In the latest socially distanced episode of our Useful Idiots podcast, hosts Matt Taibbi and Katie Halper are joined by Ryan McMahon and Jon Thompson of the Thunder Bay podcast.
For “Democrats Suck,” Katie dives into former President Barack Obama’s new best-selling memoir A Promised Land, particularly the section in which Obama laments overseeing the deaths of people that he asserts he had actually wanted to help.
“Yeah, he wrote that,” says Katie.
“That takes some stones to write that, I have to say. I’m very impressed,” responds Matt.

Pop star Justin Bieber is facing criticism from an aboriginal group after saying that he believes he is part aboriginal and can fill up at the pumps for free as a result.
"I'm actually part Indian. I think Inuit or something?" Bieber was quoted as saying in Rolling Stone magazine's August issue. "I'm enough per cent that in Canada I can get free gas."
The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples said Thursday that Bieber's statement requires that "misconceptions" be cleared up.
His claim that "Aboriginal people are entitled to free gas is simply not true," the group's national chief, Betty Ann Lavallée, said in a statement.
"These kinds of remarks are another example of what Aboriginal Peoples in Canada struggle with every day," she said. "It promotes the misconception that we are somehow getting a free ride. This simply is not the case and we are concerned that many people may believe what he said.
