Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm Katie Halper.

0:07.8

And I'm Mary Matte. Thanks so much for joining us. Our website is Useful Idiots Podcast.com.

0:13.1

As we say goodbye today to the Joe Biden administration, the guy who saved democracy, only to preside over a genocide, a horrible

0:25.0

proxy war, and to top it all off, went ahead and pardoned his son, Hunter, after saying he wouldn't

0:31.3

do that. There's so much to look back on. But we're going to focus today, of course, on what will

1:33.2

at least for the last time while he's Secretary of State.

1:37.6

Let's take a look at Anthony Blinken during his own farewell address, how he was greeted

1:43.1

by people in the audience.

1:46.4

At the same time, we strengthen America's robust sanctions regime on Iran and delivered on President Biden's commitment.

1:52.9

You will forever be known as Bloody Blinken, Secretary of Genocide.

1:59.5
