## Resource

The HITO boys talk about the Benjamin Netanyahu interview with 60 Minutes, where he outflanked Democrats from the left on the issue of US funding for Israel, and discussed a host of other Iran war-related news. Domestically, southern states were quick to disenfranchise black voters as soon as possible through gerrymandering after the Supreme Court functionally dismantled the Voting Rights Act. The Virginia Supreme Court also stepped in to stop a citizen-approved gerrymander, which would have countered the Republican redistricting across the country, on nonsense procedural grounds. Lastly, the boys return to Michigan to discuss a $5 million dark money campaign to force us to listen to ads in support of Haley Stevens (D-Tel Aviv).
