Summary

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).

So on Sunday, the president of the United States sat down with 60 minutes for an interview. Hell yeah. He got there. And I want to play you guys a clip here at the beginning of the show and also a couple clips at the end of the show from this interview because I gave myself the displeasure of watching the full extended 80 minute version yesterday. Because, you know, what else is a guy like me going to do? But this one, this one that I'm about to play for you right now is just a banger. This is Benjamin Netanyahu flanking the Democrats from the left. And we should just say, the reason we make the joke about Netanyahu being the president isn't because of like conspiracy theories that Jewish people control the world or anything. It's because dudes like J.D. Vance literally said he was reporting to Netanyahu during the fake negotiations with Iran. Yes, no, it's ridiculous. Netanyahu is in the situation room. Gen. Yeah, convinced Donald Trump to do this war. Like it's, Netanyahu seems to be the one that's controlling the Iran war, as Marco Rubio said initially. So you may be wondering, but how did Benjamin Netanyahu, the man, the myth of legend himself, outflank my Democrats from the left. Progressive Democrat Benjamin Netanyahu,

0:57.1

well, I'm about to show you right here. Bear with me for this one-minute clip.

0:59.8

Do you believe it's time for the state of Israel to re-examine and possibly reset its

1:05.5

financial relationship to the United States, meaning what the United States provides to

1:10.3

Israel on an annual basis?

1:12.7

Absolutely. And I've said this to President Trump. I've said it to our own people.

1:18.4

Their jaws dropped, but I said, look. What do you mean? What are you saying?

1:23.4

I want to draw down to zero the American financial support,

1:28.3

the financial component of the military cooperation that we have.

1:32.3

Bipartisan agreement.

1:33.3

Because we receive $3.8 billion a year.

1:37.3

And I think that it's time that we weaned ourselves

1:42.3

from the remaining military support.

1:45.1

Can you give me a timetable?

1:47.1

I said, let's start now and do it over the next decade, over the next 10 years, but I want

1:52.8

to start now.

1:53.5

I don't want to wait for the next Congress.

1:55.9

I want to start now.

1:57.9

And, you know, it could go down very fast.

2:00.6

Me too. I want to start right now as well. We could not be more agreement on this issue. I cannot believe Benjamin Netanyahu has outflanked the Democratic Party to the left on funding for Israel. Oh, buddy, somebody showed this to the list of Lachin. Somebody show this to Corey Book Tour. Like, yeah, now, of course he's like, he's proposing weaning them off of funding over the

2:18.6

course of like a decade.

2:19.4
