The Texas Senate general election is set! James Talerico is facing off against a contender for America's most corrupt man, Texas AG Ken Paxton, but before we get to that, the HITO boys have to talk about Katie Miller defending her husband Stephen Miller from the Ugly allegations on Fox News, the same updates on the Iran war over and over again, and our buildup of Naval forces outside of Cuba.

Hasan Piker has been subpoenaed for no reason, the Iran War continues (maybe forever), and no one wants to tell you the truth about anything. The boys discuss these stories, and later touch on Thomas Massie’s primary loss, the utter disaster that is the 2024 DNC autopsy release, and another flop Mallory McMorrow interview.

The same news is still happening: Iran war negotiations are fake, Trump is threatening genocide again (and admitting he doesn't care about our finances), gas prices are still high, and there is another Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire although fire has not ceased. Ka$h Patel stories keep hitting the timeline, this time it's about a “VIP snorkeling" trip at Pearl Harbor. Mallory McMorrow launched fake doctor allegations at Abdul El-Sayed, and Matt Walsh (Matt WASHED) is beefing with... Rosa Parks???

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).

Former President Obama wants a “loyal” Republican Party… whatever that means! Also, the war with Iran is still on, and the administration is finding the most childish, inane ways possible to dodge responsibility and continue to hold the world hostage with this pointless conflict. Another Kash Patel story has hit the timeline, this time about his personalized bottles of whiskey, Kamala Harris has called for the release of the DNC autopsy, and Mallory McMorrow backed out of another interview.

Conservatives continue to be incredibly unserious. Instead of getting us out of an unnecessary war with Iran, they’re posting fanfic and corny slop on the White House Twitter account. The Iran war rages on! And the boys are here to cover it. They also take time to cover the upcoming and already delivered decisions of this SCOTUS term with devastating implications for how many political ads we might be seeing in the near future. Ken Martin continues to be in the news, but this time it's for chatter about him losing his position as DNC chair.

Hasan derangement syndrome is at an all-time high! A new bipartisan bill was introduced in CONGRESS to condemn Twitch streamer Hasan Piker for his critiques of Israel. The HITO boys also check in with DNC chair Ken Martin who sat down with Jon Favreau from Pod Save America to lie about why he's hiding the 2024 election autopsy. Also, the boys touch on the horrible SCOTUS decision that finally gutted the Voting Rights Act as well as a roundup of Iran news. Later, Abraham Aiyash, candidate for Michigan’s 1st State Senate district and democratic socialist, joins the show to discuss money in politics, the Michigan Democratic Convention, the party’s inability to reckon with foreign policy failures, the uncommitted movement, and more.

The boys discuss the very, very real assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Many people are saying this could have been a false flag in order to manufacture consent for Trump's White House ballroom, and the coincidences keep piling up! Dana Bash capitulates to right-wing framing when she asks if this happened because Democrats say “Trump is bad for the country,” prompting the HITO boys to dissect the double standard between right-wing criticism of Democrats and vice versa. Listen until the end for updates on the Iran war and the situation with Tucker Carlson!
