You know, and I got to say, Illinois 9 is getting a lot of attention, obviously.

Cat's amazing.

But there's also Robert Peters, who's getting massively attacked on all sides by all special interests.

He's got the trifecta of hell coming after him, basically.

That's in Illinois 2.

that it's really interesting because you have Illinois' nine with an electorate with way more people with masters and PhDs.

It's like Evanston, Illinois.

And then you have the second district that is a lot lower income, has less higher rates of education.

And the polling there moves much faster after AIPAC comes in and spends than it does in Illinois' ninth congressional district.

But the point that I wanted to get at is that this bundling of money that they do, the reason it can have so much of an impact is because

Candidates, when they're spending on TV, get candidate rate.

That is legally required to be the lowest rate.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding.

It has to be the lowest rate of any ad.

Sometimes 10 times as much for Super PAC.

But if it's a Super PAC where somebody says, okay, I'm going to give you $100,000 to United for Democracy Project, whatever.

That money, those ads cost twice as much if it's an independent expenditure on broadcast or on TV a lot of the time.

So that's why it has so much of an impact with that bundling of money.

And it gives the candidates the plausible deniability to be like, oh, I didn't know that this was APAC, which is obviously bullshit.

But it gives them that ability because it's not APAC directly giving them that money.
