Trump Has Dementia and Everyone Knows It Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

Hawk also covers the ongoing Iran conflict, where Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon had repeatedly claimed total air dominance over Iran, only for Iranian forces to shoot down two US aircraft, requiring a dramatic rescue of a weapons systems officer after a firefight with Iranian troops. Hawk argues the drone and missile strikes on Venezuelan boats, where no victims have been identified by name or proven to be criminals, amount to murder, and points out that unlike the president, Pete Hegseth has no immunity from criminal prosecution once he leaves office.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott retweeted an obviously AI-generated photo claiming to show a rescued fighter pilot, drawing public criticism for spreading AI slop and demonstrating a troubling lack of basic media literacy from an elected official. The episode closes with the head of NASA stating that aliens are probably real, prompting Hawk to question whether any intelligent extraterrestrial life would want anything to do with a planet currently being run by Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Benjamin Netanyahu.

American Support of Israel is Collapsing and Netanyahu Knows It Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

For the first time in polling history, American sympathy for Palestinians has surpassed sympathy for Israel. AIPAC, once a powerhouse lobbying organization, has become toxic in Democratic politics. Democratic candidates are being pressed to publicly disavow AIPAC and answer directly whether what happened in Gaza constitutes genocide. Many are fumbling that question, and voters are noticing.

Netanyahu and his government appear to understand the timeline clearly. With roughly two and a half years left in Trump's second term, they are working that window as hard as possible, knowing that if Democrats retake the House, Senate, and White House in 2028, the era of unconditional U.S. military funding and political cover is over. The $4 billion a year with no strings attached will not survive a Democratic majority.

AIPAC is already reinventing itself through shell groups with generic American-sounding names to continue funneling money to candidates without the now-toxic AIPAC brand attached. Tim Miller recently called it the worst self-inflicted collapse of a lobbying organization he has ever witnessed.
Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz threatens global trade. Israel is becoming an international pariah. The propaganda cover is gone, and the clock is running.

Everyone's First Amendment Rights Are At Risk Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

The case centers on a July 4th, 2025 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, where a group of individuals armed with AR-15s and handguns opened fire on law enforcement, shooting a police officer in the neck. Two of the defendants actually fired weapons. The other six were convicted largely for wearing black, throwing fireworks, and holding anti-fascist beliefs.

Hawk, a former criminal defense attorney, walks through the federal indictments, the conspiracy charges, and how Donald Trump's National Security Presidential Memo Number 7 and a December 2025 directive from then-Attorney General Pam Bondi turned what were essentially vandalism and protest charges into domestic terrorism prosecutions carrying 55-year federal sentences.

The legal framework being used targets anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, anti-Americanism, support for trans rights, and protesting ICE as ideological indicators of domestic terrorism. Hawk examines how conspiracy law allows the acts of one person to be applied to an entire group, how "providing material support to terrorists" became the anchor charge against people who never touched a gun, and why Antifa, which has no formal organizational structure, membership rolls, or leadership, is being treated as a designated terrorist organization. The Pam Bondi memo, Kash Patel's hollowing out of the FBI, and the gutting of the DOJ are all part of the picture Hawk lays out in one of his most detailed and legally grounded episodes yet.

Third Way, Hassan Piker, and How Democrats Lose the 2026 Midterm Elections Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

The Hassan Piker litmus test being pushed by Third Way president Jonathan Cowan includes a letter sent directly to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, pressuring him to cut ties with Piker before planned college campus rallies. Hawk calls out this move as a political threat from an unelected think tank trying to dictate who Democratic candidates are allowed to campaign with.
The Bulwark columnist Lauren Egan and journalist Andrew Perez of Zeteo both weighed in on the controversy, as did Bulwark contributor Tim Miller, whose livestream defense of common sense over factional infighting drew backlash from AIPAC-aligned media. Hawk also draws direct parallels to the treatment of Zohran Mamdani after his New York City Democratic primary win, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's widely condemned response to it.

Third Way openly declared it will be the chief opponent of the left in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, targeting Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and abolishing ICE. Hawk argues that an organization spending tens of millions against its own party base, rather than against Republicans, reveals exactly who controls the Democratic Party and why so many progressive voters feel politically homeless.

Project 2025 Is Already Here - And It's Worse Than Anyone Predicted Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

The Trump administration fired over 300,000 federal employees, with Black women disproportionately represented among those let go. Pete Hegseth purged generals and military personnel. Kash Patel fired more than a thousand experienced FBI agents. Pam Bondi gutted the DOJ of over 6,400 people. The result: the very agencies Trump wanted to weaponize against his enemies are now too hollowed out to function.

The Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's Office lost 75% of its staff after prosecutors refused to charge protesters with terrorism-related felonies. Grand juries are rejecting politically motivated cases. Federal judges are throwing out prosecutions targeting figures like Letitia James and James Comey. Illegally appointed U.S. attorneys like Alina Haba and Lindsay Halligan are being blocked by the courts.

Hawk identifies three categories of resistance keeping democracy alive: everyday Americans confronting ICE, citizens serving on grand juries and rejecting bad cases, and federal district court judges like Judge Boasberg refusing to rubber-stamp political prosecutions. The episode closes with a brutally honest reflection on Trump voters and a focus group story about a disabled mother on Medicaid who supported stripping healthcare from trans kids even as the big beautiful bill threatened to leave her and her children homeless.

Trump is Going to Lose the Birthright Citizenship Case Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

Hawk breaks down a clip from Steve Bannon's War Room featuring MAGA attorney Mike Davis, who repeatedly misrepresents what was actually before the court, falsely framing the case as being about undocumented immigrants and Chinese birth tourists rather than the actual constitutional question. Davis, who clerked for Neil Gorsuch and helped confirm both Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, is called out for being deliberately misleading to his audience despite clearly knowing better.

The 14th Amendment states plainly that anyone born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction is a citizen. No executive order can override that language. Meanwhile, Trump's gold citizenship cards, selling U.S. citizenship for $5 million, highlight the selective and racially motivated nature of his immigration agenda.

Pam Bondi, Epstein Files, Mail in Ballots, Midterm Elections, etc. Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Pam Bondi is out, making her the shortest-tenured confirmed attorney general in 60 years. Her portrait was photographed in a trash can at the DOJ the very next day. Todd Blanch, Trump's own criminal defense attorney from the 34-felony-count trial, is now acting attorney general. His first two official acts: declare that Trump can take classified documents when he leaves office, including war plans against Iran shown to golfing buddies, and announce he will not release any further Epstein files, in direct violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Trump himself signed into law.
Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace is pushing forward with the Pam Bondi subpoena regardless, noting it was issued by name, not by title.

Trump's name appears over one million times in the three million pages of released Epstein documents, more than anyone except Epstein himself, beating out Prince Andrew.
On the mail-in ballot executive order, election law expert David Becker is 100% confident it will be blocked. The Constitution grants zero authority to the president over elections. Three courts have already blocked a prior version. The new one is already facing multiple lawsuits filed within 36 hours of signing.

We Are Not Winning The Iran War and Have No Path To "Win" at this Point Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

The Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Iran has demonstrated it can close it and keep it closed. The US and Israel have no effective answer. The economic consequences are already rippling through Asia and Europe, with China and Russia emerging as the two clearest winners of this conflict. Retired General Mark Hertling, responding to Trump's recent speech, reportedly told his team they were all going to die. That same week, Hegseth fired the Army's top general over personal vendettas and the general's refusal to go along with Hegseth's treatment of officers.

NATO is effectively finished. The US military continues spending $3 million missiles to shoot down $50,000 drones. No troops on the ground yet, but the specter of Karg Island looms. Trump's second term has exceeded the worst imaginable predictions, and the people who voted for him in 2024, fully informed, bear responsibility for where we are.

Meet the Only Person Who Voted NOT to Release the Epstein Files Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Hawk covers Higgins's notorious record, including his conspiracy theories about January 6th, his claim that undercover FBI agents orchestrated the Capitol attack, and his attempt to get FBI Director Christopher Wray to confirm informants were planted in the crowd. Higgins remains the only member of Congress out of 428 to vote against the Epstein Files Transparency Act, where his stated goal was protecting the unnamed men in those files.

Higgins's history of racist social media posts is also on full display, from threatening legally armed Black men during the BLM protests to his rant about Haitian migrants, which even fellow Republicans condemned. After Speaker Mike Johnson defended him, Higgins publicly stated he would post the same content again without hesitation. Despite it all, Louisiana voters returned him to Congress for a fifth term.

Will Donald Trump Pull the U.S. Out of NATO Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

Hawk opens the morning from the West Coast, running on little sleep after earthquakes and a sick dog, with a rundown of overnight developments that paint a grim picture of where the country is headed. Gas hit $4.02 per gallon nationwide overnight, the highest since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a stark contrast to Trump's campaign promise to bring prices down on day one.

The US reportedly used 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs on an Iranian ammo depot, but also struck a civilian desalination plant providing drinking water to a city of 2.5 million people, a likely war crime under international law. Trump took to Truth Social to tell the UK and France to go get their own oil, openly dismissing two of America's closest post-World War II allies while threatening to leave them without US military support.

Pete Hegseth, after weeks of claiming Iran's military was fully degraded, was forced to admit at a morning press conference that Iran still retains the ability to strike. Iran has since hit targets in Israel including the Dimona nuclear site, launched a rocket 4,000 kilometers, and destroyed a $500 million AWACS jet on a Saudi base. Trump's approval rating has dropped to 33% in a UMass Amherst poll, and reports indicate he is bored with the Iran war and looking for an exit, potentially without resolving the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
