Hawk Podcasts
A licensed trial attorney for 25 years brings his legal experience and knowledge to the news of the day and current events. He is raw, unfiltered, unedited, authentic, vulnerable, and sometimes annoying. His laugh is infectious, and he often engages in long periods of awkward silence. He tells it like it is, making listeners on both the left and right uncomfortable at times, but definitely making them think.
Episodes
The Second Amendment is Dead According to Markwayne Mullin
The footage Jacob Soboroff aired shows plainclothes agents in masks and construction vests, no visible badges, rifles drawn, banging on a driver's window. Firearms safety starts with knowing what is behind your target. A car has a license plate. Arrest him later.Hawk, a gun owner, asks the question the Second Amendment crowd won't: what does the right to self-defense mean when armed, masked men wi
That Kid Could Have Been Killed - The Accountability Coming for ICE
The pattern is familiar: ICE agents firing into cars, from Renee Good in Minneapolis to recent shootings in Houston and Austin, where a food delivery driver was shot. Most major police departments bar officers from shooting into moving vehicles except in narrow circumstances. With firearms the leading cause of death for American children, what if that boy had been hit?To Hawk, the surges in New Yo
Zohran Mamdani Mourned October 7th and Named Gaza - The Backlash Was Instant
Hawk condemns Hamas and the October 7 attack without reservation, and argues that more than one thing can be true at the same time. In his view, every fact in Mamdani's statement holds up.Democrat Jared Moskowitz called it atrocious. Joe Walsh, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Nikki Haley, Ben Shapiro, and ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt piled on, demanding one day of mourning without mention of Gaza. Alex Vindm
The Jack Smith Hearing Backfired Spectacularly
The problem, as Smith calmly explained and Senator Amy Klobuchar later confirmed, is that Smith was not at a Hawks game in Atlanta at all. He was at a University of Maryland game against the Iowa Hawkeyes to watch Caitlin Clark. Schmitt had confused the Hawks with the Hawkeyes, and his staff's supposed smoking-gun texts did not even mention Atlanta or come from Smith.Hawk walks through the exchang
Jack Smith Testifies Tuesday - The Worst Possible Timing for Republicans
His point is about timing and substance. Roughly six weeks before the midterms, with Trump's approval mired in the low 30s and Republicans distancing themselves from him, a public hearing invites Smith to walk through, on national television, the classified-documents case at Mar-a-Lago and the four-count indictment over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Hawk notes Smith has said he stands by
Words Have Meaning
The heart of the video walks through how a specific contested term is actually defined, including its origin after World War II and the criteria laid out in the 1948 United Nations Convention. Hawk contrasts that formal legal definition with the statistical argument Galloway made, and lays out at length why he finds the definition, not the framing around it, to be what matters.This is a long, poin
ICYMI Lauren Boebert is Not a Lesbian
He then turns to a new, sworn ethics complaint filed against Rep. Lauren Boebert by David Wheeler of the American Muckrakers PAC, alleging she had relationships with staffers in violation of House rules and arranged a payment to keep one of them quiet. Hawk is careful to note the full picture: Boebert has flatly denied the allegations as a politically motivated stunt, a named staffer has called th
The Rule of Law No Longer Exists - ICE Agents Are Domestic Terrorists
The heart of the video is Hawk's legal argument about how the courts made this possible. He points to the Supreme Court's shadow-docket order and Brett Kavanaugh's lengthy concurrence, now referred to as authorizing Kavanaugh stops, which he says effectively carved out an exception to Fourth Amendment search-and-seizure and 14th Amendment equal-protection guarantees for tens of millions of Hispani
Trump Says Biden Ordered the Hit on Him in Butler, PA - The Media is Silent
Reacting alongside commentary from The Bulwark, Hawk's point is less about the claim itself than the silence around it: a sitting president publicly alleged that his predecessor used the federal government to try to have him killed, and Hawk says he could find only a single news article covering it.He connects the claim to the Supreme Court's immunity ruling, noting that Trump's own attorney argue
The End Of American Democracy - The January 3rd Scenario
The scenario centers on January 3, 2027. Even if Democrats win House and Senate majorities in November, Luttig argues, Speaker Mike Johnson could move before noon that day to replace House Clerk Kevin McCumber with a loyalist who leaves duly elected Democrats off the roll of the incoming 120th Congress, forcing a court fight that could drag on for weeks and ultimately reach the Supreme Court. Hawk
And Another Thing with Shaana and Hawk: AI Doom, Stolen Midterms, and the 2028 Field
From there the conversation turns to the 2026 midterm elections. Hawk lays out his fear about the stretch between election night and the January swearing in, the prospect of ballots being seized before they are counted, and a militarized presence at the polls, while Shaana argues for voting in person and reads the whole cycle as a referendum on cost of living and corporate greed, drawing on what s
Trump - a - Palooza: Night One
Hawk runs through the rest of the lineup and a bizarre moment when an image of Hasan Piker appeared on the arena Jumbotron during an anti socialism segment, along with Piker's reaction. He also fact checks Trump's tarmac claims that the Iran war and high gas prices will both end right after the midterms, pointing out that Iran has in fact been escalating, launching one of its largest attacks of th
It’s Just Like Covid - Everyone is an Expert
His larger point is that the Dunning Kruger effect is not a partisan trait. Hawk argues it shows up just as often on the left as on the right, and he pushes back on the idea that acknowledging hard truths and respecting expertise are somehow in conflict.On the Clancy case itself, Hawk holds two things at once. He says the expanded public conversation about postpartum depression and postpartum psyc
Nobody Is Stopping Trump's Plan to Throw Away Your Ballot
Drawing a line back to 2020 and the stretch between election night and January 6th, Hawk argues the difference now is planning. He points to reporting that ICE is building a multimillion dollar national voter database, to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin saying agents could appear at polling places, and to a New York Times account of federal agents combing state voter rolls without warrants.
The war
Should Democrats IMPEACH TRUMP a Third Time?
From there Hawk lays out the political reality. Even with 52 or 53 Senate seats, Democrats would be far short of the Republican votes needed for conviction, and a Republican-controlled Senate might decline to hold a trial at all. He notes how Mitch McConnell pointed to the courts after January 6th, and how impeachments historically boost a president's poll numbers, as they did for Bill Clinton and
Some Good News - Senate Polling Shows Democrats Leading in 8 Races
From there he runs the board on eight Senate races where Democrats are polling ahead: Mary Peltola in Alaska, Jon Ossoff defending Georgia against Mike Collins, Josh Turek in Iowa, Troy Jackson taking on Susan Collins in Maine after Graham Platner exited the race, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan against Mike Rogers, Roy Cooper with a commanding lead in North Carolina, Sherrod Brown mounting a comeback
We ALL Know What Is Coming and No One Is STOPPING HIM
The conversation turns to a hard truth: nobody is doing anything to stop him. Hawk points to Donald Trump's second term, the harm being done to others on purpose, and the fear that Trump and Republicans will interfere with the midterm elections. He calls out the Supreme Court for gutting the Voting Rights Act in the South and names it the most racist court of his lifetime, arguing that American in
AIPAC Democrats Can't Stop Attacking Hasan Piker
Hawk examines AIPAC influence, Democratic Party divisions over Israel, Gaza, military aid, Zionism, antisemitism, and whether criticism of the Israeli government is being unfairly conflated with hatred of Jewish people. Names raised include Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, Alyssa Slotkin, Josh Gottheimer, Rashida Talib, Bill Maher, Jonathan Greenblatt, and Wolf Blitzer.
He questions whether establish
This is Sad and Embarrassing
Two genuinely ridiculous things crossed Hawk's desk today, and they rhyme.
First, The Atlantic reports that with his approval parked in the low thirties, the president sat his advisors down to figure out how to spend a roughly $400 million super PAC war chest, and the master plan they landed on is more of himself. The diagnosis from his own team is that voters just haven't been properly introduced
The Lindsay Clancy Trial: How Expert Witnesses Actually Work
The center of it is expert testimony. When a defendant's mental state is the whole question, both sides bring in psychologists, and everything those witnesses say is opinion, not fact. Hawk walks through what it takes to qualify an expert, why the phrase to a reasonable degree of psychological certainty matters, and why cross examination is where these witnesses are really tested. One clip shows a
Abolish and Prosecute ICE
His argument is simple and hard to answer. If ICE and Border Patrol were detaining dozens of violent criminals, carjackers, traffickers, members of Tren de Aragua, this administration would put them in front of cameras every single day. It has not done that once. What the cameras show instead are car accident victims, longtime residents, and families.
One case Hawk returns to: a sailor serving abo
The Flock CEO Says Privacy Can't Be The Main Concern
The reasoning is the interesting part. Rogers's team reportedly believes AIPAC spending would backfire and help El-Sayed, which is roughly what happened in the primary, where heavy spending on Haley Stevens preceded her loss.
At a Myrtle Beach rally for Darlene Graham, Trump said out loud what Republicans have been worrying about privately: his voters do not turn out when he is not on the ballot.
Remembering Dolly Parton, Everything That Was Good In The World
Hawk set aside everything else he had planned to make this one instead, and to let Dolly speak for herself through her own words.
The numbers are staggering, but they were never the point. Born the fourth of twelve children in a one room cabin in East Tennessee, to a father who could not read or write. She launched the Imagination Library in 1995 and it has mailed hundreds of millions of free book
Elbows Up! Canada Hits Back at Trump
Trump has since announced that on January 1st, 2027, tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel go to 50 percent. Carney says Canada will match them dollar for dollar.
CNN's Daniel Dale ran the fact check. Canadian unemployment is 6.4 percent and has been falling for three months, not 10 and rising. Canada does 72 percent of its trade with the US, not 95. And the trade deficit runs on
This Supreme Court Will Stop At Nothing to Save Donald Trump
Hawk reads the order rather than the coverage, and the distinction matters. The Court did not decide whether any of this is lawful. It held that the states lack standing because the order has not been implemented, that a president may direct agencies within his own branch, and that setting prosecutorial priorities falls under Article II. The majority says explicitly that implementation may still p
A Malignant Narcissist Backed Into A Corner - This Will Get Worse
Follow Dr. G here: https://www.tiktok.com/@drg.bodylanguage
The part Hawk keeps coming back to is why the temperature is rising now. The Save Act has not moved through the Senate. The Supreme Court has not ruled on the executive order aimed at mail voting. The effort to obtain state voter rolls has lost in court repeatedly. The midterms are coming and the numbers are not close. The Iran war has no
No Hakeem, Absolutely Not
Hawk's objection is structural. Kushner holds no government position, which is what keeps him outside security clearance and financial disclosure requirements, and he is simultaneously serving as envoy on Gaza, Iran, and Ukraine while raising money for his own fund from the governments he is negotiating with.
The arithmetic is the part worth watching. Steven Rattner's chart work shows the fund is
It is Simply Racial Profiling - Period
Hawk walks through Adam Serwer's Atlantic piece, The See No Evil Supreme Court, and the framework Serwer names the neo Korematsu doctrine: if any non racial explanation for a policy can be constructed, however hypothetical, the racial animus behind it stops mattering legally. Serwer traces it from Trump v. Hawaii through Louisiana v. Callais and the TPS ruling, and contrasts it with Masterpiece Ca
They Want To Repeal The 19th Amendment
The testimony in that case has covered her marriage, her care, and what she was experiencing before the killings, including perinatal and postpartum mental illness. A lot of women recognized pieces of their own experience in it and said so publicly.
Hawk's point is the distinction being deliberately collapsed. Empathy for what someone went through is not approval of what they did, and he has not s
Oh, Hey Melania - LOL
The letters themselves are extraordinary. Pride and Prejudice references, apologies for losing focus, a line about him being her guardian and protector. Alongside them is the earlier reporting that Harp spent her first year in the White House without a security clearance while sitting beside the president for twelve or more hours a day, with world leaders routing messages through her.

Midterm Nightmare Scenario - One Republican Says We're Not Devious Enough To Guess What's Coming
The quotes from Republican officials are the ones that land. One said they are not devious enough to anticipate what is coming. Another warned about what replaces the ballot when confidence in it collapses.
Hawk walks through 2020 footage from Phoenix, Detroit, and Philadelphia, plus the Fulton County ballot seizure and why the statute of limitations makes that warrant hard to explain.
His argumen
Eric Swalwell Had a Bad Day Today - The FBI Searched His Home And Seized His Devices
Hawk's interest is procedural. Two actions like that mean two warrants, which means agents went to a federal judge with an affidavit and established probable cause, both that crimes likely occurred and that evidence of them would likely be found in those specific places. That is a meaningful threshold, and it is not a finding of guilt.
The open question is jurisdiction. Sexual assault is generally
Bad News for MAGA: A 38 Point Swing With White Working Class Voters
The main event is Kash Patel's defamation suit against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick. Joyce Vance laid out on her Substack why it goes badly for him regardless of outcome. Dismissal ends it. Survival opens discovery, and Patel filed, which means he answers document requests, interrogatories, and requests for admission, then sits for a deposition, along with however many FBI personnel
Good News About The Midterms: This Looks Better Than The Data Looked In 2018
The Downballot ran the numbers on 110 special elections since January 2025. Democrats are outrunning Kamala Harris's 2024 margins by 12.5 points on average and Joe Biden's 2020 numbers by 8.4. That implies a roughly 12 point environment in House and Senate races, slightly better than what the same measure showed heading into 2018, when Democrats gained 40 House seats. Brandon Dukes just flipped Pe
Jared Moskowitz Suggested Denying DSA Members of Congress Security Clearances
These are candidates who won Democratic primaries. Eight or ten of them now, several against sitting incumbents. Angie Nixon is running the same play everywhere it works: populism and affordability, gas and groceries and rent and utility bills. Hawk's read is that elected Democrats spent fifteen or twenty years answering to donors, AIPAC, and the DNC instead of their own voters, and this is what t
A Judge Just Ordered Ten Years Of Sealed Maxwell Documents Unsealed
The background matters. Judge Sweet's 2016 protective order let the attorneys themselves designate documents confidential, with no judicial review unless the other side objected. Dozens of filings went under seal on that basis and stayed there after the 2017 settlement. Maxwell was deposed twice in 2016, and prosecutors later charged her with perjury over that testimony.
Preska's holding is that t
The DOJ's Latest Plan to Steal the Midterm Elections?
The Senate sits at 53 to 47. Democrats need four seats for a majority. Realistic targets include Alaska, Texas, Ohio, Maine, Iowa, North Carolina, and possibly Kansas and Nebraska, while holding open seats in Michigan and Minnesota. The House is tighter than it looks: Southern redistricting after this year's Voting Rights Act ruling is projected to cost Democrats a dozen seats, so the real number
HEY MAGA: Who Were You Before June 2015?
One question, asked directly, for eleven minutes. Who were you before June 2015?
Hawk's premise is that something changed when Donald Trump rode down that escalator, and that for a lot of people it changed permanently. An identity built around one man. A grievance framework that assigns every disappointment to somebody else. A new community that replaced the old one.
The part he keeps returning to
Lowest Approval Rating Yet - Trump Is An Absolute Failure
Four stories. Former State Department official Matt Bartlett joined Jonathan Lemire on Morning Joe and was candid about Republican midterm prospects and the absence of a message beyond one bill.
Charlamagne tha God gave Hakeem Jeffries a Donkey of the Day over his answer on Medicare for All, a bill Jeffries cosponsored from 2013 onward before becoming leader. Hawk connects that to why DSA backed c
Trump Has No Respect for Military Personnel Stationed in the Gulf Region
A new CBS poll showing Democrats favor socialism over capitalism by a wide margin, and the definitions people keep collapsing into each other.
Todd Blanche spoke at a political rally on Long Island Friday and appeared to endorse Bruce Blakeman. Attorneys general do not do this. The reaction was immediate and bipartisan, from Mark Elias and Chuck Todd to Joe Walsh, John Harwood, Greg Nunziata, and
Joe Rogan Is Warning Republicans They Just Handed Texas To Democrats
The penalties are the part that stands out. A single gram can carry jail time and a state felony, which means losing firearm rights permanently in Texas. Larger quantities scale up fast. Products bought legally weeks ago are now contraband.
Seven years of legal sales built a multibillion dollar industry with real employees and real customers across both parties. Rogan's argument is that those peop
The Entire MAHA Movement is Eugenics in Disguise
The natural immunity framing from the COVID years carried the same premise underneath: strong enough to get through it and you live, and if not, that is simply how it goes. Applied to a country where most people accumulate two or three chronic conditions with age, that is a policy with a serious body count. Measles is already back at levels not seen in decades.
Bouie's closing point is the one tha
MAGA Chud Gets Owned On Live TV
Hawk adds the comparison Honig gestured at. The civil case against Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization turned on proven intent to defraud lenders over a decade. The half billion dollar judgment was later thrown out, but the fraud finding stands. Signing what a mortgage broker puts in front of you is not that.
There is also the setting. This ran alongside a Long Island rally where Todd Blan
Democrats Will Subpoena Melania Trump Regarding Epstein Files
His argument on precedent is the interesting part. Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton, which he reads as settling the question of whether presidential family members and former first ladies can be called. He says there is no question they want to talk to her, and that if she wants justice for survivors she should work with them.
That reading rests on her own Apr
2026 Internment Camps - Green Card Holders, No Criminal Record, Four Months In Detention
Her husband, who mentors PhD students at the Chicago School, was picked up on April 9th when he failed to collect their son from school. The next morning her car was surrounded and she watched her son, a California resident since pre-K who speaks only English, be handcuffed. They were moved to Texas overnight. Her husband went to the South Texas facility at Pearsall, alone. She was told that in th
If Trump Declares An Emergency Five Days Out, Who Actually Stops Him?
Kinzinger's concern matches Hawk's. Not whether it would be legal, since the Constitution gives the president no role in elections and states and counties run them, but whether courts could move fast enough if it happened days before voting, and what enforcement would look like after an order issued.
The political picture explains the temptation. Approval at record lows, a wide primary turnout gap
Donald Trump is Dying and the White House is Lying to Us About It
The question Reiner raises is disclosure rather than diagnosis. What the White House releases about an 80 year old president does not match what is visible in daily footage, and the public has no reliable way to check.
Hawk's comparison is to the last two years of Joe Biden's term, when people around him managed his schedule and limited his exposure, and to Ronald Reagan's final years in office. T
Good Laughs: A 40 Minute Blind Reaction To The Majority Report - Sam Seder on Hasan Piker
The list Seder reads out is the point. A war with Iran, an economy squeezing people at the register, an Attorney General installed to serve one man, and reporters asking Dr. Abdul El-Sayed about a streamer instead. Kristen Welker asking candidates whether Israel has a right to exist, when the parallel question about Palestine in 1948 never gets asked at all.
Hawk's read on the timeline: before Apr
Republican Crash Out - Just How Dumb Are Trump Supporters?
Meanwhile his campaign against James Talarico runs almost entirely on ads about medical transition and children, while he trails in the polling.
Second, Michigan Republican Lisa McClain went on Fox and attributed a claim about COVID vaccines and first trimester miscarriage rates to the New England Journal of Medicine. The journal published no such finding.
Third, Fox host Sandra Smith cannot work
Trump Left His Own Cabinet On The Plane That Was Under Threat
Hawk holds that against the rest of the picture. Gas prices at an August high, groceries up sharply, a one bedroom in San Francisco averaging 4,000 dollars a month, and Maggie Haberman's reporting that a large share of the president's attention is going to White House renovations.
Approval sits around 32 percent. Hawk's frustration is not reserved for one side: with less than 90 days to the midter
Israel First - Americans Last: This is Chuck Schumer
Pair that with Jon Stewart's interview of John Fetterman, where Stewart calmly walked him to the admission that support for Israel is the line. Agreement on nearly everything else does not matter if a Democrat breaks on that one.
Meanwhile Zohran Mamdani ran on affordability and taxing the rich and won. That is the pattern across these races, and it keeps getting explained as anything other than c
Trump Eyes A National Emergency to Steal The Midterms
The constitutional answer is straightforward. Article I gives Congress limited authority over federal elections, which states and county officials actually administer. Article II gives the president none.
The political picture explains the interest. Nate Silver's model has Democrats around 85 percent to take the House and better than even odds in the Senate. Trump's approval is at record lows and
Criminals Preparing to Lose the Midterms
The timing is the story. Legal historian Holly Brewer's read is that the document was written while Blanche was still acting AG and kept from the senators voting on him, Republicans included. Amanda Carpenter put it simply: a new Attorney General and a new immunity. Chuck Todd's point is that the memo's existence is an admission the White House expects subpoenas aimed at the private parties who di
Trump Just Signed An Order Rewriting The Childhood Vaccine Schedule
The underlying science has not moved. There is no link between vaccines and autism. That question has been studied for decades across millions of children in multiple countries, and autism has a substantial genetic component.
Spreading the schedule out is not a neutral change. It means more office visits, more billing, more needle sticks per child, and protection arriving later than it should, aga
Mainstream Media is Cooked - TURN IT OFF
This started in April, when Piker appeared at a campaign event with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and El-Sayed climbed in the polls. Third Way then organized a denunciation with members of Congress.
Zohran Mamdani ran on free buses, cheaper housing, childcare, groceries, and taxing the rich, and most New York Democrats still would not endorse him. Hawk connects that to Kirsten Gillibrand's langua
Morning Joe Is Afraid to Even Say Hasan Piker's Name
The record backs the frustration. Roe was never codified when Democrats had the chance. Medicare for All has been a talking point for 25 years. The federal minimum wage is still 7.25 an hour, under 15,000 dollars a year. Six or seven Democrats reliably cross over on defense authorization and funding bills, and then Chuck Schumer writes a letter.
Nicolle Wallace made the point that stuck with Hawk:
They Are Eating Each Other Alive
On Monday morning's War Room, Navarro's complaint was that Jeanine Pirro has not fired John Crabb, the Justice Department prosecutor who handled both cases. Bannon pushed back, because he likes Pirro. Hawk's observation is that Crabb remains employed in good standing, which says something about how much pull Navarro actually has.
Then there is the older footage. Navarro sat with Ari Melber on MSNB
Ken Paxton Thinks You Are Stupid
The second one borrows from 1964. The original Daisy ad ran exactly once, cast Barry Goldwater as a threat to American children, and closed with Lyndon Johnson's line about loving each other or dying. Johnson won in a landslide and the spot became the most famous attack ad in American political history.
In the remake, the girl picking daisies is regenerated with AI and placed on an operating table
Netanyahu Just Rejected Trump's Plan To Disarm Hamas
The framework paired Hamas disarmament with an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Hawk's read is that the withdrawal was never happening, because the objective has been the land.
Then there is the history. For nearly a decade Netanyahu's government permitted Qatari cash to flow into Gaza, delivered by hand on monthly trips. Netanyahu defended it as buying quiet. Critics and intelligence assessments say
El-Sayed Won And The Pundits Only Want To Talk About Hasan Piker
Then there is the commentary. John Heilemann gave a long stretch of Impolitic to Hasan Piker rather than to the money in the race, with Ben Wikler as his guest. Hawk's response is simple: Piker is not on the ballot and El-Sayed is the nominee.
The money is the actual story. AIPAC spent heavily to get Stevens through the primary and has signaled it will spend against El-Sayed in the general, on beh
Imagine Being this Weak and Subservient to Donald Trump
Then there are the nominees. Hawk turns to Senate Judiciary confirmation hearings, where Cory Booker and Richard Blumenthal keep asking a question none of them will touch: who won the 2020 election.
There is a legal wrinkle worth noting. The question as phrased lets a witness pivot to the Electoral College and the congressional certification. Asking who won the popular vote in 2020 would close tha
Even Shawn Ryan And Megyn Kelly Are Turning On Trump Now
Several respected polls, Quinnipiac and AP among them, now put Trump's approval rating in the low thirties, with one at 30 percent. Some of those figures sit below where he was after January 6th. He is an anchor on Republican candidates while endorsing people like Ken Paxton.
Shawn Ryan and Megyn Kelly have both gone public with their disillusionment over the second term, the self enrichment, the
Trump's Voter Roll Plan Is Collapsing 90 Days Before The Midterms
Hawk lays out why the executive branch has no constitutional role in running state or federal elections, why only a handful of red states have handed over raw voter data, and why no blue state and no court is going to force that information out.
There is also the collapse of the reflecting pool prosecutions. Janine Pirro dismissed the criminal vandalism charges after admitting there was no evidenc
New Mexico's AG Sues Todd Blanche/DOJ Over Epstein's Zorro Ranch
The news is a lawsuit. New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez, who says the property sits in his jurisdiction and that he has received little cooperation from the DOJ under Todd Blanche, appeared on Jake Tapper's program and has now sued Blanche, the Department of Justice, and the administration, demanding unredacted files, documents, and witness statements related to the ranch. Hawk notes the es
El-Sayed Wins Michigan Primary - Trump Called the Michigan Result Rigged
Hawk breaks down Trump's reaction, a Truth Social post calling El-Sayed a communist, alleging fraud in Wayne County, and warning of a rigged election. Hawk argues the cities Trump singles out when he cries fraud, going back to 2020, are consistently those with large Black and Latino populations, and connects it to the Supreme Court's rollback of the Voting Rights Act. He also covers JD Vance's res
Todd Blanche Wants A Nationwide Abortion Ban - Then He Will Go After Birth Control
That mechanism is the Comstock Act, an 1873 federal anti-obscenity statute that criminalized mailing contraceptives and abortion-related materials. It has gone unenforced for a century but remains on the books. Hawk walks through how, per the call, Blanche pledged to stop physicians in states where abortion is legal from mailing medication to patients in states that have banned it, and argues the
We Are Nearly Out of Missiles!?!? FFS We Outspend the Next 20 Nations on Defense
He turns to the collapse of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool prosecutions. After the charges against David Hearn and three others were dropped, Hawk, a trial attorney, explains why DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro could face bar discipline, arguing that obtaining indictments without evidence, and while holding exculpatory material, points to misrepresentations before the grand jury. Legal analyst
Committee Advances Todd Blanche In Spite of Him Being Referred for Fraud by a Federal Judge
Hawk reiterates his contract-law argument from his prior videos. The two documents Blanche released to satisfy John Cornyn and Thom Tillis do not modify the underlying settlement, because its own terms require any change to be signed by all parties, and one document is unsigned while the other carries only Blanche's signature. In Hawk's reading, Trump could still sue to reestablish the roughly 1.7
The Epstein Files Story That Should Have Ended Todd Blanche's Nomination
Hawk walks through the reporting. It describes a July 2025 Situation Room meeting, chaired by Vice President JD Vance and attended by senior officials, convened to figure out how to respond as the story divided the MAGA base. The article recounts the strategy debate, from petitioning courts to unseal grand jury transcripts to the eventual Truth Social post, alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi's o
Todd Blanche DID NOT KILL the Insurrectionist Fund: Every Reporter Got This Wrong Today
The reason is basic contract law. The underlying document is a settlement agreement in Trump versus IRS, signed in May by the Trump plaintiffs, the Department of Justice, and the IRS commissioner. Section eight of that agreement states it may be modified only with the written agreement of all parties. The two documents Blanche released today rescind a related DOJ order, but one is unsigned entirel
The Problem Is the Electorate - 77 Million People Saw All of It and Wanted More
From there Hawk turns to what he sees as the deeper issue: the electorate itself. He argues that in 2024, voters had full knowledge of Trump's record, the attempt to overturn the previous election, the events of January 6th, the indictments and the New York felony convictions, and chose him anyway. For Hawk, that choice, not any single official, is the root of where the country now finds itself.
H
Hey MAGA: They Know You Are Dumb, Gullible and Easily Manipulated.
The contrast is the whole story. Trump had repeatedly claimed he possessed photos and video of a 350-foot gash being cut into the pool, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum echoed that proof existed. Yet the dismissal filing attributes the damage to a defective installation that began failing almost immediately, and Hawk argues no criminal conduct occurred at all. He walks through why a prosecutor s
Judge Box O’Wine Loses Again
The government's own dismissal filing tells the story. According to the motion, it was only after the indictment that the Department of the Interior provided additional documents showing the damage to the reflecting pool stemmed from a flawed installation by a contractor rushing to finish before the America 250 celebrations, not from vandalism. The sealant had reportedly begun peeling almost immed
A Clown Show of Contradictions
That reversal drew a sharp response. Senator Thom Tillis posted that despite Trump saying the fund was dead, he clearly intends to resurrect what Tillis called the payout pot, and that Blanche, whom Tillis considers qualified, likely will not be confirmed because of it. The Judiciary Committee vote is set for Tuesday, the same day as the Michigan Senate primary.
Hawk makes his recurring point: Tru
He Could Have Pardoned Them a Long Time Ago
Hawk walks through the post line by line, noting that Trump could have pardoned those defendants during his final two weeks in office in 2021 but did not, and disputing Trump's characterization of the Mar-a-Lago search, which recovered classified documents under a lawful warrant. He argues this is why Cornyn and Thom Tillis want the fund and the related IRS provision killed in writing.
The second
James Comey Owned Trumps DOJ - Inside the Collapsing Comey Case
The details are remarkable. Comey's attorneys report that the Secret Service tracked his phone location without a warrant as he drove home from North Carolina, that roughly 209,000 items reading 8647, 8646, or 8645 have been sold on Amazon, and that figures who made far more explicit statements were never charged. The indictment was signed by a prosecutor who had been an assistant US attorney for
AIPAC is a LIABILITY to DEMOCRATS
Flanagan called AIPAC Craig's biggest career funder and pledged to refuse its money, saying the group labeled her a threat after she backed Bernie Sanders' resolution to block offensive arms sales to Israel. She noted meeting with AIPAC, J Street, and being endorsed by Bend the Arc. Craig countered that Flanagan was being disingenuous, citing Star Tribune reporting that Flanagan had met with AIPAC
Russia, Iran, the Michigan Debate, and Where the Hell Is Mitch McConnell
On the campaign trail, Hawk covers the Michigan Democratic Senate primary debate, where a Detroit Fox affiliate's instant poll had 95 percent of viewers saying Dr. Abdul El-Sayed beat Representative Haley Stevens, who was pressed repeatedly on the roughly 46 million dollars in AIPAC-affiliated spending backing her.
He also digs into the growing questions about Mitch McConnell, unseen publicly for
Kash Patel Is 0 for 2 on Defamation Suits and About to Go 0 for 3
The dismissal follows a Texas judge tossing Patel's case against former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi, whose on-air remarks the court called protected hyperbole. Patel has also sued the Atlantic and reporter over an article about his tenure, a suit Hawk expects to be dismissed as well, and he plans a separate video on that motion.
Hawk's larger point is about why these suits get filed at all. He co
