He's raw, unfiltered, unedited, authentic, vulnerable and sometimes annoying. His laugh is infectious, and he often engages in long periods of awkward silence. He will tell it like it is, and whether you’re on the left or the right he’s bound to make you uncomfortable at some point. But he will definitely make you think. A licensed, practicing trial attorney for the last 25 years, he brings his legal experience and knowledge to the news of the day and current events here at home to offer different perspectives and additional things to consider.

  1. Kash Patel's Embarrassing Lawsuit Against The Atlantic

    Kash Patel's Embarrassing Lawsuit Against The Atlantic

    The Atlantic published an article citing more than two dozen anonymous sources alleging that Kash Patel, the current FBI director, is frequently drunk at work, misses meetings, and has engaged in conduct that raises serious national security concerns. Within days, Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Hawk walks through the legal standards that apply to public figures in defamation cases, including the actual malice standard established in New York Times v. Sullivan, and explains why Patel faces an extraordinarily high burden of proof. The lawsuit is represented by attorney Jesse Benall, who previously represented Donald Trump in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, and multiple January 6th related civil suits. The complaint itself is examined in detail, from its self-serving denials lacking evidentiary support, to its repetitive structure, to its irrelevant sections touting FBI statistics. Hawk also covers the court's same-day dismissal of Patel's earlier defamation suit against former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi, and what the discovery process could mean for Patel if this lawsuit proceeds.

  2. Iran Is Winning This War and Trump Can't Admit It

    Iran Is Winning This War and Trump Can't Admit It

    The United States is burning through $3 million guided missiles to shoot down $50,000 drones, munitions are running low, and Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. The closing of that waterway is pushing the global economy toward recession, and the time pressure in this conflict rests entirely on Trump, not on Iran. Virginia passed a redistricting plan Tuesday that could hand Democrats three to five additional House seats, sending CNN's Scott Jennings into a predictable spiral of outrage — despite Republicans doing the same thing in Texas without a public vote. The segment closes with footage from a Jordan Klepper interview at a Turning Point USA rally in Phoenix, where Trump supporters demonstrate exactly why Hawk says he can no longer find any humor in covering this base.

  3. FBI Director Kash Patel Melts Down At Press Conference

    FBI Director Kash Patel Melts Down At Press Conference

    Rather than answer directly, Patel deflected, attacked reporters, and at one point told a journalist that the answer to their question was that they were lying. Todd Blanche stepped in asking for "a little respect" after Patel's outburst toward the press. Hawk reacts live to the full press conference, noting Patel's visible anxiety, evasive non-answers, and the body language of a man who clearly believed he was about to be fired after being locked out of the FBI network due to a technical glitch he reportedly mistook for termination. Also covered: Patel's defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, the hundreds of FBI agents currently suing Patel for allegedly unlawful terminations, the question of personal immunity in those cases, and whether his claim that arrests related to the 2020 election are "imminent" will age as poorly as Pam Bondi's promise about the Epstein client list.

  4. We Told You This Would Happen - But You Didn't Care.

    We Told You This Would Happen - But You Didn't Care.

    The Iran nuclear talks have collapsed. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were already in the Middle East when Iran pulled out of the second round of negotiations, citing Donald Trump's contradictory statements, continued U.S. military action against Iranian ships, and an ongoing blockade of Iranian ports. J.D. Vance's trip to Islamabad for further talks has been postponed indefinitely. Hawk lays out the full picture: a fake ceasefire set to expire, Pete Hegseth standing by for military escalation, and a war Hawk argues exists solely to feed Trump's ego and inflate his poll numbers at the cost of civilian lives and American service members. Beyond the Iran crisis, Hawk takes stock of what the second Trump term has actually delivered. The economic fallout from sweeping tariffs, the dismantling of NATO alliances, ICE operations targeting immigrant communities, and a family that has enriched itself by billions through crypto grifts while Trump negotiates separately with the IRS and Treasury. All of it, Hawk says, was predicted in detail before the 2024 election. The frustration extends beyond Trump voters to congressional Democrats, whom Hawk accuses of prioritizing AIPAC funding over the clear anti-war position of their own base, even as the midterms are held up as the answer to everything.

    Donald Trump Wants Epstein Victims to Testify Under Oath

    John Eastman was disbarred by the State of California for his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirchner weighs in on what that means. All six attorneys who helped Trump push his post-election legal schemes, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Chesebro, have faced disbarment or disciplinary action. Pete Hegseth delivered a press corps speech comparing the mainstream media to the Pharisees of the Bible, claiming a surge in military enlistment and defending the Yemen strikes. CNN's Jake Tapper responds. Hegseth's personal history, including allegations of alcohol abuse and a paid NDA settlement following a rape accusation, sit in sharp contrast to his stated religious values. Steve Bannon warns a Washington DC crowd about Sharia law coming to Texas and gets laughed at. California Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove closes out the episode with a message for Donald Trump.

    It is ALL MEN

    Hawk shares global statistics on intimate partner violence and femicide, noting that roughly 140 women per day are murdered by romantic partners or family members worldwide, and that women face intimate partner homicide at a rate ten times higher than men in the United States. Drawing on three real cases from his early legal career in Mansfield, Ohio, Hawk describes clients who had active restraining orders and still lost their lives. One woman died when her husband filled their home with gas and she unknowingly lit a candle. Another was beaten to death in a parking lot with a tire iron. A third was shot in front of her five children by a husband who borrowed a weapon from a sheriff's deputy who was fully aware of the restraining order and domestic violence charges. The cases raise serious questions about how courts and law enforcement handle firearms in domestic violence situations, how dangerous separation can be for women, and what patterns of male violence against women reveal about systemic failure.

    Nobody Likes You JD Vance

    Earlier in the evening, Vance told the audience that the Pope needs to be careful when discussing matters of theology, despite having converted to Catholicism relatively recently and having changed his name multiple times. Both Pope Francis and Pope Leo have publicly clashed with Vance over the ethics of war. On the legal front, attorney John Eastman, one of the key architects of efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has been disbarred in California. Fellow Trump allies Jeffrey Clark and Sydney Powell responded with outrage, calling the decision corrupt and politically motivated. CNN forecaster Harry Enten reports that Democrats now hold a 54% chance of retaking the Senate, with key races in Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Maine, and Nebraska shifting in their favor. Democrats have won every special election since Trump's inauguration, with vote swings ranging from 12 to 25 points. RFK Jr. is back in the news as a new book reveals he once stopped on a highway to collect a dead raccoon's genitals for study, keeping his kids waiting in the car, and noting he keeps a freezer stocked with roadkill.

    15 APR

    Clear and Present Danger: Discussion with Ret. Major General Randy Manner

    The discussion centers on the Strait of Hormuz and its economic impact, including rising costs and the broader consequences of disrupting global oil supply. Hawk and Manner examine how the Iran War differs from past conflicts, why a ground invasion of Iran would be a disaster, and how modern warfare involving drones and asymmetric tactics is changing everything. The conversation also addresses leadership decisions, military readiness, and the long term risks tied to escalating the Iran War. China, Russia, and shifting alliances are part of the bigger picture, with a focus on how economic power and diplomacy are being sidelined. The Strait of Hormuz crisis becomes a key turning point, with implications for global markets and American policy. Hawk brings sharp questions about strategy, accountability, and what victory even means in the Iran War, while Manner provides insight into how military leaders think about risk, escalation, and unintended consequences. The result is a grounded look at the Iran War, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and the future of US involvement.
