    The Murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti - What Happened in the 18 Days Between

    The accountability trail is the story. The FBI investigation that would normally follow a fatal shooting by federal officers was reportedly halted. The federal government withheld its evidence for seven months, turning it over to Hennepin County only in the days before Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing. Roughly 75 percent of the Minneapolis US Attorney's office resigned during this period, and more than half the prosecutions brought against protesters have since collapsed. Hawk offers his own reading of the Pretti footage, noting Pretti was legally carrying, and argues the sequence suggests an accidental discharge during the disarm. He stresses these remain uncharged allegations. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty now has the federal evidence, and Hawk expects charging decisions within six to eight months.

    Marin County, The Epstein Files and a High School Journalism Assignment

    Hawk, who lived in Mill Valley and still keeps a place in Marin, gives a tour of the county along the way, from Sausalito and Mount Tam to Tiburon and Point Reyes, and explains why one of the wealthiest places in America was always likely to turn up in those documents. The student's slideshow, published by the award-winning Redwood Bark, catalogued mentions of Larkspur, Corte Madera, Tiburon, Mill Valley, Novato, Kentfield, and more, with documents backing each claim. Then came the legal threat. A woman named in one slide demanded the post be taken down or she would sue for defamation. Administrators searched her name and found little, but the student had the underlying email from the files. Attorneys reportedly concluded the suit had no legs, and the threat was never carried out. Hawk uses it to talk about press freedom, evolving formats, and how good the reporting was.

    Making Measles Great Again

    The geography tells the story. South Carolina saw more than a thousand cases centered on an insular religious community in Spartanburg County. Utah is now the epicenter with 441 cases across 22 of its 29 counties, tied partly to an FLDS community, though state officials point to statewide erosion of coverage rather than any single enclave. National kindergarten MMR coverage has fallen from 95.2 percent in 2020 to 92.5 percent in 2025, below the herd immunity threshold, and religious exemptions have risen roughly fivefold since 2010. The heart of the video is Amy Maxmen's Wired piece, in which six Utah pediatricians describe treating these children: the labored breathing, the barking cough, the spinal taps to check for meningitis. Hawk is candid about his own frustration with parents who declined vaccination and then beg doctors to save their child, and he keeps returning to the fact that the kids had no say.

    Four Soldiers Came Home to Dover Today and For What?

    The middle of the episode turns inward. Reflecting on the Texas and Maine primaries, Hawk revisits his own habit of reducing elections to seat math, and admits that focusing purely on numbers led him to dismiss voices and communities he should have listened to. He is still working through what that means. From there he covers James Lankford's comments, James Clyburn's remarks about a photo from an Abdul El-Sayed rally in Michigan and the 30 million in AIPAC-backed spending behind Haley Stevens, the frustration with politicians serving into their eighties and nineties, and Trump's claim at a Georgia rally that the United States no longer needs the Strait of Hormuz.

    Angry Male Vet on Iran, the Midterms, and the Weeks That Worry Him Most

    The conversation widens to the global picture: why Iran and Ukraine have shown that larger militaries can be fought to a standstill, what that means for China and Taiwan, and how Gulf allies feel exposed. They connect the war's cost, officially put at 37.5 billion but estimated far higher, to defense and oil interests, and to a Congress they argue has stopped representing constituents. The back half turns to elections. Both stress that the president has no power over elections run by states, walk through the window between Election Day and January that concerns them most, and cite the prosecutions of Tina Peters and others as deterrents. Angry Male Vet closes with his voting rights march across the South and a message about not being scared into silence.

    SUPREME LOSER: Trump Hits a New Low of 30% Approval Rating

    The polling is the throughline. A new American Research Group poll puts Trump's approval at 30 percent against 67 percent disapproval, below the mark where George W. Bush left office, while the Iran war itself draws just 29 percent approval. Hawk pairs that with a rising US service member death toll, now four killed at a base in Jordan, and Jason Crow's blunt assessment that Americans are done with endless Middle East conflict. From there Hawk moves fast through the day's stories: a measles case count surging past 2,295, the highest in 35 years, Trump's super PAC reportedly hoarding 400 million while not funding GOP candidates, new tariffs on Canada and generic drugs, Medicaid payments cut to California and Minnesota, cabinet members joining TikTok, Andy Biggs winning the Arizona GOP nomination, and plans for Lindsey Graham to lie in state.

    It Was Russia, Not China? Or It Was China? Or Antifa?

    The speech matters less for its facts than for its signal. Hawk reads it as telegraphing that this administration will not accept the results of the midterms, and he puts it alongside the rest of the week: Jay Clayton declining to say who won in 2020, Todd Blanche testifying the president may direct prosecutions of his enemies, and Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller announcing an expansion of groups designated as domestic terrorists under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7. His practical warning is about conspiracy charges, using a Texas ICE protest case where one participant reportedly received 30 years, and how one person's actions can be attributed to an entire group. He lays out the real timeline, the eight to ten weeks between Election Day and January when the new Congress is sworn in, notes Trump has lost roughly 15 election cases this year including before his own appointees, and asks where Democratic leadership is.

    Epstein Survivor Danielle Bensky Just Testified at Todd Blanche's Confirmation Hearing

    North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis is now threatening to block the nomination unless Blanche meets personally with survivors within a day or two. The committee splits 11 Republicans to 10 Democrats, so a single Republican no vote stops it from reaching the floor, and Tillis says the earliest vote is roughly two weeks out. John Cornyn has separately voiced concerns over the settlement fund. Hawk is skeptical either will follow through. Bensky's testimony covers the January release of Epstein files in which, despite assurances about protecting identities, hundreds of victims were reportedly named and some addresses left unredacted. Hawk contrasts Blanche making time for two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, and her subsequent transfer to a minimum security facility, against never responding to a survivor.
