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.

    Democratic Socialism Sweeps New York

    Hawk addresses the establishment's attempt to frame the losses as a product of antisemitism, pointing out that the three congressional districts involved contain some of the largest Jewish populations of any districts in the country, meaning Jewish voters themselves rejected the AIPAC-backed candidates in large numbers. He plays a clip of Joe Scarborough's reaction and walks through an Axios report on moderate Democrats describing the results as an earthquake. Hawk also covers New York Attorney General Letitia James expressing disappointment in Mamdani, and plays a clip of New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer going on Fox News to attack the results and conflate criticism of Israel's policies in Gaza with antisemitism. Hawk responds directly to Gottheimer's framing and his proposed legislation titled No Grounds for Discrimination, connected to a Brooklyn coffee shop named Poetica that banned Congressman Goldman over his support for Israeli policy.

    MAGA Mutiny Over Iran War Deal

    Ben Shapiro aired his own criticism, calling out JD Vance for getting embarrassed by Iran and saying he has never seen a weaker Republican performance. Hawk also plays a clip of Mark Thiessen, a former George W. Bush speechwriter and one of the most consistent Trump boosters at the Washington Post and on Fox News, breaking from his pattern of unconditional praise to call the Iran deal a disaster. Hawk walks through a list of Thiessen's previous columns dating back to March, each one predicting or celebrating Trump's imminent victory in Iran, as context for how significant it is to hear Thiessen criticize the deal at all. Hawk covers the financial terms of the agreement, including the release of roughly $100 billion in previously frozen Iranian assets that is already underway, on top of a $300 billion reconstruction fund. He also references the deal's language committing the United States to lifting all sanctions on Iran, including on oil sales, and contrasts the entire outcome with what the Obama-era JCPOA accomplished without a war or a closed Strait of Hormuz.

    Donald Trump Doesn't Understand The War He Just Lost to Iran

    Hawk plays a clip of Nichols appearing on Deadline White House with Nicole Wallace on June 22nd. He covers Trump's claim that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is essentially worthless, a reversal from his earlier position that Iran must surrender its entire nuclear program. Hawk points out that Iran only resumed enrichment after Trump tore up the JCPOA in 2018, and that JD Vance's announcement of independent nuclear inspectors entering Iran was something the Obama deal already secured from 2015 to 2018. Hawk argues that Iran won this war not militarily but economically and psychologically, by accurately profiling both Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu from the start and understanding exactly how each would respond to domestic economic pressure. He notes Trump was warned before the war began, including by Tucker Carlson, that Iran's first move would be closing the Strait of Hormuz. He didn't listen. Hawk also addresses Pete Hegseth's role, the Iranian delegation's refusal to shake JD Vance's hand, and the unresolved conflict between Israel and Lebanon that continues to block any lasting deal.

    K-Hole Nepo Baby Elon Musk MUST Pay

    On Iran, Hawk recaps the collapse of the Switzerland talks with JD Vance after Trump threatened the Iranian delegation on social media, and raises the point that Lebanon and Israel are not signatories to any negotiations despite being central parties to the ongoing conflict. He also covers the Supreme Court's new gun ruling tied to marijuana use, referencing commentary from Michael Popok, Lisa Graves, and Slate's Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern on Neil Gorsuch's reasoning. Hawk addresses the UFC fighter's remarks about Kamala Harris made at a White House event alongside Joe Rogan, and closes with election analyst Larry Sabato's outlook on 2026 Republican turnout, including Trump's successful primary purges of Thomas Massey, John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Tom Tillis.

  5. We Lost. Reading Every Term of Trump's Iran Deal and What It All Means.

    6d ago

    We Lost. Reading Every Term of Trump's Iran Deal and What It All Means.

    The MOU's opening term demands an immediate end to all military operations including in Lebanon, a war Israel is fighting against Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy. Israel was not part of the negotiations, is not a signatory, and is not named. That first sentence effectively legitimizes Hezbollah. Iran retains joint control of the Strait of Hormuz with Oman. The U.S. commits to lifting every category of sanctions: UN Security Council resolutions, IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral U.S. primary and secondary sanctions. Iran receives $100 billion in unfrozen assets with no spending restrictions and a $300 billion reconstruction fund guaranteed by the United States, also with no restrictions. Nothing in the text prevents Iran from directing that money to Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, or ballistic missile development. On the nuclear question, Hawk notes that no intelligence agency on the planet assessed Iran as close to a nuclear weapon before this war, and Tulsi Gabbard testified before Congress that Iran had not rebuilt the infrastructure destroyed last June. The two concessions Iran actually makes, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and a pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons, describe conditions that already existed before the war started. The contrast with Obama's JCPOA is direct. Obama froze all sanctions, secured a ten-year framework, fired no missiles, lost no American lives, and released $1.7 billion that was already Iranian money owed from a 1977 arms deal. Trump spent $100 billion on the war, got 14 to 15 Americans killed, sent gas and grocery prices surging, nearly triggered a global recession, and is handing Iran $400 billion with no conditions. Iran proved its regime can survive a full U.S. and Israeli military assault. Gulf states now know the U.S. cannot protect them. Israel is more isolated than at any point in modern history.

  6. The 14 Point Iran MOU Point by Point: How the United States Gave Away Everything and Gained Nothing

    Jun 17

    The 14 Point Iran MOU Point by Point: How the United States Gave Away Everything and Gained Nothing

    The MOU commits the United States to ensuring a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, lifting all sanctions regardless of type, releasing all frozen Iranian assets, and allowing immediate oil sales upon signing. Iran's nuclear program and enriched uranium stockpile are left entirely unaddressed. Israel was excluded from the negotiations and is not a party to the agreement. The signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday. Critics cited in this video span the political spectrum, from Hudson Institute fellow Josh Block to Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy, who compared the deal to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation before World War II, to National Review editor Philip Klein, who called it money for nothing. Even Ben Domenech, husband of Meghan McCain, acknowledged the deal failed to achieve any of the stated objectives before spinning it as a win. The second story covers federal prosecutors in Minneapolis announcing a 94-page indictment against 15 individuals allegedly affiliated with Antifa. Hawk notes that Antifa is not a formal organization, that 75 percent of the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office staff quit earlier this year, and that the marquee piece of evidence presented at the press conference was a Facebook post reading "we need to become ungovernable." Half of similar cases brought by this DOJ have already been dismissed.

    Uncontroverted Facts: As an Attorney I Could Never Have Defended This Man

    The uncontroverted facts: Cyrus was shot in the back. If someone is pointing a gun at you and you shoot them, they don't get hit in the back. Hawk also addresses that the jury was never told Mr. Chow had been involved in two prior shootings as a private citizen. Hawk reflects on his own criminal defense career and the moral weight of defending clients in cases involving rape and child sexual assault, and why he walked away from criminal defense law after just three years. Racism in America in 2026 is part of this conversation, and Hawk acknowledges the limits of his own perspective while using his platform to elevate Black creators speaking to that lived experience.

    Pete Hegseth is a Racist Transphobic Cosplay Warrior who Hates Women

    Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense and former Fox News weekend co-host, is facing mounting scrutiny across three major stories that broke in a single day. Hegseth has classified the Pentagon press area, effectively barring journalists from accessing public affairs officials, a move that is expected to face legal challenges after courts have already ruled against him multiple times for restricting press access. A federal appeals court blocked Trump and Hegseth's transgender military ban in a scathing 107-page opinion written by Judge Robert Wilkins, who found the policy arbitrary, demeaning, and unsupported by any factual basis, noting that transgender service members have served honorably and pose no threat to national security. The New York Times reported that Hegseth personally intervened in a slate of 22 Navy admiral promotions, blocking candidates who are disproportionately Black and female, actions that current and former defense officials say appear to violate the merit-based, apolitical promotion process.
