Hawk Droppings

In this episode, Hawk dissects the eight-day unraveling of Donald Trump's presidency from June 7 to June 14. What began with an illegal deployment of National Guard troops escalated into mass protests across the nation and culminated in a failed military parade intended to intimidate—but instead inspired millions.Hawk outlines the administration's legal missteps, including the San Francisco federal judge's ruling against Trump's executive order and the shocking militarization of Los Angeles. Trump's attempted strongman tactics—featuring Marines, ICE raids, and overt threats—are laid bare, along with the political fallout from his feud with Elon Musk.California Governor Gavin Newsom, now elevated as a leading opposition figure, and Senator Alex Padilla's televised arrest highlight just how fast Trump's control is slipping. Meanwhile, Hawk skewers Trump supporters' calls for violence, the hypocrisy of “law and order” rhetoric, and the grotesque spectacle of a president who can't control his own parade, let alone the country.This episode blends political satire, hard-hitting facts, and Hawk's unfiltered commentary. Whether it's dissecting Trump's obsession with power or calling out the cruelty behind MAGA culture, Hawk delivers 90 minutes of sharp analysis and righteous anger.

In this episode of Hawk Podcasts, we dive headfirst into the bizarre and disturbing world of Curtis Yarvin, a.k.a. Mencius Moldbug—a man whose anti-democracy, neo-reactionary ideology is beloved by Silicon Valley elites like Peter Thiel, Mark Andreessen, and even JD Vance.Yarvin wants to replace democracy with a CEO-style monarchy. Yes, really. No elections, no opposition, just top-down autocratic control led by billionaires. We explore his connections to the Trump world, his shockingly racist writings, and his role in inspiring Project 2025.Along the way, we call out his bizarre terminology—“SovCorps,” “Patchwork Sovereignty,” and his casual praise for slavery as a “private welfare” solution. All from a man who claims he's not a white nationalist... even though he had to write essays explaining why.This is Part 1 of our Yarvin takedown. We'll laugh, we'll rage, we'll realign our chakras—because it's that wild.

America's Political Prisoner Mahmoud Khalil—Columbia student, green card holder, and husband to a U.S. citizen—has been detained for nearly three months without being charged with a single crime. His “crime”? Leading peaceful pro-Palestinian protests and refusing to cover his face. While his wife Noor Abdallah gave birth to their son alone, Mahmoud sat in ICE detention in Louisiana.Hawk discusses the heartbreaking and outrageous story of Khalil's arrest, the shadowy role of Canary Mission, and the disturbing involvement of officials like Marco Rubio and Columbia professor Shai Davidai. He explores how dissent is being criminalized in real time under the Trump administration—and how Canary Mission's blacklisting of activists is being used to feed arrests.Hawk highlights the courageous voice of Mahmoud's wife Noor Abdallah, legal updates on Mahmoud's case, and the broader implications for First Amendment rights, academic freedom, and the silencing of Palestinian solidarity.This is a story of political imprisonment, media complicity, and systemic injustice. It's also a story of resilience, love, and the quiet strength of a family fighting back.

In this episode, Hawk discusses El Salvador, its current President Nayib Bukele, and the controversial CECOT prison. Hawk provides historical context about El Salvador from pre-colonial times through its civil war, explaining how gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18 (which originated in Los Angeles) created severe violence in El Salvador until Bukele's crackdown beginning in 2022. The video details how El Salvador became the murder capital of the world before Bukele implemented a state of exception that suspended constitutional rights.Hawk extensively describes the CECOT terrorism confinement center, a massive prison built in just six months that now holds over 14,500 inmates in inhumane conditions. The prison features 30-foot walls, 24-hour artificial lighting, no windows, and cells where up to 160 prisoners share two toilets and two water buckets. Hawk explains that President Bukele claims no prisoner has ever been released from CECOT except one deportee, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was recently moved to another facility after a U.S. Senator's intervention.The episode also covers the recent arrangement between the Trump administration and El Salvador where the U.S. has deported alleged gang members to CECOT, including many with no criminal record. Hawk notes that Trump has expressed desire to send U.S. citizens to this prison despite legal experts saying this would be impossible under U.S. law. The video concludes with observations about El Salvador's improved safety under Bukele's authoritarian approach and the complex trade-offs between security and human rights.

The episode features a conversation between Hawk and Zee Cohen-Sanchez from Nationalgroundgame.com about two special elections in Florida for vacant House seats, with candidates Gay Valamont and Josh Weil running in traditionally Republican districts. Zee, who works with National Ground Game, discusses how these races are unexpectedly competitive, with Democratic candidates out-fundraising their Republican opponents by significant margins. The conversation highlights that early voting results are promising for Democrats, and that issues like veteran benefits, Social Security, and recent controversies involving Trump appointees and Republican text message leaks are resonating with voters in these districts.Zee explains that National Ground Game's approach focuses on "deep canvassing," which involves meaningful conversations with voters about their concerns rather than just asking who they'll vote for. This method has proven effective in flipping traditionally Republican districts in the past. Zee emphasizes that many potential voters in these districts are non-voters rather than Republicans who need to be converted, and that Democratic infrastructure in these areas has been neglected for years. Even if Democrats don't win these races, Zee believes making them competitive is important groundwork for future elections.The conversation concludes with a discussion about how Democrats have failed to effectively organize in primaries and connect online influence to real-world action, unlike Republicans who have built effective pipelines from social media to political engagement. Zee notes that Democrats appear to have more online talent and followers but haven't utilized them effectively to connect with campaigns. The podcast ends with a call to action for listeners to get involved with National Ground Game through phone banking and canvassing to help with the upcoming special elections.Follow Zee on TikTok for up to date information about these important races:https://www.tiktok.com/@zeetothehilltNational Ground Game Website:https://www.nationalgroundgame.com/Start Phone Banking NOW with this link:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D8LH7DC1qvZwkM0fGx0tndAv_qjLujAw9Wkw4rhqCWs/htmlview SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Podcasts On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Podcasts RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

Hawk interviews former NFL player and social justice activist Chris Kluwe. They discuss Kluwe's recent arrest in Huntington Beach while protesting a controversial plaque at the local library, which he argues was designed to promote a far-right agenda. The conversation expands into the broader political climate of the city, highlighting its history with white nationalist movements and how local officials are using their positions to advance personal ambitions rather than serving the community. Kluwe criticizes the city council's attempts at book bans and library privatization, emphasizing the need for community activism to push back against authoritarian policies.The discussion shifts toward national politics, where Kluwe and Hawk examine the rise of the MAGA movement and its parallels to historical fascism. Kluwe argues that MAGA operates on an explicitly anti-democratic platform, using trans rights as a starting point to erode broader civil liberties. They discuss the role of the Republican Party in enabling authoritarianism, the failure of Democratic leadership to push back effectively, and the alarming acceleration of radical policies under the Trump administration. Kluwe stresses the importance of recognizing the ideological shift away from traditional conservatism, calling on Americans to stand against what he sees as a constitutional collapse.In the final segment, they explore the influence of radicalization within gaming communities and online spaces, tracing the roots of today's alt-right pipeline back to movements like Gamergate. Kluwe highlights how young men, struggling with a sense of control in their lives, are being drawn into extremist ideologies through social media algorithms and figures like Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan. He calls for direct intervention in reaching disaffected youth before they fully embrace these toxic narratives. The episode ends with a sobering reflection on the future of American democracy, with both Hawk and Kluwe urging immediate and sustained action to counter rising authoritarianism.Follow Chris Kluwe on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/chriswarcraft.bsky.social SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Podcasts On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Podcasts RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

In this episode of "Hawk Droppings," Hawk interviews Dr. Melanie Matheu, PhD (Laughter in Light on TikTok), an immunologist and scientist, to discuss H5N1 bird flu. Dr. Matheu explains that H5N1 is a highly pathogenic influenza virus that has historically had a 52-56% mortality rate in humans, though this rate could decrease if the virus becomes more widespread. While the virus currently cannot spread between humans, Dr. Matheu warns that it is likely only one mutation away from gaining this ability, which she estimates could happen within the next two years.The conversation explores how H5N1 differs from COVID-19, noting that influenza viruses generally require higher viral loads for infection and spread less easily than coronaviruses. Dr. Matheu discusses existing H5N1 vaccines and their potential effectiveness, explaining that while vaccines exist, the U.S. only has about 4.8 million doses stockpiled. The discussion also covers how prior COVID infections or Long COVID might impact susceptibility to H5N1, with Dr. Matheu explaining that COVID-related immune system dysfunction could make people more vulnerable to future infections.The interview concludes with a broader discussion about the state of scientific communication and trust in the United States. Both host and guest express concern about the spread of medical misinformation and the potential impact of losing platforms like TikTok, which has served as an important channel for scientists to communicate directly with the public. They also discuss their apprehension about how future public health crises might be handled given the current political climate and declining trust in scientific institutions.Dr. Matheu's Substack article on H5N1 - a good companion read for what is discussed in this episode: https://lilscience.substack.com/p/is-h5n1bird-flu-the-next-pandemicDr. Matheu's Social Media Links:Substack: https://lilscience.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melanie_matheu_phd/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@melanie_matheu_phdBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/lilscience.bsky.social Episode Correction: The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) revoked the board certification of Peter McCullough, MD, MPH, a cardiologist who promoted controversial views about COVID-19 (not his license to practice medicine).

This episode discusses the upcoming Supreme Court oral arguments regarding the TikTok ban legislation, scheduled for January 10th, 2025. The legislation, which was rapidly passed through Congress in just eight days, requires ByteDance (TikTok's Chinese parent company) to divest its ownership of TikTok's U.S. operations or face a ban. Hawk analyzed the government's legal brief, which argues that the legislation addresses national security concerns about Chinese government control rather than content regulation, though Hawk notes that the government's brief lacks concrete evidence of actual harm.Hawk expresses skepticism about the government's stated motivations, suggesting that the legislation was influenced by pro-Israel lobbying groups who were concerned about Palestinian content from Gaza being shared on TikTok. He emphasizes that TikTok is used by approximately 170 million Americans (about half the U.S. population) and argues that banning the platform would have significant economic and social consequences for its users.TikTok's legal brief argues that the legislation violates First Amendment protections, pointing out that the law specifically targets one content platform while exempting others with similar foreign connections. Their brief challenges the government's position by highlighting that TikTok is a U.S. company and arguing that the law should be subject to strict scrutiny since it effectively regulates speech and content rather than just foreign conduct. Hawk suggests that TikTok's brief makes stronger legal arguments by focusing on practical First Amendment implications rather than relying on speculative security concerns.

In this December 26, 2024 episode, Hawk analyzes a recent court decision regarding Donald Trump's claims of presidential immunity in his Manhattan criminal case, where he was convicted on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records. The decision, written by Judge Juan Merchan on December 16, 2024, came in response to Trump's motion to dismiss the indictment and vacate the jury's verdict based on a Supreme Court immunity decision from July 1, 2024.Hawk details how Judge Merchan systematically dismantled Trump's immunity claims, explaining that the evidence in question related to unofficial rather than official acts, and therefore wasn't protected by presidential immunity. The judge also concluded that even if some evidence was improperly admitted, it would constitute harmless error given the overwhelming evidence of guilt from other sources, including documentary evidence and testimony from multiple witnesses.Throughout the episode, Hawk praises the thoroughness and readability of Judge Merchan's decision while noting how the judge subtly criticizes the Supreme Court's immunity doctrine. He emphasizes that despite Trump's claims, the judge clearly states in the decision that Trump "stands convicted" of the 34 felony counts, and ultimately denied Trump's motion to dismiss the case.REFERENCE LINKS:12/16/24 Judge Merchan Decision and Order, the subject of the podcast:https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFs/press/PDFs/CPL330.30Dec.pdf7/1/24 Supreme Court Trump immunity decision:https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdfJudge Tanya Chutkan immunity ruling, Jack Smith SC case:https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24180338-12_1-chutkan-rejects-mtd/Judge Engeron final decision in NY AG civil case against Trump:https://www.scribd.com/document/706231478/452564-2022-People-of-the-State-of-v-People-of-the-State-of-Decision-After-Trial-1688#1fullscreen=1 SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

In this episode of Hawk Droppings, Hawk discusses several significant international and domestic events, including the rapid collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, the complex geopolitical implications of this power shift, and the ongoing conflicts involving Iran, Hamas, and Israel.

He discusses Rand Paul's continued attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci and offers a detailed breakdown of a commentary about Hunter Biden's prosecution, ultimately supporting President Biden's decision to pardon his son. Throughout the episode, Hawk maintains a critical and sometimes cynical perspective on global and national political developments.

This podcast episode gives a critical analysis of the current political landscape, focusing on the potential implications of Donald Trump's potential second presidential term and the systematic erosion of democratic institutions. Hawk provides a comprehensive overview of Trump's potential cabinet selections, highlighting concerns about the qualifications and ethical backgrounds of proposed nominees, including individuals facing serious allegations of misconduct.He extensively explores the broader political context, including voter suppression tactics, targeted attempts to disenfranchise minority populations, and the strategic attacks on voting processes in key swing states. Hawk specifically emphasizes how these efforts are fundamentally rooted in racial discrimination, pointing to targeted challenges in cities with significant African-American and Latino populations such as Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Phoenix.This episode also examines emerging tensions within political representation, particularly surrounding issues of identity and inclusion. Hawk critically analyzes the hostile reception of Sarah McBride, the first transgender representative, by Republican colleagues like Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene, positioning this as symptomatic of broader systemic attempts to marginalize and delegitimize diverse political representation. The narrative suggests a deepening political polarization that threatens fundamental democratic principles of representation and equal rights.

In this podcast episode of Hawk Droppings, host Hawk and guest Jordan "The Grey Witch" have a spirited and candid conversation that covers everything from misogyny and social media trolls to the fascinating world of toxic masculinity. Hawk starts off by expressing his admiration for Jordan's “clapback game” against trolls, and Jordan proudly agrees, sharing how every hostile comment she gets online only fuels her powers fending off unwanted attention since she was 14. Hawk laughs, especially when describing her partner as a Viking look-alike—who had no idea how much attention she attracted until he started dating her. Together, they poke fun at these wannabe alpha-males, agreeing they're as real as unicorns.The duo then dives into the rabbit hole of social media's role in brainwashing young men, with Hawk humorously lamenting that algorithms are practically two clicks away from turning teens into Andrew Tate fans. Jordan recalls a memorable moment when she met Joe Rogan, revealing that he's “a short little guy” who has to “climb into his truck like a spider monkey.” As they tackle the troubling right-wing pipeline and the toxicity seeping into male friendships, Hawk reminisces about his liberal mom and the hard lessons she taught him and his brother. Meanwhile, Jordan savors the irony of men who can't stand a strong woman telling them to “swallow a satchel of Richards.”To wrap it up, Hawk brings up the recent political turmoil and how, instead of fixing societal divides, it seems to be driving men and women even further apart. Jordan doesn't hold back, roasting “libertarians who think they're independent but need everyone around them” and white women who voted for Trump, declaring them “the women who let their husbands walk into their daughters' rooms at night.” Hawk, laughing in both shock and agreement, thanks Jordan for her brutal honesty and her wisdom. In short, it's a rowdy episode filled with unapologetic opinions, insightful social commentary, and enough witty banter to fuel a whole army of TikTok reactions.Follow Jordan:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jordanthegreywitchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordandwayne SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

Hawk recorded this episode approximately 36 hours after Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris (who had taken over the Democratic nomination from Joe Biden). Hawk begins by sharing an editorial from Le Monde, which characterizes Trump's reelection as "the end of an American era" and warns of severe global consequences, particularly for European security and democratic institutions worldwide.He discusses various aspects of the election results, including the significant drop in Democratic voter turnout compared to 2020 (13 million fewer voters), Trump's gains in 48 out of 50 states, and the ineffectiveness of Harris's well-run campaign despite knocking on three million doors in swing states. The host covers multiple reactions from political figures and analysts, including Bernie Sanders' criticism of Democrats for abandoning the working class, and concerns about Trump's promises to pursue mass deportations, pardon January 6th rioters, and use the military against political opponents.Throughout the episode, Hawk expresses deep concern about the implications of Trump's victory, citing various indicators of potential authoritarian governance to come. He notes that California's governor Gavin Newsom is already preparing to counter potential Republican actions, and shares worrying quotes from Trump allies about plans for retribution against political opponents. He concludes the episode on an emotional note, expressing exhaustion with the continuous struggle for civil rights and democratic values, while promising to continue his work despite the election outcome.

In this episode of Hawk Droppings, host Hawk interviews Will Westmoreland, a seasoned political consultant with over 30 years of experience in U.S. elections. Westmoreland shares his background, from early campaign roles, including the Clinton-Gore campaign in 1992, to his current consulting work, providing insights into voter outreach, campaign strategy, and how the political landscape has evolved over the decades. With a critical Election Day approaching, Hawk and Westmoreland delve into the mechanics of polling, early voting trends, and the overall anxiety surrounding the political divide in the U.S.Westmoreland explains the intricacies of modern polling, addressing common misunderstandings by outlining how methodologies have adapted, especially since the 2016 and 2020 elections. He highlights the role of early voting and voter demographics, particularly noting the contrast in voting trends before and after COVID-19. A recurring theme is the importance of voter outreach efforts, or "get-out-the-vote" (GOTV) campaigns, which Westmoreland argues are pivotal in swing states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The conversation also covers obstacles posed by state legislation that can delay vote counting, potentially influencing perceptions of Election Day outcomes.In addition to the technical aspects, the episode addresses the political and cultural factors driving voter behavior. Westmoreland and Hawk discuss how candidates' strategies, including appeals to specific demographics, are shaping the race, while also touching on the role of social media platforms like TikTok in voter mobilization. They close with a look at potential outcomes in key states, examining factors that could affect results on Election Day. Their analysis offers listeners both practical and critical perspectives on the 2024 election, providing a nuanced understanding of the factors at play in the current political landscape.Find Will on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@westmoreland_pops SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

In what sounds like history's most congested podcast episode, our sneezing host Hawk delivers the latest on Florida's Senate race, where former Medicare-fraud champion turned Senator Rick Scott is facing off against Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. Apparently, Rick Scott spent $160 million of his own money to win three elections by razor-thin margins, which Hawk suggests might be a sign of mental illness - hey, at least he's creating jobs in the campaign advertising industry!Between sneezes and allergy attacks, Hawk explains how Scott - a man who literally banned the phrase "climate change" from government documents in a state that's basically one hurricane away from becoming Atlantis - is now trailing in polls against Mucarsel-Powell. The highlight of her campaign? A 75-stop bus tour across Florida - one stop for each time Rick Scott pleaded the Fifth Amendment when questioned about that teeny-tiny Medicare fraud situation. Talk about creative campaign messaging!Finally, Hawk manages to explain through his histamine crisis why Trump won't be able to steal the 2024 election, largely because he's no longer in charge of, well, anything. The episode wraps up with a tale of "Peggy Chud" and "Tom Chud" (not their real names, but close enough) in Arizona, who found out the hard way that refusing to certify election results because your candidate lost is, surprisingly, illegal. Who knew? Hawk certainly did.Visit Debbie's campaign website and be sure to donate!!!

Join Hawk and his guest Tennessee Brando as they discuss today's upside down world of politics, where Tennessee Brando sticks out like a blue dot in a sea of red. They swap stories of navigating life in a deep-red state, with Brando humorously recalling how talking politics in a Tennessee bar would have him checking over his shoulder, unlike the carefree political discussions he and Hawk had when he was visiting San Francisco, California. They laugh about how Republicans in Tennessee overreach so hard, you'd think they were stretching to grab the last PBR from the fridge at a frat party.The conversation shifts to "Project 2025," a dystopian plan Republicans have apparently already beta-tested in Tennessee. They discuss the Tennessee Three, political gerrymandering map that resembles a pizza, and Gloria Johnson's uphill battle against Marsha Blackburn in the Senate race. The banter gets even funnier when they dive into Trump's bizarre rallies, where he “dances” on stage for 40 minutes. The duo can't help but imagine how differently the media would react if Kamala Harris decided to hold a dance party at one of her rallies!Towards the end, they talk about how Trump's fanbase might as well sign up for the “Church of the AR-15,” where the preacher waves around a gold-plated rifle and delivers sermons while wearing a bullet crown. Hawk and Brando share a knowing laugh about how some folks are so deep in the Trump cult that they'd vote for a felon over the actual teachings of Jesus. In the words of Hawk, “It's a mad, mad world out there, and election night is just going to be a speed bump for the chaos to come!”Support and Follow Tennessee Brando in the links below:Support Tennessee Brando: https://www.patreon.com/tnbrandoBuy Tennessee Brando Merch: https://www.tennesseebrando.com/Follow Tennessee Brando on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tn_brandoFollow Tennessee Brando on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tn_BrandoFollow Tennessee Brando on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tn_brandoFollow Tennessee Brando on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3ZCMPCiJT6oyX0hyu8Xk8l SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

Alright, folks, buckle up! Today's podcast episode is brought to you by the one, the only, Hawk—who, let's be honest, may need an intervention for his microphone. It's loose again, people. If this podcast had a production budget, that mic would have gone the way of Trump's dietitian—a distant memory! After struggling to find a topic that wasn't dark or depressing, Hawk did the sensible thing: he outsourced his job to the internet. Why spend time planning your show when you can let TikTok and Patreon comments drive your content? The man's living the dream, folks!And what did his highly intellectual audience request? The riveting tale of how Hawk adopted Tanner, a Chihuahua-dachshund who picked him like a desperate kid picking his parents at a divorce hearing. Some woman who looked like she wandered off Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tried to snatch Tanner away, but the dog sprinted into Hawk's lap. That's right—straight-up rejected reality TV for a life of podcasting mediocrity. Enter Lola, another dog from the same shelter because clearly, Hawk's building a rescue dog cinematic universe here.But hold on, Hawk veered into weather reports that make CNN look calm. And, as any responsible adult would, he followed up storm devastation with tales of totaling cars as a teenager. You know, like a public service announcement but with more vehicular damage. Kids, don't fall asleep at the wheel, or worse—you'll end up paddled by your Mormon vice principal. Just trust me, Hawk's high school life was like a bad crossover between Fast & Furious and Fast Times at Ridgemont High… except with fewer cool stunts and more cringe-worthy life lessons.

In this episode Hawk delivers a sobering account of recent events in Springfield, Ohio, involving unfounded allegations against the local Haitian immigrant community. The episode traces the origin and rapid spread of a baseless rumor claiming that Haitian immigrants were kidnapping and eating pets. Hawk meticulously outlines how this false narrative, which began with an unverified Facebook post, was amplified by right-wing media figures and politicians, including Senator JD Vance and former President Donald Trump.The podcast delves into the real-world consequences of this misinformation campaign, detailing how it led to bomb threats against schools, hospitals, and government buildings in Springfield. Hawk expresses deep concern over the overt racism and xenophobia displayed in this incident, highlighting how it has endangered and ostracized a community of LEGAL immigrants who came to Ohio to fill needed jobs. He also criticizes the cynical political motivations behind the spread of these rumors, suggesting they are part of a strategy to instill fear in white voters.Throughout the episode, Hawk reflects on the broader implications of this incident for American politics and society. He discusses the alarming speed at which misinformation can spread in the age of social media, the responsibility of political leaders and media figures, and the ongoing challenges of racism and xenophobia in the United States. The host concludes with a call for listeners to stay informed, check their voter registration, and support candidates who reject such divisive tactics, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election in shaping the country's future.

In this episode of "Hawk Droppings," the host interviews Kyle I, PhD, who is possibly the most adorable human alive. I mean, I dare you to not smile when he does. Go on, just try it. Why can't we all have that impact on one another?Anyway, Kyle has accidentally become the digital campaign manager for every underdog Democrat in America. Kyle, who started with a whopping 165 followers, now spends his days helping state representatives and congressional hopefuls go from obscurity to TikTok stardom faster than you can say "Leave No Dem Behind."Hawk and Kyle dive into the wild world of down-ballot races, where candidates are battling MAGA Republicans, restrictive state laws, and the occasional desert (both information and actual) to get their message out. They discuss everything from tattoo-based fundraising to the awkward possibility of Ron DeSantis having to swear in Florida's first trans state representative. It's like a political circus, but with more TikTok dances and fewer elephants.As they wrap up, Kyle reveals that his TikTok magic has helped candidates raise thousands of dollars and gain tens of thousands of followers. Meanwhile, the host encourages listeners to follow Kyle's account and binge-watch his videos like it's the latest Netflix series, but with more democracy and less chill. Who knew that scrolling through TikTok could make you feel hopeful about politics? It's like finding a unicorn in a sea of doomscrolling.Find Kyle on Social Media here:TikTok: @kyle.i.phdTwitter: @Kyle_I_PhDThreads: @kyle.ireton.phdInstagram: @kyle.ireton.phd SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

Join Hawk and Attorney Di as they dive into the legal chaos surrounding Trump's cases, touching on everything from Judge Chutkan's firm handling of Trump's legal shenanigans to Jack Smith's meticulous approach in making the case "bulletproof." Di couldn't hide her admiration for Judge Chutkan's professionalism, while Hawk marveled at how Jack Smith continues to surprise with his bold legal moves, including the clever use of grand juries to dodge immunity issues. The duo also laughed about the ever-absurd courtroom antics, such as the time Rudy Giuliani literally farted his way into infamy by giving Jenna Ellis COVID during a fake Georgia Senate hearing (allegedly).The conversation pivoted to the chaotic Georgia RICO case led by Fani Willis, where a personal scandal involving Willis and her lead prosecutor threw a wrench in the proceedings. Despite this hiccup, Willis managed to secure guilty pleas from four defendants, including three of Trump's own attorneys, making her the only prosecutor with such victories so far. The roller coaster continued with a lively discussion of the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, where Hawk and Di dissected Judge Eileen Cannon's perplexing decisions and the latest developments in Jack Smith's brilliant appellate strategy.Hawk and Di also tackled the latest DOJ indictments related to Russian disinformation, exposing the fact that right-wing podcasters like Tim Pool and Dave Rubin were secretly funded by Russian cash. Hawk joked about how Tim Pool, who rarely leaves his house without his hat, might now be wondering why his checks aren't coming in. Di speculated that this was just the tip of the iceberg, as there's likely more to be uncovered in the tangled web of foreign influence.The episode wrapped up with Hawk reminiscing about the days when the GOP was the "law and order" party, and the bizarre reversal under Trump, where Republicans are now in bed with Russia and trying to defund the FBI. Di added a humorous twist, joking that perhaps the country's drugs have just gotten stronger. Together, they mused over the surreal political landscape, setting the stage for another wild election cycle.Follow Attorney Di belowTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@attorney_diYouTube: https://youtube.com/@attorney_di SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

Hawk sits down with Texas Trey, a reformed Republican who traded his MAGA hat for a Biden button faster than you can say "covfefe." Trey spills the beans on his journey from religious conservative to lefty liberal, proving that miracles do happen - even in the heart of Texas. Along the way, we learn that growing up in small-town Texas is basically like living in a country song, minus the pickup truck and dog (maybe).Our dynamic duo dives deep into the psyche of Trump supporters, citing their make up of everything from evangelical Christians to that one guy at the party who won't shut up about CrossFit. They ponder why billionaires can't just be happy counting their money on a beach somewhere, instead of trying to control elections and launch themselves into space. Spoiler alert: it's probably because their gold-plated toilets are just too darn comfortable.As the conversation wraps up, Hawk and Trey reminisce about the good old days when politics was boring and the biggest controversy was whether New Coke was actually better than the original. All while realizing that things were better simply because they are both white men. Check your privilege when talking about when things were "easier" because for many things were in fact worse. They conclude that while they may not be able to change the minds of hardcore MAGA fans, they can at least laugh about it - and remind everyone to check their voter registration more often than they check their Instagram likes. Because nothing says "democracy" like obsessively refreshing a government website to see if the Republicans have voided your voter registration simply because you don't vote for them, right?Texas Trey Socials:YouTube: @TheTexasTreyTikTok: tiktok.com/@texastreyX: x.com/thetexastreyAtlantic Article: The Cruelty is the Pointhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/the-cruelty-is-the-point/572104/ SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

Lloyd discusses his background growing up on a farm in rural Kentucky, his struggles with addiction, and his path to recovery. He explains how his father, a union coal miner and local union president, inspired his interest in politics and public service. Lloyd describes the challenges of running as a Democrat in a heavily Republican area, including feeling abandoned by the state Democratic party and having to largely run his campaign himself with help from his wife.He provides insights into the political landscape of Kentucky, noting that while registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in his district, many voters tend to support Republican candidates. He discusses key issues in his campaign, including middle-class financial relief and abortion rights. Lloyd explains that Kentucky currently has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, with no exceptions, despite polling showing majority support for abortion rights. He also touches on the lack of addiction treatment resources in the state.The interview concludes with Lloyd describing his campaign strategy, which includes heavy use of TikTok for fundraising and outreach. He emphasizes the high costs of running even a state-level campaign and the need for financial support to compete against well-funded Republican opponents. The host expresses admiration for Lloyd's efforts and encourages listeners to support his campaign if they are able.

In this episode of "Hawk Droppings," our host Hawk goes on an impassioned rant about the upcoming 2024 election that's hotter than Rudy Giuliani's infamous COVID-spreading fart cloud. Hawk dives into the shenanigans of election denial groups, new voting laws, and Republican efforts to "ensure election integrity" (wink wink) with all the subtlety of a bull in a ballot box shop.Our fearless podcaster takes us on a whirlwind tour of swing states, red states, and blue states, painting a picture so vivid you'd think he was using hair dye that runs down the side of his face. He's particularly fixated on turning Texas bluer than a Smurf eating blueberries, fantasizing about it like it's the political equivalent of winning the Powerball lottery.By the end, Hawk is more fired up than a Fourth of July fireworks display, encouraging listeners to get involved in the election process. Just remember, if you do get arrested while following his advice, don't talk to the police - sage wisdom from a man who clearly knows how to keep things light and breezy when discussing the potential downfall of democracy.

Hawk is not holding back on the MAGA madness! This time, he's tackling a Rolling Stone article about pro-Trump election deniers infiltrating swing state election offices. But don't worry, he's not buying the fear-mongering. He's pretty sure 70 conspiracy-loving Gomer Pyles can't outvote millions of sane Americans. Plus, he reminds us that Trump's not in the White House anymore, so his "find me 11,780 votes" shtick might not fly this time.Our host then dives into the Republican obsession with controlling everyone's lives, wondering why they're so fixated on other people's business. He ponders if they're all just incredibly repressed, noting that Grindr crashed during the Republican convention in Milwaukee. Apparently, these good Christian soldiers love Jesus almost as much as they love...well, you get the idea.Finally, Hawk gushes about Kamala Harris's campaign like a teenager with a new crush. He's practically doing cartwheels over her fundraising numbers and volunteer sign-ups. Meanwhile, he paints Trump as a rambling old man talking about electric boats and Hannibal Lecter. Hawk's so confident in a Harris victory, he's already planning the "I told you so" party. Just don't invite Chuck Schumer - Hawk's not sure what that guy's been doing for the last four years anyway.

In this episode Hawk discusses a significant development in the 2024 U.S. presidential race: Joe Biden's withdrawal from the campaign and his endorsement of Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Hawk expresses enthusiasm for this change, viewing it as a positive shift that will energize the Democratic party and present a strong challenge to Donald Trump. He praises Biden's decision as patriotic and statesmanlike, highlighting Biden's accomplishments during his presidency and long career in public service.He then delves into Kamala Harris's background and qualifications, emphasizing her experience as a prosecutor, district attorney, and California Attorney General. He points out her strong performances in Senate hearings, particularly her questioning of Trump administration officials. The host suggests that Harris's prosecutorial skills and younger age will be significant advantages in the campaign against Trump. He also notes the irony that Trump had previously donated to Harris's campaigns for district attorney.The podcast concludes by discussing the key issues that are likely to dominate the 2024 campaign, including abortion rights, Project 2025 (a conservative policy blueprint), and the aftermath of the 2020 election and January 6th events. Hawk expresses confidence that Harris can effectively challenge Trump on these issues and ultimately win the election. He calls for unity among Democrats and emphasizes the importance of defeating Trump to preserve the democratic process for future elections.

In this episode of "Hawk Droppings," Hawk spends a solid 40 minutes alternating between legal analysis and existential despair over the Supreme Court's latest decision on presidential immunity. Apparently, the justices have decided that presidents can use the Department of Justice as their personal Revenge-O-Matic 3000, as long as they pinky swear it's for "official business." Hawk, clearly thrilled by this development, compares reading Chief Justice John Roberts' opinions to slogging through a swamp of legalese molasses. As if that weren't enough fun, Hawk treats us to a delightful tour of his emotional rollercoaster ride through social media. Picture a theme park where every ride is either "Outrage Mountain" or "Misinformation Log Flume." Our intrepid host, in a moment of satirical brilliance, decides to troll Trump supporters by claiming Joe Biden now has immunity to appoint Hunter as Attorney General. Spoiler alert: the MAGA crowd didn't quite catch the joke. Finally, just when you think Hawk might spontaneously combust from sheer frustration, he pulls a feel-good rabbit out of his hat. Turns out, selling Pride merch for a good cause is the antidote to Supreme Court-induced depression. Who knew? Hawk wraps up by thanking his listeners for buying hoodies and essentially being his long-distance therapists. Remember folks, nothing cures democracy blues quite like a good ol' fashioned fundraiser for an amazing non-profit (kycohio.org)SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK - Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk - Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com - Connect on TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct - Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts   ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO - Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com - Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform: - Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfy - Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuL - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts - iHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdP - Pandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTB - Simplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com - Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

In this episode Hawk, fresh from his COVID-19 adventure, stumbles through the maze of Donald Trump's immunity claims. Picture this: Trump, the former Commander-in-Chief and convicted felon, is essentially arguing for a "Get Out of Jail Free" card that would make even Monopoly players jealous. The Supreme Court, meanwhile, is busy trying to decide if being President is like having a lifetime supply of legal teflon.Hawk takes us on a whirlwind tour of the oral arguments, where justices pondered such pressing questions such as whether a president could order a military coup (you know, just your average Tuesday in the Oval Office). He predicts that while the Court won't give Trump total immunity, they might invent a new game show called "Is It Official or Personal?" for future presidents to play. As for Trump's other cases, it's like a legal version of Whack-A-Mole - knock one down, and another pops up.Finally, Hawk dives into Jack Smith's indictment, which reads like a political thriller with a cast of characters that would make a soap opera blush. Six unnamed co-conspirators? It's like Clue, but with fewer candlesticks and more subpoenas. Hawk wraps up by hoping for a pre-election trial, because nothing says "democracy" like deciding the fate of a presidential candidate between campaign rallies.Oh, and don't forget to buy some Pride merch at hawkmerchstore.com to support the Kaleidoscope Youth Foundation in Columbus, Ohio (kycohio.org) - all profit from the Pride Collection goes to this amazing non-profit for the month of June.Links to Judge Chutkan immunity decision and Jack Smith's J6 IndictmentJudge Chutkan immunity decision attached to this post - sourced from this article:https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149.171.0.pdfJack Smith's January 6th Indictment (also attached):https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

You're gonna need a hot shower with an abrasive loofah sponge after listening to this one. It's another wild ride with Hawk as he continues to delve into the twisted minds of far-right Christian nationalists hellbent on establishing a real-life Gilead (not the land of milk and honey one, rather the one where everyone is evil). First up is Russell Vaught, a "battle-tested bureaucrat" who wants to turn the presidency into an absolute dictatorship if Trump gets re-elected. With his "radical constitutionalism" agenda, Vaught dreams of mass deportations, criminalizing abortion nationwide, and unleashing the military on American soil to crush dissent. What a sweetheart.But wait, there's more! We also meet the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR for short), a creepy men's club that wants to create a patriarchal Christian ethnostate. Their goals include expelling non-Christians, stripping LGBTQ rights, and reviving feudalism à la apartheid South Africa. And it's all run by a shampoo mogul calling himself the "Maximum Leader" from his poetically named "Howdy Doody Good Times Foundation." You can't make this stuff up! First a pillow guy and now a shampoo guy? What's next, the truck nuts guy?In the end, Hawk is left feeling spiritually polluted after diving down this unsettling rabbit hole of white Christian extremism. At least these wackos provide unintentional comic relief amidst their chilling authoritarianism and hate-filled bigotry. It's both hilarious and terrifying how these wealthy radicals are dead serious about their unhinged fantasies of religious ethnic cleansing.

Hawk begins this special episode by celebrating the news that Steve Bannon has been convicted of contempt of Congress and sentenced to four months in prison. Hawk mocks Bannon's legal team and revels in the fact that Bannon's popular right-wing podcast will be off the air during the critical months leading up to the November election. Hawk then launches into a wide-ranging discussion of current events, sarcastically criticizing Republicans like Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Charlie Kirk for their outrage over Bannon's sentence.Hawk goes on to analyze the implications of Donald Trump's guilty verdict in the Manhattan case, speculating that it could impact his ability to travel internationally as a convicted felon. Hawk also gleefully notes that Trump's gun permits may be revoked. He expresses disbelief at some Republicans' nostalgia for the Jim Crow era and condemns the Republican party's recent anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in Colorado.In the final part of the episode, Hawk issues a serious warning that the next five months leading up to the election could see an increase in right-wing political violence from "lone wolf" actors. He acknowledges that "we are heading into an extremely dangerous period of time for this country" and expresses fatigue at "living through shitty history."

In this episode of "Hawk Droppings," Hawk delves into the controversial film "2000 Mules," which purports to provide evidence that the 2020 election was stolen through ballot harvesting. He meticulously debunks the film's claims, revealing its faulty methodology, misleading assertions, and lack of credible evidence. Hawk exposes the film's creators, Dinesh D'Souza and the organization True the Vote, detailing their history of spreading misinformation, engaging in voter suppression tactics, and facing legal consequences for their actions.Hawk also provides a scathing critique of Dinesh D'Souza, the filmmaker behind "2000 Mules." He outlines D'Souza's controversial career, including his time in the Reagan administration, his felony conviction for illegal campaign contributions, and his pardon by Donald Trump. Hawk dissects several of D'Souza's books, highlighting their offensive and inaccurate content, such as defending slave owners and blaming the American left for 9/11. He emphasizes that D'Souza's work, including his documentaries, is primarily driven by financial gain rather than truth.Throughout the episode, Hawk underscores his main point: "It's always about the grift." He argues that figures like D'Souza and organizations like True the Vote exploit the fears and gullibility of the Republican base for financial gain. He cites numerous examples, from the $10 million earned by "2000 Mules" in its first two weeks to True the Vote's failed attempts to raise millions for various causes. Hawk concludes by promoting his merchandise store's Pride collection, with proceeds benefiting the Kaleidoscope Youth Center in Columbus, Ohio (kycohio.org).

This episode revolves around the prosecution's opening argument in Donald Trump's criminal trial and whether or not the prosecution provided enough evidence to prove their case. Hawk reads the entire transcript of the opening statement delivered by prosecutor Matthew Colangelo on behalf of the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Colangelo meticulously lays out the prosecution's case, accusing Trump of orchestrating a criminal conspiracy to influence the 2016 presidential election by concealing damaging information about himself and paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.Hawk asserts that the prosecution not only met but exceeded the commitments made in their opening statement, delivering overwhelming evidence that aligned precisely with Colangelo's outline. He encourages the listeners to reflect on the evidence presented during the trial, emphasizing the prosecution's ability to substantiate every claim made in the opening argument, and expresses confidence in the jury's ability to find Trump guilty of the 34 counts of falsifying business records based on the compelling evidence.

In this episode Hawk discusses the events surrounding the release of the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in October 2016, just weeks before the presidential election. Hawk, details how the tape, which featured Donald Trump making lewd comments about women, was incredibly damaging to his campaign and led many Republicans to withdraw their support or call for him to drop out of the race. In response, Trump's campaign worked with Russian intelligence and WikiLeaks to release hacked emails from the Clinton campaign as a distraction from the tape's fallout.Hawk cites evidence from the Mueller Report and a 2020 Senate Intelligence Committee report, both of which confirmed that the Trump campaign welcomed and encouraged the release of emails stolen by Russian hackers and funneled through WikiLeaks. Roger Stone, a close Trump ally, had advance knowledge of the WikiLeaks releases and coordinated with the campaign to maximize their impact. The host emphasizes that every key member of Trump's campaign knew the emails had been hacked by Russian intelligence and exploited them for political gain.The episode also touches on the ongoing criminal trial against Trump for the hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. Hawk suggests that the campaign's urgency to "catch and kill" the Stormy Daniels story in the aftermath of the Access Hollywood tape was a factor in Trump's decision to pay her off. He criticizes Trump's defense attorney, Todd Blanche, for failing to effectively cross-examine Michael Cohen, a key witness in the trial.

Hawk discusses two major threats to American democracy leading up to the 2024 election. First, he highlights an article detailing the Republican Party's coordinated efforts to restrict voting access and intimidate voters, especially in minority communities. This includes recruiting over 100,000 partisan "poll watchers," challenging voter signatures on mail-in ballots, and seeking to overturn laws prohibiting voter intimidation. Hawk draws parallels to past voter suppression tactics used by Republicans.The second major topic is a concerning interview Donald Trump gave to Time Magazine, where he outlined his agenda for a potential second term as president. This includes detaining and deporting over 11 million undocumented immigrants, allowing states to monitor and prosecute women over abortion, withholding funds from states that don't follow his policies, pardoning all January 6th insurrectionists, leaving NATO, and staffing his administration with loyalists who believe the 2020 election was stolen.Hawk expresses alarm over Trump's openly autocratic ambitions and the organized efforts by right-wing groups to implement his vision from "day one" if elected, including pre-drafting executive orders and training over 50,000 new bureaucrats. He urges listeners to read the full interview, remain informed, and be prepared to have difficult conversations to persuade potential Trump voters given the grave threats to American democracy that a second Trump term would pose.

The Threat to American Democracy In this episode, Hawk expresses anger and frustration over the Supreme Court's handling of Donald Trump's claims for presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. Hawk criticizes the five male conservative justices for their perceived corruption and lack of concern for American democracy. The episode highlights the disappointment in Chief Justice John Roberts and the surprising alignment of the court in favor of Trump. Hawk also discusses the arguments made during the oral arguments and expresses disbelief at the court's decision.

This episode covers the contempt hearing where prosecutors sought to have Donald Trump held in contempt for violating the court's gag order nearly a dozen times. Prosecutor Chris Conroy argued that Trump's social media posts attacking witnesses like Michael Cohen and the jurors posed a threat to the proceedings and intimidated participants. He asked the judge to sanction Trump sufficiently to make him stop violating the order.Trump's defense attorney Todd Blanche countered that Trump did nothing intentional and that his posts constituted protected political speech since he is a presidential candidate. However, Judge Juan Merchon repeatedly pushed back on Blanche's arguments, at one point telling him bluntly "you are losing all credibility with this court." The judge seemed unconvinced by Blanche's claims that Trump's reposts didn't violate the order.After the contentious hearing, Trump complained about the gag order on Truth Social, accusing the judge of violating his free speech rights. The episode then provided context about how last week, moderate Republicans and Democrats in the House joined forces to sideline the Freedom Caucus and pass bills opposed by Trump and his allies. This demonstrated the Freedom Caucus' waning influence under the new Speaker.

In this episode of Hawk Droppings Hawk provides a detailed recap of the first day of Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan. Hawk discusses the various pre-trial motions and evidentiary issues that were addressed, including the exclusion of certain evidence related to Trump's alleged affairs and the Access Hollywood tape.Hawk explains the jury selection process, noting that over 50 of the initial 96 potential jurors were excused after stating they could not be impartial. He highlights Judge Mershon's no-nonsense approach, ordering Trump to be present in court every day or face arrest. Hawk also criticizes a Fox News personality for encouraging Trump supporters to commit perjury and lie to get on the jury, calling it potential jury tampering.Overall, Hawk paints a picture of a chaotic first day, with Trump appearing disheveled and falling asleep at the defense table. He predicts the jury selection process will take at least two weeks, as the judge seeks to find impartial jurors who can fairly evaluate the evidence, which Hawk argues goes beyond just the falsification of business records and into the realm of campaign finance violations and election interference.

Hawk covers the upcoming criminal trial of former President Donald Trump, which is set to begin on Monday April 15, 2024 in Manhattan. Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal during the 2016 presidential campaign.The charges stem from a complex timeline of events involving Trump, his former lawyer Michael Cohen, and the publisher of the National Enquirer, David Pecker. In 2015-2016, Pecker agreed to help Trump's campaign by "catching and killing" any stories about Trump's alleged affairs. Cohen then facilitated the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels and the $150,000 payment to Karen McDougal to prevent them from going public before the 2016 election. After the election, Trump reimbursed Cohen through a series of fraudulent payments disguised as legal fees.Hawk explains the process of how documents and witness testimony will be introduced as evidence in the trial. He also discusses the importance of the jury selection process, as the defense is expected to use both peremptory challenges and challenges for cause to try to stack the jury in Trump's favor. Hawk predicts the jury selection alone could take 2-3 weeks, with the full trial potentially lasting 4-6 weeks.Finally, Hawk notes that given the unique nature of this case involving a former president, the judge has been careful to balance firmness on trial dates with giving the defense ample opportunity to make their case. Hawk plans to provide frequent updates and analysis as the high-profile trial unfolds in the coming months.Click links below to read the Indictment and Statement of Facts:Indictment: https://manhattanda.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Donald-J.-Trump-Indictment.pdfStatement of Facts: https://manhattanda.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2023-04-04-SOF.pdf SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

In part 3 of this series, Hawk continues his deep dive into the ideology of White Christian Nationalism in the United States. He defines it as a political movement that exploits religion for political gain, driven by well-funded elites rather than a grassroots effort. At its core is the belief that America was founded as a Christian nation for white Europeans, and that laws should be based on the Bible to maintain the power and control of straight, white, Christian men over other groups. Hawk highlights how organizations promoting this ideology rewrite history and create alternative "patriot" materials reframing the origins of America through their racist lens.Hawk draws from interviews and books analyzing data and surveys of white Christian nationalist supporters. A striking contrast emerged - white respondents viewed America as a nostalgic return to an authoritarian, segregated past, while Black Christian respondents saw it more aspirationally, as a nation striving to uphold its ideals of equality. Hawk exposes the "holy trinity" underpinning their beliefs of freedom for themselves, order imposed on others, and the embrace of violence through unrestricted gun rights to dominate over minority groups.The ultimate goal, according to Hawk's research, is for white Christian nationalists to control all levers of government after a potential Trump re-election in 2024. This would enable them to remake America as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist society led by straight white men, revoking rights from those deemed insufficiently Christian, non-white, LGBTQ or female. Hawk warns this anti-democratic movement represents an existential threat to American pluralism and freedoms.

In Part 2 on White Christian Nationalism, Hawk delves into the disconnect between its principles and the teachings of Jesus Christ. He discusses the dominance and control mentality prevalent among white Christian nationalists, attributing it to underlying psychological issues such as insecurity, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Hawk explores the Seven Mountain Mandate, a dominionist movement within evangelical Christianity that seeks to control various spheres of society, and criticizes its absurdity and lack of alignment with Christian values.Hawk becomes increasingly incredulous at the actions and beliefs of white Christian nationalists, particularly in their political influence and policy decisions. He highlights the hypocrisy of their actions, pointing out how their policies often contradict the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially regarding issues like poverty, immigration, and compassion for others. Despite quoting biblical passages that advocate for compassion and justice towards foreigners, Hawk laments the disconnect between these teachings and the actions of white Christian nationalists in positions of power.Throughout the episode, he grapples with the absurdity and frustration of white Christian nationalism, questioning its motivations and implications for society. He emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and compassion, urging listeners to reflect on the true teachings of Jesus Christ and to challenge ideologies that promote dominance and discrimination.

In this bonus episode of Hawk Droppings, Hawk discusses the importance of swing states in past and upcoming elections, particularly focusing on Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He emphasizes the significance of these states in determining election outcomes and notes the presence of Democratic leadership in key positions, potentially hindering Trump's efforts to challenge election results, as he attempted to do in 2020. Hawk also delves into the reliability of polling data, citing an article from Daily Kos that critiques the media's reliance on polls and argues that polling methods are flawed and becoming less accurate. He highlights discrepancies between polling data and actual voting behavior, suggesting that Trump's support may be overstated in polls due to various factors, including the inability to reach representative sample groups.Hawk's discussion provides a nuanced perspective on the current political landscape, challenging conventional wisdom about polling data and offering a more optimistic outlook for Democratic prospects in upcoming elections. He encourages listeners to consider alternative sources of information and cautions against over-reliance on polling data to predict election outcomes. Overall, the episode serves as a reminder to critically evaluate polling data and media narratives while highlighting potential trends that may impact future elections.

In the latest episode of Hawk's Droppings, Hawk guides the audience through a peculiar journey into the world of white Christian nationalism. It all started when a curious comment prompted the exploration of this strange concoction, likened to the worst smoothie ever – a blend of Jesus, right-wing politics, racism, sexism, homophobia, and bigotry, with a dash of supremacy for texture. Hawk questions whether believers genuinely embrace these ideas or if it's just a power trip, creating a psychological puzzle to unravel.The narrative rewinds to the '70s and '80s, the birth era of the conservative Christian movement. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't Roe v. Wade but the aftermath of the Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 that ignited this movement, primarily fueled by resistance to desegregation. As overt racism became socially unacceptable, the movement pivoted to abortion as its rallying cry. However, racism persisted, donning a different disguise. Fast-forward to the 2020s, and the perplexing mix of religion and politics leaves observers scratching their heads.Engaging with Jeff Charlotte's book, "The Undertow," Hawk explores the slow civil war between right-wing politics and religion. The evolution of religion into delusion, division into distrust, and hatred into fantasies of violence is meticulously unveiled. This movement continues to evolve, now incorporating nationalism, asserting that the United States is divinely ordained as a white Christian nation. It's a mind-boggling journey, and as Hawk unravels the web, each revelation makes the narrative weirder.Wrapping up part one, Hawk tantalizes with an intriguing tidbit about Jericho marches organized by Christian nationalist groups between the 2020 election and inauguration day. Drawing inspiration from Joshua 1:9, these events blend Old Testament vengeance vibes with eerie realism.
