In this episode Hawk covers the lawsuit filed against Kash Patel, the FBI, Pam Bondi, the DOJ, the Office of the President, and the United States of America. The case was brought by three senior FBI veterans—Brian Driscoll, Steven Jensen, and Spencer Evans—who each served more than two decades in federal law enforcement.Hawk focuses on the allegations that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were central figures in unlawful firings of FBI agents who had worked on politically sensitive cases, including the January 6 investigation and the Mar-a-Lago search. The lawsuit claims these terminations were politically motivated, ordered by figures like Emil Bové and Stephen Miller, and in clear violation of federal law and constitutional protections.The discussion highlights the experiences of agents like Walter Giardina, who was dismissed while caring for his dying wife, and Chris Meyer, who was wrongfully accused of involvement in cases he never touched. Hawk underscores how Patel and Bongino admitted to knowing these actions were unlawful, yet still carried them out under political pressure.This video also examines new reporting from the New York Times, testimony from Kash Patel before Congress, and the broader implications for the FBI, government accountability, and the politicization of law enforcement.Hawk provides detailed context on how these decisions not only undermined careers but also raised serious concerns about democracy, due process, and the independence of federal institutio 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/@hawkeyewhackamole- Connect on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/mdg650hawk.bsky.social- 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

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing current events, starting with the Department of Defense's rebrand to the “Department of War.” I don't like this one bit. We should not be glorifying war, especially when President Trump has always said he would be the president of peace and is even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Why would we agitate our enemies for no reason and slap a shiny label on it as if that's something to celebrate? It's weird and concerning.We'll also be covering the latest on the Epstein list and what's being uncovered.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm answering your questions, including my dating advice and giving my opinion on the government's rebrand of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.” Is this really the direction we should be heading? From relationships to reckless policies, we'll cover it all with a dose of honesty and a little humor, as always. :)--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

On the 80th anniversary of the publication of George Orwell's powerful political satire Animal Farm, we hear about the author's motivations and the power of his storytelling from Professor Jean Seaton, director of the Orwell Foundation. Ukrainian novelist Andrey Kurkov is perhaps most famous for his book Death and the Penguin. He lives and works in a war zone. En route from home in Kyiv to Edinburgh Book Festival, he spoke to Audrey Carville about the risks involved in writing political satire. Orwell Prize winner Sally Hayden (My Fourth Time We Drowned) and EU Prize for Literature winner Jan Carson (The Firestarters) discuss whether their writing is political and how books can change the world.

This week's PR Breakdown isn't about a corporate crisis or a press release gone wrong. It's about satire — and the way it forces a reaction.In the latest season of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have turned their aim on the Trump administration, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and the culture of punditry. It's not subtle. It's not sanitized. And it's definitely not for the thin-skinned.The second episode, “Got a Nut,” skewers both sides of the aisle while delivering a masterclass in what happens when satire hits a nerve. The White House called the show “irrelevant” — a statement that instantly proved the opposite. Noem leaned into the joke publicly, then undercut herself in interviews. And Charlie Kirk tried to be in on the humor while still nursing the sting.Here's what I cover in this episode:Why this season of South Park is landing harder than most political commentaryThe specific targets in Episode 2, and the satirical tactics behind themHow public figures misplay their responses to being parodiedWhy defensiveness is the loudest admission of relevanceThe crisis takeaway: When satire calls you out, your response matters more than the jokeSatire works because it holds up a mirror. In PR, what you do next decides whether people see the reflection as truth or just a caricature.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

From 1995's Stallone spectacle to 2012's Karl Urban reboot, Judge Dredd straddles a bizarre line between political satire and fascist power fantasy. In this episode of The Flick Lab, Karri and Henrik break down the paradox; is Dredd a warning against authoritarianism, or a celebration of it? Even more importantly, what may be the behavioral consequences to our societies? We'll discuss the character's comic book origins, compare the two movies, and explore how a supposed critique of fascism can still end up fueling the very fantasy it condemns. Films covered in this episode: Judge Dredd (1995) Dredd (2012) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme tune performed by Nick Grivell.

In this episode, Hawk discusses Ghislaine Maxwell's convictions, the disturbing details of her trial, and Donald Trump's consideration of granting her a pardon. Hawk focuses on the DOJ's controversial memo stating there is no Epstein client list and that the case will not be further investigated, sparking bipartisan outrage.The episode examines Maxwell's 2021 Manhattan Federal Court trial, where she was found guilty of multiple counts of conspiracy and sex trafficking of minors, some as young as 14. Hawk goes through the testimony of the four victims who came forward, revealing chilling accounts of recruitment, grooming, and abuse carried out by Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein over a decade.Hawk also looks at the unusual prison transfer Maxwell received after meeting with Trump's former defense attorney, Todd Blanch, and the implications of high-level White House meetings discussing her case. The conversation explores the redacted Epstein files, questions about Epstein's death, and how political power and legal maneuvering are shaping the public narrative.This episode highlights the intersection of politics, justice, and the protection of victims, raising questions about government accountability, DOJ independence, and the real motives behind Trump's possible pardon of a convicted child sex trafficker.

Did Obama Commit Treason? Hawk Dismantles Tulsi Gabbard's Claim In this podcast episode, Hawk focuses on the latest controversy involving Tulsi Gabbard's declassified report accusing former President Barack Obama of treason during the 2016 election. The report claims that top Obama officials coordinated efforts to sabotage Donald Trump's campaign—an accusation that Hawk thoroughly challenges using facts already established by bipartisan Senate investigations, the Mueller report, and multiple intelligence community assessments.Hawk discusses how the report misrepresents the facts by focusing narrowly on election infrastructure while ignoring Russia's proven influence operations, including the DNC and Podesta email hacks, fake social media campaigns, and other efforts aimed at boosting Trump and damaging Hillary Clinton. Drawing from official records and long-standing investigations, Hawk highlights how Tulsi Gabbard's conclusions collapse under scrutiny and explains why, even if her claims were true, the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity would still shield Obama from prosecution.Throughout the video, Hawk brings a sharp, informed, and often humorous take on current political events, cutting through misinformation with clarity and confidence. If you're looking for a no-nonsense review of what really happened in 2016—and what didn't—this is the episode to watch.

John Oliver BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.John Oliver remains at the center of sharp-tongued satire and headline-making stunts this week. His most buzzed-about moment came from a high-profile interview circuit following his audacious million-dollar offer to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign, a story that's setting media abuzz and likely to linger in the public consciousness for some time, according to a recent appearance detailed on YouTube. In the same interview, Oliver also dived into the meticulous planning behind that offer, giving viewers a glimpse into the mix of sincerity and mischief that defines his approach. Other memorable tidbits from those interviews include being booed at a Sesame Street gala and donning a full pirate costume at a party—a detail that generated laughs on social media and was apparently a point of contention with his wife. He also reminisced about his parents seeing him on Late Night, underscoring the human side of his relentless public persona.Professionally, Oliver continues to co-headline a popular live residency with Seth Meyers at New York's Beacon Theatre, with shows running monthly through the end of 2025—dates on July 27, September 21, October 26, November 23, and December 14 are all confirmed. According to both MSG.com and Ticketmaster, this residency is proving a hot ticket and positions Oliver as a marquee draw in contemporary comedy, keeping him firmly in the live performance spotlight.Meanwhile, on HBO, his flagship show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver keeps on rolling, with its July 7 episode delivering the usual blend of deep dives and headline commentary. Recent episodes, as noted by outlets like IMDb and JustWatch, continue to feature Oliver's signature in-depth analysis and witty critique, tackling everything from politics to global oddities. These episodes regularly stir up discussion on social media, and although specifics on viral moments from this week are unconfirmed, there is routine online buzz following each broadcast.There are no credible reports of major business ventures or new endorsements in the past few days, nor has Oliver been associated with any controversies beyond his usual satirical targets. The only speculative chatter surrounds whether his Clarence Thomas resignation stunt could have broader legal or political repercussions, but as of now, that remains in the realm of pundit speculation.As always, John Oliver's blend of incisive commentary, headline-grabbing antics, and endearing personal quirks keeps him firmly on the radar, with each appearance and broadcast offering fresh fodder for fans and commentators alike.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

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 the midst of spending reviews, rows of migration and fights about water bosses' bonuses, everyone could do with a laugh. So this week on Westminster Insider, host Sascha O'Sullivan speaks to a coterie of comedians and satirists in SW1 to find out: what's the point of political satire? Legendary co-creator of Yes, Minister Jonathan Lynn explains how a show designed to make people have a laugh at the expense of some pompous civil servants defined how we now see "the blob". Sketch-writers Madeline Grant and John Crace give us a peek into their lives of following every twist and turn of parliament. And former Tory MP Michael Fabricant explains what it's like to be the subject of these sharp penned journalists. Sascha also speaks to Rosie Holt, who shot to comedic fame for mimicking cabinet ministers on the broadcast round in the pandemic. And Andrew Hunter Murray, author, BBC podcaster and Private Eye writer, explains when satire is it's most dangerous for politicians – and powerful for comedians. And Lib Dem leader Ed Davey explains why he tried to use humour and comedy to make people pay attention. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

This week we welcome back our beloved host, Flick Ford! Joined by guests Thomas Caldwell and Cerise Howard.We review Levan Akin's deeply touching film Crossing, about a retired teacher searching for her estranged niece, a trans woman, with the help of a young man as her translator.

In the latter, Steve Coogan plays four roles in the world premiere stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick's comedy masterpiece, often described as the best political satire of the century, about a rogue U.S. General who triggers a nuclear attack.Triple R's April Amnesty is on now!Subscribe and donate to help keep our beloved community radio station on the airwaves for another year!When you support Triple R, you're supporting Really Real Radio – that means no algorithms, no playlists, no nonsense.

Segment 1: Paranormal and Conspiracy Topics The episode opens with lighthearted banter before diving into the latest in paranormal and conspiracy discussions. The hosts explore claims by whistleblowers about advanced alien technology, including holographic wristbands and egg-shaped spacecraft. These revelations spark debate over the credibility of the sources and the likelihood of a "soft disclosure" by governments. The team also discusses the secrecy surrounding classified programs and the media's role in shaping public perceptions of extraterrestrial phenomena. Segment 2: Political and Current Events Moving into political topics, the hosts analyze recent developments in U.S. politics, from controversial presidential amendments to bizarre statements by prominent political figures. The team critiques the media's portrayal of these events and examines the broader implications for public discourse. Discussions also touch on political opportunism and societal attitudes toward government accountability, urging listeners to remain vigilant and question prevailing narratives. Segment 3: Listener Calls, Strange News, and Soup Story In the final segment, the hosts take calls from listeners who share personal experiences, including dreams that blur the line between the subconscious and paranormal. One particularly quirky news highlight is the "soup story," where a legal case involves someone facing trial for hurling a pot of soup in an unusual act of culinary rebellion. This humorous yet baffling tale sparks laughter and speculation about the motivation behind such actions. The segment closes with a mix of strange headlines and audience engagement, leaving listeners with plenty of food for thought.
