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.

Hawk Droppings - White Christian Nationalism - Part 1
play

03/11/24 • 47 min

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. Amidst this, Hawk hints at a new documentary by Rob Reiner called "God in Country," focusing on white Christian nationalism, promising a deeper dive in part two. Stay tuned for the continuation of this exploration into the strange world of white Christian nationalism.

Hawk Droppings - 2,000 Mules for 74 Million Fools
play

06/04/24 • 44 min

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). KYC is a non-profit that supports LGBTQIA+ youth in the red state of Ohio.

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."

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.

Hawk Droppings - Russian Intelligence & The Access Hollywood Tape
play

05/16/24 • 42 min

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 Droppings - Trump's Supreme Court Immunity Decision
play

06/27/24 • 37 min

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.

Tennessee Brando

Hawk Droppings

play

10/17/24 • 50 min

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!”
