Hawk runs through a full Tuesday of news. The headline is a report that Russia has been helping Iran target American military facilities and personnel, relevant because four US service members were killed a little over a week ago. Asked about it, Donald Trump said he does not think it is happening and that he will ask Vladimir Putin directly, prompting former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul to weigh in on a pattern Hawk traces back to Helsinki in 2018.
On the campaign trail, Hawk covers the Michigan Democratic Senate primary debate, where a Detroit Fox affiliate's instant poll had 95 percent of viewers saying Dr. Abdul El-Sayed beat Representative Haley Stevens, who was pressed repeatedly on the roughly 46 million dollars in AIPAC-affiliated spending backing her.
He also digs into the growing questions about Mitch McConnell, unseen publicly for about six weeks, whose office has released two photos but no video or audio. Hawk lays out the August 4th Kentucky special-election deadline and argues a still image is not proof of a senator's capacity to serve. Rounding out the day: a preview of Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony before Rand Paul, a Fox segment on the Democratic Socialists, and retired Major General Randy Manner questioning whether Pete Hegseth can survive.
