32:48Now PlayingHawk discusses the alarming increase in conspiracy theories and detachment from reality among Trump supporters. He cites an article by Charlie Warzel that highlights the depravity and nihilism of recent events, including outlandish theories about weather control and harassment of FEMA workers during hurricane responses. He expresses concern over the persistence of these beliefs despite overwhelming factual evidence to the contrary, noting that misinformation is now being used to reinforce existing beliefs rather than sway opinions.
Hawk then turns to current political polling, emphasizing that most swing state and nationwide polls for the presidential race are too close to call, falling within the margin of error. He notes that Trump is polling better now than at similar points in 2016 and 2020, despite ramping up violent and bigoted rhetoric. He strongly asserts that voting for Trump in 2024 equates to endorsing racism, misogyny, and other forms of bigotry, given Trump's explicit campaign platform. He also mentions various political developments, including Chris Christie's warnings about Trump's mental decline and Kamala Harris's pledge for a bipartisan advisory council.
Lastly, the episode focuses on Steve Bannon, detailing his legal troubles and impending trial in Manhattan for fraud related to a border wall fundraising scheme. Hawk discusses Bannon's worldview, particularly his desire to disrupt the current global order and his influence on events like Brexit. While acknowledging that some of Bannon's criticisms of the global financial system may have merit, the host emphasizes Bannon's dangerous intelligence and expresses relief that he will likely be imprisoned during a potential second Trump administration. The episode concludes with Hawk looking forward to upcoming podcast interviews and urging listeners to take care of their mental health.
