4:12Now PlayingGrandpa Touchy and the Authoritarian Slide
In this sharp and darkly humorous episode, Hawk discusses a dizzying week of political chaos and creeping authoritarianism in the U.S. Hawk opens with the fallout in Washington D.C. after “Big Balls from Doge” dismantled USAD, a move projected to endanger millions. Meanwhile, Donald Trump—now in full strongman mode—decided to take a rooftop walk at the White House, then floated the idea of putting nuclear missiles directly on the roof, showcasing a complete ignorance of basic physics and military logistics.
Hawk focuses on the escalating standoff in Texas, where Democratic lawmakers have fled the state to block a controversial redistricting vote that would disenfranchise Black and brown voters. Trump’s response? Calling for FBI involvement, despite no federal crimes having been committed. Governor Abbott signed civil arrest warrants, but Hawk highlights the jurisdictional absurdity and dangerous implications of federal overreach.
As Hawk critiques the growing signs of dictatorship, he pulls no punches in calling out figures like Stephen Miller and the administration’s push for aggressive ICE arrests, despite falling numbers. The authoritarianism isn’t looming—it’s here, and incompetence may be the only thing slowing it down.
With his signature wit and political insight, Hawk brings clarity to the madness and reminds viewers why he's preparing for life in the mountains.
