44:58Now PlayingHawk dives into a wild and darkly comedic tale about two very intense neighbors—Ashley Babbitt's mother, Mickey, and Guy Reffitt’s wife—who moved into his liberal Washington, DC, neighborhood. These women have embraced their roles as leaders in the fight for "justice" for the January 6th insurrectionists, proudly plastering their house with slogans like "Justice for J6" and calling their home the "Eagles Nest" (with a hilariously ill-fated disclaimer that it has nothing to do with Hitler). Hawk finds the absurdity in how these women, wrapped up in the MAGA world, insist they're part of a righteous cause while defending actions that landed hundreds of people in prison.
Hawk reflects on how delusional Trump's supporters have become, recounting hilarious moments like the insurrectionists live-streaming their crimes and proudly boasting about their patriotism, all while being oblivious to the fact that they were documenting their own downfall. He even recalls a TikTok live with a particularly confident Trump supporter who was astonishingly wrong about everything but utterly convinced of his own brilliance—a walking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect. This surreal situation has Hawk imagining what it’s like living next to these people, with every dog walk turning into an encounter with conspiracy theory enthusiasts.
Despite the humor, Hawk can't ignore the tragic consequences for those who believed Trump’s lies. He shares the sobering stories of families torn apart, like Guy Reffitt’s son turning him in to the FBI, and how Ashley Babbitt's mother, in a bizarre twist, ended up leading protests in DC as a means of coping with her daughter’s death. In the end, Hawk emphasizes that while it’s easy to laugh at the absurdity, the damage done is real, as these people remain in society, still clutching to their misguided beliefs.
