32:20Now PlayingIn this emotionally charged episode of Hawk After Dark, the host is grappling with the recent election results and Jack Smith's decision to file motions to dismiss federal indictments against Donald Trump. Hawk is struck with a profound sense of disillusionment, describing how the United States seems to have abandoned its principle of being "a nation of laws" as Trump appears to escape accountability for 91 felony charges across four jurisdictions.
With a mix of frustration and dark humor, Hawk breaks down the slim Republican majority in the House and Senate, pointing out the potential dysfunction ahead. He shares his deep concern for marginalized communities - his LGBTQ, trans, Black, and Brown friends, as well as women and girls - who he fears will be most impacted by potential policy changes. The host is struggling to find a meaningful way to resist and is seeking input from his most loyal subscribers about the future direction of the Hawk After Dark podcast.
In a somewhat sardonic tone, Hawk acknowledges the potential "silver linings" like the narrow electoral margins and the possibility of Democrats potentially regaining House control by July if voters show up for special elections. He ends the episode with a blend of vulnerability and gallows humor, asking his audience for guidance on how to proceed with the podcast during what he perceives as a challenging political era, and offering a lighthearted suggestion for dealing with MAGA relatives during Thanksgiving.
