17:42Now PlayingHawk runs through the headlines on a packed Tuesday news cycle, skipping the noise of the State of the Union address to cover the stories that actually matter. Republican Representative Tony Gonzalez is under fire from members of his own party after reports of an extramarital affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. With the House GOP holding the slimmest possible majority at 218 seats, calls for his resignation are complicated by raw political math, and Speaker Mike Johnson is being called out for feckless leadership in his handling of the entire situation.
Hawk covers Dan Pfeiffer's Substack take on Trump's tariffs being struck down by the Supreme Court, including justices Trump himself appointed, as an illegal overreach of executive power under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Trump took money from American businesses and consumers and has no intention of returning it.
A new Veracite poll shows Trump has hit record lows across every tracked metric, including border security, with Democrats opening a 10-point lead on the generic congressional ballot. The State of the Union speech, Hawk argues, will do nothing to move those numbers, pointing to Jonathan Bernstein's analysis that these speeches have never meaningfully shifted public opinion, not even for far better communicators like Reagan, Clinton, or Obama.
Also covered: Gavin Newsom drawing criticism over a racially tone-deaf comment, Jeanine Pirro shelving criminal indictment pursuits against Democratic lawmakers, Bob Kerrey resigning from a board over Jeffrey Epstein ties, a GOP Secretary of State candidate called a snake and evil by her own sister, and surging Democratic early voting in Texas.
