24:13Now PlayingTrump's approval rating has hit historic lows, dropping from 45% approved a year ago to just 39% today, with a staggering negative 47 points underwater among independents. Hawk reacts live to Trump's address to Congress, calling out the lies, the political theater, and the stunning disconnect between what Trump claims and what is actually happening in America.
Trump's immigration numbers have collapsed, down 20 points in a single year, and his economic approval has doubled in the negative. Yet the speech pushed forward familiar falsehoods about gas prices, prescription drug costs, murder rates, and voter ID laws. Hawk takes apart each claim in real time, pointing to what the data actually shows.
The Lake and Riley Act comes under scrutiny as Hawk argues that Republican outrage over violent crime is selective, applied only when the perpetrator fits a specific profile, while the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, whose abusers were powerful white men, remain without any federal legislation in their name. Trump's deep ties to Epstein go unaddressed by a Democratic leadership Hawk describes as entirely captured by AIPAC and unwilling to fight.
Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are noted as rare exceptions in a Democratic Party with approval ratings in the low 20s. The deployment of National Guard troops to Washington DC, ruled illegal by a federal judge, is raised in the context of a soldier's death that Hawk argues falls directly on Trump.
Charlie Kirk's death, Melania Trump, the gender transition story used as political theater, and the overall spectacle of a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist addressing Congress round out a sharp and unfiltered live reaction.
