9:50Now PlayingWhy Hawk Feels Unsure About the Future of U.S. Democracy
Hawk shares an unfiltered late-night reflection on politics, protests, and the challenges facing democracy in America. Speaking candidly, Hawk discusses his experiences at protests in the Bay Area, the limited presence of ICE locally, and the work of organizations like the ACLU that are fighting on the front lines of immigration and detention cases.
Hawk focuses on the uncertainty around the midterm elections, the damage already done by Trump’s policies, and the looming Medicaid and SNAP cuts set to take effect after the midterms. He also highlights the risk of new voting legislation, Trump’s efforts to influence elections, and the deeper problem of voter apathy—with tens of millions of Americans sitting out the 2024 election.
From Trump’s approval rating to the lasting influence of right-wing media, Hawk reflects on the state of the country and his own struggle to find optimism. The conversation touches on protests, government power, the courts, and the importance of long-term engagement to protect democracy.
Hawk’s reflections serve as a sobering reminder of the challenges ahead and the importance of civic participation.
