Donald Trump Wants Epstein Victims to Testify Under Oath

John Eastman was disbarred by the State of California for his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirchner weighs in on what that means. All six attorneys who helped Trump push his post-election legal schemes, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Chesebro, have faced disbarment or disciplinary action. Pete Hegseth delivered a press corps speech comparing the mainstream media to the Pharisees of the Bible, claiming a surge in military enlistment and defending the Yemen strikes. CNN's Jake Tapper responds. Hegseth's personal history, including allegations of alcohol abuse and a paid NDA settlement following a rape accusation, sit in sharp contrast to his stated religious values. Steve Bannon warns a Washington DC crowd about Sharia law coming to Texas and gets laughed at. California Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove closes out the episode with a message for Donald Trump.

It is ALL MEN

Hawk shares global statistics on intimate partner violence and femicide, noting that roughly 140 women per day are murdered by romantic partners or family members worldwide, and that women face intimate partner homicide at a rate ten times higher than men in the United States. Drawing on three real cases from his early legal career in Mansfield, Ohio, Hawk describes clients who had active restraining orders and still lost their lives. One woman died when her husband filled their home with gas and she unknowingly lit a candle. Another was beaten to death in a parking lot with a tire iron. A third was shot in front of her five children by a husband who borrowed a weapon from a sheriff's deputy who was fully aware of the restraining order and domestic violence charges. The cases raise serious questions about how courts and law enforcement handle firearms in domestic violence situations, how dangerous separation can be for women, and what patterns of male violence against women reveal about systemic failure.

Nobody Likes You JD Vance

Earlier in the evening, Vance told the audience that the Pope needs to be careful when discussing matters of theology, despite having converted to Catholicism relatively recently and having changed his name multiple times. Both Pope Francis and Pope Leo have publicly clashed with Vance over the ethics of war. On the legal front, attorney John Eastman, one of the key architects of efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has been disbarred in California. Fellow Trump allies Jeffrey Clark and Sydney Powell responded with outrage, calling the decision corrupt and politically motivated. CNN forecaster Harry Enten reports that Democrats now hold a 54% chance of retaking the Senate, with key races in Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Maine, and Nebraska shifting in their favor. Democrats have won every special election since Trump's inauguration, with vote swings ranging from 12 to 25 points. RFK Jr. is back in the news as a new book reveals he once stopped on a highway to collect a dead raccoon's genitals for study, keeping his kids waiting in the car, and noting he keeps a freezer stocked with roadkill.

Clear and Present Danger: Discussion with Ret. Major General Randy Manner

The discussion centers on the Strait of Hormuz and its economic impact, including rising costs and the broader consequences of disrupting global oil supply. Hawk and Manner examine how the Iran War differs from past conflicts, why a ground invasion of Iran would be a disaster, and how modern warfare involving drones and asymmetric tactics is changing everything. The conversation also addresses leadership decisions, military readiness, and the long term risks tied to escalating the Iran War. China, Russia, and shifting alliances are part of the bigger picture, with a focus on how economic power and diplomacy are being sidelined. The Strait of Hormuz crisis becomes a key turning point, with implications for global markets and American policy. Hawk brings sharp questions about strategy, accountability, and what victory even means in the Iran War, while Manner provides insight into how military leaders think about risk, escalation, and unintended consequences. The result is a grounded look at the Iran War, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and the future of US involvement.

Eric Swalwell Accused of Drugging and Raping a Woman

The Manhattan District Attorney has already opened a criminal investigation into Swalwell, and California has no statute of limitations on rape allegations dating to 2018, meaning Swalwell faces potential criminal prosecution on both coasts. Ruben Gallego, described as Swalwell's best friend and a 2028 presidential hopeful, held his own press conference claiming he was manipulated and unaware. But Gallego then admitted he had heard rumors about Swalwell circulating in Washington DC for many years, and that he had asked Swalwell directly about the allegations. Gallego says he will only release his text message communications with Swalwell within the context of a legal proceeding, not in response to public pressure. The House Ethics Committee investigation into Swalwell is closed because he resigned from Congress. Multiple reports indicate Democratic House leadership knew not to allow young staffers near Swalwell. Swalwell has apologized to family, friends, and colleagues but has issued no apology to any of his accusers.
