The Left Hook - Movin' On

In this episode of Left Hook with Mark Bland, host Mark Bland tackles a range of provocative topics solo, marking his first time without a co-host in over a decade. Broadcasting on CBS affiliates like KRLL and WIBH, and online at markbland.net, Bland dives into the controversial Charlie Kirk memorial in Glendale, Arizona, where 90,000 MAGA attendees left behind mountains of trash, drawing criticism for its disorganized and disrespectful aftermath. Bland critiques the event’s bizarre tone, likening it to a Christian nationalist rally, with Donald Trump’s appearance and odd behavior, including a theatrical hug, adding to the spectacle. He also discusses Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension by ABC, influenced by Trump’s pressure, highlighting tensions over free speech. Bland reflects on Trump’s chaotic UN speech, where he insulted global leaders, contradicted his own policies, and embarrassed the U.S. on the world stage. The episode wraps with lighthearted “life hacks” like using frozen towels or Cheez-Its in soup. Bland’s sharp commentary blends politics and pop culture, urging listeners to engage critically.
