On this episode of *The Left Hook with Mark Bland*, airing Saturdays at 9:00 AM CST on WIBHradio.com and CBS affiliates, host Mark Bland and guest Jason Kull dive into political controversies and pop culture. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 55% of Americans, including 29% of Republicans, believe Trump is using federal law enforcement to target enemies like James Comey and Letitia James, fueling concerns about political division, with 67% worried about conflict and 61% viewing redistricting as harmful to democracy. Bland and Kull criticize Trump's "retribution tour," noting his inflammatory rhetoric and GOP's tolerance of Nazi symbols and white nationalist support, despite their anti-Democrat stance. They question Trump's incoherent "Gulf of America" remarks and his fixation on a lavish White House ballroom over healthcare. The episode shifts gears with a fun Tournament of Pop Culture, pitting classic sports video games like *Tecmo Super Bowl*, *NBA Jam*, and *Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!* against each other. After heated debates, *Tecmo Super Bowl* emerges as the greatest sports video game. Find Bland on markbland.net and Kull at @FeatherBangs on Twitter. Share with a friend or Family!
