The Left Hook

the Left Hook - 14 - Illegal


Listen Later

In the latest firestorm episode of The Left Hook, Mark Bland and Jason Kull tore into Trump's second-term meltdown with zero apologies. Top of the list: the long-promised Epstein files. After months of stalling and letting Kash Patel twist in the wind, Trump finally signed a 30-day release order—everyone expects a comically redacted black-bar disaster because his name is all over the existing docs and the dismissed 2016 lawsuit alleging he raped a 13-year-old still haunts the files. On Air Force One, Trump pointed at a female reporter and snarled "Quiet, piggy," with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt (who was 15 when her 60-year-old husband was 47) defending it as "frankness Americans love." A coalition of Democratic lawmakers and veterans dropped a viral video telling troops and intel officers to refuse illegal orders—cue MAGA screaming "sedition" and "death penalty" from the same crowd that pardoned January 6 insurrectionists. The Coast Guard quietly declared the OK hand gesture no longer a hate symbol, and Grok spent the week bending over backwards to call Trump's misogyny "playful" until xAI had to admit they tweaked the AI. From top to bottom, every accusation is a confession, and the mask isn't just off—it's been shredded, burned, and scattered over Mar-a-Lago's lawn.
