On this episode of The Left Hook with Mark Bland, airing Saturdays at 9:00 AM CST on CBS affiliates and WIBHradio.com, host Mark Bland tackles pressing issues from St. Louis. He dives into a Mother Jones exposé revealing racist texts from young Republican leaders, aged 24-35, including slurs and violent rhetoric like gas chamber threats. Vice President J.D. Vance dismissed these as "edgy jokes" on Charlie Kirk's show, drawing criticism for GOP hypocrisy. Bland calls this "Hitlergate," highlighting the party's failure to condemn such rhetoric, tying it to broader Republican embrace of divisive ideologies, including Nazi references and Civil War statue defenses. He questions their logic, noting the contradiction in celebrating historical Democrats while decrying socialism. Bland also critiques Trump's incoherent "reverse bathtub" remarks and a Middle East peace deal with Israel and Hamas, suspecting ulterior motives with Netanyahu. He addresses Joe Rogan's disappointment with Trump's deportation policies, accusing Rogan of enabling hate. The show closes with a lighter note, listing top Halloween candies like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (67% chance) and Sour Patch Kids (55%), per Action Network's data.
