The Left Hook

Mark Bland the host of the Q has been completely out of touch with why people in the South, a major win point for Trump, voted so blindly.  Always believing if he figured out the reasoning, that he could apply it across the board and get a better picture of how things happened.  Then the makers of SERIAL, the podcast, did a new one called "S-Town".  S-Town was brought to Mark's attention by the we...

James Comey has been fired by Trump and Mark is all hot and bothered by the decision because who will they replace him with?  Brandon Travis and Jason Kull join the show to discuss and focus on the corrupt tendencies of Donald Trump these past 115 days.  But Mark has a bigger message on the plate and we don't think it would go over well nationally.  Saturday Night Live has done a fantastic job wit...

France has made a decision that couldn't come at a better time.  Marie Le Pen, considered the Donald Trump of the election, was sent packing with her tail between her legs after centrist and logical thinker Emanuel Macron won in the hotly contested French election.  This was a dagger to the hearts of hard core Right wing media and supporters who thought after Brexit and Trump, their ship had come...

It's been a few years since the Mike Brown/Ferguson incident and the family claimed that Mike would never rob a store.  But the only evidence that was ever presented was a security tape from the store the morning of the shooting.  It showed Mike manhandling a store owner/employee after he was told he couldn't have some cigarillos.  So everyone assumed, here is this thug that is trying to knock ove...

Trump can't stop himself. He is a detriment to our country and himself at times.  On this episode we break down the NEXT (the guys refuse to say newest because it seems 2-3 things happen NEW each day) big situation with him...Supposedly Obama (former not involved in World politics right now at ALL) wire tapped Trump Towers to spy on Trump during the 2016 election and campaign.  Everyone in the wor...

Well another week and we can't stress enough how outlandish the Trump presidency has become.  Spending more than an entire year worth of travel of the previous president, in one month or fake Swedish security people coming on FOX news to try and bolster the already dismal BS story from years earlier....it's just another day in the Trump Presidency. So as usual Mark and Jason Kull have to discuss t...

We love callers on the Q.  They are what really makes our show special.  But sometimes the callers are special themselves.  On this episode, we focus on the need for someone to put Trump in a checks and balances type situation.  His entire team is going off the rails and making weird and dumb claims that are hurting his brand and Presidency.  First up, we discuss Kellyanne Conway and her need to c...

Matt Krueger is back and what a show to return for. The President Donald Trump has had a busy first week in office and at the end of it he decided to Ban people from 7 specific Middle Eastern countries that have terrorist ties.  But the issue is that he left a few other countries that are also terror based off the list. Why?  Well maybe he has economic ties to those countries, or maybe he doesn't...

Well He's the Preident now and with that starts the reign of Donald Trump.  And right off the bat, Trump sent new White house Press Secretary Sean Spicer out to let the media know, "We don't like you!"  All because the world showed pictures of the small turnout for the inauguration of Trump.  Welp, that's kinda life and reality can be tough to swallow sometimes.
