ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The Premier episode of the new moderate/liberal show called Mark Bland's The Left Hook! On this first episode of the show, funny man and actor Jonathan May stops through to talk some politics and life. First up Trump is having tons of meetings with world leaders and none seem to come off well. Putin tells Trump they can meet in Alaska where the world finds out that Trump is a super Putin fan and Putin couldn't care any less about the USA and Trump. After the failed meeting Trump walked away with no concessions and no hope. Then he trounced to Washington DC to meet with world leaders and Zalensky regarding the Ukraine war. Trump had nothing to offer and made a laughing stock of his own meetings. All in all the USA walked away from this with less than they started with. And now Putin knows that Trump is his puppet. All this and more on the first episode of The Left hook.
