Nation of Jake

Our final show... OF THE YEAR! In local news, the biggest story is the official announcement of Marie Feagins running for Shelby County Mayor. We discuss if she, as a democrat, will have enough crossover votes from Republicans and surprise everyone to become Madame Mayor, and why she might have a real shot. Also on the show: President Trump announces the Patriot Games for July 4th, Gov. Bill Lee pardons Jelly Roll, syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins to talk about Trump's plaques on the Wall of Fame, and WVNN host Dale Jackson hangs for a while too. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Presidential address to the nation is scheduled for Wednesday night, and the speculations, rumors, and buzz indicated that Trump will announce war against Venezuela. This follows weeks of drug boat strikes, Maduro dancing for peace, and Trump accusing them of stealing U.S. oil. Also on the show: Memphis City Council finally approved the 2% pay increase to the Memphis Fire Department, Nick Reiner was reportedly wearing a suicide vest in his first court appearance, and we pay homage to Buck Rogers himself, Gil Gerard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two weeks after the Memphis City Council rejected MFD's two percent pay increase, the council will gather to discuss it again. Normally, that wouldn't be major news. HOWEVER, this is also two weeks after Yolanda Cooper-Sutton said MFD has been "raping the city". Also on the show: Rob Reiner's son Nick Reiner has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, actor James Woods speaks on those berating Reiner for political beliefs, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia Tuesday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the weekend, there was a mass shooting both in Rhode Island and Australia, legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife were found murdered in their home and the prime suspect is their son, and Donald Trump made himself look horrible with one post. We break it all down. Also on the show: Erika Kirk is putting herself on front street by taking on a CBS town hall addressing her husband's assassination just months after it happened, Liberty Park is not really a development, and we list off things that people over 45 are too old to do. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It used to be Man Of The Year, then TIME changed it to Person. In 2025, it's not even that as the "Person Of The Year" is AI Architects. We think it's a cop out because it probably belonged to Donald Trump again, if we're being honest. Today's QOTW: Who should have won it, NOT NAMED Trump? Also on the show: ATL Falcons running back Bijan Robinson issued an apology for referencing a game we all grew up playing in the backyard, WVNN's Dale Jackson joins the show to talk about electric vehicles, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart also weighed in on the TIME "Person Of the Year". See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Not enough honkies in the clank!" That basically sums up Mayor Lee Harris' latest insinuation that the Memphis Safe Task Force has a racist agenda for not arresting enough white people and instead arresting mainly minorities, in a minority-majority city. We break down his full statement and Memphians' reaction to them. Also on the show: Mama Kamala Harris is coming to the Bluff City next month, Memphis Tigers introduced new head coach Charles Huff, Wanda Halbert is on yet another "Wanda Watch", and Jake has a conversation with Rep. David Kustoff over the latest political buzz word: affordability. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Best believe if Jake berated an officer and called him a white supremacist racist and a SOB, all released on camera, consequences would follow. For elected officials, like Tami Sawyer, her outburst from back in the fall will result in no criminal charges. Okay fine, but if it were anyone else, they would at least get fired. Why not Tami? Also on the show: we discuss the decreasing gas prices across the country, the war on Christmas and why Santa was assualted in Tennessee, the worst rapper ever performing for Jasmine Crockett's Senate campaign, and two rounds of Impossible Memphis Trivia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clogged toilets, bug infestation, and pepper spray abuse are just a few of the things revealed to the Daily Memphian regarding the conditions at 201 Poplar. County Mayor Lee Harris has been vocal about not wanting the jails ran by Sherriff Floyd Bonner, and Bonner wants a new jail to be built. Should we feel bad for the conditions for criminals and pay for a new facility, or should we look the other way cause "they had it coming"? Also on the show: Charles Huff is the new head coach of Memphis Tiger football, Notre Dame is picking up their ball and going home after not being selected for the College Football Playoffs, and Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate with an interesting first campaign video. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Witch hunt after witch hunt, it was always ridiculous how many reasons Democrats would conjure to impeach President Trump. While being awarded the first ever FIFA Peace Prize (yes, it's a real thing), Trump made a comment that even Republicans can't defend. We break down what he said, and if it's the beginning of his end. Also on the show: WVNN host Dale Jackson joins the show to discuss the January 6 pipe bomber's political affiliations, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey panders to the point where he pretends to enjoy Somali food, and Netflix wins the bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery properties. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The View has met their match. Stephen A. Smith is notorious for his strong opinions, and we should give credit where credit is due; he doesn't back down. Sunny Hostin called for Smith to apologize for bashing Sen. Mark Kelly for telling troops to disobey direct orders, and Smith wasn't having it. We react to the clips and break it all down. Also on the show, Yolanda Cooper-Sutton has caught a lot of heat for claiming the MFD is "raping" the city and issues a lame response, Robocop has a statue in Detroit, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins to talk about the Venezuela drug boat strikes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a general rule: you should never disgrace the fire department, they are always the good guys. That goes DOUBLE if you are a local politician, but Councilwoman Yolanda Cooper-Sutton must have slept through that lesson. She said MFD is "raping" the city, and only "taking", and Jake unleashes. Also on the show: President Trump doubles down on his strong statements against Rep. Ilhan Omar and the entire country of Somalia, legendary Stax guitarist Steve Cropper passes away as we honor his legacy, and a drunk raccoon ravages a Virginia liquor store. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the R-word yesterday, to the B-word today. Gov. Tim Walz got the Trump insult missile and it switched to Rep. Ilhan Omar today when Trump called her and her friends "garbage" and "all they do is bitch". We break it all down. Speaking of missiles: Pete Hegseth comments on the drug boat strikes off Venezuela that some are calling war crimes. Also on the show: Odell Beckham Jr. argues, unsuccessfully, that it's impossible to build generational wealth on a $100M contract, Towanna Murphy has an unforgettable interview after getting served a restraining order, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump's insult hitlist has been aiming at Gov. Tim Walz as of late. He caught plenty of Trump's insult missiles during last year's campaign trials and now the news is going crazy over the President calling him a retard. Did you think Trump would apologize for using that term? He's doubling down, and we break down why he called him that. Also on the show: Coach Ryan Silverfield is now Arkansas' head coach and we join the search for Memphis' new coach, Lane Kiffin has his John Calipari moment by ditching Ole Miss for LSU, Cyber Monday has some hot deals and some not deals, and our breakdown of Stranger Things Season 5. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're talkin turkey this Turkey Day, starting with, why do we eat turkeys in the first place?! The "Seditious Six" are stealing the spotlight, in the wake of the tragic National Guard shooting in DC. Ron Hart joins the program to talk turkey about politics and the holidays. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

POTUS pardons some turkeys, all while throwing some slick shade! WHO is throwing their hat in the Texas congressional ring?! Ice T has a career reckoning, has there been anyone who's capitalized on more despite having less talent than him?! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Memphis Safe Task Force is affecting the DA's Office. The city could take a lesson from "Jaws." Attorney General Pam Bondi is in town. You could do a drinking game with how many times she said "Thank you!" Double check your dead when you're in Thailand! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump's worst nightmare, NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, took a trip to the Oval Office to meet with the President for the first time since winning. As expected, there were lots of hilarious clips given the harsh words Mamdani used in his campaign trail. Trump looked like he was having fun, Zohran... not so much. Also on the show: Rep. Eric Swalwell officially announced he is running for California Governor, Jake gives a rare Netflix recommendation to check out during the holiday week, and we talk to WVNN host Dale Jackson about the latest on the Epstein files that namedrop Trump. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Only one hour today on the Nation of Jake, as Memphis battles no.1 Purdue in the Baha Mar Championship. We are joined by Jeff Brightwell to break down the game, syndicated columnist Ron Hart to talk about the latest political headlines including the Epstein files, and the latest Memphis Safe Task Force statistics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Great Scott! Online documents indicate that Marie Feagins, the former superintendent of Memphis Shelby County Schools, is preparing to run for mayor of Shelby County. Sounds familiar because over a month ago, Jake's trusted sources revealed that very same thing to him on our airwaves. Also on the show: Jasmine Crockett was called out for calling out Republicans who took donations from Jeffrey Epstein, but she got the wrong Jeffrey Epstein. We also give you the latest Memphis Safe Task Force data, and our listeners weigh in on if they would vote for Dr. Feagins. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One step closer! The Senate moved swiftly to approve legislation Tuesday forcing the Justice Department to release the Epstein files— acting hours after the nearly-unanimous House vote to send the bill to the desk of President Donald Trump, who spent months trying to kill it. Also on the show: A Tennessee chancellor temporarily blocked Gov. Bill Lee from continuing to deploy the National Guard in Memphis, Marjorie Taylor-Greene calls Trump a traitor for not honoring her free loyalty to him, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Memphis Area Transit Authority's Zero Fare Pilot Program was introduced by Mayor Paul Young and members of the City Council. Travelers can use any of MATA's services for free as part of the 90-day initiative. But the question is WHY? And the answers from our city leaders are expectedly lackluster. Also on the show: We break down a deadly shooting at the Wolfchase Mall, adding on to the decline of a once-popular hangout spot. President Trump confirmed he would sign bill to release the Epstein files if Congress passes it, and Jake breaks down his do-able SNAP menu. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Newby's on the Highland Strip is closing, and Jake shares all of his favorite memories from the time he was a kid trying to get into adult concerts, to when he was older and opening for Papa Roach with his band. We break down why Newby's is closing after 50 years, and how everyone else feels about it. Also on the show: Trump Derangement Syndrome is not diagnoseable, but we listen to a psychotherapist that reveals 75% of his patients absolutely suffer from it. We give you the latest Memphis Safe Task Force updates and we do a little week review with WVNN host Dale Jackson! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hitler is still popular, even 80 years after his death. People still compare politicians to him, make documentaries, and do impressions. A REAL headline this morning: Hitler's DNA Reveals Nazi Leader Likely Had Syndrome That Can Affect Genitals. We aren't sure why we needed to know that, but we break down the entire research. Also on the show: TSA workers are getting $10,000 bonuses personally by Kristi Noem for working through the shutdown, Trump threatened a billion-dollar lawsuit against BBC for a doctored January 6 clip, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins the show to talk about the Epstein/Trump emails. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three emails mentioning President Trump were made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This is either damning news if you hate Trump, or a nothing-burger if you support him. We break down the story, but why hasn't the full list been released yet? Also on the show: Rep. David Kustoff joins the show ahead of tonight's House vote to officially end the shutdown, the last penny was minted after 238 years, a high school teacher in Maine breaks a world record for 3-pointers, and Jasmine Crockett gets her sneakers kissed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Originally Armistice Day, today we celebrate those who are serving, and have served in our armed forces. For this 11/11 Day, we shoutout veterans in the Nation of Jake as well as our listener's submissions of their loved ones who have served as well. We give you a little history breakdown of the holiday and corresponding stories. Also on the show: John Fetterman was in enemy territory in his appearance on The View as Sunny "Hostile" Hostin lectures him on voting to reopen the government, President Trump is refusing US visas to "high calorie humans", and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the weekend, the U.S. Senate advanced a bill to reopen the federal government and put an end to the 40-day shutdown that has disrupted air travel, delayed SNAP benefits, and sidelined government workers. Jake also recaps his trip to Berlin, Germany and his new Austrian friend that sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also on the show: Trump confirms he will be sending each low-income to middle-income American a $2000 tariff dividend check and we break down if that's a good idea or not, your daily Memphis Safe Task Force update, and the best end of the world songs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York's worst-case scenario has become reality; they just don't know it yet. We break down Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral victory, including reactions from his supporters, Trump's response, and Jake's take on why his win could have a silver lining in the grand scheme of things. Also on the show: This is the last show of the week as Jake travels to Germany tomorrow and we come up with travel tips, syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins the show to weigh in on the government shutdown and Zohran's win, and Tom Brady's cloned dog.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is on a revenge tour, and The View was more than happy to let her air out her grievances. According to AOC's "tea", she confirmed Jake's suspicions on why MTG has gone rogue against the GOP. What we didn't expect was how welcoming The View was to her, and react to it all. Also on the show: only ONE monkey left! After the Mississippi mom shot and killed one, another was found dead which leaves just one missing lab monkey left. We also talk about the NYC elections, among other elections today, and the reveal of People Magazine's 2025 Sexiest Man Alive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One down, two to go. A Mississippi mom shot and killed one of the missing, diseased monkeys that escaped from an overturned truck last week. After being alerted about a monkey in her yard by her son, she grabbed her gun and took care of business like any protective mother. Also on the show: we discuss some of the worst Halloween costumes we saw this year including a child as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we break down the heavily edited 60 Minutes interview with President Trump, and your daily Memphis Safe Task Force update. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We hope your porch lights are on this spooky season, they better be! We get into the top costumes that will be around the most in 2025, the best times to go AND STOP trick-or-treating, a little scary movie talk, and an update on the hunt for the missing rhesus monkeys in Mississippi!

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bill Gates has been warning about a climate catastrophe for decades, but his tone recently changed when the multibillionaire advised against accepting a "doomsday view" of the planet's destiny. If his actions didn't already contradict his previous stance, at least now his words confirm it. Also on the show: SNAP benefits are in jeopardy and being used as a talking point against President Trump, a plot to pit JD Vance and Marco Rubio in 2028 is in the works, and an update on the Mississippi monkey outbreak. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the government shutdown entered day 28, Democratic politicians from 25 states filed a lawsuit to prevent the White House from ending Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. Mainstream media is making it out to be both sides' fault, but that's not how we see it. Also on the show: we have a protein shake thief at the radio ranch! We take suggestions on appropriate punishments, as well as our own that may be considered overkill. We also react to Gavin Newsome being salty for not being welcome on Joe Rogan's podcast, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government is still shut down, and it's not looking good for Americans that rely on the government for putting food on the table. We break down what Democrats and Republicans have been saying about the shutdown and during her book tour, Karine Jean-Pierre has a superpower she just now is revealing. Also on the show: your daily update on the Memphis Safe Task Force numbers, Memphis football bounced back in the national rankings after defeating South Florida at home, and we react to the crazy clips that came out of the Zohran NYC rallies feat. AOC. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not which team to root FOR, but which team to root AGAINST. The World Series begins tonight and it's not the Mariners/Brewers matchup we hoped for. The LA Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays will compete for the title, and we breakdown which team in the Nation of Jake we should collectively root against, even if it hurts. Also on the show: WVNN radio host Dale Jackson joins the show to talk about the White House demolition/construction, Kash Patel fires back at Stephen A. Smith for blaming President Trump on the NBA gambling scandal, and explain why Ghostbusters is a libertarian movie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a takedown of two large gambling operations that authorities say leaked inside information about NBA players and rigged poker games supported by Mafia families, over 30 arrests were made which include notable NBA names. This is worse than the Tim Donaghy referee scandal. Also on the show: more White House ballroom construction drama, President Trump isn't backing down on striking cartel drug boats, syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins the show, and we try to figure out what Halloween candy Jake needs to buy that doesn't break the bank. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not every Memphis Democrat is created equal. Rep. Antonio Parkinson reminded us of that during an interview where he admitted behavioral differences can't be ignored and that "fen fens" are safer now than they were last year because of the Memphis Safe Task Force. Don't worry, we'll fill you in on the term "fen fen", we didn't know either. Also on the show: our daily Memphis Safe Task Force update from the MSTF Data Dashboard, Jeff Daniels pulls out his guitar and serenades MSNBC viewers on his coping song, and Grizzlies basketball is back tonight as they host the New Orleans Pelicans to start the season. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democratic lawmakers have expressed outrage and overwhelming disapproval over President Trump's new White House ballroom. Trump intends to replace the rubble with a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, expected to cost around $250 million, none of which will come from the taxpayer dime. Also on the show: Rep. Steve Cohen has sour grapes with Indivisible Memphis for not being allowed to speak during the No Kings protest, new Prime Minister of Japan Sanae Takaichi is apparently a heavy metal rocker, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia Tuesday! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A proverb as old as time: FAFO. The TBI has announced they've launched an investigation into the revealing viral bodycam footage from a heated altercation between Tami Sawyer and a sheriff's deputy. Tami blamed it on being stressed by the National Guard's presence but that's not an excuse to call an officer a racist SOB. Also on the show: a No King's weekend recap featuring a potential breakup during a street interview, President Trump trolling again with an AI video of him dumping poop on protestors while flying a jet, and an ol' fashioned jewelry heist at the Louvre in Paris, France!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The "No Kings" protestor's double standards are showing. They are rallying again all over the country in an effort to combat King Trump. When it was Joe Biden in office, they wanted nothing more than major government interference in everyday life... kinda like an authoritarian dictatorship! Also on the show: A LAWSUIT! Gov. Bill Lee is facing a lawsuit by local lawmakers for the National Guard's deployment in Memphis. We also listen to some hilarious highlights from the NYC mayor debates, and we talk to WVNN radio host Dale Jackson about the latest political headlines. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who knew Tim Burchett would be buddies with AOC and Steve Cohen? That was revealed during NewsNation's Town Hall last night, also featuring other big names like Stephen A. Smith and Bill O'Reilly. Burchett uses his friend analogy to perfectly point to the biggest problems in politics today. Also on the show: Wanda Halbert is facing a lawsuit by the City of Millington for pushing back on paying for past-due rent, syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins the show to discuss term limits, and we react to another viral local video of a young boy thanking the National Guard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since the launch of the Memphis Safe Task Force, the TBI has confirmed 44 missing children recovered to safety, most being runaways. The director of the TBI said they've been focusing on the missing children, identifying 137 when the task force started. Doesn't that alone justify the entire operation? If it saves ONE life, right? Right? Also on the show: Chicagoans have expressed jealousy after seeing videos of Memphians thanking Trump for making Memphis safe again, Ketanji Brown Jackson suggests black Americans can't vote and compared them to disabled people, and The Zohran takes on Fox News! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lee Harris, the mayor of Shelby County, accused the Memphis Safe Task Force of racial profiling and illegal stops. Harris spoke at a press conference on his concerns for the Memphis Hispanic community, but we're all concerned on his embarassing inability to pronounce Spanish words. Also on the show: Rep. David Kustoff joined the show to talk about the ongoing government shutdown and the Israel/Hamas peace deal, we play two rounds of Impossible Memphis Trivia, and Memphis potentially hosting College Gameday next Saturday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apologies aren't genuine if it's blamed on other unrelated entities. Unsurprisingly, Tami Sawyer's viral meltdown, caught on an officer's bodycam, has now given us one of the worst public apologies. Why did she call a police officer a white supremacist and a racist SOB? She's stressed because of the National Guard's invasion! Also on the show: National Guard troops have been spotted in Downtown Memphis by the Pyramid, and other notable spots, Jimmy Kimmel calls Antifa an imaginary organization like the Decepticons from Transformers, and we talk to WVNN radio host Dale Jackson on why Trump was snubbed of a Nobel Peace Prize. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Racist SOB". That's some of the language used in bodycam footage of Tami Sawyer’s encounter with police that went viral. She also threatened an officer's job and called his friends "white supremacists". We break down the entire 2-minute footage that's now led to the GOP calling for her resignation. Also on the show: AG Pam Bondi gives a Memphis Safe Task Force arrests update, an alternative "All-American Halftime Show" hosted by Turning Point USA led to a discussion of our listeners suggesting artists that should perform, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins to talk about why President Trump deserves to win a Nobel Peace Prize. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dolly Parton was in America's prayers after a social media post that scared everyone. Her sister, Fredia, put out a post asking for prayers on behalf of Dolly's health which sent the country in a scramble, obviously. She's doing well, she isn't dying, and that led to the question of the day: who are elder celebrities as beloved as Queen Dolly? Also on the show: Justin J. Pearson announces his campaign against Rep. Steve Cohen, James Comey pleads not-guilty, Kristin Noem plays ICE cosplay again, and a suspect behind the January Palisades fires was arrested... and it wasn't climate change! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AOC is walking back her stance on "short kings", and body shaming altogether, after going viral for making fun of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and saying that he looks like a 4'10" little man despite being exactly one-foot taller. We react to her attempt to save herself and it's just one, big, failed BS-fest. Also on the show: Chuck Schumer was blasted twice. Once by John Stewart calling him a "human flat tire" and once again by House Speaker Mike Johnson who basically called him OLD. We also play two rounds of Impossible Memphis Trivia and we give you a warning on AI videos we also fell for. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief of CBS News, outlined in a note to staff her 10 journalistic principles that she will implement as the new editor-in-chief. It will be interesting to see if these principles, which we break down for you, are all just talk or all real action. Also on the show: the Daily Memphian released the unedited copy of Dan Conaway's final op-ed criticizing President Trump, Secretary Kristi Noem confirms ICE will be at the Super Bowl because of Bad Bunny, and Whoopi Goldberg suggests attendants do brown-face to confuse ICE agents. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A viral video has been circulating of an elementary teacher singing the monkey version of happy birthday to a black child, and there was a lot of outrage. We got a caller that believes the teacher was racist and we got other callers that couldn't disagree more. Is the monkey version racist? Also on the show: The NAACP Memphis Branch held a press conference Friday to discuss concerns about the US Marshalls... which is a different tune than what they have been saying about the National Guard. We also break down Diddy's sentence and today's Maxterpiece Theater. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You get a sign, everyone gets a sign! Throughout the show today, we had an old-fashioned van drop in Bartlett giving out signs promoting support for our law enforcement and the National Guard's arrival. We checked in with Tommy Rowe Jr. on how fast the signs went, and we put out an APB for the mystery man behind a CNN reporter with his own sign! Also on the show: we check in with syndicated columnist Ron Hart to discuss several stories including the government shutdown, the National Guard in Memphis, and Kamala Harris' new book '107 Days'. We also give you a consequential Hispanic on Hispanic Heritage Month.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“We are going to bulldoze the criminal elements in this city," Attorney General Pam Bondi told law enforcement officials shortly after landing in Memphis today. We listened to her live remarks on the show, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's comments, and WH Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. Bondi confirmed 53 criminals have been arrested in Day 2 of Memphis Safe Task Force, to the dismay of every criminal, of course. Also on the show: It's a government shutdown and every politician is pointing fingers as we break down who really is to blame, Jimmy Kimmel makes a guest appearance on Stephen Colbert's show to call Trump a "son of a bitch", and we tell you the story of an AI actress that's gone viral. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Common sense military standards are back, according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and it's being chalked up by the media as "fat-shaming". The View is saying Hegseth's speech was "not uplifting", but we counter that argument by saying accountability and high standards ARE uplifting. Also on the show: we break down the probable government shutdown and if that will affect the Memphis Safe Task Force, Tina Turner's statue in Brownsville has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, and we play two exhilarating rounds of Impossible Memphis Trivia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
