Nation of Jake

Former FBI Director James Comey has been charged by a federal grand jury for a controversial Instagram post from a year ago that President Donald Trump and officials of his administration felt constituted as threat to the president. Is Trump justified for this, or is this an over-exaggeration? Also on the show: Jake rants about the OTHER Mayor Lee Harris regarding his lawsuit on behalf of MSCS, Ji...

For the third time in three years, Trump has become a target. We have a manifesto and clear motive, and still there are conspiracies that it was staged. How was the attempted assassin able to get this far? We break down all the details of the night and the insane reactions. Also on the show: JB Smiley stole Doug McGowan's tagline,  people are calling for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired (again)), Rep...

"We NEED state intervention. I am an advocate." Strong words by former Memphis mayor Willie Herenton, who revealed his position on Brent Taylor's strong (and successful) push for an oversight board of MSCS. Democrats are calling oversight racist, and that Herenton is basically out of touch. Also on the show: Famous comedian Henry Cho, "The Korean Tennessean", joined the show to talk about the sacr...

A bill for the state to establish an oversight board for Memphis Shelby County Schools was APPROVED by the Tennessee State Senate and House. The vote in the House was 73-19 and the State Senate result was 27-6. The governor’s desk will soon receive the bill, and Democrats are saying it's all racist. Shocked? Also on the show: Memphians are upset at NBA Commissioner Adam Silver for wanting th...

Are the roots of Earth Day communist? We break it down. Memphis is going through it with the news of 3 remains of children found in Hickory Hill, the bomb threat at the Bass Pro in the Pyramid,  and the state takeover of MSCS getting approved by the TN House. So...happy Earth Day...? Also on the show: Adam Silver says the Grizzlies will stay in Memphis but play some in Nashville, we play the...

VOTE! The only way to bring in competence back in local government is to vote out the morons. Senior Skip Day should be a priority for leadership, kids need to be in school. We get an impromptu interview with Brad Less, who is running for Shelby County Sheriff on how he would enact change.  Also on the show: Mark Cuban has buyer's remorse about Kamala Harris, Tucker Carlson has buyer's remors...

Is Don Lemon high? It seems he is really flirting with the idea of running for President, saying that "If Trump can be President, why can't I?" We also break down the best nicknames for weed like the devil's lettuce, ganja, loud, and left-handed cigarettes. Not to mention other notable 4/20 events. Also on the show: Tim Cooke is stepping down from his role with Apple, the suspect in the "Senior Sk...

The Tennessee Department of Labor And Workfoce Development would be required to add Kratom under the official umbrella of a drug as long as Gov. Bill Lee approves it. The real question in the Nation, however, is HOW DO YOU SAY IT? Kratom or Kratom? Also on the show: we break down all the major movies coming out next year and in 2028 that we are excited for, Apes in April featuring the King of Pop,...

TMZ's expanded into DC, and boy do they have a LOT to work with, like RFK Jr.'s proclivity for racoon genitalia? There's a bill on the chopping block in TN to crackdown on Kratom, where else will can somebody get their "gas station heroin?"  Ticketmaster charging an arm and a leg for a concert tix?! Let's do a bit of "Ticketmaster math" and see what concerts people are willing to bite the bul...

Time to pay Uncle Sam! Or maybe it's time to get your money back. Tennessee got an extension midway through Tax Day but that doesn't stop the Nation of Jake from giving you the biggest names in tax fraud, putting in perspective how much Americans are paying in taxes, and why MATA thrives off this time of year. Also on the show: Elizabeth Warren explains (with M&M's) why Elon Musk's money in he...

Senior Skip Days are OUT OF CONTROL. First, the shooting at Tom Lee Park three weeks ago, and today at Shelby Farms, a 17-year-old student shot and killed during an unsanctioned "Senior Skip Day" at the park. What should Memphis-Shelby County Schools do at this point? Also on the show: A damning clip has been released & one victim released a statement against Eric Swalwell, so we break it all...

America has been united for one day only after President Trump posted an AI image of him in white and red robes healing a man on a hospital bed. It's so obviously him as Jesus, but Trump is saying he just thought it was a doctor. The image has been deleted however, which is basically the closest thing to an apology Trump would give. Also on the show: Trump takes shots at Pope Leo. Rep. Eric Swalwe...

One of the (many) things Hunter Biden inherited from his father Joe was his willingness to go behind the woodshed and throw hands. In a bizarre clip, Hunter challenges both Don Jr. AND Eric Trump to a cage match. Question is: will it be a 1 v 2? Or is Hunter in the hunt for a tag-team partner? Also on the show: WVNN's Dale Jackson joins the show to talk about the latest political headlines, Artemi...

“I am not Epstein’s victim.” Those were the words from First Lady Melania Trump who denounced a number of false allegations made between her and infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Also on the show: the latest edition of "Hoes Be Stealin'", breaking down the 201 Poplar report card, reveal...

One day Trump is a raging dictator, and the next he is a chicken. After the threating "a whole civilization will die" post against Iran, media pundits and Jimmy Kimmel are bringing back the TACO acronym: Trump Always Chickens Out. Did he back out, or did he simply honor a ceasefire he was hoping to secure in the first place? Also on the show: We discuss unwritten rules like never slapping someone...

More Memphis slander! Former NBA player Jeff Teague CROSSED THE LINE. He claimed while staying in a Memphis hotel when he was playing the Grizzlies that his bathtub had dirty brown water. Anyone that knows anything about Memphis knows our water is no joke, it's the best.  Also on the show: a ceasefire is announced between Trump and Iran after threating to end an entire civilization, Rep. Tim...

Already a TOP 3 best clip of the year so far. Overlooking the American people on a White House perch sits President Trump and the Easter Bunny, as Trump rambles about eggs, fake news, and Easter decorations. Then he spends time with kids during the egg hunt telling them about Biden's autopen and how he's the best. We break it all down.  Also on the show: LeBron James DOUBLES DOWN on his hatre...

Defending Memphis after LeBron's comments about the Bluff City is understandable. However, there's a new argument about why Memphis should not move to Nashville that should stop. The Grizzlies aren't a charity; Memphis was completely stable without an NBA team, and we shouldn't be using the sympathy card to defend it. Also on the show: Jake goes through each National League city and rates it from...

LeBron James ripped Memphis while golfing and even said the Grizzlies should move to Nashville in a clip that's gone SUPER viral. James poured salt on the womb by also claiming if he had been drafted by Memphis in 2003, he would have pulled an Eli Manning and not shown up. Let's just say, Memphians are not happy at all.  Also on the show: Pam Bondi is OUT as Attorney General, Artemis II's mul...

How ironic is it that Memphis Shelby County Schools interim audit results came out on April Fools' Day, and not a single person thought the results were a prank.

Also on the show: Could Don Lemon join Stephen A. Smith, Gavin Newsom, a...

What was a silly headline yesterday has now turned into a fascinating story a day later after we received an explanation from a friend of Arlington Mayor Mike Wissman. Arlington's biggest conspiracy *could* truly be a misunderstanding, but others think it's a tall tale hiding behind a pair of butt shorts. Also on the show: Jake calls out Mayor Paul Young for relieving four MPD officers of their du...

Tyranny! Facism! No Kings protestors are crying! Is it over the pepper spray or getting run over by horses? MPD stated Indivisible Memphis, the organizers, did not secure permits to block public roads, and that the orange-vested freedom fighters refused to obey lawful orders. We break down all the reactions and clips. Also on the show: the Mayor of Arlington has been charged with (accidental?) sho...

In an effort to reopen DHS, House Republicans rejected a funding bill passed by the Senate, prolonging a six-week shutdown. TSA officers will receive funding, according to an executive order signed by President Trump. Should TSA just be shutdown, though? Also on the show: Cocaine sharks, golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested for DUI (again) after a car crash in Florida, WVNN's Dale Jackson hangs ou...

Memphis babies (according to Yolanda Cooper-Sutton) need a bedtime. Unsupervised teens running around the city has sparked fights in downtown Memphis, and now shootings in broad daylight at Tom Lee Park. Their parents don't care, so now the city NEEDS to step in. Also on the show: We sort through EVERY suggestion for the new hockey team at the Landers Center. From the Mississippi Mudcats, Bluff Ci...
