All Aboard The Graham Platner Train...Wreck

Following an array of controversies, including a woman accusing him of sexual assault, Democrat Graham Platner has suspended his campaign for US Senate in Maine. In a video, Platner claimed that Democrats' threats to stop funding his campaign were the reason behind his decision rather than an admission of guilt. Also on the show: a San Francisco restaurant owner is fining parents that have wild kids, Mitch McConnell is still alive, an attempted post office thief targeted Germantown, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart joined the show to chime in on Graham Platner's dead campaign.

Final Audit Of MSCS – “They Didn’t Want This To Be Uncovered.”

According to State Comptroller Jason Mumpower, the MSCS audit details over $119 million in fraud, waste, and abuse. “The findings in this report represent some of the worst organizational management we have ever seen anywhere in government." Will there be any actual repercussions, or will this be swept under the rug? Also on the show: Iran (SHOCKINGLY) broke their ceasefire and people are calling for total annihilation, John Rose is campaigning for Governor like his life depends on it, and a Chattanooga train conductor got fired for what some say are xenophobic statements.

GOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL

Maybe talk radio isn't the path for Jake, maybe it's been a Spanish soccer announcer this entire time. We break down Argentina coming back 0-2 against Egypt, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announcing one of her upcoming stops: The Bluff City. Early POTUS campaign in Memphis? Also on the show: Graham Platner is the most unsurprising bad dude probably ever and one woman has come forth with a serious accusation, a kid in California is super chill after just losing his right hand in a firework accident, and Impossible Trivia Tuesday.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

The Nation of Jake has been on Newstalk 98.9 for 5 YEARS! We celebrate by going back in time and reminiscing on the good times with Bud the Producer and Rivera.

Also on the show: Graham Platner is done and Jake explains why, a man was shot and killed on Beale Street after two National Guard troops chased him down after he fired shots, and we talk to Mike Conti from Atlanta to break down the Trump red card drama.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
