About this episode

Jake Novak discusses major news events, including geopolitical tensions and political issues.

Guest host Jake Novak takes over the Stone Zone to rank the day's breaking news in a deliberate "descending order" of importance. Topping the list is a major geopolitical escalation: the U.S. intercepted an Iranian ship smuggling Chinese ballistic missile chemicals, proving China is actively fueling global chaos. Novak also unpacks Wall Street's flatline surrender amid rumors of Pakistan peace talks, and the end of a tech era with Tim Cook stepping down as Apple CEO. On the political front, Jake dismisses the scandalous resignation of the Labor Secretary as unimportant, sounds the alarm on a sneaky redistricting referendum in Virginia that he calls a form of voter suppression, and explains why Alan Dershowitz leaving the Democratic Party highlights a much larger war on meritocracy and civilization itself. Finally, the episode wraps with a staggering look at massive government NGO fraud exposed by Secretary Doug Burgum. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
