The war on voter ID is reaching fever pitch—and Joe Pags says the optics aren’t looking good for Democrats. As they double down and even roll out Kamala Harris to defend the position, the messaging gets shakier by the minute. Who’s winning this fight—and who’s making fools of themselves? Pags breaks it down with receipts. Then the Epstein saga heats back up. Hillary Clinton now faces renewed scrutiny as a leaked photo from a hearing circulates, and questions resurface about Ghislaine Maxwell’s presence at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.

A “non-update” in the Nancy Guthrie case—reports say the family may be getting her home back. What does that really signal? Joe Pags reads between the lines. JD Vance heads to Wisconsin to tout President Trump’s economy—and in a jaw-dropper, Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer thanks Trump for Michigan’s booming business climate. Yes, that happened. Then Will Chamberlain of the Article III Project joins Joe Pags for a rapid-fire legal breakdown: Does law enforcement need a judicial warrant to make an arrest? Can Republicans bring back the real talking filibuster? Will John Thune actually act? And what’s next on Trump’s tariffs—plus the buzz about a possible tariff refund? Sharp answers, big implications, and a fast-moving hour you don’t want to miss.

Should mail-in ballots be banned? Have Democrats actually tried to game the system? Joe Pags digs into the voter integrity fight and what’s happening as Harmeet Dhillon moves to collect voter data—whether certain states want to cooperate or not. Is this transparency or a turf war? Pags lays it out clearly. Then it’s DOPE OF THE DAY—lefty lunacy edition. The contenders are wild, the crew weighs in, and the laughs roll. And buckle up: former mob boss Michael Franzese joins Joe Pags for a jaw-dropping comparison between the old American Mafia and today’s Mexican cartels. After reports that cartel boss El Mencho may be out of the picture, what really happens next? Franzese explains the power vacuum, the brutal internal battles, and why he believes modern cartels operate more like paramilitary organizations than street gangs. From border spillover risks to whether U.S. leaders grasp the threat, this is a chilling, insider perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.

Team USA’s gold medal hockey champs are heading to the White House—and yes, they’ll be with President DT at the SOTU. Big American energy. But while the champs are celebrating, Texas politics is heating up. Is there real infighting in the Senate race… or just campaign-season drama? Joe Pags digs in. Then things turn serious. Americans being told to shelter in place in Mexico. Cartels battling in broad daylight. Iran making moves. Ukraine warning of global escalation. Are these isolated headlines—or pieces of a much bigger puzzle? Lt. Col. Jeffrey Addicott joins Joe Pags and doesn’t sugarcoat it. Is this a cartel turf war or something more organized? Are cartels operating inside the U.S.? Could Americans be targeted? Would POTUS use drone strikes if it came to that? And are we anywhere near a multi-country conflict involving Iran? From gold medals to global flashpoints—this hour moves fast and hits hard.

USA takes gold over Canada in hockey—cue the celebration—but Joe Pags asks a question no one else will: should Kash Patel be slamming beers and partying behind the scenes? The take may surprise you.

Plus, former FBI supervisory special agent Daniel Brunner joins the show with explosive insight. Did the FBI mishandle the Guthrie case by releasing key video? Could cartels be involved? What really happened in Jalisco, Mexico after a major drug kingpin was killed—and why did violence erupt immediately after?

This is insider-level border intelligence you won’t hear anywhere else.

West Palm Beach Airport may soon bear the name President Donald J. Trump—and Joe Pags says the left won’t know what hit them. Just waiting on Gov. DeSantis to sign off, and the trolling level is legendary. Then the ICE school “walkouts” narrative gets shredded—Pags reminds everyone skipping school isn’t some protected First Amendment act. And what about the claim that ICE is hiring “bounty hunters”? The truth behind that headline is jaw-dropping. Plus—this is huge—former FBI profiler James R. Fitzgerald joins the show and delivers a gripping psychological breakdown of the Nancy Guthrie case. Why is there still “no new information”? What does that actually signal in an investigation?

Does DHS have to grant anyone access to detainee facilities? The left says yes—Joe Pags says absolutely not, and he explains why the outrage is misplaced. Then the UFO firestorm: did former President Barack Obama cross a line talking about classified alien information? President Trump says enough—and orders more documents released. That sparks pushback from Thomas Massie… but is he missing who started the conversation in the first place? And don’t miss a lively sit-down with former MLB slugger Mark Teixeira—400+ career home runs and now running for Congress in Texas’ 21st district. From border security and ICE to the Second Amendment and the federal budget, it’s politics meets America’s pastime in a fun, high-energy hour you won’t want to skip.

Explosive viral claims are swirling about Rep. Tony Gonzales and a tragic death—and Joe Pags says slow down. Is this truth coming to light… or political timing at play? He breaks down what’s being alleged, why the timing matters, and why facts—not rumors—have to win. Then President DT holds a presser on the “board of peace,” but Pags makes it clear: if the U.S. is pledging billions overseas, Americans deserve to know why that money isn’t staying here first. ICE is now getting broader authority to detain individuals here on temporary status—and Pags says temporary means temporary. Law and order matters. Plus, a potential terror attack is thwarted in Idaho. What do we know? How close was it? The details are chilling. A packed, high-stakes hour that cuts through the noise.

Prince Andrew is arrested—then released—and Joe Pags is asking the question many Americans are thinking: how does this guy get cuffed while bigger names uncovered in the U.S. never seem to face consequences? Is it hypocrisy, politics, the deep state… or something worse? He calls it out. Then more than 300 students are suspended after staging a walkout—and Pags says actions have consequences. Period. Plus, Alireza Jafarzadeh joins the program with a powerful perspective on Iran. Is today’s unrest anything like the 1979 revolution? Are we on the brink of something historic in the Persian Gulf? Why are Western leaders negotiating with a regime that never honors deals? From potential regime change to what happens if the theocracy falls, this is a must-hear deep dive into what’s really unfolding—and what it could mean for the world.

There's much talk about censuring unruly democrats, who disrupted the sotu speech. That's great, I supported, but there should be more done than that. those Representatives should be removed from Congress immediately. they should have been escorted from the chamber. censorship may have other impacts but by itself it's very weak. Democrats who refuse to support American citizens should be removed from all committees.
Ellison is a disgrace. he always has been. he should be in jail. What Senators need to do is joined together, perhaps two or three. share your combined 15 minutes so you can play the entire tape without interruption. then give each senator 2 for 3 minutes minutes for questioning and making statements.
hey Joe. I have been a listener for years. I was saddened when they took you off 1200, but was saddened when I heard you on 550. I especially enjoy your interviews. I would like to share a crazy dream I had a few nights ago. I dreamt that Elon placed a call to Barack wanting to know the name of the person who helped with his Hawaiian birth certificate. Elon said that he might run for president too. I f you use this, please let me know. DJT is the greatest president in my lifetime. Keep it up.
