Pags opens with a troubling update on Nancy Guthrie that raises even more questions than answers. A bizarre twist follows as authorities arrest a man accused of sending a fake ransom letter, adding another layer of confusion to an already disturbing situation. From there, Pags turns his fire locally — urging voters to stop rewarding career politicians who hide behind virtue signaling while serving only themselves. Calling out San Antonio leadership by name, he asks the question many conservatives are thinking: why aren’t we voting in more family-first, common-sense conservatives? A direct, no-nonsense hour that challenges listeners to pay attention — and take action.

POTUS makes a major announcement, unveiling TrumpRx.gov, prompting a thoughtful, in-depth discussion on how the initiative could reshape American healthcare and affect families nationwide. The crew breaks down what this means in real terms — costs, access, and why this marks a significant shift in how healthcare is being approached. The hour then turns global with Part 1 of a powerful interview with Goldie Ghamari, who exposes what the Iranian people are truly enduring as unrest grows inside the country. She explains the critical difference between the citizens and the ruling theocracy, pushes back on the false narrative that Iranians support the regime, and shares sobering realities about the ongoing uprising — including how many lives have already been lost. The conversation also digs into how Iran reached this point, the historical decisions that led here, and what role the United States should play in supporting people fighting for freedom.

It’s Idiots Incoming as Pags spotlights the Dopes of the Day, pulling straight from viral moments — including two jaw-droppers out of today’s Bessent hearing, where left-wing narratives completely fall apart under pressure. Then the tone shifts with a disturbing update in the Guthrie case, as son Cameron releases a new video pleading for communication — raising fresh concerns and more unanswered questions. Pags lightens the hour with a personal throwback to his early radio days in bitter-cold Saginaw, before closing with Part Two of his powerful conversation with Goldie Ghamari, continuing the deep dive into Iran, the regime, and what the world still isn’t being told. A fast, emotional, and unfiltered hour you won’t forget.

A blistering, must-hear hour as Tom Homan holds a presser announcing the removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, saying the strategy is working — and explaining why ICE body cams are still delayed. Then it’s the VP vs. the Daily Mail, and the media’s favorite hypothetical argument gets absolutely dismantled. Pags isn’t done: he unloads on the chaos in Minnesota and asks the question no one else will — why are the good people of MN still tolerating radical leadership? A fiery, patriotic takedown that pulls no punches.

Pags sets the record straight on Minnesota — saying the people don’t “suck,” but making a blunt call for every Minnesotan to VOTE if they want real change. Then Kristi Noem drops major news: DHS has identified a prolific leaker. Pags also breaks down bad news out of California as the Supreme Court of the United States allows a new pro-Dem voting map, and explains why a big Democratic midterm win could mean nothing but impeachment chaos. Can elections be nationalized? Pags tackles the viral claims and what’s actually possible. Finally, James Lankford joins Pags to warn about another shutdown looming in under two weeks, why Democrats keep targeting ICE even though funding is already covered, and how shutdown threats are being used as leverage. Fast, factual, and urgent — a packed hour you don’t want to miss.

Pags dives into the escalating situation in Iran, laying out what the Iranian government is really doing, how it’s provoking the United States, and why supporting the Iranian people — not the regime — matters more than ever. Then a jaw-dropping discovery: a Chinese-linked biolab found in Las Vegas, prompting Pags to rip past administrations for allowing foreign adversaries to infiltrate U.S. education, research, and critical systems. He also flags a suspicious new development in the Guthrie disappearance that raises more questions than answers. The hour closes with media analyst Curtis Houck, managing editor at NewsBusters, breaking down why The Washington Post is laying off 10% of its workforce — and how the collapse of legacy media is fueling the rise of podcasts and independent journalism. A sharp, revealing, and timely hour you won’t want to miss.

Joe Pags opens with a chilling update involving Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie — and what’s been learned so far will make you seriously question everything you thought you knew about the case. Then Tricia McLaughlin steps up to explain why ICE agents will now be equipped with body cameras, prompting Pags to ask the obvious question: why weren’t they already? The hour heats up when a misinformed caller tries to dodge the facts — and Pags shuts it down in real time, walking through the truth point by point. And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without Dope of the Day. A fast-moving, eye-opening hour packed with accountability, clarity, and classic Pags.

Pags unloads on the newest media spin claiming Republicans are to blame for the shutdown drama—arguing Democrats are the ones driving it, and asking how legacy outlets keep getting away with flipping the script. He reacts to fresh rhetoric around “self-defense” that critics say dangerously blurs the line when it comes to federal agents, and then pivots to the hard news: Donald Trump signs a funding bill to reopen the government, and Pags breaks down what’s actually in it—and why he sees it as a clear Republican win. Then Jim Jordan joins Pags for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense deep dive: the latest on the Bill Clinton / Hillary Clinton deposition fight, the Jack Smith fallout and “Russia, Russia, Russia,” why Democrats keep circling defund-DHS/defund-ICE, and why Republicans say voter ID should be a no-brainer if only citizens vote. It’s an hour built for anyone who wants the facts, the strategy, and the straight talk.

Joe Pags has had it with the Hollywood elite. From the Grammys’ golden balconies, millionaires lecture everyday Americans — and Pags unloads on just how out of touch they really are. What do people preaching from $14-million mansions actually know about real life? And why does anyone still listen? Then things escalate fast as Trevor Noah finds himself at the center of controversy after comments that may land him in legal trouble. POTUS responds forcefully, and Pags breaks down why this clapback is already one for the history books. A fiery, culture-clash hour calling out celebrity hypocrisy and media arrogance — must hear.

A fact-driven, must-hear breakdown of what’s actually happening in Washington and Texas.

Pags opens with a haunting, human story involving Savannah Guthrie and her missing mother, urging listeners to put politics aside and recognize how deeply disturbing this situation is.

Then Kristi Noem directly dispels circulating rumors, setting the record straight. Finally, commentator Kay Hill joins Pags to unpack the increasingly grotesque Hollywood culture on full display at the Grammys, why Nicki Minaj is suddenly calling it out, and how celebrity culture may be cracking from the inside.

Joe Pags cuts through the manufactured outrage as Don Lemon is arrested and released — laying out, point by point, what Lemon’s actual rights are versus the crimes he was caught on camera committing and openly admitting to.

As the far left spirals into civil-war hysteria, Joe Pags brings the temperature back to reality — laying out why everyday Americans aren’t buying the panic and why POTUS flatly shuts it down (“this is no Fort Sumter”). Is Tim Walz the latest Dope of the Day? Pags explains why that label is suddenly sticking. Then, Washington drama: the Senate passes a federal funding bill while the House is already gone until Monday — so what actually happens now? Pags breaks it down in plain English. Finally, an exclusive in-studio conversation with Ken Paxton, who talks Texas politics, national stakes, and his confirmed Senate run to unseat John Cornyn — two Republicans, radically different visions. A fast-moving, America-first hour you’ll want to hear start to finish.

Joe Pags says the left will say anything to whip up their base — and he explains why the rhetoric is spinning out of control. Pags breaks down comments from Gavin Newsom as long-suspected fraud in California is finally being amplified by the Trump administration, raising the question: why did it take this long? He also covers a major court ruling blocking federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, and reacts as Kristi Noem responds to calls for her removal. Then, former CIA operative Gary Berntsen joins Pags for a jaw-dropping conversation about election machines, foreign involvement, and what his investigations uncovered — not just in the U.S., but around the world. This is a deep, serious, and eye-opening hour you won’t hear anywhere else.

White House border czar Tom Homan held a no-nonsense presser from Minneapolis, and while his tone was surprisingly measured, his message packed a punch. After being sent by Donald Trump to calm the storm following the federal enforcement clashes in Minnesota, Homan said big shifts are coming: federal agents will be drawn down and redeployed more strategically as cooperation grows with local officials, and enforcement will stay focused on known public-safety threats, not flash mobs on the streets. The plan, he stressed, won’t abandon law enforcement — it will refine and improve it, with federal agents staying until the mission is complete and effective. Homan’s approach? More targeted actions, less chaos, and a firm stance that justice will be upheld, even as he pushes back on left-wing rhetoric and insists the mission isn’t over. An essential hour to understand what the administration is actually doing on the ground, and what it means for law and order going forward.

Joe Pags issues a serious warning as local media outlets openly advertise protests — calling it propaganda, not journalism. As a broadcaster with decades of experience and multiple awards for excellence in journalism, Pags explains why this moment matters and how the media’s role has crossed a dangerous line. Then things escalate: the Chicago mayor vows to prosecute federal immigration officers, and Pags says that’s beyond reckless — it’s political theater with real-world consequences. Plus, Eric Schwalm joins the show for a must-hear first installment. If you’re on X, you’ve seen his viral breakdown of the so-called “grassroots” Signal chats targeting ICE. Schwalm, a former Green Beret who actually led counter-insurgency operations overseas, doesn’t mince words — he calls what’s happening an insurgency, explains how these movements really operate, and why Minnesota should be taking this far more seriously. This is part one of an explosive insider conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.

Joe Pags delivers a high-energy rapid-fire news hour packed with facts, accountability, and America-first clarity. The new Word of the Day — “DOPE” — sets the tone as Pags breaks down who truly earns it, including the shocking case of a man allegedly posing as an FBI agent to get Luigi Mangione out of jail. He tackles Iran’s threats against U.S. bases and carriers after Trump’s warning, explaining why strength doesn’t mean rushing into war, and calls out a stunning moment where Sen. Mark Warner appears to say the quiet part out loud — raising the obvious question of why ICE would ever be near voting locations when only citizens vote. Pags also highlights Trump’s upcoming federal initiative to combat drug addiction, praising a president focused on protecting American lives and health. The hour closes with an explosive Part Two featuring former Green Beret Eric Schwalm, whose real-world insurgency experience delivers a sobering, must-hear breakdown of what’s actually happening behind the headlines.

Joe Pags lays it out straight as newly surfaced video reveals Alex Pretti was violent toward ICE a full week before his death, shattering the narrative being pushed by the left and legacy media. Then a shocking moment in MN: Rep. Ilhan Omar is sprayed with an unknown substance—now reported as apple cider vinegar—but the Trump Administration isn’t playing, and the incident immediately becomes a federal investigation. Pags explains why attacking a member of Congress is a serious felony, no matter the substance, and asks what investigators are about to uncover next. The hour wraps with Pags dismantling another false outrage cycle, as Texas lawmakers attempt to visit a 5-year-old to perpetuate a lie—despite the child being with his father. ICE, federal agents, and this administration are stuck in a no-win situation with the far left, and Pags exposes exactly how and why.

Joe Pags dives into a massive 2020 election bombshell as FBI agents search a key election hub in Fulton County, Georgia—raising the question millions still want answered: did Joe Biden really receive more votes than any president in history? Pags explains why wanting the full truth isn’t radical—it’s necessary—and why what comes next could change everything. Then Secretary of State Marco Rubio faces a heated hearing on Venezuela, as Democrats desperately try to shift the narrative away from the U.S. targeting narco-terrorists. Rubio isn’t having it and delivers a blunt, fact-driven takedown you have to hear. The hour heats up even more when Josh Hammer of the Article III Project joins Pags to break down the growing legal exposure in Minnesota—what Walz, Frey, and O’Hara are actually doing, whether they’re crossing legal lines, and why Tom Homan’s presence changes the entire game. Fast, fiery, and packed with accountability—this is a can’t-miss hour.

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.
