Joe Pags delivers a high-energy rapid-fire news hour breaking down the stories others are barely talking about — including why Ukraine and Zelenskyy’s role in the Russia-Ukraine peace process has been largely ignored, and what Trump’s positive meeting with Machado at the White House might signal for the 2026 political landscape. He also reacts to troubling reports about an Iraqi militia reportedly aiding Iran’s leaders in suppressing protesters — prompting Pags to wonder whether past U.S. actions contributed to today’s chaos — and highlights the staggering news that illegal immigrants cost Texas hospitals more than $1 billion in 2025. Then Ali Bradley joins the show from Minneapolis, reporting from the heart of the protests and chaos surrounding the recent ICE enforcement operations. She tells listeners what she’s seeing on the ground, shares real-time footage from among the crowds, and explains the tension firsthand — including how she has repeatedly put herself in the middle of the action and even had to retreat due to threats.

President Trump and his DOJ are aggressively tracking down leakers, and one has now been arrested and jailed over what POTUS says was the leak of top-secret information tied to Venezuela strikes—prompting Joe Pags to break down how a Washington Post reporter allegedly obtained the material and whether journalists themselves could face legal exposure. Drawing on more than 35 years running newsrooms and anchoring major broadcasts, Pags then unloads on a local station for flat-out misreporting, explaining exactly how bad journalism turns into viral misinformation and why Americans should be far more careful about where they get their news.

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.
