The Joe Pags Show

Pags opens with the heartbreaking breaking news that Dolly Parton has died at 80, remembering the extraordinary life and legacy of an entertainer who somehow seemed universally loved. Then the conversation turns to the WNBA's decision that Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are NOT eligible for the 2027 draft—and Pags asks the question the league may not want to answer: If they're ineligible, exactly what standard is the WNBA using to determine who qualifies to play in a women's league? The phones light up over the question of "what is a woman?" before Pags pivots to the escalating trade fight with Canada. He brings you JD Vance's latest remarks, breaks down where tariffs are increasing and explains what the collapsing U.S.-Canada trade talks could ultimately mean for American consumers, businesses and the economy.

Pags has had enough with what he sees as relentless anti-Trump bias across mainstream news and digital media, explaining why Americans should never blindly accept a headline—even from an outlet they normally trust. His rule is simple: trust, but VERIFY. Then Pags dives into the latest Kennedy Center battle as the Trump administration suggests the building could actually be demolished if the courts block its renovation plans. And somehow, things get even crazier: Victor Wembanyama is reportedly STILL growing, with claims that the Spurs superstar could now stand 7'7" with an unbelievable 8'3" wingspan. Then Georgia Rep. Mike Collins joins the program as he campaigns to unseat Sen. Jon Ossoff. Why does Collins believe Ossoff seems more focused on running against Trump than defending his own record? Collins and Pags get into the Georgia Senate showdown, Trump's agenda and the escalating Canada trade fight—and what that battle could mean for Americans.

Pags reacts to a disturbing Iranian state-media video threatening Barron Trump—but first takes apart the way the story itself is being framed, arguing that even something this serious isn't immune from slanted journalism. Pags promises to cut through the spin before diving into President Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz has been demined. But if America controls the Strait, why is China still benefiting from Iranian oil? Then China issues a warning to Washington over the latest Iran sanctions push, CIA Director John Ratcliffe makes a secretive trip to Russia, and Pags has a few ideas about what America should be telling Beijing. He also reacts to RFK Jr.'s remarks about how dramatically childhood obesity has changed since his uncle's generation. Finally, Georgia Rep. Mike Collins returns for Part 2 as he campaigns to unseat Sen. Jon Ossoff. Why does Collins say Ossoff acts like he's running against Donald Trump instead of running on his own record? Collins and Pags dig into the Georgia Senate fight, the battle over Trump's agenda and what the escalating Canada trade dispute means for American workers.

Pags brings you President Trump's latest remarks from the campaign trail before getting into Enes Kanter Freedom being removed from a WNBA game—and the controversy surrounding what happened. Then Pags turns his attention to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and asks the question frustrated Republicans keep asking: Why is he still leading the Senate if the GOP agenda isn't getting across the finish line? Next, James O'Keefe heads to Alaska with an undercover investigation into the state's voting system, and Pags breaks down what he uncovered and the questions it raises about election integrity. Plus, a potentially major development in the search for Nancy Guthrie as authorities investigate human remains discovered in Pima County. Could this finally provide an answer in the months-long mystery? Pags has the latest as the story develops.

Pags breaks down a major Supreme Court victory for President Trump on mail-in voting just months before the midterms—and explains why involving the U.S. Postal Service could be a game-changing part of the plan. Then Vice President JD Vance hits the campaign trail, including a stop in Maine where Susan Collins and the battle for control of the Senate take center stage. Back in Texas, things are getting VERY expensive: Ted Cruz predicts the Paxton Senate race could become a staggering $200 million political war as Gov. Greg Abbott throws his support behind Ken Paxton. Then Kay Hill joins Pags with a wild update from New York City. Zohran Mamdani reportedly disappeared on vacation after announcing his controversial pied-à-terre tax proposal—and now even major media outlets are asking where he went. Are Mamdani's biggest promises already falling apart? Pags and Kay dig into the growing backlash, while callers have some MUCH stronger words for the DSA and its agenda.
