The Joe Pags Show

Today’s DHS hearing delivered a sharp contrast as Republicans notched clear wins while Democrats stumbled into what many are calling an all-time low. A jaw-dropping exchange saw Todd Lyons fire back at Eric Swalwell, instantly becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the day. The White House response followed quickly, with Karoline Leavitt laying out exactly what happened and why it matters. The hour closes on a darker note with a haunting new development in the Guthrie case that raises even more unsettling questions. Fast, fact-driven, and impossible to ignore — everything you need to know from today, laid out clearly.

The SAVE Act takes center stage as the case for voter ID is laid out in plain terms — if ID is required to get medication, board a plane, or open a bank account, why is voting treated differently? The growing resistance from Democrats raises a blunt question: why oppose safeguards that protect elections? Even President Donald Trump has voiced confusion over why the bill isn’t sailing through Congress.

The hour then turns dark and urgent as Sara Carter joins the show with an alarming update on cartel activity. She explains how criminal networks are adapting after recent Venezuela developments, why cartels are actively targeting Americans — including children — and what this means for national security. A sobering, must-hear conversation that underscores why policy decisions matter right now.

Another stunning development lands in the Guthrie case as new facts come in live, reopening the biggest questions yet — kidnapping, ransom, or something else entirely? The uncertainty only grows. Attention then turns north as talk heats up around a possible renegotiation of the U.S.–Canada bridge deal, raising eyebrows about what’s really on the table. A haunting anniversary follows: Kurt Cobain was found dead 32 years ago, and a new forensic review is fueling renewed claims that his death may not have been suicide after all. The true-crime thread continues with Alex Murdaugh still pushing an appeal — but does he actually have a path forward? The hour closes with Kay Hill breaking down a global political firestorm as Keir Starmer reportedly backs a U.K.–U.S. ambassador pick linked to the Epstein list — proof that the Epstein story isn’t fading and the pressure to release everything is only growing.

The Super Bowl halftime show ignites a firestorm as Bad Bunny takes center stage — and many viewers aren’t impressed. The performance is stacked up against the high-energy, pro-America alternative seen at Turning Point USA events, raising a blunt question: was this really the show America deserved? The controversy deepens as listeners ask whether anything was censored and if anyone actually knows what was said on that stage. With the National Football League once again under scrutiny, this is a must-hear breakdown of culture, media control, and why fans feel increasingly disconnected from the game they love.

Pressure mounts as the spotlight turns to John Thune — will he take a stand and vote YES on the SAVE Act to keep the government open and continue funding DHS? The filibuster is suddenly back in play, and the stakes couldn’t be higher as the mechanics, history, and political games behind it are laid out in plain English.

Then retired Arizona sheriff Mark Lamb joins the show with jaw-dropping insider insight into a deeply flawed investigation tied to new video in the Savannah Guthrie case. Lamb breaks down what went wrong at the crime scene, why leadership failures matter, and why actions from Chris Nanos don’t pass the smell test. Calm, methodical, and devastatingly factual, Lamb explains how investigations are supposed to work — and what’s already been mishandled. A high-stakes hour packed with accountability, law enforcement reality, and political consequences you can’t ignore.
