The Joe Pags Show

President Trump heads back to the United States after a massive summit in China where talks reportedly covered Iran, Taiwan, trade, fentanyl, and global security. Joe Pags praises the pomp and ceremony surrounding the trip, but asks the real question — what was actually said behind closed doors with President Xi? He also reacts to reports that all gifts, pins, burner phones, and materials handed out by the Chinese government were thrown away before boarding Air Force One for security reasons, calling it the smart move. Plus, Pags sounds off on modern culture, arguing we’ve become a nation of keyboard warriors who won’t say things face-to-face anymore, and gives the latest updates coming out of China as the world watches what happens next.

Then, Lily Tang Williams — who escaped Communist China and is now running for Congress in New Hampshire — joins to explain how difficult it is for Americans to truly understand Xi Jinping’s goals, why so many Chinese nationals entered the U.S. during the open border years, and the growing concerns about espionage and national security.
