The Joe Pags Show

CNN founder Ted Turner has died at 87, marking the end of a major chapter in American media history. Joe Pags reflects on how Turner changed the entire news landscape by launching the first 24-hour news network — and how even CNN once felt far more balanced than it does today. Pags also shares his own experiences appearing on CNN over the years and how drastically the media world has shifted. Plus, the latest on Iran, what the U.S. is doing right now, where the conflict stands, and what could happen next.

Joe Pags sounds off on calls for a billionaire tax, calling it ridiculous and warning it’s another step toward socialism.

President Trump backs candidates in Indiana and they nearly sweep the primaries, while the Texas showdown between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn tightens even more. Plus, Vivek Ramaswamy scores a major Republican primary win in Ohio’s governor race. Joe Pags also reacts after a Texas water park reverses a “Muslim-only” event following pressure from Governor Abbott, calling it the right move. Then, Judge Roy K. Altman joins for a powerful conversation on Israel, misinformation surrounding the region, and the real history behind the conflict. From the 1967 borders to the flood of anti-Israel narratives online, Altman breaks down what’s fact, what’s fiction, and why understanding the history actually matters.

Gas prices keep climbing as tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz continue to shake global oil markets. Joe Pags breaks down why Americans are still feeling it at the pump, what Pete Hegseth and General Caine are saying about Operation Epic Fury, and why Marco Rubio stepped in for Karoline Leavitt to explain the shift into Project Freedom. With Rubio warning the U.S. is still better off than it could be, Pags cuts through the spin and explains what this means for oil, gas, Iran, and your wallet.

Sec. Marco Rubio takes over the White House briefing and makes it clear he has zero patience for legacy media games, especially on Iran, Hormuz, and national security. Then, President Trump revives the Presidential Fitness Test, but reporters immediately pivot to Iran — and Trump answers directly. Plus, Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon joins to shut down the left’s Voting Rights Act panic, explaining why the Supreme Court’s Louisiana ruling did not “gut” voting rights, but pushed back on race-based redistricting. She also dives into Second Amendment enforcement, redistricting fights in Virginia, California, Massachusetts, and why the DOJ says constitutional rights are back on offense.
