Government Reopens: POTUS Stuns, Dems Spin, Steube Fires Back - Nov 13 Hr 2
President Trump has officially signed the bill to reopen the government, and what he said afterward will absolutely shock you. Joe Pags plays his favorite clips from the announcement — including the moments the media conveniently glossed over. Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries is bizarrely congratulating Democrats, prompting Pags to ask: For what, exactly? And with Kamala Harris now gone from the spotlight, Rep. Jasmine Crockett steps in with a fresh batch of word salad, offering a clip so hilarious you have to hear it. Then Rep. Greg Steube joins Pags with an unfiltered and incredibly insightful interview. Steube explains why he refused to support the CR, why he believes it was the wrong move strategically, and what January 30th now represents in the bigger political picture. He also lays out why he supports returning the filibuster to its original form, aligning with President Trump’s position. And Steube sets the record straight on the controversial $500,000 allowance for senators, revealing that it was a Senate-driven provision and that many senators listed don’t even want it. It’s a sharp, fact-rich conversation that cuts through the noise and brings clarity to a chaotic Washington moment.

BBC Apologizes, DOJ Sues California & Dr. Ben Carson Lays Out the Fix for Healthcare - Nov 13 Hr 3
Joe Pags kicks off the hour with the BBC issuing an apology as the network faces the threat of a $1 billion lawsuit, then turns to major political news as the DOJ sues California over its House map — a move Pags predicted long before it hit the headlines. The crew also has a hilarious sidebar debate: Has everyone actually seen Rocky? It’s pure Joe Pags Show energy. Then, Dr. Ben Carson joins for a compelling, in-depth interview on the future of healthcare in America. He discusses the political void left since Kirk’s assassination, the strange infighting on the right, and how Big Pharma’s stock soared because of Obamacare. Dr. Carson lays out a clear, practical path to undoing the damage, rebuilding a functional system, and explains how history could have been dramatically different had John McCain voted to repeal Obamacare. It’s smart, honest, and one of the most important healthcare conversations you’ll hear.

Pags Breaks Down POTUS vs. BBC, “Affordability” Spin & Rep. Brandon Gill Takes On Judge Boasberg - Nov 12 Hr 2
Joe Pags unpacks a major developing story: POTUS is eyeing a potential billion-dollar lawsuit against the BBC, and Pags explains why holding so-called “journalists” to real standards has never been more important. He plays the edited vs. full clip of Trump’s Jan. 6 remarks so listeners can hear the difference for themselves. Then Pags digs into Washington’s new buzzword — “affordability” — and breaks down why Democrats are suddenly using it nonstop and what they’re really trying to sell you. Finally, Texas Rep. Brandon Gill joins the show for a fiery conversation about his push to impeach Judge Boasberg, a judge he says is acting like he has more authority than the President. They get into why Boasberg is under scrutiny, what really drove the Schumer shutdown, and why Democrats were willing to hurt real American families to score political points. It’s bold, smart, and packed with the kind of truth you won’t get from legacy media.
