The Joe Pags Show

Joe Pags cuts through the manufactured outrage as Don Lemon is arrested and released — laying out, point by point, what Lemon’s actual rights are versus the crimes he was caught on camera committing and openly admitting to. No spin. No excuses. Just facts. Then Pags drops a major reality check on the Liam Conejo Ramos story, explaining why certain senators and members of Congress are flat-out lying — and he backs it up with hard documentation straight from DHS. This is a full-blown takedown of media disinformation, political theatrics, and narrative manipulation. If you want the truth without filters, this is the hour you can’t miss.

As the far left spirals into civil-war hysteria, Joe Pags brings the temperature back to reality — laying out why everyday Americans aren’t buying the panic and why POTUS flatly shuts it down (“this is no Fort Sumter”). Is Tim Walz the latest Dope of the Day? Pags explains why that label is suddenly sticking. Then, Washington drama: the Senate passes a federal funding bill while the House is already gone until Monday — so what actually happens now? Pags breaks it down in plain English. Finally, an exclusive in-studio conversation with Ken Paxton, who talks Texas politics, national stakes, and his confirmed Senate run to unseat John Cornyn — two Republicans, radically different visions. A fast-moving, America-first hour you’ll want to hear start to finish.

Joe Pags says the left will say anything to whip up their base — and he explains why the rhetoric is spinning out of control. Pags breaks down comments from Gavin Newsom as long-suspected fraud in California is finally being amplified by the Trump administration, raising the question: why did it take this long? He also covers a major court ruling blocking federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, and reacts as Kristi Noem responds to calls for her removal. Then, former CIA operative Gary Berntsen joins Pags for a jaw-dropping conversation about election machines, foreign involvement, and what his investigations uncovered — not just in the U.S., but around the world. This is a deep, serious, and eye-opening hour you won’t hear anywhere else.

White House border czar Tom Homan held a no-nonsense presser from Minneapolis, and while his tone was surprisingly measured, his message packed a punch. After being sent by Donald Trump to calm the storm following the federal enforcement clashes in Minnesota, Homan said big shifts are coming: federal agents will be drawn down and redeployed more strategically as cooperation grows with local officials, and enforcement will stay focused on known public-safety threats, not flash mobs on the streets. The plan, he stressed, won’t abandon law enforcement — it will refine and improve it, with federal agents staying until the mission is complete and effective. Homan’s approach? More targeted actions, less chaos, and a firm stance that justice will be upheld, even as he pushes back on left-wing rhetoric and insists the mission isn’t over. An essential hour to understand what the administration is actually doing on the ground, and what it means for law and order going forward.

Joe Pags issues a serious warning as local media outlets openly advertise protests — calling it propaganda, not journalism. As a broadcaster with decades of experience and multiple awards for excellence in journalism, Pags explains why this moment matters and how the media’s role has crossed a dangerous line. Then things escalate: the Chicago mayor vows to prosecute federal immigration officers, and Pags says that’s beyond reckless — it’s political theater with real-world consequences. Plus, Eric Schwalm joins the show for a must-hear first installment. If you’re on X, you’ve seen his viral breakdown of the so-called “grassroots” Signal chats targeting ICE. Schwalm, a former Green Beret who actually led counter-insurgency operations overseas, doesn’t mince words — he calls what’s happening an insurgency, explains how these movements really operate, and why Minnesota should be taking this far more seriously. This is part one of an explosive insider conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.
