The Joe Pags Show

ICE is pausing most traffic-stop arrests after two deadly shootings, and Joe Pags breaks down what happened, why Tom Homan says the mission can't stop, and why he believes it's becoming nearly impossible for agents to do their jobs without backing from communities and elected officials. He also explains why the FBI is involved following Senator Lindsey Graham's death. Then, President Trump meets with Iraq's prime minister, answers reporters' questions, and prompts Pags to take a fascinating look back at America's long and complicated history with Iraq. And finally... yes, it's real: TMZ reports Taco Bell is under investigation over an explosive parasite outbreak, and the crew can't help but react.

Pags reflects on Lindsey Graham's heartfelt stories about his sister and the legacy he leaves behind. He then breaks down the latest ICE-related shootings, calls on the media to report the facts instead of pushing narratives, and compares the recent incidents to the thousands of successful ICE operations that receive little attention. Pags also argues ICE vehicles should be clearly marked and says anyone unsure whether they're dealing with law enforcement should go directly to a police station. Then, South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace joins the show to remember Senator Graham as a mentor, answer whether she'd consider running for his Senate seat, and explain why she believes term limits are long overdue.
