The Joe Pags Show

Pags opens the show with the latest on rising gas prices and the deaths of U.S. service members in the Middle East, including a look at the hometowns of the fallen troops from Texas and Hawaii. He also takes a lighter break as the crew celebrates Polo's 50th birthday with stories from over the years. Pags then reacts to New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani's comments that he would seek to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited New York, explaining why he believes the idea is unrealistic and what such a move could mean diplomatically. Finally, Pags provides an update on recent politically motivated threats, including the arrest of a former U.S. Army soldier accused of setting a fire and launching fireworks outside a federal building that houses ICE and FBI offices in Lower Manhattan, an incident now being investigated by the FBI.

Pags breaks down the growing controversy surrounding Zohran Mamdani as New York lawmakers push to investigate whether his comments about arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu crossed legal lines. He also reacts to Mamdani's latest remarks about making New York a "sanctuary city" and what they could mean for immigration enforcement. Pags then highlights comments from Border Czar Tom Homan, who explains why some jurisdictions refuse to cooperate with ICE and reminds Americans that ICE agents are mothers, fathers, and public servants carrying out the law. Then, Brigitte Gabriel, founder of Act for America and a national security expert who fled Lebanon's civil war, joins the show to discuss Mamdani, the future of Iran's regime, growing concerns over Islamist influence in the West, and what she believes America must do to protect its national security.

Pags reacts to comments from Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin about the SAVE Act, arguing that requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration is designed to prevent illegal voting, and questions why some Democrats oppose the measure. The SAVE Act would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and has become a major point of partisan debate. Pags also revisits campaign promises from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, weighs in on comedian Bill Maher's recent criticisms of the Democratic Party, and reflects on Maher's memorable conversation with Charlie Kirk. He then discusses Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed's proposals to raise taxes and expand government programs. Finally, Kay Hill joins the program to examine the growing political divisions in America, the role of media narratives and cultural battles in fueling polarization, and what she believes is driving the country's increasingly fractured political climate.

Pags takes a deep dive into President Trump's primetime address, breaking down the documents Trump declassified, the claims he made about election integrity, foreign interference, and the so-called "deep state," while responding point-by-point to the biggest counterarguments. Trump also announced that additional documents will be released as part of the investigation into intelligence and election-related matters. Pags says the allegations, if fully proven, read like a Hollywood political thriller—and wonders why no one in Hollywood would dare make that movie. Trump's address centered on newly declassified intelligence, election security, and calls for further investigations, though some of the released material has been disputed by other analysts and news organizations.

Pags explains why he believes many critics oppose President Trump without clearly articulating their reasons, then breaks down DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin's latest claims about voter fraud and election integrity. He also explores whether a president has the legal authority to eliminate voting machines or whether those decisions rest with states and Congress. Then, former CIA special operations officer Gary Berntsen joins the show to discuss his findings on alleged election interference, how those findings inspired the book Stolen Elections, and why he believes the evidence involving voting systems and foreign actors deserves closer scrutiny. Berntsen also explains why he believes the evidence cited by President Trump warrants further investigation into the 2020 election.
