The Joe Pags Show

Pags takes on three of the biggest names in Democratic politics as Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton all make headlines—and Joe has plenty to say about each of them. He dismantles Harris' latest argument on voting, calls out Pelosi for what he sees as complete denial, and can't believe Hillary Clinton is back in the conversation again, reminding everyone why one of his favorite political moments remains the fact that she never became president. Then the show takes a completely different turn: the FAA has reportedly hired more than 2,000 gamers into the air traffic control pipeline since April. Pags, a lifelong gamer himself, goes all-in on whether gaming skills actually translate to one of the most stressful jobs in America, reminisces about playing Doom, looks at the six-figure salaries controllers can earn, and opens the phones for a lively conversation with listeners.

Pags breaks down the incredible video showing exactly how President Trump secretly switched planes during his overseas trip—a security maneuver straight out of a James Bond movie. But Pags has a major question: Why reveal the trick? Who leaked the details, and could exposing how the Secret Service moved the president create a security problem going forward? Then, Pags reacts to Trump's announcement that Medicaid will no longer fund gender-transition surgeries or medications for minors, arguing taxpayers never should have been forced to pay for them in the first place. He also brings you Tom Homan's latest comments on the administration's effort to drive down crime, particularly in Washington, D.C. Finally, Heritage Foundation legal expert Cully Stimson joins the program to tackle the unanswered legal questions surrounding Anthony Fauci. Could Fauci legally invoke the Fifth after receiving a pardon? What happens if he writes a book and reveals information he refused to tell Congress? Could states still prosecute him? And if Stimson were Fauci's attorney, would he have advised him to take the Fifth? It's a fascinating legal deep dive into whether Fauci could still face accountability.

Pags dives headfirst into a WNBA controversy that's guaranteed to get people talking: former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom has written a letter declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft. Pags asks whether anyone is actually watching the league, gets into the latest Sophie Cunningham drama, and explains what makes basketball so captivating in the first place—the extraordinary athletic ability most of us could never dream of having. The phones light up as listeners jump into the debate before Dinesh D'Souza joins the program with a fascinating conversation that goes back thousands of years. With a new book coming out, D'Souza tackles one of the biggest questions of faith and science: Can you accept modern science and still believe the Bible's historical accounts? Drawing on his visits to archaeological sites across Israel, he explains why he believes discovery after discovery reinforces the biblical record—and why what researchers are still uncovering could change how you look at Scripture.

Pags dives into newly released Senate committee records involving Dr. Anthony Fauci, including text messages discussing concerns surrounding COVID mRNA vaccination and pregnant women. Pags argues the documents raise a huge question: If Fauci had concerns behind the scenes, did Americans hear the same story publicly? Dr. Jay Bhattacharya weighs in on the revelations from Fauci's diary and what they could mean for the pandemic-era narrative. Then Jonathan DeBarros joins the program with a story you have to hear to believe. The Republican candidate for Connecticut's 5th Congressional District spent 19 years in prison for murder before being exonerated and receiving a full pardon. DeBarros alleges critical evidence was hidden or destroyed, tells Pags how he went from a prison cell to running for Congress, and makes his case for why Connecticut voters should send him to Washington.

Pags asks the question that still doesn't have a simple answer: Who actually controls the Strait of Hormuz, and is it really open? With the midterms just 90 days away, Trump's approval numbers slipping and Democrats increasingly unified in their attacks on Republicans, Pags argues the Iran conflict needs an endgame. He brings you the biggest moments from President Trump's Oval Office remarks, explains why he trusts the president but isn't buying the idea that America has 100% control of the Strait, and asks what changed if Iran is suddenly getting anything from the United States. Pags also reacts to reports that Trump wants Iran to compensate victims of its attacks. Then the show takes a wild turn: helicopter parents are apparently showing up to their adult children's JOB INTERVIEWS. Pags says absolutely not, the crew weighs in, and listeners flood the phones for a hilarious debate over whether it's finally time for parents to CUT THE CORD.
