The Joe Pags Show

The Austin shooting takes another stunning turn after Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, the attorney representing Wilber Garces Perez, comes under fire for a grotesque, now-deleted social media post about Charlie Kirk. Pags doesn't hold back on what he thinks of it before turning to Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department's election-fraud investigations. Administration officials say federal...

President Trump takes the world stage at the United Nations, but back home the ICE shooting in Austin is getting even more complicated. New details indicate the Venezuelan man involved initially stopped for ICE officers before driving away, and Pags wants to know why that critical part of the story has been so difficult to find in the coverage. Using reporting and video from Breanna Morello, the s...

President Trump takes his message straight to the United Nations, tackling Iran, illegal immigration around the world, the fight against drug cartels and what he sees as international institutions placing unfair burdens on countries. Iran takes center stage as Trump weighs another major decision and reiterates that Tehran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Pags praises the president for...

The Sound Byte of the Night delivers an instant classic when Vice President JD Vance accidentally calls the “far left” the “fart left”—and even Vance can't help but acknowledge the slip. Then it's back to serious business as President Trump continues laying out his fight against international drug cartels before signing a major security agreement with Denmark and Greenland that significantly expan...

The media fight isn't going away. After CNN, MS NOW and Politico were barred from the White House, Pags argues that access to the building is a privilege—not an unlimited right—and cuts through the First Amendment fight surrounding the ban. Then a shooting involving an ICE officer in North Austin explodes into the headlines, with stories emphasizing that a DoorDash driver was shot and remains deta...

The hour opens with a look back at Barack Obama and Pags’ argument that his presidency helped deepen America’s political divisions, including a look at what Rush Limbaugh was warning about at the time. Then the Lindsay Clancy case takes another wild turn. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is asking the judge to investigate the lone holdout juror, including his alleged cellphone use during delibera...

The Iran war keeps expanding, and now the Houthis are creating another major problem in Yemen. Iran-backed Houthi forces are pushing for more territory near critical Red Sea shipping routes, while reports say President Trump recently called off planned U.S. strikes against them. Pags asks the obvious question: Why didn't we just take them out when we had the chance? Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary S...

Free Speech Friday kicks off with a massive Truth Alert as President Trump announces a historic Greenland agreement securing expanded, permanent U.S. military rights on the strategically critical island. Then Hasan Piker says the Middle East would be “more stable” if Iran had nuclear weapons—and Pags absolutely tears the argument apart in a must-hear moment. The phones light up before another huge...

A bizarre Gavin Newsom image has people asking whether it's even real, and Pags breaks down what he's seeing. Then the spotlight turns to Trump-endorsed Florida Rep. María Elvira Salazar after she released a campaign ad directly challenging the president's immigration enforcement, saying it has gone “too far.” That has Pags asking a much tougher question: Did Salazar misrepresent where she stood t...

The Don Jr. wedding story gets another update as President Trump says his son told him he will repay Umar Kremlev for the money spent on two wedding celebrations in the Bahamas. Trump says he doesn't know Kremlev and dismissed the controversy as "not a big deal," while Pags breaks down what actually happened versus the political narrative surrounding it. Then construction begins on new border barr...

Pags starts with the latest on the Iran war as the conflict increasingly draws attention toward Yemen and President Trump weighs what comes next. Then the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial finally speaks publicly, calling several fellow jurors “activists” and giving his side of what happened inside the deliberation room. Pags digs into his claims and asks listeners where they stand—an...

Pags says Texans need to be paying very close attention to the Senate race, and he's sounding the alarm over James Talarico. New undercover video features a minister from Talarico's longtime church questioning whether his recent political makeover is genuine, and Pags digs into what voters are being told versus Talarico's record. Then Gavin Newsom casually floats the idea of running for president...

Pags dives into a major decision facing President Trump as the Iran war spreads further into Yemen. Trump says he's weighing whether to resume large-scale attacks on Iran, asking whether he wants to “go in and annihilate them,” while also saying he hopes the months-long war is nearing an end. Pags doesn't mince words about where he stands: If America is going to fight a war, he argues, the objecti...

Pags starts with Vice President JD Vance's message that the administration needs to do a better job highlighting what it sees as its wins before turning to a move that hits Americans directly in the wallet: the Federal Reserve just raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years. The Fed unanimously increased its benchmark rate by a quarter point to 3.75%–4%, citing persistent in...

Pags starts with the latest fight over the Kennedy Center after a federal judge again blocked President Trump's name from being added to the building, and Pags asks why this has become such a major argument in the first place. Then Thomas Massie's effort to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth gets pushed until after the midterms as the House leaves Washington early—and Pags wonders whether the whol...

Pags takes us live to North Carolina as President Trump hits the campaign trail for Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley, with the midterms now less than two months away. Pags explains why he believes Trump's agenda is effectively on the ballot in November and what control of Congress could mean for the administration's priorities. Then major new questions emerge one year after Charlie Kirk's...

Pags digs deeper into President Trump's $5,000 "dividend" promise as Speaker Mike Johnson tries to explain how it could actually happen. Congress would have to approve the payments, and Pags asks the question everyone wants answered: Could Americans really get these checks? Then former CIA officer Gary Berntsen joins Pags for Part 1 of an incredible look back at the hunt for Osama bin Laden after...

Pags starts with a rare Mitch McConnell sighting—and, of course, breaks out the Mitch impression—before diving back into the Lindsay Clancy case. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is now offering “asylum” to the lone holdout juror amid controversy surrounding him after the mistrial. Then the conversation turns to AI after layoffs hit two San Antonio television stations. Pags asks whether The Terminat...

Pags starts with breaking news from the Supreme Court on mail-ballot rules ahead of the 2026 midterms before impeachment takes center stage. Hakeem Jeffries isn't ruling out another Trump impeachment, while Rep. Al Green is moving to force a House-wide impeachment vote. Pags asks where the actual accountability is as the administration raises concerns about suspected fraud—and why more isn't being...
