Sen. John Cornyn is confronted in Austin by a Democrat pushing what Joe Pags calls a completely false narrative. Pags breaks down the moment and explains why listeners shouldn’t fall for the spin. Then news breaks that Greg Bovino is set to retire, and Pags lays out what it means as President Trump continues what he calls a broader effort to clean house across federal leadership. Then Robert Spencer joins the show for a powerful and eye-opening conversation. They dive into the NYC bombing plot and Mayor Mamdani’s controversial response, the Michigan synagogue attacker whose “family members” were later identified as Hezbollah operatives, and the growing debate over how media and political leaders talk about Islamist terrorism. Spencer also addresses warnings about potential sleeper cells tied to Iran and extremist networks—and what it could mean for the U.S. homeland. A revealing discussion about security, ideology, and why events like the Austin 6th Street attack could happen again if the threat isn’t taken seriously.
