A political earthquake: Markwayne Mullin is in, Tony Gonzales is out—and Joe Pags breaks down the headlines shaking Washington and Texas politics. Many are now asking the big question: did Pags’ hard-hitting interview with Gonzales help end his political career? The fallout continues as Karoline Leavitt addresses reporters about the excitement surrounding Mullin’s new role, while Pags calls out the growing GOP infighting and urges conservatives to unite before the midterms. Then Ruthie Blum joins the show from Israel. She describes what life is like on the ground right now—how Israelis are reacting, why the mood in the country is different from conflicts like Iraq or Afghanistan, and what it’s like living with the constant threat of attacks and rushing to bomb shelters. A powerful firsthand account you won’t hear anywhere else.
