It's Free Speech Friday, and Joe Pags isn't holding back after internal CBC guidance reportedly tells journalists not to describe 9/11 as a "terrorist attack." Pags' response is simple: It WAS a terrorist attack—and he asks what has happened to Canada. Then the long-running 9/11 case takes another stunning turn as a judge rejects Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confession, prompting Pags to unload on Miranda rights, terrorism and a justice process still dragging on nearly 25 years later. AOC enters the conversation before the phones absolutely light up, with Pags taking on callers from every direction. Plus, Mike Waltz weighs in on the escalating U.S.-Canada trade war, President Trump responds to the questions surrounding America's beef supply, and listeners get the final word in a packed Free Speech Friday.

Pags opens with the sad news that Peter Cullen, the legendary voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers, has died at 85 before turning to Jelly Roll's decision to slam President Trump. Is he alienating half his audience—and whatever happened to entertainers simply entertaining? Then Pags takes a different angle on President Trump renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America" amid the U.S.-Canada trade fight: Why? What does it actually accomplish? Finally, XX-XY Athletics CEO Jennifer Sey joins Pags right in the middle of the exploding WNBA controversy. From Sophie Cunningham speaking out, to Enes Kanter Freedom being thrown out of a WNBA game, to the league declaring Kanter Freedom and Royce White ineligible for the draft, Sey says the entire mess exposes a much bigger question the WNBA needs to answer: What exactly makes someone eligible to compete in a women's league? Sey breaks down the fight over biological sex, the league's response, and why she believes this moment could have huge consequences for women's sports. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pags kicks things off with the latest chapter of "Ballgate" as President Trump gets the green light to continue White House ballroom construction—for now—and answers reporters' questions about the project. Then things get wonderfully off the rails: Pags battles technology, talks Jason Statham, and flashes back to his days as a news reporter for a hilarious conversation about all the names and words broadcasters desperately try not to mispronounce on the air. Sam has her own technology meltdown over devices that seemingly listen to everything you say just to serve you another ad—and callers quickly reveal she's definitely not alone. Then Pags turns to the Karmelo Anthony case, where a judge is considering previously unheard evidence as Anthony seeks a new trial, and explains what could happen next. Finally, Pags takes on Rep. Greg Casar, arguing that his rhetoric on immigration shows far more concern for people in the country illegally than the Americans he's supposed to represent. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pags takes on Eric Swalwell and contrasts him with Texas Rep. Brandon Gill, arguing Gill represents exactly the kind of fighter Republicans need while Swalwell represents everything wrong with the Washington swamp. Pags asks whether there will ever be real accountability surrounding Swalwell and has a message for Californians moving to Texas: Come on over—but don't bring California's politics with you. Then the show heads to Georgia, where Atlanta's mayor is furious after the city was snubbed by the DNC, leaving Pags wondering whether Democrats are now accusing their own party of racism. He also revisits Georgia's controversial election results and explains why he still questions how the state's two Democratic senators ended up in Washington. Then Pags brings the receipts on Florida Democrat Angie Nixon, comparing clips that he says reveal a dramatic change in how she speaks depending on the audience. Finally, the FBI says it stopped an ISIS-inspired plot to bomb New York's Capitol building—an alarming story Pags says deserves everyone's attention. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pags turns the show over to a major night in South Carolina as President Trump rallies behind Darline Graham and explains exactly why he's throwing his support behind her. Pags brings you Trump's remarks LIVE, reacting in real time to the biggest moments and what the endorsement could mean for Graham's political future. The phones light up as listeners weigh in on whether she's the right person for the job and what Trump's backing means for the race. Plus, Trump addresses the ongoing White House ballroom battle and makes clear that construction is moving forward—for now. It's a live, unpredictable hour of Trump, Graham, politics and plenty of reaction from Pags and listeners across America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
