The Joe Pags Show

Joe Pags cuts through the chaos around the Minneapolis immigration enforcement story with the facts you aren’t hearing elsewhere. Karoline Leavitt says federal investigators are pursuing the Alex Pretti shooting and that Homeland Security and the FBI are reviewing the case, while insisting that no one wants to see civilians die and calling for cooperation between federal and local law enforcement. At the same time, reports say Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and some agents are being pulled out of Minneapolis, signaling a shift in the federal approach amid mounting backlash over aggressive enforcement and conflicting on-the-ground accounts.

Then Pags brings on Mehek Cooke, an immigration attorney with deep expertise in deportation law and federal authority. She breaks down the due process rights for illegal aliens, what the Insurrection Act actually says, whether events in Minneapolis could meet the legal threshold for invoking it, and why it hasn’t been used yet. Cooke gives listeners a legal roadmap through the controversy you haven’t heard before — clarifying the law vs. the headlines in one electrifying conversation.

The Russia–Ukraine war has now crossed one million casualties, and Joe Pags asks the question no one else will: why is this still happening and what’s the actual endgame? With Volodymyr Zelenskyy claiming a U.S. security agreement is “100% ready” to be signed, Pags breaks down what that really means for America, Ukraine, and global stability—and whether this war can realistically be resolved. Then, truth gets stranger than fiction as the National Guard is caught handing out coffee and donuts to protesters—yes, really—leaving Pags stunned at how upside-down things have become. Finally, Kay Hill joins the show to tackle Europe’s bold claim that it no longer needs the United States. Can Britain and the EU actually survive without American power, money, and security? Everyone knows the answer—but Kay and Pags explain why, in a way that makes this a must-hear hour.

Joe Pags is red-hot this Free Speech Friday, unloading a blistering call-out of local San Antonio officials and others pushing false narratives. Then he dismantles one of the most misleading claims of the week—the left’s lie about ICE, falsely accusing agents of detaining a 5-year-old child. Pags lays out the actual facts the media refuses to tell you: an illegal immigrant father abandoned his child, and ICE was blamed anyway. Why won’t the left talk about the truth? Pags rips the media for spreading misinformation, calls out the hypocrisy, and shuts down the rhetoric with facts. A must-hear, full-throttle hour.

Then the main event: Wesley Hunt joins Pags in studio to address the hot controversy trending today—questions about missed votes as he eyes a Texas Senate run.

President Donald Trump backs Anna Paulina Luna as she stands firm demanding action on the SAVE Act—and Joe Pags asks the question everyone’s asking: why hasn’t Trump endorsed anyone yet in the Texas GOP Senate race? Then it’s rapid-fire headlines you won’t hear framed this way: a contractor indicted on six counts for allegedly leaking classified information to The Washington Post; the House Oversight Committee expanding its probe into massive Minnesota fraud—with Pags revealing signs that California may be the next fraud bombshell; and Don Lemon making waves again by calling Nicki Minaj a racist—prompting Pags to say enough.

VP J.D. Vance travels to Minnesota, and Joe Pags says this is leadership Americans want to see—up close, on the ground, and unapologetic.

President Donald Trump makes waves at Davos, announcing (via Truth Social and in remarks to reporters) that he and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte have agreed to a “framework of a future deal” related to Greenland and the wider Arctic—so big he says it’s enough to pause planned tariffs that were set to start February 1. Joe Pags breaks down what’s actually been said, what’s still unknown, and why Greenland keeps coming up in the national security conversation. Then Pags pivots to a separate trending story out of Texas: why a familiar winter-freeze controversy is resurfacing again right now, and what’s driving the renewed outrage.
