HOUR 1:
Hegseth Battles Senate Democrats, $37.5 Billion Iran War Price Tag + Is America Still Untouchable?
Pags breaks down the explosive Senate hearing featuring War Secretary Pete Hegseth, where Democrats repeatedly clashed with the administration over military spending, the Iran conflict, and America's defense priorities. Pags highlights the hearing's most memorable exchanges, explains why he believes some senators were chasing viral moments instead of answers, and unpacks Hegseth's warning that the Iran war has already cost roughly $37.5 billion. He also asks why Congress wasn't pushing to rebuild America's military sooner, explores why the public still doesn't know everything about what led to the conflict with Iran, and explains why the hearing was ultimately about restoring U.S. military strength for future threats-not relitigating the past. Pags closes by making the case that this isn't Vietnam, arguing the United States still possesses unmatched military superiority and explaining why that matters going forward.
HOUR 2:
Socialism Comes for NYC? Jasmine Crockett's World Cup Claim + Ralph Pezzullo on Stolen Elections:
Pags sounds off on what he sees as a growing embrace of anti-American ideas on the left, reacting to New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani's proposals to cap profits and expand socialist-style economic policies. Pags breaks down, with real-world math, why he believes profit caps don't work in a free-market economy and what they could mean for businesses and consumers. He also reacts to Texas Rep. James Talarico's sharp criticism of law enforcement and weighs in on Rep. Jasmine Crockett's comments tying the World Cup to race and politics. Then, author Ralph Pezzullo joins the show to discuss Stolen Elections, a book inspired by the findings of former CIA officer Gary Berntsen. Pezzullo explains how election interference has occurred around the world, the methods he says have been used to influence outcomes, and what can be done to better protect future elections.
HOUR 3:
Non-Citizens Registered to Vote? Birthright Tourism Explained + Ralph Pezzullo Returns:
Pags reacts to New Jersey officials confirming that thousands of non-citizens were removed from the state's voter rolls, questioning why critics dismiss election integrity concerns while acknowledging those registrations occurred. He then breaks down the growing issue of birthright tourism, explains what it is, and looks at what Texas leaders are doing to discourage the practice. Pags also discusses House Speaker Mike Johnson's support for banning romantic relationships between members of Congress and congressional staff, arguing it's simply common sense. The crew wraps up with a lively debate over a viral video showing a Chicago Cubs fan confronting a younger fan during the National Anthem before author Ralph Pezzullo returns to explain how election interference has been carried out around the world, what his research uncovered, and what he believes can be done to safeguard future elections.
