HOUR 1:
What REALLY Happened in the Austin ICE Shooting? + Pags Spots a HUGE Media-Ban Contradiction:
President Trump takes the world stage at the United Nations, but back home the ICE shooting in Austin is getting even more complicated. New details indicate the Venezuelan man involved initially stopped for ICE officers before driving away, and Pags wants to know why that critical part of the story has been so difficult to find in the coverage. Using reporting and video from Breanna Morello, the show digs past the headlines and into what actually happened, while Rep. Greg Casar continues speaking out about the shooting. Then the White House media fight takes another turn as Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighs in on the decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds. But Pags spots what he sees as a glaring contradiction: If these organizations are truly being "banned," how are their reporters still talking to administration officials-and continuing to get questions to Trump? The callers jump in as Pags takes on slanted coverage, media credibility and what Americans are actually being told.
HOUR 2:
Trump LAYS DOWN the Line on Iran at the UN + Chip Roy Breaks Down the Austin ICE Shooting:
President Trump takes his message straight to the United Nations, tackling Iran, illegal immigration around the world, the fight against drug cartels and what he sees as international institutions placing unfair burdens on countries. Iran takes center stage as Trump weighs another major decision and reiterates that Tehran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Pags praises the president for delivering that message directly to the global community and laying out exactly where America stands. The Austin ICE shooting also brings some practical advice: Getting stopped by law enforcement can absolutely suck, but Pags explains why staying calm and cooperating in the moment can keep a bad situation from becoming much worse. Then Rep. Chip Roy joins for an in-depth conversation about what happened in Austin, the controversy surrounding the White House's restrictions on several media outlets and Rep. Greg Casar's response to the shooting. Roy also takes on Casar's immigration position, including his support for creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
HOUR 3:
Trump Signs a HISTORIC Greenland Deal + Why Are Interest Rates Going UP?!
The Sound Byte of the Night delivers an instant classic when Vice President JD Vance accidentally calls the "far left" the "fart left"-and even Vance can't help but acknowledge the slip. Then it's back to serious business as President Trump continues laying out his fight against international drug cartels before signing a major security agreement with Denmark and Greenland that significantly expands America's military presence on the island, including two new U.S. defense areas. Meanwhile, the White House's new 24/7 "Trump TV" YouTube stream is already generating plenty of controversy amid the ongoing fight with major media outlets. Then economist Vance Ginn, a former White House chief economist, joins for a deep dive into something hitting every American's wallet: interest rates. The Federal Reserve just raised its benchmark rate for the first time in more than three years as it tries to bring persistent inflation under control. What does that mean for mortgages, credit cards, borrowing and prices? Is today's economy actually stronger than it was under Biden? And how can raising interest rates ultimately help bring inflation back down? Ginn breaks down the economics in a way everyone can understand.
