HOUR 1:
Spain's Border Crisis Explodes, Trump Weighs In + What's Holding Up Todd Blanche?
Pags breaks down the immigration crisis unfolding in Spain, explaining how the surge of migrants has sparked political turmoil across Europe before bringing you President Trump's reaction and the biggest moments from his remarks. Pags argues the situation mirrors years of lax border enforcement under the Biden administration and asks whether countries can survive without expecting newcomers to assimilate into their culture. He also reacts to an exclusive report on Temporary Protected Status, explaining why he believes the word "temporary" should actually mean something. Then Pags dives into the growing battle over Todd Blanche's confirmation, examining who's standing in the way, why some Senate Republicans are urging President Trump not to delay the nomination, and what Trump had to say from Camp David about getting his nominee confirmed. The show also features Trump's comments on what he calls the weaponization of government under the Biden administration, Marco Rubio's latest foreign policy update from the Cabinet meeting, and a surprising legal twist as prosecutors move to drop charges against Olympian David Hearn after acknowledging the National Mall's reflecting pool damage may have been caused by a flawed installation rather than criminal conduct.
HOUR 2:
America's Spending Crisis, Iran Threatens Oil + Rich Valdés Sounds Off on Mamdani:
Pags delivers one of his most passionate monologues yet, asking how America can keep spending trillions of dollars without driving straight into a fiscal disaster. He reacts to President Trump's comments on the cyberattack in Minnesota, Trump's pledge to rapidly rebuild the U.S. military after years of depleted stockpiles, and warns that if Washington doesn't get spending under control, a financial reckoning is inevitable. Pags also breaks down the latest spike in oil prices after Iran threatened shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, checks in on the latest DOGE developments, and opens the phones for listener reactions. Then New York radio host Rich Valdés joins the program for a deep dive into the political transformation of New York City. They discuss Zohran Mamdani's agenda, his controversial comments about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the growing concerns surrounding his policies, whether New Yorkers are finally reaching a breaking point, what role Gov. Kathy Hochul plays in the city's future, and whether there's still a path for voters to change course.
HOUR 3:
Kamala Wants to Rewrite the Rules? + The Ancient History They Never Taught You:
It's Free Speech Friday, and Joe Pags kicks things off with his always-entertaining Dopes of the Day before turning his attention to Kamala Harris' latest call to rethink the Electoral College, asking whether anyone is actually buying what she's selling. He also reacts to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's comments about being "selective" with media appearances-even as she sat down on Michelle Obama's podcast-raising questions about media access and transparency. Then explorer and researcher Mike Collins joins the program for a mind-blowing conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about ancient history. After visiting more than 300 archaeological sites around the world, Collins explains why he believes humans were living in the Americas at least 12,000 years ago, shares discoveries that mainstream history often overlooks, and reveals evidence that could completely change the way we understand our past.
