HOUR 1:
Why Are Kids Starting School in THIS Heat?! + The WNBA Faces a Decision It Can't Avoid:
Pags asks a question a lot of Texas parents are probably thinking: Why are we sending kids back to school in the middle of brutal summer heat? As Texas lawmakers revive a push for later start dates, Pags and the crew debate why school calendars vary so wildly across the country-and whether having football players and other student athletes practicing outside in extreme August temperatures makes any sense at all. Then, why is the WNBA suddenly dominating headlines? A league task force is reportedly examining its policies surrounding transgender athletes, potentially forcing the WNBA to confront one of the biggest questions facing women's sports. The crew jumps into the debate, the phones light up, and listeners from across America have PLENTY to say.
HOUR 2:
A Trans Matrix Reboot Nobody Will Fund?! + Sid Rosenberg Unloads on Mamdani's NYC:
Pags dives into a bizarre new Matrix project with one pretty massive caveat: the creators want an all-trans cast-and they're struggling to get it funded. Then Pags warns everyone not to get mad before tackling a story he thinks is just plain dumb: the Kennedy Center voting to restore President Trump's name despite a judge's order. Is the "TYFYATTM Center" next? Pags has some fun with it before turning serious as the White House asks the Supreme Court for a speedy decision in its battle over mail-in voting-and Pags is VERY happy to see the issue getting attention. Then legendary New York radio host Sid Rosenberg joins the show and brings the real NYC temperature check. Are actual New Yorkers getting fed up with Zohran Mamdani? What do they think about his pied-à-terre tax push? Is his agenda driving people out of the city? And could Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really become president? Sid spills the beans on Mamdani, AOC, the state of the inner city and what New Yorkers are really saying when the cameras aren't around.
HOUR 3:
Is Tucker Carlson Getting Ready to RUN?! + Josh Hammer on the Explosive SPLC Case:
Pags dives into the viral Luigi Mangione story as a surprise federal hearing fuels reports that a plea deal may be coming-and he has some thoughts for the women romanticizing accused killers online. Then, what happened to Tucker Carlson? Pags remembers when Tucker was must-see television, but now Carlson has released a 10-point manifesto for America after previously floating the idea of a new political party. Is this just a political platform-or the beginning of a Tucker 2028 campaign? Pags goes through the list and takes on the narrative point by point. Pags also reacts to the latest fraud crackdown and calls for something Americans rarely seem to see: actual perp walks and handcuffs. Finally, Article III Project senior counsel Josh Hammer joins the program to dig into the stunning federal allegations against the Southern Poverty Law Center, which prosecutors accuse of secretly funneling millions in donor money to people associated with extremist groups-allegations the SPLC denies. Hammer breaks down what prosecutors say happened, where the money allegedly went and why the case matters. Then he and Pags tackle Tucker's 10-point plan and what it could mean for the future of the conservative movement.
