Joe Pags takes on the heated debate swirling around Tim Walz, examining his rhetoric and asking why it consistently alienates large swaths of Americans. After JD Vance says people shouldn’t have to apologize for who they are, Pags brings the receipts, laying out years of mainstream media narratives that vilified entire groups. Then it’s some lighter-but-still-serious fun as a record-setting Powerball jackpot looms—lump sum or annuity? The crew can’t agree. Pags also breaks down an awkward moment from Keith Ellison, and finishes by fact-checking a viral claim about the Supreme Court of the United States. Sharp analysis, media accountability, and a can’t-miss hour.

After a closed-door meeting, Secretaries Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth step up for a press briefing on one of the most urgent national security threats right now: drug-running boats coming out of Venezuela. Pags asks the obvious question — who in their right mind is against stopping illegal drugs from flooding into the country? He also points out an inconvenient truth the media ignores: Obama authorized multiple strikes, and no one batted an eye because a president defending the country used to be considered normal. So why the outrage now? Pags breaks down the stunning reality that Democrats are actually siding with the drug runners, and explains exactly what’s going on. A sharp, eye-opening hour you cannot miss.
