Behavioral scientist and best-selling author Dr. Gad Saad joins Joe Pags for a deep, eye-opening conversation about how propaganda, ideology, and manipulation have taken over modern society.

They explore:


How advertising and media subtly control what we think and believe


Why false ideas spread like parasites in the human mind


How NYC elected Zohran Mamdani — and what that reveals about today’s voter psychology


The rise of radical thought and how it threatens Western values


Whether reason and free speech can still survive in an age of emotional tribalism

Dr. Saad breaks down the psychology behind influence, identity, and power — and Joe challenges him on how Americans can reclaim independent thought.

🔥 A must-listen for anyone who refuses to be programmed by the culture.

What happens when a former TV news anchor joins the other side and starts a campaign to tell the truth? The left freaks out does everything it can to shut him up. They swatted him. They cancelled him on social media. They did everything they could to silence him. It didn’t work.

Dr. Gad Saad: The Power of Influence and How Minds Get Manipulated

Independent filmmaker Chad O. Jackson joins Joe Pags to discuss his controversial documentary on Martin Luther King Jr. — a project that challenges the widely accepted narrative surrounding the civil rights icon.

Jackson lays out his research into MLK’s speeches, inner circle, political influences, and the broader power structures operating during the Civil Rights era. The conversation explores claims of ghostwriting, ideological movements inside the church, and why certain historical narratives are elevated while others are buried.

This is a calm, fact-driven discussion that asks a difficult question:
Who controls history — and why?

Listeners are encouraged to examine the evidence, question long-held assumptions, and decide for themselves.

Islamic extremists opened fire on Jews celebrating Hanukkah on one of Australia’s most famous beaches.

Podcast host and commentator Erin Molan was less than a kilometer away — on her balcony with her child — when she heard the gunshots.

In this powerful conversation, Erin explains why this attack was not a surprise, how warnings about rising Islamic extremism were ignored, and why government failure allowed targeted violence against the Jewish community to escalate.

We discuss:


The Hanukkah terror attack in Australia


Why Jews were deliberately targeted


Erin’s firsthand account of hearing the gunshots


ISIS ideology and extremist threats


Government inaction and leadership failure


Why blaming gun laws misses the real issue

This is not a headline recap.
It’s a firsthand warning — and a conversation that needed to happen.

Senator Ron Johnson (R–WI) joins Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags to explain why health insurance costs keep rising — even after years of promises that Obamacare would make care cheaper and more accessible.

Johnson breaks down how government subsidies distorted the insurance market, why premiums and deductibles exploded, and how insurance companies quietly benefited while families paid more. He explains why many policies exist only “on paper,” how incentives were flipped upside down, and what real reform would actually look like.

This is a clear, no-nonsense conversation about how the system works, who it serves, and why Americans continue to lose — regardless of what politicians promised.
