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.

How Mamdani Took NYC—and What It Means for Police

Congressman Byron Donalds joins Joe Pags for a wide-ranging, serious conversation about power, control, and why so many American systems feel broken at the same time.

This episode goes far beyond headlines. Donalds explains how political incentives — not compassion or incompetence — drive decisions in Washington, from immigration policy to law enforcement, health care, and federal overreach. He walks through how narratives are manufactured, why enforcement is selectively applied, and how government power quietly expands while accountability disappears.

The discussion touches on immigration and border enforcement, but also zooms out to the deeper issues:
• how incentives shape policy
• why “temporary” government powers never go away
• how control replaces representation
• and what happens when common sense is pushed out of policymaking

Donalds also talks about Florida’s governance model, why it’s working when other states are struggling, and why leadership — not slogans — determines outcomes.

If you’re trying to understand why things feel off in the country, and why the same failures keep repeating no matter the issue, this conversation connects the dots.

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.
