Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

What if the food you’re eating was designed to keep you hooked? In this eye-opening interview, we break down how major food companies — many with direct ties to Big Tobacco — helped engineer products that are harder to stop eating, less healthy, and more profitable than ever. This isn’t just about junk food. It’s about how ingredients, flavors, and even textures have been carefully crafted to trigger cravings and keep you coming back for more. Why does it feel so hard to stop eating certain foods? Is it just willpower… or something much bigger? We dig into the connections between Big Tobacco, Big Food, and government oversight — and what it means for you and your family. If you’ve ever wondered why breaking bad eating habits feels nearly impossible, this conversation will change how you look at what’s on your plate.

Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens built massive platforms telling you they were America First. Now? They are pushing radical, anti-Western garbage that sounds like it was scripted by people who want to destroy us. What the hell happened to them?

We cover Candace’s vicious attacks on Charlie Kirk's family, Tucker’s pivot, and exactly who is pulling their strings right now.

Listen and share this episode, because they do not want this getting out.

Rogan O’Handley (DC Draino) joins Joe Pags to blow the whistle on what is really happening behind closed doors in the Senate. While they claim to support election integrity on TV, specific Republican Senators are quietly killing the SAVE Act—the only bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. In this episode: The Traitors: We name the specific GOP Senators (Thune, Cornyn, Curtis) stalling the bill and why they are doing it. The Fake Excuses: Why the "filibuster" defense is a lie designed to protect the uniparty. The Stakes: If this bill dies, millions of ineligible voters could decide the next election. The Money Trail: Who is funding the opposition to voter ID? (Hint: It’s not just Democrats). We are witnessing a betrayal of the American voter. Listen now to find out who needs to be held accountable. Quote of the episode: "John Thune doesn't want to do that... he is trying to run out the clock." — Rogan O'Handley

Former Colombo Crime Family Captain Michael Franzese breaks his silence on the removal of El Mencho and why the new Cartel leadership is a direct threat to American families. The Episode: You think you know what the Cartels are doing? You don't. Joe Pags sits down with the only man who can truly compare organized crime syndicates—Michael Franzese. They discuss the power vacuum left by El Mencho and why the rules of "The Game" have completely shattered. Franzese exposes the terrifying reality: The old code of "business first" is dead. The new Cartel bosses are operating with a level of brutality that makes the NY Mafia look like Boy Scouts—and their new target isn't just rival gangs. It's us. In this fearless conversation: The "Green Light": Is there an active order to target US citizens? Mob vs. Cartel: Franzese breaks down the specific tactical differences. The Invasion: Why the border crisis is actually a military staging ground. The Truth: What the government is hiding about the threat level on US soil.

NANCY GUTHRIE:  This was NOT some random act. Today, Victor Avila (Ret. ICE/HSI) joins me to expose the truth: Nancy Guthrie wasn't just "unlucky." She was surveilled, tracked, and targeted by a cartel network operating on U.S. soil. We discuss: The Evidence: Why the surveillance footage changes everything. The Tactic: How cartels are identifying targets in American suburbs. The Threat: Why this isn't about the border anymore—it's about your driveway. This is the conversation the media is too afraid to have.  

The Nancy Guthrie investigation didn't just go cold; it was sabotaged from the inside. Former FBI agent Dan Brunner joins Joe Pags to reveal the disastrous decision made by FBI Headquarters that overruled the agents on the ground. By releasing the doorbell video too early, did the Bureau give the kidnapper the signal he needed to destroy evidence and vanish? In this episode: The Fatal Mistake: Why releasing the video "tipped off" the suspect and allowed him to dump distinctive evidence. Agents vs. HQ: Brunner reveals that case agents begged leadership not to release the footage—and were ignored. The "Tip" Flood: How the FBI buried themselves in tens of thousands of useless leads while the real bad guy escaped. Sleeper Cells Activated: Brunner shifts gears to warn about CJNG operations in places like Montana and the specific "retaliation playbook" cartels are using to target Americans on U.S. soil.

Stop listening to the "cartel" narrative. It’s lazy and it's wrong. Today, legendary FBI Profiler James R. Fitzgerald (the man who caught the Unabomber) sits down with me to expose the terrifying profile behind the Nancy Guthrie abduction. We dismantle the mainstream talking points and look at the evidence: The "Mission Oriented" Motive: Why this wasn't about money or politics. The Stalking Profile: How predators use the "Walmart" technique to hunt. The Hard Truth: Why the lack of a ransom demand changes the entire investigation. This isn't a political debate. This is a hunt for a predator.

They told you 1979 was a revolution. Goldie Gamari says it wasn’t. It was an installation. In this explosive interview, Goldie breaks down what really happened in Iran when the Shah was pushed out, how the Ayatollah rose to power, and why many Iranians call it an Islamic coup—not a revolution. We talk about: Why Jimmy Carter backed the Ayatollah How Iran was once America’s strongest ally in the Middle East The deep historical relationship between Iran and Israel The difference between Iran and the Islamic regime Missed opportunities under Obama and Biden What President Trump could do now Why Iranians themselves are the “boots on the ground” Goldie explains why the Iranian people are fundamentally opposed to the regime ruling them—and why the world has been told the wrong story for decades.

Retired Lieutenant Randy Sutton (34-year law enforcement veteran and founder of TheWoundedBlue.org) joins me for a deep dive into what’s really happening inside the Pima County Sheriff’s Office — and why leadership chaos may be undermining one of the most disturbing missing-person cases in the country. We break down: The 98% no-confidence vote against Sheriff Chris Nanos Reports of prior FBI investigations inside the department Why the crime scene was initially treated as search-and-rescue The delay in fully involving the FBI The controversial handling of key forensic evidence Whether this was a targeted attack — and how many suspects may be involved Why the FBI appears publicly silent despite massive presence on the ground Was this bungled leadership… or something deeper?

If you want the facts — and an honest assessment from someone who’s worked homicide investigations for decades — this is the episode you need to hear.

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Joe Pags to break down the disturbing new developments in the abduction of Nancy Guthrie (Savannah Guthrie's mother). We go deep on why this wasn't a random crime or a botched robbery.

Key Topics: Why the family has been formally cleared The significance of the glove and DNA evidence Why the "Ransom" theory is dead The timeline of a "Personal Grudge" abduction

In this episode: The Raid: Why the police raided the Rio Rico compound. The Detainee: Who is "Carlos" and why is he doing a media tour?

A retired U.S. Army Green Beret who trained insurgents overseas says what’s happening in Minneapolis isn’t a protest. It follows the same tactics he saw in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eric Schwalm spent years teaching unconventional and insurgent warfare.

Joe Pags is joined by constitutional attorney Josh Hammer to break down what the law actually says — not the politics. We cover: • Can a governor face federal charges? • Did Minnesota obstruct ICE enforcement? • What the Insurrection Act really allows • Federal vs state power explained • And whether Walz is truly “safe” A handshake doesn’t erase potential liability — and this story may be far from over.                     Tim Walz, Donald Trump, ICE, immigration enforcement, Minnesota politics, federal charges, criminal liability, Insurrection Act, constitutional law, conservative podcast, Joe Pags Show, political analysis, breaking news politics

Can the President send in federal troops without Congress? When does federal authority override the states? And has Minnesota already crossed that line?

NewsNation anchor Leland Vittert joins Joe Pags for one of the most personal conversations he’s ever had on or off camera. For years, Leland worked in one of the highest-pressure jobs in television news while quietly battling anxiety, social confusion, and a constant sense that something was “off.” Only later in life did he discover the reason: autism. In this raw, no-spin interview, Leland walks through the moment he finally got his autism diagnosis – and how it instantly reframed his entire life story. From childhood signs everyone missed, to the coping mechanisms he built to survive live TV, to the pressure cooker of breaking news, Leland explains how being on the autism spectrum shaped his career, relationships, and mental health. Joe drills into the tough questions: – What did autism explain about his past behavior and struggles? – How did he manage the chaos of live cable news without a diagnosis? – What does “masking” look like for a high-profile news anchor? – Why did he decide to go public with this now – and what does he want bosses, coworkers, and viewers to understand about adults with autism? This is more than a media interview. It’s a blunt, honest look at late autism diagnosis, the realities of the news business, and what happens when someone finally gets the answers they’ve been chasing their whole life. Perfect for listeners who care about real conversations, the truth behind cable news, and the human side of mental health and neurodiversity.

Is the sudden push to reschedule marijuana about your health, or is it a calculated distraction from the collapse of our national sovereignty? In this episode, Joe connects the dots between two seemingly separate stories to reveal one active threat: Government wants to micromanage your life while they let the country burn. Part 1: The Border War (with Judge Ted Poe) The "Invasion" Reality: Judge Poe confirms what ICE agents are seeing on the ground—this is no longer migration; it is a coordinated military-grade takeover. The War Plan: How cartels are seizing territory and why local governments are helping them do it. Part 2: The Hypocrisy (with Kay Smythe) Freedom vs. Control: Kay Smythe exposes the convenient timing of the marijuana rescheduling push. The Real Agenda: Why the Feds are obsessing over regulating a plant while refusing to regulate the border. The Bottom Line: The betrayal is real. The threat is active. Who is the real enemy—the cartels invading us, or the politicians letting them in?

What happens when a cop gives 34 years to the badge… survives five shootings… then collapses from a stroke in the middle of his shift — only to have his own department refuse to pay his medical bills? Lieutenant Randy Sutton, the most-featured officer in COPS history and a Las Vegas Metro watch commander, tells Joe Pags the story no one in the media wants you to hear. In this raw, emotional conversation, Sutton reveals: • Why 85,000 American police officers were assaulted last year — nearly double from just six years ago • How radical police chiefs are refusing to cooperate with ICE while putting their own officers in danger • How politicians eliminated consequences for attacking cops — and why violent crime exploded • The untold suicide epidemic inside law enforcement — where more officers die by their own hand than in the line of duty • Why Sutton created The Wounded Blue, a charity that has already helped more than 16,000 injured and disabled officers who were abandoned by the system • The shocking moment Sutton collapsed from a stroke in his patrol car — and was told by his own agency: “This isn’t personal. It’s just business.” He also exposes how cops who are shot, paralyzed, or permanently disabled are being fired, denied treatment, losing their homes — and in some cases, wishing they had died instead. This episode will change how you see law enforcement forever. 🎧 Listen now. 📚 Get Randy’s book: Rescuing 911: The Fight for America’s Safety ❤️ Support injured officers at TheWoundedBlue.org

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.

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.
