Joe Pags and Erin Molan are back for another no-holds-barred conversation, starting with the shocking Flydubai cockpit incident involving a co-pilot accused of trying to bring down a plane — and the way parts of the media described it as merely a “fight.”

From there, Pags and Molan dig into how narratives get shaped, the difference between reporting and spin, the latest political battles involving Trump and Ken Paxton, and Erin’s own experience getting dragged into the political news cycle.

Two hosts. Two countries. Zero patience for nonsense.

One year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10, the void he left behind is impossible to ignore. Charlie didn’t merely reach young voters—he understood them, energized them and carried their concerns directly to President Trump and the Republican Party.

Joe Pags and Kay Hill examine what has happened without that voice: declining conservative morale, frustrated young voters, broken campaign promises, the war in Iran, rising fuel prices and a Republican Party that seems unable to explain what it will actually do for the American people.

Could Charlie’s absence help turn the 2026 midterms...

Independent journalist Richie McGinniss joins Joe Pags for a firsthand look back at January 6 from someone who was actually on the ground at the Capitol.

He also reveals that, after reviewing his own footage, he realized he had been standing right next to Ray Epps as Epps was leaving the area.

The conversation also digs into questions...

This conversation was recorded before the Lindsay Clancy jury reached an impasse. We now know the jury ultimately deadlocked 11–1 in favor of acquittal, leading the judge to declare a mistrial.

Robert Davi didn't just play Leonid Brezhnev in REAGAN — he had to become America's longest-serving Soviet enemy. And what he found shook him.

Davi says it wasn't an accident. Since the 1920s there was a deliberate plan to infect every aspect of American culture — and more money was put into America than anywhere else to do it. It's corrupt.

In this fearless conversation, Davi breaks down his transformation into Brezhnev, why the Soviet leader loved American TV, the Venona revelations and why the heads of institutions were compromised, how Hollywood studios quietly kill scripts and plan...

Are America’s political divisions becoming something far more dangerous?

Joe Pags sits down with Kay Hill to examine the forces she believes are deliberately destabilizing the country—from political violence and media manipulation to cultural breakdown, foreign influence, open-border policies and growing distrust of America’s institutions.

Hill argues that a modern “civil war” may not look like armies facing each other on a battlefield. Instead, she says the conflict is already playing out through propaganda, social division and Americans being encouraged to turn against one another.
