Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

Joe Pags and Australian broadcaster Erin Molan team up as equal co-hosts to confront the hypocrisy dominating the week’s biggest stories.

Why is Macklemore celebrated as courageous after the controversy surrounding his removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour—while Sydney Sweeney is attacked for appearing in an advertisement? Joe and Erin expose the dishonest framing, selective outrage and glaring double standard behind both reactions.

They also take on the deeply disturbing Lindsay Clancy case, the growing divide inside the America First movement, and Gavin Newsom’s revealing comments about Kamala Harris and the presidency.

Four major stories. One unmistakable pattern—and absolutely no holding back from Pags and Molan.

Former Democratic insider and major fundraiser Lindy Li pulls back the curtain on the Biden White House—and names the people she says were truly wielding power while Joe Biden declined.

Lindy tells Joe Pags why she believes Jill Biden and senior aide Anthony Bernal were calling the shots, how Biden’s inner circle allegedly threatened her before a television appearance, and what happened after she publicly said Biden needed to leave the presidential race.

She also reveals what she heard during private donor calls, how Democratic powerbrokers financially forced Biden out, why she was exiled after raising millions for the party, and the alleged legal threat she received from Ashley Biden.

It’s an explosive firsthand account of power, intimidation, betrayal and the collapse of trust inside the Democratic Party. Lindy Li’s new book is Unburdened.

Former CIA commander Gary Berntsen led counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks—and personally pursued Osama bin Laden into the mountains of Tora Bora.

In this explosive conversation with Joe Pags, Berntsen reveals what the CIA knew before 9/11, the missed opportunities to eliminate bin Laden, and the extraordinary orders he received after the attacks. He explains how his team cornered bin Laden, why he requested 800 Army Rangers to block the escape route, and what happened when that support never arrived.

Berntsen also addresses Pakistan’s role, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the decisions that allowed America’s most wanted terrorist to remain free for nearly another decade.

This is the inside story from the man who was there.

Retired Secret Service agent Darin Kinder spent 25 years protecting America—and on September 11, 2001, his office was inside World Trade Center 7. As New York came under attack, Kinder ran toward the devastation and helped save lives.

Kinder joins Joe Pags to share his firsthand account of that horrifying morning, the courageous people he encountered and the events that changed America forever.

Then retired NYPD Sergeant and Blue Lives Matter NYC founder Joe Imperatrice joins the conversation to examine what happened to New York in the years that followed. How did a city that once united behind its police officers and first responders become a place where criminals are emboldened and cops are treated like the enemy?

Two powerful conversations about heroism, sacrifice, remembrance—and what New York has become since that fateful day.

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 into a Republican bloodbath? And is there anyone capable of rebuilding the coalition he helped create?

This is both a remembrance of Charlie Kirk’s extraordinary influence and an urgent warning to a movement that may be losing its way.

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.

Richie describes what he saw as the crowd moved toward the Capitol, how quickly the scene changed, and why he believes a relatively small number of agitators could have helped trigger a much larger chaotic response.

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 surrounding plainclothes law-enforcement presence, who was arrested, who received lighter treatment, and Richie’s ongoing research into individuals who were at the Capitol that day. Richie specifically says he has been investigating Ray Epps and others he believes “got off easy.”

Joe and Richie separate what Richie personally witnessed from the questions he is still investigating — and ask the bigger question:

Do we really know the full story of January 6?

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.

That makes this discussion with Nico LaHood even more fascinating in hindsight.

LaHood — a former Bexar County District Attorney who now works as a defense attorney — examines the Clancy case from both sides of the courtroom. He explains how he would have approached the prosecution, how he would have defended Clancy, the strengths and weaknesses facing each side, and the questions jurors were likely wrestling with as they deliberated.

Joe Pags and Nico also dig into the legal strategy, the evidence, the defense’s case, and what could happen next if prosecutors decide to try Lindsay Clancy again.

Now that we know the jury came within one vote of acquittal, listen back to this conversation and hear the case through the eyes of someone who has sat on both sides of the courtroom.

Sen. Ted Cruz joins Joe Pags for a wide-ranging conversation about the fight inside the Republican Party over the SAVE America Act—and why it still hasn’t reached a Senate vote.

Cruz tells Pags that Republicans don’t currently have the votes they need and identifies Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis as two senators firmly opposed. He also explains what he thinks Senate leadership should do next, including whether Republicans should force Democrats into an actual standing filibuster.

The conversation goes much further: Cruz discusses his once-brutal rivalry with President Trump and how their relationship changed, the battle for control of the Senate, the Democratic Party’s move to the left, his family’s experience with communism in Cuba, the fight for school choice, and the remarkable life and legacy of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

It’s Ted Cruz unfiltered on Trump, the GOP, the SAVE Act, the Senate—and where the country goes from here.

The Joe Pags Show — Unshaken. Unafraid.

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 plant propaganda, and why centralized education is Evidence Destroyed about who we are.

From classrooms where kids are told the flag means white supremacy and come home saying they're ashamed to be white, to videos telling them 9-11 never happened, to a generation that has lost the imagery of America — Davi connects it all.

This isn't a movie interview. It's a warning about the threat already inside.

No scripts. No filters. Just straight truth.

Evidence Destroyed — the medical ruling they never wanted you to hear.

Investigative journalist Liz Collin (Alpha News) joins Joe Pags to reveal what was buried in the George Floyd case: the Hennepin County medical examiner's original finding — filed within 12 hours of death — that George Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest with no asphyxiation and no life-threatening injuries. Hidden for five days.

Liz breaks down why the case was illegally transferred to Attorney General Keith Ellison without a grand jury, why body camera footage was withheld for two and a half months, and how a $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota connects to a state that charges cops while fraudsters walk.

If the autopsy was suppressed, what else was?

Kay Hill joins Joe Pags to break down the shifting cultural landscape and why comedians like Shane Gillis are completely upending traditional media narrative control. Joe and Kay dive into why mainstream outlets are struggling to handle unfiltered humor, how audience tastes are rapidly evolving, and what this anti-establishment shift in entertainment means for the broader political conversation.

AI surveillance cameras are quietly spreading across American streets—logging license plates, tracking vehicle movements, and building massive databases without public oversight or Fourth Amendment protections. In this episode, Joe Pags is joined by Alessi Allaman to break down the rapid growth of the Flock Safety network, real-world cases of wrongful arrests due to technology errors, and how local communities can take action at city council meetings to protect their privacy rights.

Out of hundreds of major archaeological digs in Israel, not one discovery contradicts the biblical text." Dinesh D'Souza joins Joe Pags to lay out the physical evidence — inscriptions, clay seals, and 4,000-year-old writings pulled straight from the ground — that shatters the "imposter Jew" myth and the modern anti-Israel narrative once and for all.

Inside this episode:

• The ancient inscription that pulled a Bible "cameo" — Balaam, son of Beor — into verified history
• Why secular academia keeps downplaying discoveries that align with Scripture
• How the Bible is the only religious text ever put under archaeological scrutiny — and why it survives
• The uncomfortable truth about "Palestine," the Philistines, and who actually colonized the Holy Land
• Why God cares about a tiny sliver of land — and what's really driving the new Islamic political push in America

D'Souza walks through his new book, The Stones Cry Out: Biblical Archaeology, Prophecy, and the Last Days — and explains why 200 years of skepticism has left the critics "without a weapon."

Did history in North America really start just a few hundred years ago, or is there physical proof of advanced human civilization dating back thousands of years?

In this episode, explorer, author, and filmmaker Mike Collins joins Joe Pags to unpack one of the most intriguing—and ignored—ancient sites in the country: the Sage Wall in Montana. Measuring 275 feet long and 25 feet high, this massive megalithic structure has been virtually bypassed by mainstream academia for nearly three decades. 

Joe and Mike dive into the pushback against rewriting ancient history, the gatekeeping within establishment archaeology, site preservation issues at Göbekli Tepe, and why the conventional narrative around human history may be built on a flawed foundation.
