Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

The source is real, and he's here. After weeks of speculation about Nick Shirley's reporting, David Hoch joins the show to verify the story himself. We dive into the specific documents, the $100 Billion number, and the backlash he's faced since the story broke. No filters. Just the source, the evidence, and the answers you've been waiting for.

Is the sudden blackout in Iran just a technical failure, or the signal for a massive internal revolution?

General Michael Flynn returns to the show to reveal what the mainstream media is missing. We dive into the specific signs of an internal overthrow happening right now, why this blackout is the "start pistol" for regime change, and how it connects to the broader global chess game involving Venezuela and China.

In this fearless conversation:

• The Blackout: Why Flynn believes this is a coordinated signal, not an accident.
• The Regime: The specific indicators that the Mullahs are losing control.
• The Global Trap: How this connects to the 2024 landscape and the fight for America's future.

No scripts. No filters. Just the raw truth with General Flynn.

Is this the end of the Ayatollahs? While the Western media tells you the protests are over, 90 million Iranians are proving them wrong.

In this episode, Joe Pags goes inside the media blackout with filmmaker Nicole Sadighi to reveal the smuggled evidence of a regime on the brink of collapse.

We discuss:

• The undeniable signs the regime is cracking.
• Why the West is protecting the Ayatollahs.
• The "Forensic" truth: Is the revolution actually happening?

Listen to the story they don't want you to hear.

Minneapolis officials called it "murder." The media ran with the narrative. But newly released video tells a very different story.

In this explosive interview, Joe Pags sits down with investigative journalist Liz Collin of Alpha News to break down the full, unedited dashcam footage of the ICE shooting that city leaders never wanted you to see.

Liz walks through the evidence:

• The Tape vs. The Tale: What the video actually shows in the seconds before shots were fired.
• The Cover-Up: How officials shaped a narrative that ignored critical evidence.
• The Stakes: Why this case matters for every cop, every agent, and every American who cares about due process.

Bottom Line: This wasn't an accident. It was a coordinated smear campaign. Listen as we expose the lie.

You have been programmed. The history books are being rewritten, and it’s not an accident—it’s a calculated plan. In this episode, Joe Pags sits down with Professor Wilfred Reilly to expose the "History Hoax" currently sweeping through America’s education system.

We break the national narrative and reveal the specific evidence the mainstream media refuses to show you.

Don't let them control the narrative. Listen now to get the exclusive intel they don't want you to hear.

While the mainstream media paints the Minneapolis ICE shooting suspect as an innocent activist, Rep. Tony Gonzales joins me to destroy that narrative with cold, hard facts. We aren't just talking about a lone wolf; we are exposing a coordinated, radical playbook that is operating on US soil right now.

In this exclusive breakdown, we reveal:

• The "Terrorist Playbook": Tony explains how the tactics used against ICE agents mirror the strategies used by terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• The Truth About "ICE Watch": Why this isn't just a protest group, but what Gonzales calls a "radical leftist activist" network endangering American lives.
• The National Threat: We connect the dots between this attack, the Tren de Aragua gang presence in all 50 states, and the "well-structured machine" working to unravel America from the inside.
• The Minneapolis Cover-Up: Why the camera angles and evidence are being suppressed by the Leftist narrative machine.

The Bottom Line: If you want to know who is really funding and organizing the chaos in our streets, you cannot afford to miss this conversation.

A Venezuelan insider joins Joe to drop a bombshell that the mainstream media ignores: Maduro wasn't even born in Venezuela. We break down the evidence that he is a Colombian national illegally holding power and operating as a puppet for foreign enemies.

This isn't just about a foreign election; it's about national security, the border, and the terror threat sitting in our own hemisphere.

Minnesota doesn’t just have a little corruption problem – it has a multi‑billion‑dollar fraud machine. And today, the man who helped expose it goes on the record.

In this explosive conversation, whistleblower Dustin Grage joins Joe Pags to lay out how Minnesota bureaucrats, nonprofits, and political power players presided over a fraud operation worth up to $9 billion – and why Governor Tim Walz cannot honestly claim he “didn’t know.”

You’ll hear:

• How the Minnesota fraud operation was set up, step‑by‑step – who signed what, where the money went, and why nobody in power stopped it
• Why warnings were ignored, red flags were buried, and honest people were threatened or sidelined
• The specific agencies, programs, and “nonprofits” that became cash hoses for insiders and political allies
• What Dustin personally saw that convinced him this wasn’t incompetence – it was a system
• How Tim Walz and his team tried to spin, distract, and delay once the scandal started breaking
• Why this isn’t just a “Minnesota problem” – and what it tells us about government, elections, and your tax dollars nationwide

If you’ve heard headlines about “Minnesota fraud” and “Feeding Our Future” but never understood how the pieces connect, this interview is the deep dive you were never supposed to get. Names. Dates. Documents. A whistleblower who watched it happen in real time.

Stay to the end for:

• Dustin’s message to Minnesotans who feel betrayed
• What accountability would actually look like – from audits, to prosecutions, to Tim Walz himself
• What needs to change so this kind of multi‑billion‑dollar theft of public money can’t happen again

This is not opinion radio. This is a first‑hand witness walking you through one of the biggest fraud stories in America – and the governor who wants you to believe he’s just a bystander.

Listen, share, and send this episode to anyone still defending Tim Walz or pretending this scandal is “old news.”

Follow Joe Pags for more fearless conversations on national security, government overreach, crime, culture, the border, and the fight for America’s future.

The man who shot Bin Laden just walked you through the secret Maduro operation they NEVER told you the truth about.

In this unfiltered, long‑form conversation, Rob O’Neill (SEAL Team Six) joins Joe Pags to break down:

• How a real Maduro takedown mission actually went down on the ground
• What it means to “turn off Venezuela for five hours” – and why that matters
• How Trump’s Venezuela strategy sends a message to China, Russia, and every dictator watching
• What Delta Force and SEAL Team operators really do when they hit a target
• The media lies, leaks, and spin around Venezuela, Maduro, and U.S. power

No scripts. No corporate filters. Just a Bin Laden raid hero explaining how this operation really works – and what it tells us about America’s future, our enemies, and our weak leadership.

If you care about national security, special operations, Trump’s foreign policy, and the fight for America’s strength on the world stage, this is a must‑hear episode.

Listen all the way through, then share it with one person who still believes what cable news says about Venezuela.

Is America being taken down on purpose?

In this hard‑hitting conversation, Joe Pags sits down with James Simpson, author of “Manufactured Crisis: The War to End America,” to lay out how a coordinated, long‑term plan is targeting the United States from the inside.

Simpson details how the same failed ideas that destroyed other countries are now being imported into our government, our culture, and our borders — and why this is not an accident.

In this episode, Joe and James dig into:

• How “manufactured crises” are used to overwhelm our systems and erase our sovereignty
• The real purpose behind border chaos, crime spikes, and economic pressure
• Lawfare, censorship, and the weaponization of government against political opponents
• How media and Big Tech help keep voters in the dark
• Why the Venezuela model is a warning about where this road ends
• What ordinary Americans can still do to push back and save the country

This is not doom‑and‑gloom — it’s a clear warning and a battle plan.

If you’re tired of being lied to by the media and political class, you need to hear what James Simpson lays out in this interview.

Minnesota taxpayers were robbed — and a web of fake Somali “daycare” and “learning centers” is right in the middle of it. First I break down the Somali daycare fraud you’ve seen all over X, and then investigative journalist Liz Collin joins me with the receipts on how this scandal really works and who allowed it to happen.

We start with shocking new footage from Nick Shirley showing “daycares” that are supposed to be full of kids… sitting completely empty. No children. No cars. Just a misspelled “Quality Learning Center” sign and YOUR money on the line. Then Liz Collin explains how this ties into Minnesota’s massive fraud problem — from Feeding Our Future to political insiders and possible terror financing.

In this episode:

• How the Somali daycare fraud scheme was set up in Minnesota
• Empty “learning centers” and red flags the state ignored
• Where the $250M+ in taxpayer money really went
• The role of Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota officials
• Why whistleblowers and honest Somali families were silenced
• How this could connect to Al-Shabaab and national security
• What this means for future elections and your tax dollars

This isn’t just a Minnesota story — if they can pull off a Somali daycare scam this big in one state, they can do it anywhere. Watch, share, and make sure every taxpayer you know sees this.

Liz Collin joins at 10:42.

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.

Topics: autism diagnosis, late diagnosis, autism spectrum, news media, NewsNation, mental health, anxiety, masking, high-pressure careers, personal story.

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.

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.

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.

Former Congressman, judge, and prosecutor Louie Gohmert joins Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags to explain why he believes one of the most serious scandals in American history went largely unnoticed.

Gohmert details what he says was a coordinated effort by the DOJ and FBI to secretly obtain phone records, silence whistleblowers, and bypass constitutional safeguards — actions he argues were worse than Watergate in both scale and consequence.

He explains how subpoenas were used instead of warrants, why members of Congress were kept in the dark, and how close the United States came to becoming a one-party state. This is a sobering conversation about power, accountability, and the future of constitutional government.

Former Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense and U.S. Army combat helicopter pilot Amber Smith joins Joe Pags for a blunt, inside look at what nearly broke America’s military.

Smith worked inside the Pentagon and is the author of Unfit to Fight. In this conversation, she explains how ideological mandates replaced merit, how military standards were quietly lowered, and why leadership failures put national security at risk.

Joe and Amber discuss:

• How “woke” ideology spread inside the military

• Why recruitment and retention collapsed

• How standards were lowered instead of enforced

• Why unit cohesion and trust were damaged

• What must change to restore a true fighting force

This is a serious, eye-opening conversation about military readiness, leadership, and the future of America’s armed forces — from someone who was on the inside.
