New evidence is changing the picture of what happened before an ICE officer shot a Venezuelan DoorDash driver in Austin. Video reviewed by Austin police shows Wilber Garces Perez initially pulled over and speaking with ICE agents before a brief vehicle pursuit ended near the location of the shooting—details that complicate the earliest accounts of the encounter. Pags takes on a local news anchor and makes the case for why where you get your news matters more than ever: feelings don't belong in straight reporting, facts do.

The Austin shooting takes another stunning turn after Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, the attorney representing Wilber Garces Perez, comes under fire for a grotesque, now-deleted social media post about Charlie Kirk.

Then the White House media fight takes another turn as Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighs in on the decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds.

Pags praises the president for delivering that message directly to the global community and laying out exactly where America stands. The Austin ICE shooting also brings some practical advice: Getting stopped by law enforcement can absolutely suck, but Pags explains why staying calm and cooperating in the moment can keep a bad situation from becoming much worse.

Then economist Vance Ginn, a former White House chief economist, joins for a deep dive into something hitting every American's wallet: interest rates. The Federal Reserve just raised its benchmark rate for the first time in more than three years as it tries to bring persistent inflation under control.

And how can raising interest rates ultimately help bring inflation back down? Ginn breaks down the economics in a way everyone can understand. Learn more about your ad choices.

The media fight isn't going away. After CNN, MS NOW and Politico were barred from the White House, Pags argues that access to the building is a privilege—not an unlimited right—and cuts through the First Amendment fight surrounding the ban. Then a shooting involving an ICE officer in North Austin explodes into the headlines, with stories emphasizing that a DoorDash driver was shot and remains detained with a bullet in his back. But buried much deeper in the coverage is another key fact: DHS says the Venezuelan man entered the country illegally and was under a final order of removal. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation. Pags cuts through the hysteria and misleading headlines, while also making clear he doesn't believe ICE should be operating in unmarked vehicles. It's another reminder of why where you get your news matters. Plus, Austin Rep. Greg Casar's reaction gets airtime before the White House launches “TRUMP TV,” a new online stream debuting Monday night.

CNN, MS NOW and Politico are suing over their loss of White House access, while ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox have joined CNN in halting pooled video coverage of presidential events. Why are outlets that weren't banned joining the fight—and why are they doing it now? There may be more to the strategy than meets the eye, and this is a conversation you have to hear.

The Iran war keeps expanding, and now the Houthis are creating another major problem in Yemen. Iran-backed Houthi forces are pushing for more territory near critical Red Sea shipping routes, while reports say President Trump recently called off planned U.S. strikes against them. Pags asks the obvious question: Why didn't we just take them out when we had the chance? Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. pressure campaign could effectively ground Iranian airlines worldwide beginning Wednesday, and U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz previews Trump's upcoming showdown at the United Nations over accusations involving U.S. military actions in Iran.

Amazon delivery drones are increasingly filling the skies over Richardson, Texas, after the FAA approved expanded operations, and residents are raising concerns about noise and the sheer number of flights overhead.

Plus, Trump takes questions from reporters, and listeners have plenty to say about it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A bizarre Gavin Newsom image has people asking whether it's even real, and Pags breaks down what he's seeing. Then the spotlight turns to Trump-endorsed Florida Rep. María Elvira Salazar after she released a campaign ad directly challenging the president's immigration enforcement, saying it has gone “too far.” That has Pags asking a much tougher question: Did Salazar misrepresent where she stood to get Trump's endorsement? Her video gets the full treatment, along with the administration's response defending its immigration crackdown. From there, Pags makes one thing crystal clear—he's certainly not joining the crowd calling to defund the police. Listeners write in and get answers live before the amazing Dr. Carol Swain returns for Part 2.

Trump says he's weighing whether to resume large-scale attacks on Iran, asking whether he wants to “go in and annihilate them,” while also saying he hopes the months-long war is nearing an end.

The phone lines light up as listeners weigh in on what Trump should do next. Then the amazing Sage Steele returns for Part 2.

Pags starts with Vice President JD Vance's message that the administration needs to do a better job highlighting what it sees as its wins before turning to a move that hits Americans directly in the wallet: the Federal Reserve just raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years.
