Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

We go through the Texas vote totals, where the numbers moved and why, and what it means for Republicans heading into 2028. Was it fair, and what should conservatives do now?

He's the federal prosecutor who played himself in Goodfellas, and he knew the real Henry Hill better than almost anyone. Former organized crime prosecutor Ed McDonald joins me for the story behind the movie: the 1978 Lufthansa heist at JFK, the bodies that piled up afterward, Jimmy Burke, Tommy DeSimone and John Gotti, and what Henry Hill was really like once he flipped and went into witness protection (and how he kept blowing his cover). Then: the Boston College point-shaving scandal, and how prosecutors built the case against Michael Franzese and the Colombo family's multimillion-dollar gas-tax scheme. Plus Ed's theory on how Franzese walked away from the mob. Ed's book: Chasing Goodfellas — Lufthansa, Henry Hill, Point Shaving, and Making Movies. Subscribe and leave a review.

Democrats won the House and Senate, and Josh Hammer says it was never about gas prices or affordability. "It's just get Trump by any means necessary." Joe and Josh break down what the new majority can actually do: investigations, subpoenas, another impeachment ("we definitely don't know for what yet"), court-packing, statehood, and changing the Electoral College. They also cover where Trump's veto and the Constitution still stand in the way. Joe presses Hammer on why Republicans never fight back the same way. They react to Robert Garcia's investigation agenda, debate executive privilege and the Senate votes it takes to convict a president, and get into Tucker Carlson, MTG, Thomas Massie and Stephen Miller.

These conversations were recorded October 28 and 30, 2026, days BEFORE the midterm election. Listen to what the experts and the candidate were saying with Election Day just around the corner, and ask yourself: how did they get it so wrong? Retiring pollster Matt Towery tells Joe Pags the polls are a "mirage." He calls the Texas Senate race extremely close and says none of these races are really four, five or seven points. Then Texas Attorney General and Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton calls in from the campaign trail on the last day of early voting. Joe asks him the hard question: why isn't he up by 50? Paxton calls James Talarico "a con man," talks about the missed debate and Talarico's 13 days off the trail, warns about a Republican "enthusiasm gap," and gives his prediction. Now that the votes are counted, hear it all again. What did they see coming, what did they miss, and what does it mean for 2028?

"We just look really good on their screens." Ilhan Omar sat on a couch with Hasan Piker and claimed conservatives only go after her because she's so good-looking. She said it days after federal agents searched her D.C. home and on the same day new reporting broke on the "brother" marriage probe. Erin Molan isn't buying it, and she fires back at Omar's "Botox faces" jab. Joe and Erin also get into: •Abdul El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood questions in Michigan's Senate race, and why asking them isn't Islamophobic •The midterms six days out, including Trump at 80, the polls, turnout and "suppression polls" •Israel's messy election, Netanyahu's fate in the hands of his enemies, and what it means for the Iran war •Mike Waltz telling Cuba's delegation "This is America, back up!" at the UN Every week, Pags & Molan breaks down the stories everyone's talking about from both sides of the Pacific.

Why would a Hillary Clinton-donating Democrat judge sign off on a home raid of a sitting Democrat congresswoman three weeks before the midterms? Mike Davis of the Article III Project says there's only one reason: damning evidence inside that home. Joe and Mike break down Ilhan Omar's mounting legal trouble: the birth-year change, the citizenship questions, the brother-husband mystery, and why Mike believes a RICO indictment could land before Christmas. Can she even keep her seat if she's never been a citizen? Mike explains what the Constitution says and why expelling her would be uncharted territory. Then they take on the judges. Mike, a former Supreme Court clerk, says Chief Justice John Roberts is flat wrong and that judges who steal power from Congress and the president should be impeached. Plus James Comey's third criminal charge, and Mike's warning for Democrats: win the House and go on an impeachment spree, and it'll blow up in your face just like it did for Republicans in 1998.

“The socialist revolution—it’s not coming. It’s here. We are in it.” Jack Posobiec joins Joe Pags to explain why he believes America is already facing that threat—and how conservatives must confront it. Why are Abdul El-Sayed, James Talarico, and candidates like them gaining ground? Jack argues that exposing hypocrisy isn’t enough. He lays out how to challenge candidates using their own words and records, stop letting opponents control the debate, and connect with younger voters. Posobiec also recounts his response when asked whether America is in a civil war, discusses political violence, and explains why he believes Republicans must recognize what they’re up against. Plus: Jack’s account of confronting Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office, questions about Ilhan Omar and Republican accountability, the fight over masculinity, and his criticism of Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ welfare ad. Jack also discusses the expanded edition of Unhumans: Socialist Revolution. Recorded several weeks before publication.

She joins Joe Pags to challenge the “mostly peaceful” narrative, explain why she no longer feels safe in Milan, and question European leaders’ handling of migration and public safety.

Could Ilhan Omar actually face deportation? What would have to happen legally for that to become possible? Constitutional attorney Mike Davis joins Joe Pags for a fascinating discussion about the allegations surrounding Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the legal questions being raised, and whether an investigation could ever lead to denaturalization or deportation. Davis breaks down the difference between allegations and proven immigration fraud, what federal investigators would need to establish, and the extraordinary legal hurdles involved when the person at the center of the controversy is a sitting member of Congress. Could an elected official actually lose U.S. citizenship? Who has the authority to pursue such a case? And what would happen next? Joe Pags asks the questions, and Mike Davis explains the legal possibilities, the limitations, and what's at stake.

What does the historical evidence actually say about the Bible? Dinesh D’Souza joins Joe Pags to challenge James Talarico’s comments and examine the archaeological discoveries behind biblical accounts.

They also discuss “The Stones Cry Out” and the relationship between faith, history, and biblical prophecy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
