About this episode

Joe Pags discusses James Comey's surrender and the implications of his video, followed by a debate on the U.S. military budget with Pete Hegseth and Democrats.

James Comey turns himself in following federal charges — but drops a video beforehand that Joe Pags says only makes things worse. Pags tears into the message, the timing, and what it signals as the legal battle begins. He also breaks down the charges themselves and why this case is getting so much attention. Then, it’s a full-on clash over the U.S. military budget as Pete Hegseth goes head-to-head with Democrats over defense spending. The fight centers on how much to fund the military, where the money is going, and whether the U.S. is prepared for growing global threats like Iran and China. Pags lays out both sides — from arguments about bloated spending and priorities to concerns over readiness, deterrence, and national security — and explains why this debate matters right now.
