Pags reacts to President Trump's late-night Truth Social post questioning America's support for South Korea—and this time, Pags has a real problem with what the president is saying. South Korea is an important U.S. ally, so what exactly is Trump trying to accomplish? Pags brings you Trump's own explanation before another jaw-dropping moment: the president floats the idea of making the Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory. Could that even happen? Then Trump gets into a fiery back-and-forth with a CNN reporter and weighs in on the growing controversy surrounding Flock surveillance cameras. Finally, former Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates joins the program to cut through the noise on the biggest foreign-policy questions of the moment. Why is Trump suddenly talking this way about South Korea? Is America actually defeating Iran—economically, militarily, or both? And after weeks of conflicting claims, is the Strait of Hormuz OPEN or CLOSED? Coates gives Pags a definitive answer and reveals where the Iran conflict goes from here.

The callers have plenty to say before Free Speech Friday takes a hilarious detour into traveling, food and the crew just having some fun. Then Pags tackles a wild new concern out of Washington: AI chatbots are increasingly being used to help do the work of Congress, but who's actually watching the machines?

Then, what happened to Tucker Carlson? Pags remembers when Tucker was must-see television, but now Carlson has released a 10-point manifesto for America after previously floating the idea of a new political party. Is this just a political platform—or the beginning of a Tucker 2028 campaign? Pags goes through the list and takes on the narrative point by point. Pags also reacts to the latest fraud crackdown and calls for something Americans rarely seem to see: actual perp walks and handcuffs.

Is the "TYFYATTM Center" next?

Then legendary New York radio host Sid Rosenberg joins the show and brings the real NYC temperature check. Are actual New Yorkers getting fed up with Zohran Mamdani?
