Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

A retired U.S. Army Green Beret who trained insurgents overseas says what’s happening in Minneapolis isn’t a protest.

It follows the same tactics he saw in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Eric Schwalm spent years teaching unconventional and insurgent warfare. After watching the chaos unfold here at home, he says the warning signs are unmistakable — organized disruption, coordinated messaging, and pressure campaigns designed to overwhelm law enforcement.

His analysis just exploded online, racking up tens of millions of views.

In this episode, we break down:
• what “insurgency” actually means
• how these movements organize
• why police and ICE become targets
• how narratives are weaponized
• and what happens if it spreads

This isn’t spin. It’s firsthand experience from someone who’s seen it before.

Listen and decide for yourself.

Did Minnesota Governor Tim Walz think a friendly phone call with Donald Trump would make his legal problems disappear?

Not so fast.

Despite the media spin about “unity,” serious legal questions remain about Minnesota’s handling of ICE operations, cooperation with federal authorities, and whether state officials could face real criminal liability.

Joe Pags is joined by constitutional attorney Josh Hammer to break down what the law actually says — not the politics.

We cover:
• Can a governor face federal charges?
• Did Minnesota obstruct ICE enforcement?
• What the Insurrection Act really allows
• Federal vs state power explained
• And whether Walz is truly “safe”

A handshake doesn’t erase potential liability — and this story may be far from over.

Minnesota is spiraling.

ICE agents are being blocked. Police are standing down. Local leaders refuse to enforce federal law.

So what happens when a state won’t protect its own citizens?

Attorney and policy expert Mehek Cooke joins Joe Pags to break down the one tool the President can legally use right now: the Insurrection Act.

Can the President send in federal troops without Congress?
When does federal authority override the states?
And has Minnesota already crossed that line?

This is a straight talk, no-spin look at what the law actually allows — and why waiting could make things worse.

If you want the facts, not the politics, this one’s for you.

Rep. Wesley Hunt joins Joe Pags to break down the biggest changes happening inside the U.S. military under Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The West Point graduate and Apache combat pilot explains how standards are being restored, woke policies are being removed, and why America’s armed forces are focused on war readiness again. Hunt also responds to media attacks on his voting record, talks about leadership in Washington, and shares what must change to keep the country strong at home and abroad.

If you care about military strength, national security, and the future of America’s defense, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

They told us the "black box" was secure. They lied. Two government whistleblowers have stepped forward to explain exactly how the system is rigged.

Episode Summary: Joe Pags sits down with author and investigator Ralph Pezzullo to expose the "Scorecard" code—a specific software backdoor allegedly built into election systems used in 72 nations. Ralph breaks down testimony from two separate whistleblowers who claim they helped build the system.

We aren't talking about "glitches." We are talking about a feature. Ralph explains the 2004 Venezuela origin story under Hugo Chavez, how the code flips outcomes without leaving a trace, and why this technology is still active today.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The "Scorecard" Mechanism: How the code allegedly flips votes in real-time.
• The Whistleblowers: Who are they, and why are they talking now?
• 72 Nations Compromised: The global scale of the "Chavez Code."
• The "Black Box" Lie: Why electronic voting systems are more vulnerable than we were told.
• The Trap Door: How the system allows access that bypasses audit logs.

Guest: Ralph Pezzullo – Author, Investigator.

Robert Sherman joins me to expose the real panic regarding the Greenland deal. While the media focuses on "buying an island," Sherman reveals the strategic stranglehold on Rare Earth minerals that has globalists terrified. We break down the specific military leverage, the "force" option, and the blunt truth: the U.S. has checkmated the competition. Plus: Rep. Troy Nehls on the political fallout in DC.

Don Lemon thought he was exposing a story, but Mike Davis argues he was actually documenting his own felony.

In this episode, we break down exactly how Lemon’s disruption of a Christian service violates 18 U.S.C. § 248 (The FACE Act) and the KKK Act of 1871. Mike Davis explains why this footage isn't journalism—it's federal evidence.

We cover:

• The Trap: How Lemon's own camera crew created the evidence against him.
• The Law: The specific statutes that could lead to federal prison.
• The Double Standard: Why the DOJ hunts grandmas for praying but ignores this textbook violation.

"Don Lemon can go to hell, and he should go to federal prison first." — Mike Davis

London has fallen. The once-great British Empire is being dismantled from the inside out, and what is happening there is the terrifying blueprint for America.

Joe Pags sits down with SAS legend Ant Middleton, who is stepping directly into the crossfire to run for Mayor of London. His mission: stop Sadiq Khan’s destruction of Western culture before it’s too late.

In this episode, Ant and Joe expose the "suicidal empathy" that is erasing national identity, the two-tier policing that punishes prayer but ignores violence, and the reality of a capital city that has lost its soul. Ant Middleton isn't just talking—he is fighting back. This is the warning every American needs to hear.

Key Topics:

• The Identity Crisis: Why "multiculturalism" actually means "no culture."
• Two-Tier Justice: Arrested for tweets vs. ignored for violent crimes.
• The Mission: Ant Middleton’s battle plan to restore law, order, and British values.
• The Warning: Why the UK's collapse is the preview for the US.

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:

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

We discuss:

• The undeniable signs the regime is cracking.
• Why the West is protecting the Ayatollahs.

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.

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 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.

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.”

• What Delta Force and SEAL Team operators really do when they hit a target

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.
