Propaganda or Journalism? Pags Draws a Hard Line - Jan 29 Hr 2

Joe Pags issues a serious warning as local media outlets openly advertise protests — calling it propaganda, not journalism. As a broadcaster with decades of experience and multiple awards for excellence in journalism, Pags explains why this moment matters and how the media’s role has crossed a dangerous line. Then things escalate: the Chicago mayor vows to prosecute federal immigration officers, and Pags says that’s beyond reckless — it’s political theater with real-world consequences. Plus, Eric Schwalm joins the show for a must-hear first installment. If you’re on X, you’ve seen his viral breakdown of the so-called “grassroots” Signal chats targeting ICE. Schwalm, a former Green Beret who actually led counter-insurgency operations overseas, doesn’t mince words — he calls what’s happening an insurgency, explains how these movements really operate, and why Minnesota should be taking this far more seriously. This is part one of an explosive insider conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.
