Joe Pags calls out California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter after her very public meltdown with an investigative reporter — and yes, he's got the receipts. Then, national security expert and former Deputy National Security Adviser KT McFarland joins Pags for a deep dive into the new Gaza–Israel peace framework. McFarland reveals it's not just a deal between Hamas and Israel — it's a massive 20-point agreement involving several key nations, and she breaks it all down in a way only she can. Plus, she shares why she's hitting college campuses across America, inspired by Charlie Kirk's mission to spark real political discussion among young people. It's smart, sharp, and one of the most insightful hours you'll hear this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
