Episode Details

As misinformation spreads like wildfire in the wake of Texas’ devastating floods, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt takes the podium andtorches the fake narratives. She dismantles media lies that blamed the Trump administration for the disaster response and backs it up with receipts—timelines, alerts, and proof the warnings were there. Pags breaks it all down, clip by clip, showing exactly who’s twisting the truth and why.

Then, disaster expert and columnist Kay Smythe joins the show for a deep dive into FEMA’s limitations, funding shortfalls, and what really needs to change to prevent tragedies like this in the future. From outdated infrastructure to broken alert systems and ignored policy recommendations, she and Pags dig into the hard questions: who dropped the ball, who’s underfunded, and what can actually be done to protect Americans next time. It’s a gripping, no-fluff conversation packed with facts, frustration, and solutions.
