Episode Details

President Trump takes the world stage at the United Nations, but back home the ICE shooting in Austin is getting even more complicated. New details indicate the Venezuelan man involved initially stopped for ICE officers before driving away, and Pags wants to know why that critical part of the story has been so difficult to find in the coverage. Using reporting and video from Breanna Morello, the show digs past the headlines and into what actually happened, while Rep. Greg Casar continues speaking out about the shooting. Then the White House media fight takes another turn as Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighs in on the decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds. But Pags spots what he sees as a glaring contradiction: If these organizations are truly being “banned,” how are their reporters still talking to administration officials—and continuing to get questions to Trump? The callers jump in as Pags takes on slanted coverage, media credibility and what Americans are actually being told.
