Will Americans REALLY Get Trump's $5K Checks? + The CIA Officer Who Hunted Bin Laden - Sept 14 Hr 1 Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Pags digs deeper into President Trump's $5,000 "dividend" promise as Speaker Mike Johnson tries to explain how it could actually happen. Congress would have to approve the payments, and Pags asks the question everyone wants answered: Could Americans really get these checks? Then former CIA officer Gary Berntsen joins Pags for Part 1 of an incredible look back at the hunt for Osama bin Laden after 9/11. Berntsen led CIA operations against al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and was on the ground during the battle of Tora Bora, where bin Laden ultimately escaped. Did America have an opportunity to get bin Laden years earlier? Why did he escape at Tora Bora? And why did it ultimately take nearly a decade after 9/11 to find him? Pags and Berntsen dig into the questions that still surround one of the biggest manhunts in American history.

Ron DeSantis is now offering “asylum” to the lone holdout juror amid controversy surrounding him after the mistrial. Then the conversation turns to AI after layoffs hit two San Antonio television stations. Pags asks whether The Terminator is starting to feel a little less like science fiction as the debate over AI and American jobs intensifies.

Pags digs into the risks, the competition with China and just how quickly this technology is changing the world. Then former CIA officer Gary Berntsen returns for Part 2, taking Pags even deeper inside the hunt for Osama bin Laden after 9/11 and the lingering questions about missed opportunities, intelligence failures and why it ultimately took nearly a decade to find him.

Show notes

Pags starts with breaking news from the Supreme Court on mail-ballot rules ahead of the 2026 midterms before impeachment takes center stage. Hakeem Jeffries isn't ruling out another Trump impeachment, while Rep. Al Green is moving to force a House-wide impeachment vote.

Don Jr. and Bettina Anderson are pushing back hard on the coverage, saying there is “no conspiracy” and “no mystery” behind the wedding funding story. Plus, Kay Hill joins Pags to tackle the growing fight over green cards, immigration and taxpayer-funded benefits as cities challenge the Trump administration's new public-charge policy.
