The Strait of Hormuz is becoming one of the most dangerous shipping routes in the world—and the consequences could reach every American gas pump.

New reports indicate that 24 commercial vessels have been attacked near the Strait of Hormuz over the past two weeks, marking one of the most intense periods of maritime attacks since the Iran war began.

Oil tankers and cargo ships are increasingly vulnerable, and the flow of oil through this critical waterway has fallen dramatically.

The Strait of Hormuz normally carries a significant share of the world's oil supplies. When shipping slows, the consequences can spread quickly through global energy markets.

Higher oil prices can mean more expensive gasoline and diesel, increased transportation costs and additional pressure on American families.

So why are these attacks intensifying? Can the United States protect commercial shipping? And what happens if the disruption continues?

We'll examine the latest developments in the Iran war and what they could mean for the American economy.

ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION — THE LATEST AFTER FEDERAL SEARCH

Federal investigators searched the Washington, D.C., residence of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar earlier this week.

The Justice Department confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations executed a court-authorized search warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

According to news reports citing sources familiar with the investigation, authorities are examining immigration-related paperwork dating back to Omar's childhood.

Omar strongly denies wrongdoing and says the investigation is politically motivated.

The search has sparked controversy in Washington, with questions about the allegations, the evidence and the timing of the investigation.

What has actually been confirmed? What are investigators examining? And what happens next?

We'll review the latest reporting and the responses from both sides.

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE OUT AS AMBASSADOR TO GREECE

President Donald Trump has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece.

The White House confirmed the decision Tuesday following reports alleging improper financial dealings and possible misuse of her diplomatic position.

Published allegations include claims involving wealthy donors, gifts and access to administration officials.

Guilfoyle denies wrongdoing and says the allegations against her are false.

She has expressed continued support for President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio while pledging to defend her reputation.

Why did the White House ask her to step down? What do the reports actually allege? And what comes next?

We'll explain the developments and the questions still unanswered.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Federal agents have searched the Washington, D.C., home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar—and the investigation is raising major questions in Washington.

Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant Monday morning at the residence of the Minnesota Democrat.

The Justice Department confirms that the warrant was authorized by a judge and that the search is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

Sources familiar with the case say investigators are examining immigration paperwork completed when Omar was a child.

Omar denies wrongdoing and calls the search politically motivated.

So what exactly are federal investigators looking for? What evidence has been made public? And what happens next?

We'll separate the confirmed facts from the allegations in this developing story.

ZELENSKYY ACCUSES PUTIN OF DEFYING TRUMP'S CEASEFIRE ANNOUNCEMENT

President Donald Trump announced what he described as an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russian attacks on Ukraine's power and energy facilities have continued.

Zelenskyy is accusing Vladimir Putin of rejecting American peace efforts and calling for greater international pressure on Moscow.

Ukraine says it is willing to halt strikes against Russian energy infrastructure if Russia reciprocates.

Can the White House bring both countries to an enforceable agreement? And what does the continuing conflict mean for energy prices and the war's next phase?

We'll examine the latest developments.

MORTGAGE RATES ABOVE 7% THROUGH 2027?

If you're waiting for mortgage rates to drop before buying a house, a new forecast may not be the news you wanted.

Mortgage Bankers Association chief economist Mike Fratantoni predicts that the average 30-year mortgage rate will remain above 7% through the end of 2027.

The MBA projects a 7.3% average rate in the final quarter of 2026.

Persistent inflation, elevated Treasury yields and government borrowing are among the factors contributing to the outlook.

We'll explain what the forecast means for prospective homebuyers, current homeowners considering refinancing and families trying to make the numbers work.

And we'll discuss why even a small difference in mortgage rates can substantially change a monthly payment.

TRANSGENDER ATHLETE REIGNITES GIRLS' SPORTS DEBATE

Another high-profile transgender-athlete story is bringing renewed attention to eligibility rules in girls' sports.

The debate involves competitive fairness, opportunities for female athletes, inclusion and the responsibilities of schools and athletic organizations.

We'll look at the reported competition, the governing rules and the reactions from those involved.

The central question is how athletic organizations should establish and consistently apply eligibility standards.

President Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an immediate ceasefire targeting attacks on energy infrastructure. But is the agreement already falling apart?

Trump announced Sunday that both countries had agreed to stop attacking each other's power plants, oil refineries and other energy facilities.

The president called for the agreement to take effect immediately.

But there's a major complication.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the announcement came as news to him. He says Ukraine is prepared to stop attacking Russian energy facilities if Russia does the same.

And Ukrainian officials report that Russian strikes on energy infrastructure have continued.

So has Russia actually agreed to the ceasefire?

Can the United States bring both sides to the negotiating table?

And what does this mean for global energy prices and the ongoing war?

We'll examine Trump's announcement, Ukraine's response and the latest developments.

CHRISTA PIKE RETURNS TO PRISON — WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is back behind bars after surviving a failed execution attempt.

Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer.

On September 30, Tennessee attempted to execute Pike using lethal injection.

She survived two doses of execution drugs and was rushed to a hospital, where she spent more than a week recovering.

Over the weekend, her attorneys confirmed that she had been discharged and returned to prison in Nashville.

But the legal questions are far from over.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has halted executions for the remainder of 2026 and ordered an independent review of the state's execution procedures.

Pike's attorneys are seeking to have her death sentence commuted to life in prison without parole.

So can Tennessee attempt to execute her again?

Would another attempt violate constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment?

And what happens to her death sentence while the investigation continues?

We'll bring you the latest.

HALLOWEEN CANDY PRICES JUMP 8.1%

Halloween is getting more expensive.

New federal inflation figures show candy and chewing gum prices increased 8.1% over the past year, more than twice the overall inflation rate.

But that isn't stopping Americans from celebrating.

According to the National Retail Federation, consumers are expected to spend approximately $4.1 billion on Halloween candy this year.

That's a lot of chocolate bars, candy corn and peanut butter cups.

For families buying costumes, decorations and enough candy for the neighborhood, the costs can add up quickly.

We'll look at what's driving candy prices higher and share practical ways to save money without disappointing the trick-or-treaters.

NEW QUESTIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA'S SENATE RACE

And finally, new questions are being raised about the relationship between U.S. Senator Darline Graham and former South Carolina State Senator Katrina Shealy.

The Carolina Courier has renewed attention on the subject as South Carolina approaches its November Senate election.

What exactly is being alleged?

What evidence has been presented?

And have the people involved responded?

We'll examine the reporting, distinguish documented facts from unanswered questions, and discuss why the story is receiving attention during the Senate campaign.

Can we actually prevent crime before it happens simply by changing the way we design and maintain our neighborhoods, businesses, parks, and public spaces?

Esther Wagner with PalmettoPride joins Joey Hudson to discuss an innovative approach to public safety known as Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and how South Carolina communities can use these strategies to reduce opportunities for crime.

From better lighting and landscaping to improved visibility and neighborhood involvement, CPTED focuses on practical ways to make our communities safer without relying exclusively on additional law enforcement resources.

In this conversation, we explore how property owners, business leaders, neighborhood associations, and local governments can work together to discourage criminal activity and improve quality of life.

Esther also shares information about PalmettoPride's efforts to educate South Carolinians through CPTED training and the important connection between community pride, property maintenance, and public safety.

Topics include:

• What Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design actually means.

• How landscaping, lighting, and building design can discourage crime.

• Why neglected properties and public spaces can create safety concerns.

• How homeowners and businesses can make simple, affordable improvements.

• The connection between litter prevention, community pride, and safer neighborhoods.

• How PalmettoPride is helping South Carolina communities through education and training.

Can a cleaner, better-maintained neighborhood also be a safer neighborhood? It's an important conversation about prevention, personal responsibility, and making South Carolina a better place to live.

JD Vance is taking on Microsoft, Adobe and several of the world's largest technology and outsourcing companies over alleged abuse of America's employment-based green-card system.

The Trump administration announced Thursday that it is suspending Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Capgemini from the federal PERM labor-certification program.

That program allows employers to seek permanent residency for foreign workers after certifying that qualified American workers are not available for the positions.

Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of laying off American employees while continuing to rely heavily on foreign workers.

Labor officials say the affected companies have received hundreds of thousands of work-visa approvals and permanent labor certifications over the years.

The administration argues that the program has been misused at the expense of American workers.

But the companies and supporters of employment-based immigration argue that foreign talent fills specialized jobs and helps American businesses compete globally.

So what exactly is the PERM program?

Does this mean foreign employees are being deported?

What happens to green-card applications already in the system?

And could this change how America's biggest technology companies hire workers?

We'll explain the announcement, the allegations and what it means for American jobs.

OBAMA AND EL-SAYED: FROM CRITICISM TO CAMPAIGN STAGE

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed once criticized former President Barack Obama for failing to deliver on progressive campaign promises.

El-Sayed argued that Obama's reelection represented a compromise for progressive voters who wanted more ambitious change.

Now the two are preparing to appear together at a campaign event.

Obama's participation comes as Democrats work to bring together different parts of their coalition ahead of the November midterm elections.

El-Sayed has attracted support from prominent progressive figures while also receiving backing from more established Democratic leaders.

So what did El-Sayed say about Obama?

Has his assessment of Obama's presidency changed?

And how does the upcoming appearance fit into Michigan's closely watched Senate campaign?

We'll look at his earlier comments and the political context surrounding the event.

WANT TO LIVE TO 100? THREE DRINKS WORTH TALKING ABOUT

What if some of the beverages associated with healthy aging are already sitting in your kitchen?

Longevity researcher Dan Buettner, known for his work studying the world's Blue Zones, has identified three drinks commonly consumed in communities with unusually high concentrations of people living into their 90s and beyond.

His three selections are:

Water. Black coffee. Red wine.

Water tops the list because hydration is essential to healthy bodily function.

Coffee consumption has been associated in observational research with several favorable health outcomes.

And red wine appears in the traditional diets of some long-lived communities, although the potential risks of alcohol make that recommendation controversial.

Here's the important distinction: drinking these beverages does not guarantee a longer life, and health experts do not recommend starting to drink alcohol for longevity.

We'll look at what the research actually suggests and the everyday habits that may matter far more than any single beverage.

FORT HOOD MASS SHOOTER'S EXECUTION WILL BE PUBLIC

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the execution of convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan will be made available for public viewing.

Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people and attempting to murder 32 others during the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.

He was sentenced to death in 2013.

President Donald Trump has approved execution by an Army firing squad, and the execution is scheduled for December 3 at Fort Hood.

Hegseth says the public should be able to witness the consequences of Hasan's crimes.

If carried out, it would be the first execution under the American military justice system since 1961.

The announcement also raises questions about military capital punishment, the use of firing squads and the decision to make an execution publicly viewable.

We'll explain the announcement and what happens next.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Could the United States launch another round of military strikes against Iran before the November midterm elections?

New reports say President Donald Trump is weighing additional military action as the White House again warns Tehran that it can resolve the confrontation the “easy way or the hard way.”

According to reporting from Axios and The Atlantic, military planners have been preparing options for renewed operations against Iran.

But no final decision has been announced.

The possibilities reportedly include strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, energy infrastructure and other strategic targets.

The White House maintains that President Trump has military and diplomatic options available, while negotiations with Iran remain stalled.

So what would another round of strikes accomplish?

Could it bring Iran back to the negotiating table?

Or would renewed fighting drive oil prices even higher and deepen the conflict just weeks before Americans vote?

We'll examine the latest reporting and what it could mean for American troops, national security and the economy.

THREE KILLED IN SAUDI AIRPORT ATTACKS

Meanwhile, the fighting in the Middle East is expanding.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for deadly attacks on two international airports in Saudi Arabia.

Three people were killed and 36 others injured in attacks involving airports in Riyadh and Abha.

The Saudi-led coalition has responded with major military operations against Houthi positions in Yemen.

The violence raises concerns about civilian air travel, international shipping and the security of a region already dealing with the consequences of the Iran conflict.

We'll have the latest developments.

TRUMP'S COMMENTS ABOUT LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO SPARK BACKLASH

President Trump is facing criticism over remarks suggesting Iran could “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego.

The comments came during a campaign rally in Nebraska as the president discussed the cost of the Iran war and the importance of protecting the United States.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned the remarks, arguing that a president's responsibility is to protect American cities.

California Governor Gavin Newsom and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria also criticized the comments.

The White House says Trump was highlighting the danger that a nuclear-armed Iran could eventually pose to the United States.

Critics argue that the president's language was irresponsible, regardless of his intended meaning.

What did Trump actually say?

What was the context?

And what do we know about Iran's ability to threaten American cities?

We'll examine the exchange and the reaction.

FIRST THE PENNY — NOW THE NICKEL?

And finally, another familiar American coin could be on its way out.

After the decision to end production of the penny, lawmakers are considering whether the nickel should be next.

The issue comes down to something surprisingly simple.

It costs the U.S. Mint more than five cents to manufacture and distribute a nickel.

That means taxpayers lose money on every new nickel produced.

But eliminating another coin raises practical questions.

Would stores round cash purchases to the nearest dime?

Would electronic transactions still be calculated to the exact cent?

And what happens to the nickels already sitting in jars, drawers and cup holders across America?

We'll explain what Congress is considering and what it could mean for everyday purchases.

Could some relief finally be coming at the gas pump?

President Donald Trump says his administration is considering suspending the federal gasoline tax as higher fuel prices continue putting pressure on American families.

But with the midterm elections now less than a month away, there’s an obvious political question:

Is it too little, too late?

The federal gasoline tax is 18.4 cents per gallon.

The federal diesel tax is 24.4 cents per gallon.

Suspending those taxes could theoretically provide immediate relief at the pump—although exactly how much of the savings would ultimately reach consumers would depend on how the policy is implemented and how fuel markets respond.

And there’s another issue:

Federal fuel taxes help finance the Highway Trust Fund, which pays for roads, bridges and transportation projects.

So how long would the tax be suspended?

Would Congress have to act?

Would the entire savings actually show up at the pump?

And with voters already frustrated by fuel prices, would a gas-tax holiday make much political difference this close to Election Day?

We’ll look at what President Trump is considering and what it could actually mean for your wallet.

🗳️ DOJ CHARGES 16 NONCITIZENS IN ELECTION-CRIME CASES

The Justice Department has announced charges involving 16 noncitizens in connection with alleged election crimes across the country.

The cases involve allegations including illegal voting in federal elections, fraudulent voter registration, falsely claiming U.S. citizenship and making false statements during the naturalization process.

Some of the defendants are accused of voting in the 2024 presidential election.

Others face allegations involving earlier elections or false citizenship claims connected to voter registration and naturalization.

The cases stretch across multiple states and federal jurisdictions.

These are criminal charges—not convictions—and the defendants are entitled to the presumption of innocence.

The prosecutions also do not, by themselves, tell us how widespread noncitizen voting is nationally.

But they do establish something important:

Federal prosecutors are alleging that specific noncitizens illegally registered or cast ballots in American elections.

We’ll look at who has been charged, what prosecutors allege happened and what these cases do—and do not—tell us about noncitizen voting in the United States.

⚖️ CHRISTA PIKE IS AWAKE AND SPEAKING

We have a remarkable update on Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike.

Last week, Tennessee attempted to execute Pike for the brutal 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer.

Executioners administered two doses of pentobarbital.

Pike survived.

She was rushed from the prison to a hospital, where she remained unconscious and on a ventilator.

Now her attorneys say Pike is awake.

She is conscious.

And she is speaking.

Pike remains hospitalized and continues receiving critical medical care.

Her attorneys say her arms suffered severe burns and blistering during the failed execution and that her long-term prognosis remains uncertain.

Governor Bill Lee has halted additional Tennessee executions while an independent investigation determines what went wrong.

Pike's attorneys are also seeking to preserve evidence from the failed execution and are again asking the governor to commute her death sentence to life without parole.

That leaves Tennessee confronting an extraordinary legal question:

Can—and should—the state attempt to execute her again?

We'll have the latest developments.

🔥 FORT HOOD MASS KILLER TO FACE FIRING SQUAD

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has cleared the way for the execution of former Army Major Nidal Hasan.

Hasan was convicted of murdering 13 people and wounding 32 others during the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.

The Pentagon says President Trump approved the use of an Army firing squad following a recommendation from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

An execution date has now been set for December 3, 2026.

If carried out, Hasan's execution would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961.

We'll explain why the military justice system is different from civilian death-penalty cases and what happens next.

🌴 $5 MILLION FLOWS INTO SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE RACE

And if you needed another indication that national Republicans are paying very close attention to South Carolina, here it is.

The Senate Leadership Fund—the major Republican super PAC focused on Senate races—is putting $5 million into South Carolina to support Republican Senator Darline Graham.

Five million dollars.

In South Carolina.

A state Donald Trump carried by 18 points just two years ago.

Graham is facing Democrat Annie Andrews in the special election to complete the term of Graham’s late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham.

Republicans say they still expect to hold the seat and describe the money as an insurance policy.

But you don't spend $5 million in the final weeks of a campaign for absolutely no reason.

The investment comes as recent polling has shown a race that appears more competitive than Republicans would normally expect in South Carolina.

And President Trump is also expected to return to South Carolina to campaign for Graham before Election Day.

So why are national Republicans putting this kind of money into a state that has been reliably Republican in federal elections?

Where will the $5 million be spent?

And what does it tell us about the state of this race with Election Day approaching?

We'll break it down.
