Pentagon Bill, Border Exodus, Somali Fraud & Erika Kirk — TODAY’S BIGGEST STORIES (Ep 608)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Congress has officially passed the $901 billion National Defense Authorization Act, sending the Pentagon’s yearly budget — and all of its major policy fights — to the Senate. The vote breakdown is stunning: 312–112, with 18 Republicans and 94 Democrats voting against it. We’ll walk you through exactly what's in the bill and why both parties are frustrated.

Meanwhile, Erika Kirk — widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — is calling out conspiracy theorists spreading false claims about her husband’s assassination. Her powerful statement is breaking through the noise, and we have the details.

At the border, President Trump’s self-deportation incentives appear to be working. New numbers show more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants have left the U.S. in the past year — many using Trump’s complimentary airfare + $1,000 exit bonus. We’ll explain the surge and how DHS says it’s reshaping enforcement.

And in the Midwest, fraud scandals involving Somali-linked nonprofits continue to widen. Minnesota is now under renewed scrutiny for allegedly easing oversight after activists labeled investigations “racist,” allowing hundreds of millions to vanish.

PLUS — a new whistleblower in Maine says millions were siphoned from the state’s Medicaid program… by a CEO who once ran for office in Somalia.

Big stories. Big consequences. Straight talk.
