BREAKING: Ethics Allegations Rock Senate | Republicans Split with Trump (Ep 712)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Another day, more questions swirling around Washington — and now, the spotlight may be shifting from the House to the Senate.

New reports say allegations of misconduct involving an unnamed U.S. senator have been formally sent to the Senate Ethics Committee. Is the wave of scandal that has rocked the House now crossing over into the Senate? We break down what we know — and what could come next.

Meanwhile, a group of Republicans in the House broke ranks with Donald Trump, joining Democrats to support protections for more than 350,000 Haitian nationals facing potential deportation under the Temporary Protected Status program. The move highlights growing divisions within the GOP on immigration policy and enforcement.

Here at home in South Carolina, Pamela Evette joins us to discuss:

• The upcoming gubernatorial debate in Charleston
• Key legislative priorities in the final weeks of the session
• What voters should be watching as decisions are finalized

And later, State Representative John McCravy joins the show to give his perspective on wrapping up the legislative session — and what he calls a major win for common sense policy.

Iran Moves Oil in Secret | Israel Strike Fallout & Trump Supreme Court Question (Ep 711)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A packed show today with major developments overseas and serious headlines here at home.

Israeli officials say their latest strike against Hezbollah was even more devastating than previous operations — raising the stakes in an already volatile region. At the same time, new reports suggest Iran is quietly moving millions of barrels of oil through a “dark” offshore network — potentially bypassing U.S. sanctions and reshaping global energy dynamics.

We break down what this means for the region, global markets, and U.S. policy moving forward.

Back here in the United States, Maria Bartiromo pressed Donald Trump on whether additional appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court could be coming — a question that could have major long-term implications for the direction of the country.

In South Carolina, the final weeks of the legislative session are heating up. Lawmakers are facing criticism amid reports that a proposed abortion ban is being used as leverage in negotiations over THC regulations — a move that’s drawing strong reactions on both sides of the debate.

And a heartbreaking story out of Spartanburg — where authorities say an intoxicated illegal immigrant is accused of driving off the road and killing two children riding their bikes. The case is now drawing national attention and raising serious questions about public safety and enforcement.

A fast-moving day on the global stage — and a political firestorm back here at home.

A U.S. official says both sides now have “all the ingredients of a deal,” even as tensions remain high following recent military conflict. We break down what’s happening behind the scenes and whether a deal is actually within reach.

At the same time, criticism is coming from overseas. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves is blasting Donald Trump over the economic fallout tied to the Iran conflict, calling the strategy a “folly” without a clear exit plan.

And in the world of politics and media, Kamala Harris is once again trending — but not for the reasons she likely hoped — as critics and commentators react to her latest public appearances.

Plus, a developing situation at the University of Georgia — where a scheduled appearance by Erika Kirk was abruptly canceled over what officials are calling “serious safety concerns.” We’ll tell you what we know so far.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Breaking developments out of the Middle East — and the big question tonight: is the ceasefire already unraveling?

At the same time, Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is now accusing the United States of violating multiple provisions of a proposed 10-point framework — raising serious concerns about whether this ceasefire was ever stable to begin with.

We break down:

• Whether the ceasefire is collapsing
• What this means for oil prices, global markets, and U.S. security

Meanwhile, back here at home:
A group of Chick-fil-A employees are out of a job after a viral video sparked controversy — and it’s turning into a real-world lesson about actions and consequences.

And on a lighter note — it’s Masters Week at Augusta National Golf Club. Thirty-three past champions gathered for the iconic Champions Dinner — we’ll give you a quick update from one of golf’s most legendary traditions.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Big developments today — from the Middle East to California corruption to a major economic battle right here in South Carolina.

After an 8 p.m. Eastern deadline, a major breakthrough: the Strait of Hormuz is set to reopen as part of a two-week “double-sided ceasefire” involving Iran. We’ll break down what this agreement actually means, what happens next, and whether this is a real step toward peace — or just a temporary pause in a much larger conflict involving Iran and U.S. interests.

Meanwhile, a shocking fraud scandal out of California. Funds that were supposed to help vulnerable communities were allegedly diverted into luxury lifestyles — high-end homes, expensive cars, private jets, and even cosmetic procedures. It’s raising serious questions about oversight, accountability, and how taxpayer dollars are being handled.

Back here in South Carolina, controversy is growing over the Scout Motors electric vehicle plant. State leaders are now pointing fingers, with economic development officials blaming the Department of Natural Resources for massive cost overruns — as lawmakers debate whether to commit even more taxpayer money to the project.
