Thanksgiving Gratitude & Feeding the Hungry | Interview with Redd Martin (Sunday Dinner With a Twist) (Ep 596)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Thanksgiving Gratitude & Feeding the Hungry: Conversation with Redd Martin | Joey Hudson Podcast

This Thanksgiving week, we’re taking a moment to slow down… reflect… and remember what truly matters. Before the plates fill up and the family gatherings begin, today’s episode opens with a message of gratitude — a reminder that every blessing we enjoy is worth pausing to acknowledge.

Then we turn to someone who embodies that spirit of thankfulness and service every single week — Greenville’s own “servant-in-chief” Redd Martin, co-founder of Sunday Dinner With a Twist. What started as one meal on one Sunday has grown into a powerful outreach feeding hundreds of men and women battling homelessness and hunger in the Upstate.

In this heartfelt Thanksgiving conversation, Redd shares:

➡️ How Sunday Dinner With a Twist began — and how he and his wife Cassandra turned a simple act of kindness into a movement.
➡️ Why “family around the table” matters, especially for people without a home or loved ones to dine with.
➡️ How Redd’s own journey through addiction and homelessness fuels his mission to serve others with dignity.
➡️ The logistical challenges of feeding the hungry on a major holiday weekend — and how the team steps up every time.
➡️ The deeper message behind a warm meal for someone who may feel unseen this Thanksgiving.
➡️ How listeners can help, donate, volunteer, or support this year's Thanksgiving outreach.
➡️ The role of faith, gratitude, and calling in a mission built on compassion and community.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make Thanksgiving more meaningful — or how you can directly impact someone’s life this weekend — this conversation is for you.

Judge Tosses Comey & Letitia James Indictments — But Here’s the Catch (Ep 594)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A federal judge just threw out the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James — and the decision has a South Carolina twist.

Federal Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a longtime South Carolina jurist and Clinton appointee, ruled that the special prosecutor who brought the cases — Lindsey Halligan, a Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney — was not legally installed in the role.

The result? The indictments are dismissed, not because Comey and James were cleared of wrongdoing, but because of a procedural flaw in Halligan’s appointment.

The ruling is a major setback for President Trump’s Justice Department, though the White House says it will appeal.

Joey Hudson breaks down:
✅ What this ruling really means for Trump’s DOJ
✅ The legal loophole that killed the indictments
✅ Why this case runs straight through South Carolina
✅ Judge Currie’s background — from Florence to the federal bench
✅ And whether this opens the door for a re-filed case

WEEKEND: “Why You Can’t Get a Doctor’s Appointment — Dr. Oran Smith Explains the Crisis” (Ep 592)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today on Just the Truth with Joey Hudson we’re tackling two major issues affecting families right here in South Carolina — our growing doctor shortage and a heartbreaking victory for justice in Greenwood.

First up, Dr. Oran Smith, Senior Fellow at the Palmetto Promise Institute, joins us to break down a crisis impacting every American: a nationwide shortage of physicians that’s only getting worse. On average, Americans wait 20 days to see a doctor — and in rural and growing states like South Carolina, that delay can turn dangerous.

Dr. Smith explains how Senate Bill 376 could help fix the shortage by allowing qualified international physicians to practice in South Carolina through a streamlined licensing process. With a projected deficit of 86,000 doctors by 2036, the Palmetto Promise plan offers a real-world solution that puts patients first.

Then — a powerful update to a case we’ve been following for more than a year.

South Carolina Representative John McCravy joins us with the latest on Tiffany Jenae Carroll, the Greenwood mother of five who spent years behind bars after killing her abusive boyfriend during a violent domestic incident. After multiple denied parole hearings — including one where a required 2/3 vote fell short because a board member didn’t show up — Ms. Carroll has finally been granted parole.

Rep. McCravy explains how community support, law enforcement testimony, and a renewed understanding of domestic violence converged to overturn years of injustice. He also shares what’s next for Tiffany, what support she’ll receive, and why her case could reshape how South Carolina handles battered-spouse syndrome moving forward.

These are the stories shaping the future of healthcare, public safety, and justice in the Palmetto State — and we break them down with the experts who are on the front lines.

Democrats Melt Down After Trump Accuses Senators of “Sedition” (Ep 591)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Washington is heating up again as Democratic leaders accuse President Trump of “encouraging political violence” after he called out six Democrat senators for what he described as seditious behavior. But what they’re not telling you is what sparked this firestorm in the first place — a viral video of those same lawmakers urging military and intelligence officials to defy the Commander-in-Chief. We break down the full story, the spin, and what it means heading into 2026.

PLUS — Cracker Barrel is back in the news after a year filled with controversy. Following the company’s annual shareholder meeting, a board member with a heavy DEI background abruptly resigned. What does this mean for the iconic Southern brand? Is Cracker Barrel finally listening to its customer base?

We’re also diving into President Trump’s proposed $2,000 Tariff Dividend — real money in Americans’ pockets — but not everyone in Congress is on board. Some Republicans want the money to go toward paying down the exploding national debt instead of direct checks. Is this a smart economic move, or the next big debate inside the GOP?

And joining us on this Friday edition is South Carolina Lt. Governor Pamela Evette, as we head into Thanksgiving week.

New Bombshell in Charlie Kirk Assassination: Security Firm Blames UVU for Fatal Failures (Ep 590)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A major new development in the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk — and the details are disturbing. Charlie’s security director is speaking out for the first time, revealing shocking failures by Utah Valley University and law enforcement that may have left critical vulnerabilities wide open. We break it all down.

PLUS — ABC’s Jonathan Karl drops a truth grenade on “The Breakfast Club,” admitting Joe Biden’s decision to run again in 2024 was never seriously debated… and may have erased his entire presidency. Even Democrats are calling it “reckless.”

And in Washington, the Epstein drama gets even uglier. House Republicans failed to censure Stacey Plaskett over her documented communications with Jeffrey Epstein — and GOP members say it happened because leadership struck a backroom deal to protect one of their own. We expose the swamp politics behind the vote.

Finally, South Carolina State Rep. John McCravy joins us with an update on a Greenwood domestic-violence case we’ve been following for more than a year — and the unexpected breakthrough that has reunited a mother with her children.

“Epstein Files Going Public in 30 Days — Who’s Scared of the Truth Being Exposed?” (Ep 589)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Well folks… it was a whirlwind of a day in Washington. Both houses of Congress — yes, both — agreed to send the Epstein Files Disclosure Act straight to President Trump’s desk. That means every unclassified page, every memo, every interview transcript connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is now headed for the public vault. After years of rumors, leaks, and political games — the sunlight is coming. And we’ve got the very latest for you.

Meanwhile at the White House… things got a little heated. President Trump lit into ABC’s Mary Bruce during a press spray — accusing her of peddling fake news on Saudi Arabia and Epstein. He even suggested the FCC ought to take a hard look at ABC’s broadcast license. I’ve got the clip… and you’re going to want to hear it.

And back home in the Palmetto State… Congresswoman Nancy Mace is once again in national headlines — and once again, not for the right reasons. A bombshell Facebook post from Occupy Democrats claims to have obtained new court filings from her ex-fiancé… and the accusations read like a reality-TV script gone nuclear. Hacking, blackmail, “Jane Doe” conspiracies — and a judge now ordering names released.

A lot to unpack today… so let’s get to it.

—

✅ BLOCK 1 — FULL 11-MINUTE SEGMENT

Your tone: neutral delivery with conservative framing, Fox-style cadence

The Epstein political earthquake rolled right through Washington again yesterday — but this time, something remarkable happened. Senate Republicans didn’t block the vote. They didn’t stall it. They didn’t amend it. In fact… they opened the runway for the Epstein disclosure bill to head straight to President Trump’s desk.

And for a bill that insiders were calling “dead on arrival” just a week ago, this is a stunning turnaround.

Here’s why:

When the House passes something 427 to 1…

When even the most progressive members sign on…

And when President Trump himself says, quote, “We have nothing to hide — release it”…

Well, suddenly every political calculation in Washington changes.

✔ WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SENATE

Yesterday, Chuck Schumer marched onto the Senate floor demanding immediate passage — no amendments, no delays, no procedural traps. He warned Republicans not to “bury it in committee.”

But here’s the twist:
Republicans didn’t bury it.
They didn’t fight it.
They didn’t even insist on a roll-call vote.

It passed by unanimous consent — a rare moment of agreement that sent shockwaves through the Capitol.

The minute the House clerks finish the paperwork, this bill goes straight to the Resolute Desk for President Trump’s signature.

✔ WHAT THE BILL ACTUALLY REQUIRES

This bipartisan resolution — championed by Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna — forces the DOJ to:

• Release all unclassified Epstein & Maxwell documents

• Make them public in full

• Make them searchable and downloadable

• Release them within 30 days of the President signing it

No loopholes.
No slow-walk.
No bureaucratic tricks.

And here’s the big political point:
Most politicians hate transparency — especially transparency that involves Epstein. But Trump has been the exact opposite. He’s saying: turn the lights on.

And just as that dust was settling… things got spicy in the Oval Office.

---

✔ TRUMP VS. MARY BRUCE — THE CLIP

During a press spray with the Saudi Crown Prince, ABC’s Mary Bruce pressed Trump on Epstein and Saudi Arabia. Trump didn’t take kindly to it. He accused her of pushing fake news and even suggested the FCC look at pulling ABC’s broadcast license.

CUT #_____

You can hear the room tense up… and the Crown Prince sitting there stone-faced.

Say what you will — Trump never backs away from a media confrontation.

---

✔ WHY SENATE REPUBLICANS LET THE BILL MOVE

Behind the scenes, GOP leaders ran what’s known as the “hotline process” — basically checking whether any Republican objected to passing it immediately.

Normally, someone would.

But not this time.

Because here’s the truth:
Republicans would’ve looked guilty if they blocked Epstein transparency after the House voted 427–1.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune put it plainly:

“When a bill passes the House 427–1 and the President says he’ll sign it… changing it isn’t feasible.”

Translation:
The GOP wasn’t falling for a trap — and they turned the tables instead.

They’ll work separately to protect victims' privacy. But politically? They weren’t going to hand Democrats a talking point.

---

✔ THE BACKFIRE — DEMOCRATS ARE NERVOUS

Make no mistake — Democrats expected this bill to corner Donald Trump.

Instead?

Trump embraced it.
Republicans unified.
And now Democrats may be realizing they just opened the door to something they can’t control.

Because when these documents hit the public eye… we may see names, connections, travel logs, phone records, and correspondence involving people across:

• Hollywood

• Wall Street

• Academia

• Politics

• Royal families

• Foreign governments

And not all of those names belong to Republicans.

In fact… most don’t.

---

✔ FINAL TAKE

Here’s where we stand:

• Epstein was a predator

• Maxwell enabled him

• Powerful people protected them

And for 20 years, America has been denied the full truth.

President Trump says release everything.
Congress says release everything.
And now — for the first time — the DOJ is going to have to open the vault.

In 30 days, the public may finally see what elites have tried to bury.

And folks… that’s where the story really begins.
