Hamas Violates Ceasefire Again: Schumer Prolongs Shutdown (Ep 572)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Shalom from day two in Israel…broadcasting from the Jewish News Syndicate …

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered "immediate and powerful strikes" just down the road in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday after an Israeli military official told the media that Hamas violated the ceasefire….again.

I will be sharing with you a conversation I had yesterday with Uri Avouskine about what the people of Israel really believe about the peace agreement with Hamas and where he thinks we are headed.

Also today….Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked Republicans’ 13th attempt to reopen the government after having nearly a week to mull their options — pressure is starting to boil over  with a series of drop dead deadlines rapidly closing in.

FROM JERUSALEM: Inside Gaza’s Hidden Danger:Landmines Killing Civilians Daily (Ep 571)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Broadcasting from Jerusalem | Just the Truth with Joey Hudson

We’re on the ground in Jerusalem, broadcasting all week from the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) — bringing you firsthand coverage of life after the Israel–Gaza ceasefire.

In today’s episode:

🇮🇱 Americans and the Israel–Gaza War — A brand-new survey from the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs reveals how U.S. attitudes toward the conflict are changing. While most Americans still side with Israel over Hamas, there’s a noticeable rise in empathy for Palestinian civilians. What does this mean for U.S. foreign policy, and for President Trump’s ongoing efforts to maintain peace in the region?

💣 The Hidden War After the War — Thousands of landmines still buried across Gaza are maiming and killing civilians every day. We look at the humanitarian crisis few in the media are covering — and the global effort to find and destroy those hidden weapons.

🗳️ Local Elections Matter — Back home in South Carolina, municipal elections are next Tuesday, November 4th! We’ll talk with Greenville Water Commissioner Deb Sofield about why local offices — mayors, councils, and water boards — matter more than most people realize.

🎙️ Plus: Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in Israel this week fine-tuning the ceasefire agreement before our arrival — we’ll share what his visit means for stability in the region.

👉 Stay with us all week for exclusive interviews, on-the-ground reports, and updates from Jerusalem.

1,000+ Memphis Arrests, 70+ Kids Found | Dems Call Shutdown “Leverage” (Ep 568)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Democrats are now calling the ongoing government shutdown “leverage,” while Republicans blast it as political hostage-taking. We break down the stalemate—and what it means for paychecks, defense, and negotiations.

In Memphis, President Trump’s federal crime crackdown reports 1,000+ arrests, over 100 alleged gang members off the streets, and dozens of missing children located—what the operation is targeting and how long it lasts.

Back home, South Carolina’s state-owned utility Santee Cooper is poised to choose partners to revive the partially built V.C. Summer AP1000 reactors—potentially transforming a costly failure into reliable, carbon-free baseload power. What the plan could mean for rates, reliability, and the state’s booming data-center/manufacturing demand.

Plus: Lt. Governor Pamela Evette joins the show to talk South Carolina growth, energy, jobs, and how the Palmetto State navigates the national turbulence.

Topics: government shutdown leverage vs. hostage-taking, Memphis crime sweep results, missing children recoveries, SC nuclear reboot (V.C. Summer/AP1000), interview with Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Demolition kicks off on President Trump’s $250M White House ballroom—the largest East Wing expansion in 70+ years—while America’s national debt blasts past $38 trillion. We break down what the Minnesota Supreme Court’s powerlifting ruling means for women’s sports, and why the NFL is sticking with Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show despite backlash. Plus: what history tells us about big White House overhauls—and why this one’s different.

TOP STORIES

• White House renovation begins: East Wing demolition for Trump’s glass-lined ballroom (capacity ~900). How it compares to Teddy Roosevelt’s West Wing, FDR’s East Wing/bunker, Truman’s gut-and-rebuild, and Jackie Kennedy’s restoration.

• Debt passes $38T: Why interest costs now rival core federal priorities, and what CBO trajectories mean for families, rates, and inflation.

• Minnesota Supreme Court ruling: Biological male wins women’s powerlifting case under MN Human Rights Act—what this precedent could mean for Title IX and private athletic orgs.

• NFL halftime controversy: League confirms Bad Bunny for Super Bowl LX; unity vs. ratings, culture-war optics, and fan pushback.

SEGMENTS

• Block 4 (≈10:05): $38,019,813,354,700.26—debt math in real life: interest, demographics, deficits, and what “maintenance debt” means for you.

KEY QUOTES & TAKEAWAYS

• “Largest White House expansion since the Truman era.”

• “Debt added faster than ever—interest now the silent budget killer.”

• “Courts vs. competition: who defines ‘fair’ in women’s sports?”

• “Halftime shows: popularity isn’t the same as unity.”

Trump Blasts Schumer as Shutdown Showdown Heats Up | Bible Sales Surge After Charlie Kirk Assassination (Ep 566)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

President Trump slams Senate Democrats over government shutdown; Turning Point USA Faith reports explosive growth after Charlie Kirk's assassination. Bible sales hit record highs. Updates on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and more.

---

Block 1: Trump Accuses Schumer of Holding Government Hostage

President Donald Trump isn't mincing words: Senate Democrats, led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, are to blame for the ongoing government shutdown. Now entering its third week, the shutdown centers on Senate Democrats refusing to pass a clean continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded.

Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, Trump declared, "Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats need to vote for the clean, bipartisan CR and reopen our government."

Trump’s frustration was palpable. He accused Schumer and his allies of political extortion, saying, "We will not be extorted on this crazy plot of theirs."

Trump reminded Americans of the booming economy, reduced inflation, and surging investment. "In the greatest moment in the history of our country... these guys go on strike," he said. "It’s really a shame."

The president tied the Democrats' actions to their increasingly radical base, joking, "He’s even losing to AOC plus three," referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive Democrats.

Trump vowed to hold the line and urged Americans to demand accountability, closing with, "We don’t need ransom politics. We need responsible governance."

Block 2: Turning Point USA Faith Surges After Charlie Kirk's Assassination

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination, Turning Point USA Faith has seen unprecedented growth. The organization’s church network has doubled in size in just a few weeks, jumping from 4,000 to 8,000 churches.

Over 200,000 new believers have engaged with TPUSA Faith since Kirk’s death. On social media, engagement has surged over 1,000%, signaling a revival movement that many see as divinely inspired.

Spokesman Andrew Kolvet described the moment as "revival-like," saying Kirk’s message has reawakened faith across the country. "We’re seeing families come back to church. People are praying again."

TPUSA Faith has ramped up its outreach with online devotionals, prayer groups, and pastoral resources. "This is a movement built on faith and freedom," Kolvet said. "Charlie’s legacy is fueling a nationwide revival."

---

Block 3: Bible Sales Skyrocket After Tragedy

According to the Wall Street Journal, Bible sales in the U.S. soared in September following Kirk’s assassination. Retail data from Circana BookScan revealed 2.4 million Bibles sold—a 36% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

It marked the highest-selling month for Bibles this year, confirming a national spiritual awakening in the face of tragedy.

"There’s a renewed hunger for truth," said Kolvet. "People are searching for something bigger than politics, and they’re finding it in God’s word."

Block 4: Trump Derangement Syndrome? Trump Supporter Targeted in NC Shooting

In a disturbing case out of Western North Carolina, Mark Thomas, a river-rafting business owner, says he was shot at after a man tore down a Trump banner from his yard.

Police later arrested 38-year-old Benjamin Campbell, an Atlanta accountant, who allegedly returned to the scene and fired multiple shots. Charges include felony assault with a deadly weapon.

Thomas, whose elderly mother was at home during the attack, told reporters he only fired warning shots to protect his property. "It’s political rage taken too far," he said. "This wasn’t just vandalism. This was attempted murder."

---

Block 5: Ralph Norman on Shutdown, Israel-Hamas Ceasefire

South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman joined the show to weigh in on the shutdown, echoing Trump’s stance. "This is about fiscal sanity. We can’t let the far left dictate terms."

Norman also spoke on the fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire, saying, "We must stand with Israel while pushing for regional stability."

He cautioned that any deal must include the return of hostages and disarmament of Hamas-affiliated groups.
