Iran’s Inner Turmoil | Cold Case Twist & SC Boom Explained (Ep 716)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A major power struggle may be unfolding inside Iran — and it could have serious implications for any future peace deal.

New reports suggest the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is tightening its grip on power, blocking presidential appointments and surrounding Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei with heightened security. What does this mean for stability inside Iran — and for negotiations with the United States? We break it down.

Meanwhile, a jaw-dropping breakthrough in a decades-old cold case. A Washington man has now pleaded guilty after investigators used a simple — and surprisingly clever — tactic involving a piece of chewing gum to link him to the crimes. It’s one of those stories that reminds you: criminals don’t always think things through.

Back here at home, Congressman William Timmons joins us to discuss:

• The latest on funding the Department of Homeland Security
• Whether America’s young people are prepared for military service
• Key issues coming out of Washington

And here’s a big headline for the Palmetto State — South Carolina is now officially the fastest-growing state in the nation, according to new Census data. We’ll talk about what’s driving the growth — and whether it’s a blessing, a challenge, or a little bit of both.

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.

New developments out of Iran suggest a potential breakthrough may still be on the table. 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.

Back in Washington, the political drama continues to escalate. Former Congressman Eric Swalwell is facing additional allegations just hours before stepping down from Congress — deepening an already explosive situation and raising major questions about accountability.

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.
