Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A busy day of politics, controversy, and South Carolina headlines.

New details are emerging about President Donald Trump’s planned America 250 celebration as reports indicate several entertainers have withdrawn from the event. We break down what’s happening, the political reaction, and what organizers are saying about the growing controversy.

Meanwhile, fallout continues from the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Following the public backlash against social media users who celebrated his death, reports now suggest that some individuals who lost jobs or faced disciplinary action have pursued legal claims and received financial settlements. We discuss the broader debate over free speech, employment consequences, and public reaction.

Back here in South Carolina, a jury acquitted a convenience store owner who spent three years in jail awaiting trial after being charged with murder in the shooting death of an armed teenager outside his business. The verdict is sparking strong reactions and raising questions about self-defense, pretrial detention, and the criminal justice system.

And joining us today is Rom Reddy as the race for governor enters the final stretch before the June 9 primary election.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A major diplomatic development in the Middle East is making headlines around the world.

Donald Trump says he personally persuaded Benjamin Netanyahu to call off a planned strike on Beirut and turn Israeli forces around following what reports describe as a heated conversation between the two leaders. We break down the latest developments and what this could mean for stability in the region.

Meanwhile, the United States Department of Justice is reportedly preparing to cancel the administration’s $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund after facing bipartisan criticism on Capitol Hill. Even some Republican lawmakers raised concerns about oversight, eligibility, and how the funds could be distributed.

Also making news, a church in the Nantucket area has canceled its annual Fourth of July readings for the first time in a quarter century, citing political concerns following a recent Supreme Court voting rights decision. The controversy has sparked debate over patriotism, civic traditions, and the role of politics in religious institutions.

And here in South Carolina, gubernatorial candidate Ralph Norman has selected former state representative Adam Morgan as his running mate for lieutenant governor. Supporters are calling it a “Freedom Caucus ticket” as the campaign begins to take shape ahead of next year’s election.

Iran in Turmoil? | Federal Lawyers Exit & Freedom Farm Fest Surprise (Ep 749)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A busy day of headlines from around the world and right here at home.

Reports from Iran suggest growing turmoil inside the regime as the country’s president has reportedly submitted a letter of resignation to the office of the Supreme Leader. We break down what’s being reported, what it could mean for ongoing negotiations with the United States, and whether deeper instability is developing inside Tehran.

Meanwhile, according to reporting from The New York Times, more than 10,000 federal lawyers have left government service since Donald Trump returned to office. Is this streamlining government bureaucracy, or could it create challenges for federal agencies? We examine both sides of the debate.

Plus, a bizarre incident forced a United Airlines flight to return to Newark after a Bluetooth device name triggered a security concern. The device reportedly belonged to a 16-year-old passenger, but the situation created major disruption and raised new questions about airline security procedures.

And closer to home, we recap a successful Freedom Farm Fest, where patriots from across the region gathered to hear candidates and discuss the issues shaping the future of South Carolina and the nation. There was also a very special surprise that left me both honored and humbled — and I’ll share that story later in the program.

Donald Trump says any agreement with Iran will depend on securing what he calls a “good deal” for the United States. As negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program intensify, we break down the latest developments, the key sticking points, and what a potential agreement could mean for national security and energy prices.

Meanwhile, the 2028 presidential conversation is already heating up. A new survey from Emerson College Polling shows Marco Rubio surging to within a single percentage point of Vice President JD Vance among potential Republican presidential contenders. We examine the numbers and what they may signal about the future of the GOP.

And in a case that rocked the insurance industry, a North Carolina billionaire has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after being convicted of bribery and what federal prosecutors described as one of the largest insurance fraud schemes in history. The case impacted more than 2,000 insurance customers and involved billions of dollars. We’ll walk through the final chapter of this years-long legal battle.

Jill Biden Bombshell, Trans Athlete Controversy & Southern Baptist Rift (Ep 747)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A revealing new admission from Jill Biden is reigniting questions about the now-infamous 2024 debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

In a recent interview, Jill Biden says she feared her husband might have been “having a stroke” during the disastrous debate performance that stunned millions of Americans. Critics are now asking why the public is only hearing these concerns now — long after the election and months after widespread questions about President Biden’s health first surfaced.

Meanwhile, the national debate over transgender athletes in girls’ sports continues to intensify. As the Supreme Court of the United States appears poised to weigh in on a major West Virginia case, the transgender athlete at the center of the controversy just won a girls state championship in track and field — adding more fuel to an already heated national conversation about fairness in women’s sports.

And inside the evangelical world, a growing disagreement between Albert Mohler and Beth Moore is drawing attention to larger questions surrounding the role of women in church leadership and teaching.

Plus, new census data shows South Carolina now leads the nation in population growth. We’ll show you which communities are booming — and why so many Americans are relocating to the Palmetto State.

BREAKING: Ken Paxton Defeats John Cornyn | SC Senate Rejects Redistricting (Ep 746)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Another major political shakeup as Donald Trump continues to flex his influence inside the Republican Party.

In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton scored a major primary victory over longtime Senator John Cornyn in one of the most closely watched Republican races in the country. We break down what the results could mean for the future of the GOP and why Trump-backed candidates continue to dominate key primaries.

Meanwhile, redistricting battles are erupting across the country. A federal court blocked Alabama Republicans from implementing a congressional map designed to potentially give the GOP another seat in the U.S. House.

And here in South Carolina, the state Senate rejected a White House-backed effort to redraw congressional districts during a special session called by Governor Henry McMaster. In a dramatic 26-18 vote — including opposition from 14 Republicans — the proposal failed, effectively ending the push for now.

Add in record turnout during the first day of early voting, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most politically charged election seasons in years.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Major developments overseas and here at home as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East.

United States Central Command confirmed that U.S. forces carried out “self-defense strikes” in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats after threats against American forces. We break down what happened, why the strikes were ordered, and what this could mean for the region moving forward.

Meanwhile, Americans are already feeling the economic effects. According to reports, families were expected to spend nearly $2 billion more on gasoline this Memorial Day weekend compared to last year. With summer travel season underway, concerns are growing about what continued tensions with Iran could mean for fuel prices nationwide.

Back in South Carolina, the Senate has tentatively approved a White House-backed congressional map that could reshape the political landscape ahead of the midterm elections. A final vote could happen as early as today, even as early voting begins.

And joining us today is David Atchley, candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s 4th District. We discuss the possibility of the June 9 primary being pushed back to August and the issues voters are talking about on the campaign trail.
