Another major breaking news day — from heated political rhetoric to a stunning legal development in South Carolina.
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid and commentator Wajahat Ali are facing backlash after launching into a fiery rant targeting “weak White conservative men” during a recent episode of “The Joy Reid Show.” The comments included attacks on Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and conservative voters — sparking strong reactions online and across political circles.

And here in South Carolina, the South Carolina Supreme Court delivered a bombshell ruling — ordering a new trial for Alex Murdaugh in the murders of his wife and son. The decision comes amid ongoing debates over redistricting and legislative maneuvering in Columbia, adding even more drama to an already intense political week in the Palmetto State.

A packed show today — from the Middle East to restaurant tipping and major political developments in South Carolina.
Pete Hegseth told lawmakers during Capitol Hill testimony that the United States now has “control” of the Strait of Hormuz as tensions involving Iran continue. Hegseth also pushed back on reports suggesting America is running low on munitions amid the ongoing conflict, while defending the Pentagon’s record-breaking $1.5 trillion budget request.
Meanwhile, a debate is heating up ahead of the World Cup. Restaurant leaders in Missouri are proposing automatic gratuities for customers — especially international visitors unfamiliar with American tipping culture. Critics say it punishes customers regardless of service quality, while supporters argue it protects workers’ income.
Back here in South Carolina, the state Senate rejected calls to redraw congressional districts ahead of the primaries, despite pressure tied to the recent Supreme Court of the United States ruling on race and redistricting.
And another political battle may be heading to federal court — the South Carolina Republican Party says it plans to challenge the state’s open primary system, arguing political parties should have greater control over who selects their nominees.
🎯 In Today’s Show:
- Pete Hegseth testifies on Iran conflict and Pentagon budget
- Strait of Hormuz update
- Debate over automatic restaurant tipping
- SC Senate rejects congressional redistricting effort
- Open primary lawsuit headed to federal court

Today on Just the Truth, we focus on two South Carolina organizations working to protect young people, strengthen families, and build healthier communities across the state.
First, Joey talks with Martine Helou about RIZE Prevention and their upcoming first-ever fundraising gala, “A Night to RIZE: All That Jazz.” After five years of mentoring young people, promoting prevention programs, and helping students make positive life choices, RIZE is celebrating a major milestone with an evening featuring live jazz music, New Orleans cuisine, auctions, awards, and NFL Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins as keynote speaker.
Then, Joey speaks with Chelby Drafts of Just Say Something about the organization’s statewide “Preserve Your Air” campaign in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Public Health. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of youth vaping and smoking while reaching more than 3 million South Carolinians through education, prevention, counseling, and family support services.
These conversations highlight the growing challenges facing families today—and the people stepping up to make a difference before young lives are impacted by addiction, mental health struggles, and destructive choices.
