BREAKING: Judge Apology Sparks Outrage | Financial Fear Soars in America (Ep 727)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A stunning moment in a federal courtroom — and a troubling look at how Americans are feeling about their future.

A federal judge is now under scrutiny after apologizing to the alleged would-be assassin of Donald Trump over conditions inside a detention facility. The case is raising serious questions about treatment of defendants, judicial conduct, and where the line is drawn when it comes to high-profile criminal cases. We break down what happened — and why it’s drawing such strong reaction.

At the same time, a new national poll reveals something even more concerning: nearly two-thirds of Americans say they are more afraid of running out of money than dying. This isn’t just about retirement — it’s about rising costs, inflation, healthcare expenses, and growing uncertainty about the future of the American dream.

Here in South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster says he will not call a special legislative session to redraw districts following a major decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. What does that mean for the state moving forward?

And joining us, Drew McKissick shares his reaction to the Court’s ruling and what it could mean for South Carolina and the broader national political landscape.

BREAKING: Trump’s “Project Freedom” | Robot Flight Delay & SC Death Penalty Case (Ep 726)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A wide-ranging show today — from global strategy to viral moments and a serious legal debate here in South Carolina.

President Donald Trump has announced “Project Freedom,” a new initiative aimed at keeping global shipping lanes open by guiding vessels safely through the Strait of Hormuz. With tensions still high in the region, we break down what this plan means for international trade, security, and what comes next.

Meanwhile, a bizarre moment in the skies — passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight were left waiting for over an hour… all because of a robot onboard. Yes, really. We’ll explain what happened and why it’s getting so much attention.

For parents, there’s a new option on the horizon — a Christian-based cell phone network promising to block explicit content and provide a safer digital experience for families. We’ll look at how it works and why it’s sparking conversation.

And here in South Carolina, a major legal question is unfolding. In the case of John Richard Wood, a judge has ruled that the state cannot carry out an execution if the inmate no longer understands the reason for the punishment. It’s a complex issue involving justice, mental capacity, and the law — and we take a deeper look at what’s at stake.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A major ruling from the nation’s highest court — and new details in a shocking security incident.

The Supreme Court of the United States has struck down Louisiana’s congressional maps, a decision Republicans say could have major implications for control of the House in the upcoming election. We break down what the ruling means and how it could reshape the political landscape.

Meanwhile, new information is emerging from the attempted attack on Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. According to a federal affidavit, a Secret Service officer who was wounded in the incident was the only agent to return fire — raising new questions about how the situation unfolded and how security protocols were executed.

In Washington, House Republicans have also advanced legislation to renew a controversial surveillance authority that allows intelligence agencies to monitor communications involving Americans — a move that is sparking renewed debate over privacy and national security.

And joining us today, Congresswoman Sheri Biggs discusses:

• Affordable healthcare and policy priorities
• Her response to the attempted attack
• What’s next for Congress moving forward

Iran War Talks Intensify | Minnesota Fraud Bust & SC Ethics Changes (Ep 722)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A major update on global tensions — and significant developments here at home.

New reports indicate Iran is preparing to submit a revised proposal aimed at ending its conflict with the United States. Mediators from Pakistan are expected to play a key role in negotiations, but challenges remain — including communication issues involving Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. We break down what’s in play and what it could mean for a potential deal.

Meanwhile, back in the U.S., the Federal Bureau of Investigation carried out coordinated raids across Minnesota, targeting more than 20 locations — including child care centers — as part of a sweeping fraud investigation tied to social services programs. This phase of the operation is focused on financial crimes, not immigration enforcement, and raises serious questions about oversight and accountability.

And here in South Carolina, lawmakers are moving to tighten ethics rules. A new proposal would require legislators to get approval before receiving any state funds outside of their official salaries — a move that comes amid an ongoing investigation into a lawmaker’s nonprofit compensation.

Security Failure? | WHCD Shooting & Suspect Manifesto Revealed (Ep 720)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A chaotic and alarming weekend in Washington — as new details emerge surrounding a shocking incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

President Donald Trump was reportedly the target of an attempted attack during the high-profile event, raising serious concerns about security at one of the nation’s most closely watched gatherings. We break down everything we know so far — and what questions still remain.

Authorities say the accused gunman, Cole Allen, sent a disturbing manifesto to family members just minutes before the incident. We’ll walk through what’s being reported and what investigators are focusing on as they piece together motive and intent.

The media response is also drawing scrutiny. 60 Minutes is facing backlash after airing portions of the suspect’s manifesto — a move critics argue may cross a line in how these events are covered.

And perhaps most concerning — new questions about security failures at the Washington Hilton. Reports indicate guests were able to check in without undergoing full weapons screening, potentially allowing the suspect to bring weapons into the vicinity of the event.
