Government Shutdown Fight Escalates | Are Foreign Investors Pricing Out Americans? (Ep 687)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Washington is still locked in a standoff over the partial government shutdown, and the debate is now centered on immigration enforcement and funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Senate Democrats say they want to reopen the government, but they have repeatedly blocked Republican efforts to restore funding for Department of Homeland Security as they push for changes to immigration policy. The question now is whether a compromise can be reached before the shutdown drags on even longer. Meanwhile, a new housing study is raising alarm bells across the country. The report shows that foreign buyers are purchasing U.S. homes at a record pace, raising concerns that young American families are being priced out of the housing market as global investors compete for limited housing supply. We’ll break down what the numbers show and what it could mean for the future of homeownership in the United States. Closer to home, Drew McKissick joins the show to discuss the opening of the candidate filing period in South Carolina, marking the official start of another critical election season in the Palmetto State. And later in the program, broadcaster Mike Gallagher stops by to talk about the Food for the Poor campaign, an effort aimed at helping families in need. As part of the campaign, Mike and Joey will be hosting a special private lunch for donors supporting the initiative.
