"Guns, Grievances & The Carolinas: From Charleston’s Legacy to Trump’s Base Battle"

In this powerful collection of Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson segments, listeners are immersed in a whirlwind of Southern politics, national controversy, and cultural updates. The show covers a range of hot-button issues—from Rep. James Clyburn’s renewed push to close the “Charleston Loophole” nearly a decade after the tragic Mother Emanuel church shooting, to sharp conservative critiques of extended gun background checks and Democratic gun control efforts. Joey also weighs in on Donald Trump’s announcement to reverse military base name changes tied to Confederate leaders, framing it as a patriotic stand against "woke politics." Commentary touches on mental health, government inefficiency, and the consequences of ignoring deeper societal issues. Amid the politics, there's local flavor too—promotions for the Walhalla Performing Arts Center’s summer lineup and giveaways for concert tickets bring Upstate charm to the mix. Through it all, Joey offers sharp commentary, a voice for conservative Carolinians, and a reminder that “God’s still in control.”
