Is Iran About to Escalate? | Karoline Leavitt Leaving White House (Ep 808)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers a new warning about Iran, a surprise departure from the Trump White House, the growing frustration with automated customer service, and finally—a new $15 billion budget for South Carolina. Retired Gen. Jack Keane is warning that Iran could become increasingly aggressive as the conflict enters a new phase. Keane argues Tehran may believe President Donald Trump will be reluctant to launch major new military operations with the midterm elections approaching. Is Iran preparing to test the President? We have our latest Iran update. Meanwhile, President Trump made a surprise announcement involving one of the most recognizable faces in his administration. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her position at the end of the month to spend more time with her family. We'll discuss the announcement and what's next for the White House communications operation. Then we're getting personal. Have you noticed how difficult it's becoming to simply TALK TO A HUMAN BEING when you need customer service? My 88-year-old mother recently lost her AT&T landline service following a thunderstorm. She called for help and thought she was talking to a woman who wanted to text her information. The problem? There wasn't a woman on the other end—it was an automated system. For younger customers who live on their smartphones, maybe that's an inconvenience. For an 88-year-old who depends on her telephone, it's an entirely different matter. When companies take our money every month, don't they have an obligation to provide customer service their customers can actually access? We'll talk about whether automation, AI and cost-cutting are leaving older Americans behind. And finally, South Carolina has a budget! Six weeks after the fiscal year began, state lawmakers approved a roughly $15 billion spending plan. The final agreement eliminates legislator-requested earmarks while maintaining increased property tax relief for older homeowners. We'll break down what made it into the final budget, what was left out, and what South Carolina taxpayers need to know. 📩 Join our mailing list at JoeyHudson.com 📱 Firmin Ford Text Line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) Subscribe for daily political analysis, breaking national news, South Carolina politics and conversations about the issues affecting American families.
