Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Could a major economic blow finally push Iran toward ending the war? Today we're looking at a dramatic move by the United Arab Emirates, Derek Chauvin's latest attempt to overturn his murder conviction, Nancy Mace's surprising look at life after Congress—and the South Carolina Senate debate moment that went viral nationwide. 🇮🇷 IRAN JUST LOST A CRITICAL ECONOMIC LIFELINE The United Arab Emirates has suspended trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran after accusing Tehran of firing ballistic missiles toward maritime traffic. This could be a major development. The UAE has been one of Iran's most important commercial partners and a crucial connection to the international financial system. If that economic door closes, how much additional pressure does it put on Tehran? President Trump has repeatedly argued that economic pressure can accomplish what military force alone cannot: force Iran back to the negotiating table. Could this be the pressure point that finally changes the course of the war? We have our latest Iran update. ⚖️ DEREK CHAUVIN WANTS HIS MURDER CONVICTION THROWN OUT Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is making another attempt to overturn his state murder conviction in the death of George Floyd. Chauvin has filed a new petition challenging his conviction—and this time he has a very prominent supporter. Elon Musk wrote on X: "Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder, therefore he should be freed." We'll examine the arguments Chauvin is making, the evidence his attorneys say deserves another look and what would have to happen for his conviction to actually be vacated. 🇺🇸 NANCY MACE REVEALS WHAT'S NEXT—AND NINE TATTOOS?! South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace is preparing for life after Congress—and apparently we're learning a few things about her along the way. Mace has revealed that she has nine tattoos and discussed some of their personal meanings as she prepares to leave the House. We'll talk about the tattoos, what Mace says she's planning next and why the outspoken South Carolina congresswoman continues to generate headlines. 🎤 THE QUESTION GRETA VAN SUSTEREN WISHES SHE HADN'T ASKED And then there's the moment from Tuesday night's South Carolina U.S. Senate debate that has gone national. Sen. Darline Graham and Congressman Ralph Norman were participating in a Newsmax debate when moderator Greta Van Susteren asked a question that produced an answer almost immediately destined to go viral. Now Van Susteren says she regrets asking it. We'll play the moment, talk about what happened and discuss whether one awkward answer should really matter when voters are choosing their next United States senator. With South Carolina's special Republican Senate runoff approaching, this race suddenly has a whole lot more national attention. 📩 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.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' warning about ideological intolerance at some of America's most prestigious universities, the continuing national debate over transgender athletes competing in women's sports, and the developing race for a seat on the South Carolina Supreme Court. ⚖️ CLARENCE THOMAS NAMES NAMES Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says there are elite American institutions where prominent conservatives essentially understand that they're not welcome. And Thomas isn't speaking in generalities—he named names. During a discussion hosted by the Hoover Institution, Thomas specifically talked about Stanford Law School and his experiences with other elite universities. Thomas said there are certain places that are simply considered "presumptively off limits" to conservative speakers. Think about that. Universities are supposed to be places where competing ideas are debated, challenged and defended. So what happens when students are increasingly exposed only to viewpoints that professors and administrators find acceptable? We'll examine Thomas' comments and the larger question of whether America's universities still value genuine intellectual diversity. 🏃‍♀️ AMERICA REMAINS DIVIDED OVER TRANSGENDER ATHLETES The battle over transgender athletes competing in women's sports continues across America. Fox News Digital recently spoke with Americans who offered sharply different opinions on whether biological males who identify as transgender women should be permitted to compete against female athletes. Supporters argue it's an issue of inclusion and equal treatment. Opponents argue there's a fundamental issue of competitive fairness because of the physical advantages associated with male puberty. We'll hear the arguments and discuss a question that's increasingly being decided by legislatures, athletic organizations and the courts: Can America protect opportunities for female athletes while also treating transgender Americans with dignity and respect? 🏛️ WHO WILL JOIN THE SOUTH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT? The race for a seat on South Carolina's highest court is taking shape. At least five judges have filed as candidates, including two sitting South Carolina Court of Appeals judges and the former wife of a late Republican state representative. Unlike most states, South Carolina voters don't directly elect Supreme Court justices. Members of the General Assembly ultimately choose them. We'll look at who's running, how the process works and why the selection of a state Supreme Court justice matters to every South Carolinian. 📩 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.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers the soaring price of beef and its potential impact on the November midterm elections, a New York socialist lawmaker's controversial comments about shoplifting, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's fight over proposed Muslim washing facilities at DFW Airport, and the latest developments surrounding the Alex Murdaugh retrial. 🥩 WHY IS BEEF SO EXPENSIVE? Relief from record-high beef prices may depend on something America can't fix overnight: rebuilding the nation's shrinking cattle herd. America entered 2026 with one of its smallest cattle inventories in decades, putting continued pressure on the price of hamburger, steaks and other beef products. And this isn't simply an agriculture story anymore—it's becoming a political story. When voters walk into a grocery store, they don't need an economist to tell them whether they can afford dinner. With affordability already a major issue, could stubbornly high beef prices become another problem for Republicans heading into November's midterm elections? 🛒 A "BIOLOGICAL NEED" TO SHOPLIFT? A socialist New York state lawmaker is facing criticism after arguing that some people steal because of what she described as a "biological need." We'll put those comments into context and discuss the larger debate over shoplifting, crime, poverty and personal responsibility. If stealing merchandise can be justified as meeting a biological need, where exactly does society draw the line? ✈️ GREG ABBOTT STEPS INTO DFW AIRPORT CONTROVERSY Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is challenging plans involving Islamic wudu washing facilities at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Abbott argues that a government-owned airport cannot provide preferential treatment to one religion and has ordered a review of state funding involving major Texas airports. Is this about religious accommodation—or government giving one faith special treatment? We'll examine both sides of the debate. ⚖️ THE ALEX MURDAUGH SAGA ISN'T OVER The Alex Murdaugh case is once again dominating headlines as preparations begin for his new murder trial. After the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh's murder convictions over issues involving former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill, attention now turns toward the retrial. What will prosecutors do differently? What will the defense argue? And can prosecutors convince another South Carolina jury beyond a reasonable doubt? The world watched the first trial—and there's little doubt they'll be watching again. 📩 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.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers a new federal Medicaid fraud crackdown in Pennsylvania, the possibility of a dramatically larger progressive "Squad" in Congress, Senator Tommy Tuberville's unusual ChatGPT habit, and growing questions over a $150 million cost overrun involving South Carolina's Scout Motors project. We begin with taxpayer fraud. The Justice Department's expanded anti-fraud effort has produced a sweeping series of Medicaid fraud cases in Pennsylvania. Some of the allegations bear striking similarities to fraud schemes uncovered in Minnesota involving government-funded social service programs. But there's an important difference between what's happening in Pennsylvania and what happened in Minnesota—and we'll explain why that difference matters. Then there's the battle for control of Congress. Could the progressive group of House Democrats known as "The Squad" be about to get much bigger? The New York Post is calling it the "Super Squad," reporting that a wave of progressive candidates winning Democratic primaries could potentially double the group's numbers following November's midterm elections. We'll look at who could be joining the group, what they believe, and what a larger progressive bloc could mean for the Democratic Party and the next Congress. And apparently I'm not the only person talking to ChatGPT! Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville says he sometimes talks with ChatGPT to pass the time during long drives across Alabama. What exactly does a United States senator talk about with an AI chatbot? We'll have some fun with that one—and discuss how rapidly artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday American life. Finally, we head back to South Carolina. The state is facing questions over a reported $150 million cost overrun connected to preparing the Richland County site for Scout Motors' new electric vehicle manufacturing plant. Lawmakers have now put potential additional funding on hold while the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council investigates what happened. How does a project end up $150 million over its original projections? Who knew what—and when? And ultimately, could South Carolina taxpayers be asked to pick up the tab? Those are questions lawmakers are now demanding be answered. 📩 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 taxpayers.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers a disturbing California murder case that's reigniting the sanctuary-state debate, a remarkable new development in a surrogate pregnancy dispute, another battle over President Trump's name at the Kennedy Center, and the question millions of Americans are asking: If inflation is getting better, why doesn't it feel like it? We begin in California, where 36-year-old Marcos Iriarte-Valdez is accused of fatally stabbing 68-year-old Todd Stewart during a residential burglary—just one day after Iriarte-Valdez had been released from custody. The Department of Homeland Security says Iriarte-Valdez is a Venezuelan national who is in the United States illegally and has sharply criticized California's sanctuary policies. We'll examine the timeline, what happened before his release, and the questions being raised about whether this tragedy could have been prevented. Then, there's a new development in the extraordinary case involving a surrogate mother who refused the biological parents' request that she abort the child after serious medical problems were detected during the pregnancy. The dispute raises difficult questions about parental rights, surrogacy contracts, the rights of the woman carrying the child, abortion, disability, and ultimately—who gets to decide whether an unborn child lives or dies? We'll bring you the latest. President Donald Trump's name could also be headed back to the Kennedy Center. The board of trustees has again voted to add Trump's name following an earlier court fight over whether such a change can legally be made without congressional approval. We'll explain what's happening and why this fight over the name of one of America's premier cultural institutions isn't over yet. And finally—are you feeling better about the economy? Former Trump economic adviser Steve Moore says America has "turned the corner" on inflation, pointing to the latest consumer and wholesale inflation reports as evidence that price pressures are finally moving in the right direction. The numbers may be improving—but that's not necessarily the same thing as prices going back down. Americans are still paying dramatically more for groceries, housing, insurance, utilities and many everyday necessities than they were several years ago. So today we're asking a simple question: If economists say inflation is improving, are American families actually feeling the improvement? We'll separate the inflation rate from the actual cost of living and talk about why affordability remains such an important issue for millions of Americans. 📩 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.

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.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers a sweeping new abortion law in Massachusetts, newly released Anthony Fauci text messages, extraordinary details about a secret security operation involving President Trump in Turkey, and the results of South Carolina's special Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed legislation changing the state's abortion laws and eliminating its previous gestational limit in certain circumstances. Supporters celebrated the measure as an expansion of reproductive rights, while pro-life advocates say Massachusetts has adopted one of the most permissive abortion policies in America. We break down what the new law actually says and why it's generating national attention. Also today, Dr. Anthony Fauci is facing renewed scrutiny following the release of text messages concerning COVID-19, vaccines, and the government's response to the pandemic. The messages have prompted Sen. Roger Marshall and others to call for a special counsel investigation with the authority to pursue criminal charges if warranted. We'll examine what the texts reveal and the questions investigators want answered. Then there's an extraordinary story involving President Donald Trump's security. The New York Post reports that video appears to show President Trump secretly being transported inside a catering truck at a Turkish airport before boarding a military aircraft following the NATO summit. Meanwhile, Air Force One reportedly remained in place as a decoy—with members of the press and even some White House personnel apparently unaware of the operation. If that's accurate, it's a remarkable glimpse into the extraordinary security precautions surrounding a sitting president facing credible threats. And here in South Carolina, the votes are counted in the special Republican primary to fill the U.S. Senate seat held for decades by the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Who came out on top? Who is headed to the August 25 runoff? And what do the results tell us about what Republican voters want from their next U.S. senator?

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Two major political stories are making headlines today. First, former Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism after warning Americans that the SAVE Act would require citizens to prove their identity before voting. Conservatives argue that her criticism actually strengthened support for the bill by highlighting its focus on election security and citizenship verification. Then we turn to Michigan, where Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed appeared to acknowledge that a Medicare-for-All system would require Americans at all income levels to pay higher taxes. We'll break down the facts, examine the arguments from both sides, and discuss what these stories could mean heading into the midterm elections. What do you think? Should voter identification requirements be strengthened? And would you be willing to pay higher taxes in exchange for government-funded healthcare? Join the conversation in the comments.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers the latest developments involving Iran and Israel, a security incident involving fighter jets over New Jersey, a growing controversy in women's basketball, and the latest developments in South Carolina's race to replace Senator Lindsey Graham. According to reports from Axios, President Donald Trump is signaling that he is in no hurry to launch additional military strikes against Iran, believing that economic pressure and ongoing negotiations could ultimately force Tehran back to the bargaining table. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a new proposal aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas fully disarms. We'll also examine an unusual security situation in New Jersey after the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) announced that F-16 fighter aircraft intercepted multiple civilian planes that entered restricted airspace near President Trump's golf club in Bedminster. In the world of sports, another controversy has erupted in the WNBA after Sophie Cunningham criticized DiJonai Carrington following a hard foul and a subsequent social media dispute involving accusations of racial bias and privilege. Finally, South Carolina Republicans head to the polls as political observers continue debating an important question: Are voters looking for someone who will follow the path laid out by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, or are they seeking a different direction? 🎯 In Today's Show President Trump's latest strategy regarding Iran.

President Donald Trump is pushing back against reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could soon be replaced. The president dismissed the speculation and publicly reaffirmed his support for Hegseth as questions continue to circulate in Washington. Also on today's program, we'll bring you the remarkable story of Igor Andrusceak, a metro Atlanta businessman whose family vacation to Jamaica turned into a nightmare after authorities discovered ammunition magazines in his luggage. Although no firearm was found, Jamaican law imposes severe penalties for weapons-related offenses, and he now faces the possibility of spending years behind bars. We'll also discuss another controversy involving Flock license plate recognition technology after a law enforcement officer was accused of improperly accessing information to monitor her boyfriend's former wife. Critics argue the incident raises additional concerns about privacy, oversight, and accountability. Finally, organizers of the Miss North Carolina USA competition have removed the reigning titleholder after alleging violations involving racism, homophobia, and transphobia.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers a frightening security incident involving President Trump, the continuing controversy surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony, the collapse of Chicago's government grocery store experiment, and another important ruling in South Carolina's U.S. Senate race. Federal authorities believe Secret Service agents may have disrupted another possible threat against President Donald Trump after arresting a man outside Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles. Investigators say the suspect had previously visited the property, photographed security personnel, and was later found with ammunition and firearms. We'll examine what investigators have revealed and discuss the latest developments in the case. Also today, the public debate over Dr. Anthony Fauci continues to intensify after his appearance before the Senate, where he invoked the Fifth Amendment multiple times. Former NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers sharply criticized Fauci's testimony, prompting a response from Fauci's legal team. We'll break down the latest exchange and the questions surrounding the hearing. Meanwhile, the idea of government-operated grocery stores is receiving renewed attention after Chicago abandoned plans to move forward with a taxpayer-funded supermarket initiative. Supporters argued the proposal would address food access concerns, while critics questioned whether government agencies should operate retail businesses. And here in South Carolina, the South Carolina Supreme Court declined to overturn a lower court ruling that allowed Senate candidate Danny Lee Ford II to appear on the Republican primary ballot. We'll explain what the ruling means and what could happen next as the race to succeed Senator Lindsey Graham continues. 🎯 In Today's Show Secret Service agents arrest a suspect outside Trump's California golf club.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers reports of a possible breakthrough in negotiations involving Iran, a major rally on Wall Street, the continuing controversy surrounding the Lincoln Memorial vandalism case, and another dramatic development in South Carolina's closely watched Senate race. According to reports, representatives from Iran and Oman are nearing an agreement that could fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping traffic. Under the proposal, both countries would reportedly collect fees intended to support environmental protection and maritime security operations. We'll examine what this agreement could mean for global energy markets and the broader geopolitical landscape. Investors responded enthusiastically as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested that negotiations were making significant progress. Stock markets climbed sharply, oil prices moved lower, and technology companies led the way after strong earnings reports from Palantir Technologies. Also today, reports indicate that President Donald Trump remains frustrated over the dismissal of charges against Olympic athlete David Hearn, who had been accused of damaging the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial.

In South Carolina, another twist has emerged in the race to fill the Senate seat vacated by the late Lindsey Graham.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers another dramatic turn in the conflict with Iran, a highly publicized political family dispute, a tragic shooting in Idaho, and an exclusive interview with South Carolina Congresswoman Sheri Biggs. According to reports, American negotiators say Iranian representatives signaled a willingness to reopen the Strait of Hormuz before President Donald Trump halted a planned military operation over the weekend.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson For more than 20 years, Pet Tender Angels Rescue and Rehabilitation in Landrum, South Carolina, has been giving a second chance to some of the most vulnerable dogs imaginable. These aren't ordinary rescue cases. Many of these animals have suffered devastating injuries, serious illnesses, disabilities, neglect, or abandonment. They require specialized care, including surgeries, wheelchairs, medications, therapy, and around-the-clock attention.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's program covers growing skepticism among Republicans regarding the conflict with Iran, an alarming new study involving prescription medications, a debate over political accountability, and a new legal battle involving South Carolina's Republican primary for the United States Senate. A new poll suggests that support for the conflict with Iran is beginning to soften among Republican voters, including many supporters of President Donald Trump. We'll examine the numbers, the reasons behind the changing attitudes, and what the findings could mean politically as the conflict continues. Also on today's program, researchers publishing in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reported that older adults taking five or more prescription medications may face a significantly increased risk of death compared with those taking fewer medications. We'll take a closer look at the findings and discuss why doctors often warn patients about the dangers of polypharmacy. We'll also tackle an important political question: If a politician votes against legislation but later highlights projects funded by that legislation during a reelection campaign, should voters view that as effective representation or political hypocrisy? We'll explore that debate and the arguments on both sides. Finally, South Carolina Senate candidate Danny Lee Ford II has filed suit against the South Carolina Republican Party after party officials ruled that he did not meet newly adopted qualification requirements for the ballot. We'll explain the lawsuit, the new rules, and what the case could mean for the race to succeed the late Senator Lindsey Graham. 🎯 In Today's Show New polling on the conflict with Iran Why Republican voters appear divided A new study on prescription medications and aging The debate over politicians taking credit for projects they opposed Danny Lee Ford's lawsuit against the South Carolina Republican Party The latest developments in South Carolina's Senate race 📩 Join our mailing list at JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line at 864-477-JOEY (5639) Follow Joey: Facebook: facebook.com/joeyhudsononline X: @joeyhudson Subscribe for daily political analysis, interviews, South Carolina news, and in-depth coverage of the stories shaping America. #Trump #Iran #SouthCarolina #DannyLeeFord #Politics #PrescriptionDrugs #HealthNews #BreakingNews #SCPolitics #Election2026 #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow

Former White House adviser Anthony Fauci appeared before a Senate committee seeking answers about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Supreme Court of the United States handed down two closely watched decisions that could have significant implications for border security and the Second Amendment. First, the Court upheld a policy allowing federal officials to turn away migrants seeking asylum after the daily processing cap has been reached, reinforcing executive authority over border operations.
