Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A revealing new admission from Jill Biden is reigniting questions about the now-infamous 2024 debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In a recent interview, Jill Biden says she feared her husband might have been “having a stroke” during the disastrous debate performance that stunned millions of Americans. Critics are now asking why the public is only hearing these concerns now — long after the election and months after widespread questions about President Biden’s health first surfaced. Meanwhile, the national debate over transgender athletes in girls’ sports continues to intensify. As the Supreme Court of the United States appears poised to weigh in on a major West Virginia case, the transgender athlete at the center of the controversy just won a girls state championship in track and field — adding more fuel to an already heated national conversation about fairness in women’s sports. And inside the evangelical world, a growing disagreement between Albert Mohler and Beth Moore is drawing attention to larger questions surrounding the role of women in church leadership and teaching. Plus, new census data shows South Carolina now leads the nation in population growth. We’ll show you which communities are booming — and why so many Americans are relocating to the Palmetto State. 🎯 In Today’s Show: Jill Biden’s shocking debate admission Questions surrounding Biden’s health during 2024 campaign Supreme Court and transgender athlete case update Debate over fairness in girls sports Albert Mohler vs Beth Moore controversy explained South Carolina leads nation in population growth 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-5639 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, cultural analysis, and South Carolina-focused coverage. #BreakingNews #JillBiden #JoeBiden #Trump #TransAthletes #SupremeCourt #BethMoore #AlbertMohler #SouthCarolina #Politics #Culture #JustTheTruth

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Another major political shakeup as Donald Trump continues to flex his influence inside the Republican Party. In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton scored a major primary victory over longtime Senator John Cornyn in one of the most closely watched Republican races in the country. We break down what the results could mean for the future of the GOP and why Trump-backed candidates continue to dominate key primaries. Meanwhile, redistricting battles are erupting across the country. A federal court blocked Alabama Republicans from implementing a congressional map designed to potentially give the GOP another seat in the U.S. House. And here in South Carolina, the state Senate rejected a White House-backed effort to redraw congressional districts during a special session called by Governor Henry McMaster. In a dramatic 26-18 vote — including opposition from 14 Republicans — the proposal failed, effectively ending the push for now. Add in record turnout during the first day of early voting, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most politically charged election seasons in years. 🎯 In Today’s Show: Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn in Texas Trump’s continued influence in GOP primaries Alabama congressional map blocked in court South Carolina Senate rejects redistricting effort Record early voting turnout explained What these developments mean for upcoming elections 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-5639 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, and South Carolina-focused coverage. #BreakingNews #Trump #KenPaxton #JohnCornyn #Politics #SouthCarolina #Redistricting #EarlyVoting #TexasPolitics #GOP #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Major developments overseas and here at home as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East. United States Central Command confirmed that U.S. forces carried out “self-defense strikes” in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats after threats against American forces. We break down what happened, why the strikes were ordered, and what this could mean for the region moving forward. Meanwhile, Americans are already feeling the economic effects. According to reports, families were expected to spend nearly $2 billion more on gasoline this Memorial Day weekend compared to last year. With summer travel season underway, concerns are growing about what continued tensions with Iran could mean for fuel prices nationwide. Back in South Carolina, the Senate has tentatively approved a White House-backed congressional map that could reshape the political landscape ahead of the midterm elections. A final vote could happen as early as today, even as early voting begins. And joining us today is David Atchley, candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s 4th District.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Another packed day of headlines — from rising tensions with Iran to taxpayer outrage over government spending. Donald Trump says Iran will not be allowed to keep highly enriched uranium, creating what could become a major sticking point in ongoing peace negotiations. Pakistani mediators are reportedly pushing Tehran toward a deal, but questions remain about whether both sides are willing to compromise. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Justice has charged 15 people in what prosecutors describe as a shocking $90 million fraud scheme tied to Minnesota nonprofit operations and government programs. The so-called “ringleader” connected to the Feeding Our Future scandal has now been sentenced. And if you think Washington has a spending problem — just wait until you hear what’s inside the 2026 Congressional Pig Book. Millions in taxpayer-funded earmarks are raising eyebrows nationwide, including spending on feral hog management programs, theater renovations, and broadband projects critics say are already heavily funded. We break down some of the most eye-popping examples. Back in South Carolina, the first day of Senate debate over congressional redistricting turned tense at times, with lawmakers facing growing pressure over deadlines as early voting approaches next week.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Big developments today both overseas and here at home. Oil prices dropped sharply after Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran are in their “final stages” and that a peace agreement could be close. We break down what this could mean for global energy markets, inflation, and gas prices for American families. Meanwhile, a report from the New York Post is raising fresh concerns about aging leadership in Washington, highlighting lawmakers accused of struggling with serious cognitive and health issues while remaining in office. And what started as a fight inside a Chipotle Mexican Grill in Washington, D.C., has now become a national debate over youth crime, parenting, and public safety. Jeanine Pirro says parents may soon face prosecution if their children participate in violent “teen takeover” incidents that have been spreading in parts of the nation’s capital.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Another big night for the MAGA movement as Donald Trump scored a series of victories in targeted Republican primaries — victories many see as a preview of what could happen nationwide heading into the midterm elections. But it wasn’t all wins for the president. A Republican senator criticized by Trump joined Senate Democrats in advancing a war powers resolution aimed at limiting presidential authority in the conflict involving Iran. We break down the growing divide inside the GOP over military action and foreign policy. Meanwhile, while much of the attention has focused on Republican challengers to Lindsey Graham, there are other names preparing for the November ballot. Kasie Whitener, the Libertarian Party nominee, joins us to discuss her campaign and why she believes voters are looking for another option. And here in South Carolina, lawmakers worked late into the night as the House pushed forward with President Trump-backed congressional redistricting maps that could potentially give Republicans control of all seven congressional districts in the state. 🎯 In Today’s Show: Trump-backed candidates score major primary wins Senate GOP divide over Iran war powers Kasie Whitener interview and Senate race discussion South Carolina redistricting battle intensifies Trump-backed congressional maps explained 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-5639 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, and South Carolina-focused coverage. #BreakingNews #Trump #MAGA #Politics #Iran #LindseyGraham #KasieWhitener #SouthCarolina #Redistricting #Midterms #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A major shift in the Middle East — and a tragic attack here at home. Donald Trump says he is holding off on planned military action against Iran after requests from Middle Eastern leaders, signaling that a possible peace agreement could be close. We break down what changed, what’s reportedly being negotiated, and what it could mean for the region moving forward. Meanwhile, authorities in San Diego have identified the two suspects in a deadly shooting outside a mosque that left three people dead. The alleged gunmen — ages 17 and 18 — reportedly left suicide notes for their parents before carrying out the attack. We’ll bring you the latest details from investigators and reaction from the community. Back in Washington, Senate Republicans confirmed nearly 50 of President Trump’s nominees tied to energy and land management after using revised Senate procedures allowing multiple confirmations in a single sitting.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson  Another major day of political and legal headlines — both overseas and here in South Carolina. Lindsey Graham is calling on Donald Trump to renew U.S. military strikes on Iran, warning that the stalled ceasefire and closure of the Strait of Hormuz are strengthening Tehran while hurting Americans economically through rising energy prices. Meanwhile, the Republican primary season is heating up. After Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy lost his bid for reelection following criticism from President Trump, another Republican is now under fire — Congressman Thomas Massie is finding himself in Trump’s political crosshairs. We also have an update on a story involving religious freedom in the United Kingdom. A pastor arrested while street preaching in London says he is now facing hate speech-related charges connected to his public comments about Christianity and Islam, raising fresh questions about free speech protections abroad. And back in South Carolina, the fallout continues after the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned the murder conviction of Alex Murdaugh. Much of the focus is now turning toward former Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill — better known as Becky Hill. Who is she, what role did she allegedly play, and where is she now?

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Another major breaking news day — from heated political rhetoric to a stunning legal development in South Carolina. Former MSNBC host Joy Reid and commentator Wajahat Ali are facing backlash after launching into a fiery rant targeting “weak White conservative men” during a recent episode of “The Joy Reid Show.” The comments included attacks on Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and conservative voters — sparking strong reactions online and across political circles. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance joked that President Trump is essentially holding “Apprentice-style auditions” for the next Republican nominee after comments suggesting a possible 2028 “dream team” involving Vance and Marco Rubio. And here in South Carolina, the South Carolina Supreme Court delivered a bombshell ruling — ordering a new trial for Alex Murdaugh in the murders of his wife and son.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A packed show today — from the Middle East to restaurant tipping and major political developments in South Carolina. Pete Hegseth told lawmakers during Capitol Hill testimony that the United States now has “control” of the Strait of Hormuz as tensions involving Iran continue. Hegseth also pushed back on reports suggesting America is running low on munitions amid the ongoing conflict, while defending the Pentagon’s record-breaking $1.5 trillion budget request. Meanwhile, a debate is heating up ahead of the World Cup. Restaurant leaders in Missouri are proposing automatic gratuities for customers — especially international visitors unfamiliar with American tipping culture. Critics say it punishes customers regardless of service quality, while supporters argue it protects workers’ income. Back here in South Carolina, the state Senate rejected calls to redraw congressional districts ahead of the primaries, despite pressure tied to the recent Supreme Court of the United States ruling on race and redistricting. And another political battle may be heading to federal court — the South Carolina Republican Party says it plans to challenge the state’s open primary system, arguing political parties should have greater control over who selects their nominees. 🎯 In Today’s Show: Pete Hegseth testifies on Iran conflict and Pentagon budget Strait of Hormuz update Debate over automatic restaurant tipping SC Senate rejects congressional redistricting effort Open primary lawsuit headed to federal court 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-5639 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, and South Carolina-focused coverage. #BreakingNews #PeteHegseth #Iran #Hormuz #Politics #SouthCarolina #Redistricting #OpenPrimaries #WorldCup #RestaurantNews #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A growing push in Washington could bring relief at the gas pump — but not everyone in Congress is on board. Support is building on Capitol Hill for a federal gasoline tax holiday after Donald Trump publicly endorsed the idea earlier this week.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A possible breakthrough in the Middle East — but tensions remain dangerously high. Donald Trump says a peace deal with Iran could be just days away as Tehran reviews the latest U.S. proposal. But even as negotiations continue, there were tense moments in the Strait of Hormuz after American destroyers were reportedly targeted. President Trump later described recent U.S. strikes as a “love tap” while warning the situation remains fluid.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A California Democrat is making headlines after comments that have sparked backlash from both sides of the political aisle.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A major update from the Middle East — and new concerns impacting travelers here at home. Donald Trump announced a temporary pause to “Project Freedom,” the U.S.-led mission designed to secure ship movement through the Strait of Hormuz. The president says there has been significant progress — but what does this mean for tensions involving Iran and global shipping routes? We break down the latest developments. Meanwhile, travelers are sounding off as Delta Air Lines cuts snack and beverage service on hundreds of daily flights, sparking frustration among customers already dealing with rising costs and travel headaches.

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. 🎯 In Today’s Show: Judge apologizes to Trump suspect — what happened?

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. 🎯 In Today’s Show: Trump’s “Project Freedom” and Strait of Hormuz strategy Southwest Airlines robot delay — what happened?

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A fascinating mix of national security, space exploration, and policy debates shaping the future. New details are emerging about a daring rescue mission involving U.S. intelligence. A former CIA station chief says the Central Intelligence Agency used Iranian communication channels to mislead adversaries — a strategy that helped pull off a complex and high-risk operation. Meanwhile, NASA’s Artemis II mission is now more than two-thirds of the way to the moon on its historic flyby. The astronauts aboard are set to become some of the farthest-traveling humans from Earth, offering a rare look at the moon’s far side.

Reports indicate President Donald Trump has removed Attorney General Pam Bondi from her position, marking a major shake-up inside the Department of Justice.

We’ll break down what this means, why it happened, and what comes next. Meanwhile, in South Carolina, Senator Lindsey Graham made a stop in Greenville and is turning up the heat on his political rivals — calling on them to fire campaign staffers.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A packed show today — from a historic moment at the Supreme Court, to global tensions with Iran, to major political developments right here in South Carolina. President Donald Trump addressed the nation, declaring that Iran is “no longer a threat” following recent developments in the Middle East.

Back here in South Carolina, four of six Republican gubernatorial candidates took the stage in Newberry for the first televised debate sponsored by the state GOP. We’ll break down the key moments and what it means for the race ahead.
