Joey Hudson / Just The Truth

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson In today’s episode, we cover two powerful conversations shaping lives — and shaping South Carolina’s future. First, I’m joined by Dave Crooks, Executive Director of Evans Training Center, a Christ-centered, long-term residential recovery ministry right here in the Upstate. Evans Training Center operates a 40-week regeneration program for men battling addiction, built around biblical discipleship, accountability, community, and vocational training — all rooted in the hope and freedom found in Jesus Christ. Dave shares his personal journey through addiction and redemption, and how that lived experience shapes his leadership today. We talk about: Why Evans focuses on regeneration, not just recovery What a typical day looks like for men in the program How faith plays a central role in lasting transformation Vocational training through Evans Industries and real-world job skills How families are restored and men step into purpose after graduation How churches, businesses, and the community can get involved Then, we shift gears to South Carolina politics with Mike Burns, a Republican lawmaker from Tigerville and sponsor of legislation that would close South Carolina’s party primaries. We break down: Why South Carolina’s open primary system is under scrutiny The difference between H.3310 and H.3643 Whether independents are being shut out — or party integrity is being protected Why Republicans should choose Republican nominees What success looks like 5–10 years down the road This episode is about restoration and responsibility — restoring lives through faith and discipleship, and restoring integrity to the political process. Whether you’re concerned about addiction recovery, faith-based solutions, election integrity, or the future of South Carolina — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. 👉 Subscribe for more real conversations 👉 Join the mailing list at joeyhudson.com 📞 Call or text the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had a fiery clash with a journalist during Thursday's press briefing, labeling him a "left-wing activist" over an exchange the two of them had over the killing of Renee Good. …I promise…you want to hear this!!! A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that a lower court judge lacked authority in ordering the release of anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil, siding with the Trump administration in a closely watched immigration case. A state Senate panel advanced a proposal expanding a law originally passed to keep Confederate monuments in place.The bill introduced by Sen. Danny Verdin, R-Laurens, and co-sponsored by 29 other Republicans would extend the protections under a portion of state law, commonly called the Heritage Act, to all memorials on public property in South Carolina. Lt Governor Pamela Evette joins us to respond to the continued attacks on ICE and the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce our immigration laws….

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Senate Republicans just shut down a bipartisan effort to curb President Trump’s war powers authority — after key GOP senators reversed course and leadership used a rare Senate procedure to effectively nullify the resolution. One week the vote had momentum… the next week it’s buried. That’s Washington. Plus, a viral moment from a Senate abortion hearing: Sen. Josh Hawley asked a simple question — “Can men get pregnant?” — and the witness repeatedly avoided giving a direct answer. If policymakers can’t acknowledge basic biology, what does that mean for women’s health, medical truth, and public trust? And in Minnesota, another clip is exploding online: federal law enforcement agents were heckled, cursed at, and pressured to leave a Mexican restaurant in St. Paul. Protest is one thing — public intimidation is another. 📩 Join the mailing list: joeyhudson.com 📺 Subscribe for daily updates 📞 Firmin Ford Text Line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) — text anytime / leave a voice message

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Minnesota politics is looking like pure whiplash. Gov. Tim Walz is getting hammered after praising the state’s top fraud prosecutor on the way out… just a week after he suggested that same prosecutor should be fired. Meanwhile, anti-ICE agitators are back on video blocking roads with vehicles—even after last week’s deadly incident involving Renee Nicole Good. Plus: President Trump is openly warning Tehran as Iran’s regime crackdown turns more brutal, and the U.S. Supreme Court hears a major case on transgender athletes in girls’ sports—and even with a conservative court, it’s not a guaranteed win for women’s sports. 📩 Join the mailing list: joeyhudson.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube for daily updates 📞 Firmin Ford Text Line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) — Text anytime and leave a voice message for a future show. 00:00 – Today’s rundown 01:15 – Walz flip-flop: prosecutor “should be fired” → “huge loss” 09:40 – One week later: another road-block standoff caught on video 18:30 – Trump warns Iran: what comes next? 26:10 – SCOTUS trans sports case: fairness vs. equal protection 35:00 – Final thoughts + your calls/texts #TimWalz #Minnesota #ICE #Iran #SCOTUS #TitleIX #WomensSports #Politics

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson President Trump is sounding the alarm as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule — possibly as early as this week — on whether his emergency tariff authority is constitutional. Trump warns that if the Court rules against the administration, the U.S. could be forced to repay hundreds of billions of dollars, triggering economic chaos and unraveling key trade leverage. In today’s show, we break down what’s at stake in the looming Supreme Court decision, how tariff revenue factors into Trump’s economic strategy, and why even some Republicans are raising concerns about inflation and refunds if the tariffs are struck down. We also cover a growing legal and political feud after Senator Mark Kelly sues the Department of Defense and War Secretary Pete Hegseth over disciplinary action tied to Kelly’s public call for service members to refuse “illegal orders.” Meanwhile, chaos continues in Minneapolis. Conservative journalist Nick Sortor says his vehicle was surrounded by anti-ICE protesters, windows smashed, and his escape blocked as tensions boil over in the city following recent immigration enforcement actions. Plus — South Carolina lawmakers return to Columbia this week. State Rep. John McCravy joins us with a preview of legislative priorities, infrastructure reform, budget pressures, growth management, and what Republicans are focusing on heading into an election-year session.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson New video released by the Department of Homeland Security is changing the conversation surrounding the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis — and raising serious questions about what led up to the confrontation. In today’s show, we break down newly released DHS footage showing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents being stalked, blocked, and disrupted for several minutes before the deadly encounter involving Renee Nicole Good. The video contradicts early media narratives and sheds new light on the escalating tensions surrounding federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota. We also examine how the Trump administration is pushing back against legacy media coverage, announcing the arrest of hundreds of violent criminal illegal aliens in what officials call the largest immigration enforcement operation ever conducted in Minneapolis. ICE confirms those arrested include individuals convicted of murder, rape, sodomy, and crimes against children. Plus — we turn overseas to Iran, where human rights organizations warn more than 500 people have been slaughtered by the regime amid a nationwide anti-government uprising. Former military leaders are calling the crackdown a state-sponsored massacre as arrests and executions accelerate. This episode looks at: • New DHS video evidence from Minneapolis • ICE enforcement escalation and violent criminal arrests • Media credibility and narrative shaping • Federal vs. local authority on immigration • Iran’s brutal crackdown on protesters 👉 Watch, share, and decide for yourself. 📩 Join the mailing list: joeyhudson.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube for daily commentary 📱 Text the show on the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has ignited protests, political outrage, and dangerous rhetoric from Democratic leaders — and the facts are getting buried beneath emotion. In today’s show, we break down what actually happened when an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during an immigration enforcement operation — including newly surfaced details about the agent, his prior near-death encounter on the job, and why DHS says the shooting was self-defense. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says it’s now a “patriotic duty” to protest the Trump administration. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey tells ICE to “get the f— out” of his city. And progressive leaders across the country rush to label the incident “murder” before investigations are complete. We also look at: How inflammatory political rhetoric is escalating street-level violence Why ICE agents say cars are increasingly being used as weapons The growing divide between federal law enforcement and sanctuary city leadership The removal of a Minnesota Hampton Inn from federal lodging programs after refusing ICE agents New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial housing advisor and her past statements on homeownership and private property This episode asks the hard questions: Who’s responsible when leadership fuels chaos? Do federal laws still apply everywhere — or only where politicians allow them? And how much danger are law enforcement officers being forced to absorb in today’s political climate? 📩 Join our mailing list: https://joeyhudson.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube for daily conservative commentary 📱 Text the show on the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) 🎙 Leave a voice message to be aired on a future podcast

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has ignited protests, political outrage, and a national debate over immigration enforcement, leadership, and the rule of law. A woman was fatally shot after allegedly attempting to ram an ICE agent during a federal operation. According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the agent feared for his life and fired in self-defense. The agent was treated at a local hospital and released. But instead of urging calm, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called protests against the Trump administration a “patriotic duty,” even as demonstrations turned violent — including courthouse vandalism and the burning of American flags. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey escalated tensions further, telling federal immigration authorities to “get the hell out” of his city, dismissing the federal government’s explanation before investigations were complete. Meanwhile in New York City, newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani weighed in, calling the shooting “murder,” while controversy continues to swirl around his housing advisor Cea Weaver, whose past statements attacking homeownership and private property have resurfaced — alongside revelations about her family’s own wealth. This episode breaks down: • What actually happened in Minneapolis • Why political rhetoric is inflaming violence • How city leaders are openly defying federal law enforcement • The growing ideological divide shaping America’s major cities 🎙 Calm analysis.

In New York City, newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani is already facing controversy after appointing a longtime housing activist to lead the city’s Office to Protect Tenants.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers a rapid-fire lineup of breaking national and international developments with major political consequences. We begin with the fallout from President Trump’s stunning operation in Venezuela, as the former socialist strongman is now in U.S. custody and the interim regime back home declares a state of emergency — ordering arrests of anyone accused of supporting the U.S. action. Is this the beginning of the end for Venezuela’s failed socialist experiment? Back here at home, Minnesota Democrats are in full damage-control mode as a massive fraud scandal continues to widen. With the governor stepping aside, party insiders are urging a top U.S. senator to run for governor — all while federal investigators uncover billions in alleged welfare, childcare, and Medicaid fraud. Then, a story that has ignited national outrage: a Hilton-branded hotel in Minnesota allegedly canceled reservations for federal immigration agents — not because of availability, but because of who they work for. Is corporate America now deciding which laws get enforced? Plus: • A U.S. senator facing potential military demotion over a controversial video • New questions about federal entitlement fraud and weak oversight • The growing political consequences of ideology colliding with law enforcement This is a fast-moving, accountability-focused breakdown of the stories the mainstream media is either missing — or avoiding. 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube for daily commentary 📱 Text the show on the Firmin Ford Text Line: 864-477-JOEY (5639)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago this week, and the conversation quickly turned to peace — not war. Zelensky called the talks “a work in progress,” while Trump hinted a deal could be reached sooner than many think. Both leaders expressed the urgent need to end the Russia-Ukraine war, restore stability, and stop the bleeding overseas.

Plus, disturbing new developments out of Los Angeles: Nick Reiner, the son of famed filmmaker Rob Reiner, appeared in court charged with the brutal murder of his parents. Prosecutors are weighing special-circumstance charges that could bring life without parole — or worse — as the case moves forward.

The FBI says the threats were credible and acted swiftly amid a nationwide surge in antisemitic incidents.

The White House pushes back on what it calls another coordinated media hit piece. pasted We also break down a bombshell revelation about the FBI’s 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid, with newly released internal records showing agents did not believe probable cause existed — yet the Biden DOJ approved the search anyway. This raises serious questions about politicization inside federal law enforcement. pasted Finally, South Carolina Senator Josh Kimbrell joins the program to discuss legislative priorities ahead of January’s session — including the controversial chemtrails bill that would ban the airborne release of chemicals over South Carolina airspace. Sen. Kimbrell explains why he believes the proposal is unnecessary and voted against advancing it. pasted 📩 Join the mailing list: https://joeyhudson.com 📺 Subscribe on YouTube for daily news & commentary 📱 Text the show on the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson The search continues for the Brown University shooter after police confirmed a person of interest was briefly taken into custody — and then released. Authorities are now asking for the public’s help after releasing new surveillance photos of the suspect. What do we know, and why are there still so many unanswered questions? President Donald Trump escalates the fight against drug cartels, announcing he is officially classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction — a move that could dramatically expand U.S. military and law-enforcement authority against traffickers flooding America with deadly drugs. A shocking Hollywood crime story: Rob Reiner’s son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with murder and is being held without bail in the brutal killing of Princess Bride director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. We break down what’s known and what investigators are saying. And closer to home — the controversy surrounding Oconee County’s Newry Development Project continues to grow. The proposal to add more than 5,000 housing units in a former mill village has already led to major fallout, including the dismissal of the county administrator and the sudden resignation of Clemson University President Jim Clements — a move some believe is tied to the project. To answer the growing list of questions, Oconee County Council Chairman Matthew Durham joins us for an in-depth conversation on the Newry Project, transparency, growth, and what happens next. 👉 Watch, listen, and decide for yourself. 🔔 Subscribe for daily news and commentary 📩 Join the mailing list at JoeyHudson.com 💬 Text the show anytime on the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson It was a violent and unsettling weekend — and we’re breaking down the stories the national media is struggling to explain. A person of interest is in custody after a deadly shooting during final exams at Brown University, leaving two students dead and nine others wounded. Key questions remain unanswered as investigators work to determine motive and how the suspect gained access. Meanwhile, across the globe, a terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration near Bondi Beach in Australia left at least 15 people dead and more than 40 injured. The victims include a 10-year-old girl, a beloved rabbi, and an elderly Holocaust survivor. One heroic shopkeeper is being credited with tackling and disarming one of the attackers — potentially saving countless lives. Back here at home, former President Joe Biden is reportedly struggling to raise money for his presidential library, according to a new report from The New York Times. After decades in public office, donors appear hesitant — raising questions about Biden’s post-presidency influence and legacy. And in South Carolina, a state Senate subcommittee advanced legislation to ban the airborne release of chemicals into the atmosphere, reigniting debate over so-called “chemtrails” and whether government weather modification programs exist. The bill could soon head to the full Senate for debate. We cover it all — the facts, the context, and what it means — without the spin. 👉 Subscribe to the channel for daily conservative news, analysis, and commentary 👉 Join the conversation on the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) 👉 Sign up for the mailing list at JoeyHudson.com #BreakingNews #BrownUniversity #TerrorAttack #BondiBeach #Hanukkah #AntiSemitism #JoeBiden #PresidentialLibrary #SouthCarolinaPolitics #Chemtrails #ConservativeNews #JustTheTruth #JoeyHudson #NoSpinNews

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today on the show, we break down a major week in Washington and across the country. The House passed the massive $901 billion National Defense Authorization Act — but 112 lawmakers voted “no,” including 18 Republicans, and we’ve got the full breakdown of who sided against the bill and why. We also cover Erika Kirk’s emotional response to conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of her husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Plus — President Trump’s self-deportation effort continues to surge, with more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants leaving the U.S. this year, many using Trump’s complimentary exit flights and $1,000 departure bonus. Meanwhile, Minnesota is under renewed scrutiny as a Somali-linked nonprofit allegedly siphoned off hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars, and a new whistleblower in Maine now claims fraud cost that state millions as well. We also take a closer look at the House’s immigration battles, Illinois releasing violent criminal illegals despite ICE detainers, and why a Vermont school district is under fire for raising a Somali flag. All that — plus the latest on Clemson University President Jim Clements’ sudden resignation — in today’s show.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Congress has officially passed the $901 billion National Defense Authorization Act, sending the Pentagon’s yearly budget — and all of its major policy fights — to the Senate. The vote breakdown is stunning: 312–112, with 18 Republicans and 94 Democrats voting against it. We’ll walk you through exactly what's in the bill and why both parties are frustrated. Meanwhile, Erika Kirk — widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — is calling out conspiracy theorists spreading false claims about her husband’s assassination. Her powerful statement is breaking through the noise, and we have the details. At the border, President Trump’s self-deportation incentives appear to be working. New numbers show more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants have left the U.S. in the past year — many using Trump’s complimentary airfare + $1,000 exit bonus. We’ll explain the surge and how DHS says it’s reshaping enforcement. And in the Midwest, fraud scandals involving Somali-linked nonprofits continue to widen. Minnesota is now under renewed scrutiny for allegedly easing oversight after activists labeled investigations “racist,” allowing hundreds of millions to vanish.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson President Trump’s State Department has revoked a record-breaking 85,000 visas, citing DUIs, assaults, theft, and national-security concerns — nearly half tied to criminal activity. We break down the numbers, the policy shift, and what it means for America’s borders under the renewed enforcement push. Meanwhile in Vermont, a school district ignited a firestorm by raising a Somali flag, just as federal investigators continue uncovering massive fraud networks tied to Minnesota’s Somali community. The move drew immediate condemnation from state GOP leadership — and we’ve got the details. In New York, Attorney General Letitia James is being sued after allegedly threatening to remove school board members who even allow public discussion about transgender students in girls’ sports and locker rooms. This lawsuit could reshape the entire debate over parental rights and public input in education. And in the Upstate — a bombshell: Clemson University President Jim Clements announced he will retire on December 31 after 12 years. No explanation was given, raising questions about whether the controversial Oconee County development dispute played any role in the timing of his departure. 👉 Visa revocations 👉 Vermont flag controversy 👉 Letitia James in legal trouble 👉 Clemson’s sudden leadership change All the top stories — with clear, conservative, no-spin analysis. 📩 Join our mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 👍 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for daily truth-driven commentary 💬 Text the Firmin Ford Text Line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) #Immigration #VisaRevocation #SomaliFlag #Vermont #LetitiaJames #SchoolBoards #TransPolicy #ClemsonUniversity #JimClements #BorderSecurity #NationalSecurity #JoeyHudson #ConservativeNews

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Democrat lawmakers are ramping up their attacks on President Trump’s military strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean — even tossing around “war crimes” language over a follow-up strike that killed surviving suspected traffickers. Are these cartel boats “innocent fishermen” or narco-terrorists pumping fentanyl into American communities? We’ll also break down Rep. Ilhan Omar’s attempt to reframe Minnesota’s billion-dollar “Feeding Our Future” scandal, where she insists Somalis are “victims” of fraud — even as whistleblowers say Democrat leadership ignored warning signs for years. And in New York City, incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani publishes a “know your rights” video that looks a whole lot like a how-to guide on evading ICE.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Karoline Leavitt just lit up The New York Times from the White House podium — and we’ve got the full breakdown. In this episode of Just the Truth with Joey Hudson, we dig into Leavitt’s fiery takedown of a NYT “Trump health” hit piece and the media’s double standard after four years of running cover for Joe Biden’s obvious decline. Then we turn to Minnesota, where Governor Tim Walz is facing serious heat. The House Oversight Committee and the U.S. Treasury Department have launched investigations into what may be the largest COVID-era fraud scheme in America — over $1 billion in taxpayer funds meant to feed kids allegedly stolen and laundered into luxury homes, overseas properties, and even terrorist-linked networks. We’ll also cover: 🌲 Portland’s “Tree” Lighting – The city refuses to say “Christmas,” promotes a generic “tree lighting,” and hands the mic to activists waving Palestinian flags and chanting politics instead of carols. ✈️ TSA’s New REAL ID Crackdown – Starting in 2026, show up without Real ID or a passport and you could be hit with a $45 nonrefundable fee just to try to verify who you are — with no guarantee you’ll even fly.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson An Afghan refugee brought to the U.S. under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome is now accused of murdering a 20-year-old National Guard soldier and critically injuring another just blocks from the White House. Tonight on Just the Truth with Joey Hudson, we break down the leaked emails, the ignored red flags, and the total failure of America’s refugee and asylum system that allowed Rahmanullah Lakanwal to stay in this country… and then allegedly carry out an ambush-style attack on Thanksgiving Eve. Kristi Noem, President Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, now says Lakanwal was radicalized here in the United States, not in Afghanistan. We’ll walk through what that means, why Trump has “permanently paused” migration from Third World countries, and what a full review of 1.5 million asylum cases could look like. We also dig into: The refugee agency that was warned for over a year that Lakanwal was spiraling into mental illness and instability How he still won asylum in April despite multiple red flags The political fight over ACA subsidies and Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s push for another Obamacare extension A Michigan man’s $1 million scratch-off win and the debate over what a college degree is really worth in 2025 Plus, Joey takes your texts and calls on border security, refugee vetting, and what real “compassion with accountability” should look like in America. 👉 Subscribe for more no-spin conservative commentary and share this video with a friend who’s worried about where our immigration and national security policies are headed. 📲 Text the show on the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) 🌐 Join the email list: joeyhudson.com #JustTheTruth #JoeyHudson #NationalGuard #AfghanRefugee #BorderSecurity #ImmigrationCrisis #KristiNoem #OperationAlliesWelcome #AsylumReform #TrumpAdministration #SchoolChoice #ParentalRights #ConservativeTalk #NoSpinNews

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A federal judge just threw out the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James — and the decision has a South Carolina twist. Federal Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a longtime South Carolina jurist and Clinton appointee, ruled that the special prosecutor who brought the cases — Lindsey Halligan, a Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney — was not legally installed in the role. The result? The indictments are dismissed, not because Comey and James were cleared of wrongdoing, but because of a procedural flaw in Halligan’s appointment. The ruling is a major setback for President Trump’s Justice Department, though the White House says it will appeal. Joey Hudson breaks down: ✅ What this ruling really means for Trump’s DOJ ✅ The legal loophole that killed the indictments ✅ Why this case runs straight through South Carolina ✅ Judge Currie’s background — from Florence to the federal bench ✅ And whether this opens the door for a re-filed case 📺 Subscribe for no-spin conservative commentary on the biggest legal and political stories in America. 🌐 JoeyHudson.com 📞 Text/Call: 864-477-JOEY (5639) — the Firmin Ford text line 📱 Twitter/X | 👍 Facebook #Comey #LetitiaJames #TrumpDOJ #SouthCarolina #CameronCurrie #LegalNews #JustTheTruth #JoeyHudson #FoxNews #ConservativeTalk

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today on Just the Truth with Joey Hudson we’re tackling two major issues affecting families right here in South Carolina — our growing doctor shortage and a heartbreaking victory for justice in Greenwood. First up, Dr. Oran Smith, Senior Fellow at the Palmetto Promise Institute, joins us to break down a crisis impacting every American: a nationwide shortage of physicians that’s only getting worse. On average, Americans wait 20 days to see a doctor — and in rural and growing states like South Carolina, that delay can turn dangerous. Dr. Smith explains how Senate Bill 376 could help fix the shortage by allowing qualified international physicians to practice in South Carolina through a streamlined licensing process. With a projected deficit of 86,000 doctors by 2036, the Palmetto Promise plan offers a real-world solution that puts patients first. Then — a powerful update to a case we’ve been following for more than a year. South Carolina Representative John McCravy joins us with the latest on Tiffany Jenae Carroll, the Greenwood mother of five who spent years behind bars after killing her abusive boyfriend during a violent domestic incident. After multiple denied parole hearings — including one where a required 2/3 vote fell short because a board member didn’t show up — Ms. Carroll has finally been granted parole. Rep.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Washington is heating up again as Democratic leaders accuse President Trump of “encouraging political violence” after he called out six Democrat senators for what he described as seditious behavior. But what they’re not telling you is what sparked this firestorm in the first place — a viral video of those same lawmakers urging military and intelligence officials to defy the Commander-in-Chief. We break down the full story, the spin, and what it means heading into 2026. PLUS — Cracker Barrel is back in the news after a year filled with controversy. Following the company’s annual shareholder meeting, a board member with a heavy DEI background abruptly resigned. What does this mean for the iconic Southern brand? Is Cracker Barrel finally listening to its customer base? We’re also diving into President Trump’s proposed $2,000 Tariff Dividend — real money in Americans’ pockets — but not everyone in Congress is on board. Some Republicans want the money to go toward paying down the exploding national debt instead of direct checks. Is this a smart economic move, or the next big debate inside the GOP? And joining us on this Friday edition is South Carolina Lt. Governor Pamela Evette, as we head into Thanksgiving week.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A major new development in the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk — and the details are disturbing. Charlie’s security director is speaking out for the first time, revealing shocking failures by Utah Valley University and law enforcement that may have left critical vulnerabilities wide open. We break it all down. PLUS — ABC’s Jonathan Karl drops a truth grenade on “The Breakfast Club,” admitting Joe Biden’s decision to run again in 2024 was never seriously debated… and may have erased his entire presidency. Even Democrats are calling it “reckless.” And in Washington, the Epstein drama gets even uglier. House Republicans failed to censure Stacey Plaskett over her documented communications with Jeffrey Epstein — and GOP members say it happened because leadership struck a backroom deal to protect one of their own. We expose the swamp politics behind the vote. Finally, South Carolina State Rep. John McCravy joins us with an update on a Greenwood domestic-violence case we’ve been following for more than a year — and the unexpected breakthrough that has reunited a mother with her children.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Well folks… it was a whirlwind of a day in Washington. Both houses of Congress — yes, both — agreed to send the Epstein Files Disclosure Act straight to President Trump’s desk. That means every unclassified page, every memo, every interview transcript connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is now headed for the public vault. After years of rumors, leaks, and political games — the sunlight is coming. And we’ve got the very latest for you. Meanwhile at the White House… things got a little heated. President Trump lit into ABC’s Mary Bruce during a press spray — accusing her of peddling fake news on Saudi Arabia and Epstein. He even suggested the FCC ought to take a hard look at ABC’s broadcast license. I’ve got the clip… and you’re going to want to hear it. And back home in the Palmetto State… Congresswoman Nancy Mace is once again in national headlines — and once again, not for the right reasons. A bombshell Facebook post from Occupy Democrats claims to have obtained new court filings from her ex-fiancé… and the accusations read like a reality-TV script gone nuclear. Hacking, blackmail, “Jane Doe” conspiracies — and a judge now ordering names released. A lot to unpack today… so let’s get to it. — ✅ BLOCK 1 — FULL 11-MINUTE SEGMENT Your tone: neutral delivery with conservative framing, Fox-style cadence The Epstein political earthquake rolled right through Washington again yesterday — but this time, something remarkable happened. Senate Republicans didn’t block the vote. They didn’t stall it. They didn’t amend it. In fact… they opened the runway for the Epstein disclosure bill to head straight to President Trump’s desk. And for a bill that insiders were calling “dead on arrival” just a week ago, this is a stunning turnaround. Here’s why: When the House passes something 427 to 1… When even the most progressive members sign on… And when President Trump himself says, quote, “We have nothing to hide — release it”… Well, suddenly every political calculation in Washington changes. ✔ WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SENATE Yesterday, Chuck Schumer marched onto the Senate floor demanding immediate passage — no amendments, no delays, no procedural traps. He warned Republicans not to “bury it in committee.” But here’s the twist: Republicans didn’t bury it. They didn’t fight it. They didn’t even insist on a roll-call vote. It passed by unanimous consent — a rare moment of agreement that sent shockwaves through the Capitol. The minute the House clerks finish the paperwork, this bill goes straight to the Resolute Desk for President Trump’s signature. ✔ WHAT THE BILL ACTUALLY REQUIRES This bipartisan resolution — championed by Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna — forces the DOJ to: Release all unclassified Epstein & Maxwell documents Make them public in full Make them searchable and downloadable Release them within 30 days of the President signing it No loopholes. No slow-walk. No bureaucratic tricks. And here’s the big political point: Most politicians hate transparency — especially transparency that involves Epstein. But Trump has been the exact opposite. He’s saying: turn the lights on. And just as that dust was settling… things got spicy in the Oval Office. ✔ TRUMP VS. MARY BRUCE — THE CLIP During a press spray with the Saudi Crown Prince, ABC’s Mary Bruce pressed Trump on Epstein and Saudi Arabia. Trump didn’t take kindly to it. He accused her of pushing fake news and even suggested the FCC look at pulling ABC’s broadcast license. CUT #_____ You can hear the room tense up… and the Crown Prince sitting there stone-faced. Say what you will — Trump never backs away from a media confrontation. ✔ WHY SENATE REPUBLICANS LET THE BILL MOVE Behind the scenes, GOP leaders ran what’s known as the “hotline process” — basically checking whether any Republican objected to passing it immediately. Normally, someone would. But not this time. Because here’s the truth: Republicans would’ve looked guilty if they blocked Epstein transparency after the House voted 427–1. Senate Majority Leader John Thune put it plainly: “When a bill passes the House 427–1 and the President says he’ll sign it… changing it isn’t feasible.” Translation: The GOP wasn’t falling for a trap — and they turned the tables instead. They’ll work separately to protect victims' privacy. But politically? They weren’t going to hand Democrats a talking point. ✔ THE BACKFIRE — DEMOCRATS ARE NERVOUS Make no mistake — Democrats expected this bill to corner Donald Trump. Instead? Trump embraced it. Republicans unified. And now Democrats may be realizing they just opened the door to something they can’t control. Because when these documents hit the public eye… we may see names, connections, travel logs, phone records, and correspondence involving people across: Hollywood Wall Street Academia Politics Royal families Foreign governments And not all of those names belong to Republicans. In fact… most don’t. ✔ FINAL TAKE Here’s where we
