Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today's show covers a controversial pardon in Minnesota, a dramatic immigration enforcement update, a dangerous stunt atop one of America's most famous landmarks, and South Carolina's budget impasse.

Minnesota officials, including Governor Tim Walz, are facing intense criticism after granting a pardon to an undocumented immigrant who had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl and had been slated for deportation. We break down the timeline, the pardon process, and the reaction from across the political spectrum.

Meanwhile, newly released body camera footage shows the dramatic arrest of two social media influencers who climbed the antenna of the Empire State Building before becoming engaged high above New York City. We have the latest on the criminal charges and the viral video that has everyone talking.

Also today, immigration enforcement operations continue to expand. Federal authorities say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested approximately 10,000 people over a five-day period as enforcement efforts intensified following recent legal developments involving birthright citizenship. We examine what officials are reporting and what it means moving forward.

And back in South Carolina, lawmakers failed to approve a state budget before the July 1 deadline. We explain what happens now, how state government continues operating under a continuing resolution, and the major issues lawmakers still must resolve before a final spending plan is adopted.

It was another landmark day at the Supreme Court of the United States, with decisions that will have lasting effects on immigration, education, and state authority.

A senior U.S. official says Saturday's American strikes against Iran were significantly larger than previous operations, targeting military assets that officials say had been regrouped. We break down the latest military developments and what they could mean for regional stability.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Rules on Asylum and Second Amendment (Ep 770) Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today's show covers two major U.S. Supreme Court rulings, the latest developments in Iran negotiations, and South Carolina's growing insurance crisis.

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.

In another unanimous decision, the Court struck down Hawaii's so-called "vampire rule," concluding the state cannot require lawful gun owners to obtain permission before carrying firearms onto private property that is open to the public. We explain what both rulings mean and why they are likely to have nationwide impact.

Meanwhile, tensions continue surrounding negotiations with Iran. Iran's parliament speaker publicly rejected comments by Donald Trump suggesting that unfrozen Iranian assets could be used to purchase American agricultural products. We have the latest developments from the ongoing diplomatic talks.

And back home in South Carolina, insurance costs continue to climb for both businesses and homeowners. Rising premiums are forcing some businesses to close while leaving many families struggling to afford coverage. We examine what's driving the increases, what lawmakers are considering, and why relief may not come quickly.

🎯 In Today's Show:

Supreme Court ruling on asylum policy
Major Second Amendment victory in Hawaii case
Iran rejects Trump's proposal on frozen assets
Latest update on U.S.-Iran negotiations
South Carolina insurance crisis explained

Today's show covers a dramatic showdown inside the Republican Party, a major federal court ruling, and the opening of a remarkable new American landmark.

President Donald Trump was reportedly involved in a heated exchange with Senator Bill Cassidy over the proposed War Powers Resolution, legislation backed by Democrats that would limit the president's authority to conduct military operations involving Iran without additional congressional approval. We break down the disagreement and what it could mean for Republican support on Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile, an Obama-appointed federal judge struck down key portions of President Trump's election integrity executive order, ruling that parts of the order exceeded presidential authority and violated the constitutional separation of powers. We explain the court's reasoning, the administration's response, and what could happen next as the legal battle continues.

Also today, a fascinating piece of American history is opening to the public. Visitors can now explore the newly unveiled Lincoln Memorial Undercroft beneath the Lincoln Memorial.
