The goal is simple: help students plan confidently for life after high school.

Don Lemon: "Religious Groups" and "entitled" along with "White Supremist" Caused Unrest! (Ep 640) Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Things are heating up over Greenland… Local Danish broadcaster TV 2 said the Danish Armed Forces confirmed a new contingent of troops, described as "a substantial contribution," were headed to Greenland’s main international airport Monday night…. with tensions escalating with President Donald Trump over control of the region.

Fired CNN host Don Lemon suggested some of the outrage after he followed a group of anti-ICE agitators who stormed into a St. Paul church came from "religious groups" who feel "entitled" due to …you ready for this….White supremacy….yes, Donnie is now playing the race card on his role in disrupting a church service on Sunday.

Only one out of nearly 20 Democrats who may run for president would say definitively that a man cannot become a woman, according to a new report from Axios.

SC GOP Chairman Drew McKissick joins to further clarify what is in the two competing bills the SC General Assembly is considering that would close political primaries in the state.

“Invasion?” Minneapolis Mayor, Ilhan Omar Escalate Rhetoric as ICE Crackdown Continues (Ep 639) Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

What’s happening in Minneapolis right now is a warning sign for the rest of the country.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is calling federal immigration enforcement an “invasion,” while Rep. Ilhan Omar compares ICE operations to conditions in Somalia — rhetoric that critics say is inflaming tensions instead of restoring order.

At the same time, federal agents are in Minnesota responding to massive fraud investigations and years of limited cooperation from local officials — raising serious questions about leadership, public safety, and the rule of law.

In today’s show:
• Why Minneapolis leaders are escalating language instead of de-escalating chaos
• The difference between federal enforcement and political theater
• How sanctuary policies push enforcement into the streets
• What this standoff means for law enforcement and public safety
• Updates from the South Carolina Statehouse, including closed primaries and DUI reform

🎧 Plus:
South Carolina Rep. Mike Burns joins us with an update on the growing battle over closing primaries, and Senate President Thomas Alexander outlines what to expect as the SC General Assembly kicks off the new session.

WEEKEND: SC Primaries| Open or Closed? | Evans Training Center Making a Difference(Ep 638) Jan 17, 2026

Show notes

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.

Leavitt TORCHES Reporter Over Renee Good — “You’re a Left-Wing Activist!” (Must Listen) (Ep 637) Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

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….

Senate Flip-Flop Saves Trump War Powers — And the “Men Get Pregnant?” Moment Goes Viral (Ep 636) Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

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.

“Which Is It, Tim?” Walz Flip-Flop Sparks Backlash as Minnesota Tensions Rise (Ep 635) Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

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.
