Trump, Jamaica, Flock Cameras and a Beauty Pageant Controversy (Ep 803) Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today's show covers President Trump's defense of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a heartbreaking story involving an American father facing years in prison in Jamaica, another controversy involving Flock license plate reader technology, and a growing debate surrounding the removal of Miss North Carolina USA.

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. The decision has generated intense debate, particularly because organizers have not publicly released detailed information about the allegations.

Another Assassination Attempt on Trump? | Chicago Abandons Government Grocery Plan (Ep 802) Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

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.

Show notes

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. We'll examine the latest developments involving interim U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and the ongoing debate surrounding the case.

In South Carolina, another twist has emerged in the race to fill the Senate seat vacated by the late Lindsey Graham. A judge ruled that Senate candidate Danny Lee Ford II must be placed on the Republican primary ballot. However, the South Carolina Republican Party immediately appealed the decision, leaving the final outcome in the hands of the South Carolina Supreme Court.

WEEKEND: Disabled, Injured, and Forgotten Dogs Find Hope at Pet Tender Angels (Ep 798) Aug 02, 2026

Show notes

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.

Lori Jewell, founder of Pet Tender Angels, joins me to talk about the organization's mission, the incredible stories of hope and healing, and the financial crisis that now threatens its future.

Pet Tender Angels receives no state funding and no federal funding. Every dollar comes from generous donors who believe these animals deserve a chance at life.

We're also highlighting a special opportunity for supporters. Thanks to the generosity of Ingles and an anonymous donor, contributions are currently being matched dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.

If you have ever considered supporting animal rescue efforts, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference.

New Poll: Republican Support for the Iran War Is Falling | New Study Raises Questions About Prescriptions (Ep 797) Jul 31, 2026

Show notes

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.

New polling on the conflict with Iran
Why Republican voters appear divided
A new study on prescription medications and aging

Fauci Pleads the Fifth 111 Times | South Carolina Says Goodbye to Lindsey Graham (Ep 796) Jul 30, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today's show covers the highly anticipated Senate hearing involving Dr. Anthony Fauci, a prison sentence stemming from last year's anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, growing concerns over rising veterinary costs, and South Carolina's final farewell to Senator Lindsey Graham.

Former White House adviser Anthony Fauci appeared before a Senate committee seeking answers about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the hearing, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights repeatedly and declined to answer numerous questions. We'll examine the hearing, review the testimony, and discuss the continuing debate surrounding the pandemic's origins.

Also today, a California man was sentenced to more than three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to participating in a violent confrontation during anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles. Prosecutors said the defendant targeted law enforcement officers amid the unrest. We'll review the case and the broader discussion surrounding violence directed at law enforcement officers.

Meanwhile, many Americans have noticed that veterinary care has become considerably more expensive in recent years. The Trump administration is reportedly examining whether industry consolidation and large corporate mergers have reduced competition and contributed to higher prices. We'll look at what's happening and what pet owners need to know.

Finally, after Tuesday's funeral service in Washington, South Carolina held its own farewell for Senator Lindsey Graham at First Baptist Church in Columbia. Friends, family members, elected officials, and thousands of South Carolinians gathered to honor the life and legacy of a man who served the state for more than three decades.

Welcome to a special edition of Just the Truth, broadcasting from Washington, D.C., where I attended the funeral service honoring the life and legacy of Lindsey Graham at the Washington National Cathedral.

President Donald Trump welcomed both Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House for separate Oval Office meetings. We'll share highlights from those discussions and examine what they could mean for ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

We'll also take a closer look at reports involving former Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush after questions were raised about a nonprofit organization she promoted to donors while serving in Congress.

In addition, we'll discuss a new report highlighting the continuing impact of grocery inflation. According to the New York Post, food prices have risen approximately 33% over the past several years, leaving many American families struggling with the highest sustained grocery costs in decades. We'll examine what's driving those prices and whether consumers can expect meaningful relief.

Finally, we devote a significant portion of today's program to remembering Senator Lindsey Graham. You'll see highlights from a moving service filled with personal stories, tributes from family and friends, and reflections on a public servant whose influence stretched far beyond South Carolina. Whether you agreed with his politics or not, his decades of service left an unmistakable mark on our state and our nation.
