Trump Responds to Iran Threats | Tim Walz Defends Controversial Pardon (Ep 785)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers escalating tensions with Iran, a contentious Senate confirmation hearing, renewed controversy surrounding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and South Carolina's ongoing budget stalemate. President Donald Trump made his first public appearance outside the White House since the NATO summit, addressing reported threats from Iran and saying his focus remains on weakening the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The President also claimed the IRGC has lost roughly 90% of its weapons capability following continued military operations. We have the latest developments from the Middle East. Meanwhile, the White House sharply criticized questioning by Senator Mazie Hirono during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for acting Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche. We'll review the exchange and what to expect as confirmation hearings continue. Also today, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is defending his support for pardoning a Laotian national who had been convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl before later being deported after the Trump administration took action. We examine the timeline, the governor's comments, and the political reaction. And here in South Carolina, lawmakers still have not reached agreement on a state budget, leaving the government operating under a continuing resolution weeks into the new fiscal year. We'll explain how continuing resolutions work, why the budget remains unresolved, and what the delay means for taxpayers and state agencies. 🎯 In Today's Show: * Trump addresses threats from Iran * Latest update on military operations against the IRGC * Todd Blanche Senate confirmation hearing * White House responds to Mazie Hirono * Tim Walz defends controversial pardon * South Carolina budget stalemate explained 📩 Join our mailing list at JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, South Carolina news, and interviews with the leaders shaping today's headlines. #BreakingNews #Trump #Iran #IRGC #ToddBlanche #TimWalz #SouthCarolina #Budget #Politics #MazieHirono #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow #SCPolitics

Remembering Senator Lindsey Graham | His Story, Service and Legacy (Ep 782)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today we pause from the daily headlines to honor the life and legacy of Lindsey Graham, one of the most consequential political figures in South Carolina history. Following news of Senator Graham's passing at age 71 after a brief illness, tributes have poured in from across the political spectrum, military leaders, longtime colleagues, and President Donald Trump. In this special one-hour tribute, we reflect on the remarkable journey of a man who spent more than three decades serving South Carolina and the United States. You'll hear the story of his humble beginnings in Central, South Carolina, where tragedy struck early in life after the loss of both parents, leaving him to help raise his younger sister while pursuing his education. We also examine his distinguished military career in the United States Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corps, where he served for more than 30 years, eventually retiring with the rank of colonel after supporting military operations around the world. We'll revisit his political career—from the South Carolina House of Representatives to the U.S. House and ultimately the United States Senate—where he became one of the nation's most recognizable voices on national security, foreign policy, and judicial nominations. Finally, we explore one of modern politics' most remarkable relationships: how Lindsey Graham went from one of Donald Trump's sharpest Republican critics during the 2016 presidential campaign to one of the President's closest allies and most trusted advisers. Whether you agreed with Senator Graham's positions or not, few would dispute his influence on South Carolina politics and his commitment to public service. Today, we remember the man, his service, and the legacy he leaves behind. 📩 Join our mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text the Firmin Ford Text Line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) Follow Joey: Facebook: facebook.com/joeyhudsononline X: @joeyhudson Subscribe for thoughtful political analysis, South Carolina news, interviews, and special programs honoring the people and events that shape our state and nation. #LindseyGraham #SouthCarolina #USSenate #Tribute #RememberingLindseyGraham #Politics #DonaldTrump #MilitaryService #Leadership #AmericanHistory #SouthCarolinaPolitics #JustTheTruth #Legacy #Patriot #RestInPeace
