US Launches Self-Defense Strikes on Iran | Gas Prices Surge & SC Redistricting (Ep 745)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Major developments overseas and here at home as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East. United States Central Command confirmed that U.S. forces carried out “self-defense strikes” in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats after threats against American forces. We break down what happened, why the strikes were ordered, and what this could mean for the region moving forward. Meanwhile, Americans are already feeling the economic effects. According to reports, families were expected to spend nearly $2 billion more on gasoline this Memorial Day weekend compared to last year. With summer travel season underway, concerns are growing about what continued tensions with Iran could mean for fuel prices nationwide. Back in South Carolina, the Senate has tentatively approved a White House-backed congressional map that could reshape the political landscape ahead of the midterm elections. A final vote could happen as early as today, even as early voting begins. And joining us today is David Atchley, candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s 4th District. We discuss the possibility of the June 9 primary being pushed back to August and the issues voters are talking about on the campaign trail. 🎯 In Today’s Show: * U.S. self-defense strikes in Iran * Strait of Hormuz tensions update * Gas prices surge ahead of summer travel * South Carolina redistricting latest * Early voting begins amid map controversy * Interview with David Atchley 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-5639 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, and South Carolina-focused coverage. #BreakingNews #Iran #USMilitary #GasPrices #SouthCarolina #Redistricting #Politics #DavidAtchley #WorldNews #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow #NewsUpdate

Trump Draws Red Line on Iran | Congress Pork Spending Exposed (Ep 742)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Another packed day of headlines — from rising tensions with Iran to taxpayer outrage over government spending. Donald Trump says Iran will not be allowed to keep highly enriched uranium, creating what could become a major sticking point in ongoing peace negotiations. Pakistani mediators are reportedly pushing Tehran toward a deal, but questions remain about whether both sides are willing to compromise. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Justice has charged 15 people in what prosecutors describe as a shocking $90 million fraud scheme tied to Minnesota nonprofit operations and government programs. The so-called “ringleader” connected to the Feeding Our Future scandal has now been sentenced. And if you think Washington has a spending problem — just wait until you hear what’s inside the 2026 Congressional Pig Book. Millions in taxpayer-funded earmarks are raising eyebrows nationwide, including spending on feral hog management programs, theater renovations, and broadband projects critics say are already heavily funded. We break down some of the most eye-popping examples. Back in South Carolina, the first day of Senate debate over congressional redistricting turned tense at times, with lawmakers facing growing pressure over deadlines as early voting approaches next week. Lt Governor Pamela Evette checks in with us too on her latest take on redistricting.  🎯 In Today’s Show: * Trump draws hard line in Iran negotiations * DOJ announces major Minnesota fraud charges * Congressional Pig Book 2026 breakdown * Federal spending and earmark controversy * South Carolina Senate redistricting debate update 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-5639 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, and South Carolina-focused coverage. #BreakingNews #Trump #Iran #Congress #PigBook #GovernmentWaste #Minnesota #Fraud #SouthCarolina #Redistricting #Politics #JustTheTruth
