Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

House Republicans are ramping up their investigation into what they allege was a coordinated effort to conceal President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his time in office — and they’re not ruling out bringing in the former president or First Lady Jill Biden for questioning.

In his first public comments since his father left the White House…. Hunter Biden blamed Democrats—yes, Democrats—for his father’s humiliating 2024 election loss. And he didn’t hold back.

ALSO… the man who spent years lecturing the rest of us about law and order, who led the charge in impeaching President Trump over a phone call—yeah, that guy—Adam Schiff….has just been referred to the Department of Justice for mortgage fraud.

Epstein’s lawyer says there was absolutely no client list — and also sets the record straight on President Trump saying there’s nothing ‘improper or even questionable’

Good morning, Carolina! You’re tuned in to Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson—your daily destination for no-fluff, conservative commentary on the headlines that matter.

First up, more twists in the Biden autopen saga—you know, that device the President’s been using to sign hundreds of documents remotely. According to senior White House officials, the Counsel’s Office has now teamed up with the Department of Justice on an internal investigation. They’re reportedly poring over more than a million documents tied to this machine. We’ll break down what this means for transparency, accountability—and why Republicans in Congress aren’t buying the administration’s explanations.

Next, the White House rolled out an interactive map showing how Americans in all 50 states will pocket savings thanks to President Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill Act. We’ve got the details—real wage increases, Social Security tax breaks, job protections, and more. I’ll walk you through how to find this tool online, punch in your ZIP code, and see exactly how much you stand to gain. Hint: It’s looking mighty good for folks right here in the Carolinas.

Now here’s one you didn’t see coming: a rare moment of agreement between Whoopi Goldberg and yours truly. That’s right—she and I actually saw eye to eye on a hot-button issue yesterday. Stick around, because later in the show I’ll reveal exactly what had Whoopi and me nodding in unison—and why it matters more than you might think.

Finally, in South Carolina politics, Lt. Governor Pamela Evette has made it official: she’s in the race for Governor. We’ll give you an inside look at her kickoff video, campaign priorities, and what’s next as she gears up to take on Josh Kimbrell, Alan Wilson, and the rumored bids from Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman. If you’re tuning in from upstate, this one’s tailor-made for you.

It was a blockbuster day for breaking news—and we’ve got it all on this episode of Just the Truth with Joey Hudson.

🔔 The Supreme Court just gave President Donald Trump a major win, clearing the path for the Education Department to move forward with firing hundreds of employees as soon as this week. It’s all part of Trump’s long-promised plan to streamline the federal government—and yes, that includes dismantling parts of the Department of Education.

🕵️‍♂️ Meanwhile, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino was spotted back at headquarters, following a personal day reportedly taken to consider the DOJ’s questionable handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Is Bongino preparing to speak out publicly? We break it all down.

🖊️ The New York Post Editorial Board is hammering Former President Joe Biden over his staff’s use of an autopen to issue hundreds of last-minute presidential pardons. Critics are calling it not just lazy, but legally and ethically questionable. The Biden team’s response? Let’s just say it’s not helping.

⚠️ And now, Senator Rand Paul is once again calling for criminal charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci, reigniting his referral from last year.

On today’s episode of Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson:

A Sunday morning in Kentucky turns violent as a suspect opens fire at both an airport and a local church, injuring multiple victims, including a state trooper. We’ve got the latest on this shocking, developing story.

Then, we revisit the ongoing frustration surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. Remember when Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino all demanded the Epstein sex-trafficking records be released? Now the AG is walking back any hope for transparency, claiming there’s “nothing new to report.” Is this justice delayed—or justice denied?

Former ICE Director Tom Homan took CNN’s Dana Bash to school over the weekend, pushing back hard against liberal claims that ICE agents are "racially profiling" illegals in California. Let’s just say… Tom didn’t hold back.

In the world of entertainment, James Gunn’s politically infused Superman reboot may have lifted off—but did woke messaging stall the box office momentum? We'll break down the numbers and the fan reactions.

Plus—South Carolina’s governor’s race just got messier. One early candidate finds himself caught in a messy business dispute… at the worst possible time. We’ve got the backstory and what it could mean for his political future.
