Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Democrats are now calling the ongoing government shutdown “leverage,” while Republicans blast it as political hostage-taking. We break down the stalemate—and what it means for paychecks, defense, and negotiations.
In Memphis, President Trump’s federal crime crackdown reports 1,000+ arrests, over 100 alleged gang members off the streets, and dozens of missing children located—what the operation is targeting and how long it lasts.
Back home, South Carolina’s state-owned utility Santee Cooper is poised to choose partners to revive the partially built V.C. Summer AP1000 reactors—potentially transforming a costly failure into reliable, carbon-free baseload power. What the plan could mean for rates, reliability, and the state’s booming data-center/manufacturing demand.
Plus: Lt. Governor Pamela Evette joins the show to talk South Carolina growth, energy, jobs, and how the Palmetto State navigates the national turbulence.
Topics: government shutdown leverage vs. hostage-taking, Memphis crime sweep results, missing children recoveries, SC nuclear reboot (V.C. Summer/AP1000), interview with Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
