Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
To close or not to close? Washington faces a government shutdown showdown as Democrats and Republicans spar over a clean CR vs policy add-ons. We break down Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan, Senate dynamics, and who owns the blame if the lights go out.
Plus, new details on the bloody weekend: a Michigan church shooting and a North Carolina waterfront restaurant shooting in Southport. Authorities say both suspects were veterans with apparent service-related mental-health issues. We ask the hard question: Are we taking care of our veterans? We’ll outline where VA support works, where it fails, and practical fixes.
Also today: YouTube’s parent company settles with President Trump for $24.5 million—and we discuss what he says he’ll do with the money. And an Australian company learns the Dylan Mulvaney effect the hard way after a high-profile woke marketing move—millions lost and stores shuttered.
