Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today on the show, we break down a major week in Washington and across the country. The House passed the massive $901 billion National Defense Authorization Act — but 112 lawmakers voted “no,” including 18 Republicans, and we’ve got the full breakdown of who sided against the bill and why. We also cover Erika Kirk’s emotional response to conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of her husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Plus — President Trump’s self-deportation effort continues to surge, with more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants leaving the U.S. this year, many using Trump’s complimentary exit flights and $1,000 departure bonus. Meanwhile, Minnesota is under renewed scrutiny as a Somali-linked nonprofit allegedly siphoned off hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars, and a new whistleblower in Maine now claims fraud cost that state millions as well.

We also take a closer look at the House’s immigration battles, Illinois releasing violent criminal illegals despite ICE detainers, and why a Vermont school district is under fire for raising a Somali flag. All that — plus the latest on Clemson University President Jim Clements’ sudden resignation — in today’s show.
