Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Here in South Carolina, parents are gaining more control over their children’s education. Freedom In Education has awarded a $50,000 grant to the Palmetto Promise Institute — helping expand the state’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund, which now provides 10,000 scholarships for families seeking private or alternative schooling that better fits their values and their kids’ needs.
Joining us to discuss the impact of this growing school choice movement is Dr. Oran Smith, Senior Fellow with Palmetto Promise Institute.
And on our guest line — Pete Sepp, President of the National Taxpayers Union — the voice of America’s taxpayers. He’s warning that a proposed change by the Federal Housing Finance Agency could reignite the mistakes of 2008.
The FHFA wants to add VantageScore 4.0 alongside FICO for mortgage lending — but critics say it could let underqualified buyers back into the market and leave taxpayers footing the bill if another housing bubble bursts.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
