Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Major developments today involving national security, economic policy, and South Carolina politics.

The FBI is investigating a violent attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, calling it a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.” Authorities are working to determine motive as concerns about antisemitic violence rise across the country.

Meanwhile, United States Central Command confirmed that a U.S. aircraft has been reported lost in Iraq during ongoing military operations connected to the conflict with Iran. Details remain limited as officials assess what happened and the status of the crew.

President Donald Trump is also urging the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates immediately, arguing that the economic fallout from the conflict with Iran — particularly rising energy prices — requires swift action to stabilize the economy.

Closer to home, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has vetoed a bill that would have shielded college athletes’ NIL deals from public records requests. The legislature must now decide whether to override the veto or allow the measure to die.

And South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette joins the show to discuss the state budget recently passed by the SC House and what to expect as the Senate finalizes its version.
