Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A packed show today with major developments in Washington and right here in South Carolina.

Senate Republicans attempted to push the SAVE Act forward — legislation aimed at strengthening election integrity and requiring proof of citizenship for voting — but the bill has hit a roadblock, signaling more negotiations ahead on Capitol Hill.

At the same time, the House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena to Pam Bondi, demanding testimony over what lawmakers are calling potential mismanagement of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the handling of related files. This could mark a major escalation in efforts to uncover more details surrounding the case.

Meanwhile, a controversial pilot program in Illinois is drawing national attention. The initiative would provide a guaranteed income — including to immigrants — raising serious questions about incentives, taxpayer funding, and the potential impact on immigration policy if expanded nationwide.

Back in South Carolina, state senators are once again moving to remove the interim director of the public health department, revisiting concerns tied to the agency’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And the race for governor continues to take shape, as businessman Rom Reddy officially enters the contest, adding another name to an already growing field.

• SAVE Act update and Senate gridlock
