Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Two major stories are raising serious questions about power, control, and accountability—both here at home and across the globe.

First, in California, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has seized more than 650,000 ballots from the state’s November election after a third-party review flagged what could be up to 45,000 questionable votes. While state officials are pushing back, the investigation is now underway—bringing election integrity back into the national spotlight.

At the same time, halfway around the world, tensions are rising in one of the most critical energy chokepoints on the planet—the Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate that Iran is now charging some oil tankers as much as $2 million for passage through the strait. This narrow waterway handles nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply, making any disruption a potential global economic shock.

What does all of this mean for Americans?
Energy prices, national security, and confidence in our electoral system are all in focus.

We break it all down—what’s happening, what’s at stake, and why it matters now more than ever.
