Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A packed show today with major developments that could impact elections, air travel safety, and even congressional pay.

The US Supreme Court appears to be leaning toward limiting how long late-arriving mail-in ballots can be counted — a decision tied to a case out of Mississippi that could have major implications for the upcoming midterm elections and control of Congress.

Meanwhile, new video has surfaced showing the terrifying moment an Air Canada jet collided with a fire truck on the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York. The incident is raising serious questions about runway safety and air traffic control procedures.

Back in Washington, members of Congress are now suing for a pay raise — and it could mean significant backpay. South Carolina lawmakers could see as much as $419,000 each if the case is resolved in their favor. The lawsuit, originally filed in 2024, appears to be moving closer to a resolution.

And here at home, Drew McKissick, Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, joins the show to discuss candidate filing ahead of the midterms and the party’s position on proposed legislation that would require third-party political organizations to disclose their donors.
