Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

BLOCK 1 — Ninth Circuit birthright ruling (11:00)

  • Hook: “When even the Ninth Circuit says ‘not a citizen,’ people notice.”
  • Key points:
    • Children born in the U.S. to foreign diplomats are not automatic citizens under the 14th Amendment (“subject to the jurisdiction” clause).
    • Case centered on decades of mistaken citizenship; State Dept. later confirmed parent’s full diplomatic immunity.
    • Why it matters: clarifies a narrow—but consequential—limit; implications for broader birthright debates (diplomats ≠ tourists ≠ illegal entrants).
    • On-air language: “narrow, long-recognized exception,” “constitutional text/jurisdiction,” “not a new rule—affirmation of existing law.”
    • Phone prompt: “Should sympathy ever override constitutional limits on citizenship?”

      • BLOCK 2 — Cracker Barrel transformation & DEI backlash (8:50)

      • Hook: “From rocking chairs to rebrand—did Cracker Barrel forget who it serves?”
      • Key points:
        • New logo/modern interiors spark blowback from core customers.
        • Spotlight on board makeup & DEI pedigree fueling ‘culture shift’ narrative.
        • Business risk: alienating loyalists while chasing audiences unlikely to convert.
        • Questions to audience: “Will you still go? Or vote with your wallet?”

          • BLOCK 3 — 2M-signature petition for illegal migrant trucker (12:00)

          • Hook: “Three lives lost; two million signatures demand leniency.”
          • Key points:
            • Accused: Harjinder Singh—alleged illegal U-turn in semi; three fatalities; subsequent flight; later captured.
            • Statutory exposure: vehicular homicide (15 yrs per count in FL).
            • Tension: international pressure vs. justice for victims; rule of law vs. online petitions.
            • Phone prompt: “Should governors consider viral petitions when sentencing isn’t even decided yet?”

              • BLOCK 4 — Steven Bixby competency hearing (10:05)

              • Hook: “Delusion or doctrine? Death row killer claims ‘angel was present’ during murders.”
              • Key points:
                • Competing psychiatric testimony: understands crime/punishment vs. ‘bizarre beliefs’ blocking rational legal work with counsel.
                • SC’s competency standard: ability to rationally communicate + understand proceedings.
                • Next steps: proposed orders due; judge rules within 30 days; appeals possible.
                • Thought line: “Justice, mercy, and mental state—where should the line be?”
