Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

MAGA hat censorship in St. Louis, Harry Enten’s explosive take on Trump’s influence, Texas Democrats fleeing to Chicago over redistricting, SC’s new hands-free driving law, and closing with Senator Tim Scott on faith and Trump’s first six months.

Block 1 – Free Speech & MAGA Hat Incident at St. Louis City SC

  • Viral moment: Michael Weitzel escorted out of Energizer Park for wearing a MAGA hat; security claimed political symbols weren’t allowed while other “pre-approved” flags flew. Reaction and implications for ideological censorship in public entertainment venues. (Fox News, OutKick, Daily Caller)
  • Block 2 – Harry Enten’s Verdict: Trump “Most Influential President This Century”

    • CNN’s Harry Enten lays out why he’s making the claim: historic rise in average U.S. tariff rates (from ~2% to roughly 18%), plunging net immigration trends potentially turning negative, and a record pace of executive orders in Trump’s second, nonconsecutive term. Framing influence vs. legacy. (Mediaite, New York Post, Fox News)
    • Block 3 – Texas Democrats Flee to Chicago to Block Redistricting

      • Over 50 Texas House Democrats fly to Chicago to deny quorum and stall a GOP-backed redistricting map that could add five House seats the Trump coalition carried in 2024. GOP leadership, including Attorney General Ken Paxton, threatens penalties and possible arrest; Democrats frame it as a moral stand. The broader fight over representation, map fairness, and political theater. (Houston Chronicle, Financial Times, PBS)
      • Block 4 – South Carolina’s Hands-Free and Distracted Driving Law

        • Gov. Henry McMaster signs H.3276, the Hands-Free and Distracted Driving Act, banning holding or supporting mobile devices while driving. Warning period begins September 1, 2025, giving drivers six months to adjust before citations. What to expect and enforcement timeline. (governor.sc.gov, SC Daily Gazette, WSOC TV)
        • Block 5 – Tim Scott on Faith, Trump’s First Six Months & New Book

          • Senator Tim Scott joins to discuss the achievements of President Trump’s first half-year, the role of Christian values in American history, and his upcoming book One Nation Always Under God: Profiles in Christian Courage (street date August 5, 2025). Book highlights Americans of faith who shaped the nation—used as a rallying call for faith-infused patriotism. (HarperCollins, Target)
