41 minutes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

1) Dallas ICE facility shooting

Police identified the gunman who opened fire from a nearby rooftop, killing one and injuring two before taking his own life. Ammunition reportedly bore anti-ICE messages. We walk through the timeline, the response from state/federal leaders, and why rhetoric around immigration enforcement is under the microscope.

2) Who had the rooftops? TPUSA speaks out

Two weeks after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet explains the limits of private security at campus events—why TPUSA protects the principal’s immediate vicinity while rooftops/perimeter fall under local and campus PD. We break down drones, counter-snipers, and realistic protocols for open-air venues.

3) “Political crisis” mood spike (Quinnipiac)

A new national poll finds nearly 8 in 10 voters say the U.S. is in a political crisis following Kirk’s assassination. Majorities expect more political violence and worry about free speech protections. We unpack the crosstabs and what this means for 2025–26.

4) Cracker Barrel’s customer exodus

From first to worst: fresh restaurant data show Cracker Barrel plunging after the logo/brand pivot backlash—even after the walk-back. We look at who left, why brand trust matters, and which competitors gained.

Plus: forfeited HS volleyball matches over a transgender player, a “quiet time surcharge” at a restaurant that stunned diners, and more headlines.
