Trump Responds to Iran Threats | Tim Walz Defends Controversial Pardon (Ep 785)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today's show covers escalating tensions with Iran, a contentious Senate confirmation hearing, renewed controversy surrounding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and South Carolina's ongoing budget stalemate.

President Donald Trump made his first public appearance outside the White House since the NATO summit, addressing reported threats from Iran and saying his focus remains on weakening the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The President also claimed the IRGC has lost roughly 90% of its weapons capability following continued military operations. We have the latest developments from the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the White House sharply criticized questioning by Senator Mazie Hirono during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for acting Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche. We'll review the exchange and what to expect as confirmation hearings continue.

Also today, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is defending his support for pardoning a Laotian national who had been convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl before later being deported after the Trump administration took action. We examine the timeline, the governor's comments, and the political reaction.

And here in South Carolina, lawmakers still have not reached agreement on a state budget, leaving the government operating under a continuing resolution weeks into the new fiscal year. We'll explain how continuing resolutions work, why the budget remains unresolved, and what the delay means for taxpayers and state agencies.
