Breaking: Congress Leaves Town During Shutdown | Backlash Builds (Ep 698)


Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A powerful mix of political accountability, a deeply emotional family story, and major developments here in South Carolina.

Members of Congress are facing growing criticism after leaving Washington while the federal government remains partially shut down. With no resolution in sight, many Americans are asking a simple question: should lawmakers have stayed and finished the job?

Meanwhile, a heartbreaking case is drawing national attention. A father is speaking out after the death of his 25-year-old daughter, who was euthanized following a series of tragic events — despite his legal efforts to prevent it. The story is raising serious questions about medical ethics, legal authority, and family rights.

And here in South Carolina, the political spotlight is shifting to the Governor’s race. Drew McKissick joins us to break down this week’s televised gubernatorial debates at the Newberry Opera House — airing across the Upstate and expected to shape the race moving forward.

  • Congress criticized for leaving DC during shutdown
  • Should lawmakers stay until a deal is reached?
