‘Mixed Emotions’ Olympians Spark Backlash | Guthrie Ransom | DHS Shutdown Warning (Ep 656)
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Calls for an Olympic boycott are growing after several Team USA athletes admitted they have “mixed emotions” about representing the United States — comments that sparked swift backlash from Americans who say wearing the flag isn’t optional.
Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have issued an emotional plea to kidnappers demanding the safe return of their mother, Nancy Guthrie. According to reports, the family has agreed to pay the ransom, with a critical deadline set for 5 p.m. today as authorities continue working the case.
In Washington, John Fetterman is predicting a potential Department of Homeland Security shutdown, warning that Congress remains deadlocked as the funding deadline hits Friday — putting border security, TSA, and emergency operations at risk.
And closer to home, Kid Rock’s Rock the Country festival has officially canceled its only South Carolina stop after Shinedown pulled out, citing concerns about “unity” and division. The decision has ignited debate over politics, culture, and whether music events should stay neutral — or take a stand.
This episode of Just the Truth cuts through the noise — covering patriotism, public safety, Washington dysfunction, and the culture clashes shaping America right now.
