“Charlie Kirk Assassination: Suspect Update, Memorial Details & Free-Speech Fallout” (Ep 534)

Joey Hudson / Just The Truth

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

We open the week with sober updates on the assassination of Charlie Kirk—what investigators say about the suspect, timeline, and motive clues, plus details on a Sunday memorial service honoring his life. We also cover the nationwide free-speech fallout: teachers, professors, healthcare workers, and corporate staff disciplined for social posts celebrating Kirk’s death—where’s the line between protected speech and professional standards?

In South Carolina, Clemson University faces intense scrutiny over employees’ posts and has called a Board of Trustees meeting; we break down the policy, funding, and First Amendment cross-currents.

And Rep. Luke Rankin joins us to discuss his letter to Presbyterian College after a professor publicly blamed Kirk’s speech for his own murder.

⚠️ Note: This episode discusses an ongoing criminal investigation. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Viewer discretion advised.
