SNAP, Shutdown & Showdowns: Judge Orders Full Payments, Pelosi Retires, NYC Defund Push (Ep 579)

Joey Hudson / Just The Truth

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A federal judge orders full SNAP payments for November—even during the shutdown. How can a court compel spending when “the money isn’t there”? Joey breaks down the legal levers (injunctions, contingency funds, and agency discretion) and what it means for taxpayers and 42 million SNAP recipients.

Plus: Rep. Buddy Carter’s MAMDANI Act would block all federal funds to New York City while socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is in office. Smart pushback—or pure symbolism that still frames 2026?

We also cover Nancy Pelosi’s retirement (effective January 2027): respect for the first female Speaker’s trailblazing role—and a frank look at the divisive legacy she leaves behind.

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamella Evette joins us to respond to the Nancy Mace airport-police controversy and the governor’s race drama.

Travel alert: as the shutdown drags on, the feds order steep flight cuts at 40 major airports—expect delays and cancellations. And the Supreme Court allows the State Department’s biological-sex passport policy to proceed (for now).
