Joey Hudson / Just The Truth

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Yesterday, more than 200,000 mourners gathered at State Farm Stadium to say goodbye to Charlie Kirk—husband, father, founder of Turning Point USA, and a defining voice for a generation. In today’s show, we bring you the moments that mattered—and what they mean next.

In this episode:

• Stadium memorial highlights: tributes, testimonies, and a call to carry the torch
• “Martyr” debate: what the term means historically and why so many used it yesterday
• Trump & Musk together at the memorial: symbolism and possible thaw in tensions
• Investigation update: where the case stands and what’s being examined
• Policy watch: the death-penalty discussion and how Utah/South Carolina approach it
• Health policy tease: President Trump signals a “major” autism announcement

Key takeaways:

• The memorial blended grief with resolve: “You can silence a man, not a movement.”

• The “martyr” label isn’t a slogan—it’s about how attempts to silence can amplify a message.

• Public safety and political violence are under a microscope as investigators probe every angle.

• A renewed push for debate, mentorship, free speech, and disciplined civic engagement.
