Bernie vs. Schumer, Flight Cuts, and the Fight for Transparency (Ep 578)

Joey Hudson / Just The Truth

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Democrats may be celebrating their election wins — but all is not well inside the party.
At a post-election press conference, Sen. Bernie Sanders crashed Chuck Schumer’s podium, blasting party leadership for abandoning socialist candidates like New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. What followed was a stunning display of infighting and political tension that shows how fractured the Democratic coalition has become.

Meanwhile, the Schumer Shutdown enters week five — and the fallout is hitting air travelers hard. The FAA and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a 10% reduction in flights across 40 major airports due to staffing shortages. If you’re flying this weekend, you’ll want to double-check your plans.

And in an emotional moment that’s gripping the nation — Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, is calling for cameras to remain in the courtroom for the trial of her husband’s accused killer. “There were cameras when my husband was murdered,” she said. “There should be cameras for the truth.”

We’ll cover all that and more — plus my take on what Tuesday’s results really mean for 2026.
The bottom line: we’ve got work to do.
