Listen "Free Speech vs. Old Glory: Trump Pushes Flag-Burning Crackdown (Ep 517)"
Episode Synopsis
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Should flag burning be a crime—or protected speech? The Trump administration is pushing a fresh challenge that could land at the U.S. Supreme Court and test the 1st Amendment’s limits since Texas v. Johnson (1989). We break down what’s possible, what isn’t, and how DOJ could try to narrow current precedent.
Plus: Cracker Barrel’s rebrand controversy deepens. It’s not just the logo—fans say even the classic table peg game got “softened” (and misspelled). Is this modernization or a brand identity wipeout?
Also today: Southwest Airlines rolls out new conditions for “customers of size” starting in January—what it means for booking, refunds, and your seat rights. And in South Carolina, the State Ports Authority will pay former CEO Barbara Melvin $822,780, add $100,000 to her retirement account, and retain her as an hourly consultant—here’s the full breakdown and why it’s raising eyebrows.
