Dem Senator detained; Newsom questions Trump's "mental fitness" (Ep 453)

Just the Truth

A Democrat senator was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference…after reportedly “lunging” at the Secretary where she was addressing the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots. We have the details as this situation get’s crazier by the day.

The musical court decisions continued this week. Yesterday, a U.S. appeals court agreed to pause a lower court order requiring the Trump administration to provide “due process” to hundreds of Venezuelan migrants deported from the U.S. to El Salvador under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. This is a big victory for the Trump administration.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying what Axios describes as a "new line of attack"—he's going after Trump's mental fitness. WOW…coming from the man who never questioned Joe Biden’s ability to run the country over the past four years!!!

SC Congresswoman Sheri Biggs will join us to discuss legislation she has sponsored to help

“Newsom vs. Trump, LA Riots Escalate, Musk Feud Softens, ‘No Kings’ Protests Loom” Ep 453)

Just the Truth

The chaos in Los Angeles shows no signs of slowing down. In today’s explosive episode of Just the Truth Podcast, we break down the escalating anti-ICE riots, Governor Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit to block President Trump’s National Guard deployment, and the DOJ’s sharp response calling it a “crass political stunt.” The battle between state and federal authority has hit a boiling point — and we’re on the front lines.

We also dive into the Trump–Elon Musk feud. After weeks of online jabs over Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” the former president now says he’s open to reconciling with Musk. SC Congressman Ralph Norman joins us to give his take and predict what’s next for the two GOP heavyweights.

Plus: Tensions rise nationwide as the “No Kings” protest movement prepares for large-scale demonstrations against the U.S. Army's 250th birthday parade in Washington, D.C. Governors across the country are putting law enforcement on alert, while the group promises “a nationwide day of defiance.” What’s really behind the protest? And why is the Left framing it as a patriotic act?

We also take you inside the Senator Josh Hawley investigation into whether nonprofit organizations are funding violent LA protests. Who’s behind the rioting? Follow the money.

Finally, we bring you the latest on a South Carolina Freedom of Information Act lawsuit shaking up local government in the Town of Central, and new legal drama surrounding death row inmate Stephen Stanko, who’s attempting to delay his execution citing “botched lethal injections.”

Abrego Garcia Returns, Noncitizen Voting Approved, Trump Restores Base Names, ABC Fires Moran (Ep 452)

Just the Truth

In this explosive episode of The Joey Hudson Show, we break down the latest political chaos gripping the nation—from the courtroom to Capitol Hill. First, the shocking return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to U.S. soil. Deported in March, this known human smuggler and domestic abuser is now back—thanks to Democrat pressure. But what’s waiting for him in the American justice system? We’ve got the legal updates and a breakdown of why the Left pushed so hard for his return.

Next, we spotlight one of the most controversial votes in Congress this year: 148 House Democrats just voted to allow noncitizens to vote in Washington, D.C. elections. You read that right. Noncitizen voting. We discuss what this means for American sovereignty, democratic integrity, and why it’s setting off alarm bells across the country.

Also in this episode: longtime ABC News anchor Terry Moran has officially been fired following a vicious late-night social media attack on Trump adviser Stephen Miller. After nearly three decades at ABC, a single tweet ended it all. We explore what this means for the crumbling line between journalism and activism—and why the media’s mask keeps slipping.

And then there’s President Trump. On Tuesday, he announced the restoration of seven military base names that previously honored Confederate leaders, including Fort Robert E. Lee. The Left is already melting down, but Trump’s message is clear: it’s time to stop erasing American history and start standing up for national heritage and tradition. We unpack the political, legal, and cultural implications of this bold move—and ask: will anyone else on the Right have the guts to follow?

Finally, we look back on the Charleston church massacre as Rep. Jim Clyburn pushes yet again to close the so-called “Charleston Loophole” in federal gun law. Will a longer background check period actually prevent tragedies, or is this just more political grandstanding from the Left?

This episode tackles the most urgent issues in American politics—illegal immigration, noncitizen voting, military identity, and media bias—all in one hard-hitting broadcast.

Trump sends Marines; ICE Raids, Riots, and Political Gaslighting (Ep 451)

Just the Truth

Lawlessness in Los Angeles: ICE Raids, Riots, and Political Gaslighting

BLOCK 1 (11:00 Minutes) A battalion of 500 U.S. Marines are mobilizing to Los Angeles to respond to anti-immigration enforcement riots, Fox News has learned. The Marines, from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, will protect federal property and personnel. The deployment follows President Trump's earlier move of sending 2,000 National Guard troops to the city.

Trump stated, "I think we have it very well under control," while also warning that disrespect toward troops, like spitting, "will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before."

California Governor Gavin Newsom responded with a lawsuit against the Trump administration and claimed the mobilization was "completely uncalled for." The governor and California Attorney General argue that Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated state sovereignty.

Meanwhile, Rep. Maxine Waters made headlines after a video showed her having a federal building door shut in her face while trying to check on SEIU union leader David Huerta. Waters was also caught on video confronting armed agents, accusing them of becoming pawns of Trump. "If you shoot me, you better shoot straight," she said, escalating tensions on the ground.

BLOCK 2 (8:50 Minutes) President Trump stated he would support the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom if he obstructs ICE operations. During a press interaction, Trump remarked that he would arrest Newsom if he were ICE Border Czar Tom Homan. Newsom responded on X, calling it a step toward authoritarianism.

ICE raids in Los Angeles triggered protests that quickly turned violent, with agents under attack and flags burned. Newsom denounced the actions as "reckless" and "cruel," while Homan countered, saying, "No one’s above the law." The discussion on whether state officials can obstruct federal law enforcement continues to escalate.

BLOCK 3 (12:00 Minutes) Tensions boiled over in the media when ABC News' Terry Moran posted a rant accusing Trump and Stephen Miller of being fueled by hate. Moran was suspended, and the post deleted. Joey revisits Moran's history with Trump and discusses the media’s credibility crisis.

Listener feedback pours in:

• Faye condemns Newsom’s lawsuit.

• Albert supports ending EV rebates.

• Jordan suggests a separate sports league for trans athletes and comments on gender dysphoria.

• Jennifer notes a Fox News reporter was without a mic flag during LA riot coverage, likely for safety.

BLOCK 4 (10:05 Minutes) A state senator is asking South Carolina's Supreme Court to block a $2,500 monthly raise for legislators. Sen. Wes Climer argues the raise violates the state constitution’s ban on increasing legislator per diems mid-term. The suit, backed by Democrat Dick Harpootlian, claims the funds are essentially salary increases. 37 GOP lawmakers have refused the raise, and some plan to donate the funds.

EXTRA STORY: Boulder Resolution Fallout More than 100 Democrats voted against a House GOP resolution condemning the accused terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Gabe Evans, also criticized sanctuary policies and visa overstays. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries dismissed the resolution, calling it political. Evans fired back, citing his military and police background.

EXTRA STORY: Greta Thunberg Intercepted by Israel Greta Thunberg was aboard a yacht intercepted by Israel en route to Gaza. Israel labeled the voyage a media stunt, while Thunberg’s group called it a humanitarian mission. The activists were taken to Ashdod for medical checks. Meanwhile, media coverage has been minimal, overshadowed by the LA riots.

“Riots in L.A., ICE Attacks, and a Leadership Meltdown — Who’s Really in Charge?” (Ep 450)

Just the Truth

“Riots in L.A., ICE Attacks, and a Leadership Meltdown — Who’s Really in Charge?”

This week on The Joey Hudson Show, we cut through the political spin and media noise to bring you the truth about what's happening on America’s streets — and in its highest offices.

TOP STORY: L.A. IN FLAMES AND NEWSOM SHRUGS
Los Angeles is under siege. Rioters have taken over the streets, federal immigration agents are being attacked, and California’s leadership is nowhere to be found. Governor Gavin Newsom? His response was to compare these violent protests to “celebrations” after an Eagles playoff win. Seriously. Joey unpacks the absurdity and explains why this downplaying of violence isn’t just ignorant — it’s dangerous. ICE agents doing their jobs were pelted with rocks and denied state-level backup. President Trump isn’t waiting around. He’s deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order and do the job Newsom refuses to do.

REP. NORMA TORRES TURNS ON ICE
Things hit a new low when California Rep. Norma Torres posted “ICE get the f--- out of L.A.” on social media, further inflaming the situation. The backlash was swift, with conservatives calling for her resignation and accusing her of encouraging violence against federal agents. Joey dissects the growing divide between law enforcement and left-wing politicians.

BOOKER CALLS RIOTS 'PEACEFUL'
Over on Meet the Press, Senator Cory Booker called the L.A. riots “peaceful protests.” Never mind the shattered windshields, bloody agents, or graffiti calling to “Kill ICE.” Booker insists deploying the National Guard would escalate things. Joey exposes the hypocrisy and delusion of defending lawlessness under the banner of compassion.

MEDIA BIAS EXPLODES: TERRY MORAN’S MELTDOWN
ABC News anchor Terry Moran lost his grip, calling Trump and Stephen Miller “world-class haters” in a now-deleted social media post. The result? Suspension. Joey reviews Moran’s long history of antagonism toward the Trump administration and what this meltdown reveals about media bias at the highest levels. JD Vance and Karoline Leavitt chime in, and ABC scrambles to control the damage.

DNC INFIGHTING: KEN MARTIN VS. DAVID HOGG
In a bizarre twist, Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin was caught on a leaked Zoom call nearly in tears, venting that David Hogg is stealing his spotlight. Internal war is tearing apart the DNC as Hogg’s group targets Democrat incumbents. Joey explores how the Democrats’ identity crisis is weakening their ability to counter Trump in 2026.

BONUS: CHARLESTON NIGHTCLUB RAID SPARKS OUTRAGE
Joey wraps the show with the story of a major ICE raid on a Charleston-area nightclub linked to cartel operations and human trafficking. Over 80 illegal immigrants were arrested — including gang members and a murder suspect. But immigrant rights groups call the raid traumatic and dehumanizing. We examine both sides of the story and ask: where’s the line between justice and chaos?

 “From Fresh Markets to State Politics: What’s Happening in the Upstate”

Show Description:

This weekend on Just the Truth, we’re taking a break from national headlines to focus on something local, powerful, and delicious — your Upstate farmers markets. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of talking with guests about their community markets, and today, we’re pulling back the curtain on just how many incredible markets are thriving right here in our backyard.

Whether you think of a farmers market as a few veggies and a banjo player, or as a serious source of real food and community strength — today’s show will change how you see these vibrant hubs of local life. Believe it or not, farmers markets are older than America itself. They’re more than just a place to shop — they’re the heartbeat of small-town economies and a vital piece of our food freedom.

We’ll take you on a virtual tour of 10 must-visit Upstate farmers markets, including:

• Greenville State Farmers Market – The regional staple open six days a week.

• TD Saturday Market – Downtown Greenville’s weekend block party of food, music, and fun.

• Travelers Rest Farmers Market – The largest nonprofit market in South Carolina.

• Hub City Farmers Market in Spartanburg, Greer, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Mauldin, and more — each with its own flavor and community spirit.

We’ll also share the hidden gem winter market — The Toasty Farmer — so you can support local growers year-round.

🎙️ PLUS: We’ve got big guests lined up.
Coming up later in the episode:

• Lt. Governor Pamela Evette joins us to discuss the latest state budget signed by Governor Henry McMaster — what’s in it, and what it means for you.

• And Matt Wills, VP of Government Affairs for the Greenville Chamber, stops by to give us the inside scoop on what the Chamber is working on for the next legislative session.

There’s a lot going on in the Upstate — from produce to policy — and today’s show is your front-row seat to it all.

Trump vs. Musk, Judicial Mayhem, and SC Job Delays – It’s All Falling Apart (Ep 449)

Just the Truth

Trump vs. Musk, Judicial Mayhem, and SC Job Delays – It’s All Falling Apart

On today’s episode of The Joey Hudson Show, we dive headfirst into one of the wildest 48-hour news cycles in recent memory. From Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s public feud to activist judges blocking deportations and halting job creation in South Carolina, this episode pulls no punches.

TOP STORY: Trump and Musk Go Nuclear
What started as a political bromance has exploded into all-out war. Elon Musk, former head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is now calling the president’s landmark tax-and-spending bill a “disgusting abomination.” And it didn’t stop there — Musk accused Trump of being listed in the Epstein files, triggering panic across political and financial circles.

The backlash was immediate. Tesla stock tanked. SpaceX contracts were threatened. Trump fired back with promises to end all federal subsidies for Musk’s companies. What happens when two of the most powerful men in America clash in public? Tune in to find out.

BLOCK 2: Judges Overruling Immigration Policy – Again
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to return a deported Guatemalan national to the U.S. after claiming he was sent away “in error.” That’s right — the administration is now being forced to fly migrants back into the country after removal. Judicial activism is reaching a boiling point, and we break down what this means for ICE, the courts, and our national sovereignty.

BLOCK 3: Economic Fallout Hits South Carolina
As if things weren’t chaotic enough, a major battery cell manufacturer has paused its $1.6 billion project in South Carolina’s Pee Dee region, stalling over 1,600 promised jobs. Why? Policy instability and confusion in D.C. about electric vehicle mandates and tax credits. This isn’t just bad news — it’s a warning sign. We unpack how the national debate over EV incentives and spending cuts is impacting real families and real jobs in our state.

BLOCK 4: Listeners Weigh In on the Trump-Musk Blowup
The Firmin Ford Text Line lit up, and you had plenty to say. Is this feud real or strategic theater? Is the media stirring the pot? And who’s right about the spending bill — Trump, Musk, or neither? Hear your fellow Americans speak their mind, and Joey responds to every angle.

“Deportation Drama, Judicial Power Plays, and a Major Political Defection” (Ep 448)

Just the Truth

“Deportation Drama, Judicial Power Plays, and a Major Political Defection”

On today’s episode of Joey Hudson's Just the Truth, we tackle the stories they don’t want you to hear — the ones that shine a light on judicial overreach, administrative chaos, and political hypocrisy. From courtroom bombshells to border crackdowns, we break it all down with clarity and common sense.

Top Story: Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Deportation of Boulder Attack Suspect’s Family
Yes, you heard that right. A federal judge just stopped the deportation of the wife and five children of Mohamed Soliman — the man accused of firebombing a peaceful pro-Israel protest in Boulder. Despite visa violations and an active DHS investigation into the family’s possible ties to the attack, Judge Nina Wang says deportation would cause “irreparable harm.”
What about the victims? What about national security? We’ll unpack why this ruling isn’t just controversial — it’s dangerous. And if you think this story ends there, think again.

Second Story: Judge Boasberg Targets Trump Administration Over El Salvador Deportations
Chief Judge James Boasberg — yes, the same one who blocked earlier removals — just ruled that over 100 migrants deported to El Salvador must be given a chance to challenge their removal. Many were accused of being linked to the deadly Tren de Aragua gang, yet Boasberg argues there’s not enough evidence and says they were denied due process.
This isn’t a legal fight anymore — it’s a showdown over who really runs immigration: the president or the bench.

Third Story: Karine Jean-Pierre Abandons the Democrats
Former Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has stunned the political world by leaving the Democrat Party. That’s right — she’s now an independent and says the “betrayal” of Biden by his own party was too much. Her new book, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House”, drops this fall, and from what we’re hearing… it pulls no punches.
We’ll cover the fallout, why she says she was “targeted” by her own, and what this defection means heading into 2026.

Fourth Story: Trump’s New Travel Ban and the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Fight
President Trump is locking down U.S. borders with a sweeping executive order banning travel from nearly 20 countries with ties to terrorism, visa abuse, and intelligence gaps. Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia — all on the list.
Plus, we’ve got the latest on the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — the MAGA megabill aimed at slashing spending, ending welfare fraud, and ramping up deportations. Critics are screaming “betrayal,” but we’re asking: if not now, when?
