 “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?

Conflict between Musk and Trump? Accused Boulder attacker's family taken into custody (Ep 447)

Just the Truth

The Divide Widens: Musk Slams Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ & More Breaking Headlines

On today’s explosive episode of Just the Truth, we dive into the growing rift between Elon Musk and President Trump. Just days after stepping down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk torched Trump’s flagship tax and spending package, calling it a “disgusting abomination.” Why is the former DOGE czar turning on the man who appointed him? What’s in this controversial GOP-backed bill that sparked Musk’s outrage? We unpack every angle—budget impacts, political fallout, and what the White House is doing to sell this massive piece of legislation to the public.

In fact, the administration just launched a brand-new website to calculate how much the “big beautiful bill” could save you in taxes—assuming it passes. I’ll tell you exactly where to find the tool and how to use it.

But that’s just Block 1.

In Block 2, we’re also covering the MSNBC shake-up. Joy Reid suggests race and political pressure played a role in her firing, accusing networks of buckling under “Trump anxiety.” Is she right? Or is this just more spin from a collapsing legacy media?

In Block 3, shocking immigration enforcement news: the family of the Colorado man accused of firebombing peaceful protestors is now in federal custody, their visas revoked. What did they know? DHS and ICE are investigating, and we’ve got the latest.

Also: Rep. Maxine Waters’ campaign is hit with a $68,000 fine for federal election violations. Underreported? Absolutely. We’ll tell you what the mainstream media won’t.

In Block 4, we break down the “autopen scandal” rocking the Biden administration. A new report claims that President Biden may not have personally signed dozens of executive orders and pardons—including for his own son and key political allies. Is this forgery? Abuse of power? The DOJ is investigating, and we have details straight from the Oversight Project’s latest findings.

Plus, we’ll discuss Sen. John Kennedy’s fiery exchange with law professor Kate Shaw after she was caught on tape calling Supreme Court justices “evil.” Her response? You’ll want to hear it for yourself.
