Trump: ‘We’re Screwed’ If SCOTUS Kills Tariffs | Violence Erupts in Minneapolis (Ep 634) Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

President Trump is sounding the alarm as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule — possibly as early as this week — on whether his emergency tariff authority is constitutional. Trump warns that if the Court rules against the administration, the U.S. could be forced to repay hundreds of billions of dollars, triggering economic chaos and unraveling key trade leverage.

In today’s show, we break down what’s at stake in the looming Supreme Court decision, how tariff revenue factors into Trump’s economic strategy, and why even some Republicans are raising concerns about inflation and refunds if the tariffs are struck down.

We also cover a growing legal and political feud after Senator Mark Kelly sues the Department of Defense and War Secretary Pete Hegseth over disciplinary action tied to Kelly’s public call for service members to refuse “illegal orders.”

Meanwhile, chaos continues in Minneapolis. Conservative journalist Nick Sortor says his vehicle was surrounded by anti-ICE protesters, windows smashed, and his escape blocked as tensions boil over in the city following recent immigration enforcement actions.

Plus — South Carolina lawmakers return to Columbia this week. State Rep. John McCravy joins us with a preview of legislative priorities, infrastructure reform, budget pressures, growth management, and what Republicans are focusing on heading into an election-year session.

This episode covers:
• Supreme Court tariff ruling and economic fallout
• Trump’s warning on repayment and inflation
• Sen. Mark Kelly vs. the Pentagon
• Protest violence and media double standards in Minneapolis
• South Carolina legislative priorities for 2026

DHS Releases Chilling Video: What Really Happened Before the ICE Shooting? (Ep 633) Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

New video released by the Department of Homeland Security is changing the conversation surrounding the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis — and raising serious questions about what led up to the confrontation.

In today’s show, we break down newly released DHS footage showing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents being stalked, blocked, and disrupted for several minutes before the deadly encounter involving Renee Nicole Good. The video contradicts early media narratives and sheds new light on the escalating tensions surrounding federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota.

We also examine how the Trump administration is pushing back against legacy media coverage, announcing the arrest of hundreds of violent criminal illegal aliens in what officials call the largest immigration enforcement operation ever conducted in Minneapolis. ICE confirms those arrested include individuals convicted of murder, rape, sodomy, and crimes against children.

Plus — we turn overseas to Iran, where human rights organizations warn more than 500 people have been slaughtered by the regime amid a nationwide anti-government uprising. Former military leaders are calling the crackdown a state-sponsored massacre as arrests and executions accelerate.

This episode looks at:
• New DHS video evidence from Minneapolis
• ICE enforcement escalation and violent criminal arrests
• Media credibility and narrative shaping
• Federal vs. local authority on immigration
• Iran’s brutal crackdown on protesters

WEEKEND: Transcontinental Rails & Local Jobs: The Norfolk Southern–Union Pacific Merger (Ep 632) Jan 10, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Join Joey Hudson for a special weekend edition of Just The Truth featuring two in-depth interviews and timely updates. T

Former Spartanburg County councilman Justin Bradley explains a proposed merger between Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific that could create America’s first true end-to-end transcontinental rail line. Bradley discusses how improved rail service would benefit South Carolina manufacturers, lower freight costs for key materials like soda ash, reduce truck traffic on strained roads, and bring potential job growth to the upstate.

The episode also outlines the federal review process by the Surface Transportation Board, safety and competition considerations, and how rail modernization could support economic development in Spartanburg and beyond.

Later, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette responds to recent unrest in Minneapolis, emphasizes support for law enforcement, and calls for stronger oversight to prevent fraud—highlighting recent childcare fraud investigations. Evette, who is running for governor, also reviews South Carolina priorities: investments in roads and bridges, energy reliability, universal school choice, tort reform, and efforts to stabilize the insurance market and consider closing primaries.

New Info on ICE Agent Revealed..It Changes Everything!!! (Ep 631) Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has ignited protests, political outrage, and dangerous rhetoric from Democratic leaders — and the facts are getting buried beneath emotion.

In today’s show, we break down what actually happened when an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during an immigration enforcement operation — including newly surfaced details about the agent, his prior near-death encounter on the job, and why DHS says the shooting was self-defense.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says it’s now a “patriotic duty” to protest the Trump administration. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey tells ICE to “get the f— out” of his city. And progressive leaders across the country rush to label the incident “murder” before investigations are complete.

We also look at:

How inflammatory political rhetoric is escalating street-level violence
Why ICE agents say cars are increasingly being used as weapons
The growing divide between federal law enforcement and sanctuary city leadership
The removal of a Minnesota Hampton Inn from federal lodging programs after refusing ICE agents
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial housing advisor and her past statements on homeownership and private property

This episode asks the hard questions:
Who’s responsible when leadership fuels chaos?
Do federal laws still apply everywhere — or only where politicians allow them?
And how much danger are law enforcement officers being forced to absorb in today’s political climate?

ICE Shooting Sparks Chaos in Minneapolis as Democrats Call It “Murder” (Ep 630) Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

A deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has ignited protests, political outrage, and a national debate over immigration enforcement, leadership, and the rule of law.

A woman was fatally shot after allegedly attempting to ram an ICE agent during a federal operation. According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the agent feared for his life and fired in self-defense. The agent was treated at a local hospital and released.

But instead of urging calm, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called protests against the Trump administration a “patriotic duty,” even as demonstrations turned violent — including courthouse vandalism and the burning of American flags.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey escalated tensions further, telling federal immigration authorities to “get the hell out” of his city, dismissing the federal government’s explanation before investigations were complete.

Meanwhile in New York City, newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani weighed in, calling the shooting “murder,” while controversy continues to swirl around his housing advisor Cea Weaver, whose past statements attacking homeownership and private property have resurfaced — alongside revelations about her family’s own wealth.

This episode breaks down:
• What actually happened in Minneapolis
• Why political rhetoric is inflaming violence
• How city leaders are openly defying federal law enforcement
• The growing ideological divide shaping America’s major cities

Venezuela in Chaos After Trump Operation | Minnesota Dems Panic Over Fraud| Hilton Refuses ICE (Ep 628) Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Today's show covers a rapid-fire lineup of breaking national and international developments with major political consequences.

We begin with the fallout from President Trump’s stunning operation in Venezuela, as the former socialist strongman is now in U.S. custody and the interim regime back home declares a state of emergency — ordering arrests of anyone accused of supporting the U.S. action. Is this the beginning of the end for Venezuela’s failed socialist experiment?

Back here at home, Minnesota Democrats are in full damage-control mode as a massive fraud scandal continues to widen. With the governor stepping aside, party insiders are urging a top U.S. senator to run for governor — all while federal investigators uncover billions in alleged welfare, childcare, and Medicaid fraud.

Then, a story that has ignited national outrage: a Hilton-branded hotel in Minnesota allegedly canceled reservations for federal immigration agents — not because of availability, but because of who they work for. Is corporate America now deciding which laws get enforced?

Plus:
• A U.S. senator facing potential military demotion over a controversial video
• New questions about federal entitlement fraud and weak oversight
• The growing political consequences of ideology colliding with law enforcement

This is a fast-moving, accountability-focused breakdown of the stories the mainstream media is either missing — or avoiding.

Socialism Falls Again: Maduro Arrested, U.S. Takes Control (Ep 627) Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Venezuela explodes back onto the world stage after U.S. forces arrested socialist strongman Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a dramatic operation that’s drawing praise, outrage, and global attention. In today’s show, we break down President Trump’s blunt message to Venezuela: law and order comes before elections — and why the White House says this isn’t nation-building, it’s stabilization.

We examine Trump’s foreign policy doctrine, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s tense exchange with ABC’s This Week, and why Democrats and the global left are panicking over America’s new posture in Latin America. Plus, newly elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America are openly demanding Maduro’s release — putting him on a political collision course with President Trump.

Also in today’s episode:
• Joe Biden’s massive taxpayer-funded retirement windfall — why he’s making more in retirement than he did as president
• Elon Musk and President Trump reunited at Mar-a-Lago — is the bromance back?
• Starlink announces free internet for Venezuela following Maduro’s capture
• Why critics say socialism once again ends in collapse — and why Venezuela may now be at a crossroads

This is a must-watch breakdown of power, politics, socialism, and accountability — with real consequences for America, energy markets, national security, and the future of U.S. foreign policy.
