Minnesota Speaker Murder, LA Riots, Padilla Arrest Fallout, Protest Violence Rising (Ep 457) Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

Just the Truth

🔥 First, the shocking political assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. We break down the chilling timeline, the killer’s manifesto-style texts, and the FBI’s warning about politically motivated violence. This is one of the most brazen attacks on U.S. lawmakers in modern history—and it’s not getting the coverage it deserves.

💥 Meanwhile, chaos continues in Los Angeles, where anti-ICE riots have escalated into full-blown violence. Protesters are setting fires, assaulting federal agents, and waving foreign flags in the streets. President Trump’s National Guard deployment has brought temporary order—but Democrat leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass blame Trump, not the rioters. We examine this madness and the DOJ’s response.

✊ On Capitol Hill, over 200 House and Senate Democrats are throwing a fit over Senator Alex Padilla’s arrest after he disrupted a Homeland Security press event. Was it a “separation of powers” issue or a planned stunt? Joey explains what really happened—and why the outrage is more distraction than democracy.

⚠️ South Carolina GOP Chair Drew McKissick joins us to discuss the party’s response to Rep. RJ May’s child porn indictment and the political fallout in Columbia.

🧠 Plus: A disturbing new trend—growing support for political violence among Gen Z protesters. We bring you unfiltered quotes from the D.C. “No Kings” march, where attendees justify rioting, looting, and attacking federal officers as “resistance.” This is a deep dive into the mindset of the activist Left—and what it means for the future of civil order.

Dem Senator detained; Newsom questions Trump's "mental fitness" (Ep 454) Jun 13, 2025

Show notes

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!!!
