## Resource

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson A California Democrat is making headlines after comments that have sparked backlash from both sides of the political aisle. Former Congresswoman Katie Porter, now running for governor in California, is under fire after saying illegal immigration is driving population growth in the state — a point Republicans have argued for years. We break down the reaction and what it could mean in an already crowded gubernatorial race. Meanwhile, a disturbing story out of Washington — where authorities say a driver chased a young boy riding a dirt bike onto a sidewalk and allegedly attempted to run him down before later trying to enter a stranger’s home. Despite the alarming accusations, the suspect was reportedly released from jail the very next day. In sports news, Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will not compete for the Triple Crown after trainers announced the horse will take time off to rest following last week’s victory. And here in the Upstate, Alex Saitta joins us with the latest on the growing debate surrounding efforts to “Save” the historic Greenville Pickens Speedway as redevelopment plans continue moving forward near the Greenville-Pickens county line. 🎯 In Today’s Show: Katie Porter backlash over immigration comments Washington driver accused in disturbing chase incident Kentucky Derby winner skips Triple Crown run Greenville Pickens Speedway development debate Interview with Alex Saitta 📩 Join the mailing list: JoeyHudson.com📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-5639 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, and South Carolina-focused coverage. #BreakingNews #KatiePorter #California #Politics #KentuckyDerby #TripleCrown #SouthCarolina #Greenville #Speedway #NewsUpdate #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow
