THIS WEEK ON THE RED STATE UPDATE PODCAST:

Jackie & Dunlap return to break down another week of American political awfulness—Trump's racist outbursts against Somali folks; "Speak English, neighbor!" says JD Vance; and the fallout from Trump's trade wars hitting farmers (again).

They also dig into the Tennessee special election that unexpectedly turned a deep-red district purple, the Supreme Court opening the door for Trump to purge independent agencies, and Pete Hegseth bragging about blowing people up like a Cannon movie villain.

Along the way: clickbait-rage farms, fake Trump "peace prizes," and whether America has officially monetized every last emotion we have left.

• Trump's latest racist rhetoric toward Somali immigrants Explicit statements about not wanting Somalis in America, and how Trump uses racism to distract from elite corruption and pardons.
• • JD Vance's comments about not wanting neighbors who "don't speak the same language" Just more coded racism. Is this even coded? •
• Fox-driven "Somali fraud" narratives in Minnesota How Tim Walz gets dragged into right-wing misinformation loops and why these stories spread. •
• Farmers hit again by Trump's trade chaos $12 billion in bailouts framed as "bridge money," with U.S. soybean markets permanently shifting to Argentina, Canada, and China. •
• Tennessee special election shifts purple Aftyn Behn narrows margins dramatically; GOP forced to pour money into a "safe" seat as Trump drags the party in expensive directions. •
• Trump receives a made-up 'peace prize' from shady soccer officials A look at his obsession with awards and manufactured victories. •
• Supreme Court poised to let Trump fire independent agency heads Symbolic culture-war gestures often accompany structural power grabs. •
• Pete Hegseth brags on-air about "blowing up boats" He thinks he's a war-hero movie but he's the obnoxious side-character who gets everyone killed.

Jackie and Dunlap have Christmas music galore for you!

Jackie and Dunlap on Hegseth, Honduras, Mark Kelly, Kash Patel, dressing up for planes is stupid, blowing up boats is war crimes, Laura Loomer, Sean Duffy, Elon Musk is ruining Tennessee, Afghanistan, Venezuela, autopen, Joe Biden, Trump's MRI, who's the dumbest member of Trump's cabinet.

Plus: The TN-7 election is today (Tuesday December 2) so you may know who won by the time you hear this. Aftyn Behn or Matt Van Epps? We give 'em one last go over. (We're for her.)

Also: Is it okay to hate country music and Nashville? Some parts of 'em it is!

Plus: Jackie weighs in on the AI country music hit "Walk My Walk" by Breaking Rust.

This was recorded November 19, 2025, but we're just now puttin' it up! You could either call it a bonus episode or just a real late one.

Jackie and Dunlap are back together again in separate locations.

Democrat Aftyn Behn has a real shot at beating Republican Matt Van Epps for Congress in the Tennessee 7th District Special Election! Early voting has ended but Election Day is TUESDAY DECEMBER 2! It would really piss a lot of the right people off if you voted for her.

Also in this episode: Epstein and Trump, of course.

Hope y'all had a good Thanksgiving! New episode coming later this week.
