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!

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.

In this episode of the Red State Update podcast, Jackie and Dunlap yell about:

Hegseth and Trump talk at all the generals: No beardos, no fat soldiers, US cities will be training grounds for troops, the "enemy within." They want to kick everyone out who isn't male, white, straight, and willing to treat Hegseth like an actual serious person and not an embarrassing joke.

Troops in Portland, Chicago, Memphis. Stephen Miller unleashes unleashed Memphis cops.

Government shutdown: Republicans claim Democrats want to give your money to illegal immigrant healthcare. Meanwhile, insurance rates will skyrocket and the number of insured will plummet. Trump and Vought admit that Project 2025 is in full effect, as Trump plans to shutter "Democrat" parts of government, fire workers, and pull funding for Democrat cities and states. Rural hospitals and health care in danger of going away.

Farmer bailout, soybeans, Argentina, China. FBI fires knee-takers. Johnson won't swear in Arlita Grijalva to prevent an Epstein files release vote.
