On this episode of the Red State Update podcast, Jackie Broyles and Dunlap are mad about: We had a whole-ass press secretary come and go since our last episode. Is Trump mad at Susie Wiles? Is Hannity mad at Katie Zacharia? How does Natalie Harp feel? Has anyone even considered poor Natalie Harp? Trump abandons Ukraine Deals with Putin, Musk shuttin' off StarLink, sanctions lifted off Russia. Who would have believed they'd show such disrespect for the Lindsey Graham Act! Did MAGA bot bullhockey go down on the internet after Zelensky hit a Russian/Musk data center? Leo's cancer diagnosis He's on the phone with Putin from his hospital bed. Mitch McConnell could never. Trump's ballroom donors leaked All the crooked people with their crooked deals, contributions, pardons Trump's arch — Where are the snipers supposed to sit! Trump tries to deport and denaturalize Ilhan Omar using some denaturalization rules they ain't used since we were gettin' rid of Nazis. Is strippin political enemies of their citizenship a good direction for America? Kimberly Guilfoyle fired. How corrupt must all the other ambassadors be! We just exported Trump corruption around the world. It's like Batman Inc. but much worse and not written by Grant Morrison. Trump loves to fire women! I mean, I would love to fire these women too, but I would try to mix it up with some of the men who need their ass fired. PLUS: Woman in "Release the Files" shirt attacked at Trump rally, Danny Trejo and Harvey Keitel in a pro-ICE movie produced by Ben Shapiro, healthcare gonna get even worse and more expensive as the Big Beautiful Bill kicks in, ICE still ICEin', Stephen Miller afraid of prison? ALSO: Marsha Blackburn is not like us, kills my vibe The North remembers Canada holds grudges, just ask Coke or Netflix's giant squid movie Below. Trump's $5,000 horsemess He still bringin this up like he really gonna do it, then calls the Georgia rally crowd poor, and everyone has a good laugh. How the hell much is a Mar-a-Lago burger? KFC dropping Pepsi WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MOUNTAIN DEW SWEET LIGHTNING   Jackie Broyles and Dunlap have been yelling about the news from a bunker underneath Jackie's Market (now closed) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, since 2005. They used to be conservative, but could never figure out how Trump could get Southerners to vote for a loudmoth know-it-all Yankee, the opposite of Andy Griffith.

In this episode of Red State Update, Jackie and Dunlap yell about:  You a senior citizen facing tripled Medicare Part B premiums? Here's 90 bucks. Now go away, pappy, ya bother me. Are we supposed to like Hunter Biden still? Trump's corruption continues. There's no international crisis Jared Kushner's can't make worse/make money off of. Want to relive the Senate hearing dumbass show? Neither did we, but we all have jobs to do here. Republican from Missouri and possible JD Vance VP pick (saying all that out loud makes me laugh/puke nonstop) Eric Schmitt attempted to sully Jack Smith's almost-forgotten-by-Dunlap name by listing all the professional sports teams named after birds? Then Amy Klobuchar figured it out, Murder She Wrote style. Also, can we please stop havin' Senate hearings?  Boy, this Pete Hegseth fella, he's sure a handful! We talk about his purge of career military personnel, especially Black and women folks, but mostly anyone who stands up to him. Plus the "Stolen Valor" of tech executives, and why the heck is Newt Gingrich and Elon Musk and a hackeysack guy doing the Future of War with this Project Meridian horse hockey? They been deleting the truth about how bad ICE detention centers are and the deaths they lead to. Tennessee can't even k*** people right. Christa Pike's screwed-up execution after another recent screwed-up execution: Are we just payin to keep her alive so we can k### her again? There has to be a cheaper way to be dumb. Plus: Cooter, Trump's chatbot, Coors, Budweiser, Smokey and the Bandit.

Flying the Furry Skies, ChampAIgne Is Flowing, & Guest Allie Wheelz On this episode of Red State Update, Jackie and Dunlap welcome Allie Wheelz to talk about her months-long fight for home care, the Olmstead Act, and what it's like to have to constantly prove you're disabled. Plus: Tommy Tuberville's furry-pilot panic, gas prices, the Iran war, ICE, and a helluva long list of Republican problems heading into the midterms, President Xi's red-carpet get-your-ass-kissed-by-Trump visit, and a Halloween warning about chupacabras.  Look at all this mess: America's dumbest Tommy, Tommy Tuberville, worries about furries flyin planes. Hilarious! And then he talks about forced institutionalization for trans folks. Not so funny anymore! Republicans have to run on fear since they can't run on gas prices, inlation, Iran, anything real, so they got to make stuff up to scare us. ICE and Stephen Miller: shootings, citizens killed, legal residents rounded up, all cause of this one gross sick dude. The real freaks and weirdos and pervs are in the Oval Office, not behind the beverage cart. Ranchers and farmers struggling because workers are too afraid to show up. The state of health care sucks: Medicaid and health care cuts coming after the midterms. Women dying under abortion bans in red states. Americans battle high prices and financial pressure and job insecurity due to AI while Dan Scavino posts an AI ad of White House Buddies rollin' around sprayin' champagne over the goldest room there is. Hegseth and the Pentagon hiding casualty and injury numbers of service members from the Iran War. Crazy numbers of attempted su**ide. How is Pete Hegseth still in charge? Bo French, Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate, is so racist he got mad at a photo of a University of Texas football crowd. If you're so racist you're mad at football, you're too racist. Trump's net worth is reportedly around $7 billion, triple what it was two years ago. His gross family is cashing in too. One of many Trump corrupt schemes? Pay-for-pardons! The DOJ took down the list of Trump's pardons. Maybe they're afraid people are starting to pay attention? If AI takes your job, maybe you can get into the burgeoning pardon broke field. Major League Baseball wants to build a stadium in Grand Teton National Park. This is something nobody wants except rich people. Maybe you could get away with this horse hockey when gas wasn't six bucks. Tax-payer money paying for ads praising Trump. He ain't even running! Imagine if Obabma put up an add with Love Me Love Me in the background. Jackie wants to take his taxes and make his own anti-Trump ads. Ain't we already doin that every week for free? Facebook MAGA meme accounts claim oil companies are keeping gas prices high to sabotage Trump before the midterms. Yes, Trump's famous arch-enemies the oil companies. Trump is rolling back all the Biden-era fuel regulations and going after electric cars! Interview: Allie Wheelz Ali is a disability advocate and content creator who joins Jackie and Dunlap to talk about her personal battles against care-cutting algorithms and out-of-touch committees of money-grubbing ghouls rushing to make budget cuts against the most vulnerable. She also describes the coming cataclysmic Olmstead Act changes, and how Texas is already leading the anti-autonomy charge. Plus Project 2025, growing up disabled before the ADA, constantly proving your disability before your funding is cut off, and bee tattoos. Tell your caregivers, paid or unpaid, that you appreciate them. Vote by candidates' records on supporting the elderly, disabled, and mentally ill.

  Kash Loves Animals, Trump Loves AI, Truckers Hate Trump plus Arch Drones & Trump to destroy NIH, Kennedy Center, the News On this episode of the Red State Update podcast, Jackie and Dunlap holler about: Kash Patel lowers the standards of the FBI, but raises Google searches for word "b**tiality" Trump bans CNN, MSNow, Politico from White House Truckers and farmers mad at Trump, hopefully. Welcome to the resistance, truckers and farmers! Trump seizing control of National Institutes of Health funding. Money only goes where it aligns with administration policy. The policy is "RFK Jr.'s first draft folder but more Bibley" Healthcare costs rising, premiums tripling, millions losing coverage, insurance companies makin that money. Trump really gonna tear that Kennedy Center down unless he gets his name on it. At least he's finally being honest about something. Heat Dome! Climate Change! Al Gore's fault? Possibly. Go on Red State Update, Al Gore! Arch Drones – Trump's Triumphal Trumphal Arch to have snipers, attack drones, sounds like something a five-year old would come up with, if five-year olds like gaudy architecture. Trummp broke America. He took all the good stuff and sucked all the good out of it. New poll has Trump underwater in Tennessee, finally. Marsha Blackburn probably still fine. JD Vance Wants Another Chance – our new YA novel that nobody would ever read Diesel prices, Iran War, Canada still standing up to Trump Ohio Senate candidate John Husted says poor people "aren't good at navigating the real world" and don't understand money. John Husted isn't good at running for office and don't understand poor people. Trump doublin down on AI as its popularity craters. Expect a Truth with a link to an Ed Sheeran playlist any minute. Trump wants to rename AI and wants your input:  Super Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, Supreme Intelligence. What about "Water-guzzling Kook-run Ponzi Scheme?"  Somebody call AI Force! Pete Hegseth's "Send Me" tour in Texas. Quoting the Bible to Marines, running stairs, pushing Christian nationalist military messaging. Nobody likes him or the Iran War, but Trump won't fire him because they both love fat jokes. That's his boy!

Re-uploaded the file to fix some audio issues (we hope.) Thank you kindly!  Welcome to the Red State Update podcast for September 14, 2026. This week, Jackie and Dunlap yell about: At the weird RNC Trumptime convention, Trump says he wants to bribe you with $5000 of socialism money to keep Republicans in power in the midterms. Nobody ain't getting that money. Remember all the other money we're supposed to get? Jackie does. Big businesses got tariff refunds, Todd Blanche is making sure the January 6thers get their billion dollar payout, but healthcare, SNAP, food for hungry kids – no money for none of that. Republicans are tired of being called racists but not tired of being racists. Canada is friends with the EU now, and blocked America and deleted all their pics together. Would you pay $35,000 for a picture with JD Vance? Kansas GOP Senator and former OB-GYN Roger Marshall sued 700 people for debts and arrested folks for bills as low as a hundred bucks. Also why do so many Republican politicians live in Florida and not the states they represent?  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdL8dMtFQfh/?stkn=ZW54d3RwaWJheWFn Nebraska using computer algorithms to kick disabled people off Medicaid. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdL8dMtFQfh/?stkn=ZW54d3RwaWJheWFn Trump's own inspector general said Aligator Alcatraz's  facility's "calming cages" were inhumane. https://newrepublic.com/post/215398/ice-locked-people-cages-size-phone-booths-alligator-alcatraz Mark Wayne Mullin don't care if they have a criminal history or not. Is he talking about the immigrants he wants to lock up or the ICE agents he wants to hire? Tune in to find out!  Is AI gonna destroy the world, save the world, destroy the world and then save it, destroy the world and then Chinese AI will destroy it again, or just sorta help out with emails and spreadsheets? AI companies want to pump the brakes (WHAT'S IN THIS FOR THEM!), Trump says only a smart president can save us, and a bunch of freaky-lookin billionaires are tryin to force all of us to get on board with whatever bull hockey they're sellin. Data centers are destroying farms, small communities, Black communities. People are mad. I guess they're forgetting our smart president who will save us all. Or destroy us all. One or the other.  The Big Beautiful Bill to yank $1 trillion from Medicare. Republicans are gonna suffer too, and it's hitting soon. It's gonna be a rough winter.  Sex-offender pastor leads a prayer at a North Carolina GOP rally for Senate candidate Michael Whatley, where Dr. Oz also spoke.   James Tallarico, Ken Paxton, Ted Cruz Mitch McConnell is back!

Who's responsible for the death of young Haitian immigrant Pierre Damas Bel? The Supreme Court? Stephen Miller? Trump? ICE? All of us? Yeah, take your pick. Trump's war on mail-in voting, a USPS whistleblower, and the outlook for the midterm elections People are over Pete Hegseth, including his generals, enlisted folks, senators. Will anybody do anything? Haha naw. We'll just keep letting him testosterone everybody, blow up boats, mess up Iran. Is it the end times? Let's ask J.D. Vance. Laura Loomer managed to racist her way into the headlines again Fox ain't got Maria Bartiromo to kick around no more. And by kick I mean stop from sendin' Trump internal memos tellin' Fox anchors to shut up about the stolen election bull hockey because it cost them a billion bucks. DOGE was great at wastin' money, hirin' people named Big Balls Healthcare costst are skyrocketing, farmers are in a bad way, and the deficit is higher than our brains can conceive of It's Labor Day!

ABC / Rosie / FCC — ABC is airing Rosie O'Donnell and suing Trump's FCC after previously kissin trump ass Secret Service is reportedly alarmed by Natalie Harp's letters. Trump will tear down the Kennedy Center if they don't put his name on it. Michael Cohen: still terrible Our health and what's left of it: RURAL Michigan hospitals closing or cutting services after Medicaid cuts. o   Measles — U.S. measles cases are at their highest level since 1991, with two deaths reported. RFK Jr. is tied to conspiracy-tinged comments about measles deaths. Byron Donalds blames spread on illegal immigration. ICE arrests — ICE arrests surged—they're arrestin people with no criminal convictions to make their dumb damn quotas.   More folks in immigrant camps  than ATL population Deaf migrants — Deaf migrants deported without sign-language interpreters A mile of border infrastructure in Big Bend reportedly costs more than the park's annual budget. Asylum visas — Administration actions include revoking visas for asylum seekers. Texas / Musk / Paxton — Elon Musk reportedly plans to spend $200 million to help Ken Paxton in Texas.

Sean Duffy show — nobody watchin this youtube crap. Finally something I identify with Sean Duffy about Spider-Man vs. Jake Lang in Minnesota. Jeffries / Kushner get together. These are the only two people left who will get along now that Dolly is gone. Trump approval — Trump approval stands at 35%, disapproval at 61%, net -26. That's real bad and yet should be worse. Darlene Graham, IRAN vs Economic D-Day, Mad Farmers Kehinde Wiley painting: State Dept takes down a painting of Dominicans in the Dominican embassy by the artist of Obama's presidential portrait. They called the paining "very woke" and "aesthetically terrifying." They took it down but first they hid it behind a tarp with a US flag on it. Leah Campos, Rachel Campos-Duffy's sister and Sean Duffy's sis-in-law, is the U.S. ambassador to the Dominican Republic, called it an example of "globalist and woke ideologies."  What is woke ideology?
