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.
