In this episode of the Red State Update podcast, Jackie and Dunlap yell about :
People Turning Against AI,
Trump
Data Centers &
AI
· GOP internal polls: data centers
as unpopular as nuclear waste
· They’re stickin’ em in rural towns
and black neighborhoods because they thought they could do whatever
they want there
· AI billionaires look crazy
· AI is "for old people" - young people don't like it
Flock license-plate-reading
cameras being used by police to track partners/exes
· Musk visits Memphis, site of his AI Data Center Destruction, and
laughs like a villain about ruining water
America Turns on Trump
- · Trump at 66% disapproval
rate
· BBC, ABC, Kennedy Center lawsuits: the US taxpayers are paying for this mess - · Treasury Department turnover:
people (TRUMP APPOINTEES) jumping ship before they get forced into
doin illegal stuff
· Trump loves Kim Jong Un so much - Immigration &
ICE
· ICE targeting legal immigrants and green card holders, people showing up to immigration appointments, getting off planes
· Trump voter whose wife was taken by ICE at airport: "I didn't know they'd come after me"
President Pete Hegseth and Mrs. President Pete Hegseth - Is Hegseth running for president? How do you win after losing a war?
- Why is his wife so involved in
his job? Attending top-secret meetings, getting on the leaky Signal
chats… she was his producer at Fox News so he probably don’t know
how to do nothing without her. So whose idea is it to fire all the
black folks and women from the military? The anti-trans slurs? The
testosterone? Also, what does Hegseth’s woman-hating preacher
think?
Natalie Harp - Jon Ossoff gave Natalie Harp the spotlight this week. Before this I just knew her as the woman who prints out racist memes for Trump to Truth in the middle of the night. Did not know that she:
- Wrote fan letters to George W. Bush (I mean, so did Jackie, but)
- Jumped in the SUV trunk to stay
with Trump (SUVs don’t have trunks but whatever, just pretend)
“with all my heart, Natalie”—nobody ever signed a letter to Trump that way, not his wives, not his children
Plus:
· Desantis bud and Florida official Mike Caruso arrested for gross child abuse
· Todd Blanche confirmed as AG /top pxxophile protector
· Texas Gov. Abbott leaning into Islamophobiamania 2026 -
· but Andy Ogles lost Tennessee race despite anti-Muslim
campaign
· and in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed leading Republican opponent by 9 points
· McCarthy worried about midterms, says GOP "doesn't have a message"
· Ballroom – will the Supreme Court let Trump keep buildin’?
· USS Abraham Lincoln conditions are horrifyin and typical for this administration
· Inflation, healthcare, Dracula Dead and Loving It

For 20 years, Jackie Broyles and Dunlap have been yelling about politics from a bunker underneath Jackie's Market (now closed) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. They are former conservatives who couldn't understand why the South would vote for Donald Trump, a loudmouth yankee and the living opposite of Andy Griffith. Now they are leftie liberal TDS-infected snowflakes and madder than ever.
Thank you kindly for looking at us on the computer.
