Trump To Not Give Us $5000, AI To Destroy World As Marketing Stunt, The Mitch Is Back

Red State Update — 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?   Trump's own inspector general said Aligator Alcatraz's  facility's "calming cages" were inhumane. 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! Tanned, rested and ready! Nearly 200 women have died from ectopic pregnancies 'cause Republicans don't want women controlling their own bodies.  Sitcom characters you never see.
