The Scott Jennings Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

On Tuesday night VP candidate  Senator JD Vance looked poised, prepared and articulate. His opponent, Governor Walz looked, well, the opposite. He looked flustered, a little over-prepared perhaps and stumbled through most of the night. But the two also engaged in plenty of substantive policy exchanges, shared commonalities and sympathies for each other, giving viewers a very cordial two hours. So, will it matter? On today's Flyover Country the full crew returns to recap the night and forecast what, if any, impact it may have. Listen now!

Folks, we got us a race. With every new poll, it seems the race from President gets tighter and tighter. Every key swing state is just single digits away for each candidates. Ties are abundant in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, the Sun Belt and many blue wall states. Razor thin margins keep the two candidates apart. So, who is running the best campaign right now? This week, Harris sat down with MSNBC for another interview - while Biden joined the View. Trump continues to hold rallies, while Walz and Vance prep for next week's debate. We discuss it all on today's Flyover Country - join us! 

Night 3 of the DNC was perhaps the most tame night so far. Despite some celebrities taking the stage - the speaker list lacked some energy turning the night into a bit of a snooze fest. Bill Clinton, Tim Walz, Josh Shapiro and more filled the night with plenty of talk about vibes and joy, but not much substance. So, is a good feeling enough to carry the party? On today's podcast we recap night 3 and look forward to the final night as Kamala Harris takes the stage for the biggest speech of her career. Tune in! 

It was a rocking night 2 of the DNC as some premier speakers took the stage - headline by the Obamas and Doug Emhoff. While Bernie Sanders was decrying billionaires, only to be followed up by a literal billionaire - last night's speakers played plenty of hits for Democrats, with some strong calls to action and hope. But perhaps none of it was as memorable as Lil Jon performing 'Turn Down for What' to hype the crowd. We discuss it all on today's Flyover Country - join us!

Live from Chicago and fresh off the CNN set, Scott Jennings joins us to breakdown everything he saw from Day 1 of the DNC. With some powerful speeches from Senator Warnock, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and Governor Beshear - the Democrat kicked things off with a pretty good show on night 1. But perhaps all of it was overshadowed by the man pushed into the late night slot, speaking long after many folks went to bed - President Biden. On today's podcast we've got all our reactions to the big speeches and the interesting scheduling. Join us all week long for coverage of the DNC! 

There is perhaps no issue that Senator Mitch McConnell takes more seriously than defending American exceptionalism - and a part of that means defending America's role in the world. Yet today, members within his own party wish to abandon America's role in the world stage and instead embrace a more isolationist role. In speaking with our own Scott Jennings last week, Senator McConnell outlined why we must never abandon our critically important global role and embrace America's greatness. 

My, oh, my - what a month it has been. Not long ago, it seemed Donald Trump had taken a grip on the Presidential race, primed to be re-elected in a few months. But, since the Democrats kicked Biden out, it has all changed. After a few weeks of fluff pieces, positive media coverage and roaring rallies, Kamala Harris has the Democrats storming back. Now, it is all on Trump's shoulders. Can he define Harris as a radical and stay on message? Or will he find himself stuck off script, hurting his own cause. Buckle up, folks, we are in for a wild few months. 

It's been just a week and a half since Joe Biden dropped out and passed the torch to Kamala Harris, and her campaign seems to be...rolling? New polling suggest Kamala has given Democrats the bump they need to make this race competitive again, putting plenty of swing states back in play. But will it be enough or will the poor ratings of Biden/Harris presidency drag her down? And can a VP pick make the difference? On this week's Flyover Country we dive into the new strategies from the Harris team, some new ads from Trump and Harris and do some recalibrating as the new matchup comes into view. Join us!

Well - what a week it has been! In a stunning change of heart, on Sunday, President Biden announced his candidacy for a second term was done and he'd be backing his own VP Harris as the next President. In the days that followed, things moved quickly, with delegates throwing their support behind the VP - seemingly avoiding an open convention. Now, with a new candidate for the Democrats, Trump must pivot his attacks, while Harris finds her footing. Tune in this week as we discuss everything from this historical week!
