It's been less than two full months since Donald Trump return to the oval office, but he and his team - led at times by Elon Musk, have been on a war path to cut government waste and bloat. DOGE, the new kid on the block, has uncovered millions in waste, fraud and abuse in just a few short weeks. But the cuts have not come without controversy. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) was frequent among the media in his first term, but this time around its become Elon Derangement Syndrome. On this week's podcast, the crew talks through the DOGE cuts, Elon's influence and plenty more. Join us on Flyover Country with Scott Jennings! 

It has been less than two weeks since the tragic plane crash near DC's airport, which has meant a long, tireless couple of weeks for Todd Inman. A member of the National Transportation Safety Board, Todd was on site of the crash within minutes, a crash site literally just out his window. Now, with concerns about travel safety rising, the NTSB is hard at work on their investigation and recommendations from the incident. In our final interview of the day, Todd walks Scott through the process of investigation and what the public can expect to know about the crash. 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is just a few weeks into his new job, but he's already hit the ground running. With one big foreign trip already under his belt, and the second coming this week, he took some time to hop on Sirius XM's "The Patriot" to talk through it all with Scott Jennings.

From tariffs and trade wars, to Gaza and USAID and plenty more, the Trump team has been flying through its priorities in the first month of the new administration. On today's Flyover Country - we dive into the biggest news of the week, while trying to balance all of the big news Trump is making. He's had some good: cutting waste at USAID, and some bad: tariffs, but there is no slowing down Trump right now. Join us as we discuss it all! 

Donald Trump has only been President again for 5 days - but he has sure packed in a lot in his first week back. Once the formalities of the inauguration wrapped on Monday, the President got right to policy. Signing nearly 200 executive orders, it was clear a new era had begun in Washington. This week on Flyover Country, we talk about the good (and bad) of some of Trump's executive orders, the media reaction and what to expect Trump looks to implement his agenda. Listen now!

Happy New Year! After a short break, the Flyover Country team is back for the new year. With plenty already going on in Congress, we break down what the first few months of success could look like for Republicans - and how to get the Trump agenda moving. With some new characters in the mix (looking at you Elon) the policy making process looks a little different. As well, over the break Scott had plenty of viral moments for us to break down, and the team makes a few predictions for the new year. Join us on Flyover Country with Scott Jennings!

You may have thought that the man who protected a subway car full of people from a career criminal having a psychotic break would be the good guy...and maybe the assassin who murdered a CEO in cold blood would be the bad guy? But not for the crazy leftists. This week on Flyover Country, we talk about the fallout from the Daniel Penny trial and Brian Thompson assassination, as some leftists pick the assassin as their new hero. In politics, Trump heads abroad for events and the House leadership takes shape with Kentucky's own Brett Guthrie securing a big seat. All that and much more this week on Flyover Country!

Welcome back to Flyover Country with Scott Jennings! On this week's podcast the crew breaks down the Trump transition - which is full swing. Some great picks have been made and some, well, not so great ones. As candidates begin to get vetted, some are being talk about less for their policy positions and more for their sex lives. In the media, the left grovels their way back to Trump - the same man they called 'Hitler' just weeks ago. And new robot technology has us wondering, is a robot boyfriend better than a real boyfriend? Join us now on Flyover Country! 

Plenty of times over the last four years, Donald Trump's political career seemed over. But on Tuesday night, he rose from the ashes, won all 7 swing states, won the popular vote and became President-elect. Now the work begin; for both parties really. On today's podcast, we give some final reflections on the election, breakdown some of the takeaways from exit polling and preview what the future of the two parties might look like. Listen now!

With less than a week until election day - the goose is cooked...right? Surely neither campaign, or party, would find a way to stir things up in the last minute. Well, not so fast. In the last week, both parties have had to play clean up on some not-so-helpful remarks. At the same time, millions of Americans have already voted - and the race still seems deadlocked. On the last Flyover Country ahead of election day - we give our final thoughts, predictions and everything else before the polls close. So, who will win? Tune in to find out! 

With less than two week until election day, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making some of their final media appearances, campaign stops and rallies. On Wednesday night, Harris chatted with voters in Pennsylvania, moderated by CNN's Anderson Cooper, and made plenty of vague, rambling answers during the night. The night was another example of her month long rough media appearances. But how much will it matter? Are voters really undecided? We talk about the final weeks of the campaign on today's show - and dive into some of the latest polling. Join us! 

This week our own Scott Jennings chatted with conservative media icon Hugh Hewitt about his life growing up in Kentucky, his journey in politics, and his ever growing role at CNN. Thanks to Hugh for having Scott on - check out the transcript here: https://hughhewitt.com/scott-jennings-conservative-champion-on-cnn

Well, VP Harris has finally decided to take herself on a little media tour - spending the last week with The View, Howard Stern, Call her Daddy, 60 Minutes and a more. But, was it at all successful? Was the editing of 60 minutes enough to make up for her word salads? Were the softball question from Alex Cooper helpful? And at the same time - she picked a fight with the WRONG Governor, going after Ron DeSantis in the same week. So, a good week for Harris? Not so much. We break it all down as Scott joins us from New York! Join us! 

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! 

On Monday afternoon, Scott Jennings jumped in the NYC studio with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton to talk Trump, CNN, campaign strategy and more! Check out the full segment here! Thanks to Clay and Buck for having our host on! Check out their show and listen live here: https://www.clayandbuck.com/

With less than 2 months until election day, Scott Jennings and his CNN colleague Ashley Allison sat down together for a panel discussion this week at the Kentucky Chamber's Annual Dinner. Led by Jacqueline Pitts, the conversation ranged from campaign tactics, to the top issues voters care about, and of course the undecided voter. Thank you to the KY Chamber for hosting - check out the full conversation now! 

For the first 15 minutes of last night's debate, Donald Trump seemed in control. He was strong on the economy and inflation, two of his best issues. But it all changed when Harris taunted Trump on his rally sizes - forcing the former President to take her bait and spiral. On today's Flyover Country, Scott Jennings joins us live from New York - fresh off the CNN set to breakdown last night's debate and discuss how much it might impact the race. Join us now! 

We've passed Labor Day and the campaign for President is taking shape. The one unpredictable thing? What accent Kamala Harris might fall into at her next rally. On this week's podcast the crew returns to breakdown the Harris/Walz CNN interview, the latest polling from swing states and recap the last few weeks on the campaign trails. From the Arlington Cemetery controversy to fake accents in Detroit...it has been a interesting few days to say the least. Tune in now!

From the Breitbart Daily News Podcast: Welp, Kamala Harris had her big first interview as the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee on CNN. Was it any good?

You won't want to miss their hot takes on what went right and what went wrong last night for Kamala...

With some memorable moments and plenty of celebrity cameos - night 4 - the final night of the DNC, put all eyes on Kamala Harris and the biggest speech of her career so far. So, did she deliver? On today's podcast, Scott returns from Chicago to recap a wild and wonderful week at the United Center. And with the all the balloons fallen and the speeches wrapped, the real campaign begins. We breakdown Harris's performance and where it puts us in the race for the White House. Listen now! 

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!

On the last night of the 2024 RNC, Hulk Hogan brought down the house! On a night where Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock and Dana White all took the stage - the energy was high as Republicans kept their momentum rolling. Donald Trump wrapped the night up with a long - long winded speech touching on just about everything - while striking a slightly softer tone. We recap it all after a big week in Milwaukee - Listen now!

Day 3 of the RNC featured a primetime speech from VP nominee JD Vance - but the whole night seemed overshadowed by the words of the Gold Star Families who took the stage. Vance, Trump's granddaughter, his song Junior, all performed well - but no moment seemed more powerful or as political devastating as those families. On today's podcast, we talk through the big moments of the night - all while Joe Biden's candidacy continues to fall apart. Join us on Flyover Country!

With many of the formalities out of the way, Day 2 of the RNC was a speech heavy day - featuring old rivals like Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley and new allies like Vivek Ramaswamy. The message of unity continued throughout the night, with everyone throwing their full fledged support behind Donald Trump. But perhaps no speech was more impactful than that of Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She brought the house down on Day 2 - a sign of a potential rising star. We break it all down this morning for you, Day 2 of the RNC in the books! 

Day 1 recap of the RNC! While Donald Trump may have stolen the moment by showing up, bandaged at that, to the RNC on night 1 just days after almost being assassinated, plenty of big news came out of night 1. The long awaited announcement of a VP is over, as Trump taps Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate. The day had some memorable and not so memorable speeches, but none seemed to capture folks attention more than Amber Rose. Join us today - and all week long - as we break down each of the RNC. Day 1 - in the books! 

With the Republican National Convention just a few days away, all the momentum seems to be with Donald Trump. Democrats, still in a panic over Biden's debate performance and how to handle him, continue to fall apart, with calls for Biden to drop out intensifying by the day. So, with the two parties in very different positions, how should they each handle it? On today's podcast we breakdown where Biden and the Dems are after this week and what Trump and the GOP should do with the convention next week. Listen now! 

Leaks from the White House, concern among Democrats, Governors freaking out, donors asking for answers - it is safe to say things are NOT going well for Joe Biden since last week's debate. Will concerns about the President's health at an all time high, Democrats are scrambling to find answers. Is Biden their only hope? Can they replace him? Who replaces him?! All of it has caused widespread panic - with more questions than answers for Democrats. This week on Flyover Country we dive into the story capturing the nation's attention. Join us! 

From this weekend's Newsworthy Podcasts: President Biden and former President Trump came face to face this week for the first time in four years – on CNN's debate stage. Now it's all about the reactions to their performances and what comes next leading up to Election Day in November.  In this Special Edition, we're talking with two political strategists – a Republican and a Democrat – about what went down on stage in Atlanta and what they think the campaigns should do next.

In last night's debate, the stakes could not have higher for Joe Biden, and in the end - his flop could not bigger. President Biden arrived in Atlanta with his poll numbers falling and major questions about his health - and did nothing to reassure voters that he could handle the job of President. 90 grueling minutes later, calls for Biden to step aside have gotten louder. Trump however, posting a fine performance, now rides some major momentum. So, is it over for Biden? We breakdown everything from last night's debate - NOW on Flyover Country. 

It's debate time! With just a week before Biden an Trump will faceoff in the first debate of 2024 - the Flyover Country brings you all the debate prep and analysis you need!
