On today's edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott Jennings broadcast live from Kentucky with a heavy focus on President Trump’s growing influence in Republican primaries, including the high-stakes Kentucky showdown involving Rep. Thomas Massie, while also covering breaking developments on Iran, China, the Luigi Mangione case, and California politics. Guests included @GordonGChang on the fallout from the Trump-Xi summit and Taiwan tensions, Rep. Brad Knott on immigration and crime policy, EJ Antoni on the REPAIR Act and automaker control over repair data, Haley Strack on allegations involving California death row inmates using state-issued tablets for pornography and online exploitation, and Matthew Continetti on AOC’s recent comments about capitalism and American history. Throughout the show, Jennings combined political analysis, breaking news, and cultural commentary centered on government accountability, law enforcement, foreign policy, and the 2026 political landscape. https://www.chevron.com/america https://freespoke.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
