Welcome to Flyover Country with Scott Jennings. If you‘ve followed my commentary on tv or newspapers, you know I‘m a conservative — but sometimes I like to zig when everyone else is going to zag. You‘re going to hear podcast versions of my columns. You‘re going to hear me talk at length about some of the stuff we do on TV. You‘re also going to hear me talk to guests and other panels to have insightful conversations about the news. Most of the time though, you‘re just going to hear me giving you the news and giving you my commentary. I‘ll always tell you the truth, and I‘ll always be happy to engage with our listeners. Enjoy Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

Thursday Oct 24, 2024
Thursday Oct 24, 2024
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!

ROUNDTABLE: Harris Flounders on Friendly Media Tour
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
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!

ROUNDTABLE: Vance Bests Walz in Policy Heavy Debate
Wednesday Oct 02, 2024
Wednesday Oct 02, 2024
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!
