Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

ROUNDTABLE: What does ’Woke’ mean?

What a week! Scott returns from attending the Gridiron Club Dinner to recap a memorable speech from Mike Pence, and a couple of interesting run-ins with Dr. Fauci and Bill Nye the Science Guy. The Flyover crew helps the media understand what 'woke' means - and yes, spoiler alert, it is real. And finally, we wrap up with some insights into the DeSantis/Trump feud and what it all might mean for 2024. Join us on Flyover Country! 

ROUNDTABLE: KY Power Outages, Jan.6 footage and New MLB Rules

What a week! Scott is still without power - but managed to write about his new favorite thing: the MLB pitch clock. The crew chats this week about baseball, the massive power outages across Kentucky, and some new debates around January 6th and COVID-19 origins. And we even find some time to play some ridiculous clips from Vice President Kamala Harris and Senator Bernie Sanders. Join us on Flyover Country! 

ROUNDTABLE: Democrats Show their True Woke Colors

From the coronavirus origin to ESG investing and violent crime, Democrats across the country have had a tough week convincing us they are anything but crazy woke liberals. In DC, Biden will go against protecting retirements, while in Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot starts to pack her bags after a Tuesday night loss. Kentucky Congressman Andy Barr shines on the House floor and 'Nurse Pearl' gets her 15 minutes of fame. It is a packed episode today on Flyover Country --join us! 

ROUNDTABLE: Mayor Pete Goes off the Rails

Biden heads to Ukraine, McConnell heads to Munich and Mayor Pete...doesn't do much. As the war in Ukraine hits its one year mark, US leaders set out across the globe to reiterate support for Ukraine. Biden shows support in Kyiv, while Senator McConnell does so from Munich. At home, Mayor Pete continues to stack up on failures. Trump's grand jury investigation in Georgia progresses. And finally, the left comes for Roald Dahl's "offensive" language. Join us on Flyover Country! 

ROUNDTABLE: Biden’s Balloon Blunder

Spy balloons, weather balloons, UFOs, who knows what all else is being shot down across the US and Canada. Plenty of questions and few answers from President Biden over the last few days. With the American public concerned, the Biden administration has provided little clarity on the situation. Why let one balloon travel, but shoot down others? Was the decision political? On this week's Flyover Country the crew talks balloons in the sky, Nikki Haley's announcement and new inflation numbers. Join us for it all! 

EMERGENCY POD: Reacting to Biden’s State of the Union Address

Boring? Exciting? Unifying? Reactions to President Biden's State of the Union speech varied greatly last night - so the Flyover Country crew hopped in the studio to bring you the important breakdown you need. Check out our immediate reactions to the President's words on social security, spending, the debt ceiling and much more. Also - is Mitt Romney the real star from last night? Hear all of that and more on today's emergency podcast episode! LISTEN NOW! 

ROUNDTABLE: Tornado Relief Fund Scandal in Kentucky?

When the devastating tornados hit West Kentucky in December 2021, folks across Kentucky jumped into action to donate money in hopes of helping the victims rebuild. Now, over a year later, the funds from the Team Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund have begun to be disrupted - but not without issues. Governor Beshear's team who oversees the fund has run into a lot cases of wrong folks receiving checks and plenty of deserving folks seeing nothing. How did the relief fund list get so messed up? The Governor blames FEMA - but FEMA blames him. So, who messed up? On this week's Flyover Country we dive into the latest scandal from the Beshear Administration, talk the unlikely friendship between Congressman James Comer and AOC and wrap up with a eulogy(?) for the career of Tom Brady. Join us! 

COLUMN: Does Kentucky have the most powerful congressional delegation in DC?

The latest column from Scott Jennings details the immense power Kentucky's federal delegation now holds in Congress. From McConnell to Comer and Paul and all the rest, each member holds a unique, and in many cases, powerful spot. Once again, Kentucky punches above its weight class in DC. Scott's advice? Book a trip to Louisville if you are looking to get anything done in DC. 

ROUNDTABLE: Debt Ceiling Battle Begins

Members of Congress have shaken off the new year cobwebs and finally are diving into the meat of the legislative session. Committee assignments are set - not without controversy - and Kevin McCarthy begins his reign as Speaker with a debt ceiling battle in front of him. Can the narrowly divided House reach and agreement before the deadline? We talk everything debt ceiling, the latest from the Senate and VP Kamala Harris edits the Declaration of Independence. All that and more on this week's Flyover Country! 

ROUNDTABLE: Open Records, the NHL and 2024 Candidates

Is Kentucky's Governor hiding something when it comes to COVID school closures? This week, Gov. Beshear was accused of violating the Open Records Act when his team refused to provide communications related to school closures. The secrecy from the Governor opens up some interesting questions on what they may be hiding - and what they don't want Kentuckians to know. On this week's Flyover Country we talk all about that, along with some controversy from the NHL and a couple new folks lean into running for President in 2024. Join us on Flyover Country!
