Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

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!

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! 

ROUNDTABLE: Come and Take Our Gas Stoves

Just a few months ago, while appearing on 60 minutes, President Biden called Trump's handling of classified documents "irresponsible." Fast forward to this week, and it appears President Biden made the same irresponsible mistake. A mistake of the same magnitude? Perhaps not, but the hypocrisy makes Biden and Democrats look bad. His bad week continued as the FAA ran into major problems and his administration floated the idea of banning gas stoves. Yes, they really did. On this week's Flyover Country we dive into all the big political news of the week and much more. Join us! 

ROUNDTABLE: No Speaker? No Congress.

Excited for Congress to get to work on tackling the important issues? Well, you will have to wait a little longer. With Republicans unable to come to a consensus on who should be the party's Speaker of the House - the House remains frozen in time. No one is sworn in. Committees cannot act. The Kevin McCarthy drama is hardly the only news out of DC this week as Senator McConnell reached an important career milestone and George Santos tries to fit in. We talk everything DC, politics and more on this week's Flyover Country. Listen now!
