Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

2022 Fancy Farm Preview: Republicans Rally - Democrats Bow Out

There is perhaps no event that symbolizes the best of Flyover Country quite like the Fancy Farm Picnic. A 100+ year old tradition in West Kentucky, the food, speeches and one-liners of Fancy Farm are all special. On today's podcast, Steven Elder, the Political Chairman of Fancy Farm, joins us to talk about the history of the picnic and preview some of this year's speakers - and no-shows. With Republicans firmly in control of much of this state, Democrats have begun to abandon the tradition. Is that a good idea? We discuss it all on today's show. Join us! 

ROUNDTABLE: A New Emergency Everyday for Joe Biden

Facing an inability to pass nearly any major parts of his agenda, Biden has taken on a new approach: emergency decelerations. On the heels of throwing around the idea of making abortion access an emergency - the President is now contemplating doing the same for climate change. The reliance on emergency powers and executive orders spells danger for our institutional norms - the opposite of what Biden campaigned on. Nearly 2 years into the presidency we have no normalcy on the economy, coronavirus or nearly any other issue. On today's Flyover Country podcast the crew talks Biden and his failed agenda, the January 6 hearings and what they mean for Trump and Biden's covid-19 diagnosis. Join us! 

ROUNDTABLE: Biden’s Goose is Cooked. Can he save his Presidency?

Every new poll, every week, the Biden presidency falls farther and farther down. Historic lows among nearly every voter group - including his own party - have many wondering 'Is he up to the task for another term?' As some potential '24 Democrat candidate launch pseudo-campaigns (looking at you Gavin Newsom) Biden has to feel the pressure. Can he save his presidency and reconnect with voters? We also get into Jill Biden's major mess-up, new revelations from the Jan.6 hearings and much more! Join us! 

ROUNDTABLE: It’s the Economy, Stupid

As stories of violence and abortion dominate the headlines, and as Democrats try to make those two issues midterm issues, it is clear one thing is on the minds of American voters: the economy. On today's Flyover Country roundtable podcast the team talks through new polling on the top issues for voters, as well as polling on Roe v Wade. Biden's poll numbers continue to drop as he flounders of several issues. All that and we go through Scott Jennings's muted words on his twitter account! Join us on Flyover Country! 

Mark Paoletta - the Clarence Thomas Whisperer - talks about the Life and Legacy of Justice Thomas

Perhaps no one person has had more influence on the conservative legal movement of the last few decades than Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The man has learned from, taught and tutored some of the most influential lawyers and judges all across the country. It is because of all this, Mark Paoletta decided he must tell the Justice's story to the world. So, not long ago he worked to create a documentary that tell's Clarence Thomas's story in his own words. But with so much content that did not make the movie - Mark decided to publish a book with even more stories. Joining Flyover Country today to discuss the movie, book and the Justice's legacy is Mark Paoletta, author of 'Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in his Own Words' - listen now! 

Jeff Nussbaum talks about the Greatest Speeches the World Never Heard

What would it have sounded like if Richard Nixon refused to resign? What speech would JFK have given in Dallas if he was not assassinated? A 2016 victory speech from Hillary Clinton? Many of these speeches would have meant a different world, with much different outcomes. On today's podcast, Jeff Nussbaum, author of "Undelivered: The Never-Heard Speeches that Would Have Rewritten History", talks about his new book exploring some of the greatest speeches the world never heard. Hear all about how Jeff put the book together, his favorite speeches, and learn a little about the speech writing process! Join us now, on Flyover Country! 

ROUNDTABLE: ”They aren’t woke - but they are broke!”

As more primaries finish up around the country, the picture of what November's elections might look like are being clearer and clearer. Republicans looked poised to win the House - and may have found a new voter bloc in Hispanic voters. With gas prices and inflation up and the stock market down - it begs the question "What will Democrats run on?" Gun violence legislation pends in Washington as the abortion issue and Jan.6 still loom, all making for an interesting next few months. Hear us talk about it all on today's Flyover Country! Listen now! 

ROUNDTABLE: Will the Left Wing Mob Destroy our Institutions?

Recently, it feels as those left wing mob rule is the preferred method of the Democratic Party for getting things done. No rules, no democracy, no process, just action by mob rule. On the Supreme Court, they have decided it is illegitimate and must be literally burned down to saved our country. This radical "mobocratic rule" showed its ugly face this week as an assassin plot on Justice Kavanuagh was foiled, justified by the radicals because Kavanaugh, and his colleagues, are not "legitimate." As midterms come closer it is becoming clear the Democrats don't just have a communication problem, they have a major policy problem. There approach and ideas are simply not lining up with average Americans - and this spells doom. Join us on today's Flyover Country as we dive into the biggest stories of the week and much more! 

ROUNDTABLE: Winter is Coming for the Democrats

More inflation, more supply chain issues, record breaking gas prices, and now a nation wide baby formula shortage. Is the Biden Administration handling anything well? Slow to react and limited in their response to everything it seems, Democrats and Biden see their poll numbers in the tank. With primaries near, Republicans have a real good shot to take back the House and Senate. Join us on this week's roundtable as we dive into key issues for voters like inflation, or maybe abortion, and how that might spell disaster for Democrats come November. Listen now!
