Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

ROUNDTABLE: RFK, Ronna, and Ohtani...Oh My!

A big week of headlines in the world of politics AND sports. In Presidential politics, RFK Jr announced his running mate this week. -but maybe more importantly, continues to eat away at Joe Biden in recent polling. Despite closing the gap in some key states, Biden is still far far underwater on most key issues and with many voting blocs. Meanwhile, the folks at MSNBC threw a tantrum this week when it was announced that former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel would join their staff. The revolt led to her contract being ended - but the damage hardly ends there. And this week, baseball's biggest superstar Shohei Ohtani is now embroiled in a gambling scandal. All that and more this week on Flyover Country with Scott Jennings!

The political world was rocked Wednesday afternoon as longtime Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell announced he would be leaving his leadership position at the end of the year - ending a record breaking tenure for the Senator.

INTERVIEW: David Polyansky takes us Inside the DeSantis Campaign

On reelection night in 2022, Ron DeSantis looked primed to be the next GOP nominee for President. A resounding victory along with tough losses by Trump backed candidates seem to set him up to finally take down Trump. However, after waiting many months, and watching Trump regain his strength, the DeSantis campaign eventually fell flat. David Polyansky, a long-time GOP strategist, was the Deputy Campaign Director for DeSantis and joins us today to break down all the decisions, right or wrong, that the campaign made. From media to fundraisers and much more, David takes us behind the scenes of the campaign to reflect on the good and bad, as well as what might be next for the Florida Governor. 

ROUNDTABLE: Trump Argues for Immunity as Border Deal Collapses

Plenty going on in DC this week! Despite progress and bi-partisan support, a bill to deal with the Southern border, Ukraine and more fell apart this week as it appears pressure from Donald Trump was simply too much. Biden blames the "MAGA Republicans" for issues at the border, despite his administration's own failings and their claims that it is secure not long ago. Meanwhile, the former President continues to deal with his many legal troubles, this time arguing he deserves immunity for what he did (or didn't do?) as President. Lots going on and we are still many months away from the election! Join us! 

ROUNDTABLE: Border Crisis Hits Boiling Point

With a lull in the primary season, all eyes have turned now to Congress and their hopes to pass some kind of bill to alleviate the country's border crisis. The politics of the situation have almost become bigger than the issue itself, as Biden weighs the re-election impact and Trump looks to stall any potential win for Biden. And the crises don't stop as tensions escalate with Iran, with the US losing 3 heroes this week. Can Biden pull things together and solve these major issues before election day? We discuss it all on this week's Flyover Country!
