Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

ROUNDTABLE: A Wave of Antisemitism Swallows the Left

On Wednesday, Senator Chuck Schumer spoke strongly and directly to the country, and many of his colleagues, amid a sharp rise in antisemitism. Warning those on the left to not abet in the harassment and attacks against Jewish people, Senator Schumer asked allies to condemn the antisemitism and make a clear vow of support for Israel in their war. While Schumer's remarks were clear, President Biden has been all over the map on this issue. And none of it seems to be helping his poll numbers as he continues to hit new lows within his party and with independents. All of this overshadows some new developments in the GOP primary for President - with more debates coming quickly. Are we simply bound for Trump v. Biden 2.0? Sure seems like it... All that and a special announcement from Kevin - listen to Flyover Country now! 

THROWBACK: Drafting the Best Things about Thanksgiving

Throwback episode! 2 years ago, when the Flyover Country podcast was just beginning, our crew sat down and drafted the best things about Thanksgiving. Turkey or Ham? Mashed potatoes or stuffing? They are some of the greatest debates around the holiday season. On this special episode we debate it all, along with some reminiscing on great holiday traditions. Here's to a great Thanksgiving with plenty of good food, friends and family! Happy Thanksgiving Flyover Country listeners! 

ROUNDTABLE: Manchin and Santos Out - Chinese Pandas In

Tensions are HIGH on Capitol Hill. We got elbows in the back, Senators challenging people to fights and a House member on the verge of being expelled. Welcome to Congress! Along with all that, big news this week as Joe Manchin announces he won't seek another term - priming Republicans to get some control back in the Senate. While all this happens, Speaker Johnson negotiates a deal to keep government open and Xi is sending more pandas! All that and more on Flyover Country!

ROUNDTABLE: Beshear Wins as GOP Sweeps Down Ballot in KY

On Tuesday night, the KY GOP saw plenty of election victories - but perhaps the one they wanted most - still got away. The strength of Andy Beshear's incumbency paired with big fundraising numbers, proved to be simply too much for Daniel Cameron to overcome. On this week's Flyover Country the crew breaks down Kentucky's election results, takes a look into what may have been the determining factors and previews what might be a rough four more years for Beshear. Also this week: Scott joins us from NY as he preps to report on the 3rd GOP debate on CNN. Listen now: this week on Flyover Country! 

INTERVIEW: Russell Coleman is Ready to Protect Kentucky’s Communities as Attorney General

He's been called the most qualified person to run for Attorney General in Kentucky's history, and there's plenty of reasons for it. Russell Coleman, the GOP nominee's for AG, has served his country as a US Attorney, FBI agent, prosecutor and much more. Now, with early voting underway in Kentucky, Coleman hopes to head to the AG's office to take on violent crime, deadly drugs and federal overreach. With just a few days before the election, Coleman sat down in-studio with the Flyover Country crew to talk about running for office, the Fancy Farm experience and what he hopes to accomplish while serving. Hear now from the lawman himself, Russell Coleman, now on Flyover Country!

ROUNDTABLE: The Final Days in Kentucky’s Governor Race

As you are listening to this, voting is now open in the 2023 Kentucky election! With early voting now available from Thursday to Saturday, Kentucky voters will head to the polls to pick our next Governor and all 5 constitutional offices. So with just a few days left, the Flyover Country crew breaks down the campaigns one last time. The TV ads are up, the flyers are mailed out and the bus tours are wrapping up - its all about the votes now. Of course, outside of Kentucky, war rages in the Middle East as Senator McConnell looks to stabilize things in DC. We discuss it all and much more - join us on Flyover Country! 

SPECIAL: Scott Jennings joins CNN’s Early Start with Kasie Hunt

Up and at 'em early for what could be a historic day in DC! With the GOP set to vote on another (!) candidate for House Speaker, Scott Jennings got up early to chat with CNN's Kasie Hunt about Rep. Mike Johnson - the new option for the GOP Speaker. With less name recognition than previous candidates, Mike Johnson could prove to be exactly what the GOP needs. A soft-spoken, non-controversial, workhouse. Hear Scott's thoughts on Rep. Johnson as he chatted with Kasie on Wednesday morning!

SPECIAL: Scott Jennings joins ’Hacks on Tap’ to talk GOP Speaker Fight

With the continued chaos in Washington DC as House Republicans scramble to find their next House Speaker, Scott joined the 'Hacks on Tap' podcast again to chat about the situation and discuss where the GOP goes from here. Can anyone get to 217 votes? Is there even anyone left who even wants the job? Might Democrats have a little buyer's remorse for helping oust McCarthy? Scott talks about it all in our Special Release this week! Thanks to the 'Hacks on Tap' crew for having us! 

ROUNDTABLE: The Fall of The House of Representatives

The House is in disarray. More than two weeks after the 'hateful eight' led a revolt to oust Speaker McCarthy, House Republicans have yet to elect a new Speaker. First Scalise fails, now Jim Jordan continues to fall on his face. An attempt to promote the Speaker Pro Temp failed too. All of it is messy. Of course this all comes at a time when the US must step up to assist Israel and Ukraine with new funding. This week, President Biden spent time in Israel - giving us some good, some bad and some really bad. Oh, and don't forget, we are just a few weeks from election day here in Kentucky. We've got it all covered on today's Flyover Country - listen now! 

INTERVIEW: Kentucky’s Allison Ball looks to go from Treasurer to Auditor in 2023

A steward of the taxpayers's dollars, Ball hopes to transition into the Auditor's office in 2023 and take on some big challenges. On today's Flyover Country, the current Treasurer and Auditor hopeful chats with our team about her success on the campaign trail, her priorities as the next Auditor and of course, the craziest items in the unclaimed property vault.
