Flyover Country with Scott Jennings

It's been less than two full months since Donald Trump return to the oval office, but he and his team - led at times by Elon Musk, have been on a war path to cut government waste and bloat. DOGE, the new kid on the block, has uncovered millions in waste, fraud and abuse in just a few short weeks. But the cuts have not come without controversy. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) was frequent among the media in his first term, but this...

It has been less than two weeks since the tragic plane crash near DC's airport, which has meant a long, tireless couple of weeks for Todd Inman. A member of the National Transportation Safety Board, Todd was on site of the crash within minutes, a crash site literally just out his window. Now, with concerns about travel safety rising, the NTSB is hard at work on their investigation and recommendations from the incident. In our final...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is just a few weeks into his new job, but he's already hit the ground running.

With serious conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine, continued concerns about drugs in South America and more, Sec. Rubio has a lot to tackle. He...

On today's Flyover Country - we dive into the biggest news of the week, while trying to balance all of the big news Trump is making. He's had some good: cutting waste at USAID, and some bad: t...

Donald Trump has only been President again for 5 days - but he has sure packed in a lot in his first week back. Once the formalities of the inauguration wrapped on Monday, the President got right to policy. Signing nearly 200 executive orders, it was clear a new era had begun in Washington. This week on Flyover Country, we talk about the good (and bad) of some of Trump's executive orders, the media reaction and what to expect Trump...

Happy New Year! After a short break, the Flyover Country team is back for the new year. With plenty already going on in Congress, we break down what the first few months of success could look like for Republicans - and how to get the Trump agenda moving. With some new characters in the mix (looking at you Elon) the policy making process looks a little different. As well, over the break Scott had plenty of viral moments for us to br...

You may have thought that the man who protected a subway car full of people from a career criminal having a psychotic break would be the good guy...and maybe the assassin who murdered a CEO in cold blood would be the bad guy? But not for the crazy leftists. This week on Flyover Country, we talk about the fallout from the Daniel Penny trial and Brian Thompson assassination, as some leftists pick the assassin as their new hero. In po...

Welcome back to Flyover Country with Scott Jennings! On this week's podcast the crew breaks down the Trump transition - which is full swing.

But on Tuesday night, he rose from the ashes, won all 7 swing states, won the popular vote and became President-elect. Now the work begin; for both parties really.

With less than a week until election day - the goose is cooked...right? Surely neither campaign, or party, would find a way to stir things up in the last minute. Well, not so fast. In the last week, both parties have had to play clean up on some not-so-helpful remarks. At the same time, millions of Americans have already voted - and the race still seems deadlocked. On the last Flyover Country ahead of election day - we give our fin...

With less than two week until election day, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making some of their final media appearances, campaign stops and rallies. On Wednesday night, Harris chatted with voters in Pennsylvania, moderated by CNN's Anderson Cooper, and made plenty of vague, rambling answers during the night. The night was another example of her month long rough media appearances. But how much will it matter? Are voters really u...

Well, VP Harris has finally decided to take herself on a little media tour - spending the last week with The View, Howard Stern, Call her Daddy, 60 Minutes and a more. But, was it at all successful? Was the editing of 60 minutes enough to make up for her word salads? Were the softball question from Alex Cooper helpful? And at the same time - she picked a fight with the WRONG Governor, going after Ron DeSantis in the same week. So, ...
