Flyover Country with Scott Jennings Bluegrass Media Lab

DEI - three letters that in the last four years have dominated political discussions. What once seemed like a well intentioned practice - has shown to be layered in nonsense, racist practices, and marxist ideas. Dr. Erec Smith, a professor and current research fellow at the Cato Institute, joins us today to discuss the problems with DEI, how we can help fix higher ed, and how he sees the perspectives of minority folks changing during these strange times. You can find more from Dr. Smith at FreeBlackThought.com - an organization in which he is the co-founder. Also on today's episode, fresh off the CNN Milwaukee set, Scott returns to recap his week and Biden's interview! Join us!

Emergency podcast! Just after wrapping up her interview with President Biden, CNN's Erin Burnett joined Scott Jennings, David Alexrod, MJ Lee and Jeff Zelensy on the set to react to and breakdown everything the President said. From Israel to Ukraine, the economy and much more - they covered it all. Listen now! 

Welcome to a PACKED episode on Flyover Country! The last week was full of big political news and moments, starting with Senator McConnell ushering through a huge foreign aid package in Congress. Meanwhile, college campuses across the country have become occupied by anti-Israel protestors who have destroyed property, attacked Jewish students and taken over buildings. Biden, fresh off the White House Correspondence dinner - took to the Howard Stern show for a incredible softball interview full of lies and cringe. All that and more on this week's Flyover Country! 

From this week's Hack on Tap Podcast: This week, Axe and Murphy were joined by Scott Jennings, a GOP strategist, conservative columnist, and CNN commentator. The Hacks discuss Johnson’s Speakership and the battle to pass aid packages, star GOP recruits, foreign wars, campus free speech, Biden’s messaging, and Trump’s trials.

The latest piece from Scott Jennings takes aim at Senator John Fetterman and Speaker Mike Johnson, two perhaps unlikely bedfellows who have found themselves governing from the middle - and returning some functionality to Congress.
