ROUNDTABLE: Vance Bests Walz in Policy Heavy Debate

On Tuesday night VP candidate  Senator JD Vance looked poised, prepared and articulate. His opponent, Governor Walz looked, well, the opposite. He looked flustered, a little over-prepared perhaps and stumbled through most of the night. But the two also engaged in plenty of substantive policy exchanges, shared commonalities and sympathies for each other, giving viewers a very cordial two hours. So, will it matter? On today's Flyover Country the full crew returns to recap the night and forecast what, if any, impact it may have. Listen now!

DNC Day 3 Recap: Are Vibes and Joy Enough for Kamala?

Night 3 of the DNC was perhaps the most tame night so far. Despite some celebrities taking the stage - the speaker list lacked some energy turning the night into a bit of a snooze fest. Bill Clinton, Tim Walz, Josh Shapiro and more filled the night with plenty of talk about vibes and joy, but not much substance. So, is a good feeling enough to carry the party? On today's podcast we recap night 3 and look forward to the final night as Kamala Harris takes the stage for the biggest speech of her career. Tune in!

DNC Day 2 Recap: Obamania Takes Over Chicago

It was a rocking night 2 of the DNC as some premier speakers took the stage - headline by the Obamas and Doug Emhoff. While Bernie Sanders was decrying billionaires, only to be followed up by a literal billionaire - last night's speakers played plenty of hits for Democrats, with some strong calls to action and hope. But perhaps none of it was as memorable as Lil Jon performing 'Turn Down for What' to hype the crowd. We discuss it all on today's Flyover Country - join us!

SPECIAL: Scott Jennings Interviews Senator McConnell on the Importance of US Leadership

There is perhaps no issue that Senator Mitch McConnell takes more seriously than defending American exceptionalism - and a part of that means defending America's role in the world. Yet today, members within his own party wish to abandon America's role in the world stage and instead embrace a more isolationist role. In speaking with our own Scott Jennings last week, Senator McConnell outlined why we must never abandon our critically important global role and embrace America's greatness.

ROUNDTABLE: Media Pumps up Kamala as She Closes in on Trump

My, oh, my - what a month it has been. Not long ago, it seemed Donald Trump had taken a grip on the Presidential race, primed to be re-elected in a few months. But, since the Democrats kicked Biden out, it has all changed. After a few weeks of fluff pieces, positive media coverage and roaring rallies, Kamala Harris has the Democrats storming back. Now, it is all on Trump's shoulders. Can he define Harris as a radical and stay on message? Or will he find himself stuck off script, hurting his own cause. Buckle up, folks, we are in for a wild few months.

ROUNDTABLE: Is the Kamala Momentum Real?

It's been just a week and a half since Joe Biden dropped out and passed the torch to Kamala Harris, and her campaign seems to be...rolling? New polling suggest Kamala has given Democrats the bump they need to make this race competitive again, putting plenty of swing states back in play. But will it be enough or will the poor ratings of Biden/Harris presidency drag her down? And can a VP pick make the difference? On this week's Flyover Country we dive into the new strategies from the Harris team, some new ads from Trump and Harris and do some recalibrating as the new matchup comes into view. Join us!

ROUNDTABLE: Welcome to the Kamala Harris Show

Well - what a week it has been! In a stunning change of heart, on Sunday, President Biden announced his candidacy for a second term was done and he'd be backing his own VP Harris as the next President. In the days that followed, things moved quickly, with delegates throwing their support behind the VP - seemingly avoiding an open convention. Now, with a new candidate for the Democrats, Trump must pivot his attacks, while Harris finds her footing. Tune in this week as we discuss everything from this historical week!

Day 3 of the RNC featured a primetime speech from VP nominee JD Vance - but the whole night seemed overshadowed by the words of the Gold Star Families who took the stage.
