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 ca...

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!

Live from Chicago and fresh off the CNN set, Scott Jennings joins us to breakdown everything he saw from Day 1 of the DNC. With some powerful speeches from Senator Warnock, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and Governor Beshear - the Democrat kicked things off with a pretty good show on night 1. But perhaps all of it was overshadowed by the man pushed into the late night slot, speaking long after many folks went to bed - President Biden. On today's podcast we've got all our reactions to the big speech...

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.

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 ...

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?

On this week's Flyover Country we dive into the new strategies from the Harris team,...

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 t...

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.

With many of the formalities out of the way, Day 2 of the RNC was a speech heavy day - featuring old rivals like Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley and new allies like Vivek Ramaswamy. The message of unity continued throughout the night, with everyone throwing their full fledged support behind Donald Trump. But perhaps no speech was more impactful than that of Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She brought the house down on Day 2 - a sign of a potential rising star. We break it all down this morning for you, Day...

In last night's debate, the stakes could not have higher for Joe Biden, and in the end - his flop could not bigger. President Biden arrived in Atlanta with his poll numbers falling and major questions about his health - and did nothing to reassure voters that he could handle the job of President. 90 grueling minutes later, calls for Biden to step aside have gotten louder. Trump however, posting a fine performance, now rides some major momentum. So, is it over for Biden? We breakdown everything f...
