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 speeches and the interesting scheduling. Join us all week long for coverage of the DNC!

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 cause. Buckle up, folks, we are in for a wild few months.

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!

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. Vance, Trump's granddaughter, his song Junior, all performed well - but no moment seemed more powerful or as political devastating as those families. On today's podcast, we talk through the big moments of the night - all while Joe Biden's candidacy continues to fall apart. Join us on Flyover Country!

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 2 of the RNC in the books!
