On Wednesday morning, our friends at Salem Media announced that CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings — a 2025 MRC Bulldog Award winner, daily viral sensation, and conservative star — will be joining their radio side starting on July 14 for a weekday talk show at 2:00 p.m. Eastern.
Jennings has plenty of experience in the radio and podcasting sphere, most recently hosting the podcast Flyover Country and served last year as a fill-in host on the Salem Radio Network for the great Mike Gallagher.
He reposted on X the announcement and dished on the format:
Jennings joined the aforementioned Gallagher to react on-camera:
“It’s an honor to be with Salem....and this company has legends...You guys are the gold standard of, I think, conservative talk radio and, to be part of it, is an honor to be asked. I’m happy to do it and we’re going to bring some common sense. Like, what you see on CNN — I’m having to talk over five people. At least for an hour, I’ll just get to talk for myself and we’ll have a lot of fun doing it...It’s hard to do. You gotta keep you with the news,” he said in part.
In a press release, Jennings added: “We’re going on offense. Every day, I’ll take calls, interview big names, and take the fight directly to the liberal machine. It’s time to bust the narratives and bring back some plain old common sense.”
Jennings will be in prime real estate on Salem’s schedule, airing between The Charlie Kirk Show and The Hugh Hewitt Show. The spot is currently held by Human Events’s Jack Posobiec, but he will remain with Salem on their podcast network.
Since he first started his regular appearances on CNN in 2017, Jennings has become one of the most recognizable conservatives, obliterating liberal narratives through unflinching yet civil debate and simultaneously winning friends and plaudits from across the aisle.
Based on how you, dear readers, react to Jennings content and our videos on X of Jennings, this is sure to be a hit.
