Political commentator Scott Jennings has been called the
“conservative explaining Red America to CNN viewers.” As the
in-house Republican on CNN’s NewsNight With Abby Phillips debate
panels, he often acts as a de facto Trump spokesman at the table.
Jennings has been in Republican politics for more than two decades.
In the mid-aughts he worked as a Special Assistant to President
George W. Bush, and later advised Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell
in multiple campaigns. Jennings was openly critical of President
Trump before and during his first term, especially after the
January 6th attacks. But in his new book, A Revolution of Common
Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western
Civilization, Jennings argues that Donald Trump’s second term is
not just a political comeback, but a transformation of the
presidency itself. Kara and Scott spar about the Epstein files,
discuss what they mean for the MAGA movement, and whether Trump’s
policies are really “common sense.” Plus, how Scott turned into a
MAGA man and why he likes being the odd-Republican-out at CNN. Note
to listeners: This is an extended version of the episode that was
originally published on Thursday, November 20th. Questions?
