Scott Jennings has built a reputation for speaking truth to power on CNN, but what stood out to me in this conversation was his honesty, his perspective, and his heart.
We filmed this episode over a month ago in Washington DC, and it was the perfect backdrop for a raw and real discussion about politics, faith, and family.
We talked about what it takes to sit in the lion’s den night after night, debating politics in front of a national audience, and why authenticity matters more now than ever. Scott opened up about his career path from Kentucky to the Bush White House, to campaign war rooms, and now to CNN, where his voice has become one of the most recognizable conservative perspectives in America.
He shared stories about Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the lessons he has learned from decades inside politics and media. We also talked about faith, family, and why staying grounded matters when the world is coming at you full speed.
Scott Jennings is sharp, candid, and passionate about America’s future, but what I walked away with was a reminder of his integrity and his courage to stand firm in the face of constant pressure.
