Scott Jennings, the political strategist and regular on conservative talk radio, reportedly announced on Tuesday that he will debut a new nationally syndicated show on the Salem Radio Network.
Scheduled to air weekdays from 2 to 3 p.m., Jennings will follow Charlie Kirk’s flagship program and precede Hugh Hewitt, promising to keep the momentum of conservative commentary rolling through the afternoon drive.
Jennings trumpeted his return to “my radio roots,” framing the broadcast as a platform for fervent discussion and heated debate.
He promised a mix of guest interviews, caller participation, and strong conservative messaging—an opportunity, he said, “for the liberal tears to flow” in reaction to his commentary.
Jennings, who served in the George W. Bush administration and remains a vocal Trump supporter, brings both insider connections and a combative tone to his new role.
His show will occupy a key time slot in Salem’s line-up, sandwiched between two high-profile conservative voices, suggesting that network executives are eager to capture sustained engagement during afternoon hours.
In announcing the show, Jennings acknowledged the changing media environment, noting that listeners “want direct talk” and unfiltered viewpoints.
He suggested that his program would offer both urgent political analysis and partisan cheerleading—a blend likely to resonate with audiences seeking affirmation amid a contentious political landscape.
The timing is notable. As the country gears up for the 2026 election cycle, conservative media has become a battleground for influence within the Republican Party.
With debates raging over Trump’s legacy, the GOP’s trajectory, and America’s global role, Jennings’s voice arrives at a moment when shaping the narrative may prove decisive.
Listeners can expect a rotating cast of guests—from elected officials and political operatives to cultural commentators—all while maintaining a confrontational posture toward liberal politics.
With the promise of airing live calls, the show positions itself as an arena for grassroots voices, amplifying the populist energy that defines much of right-wing talk radio.
It remains to be seen whether his show will achieve the ratings or headlines of his peers. Yet by launching in that strategic time slot, Jennings signals ambition both personally and ideologically.
He becomes part of a broader conservative media ecosystem that includes podcasting, digital commentary, and traditional broadcasting—seeking to shape policy debates and public opinion ahead of a consequential election cycle.
As Jennings pledges to hold his audience’s attention through a blend of ire, insight, and provocation, his return to the airwaves underscores the enduring role of talk radio in American political life—and how media figures continue to influence those conversations.
