From the historic campus of Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, where the good, the true, and the beautiful are taught, nurtured, and honored, this is the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, bringing the activity and education of the college to listeners across the country.

For a lot of people in the media, he broke them, you know.

He convinced them that they're no longer supposed to be journalists,

but they're supposed to be activists or they're supposed to be opposition to the president.

I think you can cover him fairly and you can ask hard questions,

but what we've seen is something that's gone well beyond that. This is your host, Scott Bertram.

Welcome to the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, part of the Hillsdale College Podcast Network.

That was Scott Jennings, senior political commentator at CNN, and also author of the new book,

A Revolution of Common Sense, How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization.

We'll talk in depth with Scott about that book on today's program.

Also later on, Ava Downs is with us, current Hillsdale student and 2025 USA shooting Trap Junior Olympic Champion.

First, we're joined by Scott Jennings. He's CNN Senior Political Commentator, also radio host for the Salem Radio Network.

You can find him on X at Scott Jennings, K.Y. His brand new book is A Revolution of Common Sense,

how Donald Trump stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization. Scott, thanks so much

for joining us. Hey, thanks for the time today. Honored to be with you. I don't know if you get this

All of a sudden, election 2024, everyone's watching viral videos on X and elsewhere,

Well, a long time ago, he came from Kentucky. I'm a western Kentuckian. I grew up in a little town called Dawson Springs and also attended the University of Louisville. That's where I graduated from.

And years ago, I thought I was going to be in journalism. I was a radio news anchor in Louisville while I was in college.
