On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott tackles the Trump administration’s economic and national-security agenda, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s argument that steel tariffs made a proposed $15 billion Iowa steel plant possible and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s assertion that foreign bad actors were involved in the terrorist attack near RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom. Scott also pays tribute to fallen Kentucky State Trooper Hayden Phillips before Iowa Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks joins the program to discuss the proposed steel plant and the political and economic issues facing her district. Scott later turns his attention to former President Barack Obama, while Campus Reform correspondent editor Esteban Elizondo examines the latest political battles on American college campuses. In Hour Two, Scott discusses President Trump’s launch of America.gov before Nebraska Sen. Pete Ricketts joins him for an extended conversation on the major issues facing Washington and the country.
