Scott Jennings Continues to Take CNN Panelists’ Scalps, Makes Career Move Announcement [WATCH]

Scott Jennings, CNN contributor and political commentator, will begin hosting a weekday program on the Salem Radio Network starting July 14.

The show will air from 2:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern Time and marks Jennings’ entry into conservative talk radio while he continues to appear regularly on CNN panels.

Known for offering conservative perspectives on a predominantly liberal network, Jennings has often clashed with fellow commentators on-air over major political issues.

His move to Salem Radio, a prominent platform for conservative voices, comes as he maintains his position on CNN, where he frequently challenges progressive narratives during roundtable segments.

During a recent CNN appearance, Jennings sparred with Christine Quinn, the former speaker of the New York City Council, over statements made by New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.

The two debated Mamdani’s public remarks regarding immigration enforcement and federal agents.

Quinn attempted to push back on the assertion that Mamdani had expressed opposition to allowing federal agents to carry out immigration enforcement operations in New York.

Jennings countered by pointing out that Mamdani had explicitly made such statements and that efforts to deny or downplay them did not reflect the public record.

Jennings, during the segment, pointed out the contradiction.

“He literally said it,” Jennings stated, responding to Quinn’s denial.

The exchange continued, with Quinn attempting to reframe Mamdani’s position, but Jennings held firm on his interpretation of the assemblyman’s remarks.

The discussion took a sharper turn when the conversation shifted to Mamdani’s political ideology.

Jennings referred to Mamdani as a communist, a label that Quinn objected to, suggesting instead that Mamdani was a socialist.

Jennings responded by noting the similarities between the two ideologies in practice and added that both draw from the same ideological roots.

The clip generated online discussion following the broadcast, particularly among conservative viewers who praised Jennings’ handling of the exchange.

Jennings, a longtime Republican strategist, has gained attention for his ability to remain composed during heated discussions on politically divisive issues, particularly immigration and federal law enforcement.

His addition to the Salem Radio Network’s weekday lineup is expected to draw a national audience of listeners familiar with his television commentary.

The program will offer Jennings a platform to expand beyond panel segments and into full-hour broadcasts where he will lead discussions on policy, national politics, and media narratives.

The Salem Radio Network, known for hosting several high-profile conservative voices, including Hugh Hewitt and Dennis Prager, will now feature Jennings in a daily slot as it continues to expand its influence in political broadcasting.

Jennings’ move reflects a broader trend among conservative commentators who are extending their reach across multiple media platforms while continuing to appear on mainstream outlets.

His CNN appearances are expected to continue, including future segments where he will likely address topics related to immigration, law enforcement, and the ongoing debate over progressive and socialist policies at the state and local levels.
