Podcasts > The Scott Jennings Podcast
Friday, September 18, 2026
On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts from Jacksonville with a packed Friday program covering the continuing fallout from Hasan Piker’s Axios interview, including his comments about a nuclear-armed Iran and his political association with Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, before turning to new questions surrounding ActBlue’s donor-verification safeguards and allegations of possible foreign donations. Energy trader, entrepreneur and philanthropist John Arnold joins Scott for an extended conversation about America’s energy infrastructure, the challenges of building new power plants, pipelines and transmission lines, and the push for permitting reform in Congress. In Hour Two, Scott runs through the latest headlines on prescription-drug pricing, ICE leadership, sanctions on an Iranian cryptocurrency exchange and the Ohio Senate race, then revisits the Lindsay Clancy case as lone holdout juror Michael Desronvil explains his decision during deliberations. Scott closes the week with excerpts from his speech to rural electric cooperatives, touching on the economy, energy and new Census figures on household income and poverty.
