(DCNF)—Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings has been making liberals look foolish again in 2025.
Jennings, a former George W. Bush administration official, has been a supporter of President Donald Trump, particularly during the 2024 election and through his second term in office. Often he has moments where, despite being outnumbered on CNN panels, he’s made liberals and Democrats look like turkeys.
June 5: Jennings Stumps Abby Phillip With One Question
In the wake of a June 1 attack on a weekly demonstration supporting hostages taken by the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas, a “CNN NewsNight” panel discussed the Trump administration’s efforts to deport the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who had allegedly overstayed a visa.
“Is this family in the country legally or not?” Jennings asked Phillip, who responded, “Actually, I’m not sure.”
“I think they may not be,” Jennings said, with Phillip replying, “Yeah, I’m not sure. No.”
After some back and forth, Jennings discussed how the Trump administration has also revoked some student visas and at least one green card over involvement in pro-Hamas demonstrations.
“If you’re on a visa, you don’t have a right to be here. You’re a guest in this country, and we’ve seen a number of our guests turn on actual Americans and it needs to stop,” Jennings said.
July 16: Jennings Torches Tiffany Cross’ Concentration Camp Claim
The Trump administration has blamed anti-ICE rhetoric for riots at ICE facilities across the country, including Chicago and Portland, Oregon, which have been the scene of multiple riots as opposition to the agency’s operations targeting illegal immigrants has intensified. So, when former MS Now host Tiffany Cross compared ICE facilities to concentration camps, Jennings didn’t let it slide.
“People want — people who are suffering right now, people who cannot pay their mortgage, people who have been separated from their families, people who are sitting in deportation camps, concentration camps, foreign and domestic, those people do not want to see people —” Cross claimed before Jennings interjected with, “That’s offensive to Jewish people.”
After a back and forth with the panel, including Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky, Jennings set Cross off with four words.
“You’ll never get it,” he said, prompting Cross to make an unfounded claim that ICE was “disappearing” people.
July 17: Jennings Debunks Toure’s Totally Wild Claim
During a “CNN NewsNight” panel about a year after Trump was shot and slightly wounded in the right ear during an assassination attempt while giving a speech at a July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania, former MSNBC host Toure questioned if Trump had actually been hit.
“Did he get shot or not? You’re saying you think he didn’t get shot?” Jennings asked. “I think it’s an important question. Are there still people who are truthers on this?”
“I wasn’t there, I don’t know! I don’t know. I’d like to hear from his doctor,” Toure fired back.
Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, Trump’s former White House physician who treated Trump’s wound, released a July 26, 2024, statement after then-FBI Director Christopher Wray speculated Trump may have been hit by shrapnel.
“During the Congressional Hearing two days ago, FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested that it could be a bullet, shrapnel, or glass,” Jackson wrote. “There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet. Congress should correct the record as confirmed by both the hospital and myself.”
Aug. 6: Jennings Doesn’t Hold Back When Liberal Argues DOGE Shut Down Diners
To date, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has identified $214 billion in savings since Trump established it, an average of $1,329.19 per taxpayer, according to the organization’s website. After Seneca Project CEO Tara Setmayer claimed that DOGE was responsible for the closure of diners and nail salons, Jennings cracked up.
“If you are a working-class American where manufacturing jobs are getting — are being lost by the tens of thousands, where small businesses are closing because of Donald Trump’s erratic tariff policy, where, you know, the diner waitress can’t — her diner is closed because Donald Trump and DOGE came in and cut tens of thousands of jobs in their hometown —” Setmayer claimed, with Jennings asking, “You’re saying DOGE cut diners?”
“I’m saying that DOGE cut the jobs, the federal jobs in areas where it trickles down — and you know this. So when you lose tens of thousands of jobs in an area, then that trickles down because then you don’t have those workers going to the nail salons and to the diners,” Setmayer said, with an apparently bemused Jennings responding, “This is a new one. I’ve never heard that DOGE cut the diners.”
Jennings later couldn’t contain laughter as Setmayer continued to blame DOGE for diners shutting down.
Nov. 10: Jennings Makes Clyburn Confess
After federal district judges ordered Trump to provide funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Jennings faced off with Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina.
“Do you believe a judge — do you believe, as a member of Congress, a judge can compel the executive to spend money that you haven’t appropriated?” Jennings asked during a “CNN NewsNight” panel, with Clyburn responding, “Yes, I do. Yes, I do.”
Following a back-and-forth with Clyburn, Jennings fired back, citing the “No Kings” protests many Democrats supported.
“Look, you guys have been railing against Trump being authoritarian, having too much power, too much executive power,” Jennings said. “And at the same time, Democrats have been arguing that he should go out and spend money that has not been appropriated this year by Congress.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
