Scott Jennings has spent his career at the intersection of politics and media — as a campaign strategist, a White House aide, and one of television's most visible conservative commentators. He joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour for a wide-ranging conversation recorded as his book, A Revolution of Common Sense, was on its way to readers.
The discussion covers the terrain Jennings knows best: the state of free speech, the inner workings of presidential politics — including stories from life aboard Air Force One — and his case for where he believes the country and the Republican Party go from here.
