‘Not Exactly A Glass Half-Full Kinda Guy’: Scott Jennings Verbally Brawls With CNN Panelist Over Iran

Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings clashed with Washington Post intelligence analyst Josh Rogin over the progress of Operation Epic Fury on Thursday, questioning if Rogin could see a glass as “half-full.”

President Donald Trump announced Operation Epic Fury in a video posted on Truth Social Feb. 28 after attempts to negotiate a cessation of Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons failed. Rogin cited climbing gas prices due to the surge in the price of oil, prompting Jennings to note that prices were higher during the Biden administration.

“There’s risk in everything. Every decision a President makes has risk and none are riskier than the decision to commit troops to the theater of war. Not just because of what can happen in the theater, but because of what can happen at home,” Jennings said. “Gas looks like it’s $3.73 a gallon. It got somewhat higher than that during the Biden administration. We haven’t gotten back to those numbers yet.”

They trust the President on this. How long it lasts and when we get out, we’ll make a difference on that. Right now-”
