Salem Launches 'The Scott Jennings Show' – A New Weapon in the Fight for Truth
Jennings, known to millions as the rare conservative who wins debates inside the lion's den of CNN, will bring his signature fire and facts to the Salem lineup. The program replaces The Jack Posobiec Show in the SRN live broadcast slot, while Posobiec continues as a force on SPN with exclusive podcast content.
'We're going on offense,' Jennings said. 'Every day, I'll take calls, interview big names, and take the fight directly to the liberal machine. It's time to bust the narratives and bring back some plain old common sense.'
'Scott Jennings is a disruptor,' said Phil Boyce, Senior VP at Salem. 'He's the Lone Ranger of the CNN panel, armed with facts and fearless in delivery. He doesn't just survive in hostile territory — he dominates. Now, with a national platform on Salem, Scott becomes a daily fixture in the battle to save the country.'
A former White House Special Assistant to President George W. Bush and veteran of four presidential campaigns, Jennings is a strategic insider with real-world political firepower. His upcoming book, 'A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization,' is set to be released this November and is already generating buzz for its insider perspective on Trump's return to power.
A Kentucky native, Jennings lives in Prospect with his wife and four sons — and somehow also manages three dogs and 35 chickens. Follow him on X: @ScottJenningsKY.

The West Claims to Champion the Persecuted. Middle Eastern Christians Prove Otherwise
As a terrorist fired at Saint Elias Church in Syria and entered with a grenade during a memorial mass on June 22, brothers Gergis and Boutros Bechara knew they were facing death when they moved quickly to save hundreds. Gergis kicked the explosive device, while Boutros wrestled the terrorist down. When the bomber detonated his suicide belt, the explosion ripped through them, sending fragments of their bodies into the air—but their sacrifice saved the lives of many among the 300 worshippers attending the memorial service. Just feet away, 19-year-old Maryana had come to church to light a candle. She survived the initial blast but died from her injuries days later. In a heartbreaking gesture, her relatives and neighbors asked her parents to parade her coffin through the street where she lived, so they could throw sweets on it—a Syrian tradition normally reserved for honoring a bride before her wedding. A Christian Syrian girl wounded in the explosion of the Saint Elias Greek Orthodox Church lies on the hospital bed in Damascus, Syria, on June 23, 2025. A Christian Syrian girl wounded in the explosion of the Saint Elias Greek Orthodox Church lies on the hospital bed in Damascus, Syria, on June 23, 2025. LAURIN STRELE/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images The massacre at Saint Elias Church in Damascus killed 25 Greek Orthodox Christians and wounded over 60—the deadliest attack against Syrian Christians in Damascus since 1860. The World's Selective Outrage Syria's Christian population has been decimated from 1.5 million to under 300,000 since 2011. Yet the global silence reveals devastating double standards. When Alawites were killed in March 2025, the U.S. and U.N. immediately called for accountability. However, atrocities against Alawites continue daily. In recent days, the Shiite community in Syria has also faced atrocities by terrorists. The European Union (EU) condemned the June 22 church attack. The U.S. State Department offered condolences, while the U.N. issued strong condemnations but none proposed concrete pressure on Syria's government. The hypocrisy becomes starker when examining financial support. The EU lifted sanctions against Syria in February 2025, redirecting funds toward infrastructure. On June 30, President Donald Trump issued a historic executive order terminating sanctions to support the country's path to stability and peace. Christians Feel Abandoned Prior to the church bombing, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate criticized the new Syrian government's insufficient response to keeping Christians safe. Christians have routinely expressed that they do not feel safe in Syria anymore. They have been part of the opposition in Syria since the domestic war started in 2011. Yet their voices are systematically ignored. Syrians from all faiths—Sunni Muslims, Shiite Muslims, Alawites, Christians, Druze, and others—have all raised their voices for a Syria that belongs to all Syrians. George Charro, a former ADFA volunteer who helped the needy in Lebanon and now runs his own IT business in Damascus, told Newsweek how Syrians of all faiths have been praying for the martyrs killed in the church and for an end to violence against all Syrians. A Call for Concrete Action The persecution of Christians in Syria has continued relentlessly for more than a decade. Nuns and other members of the clergy—including two of the country's most revered religious leaders—have been abducted. Some have vanished without a trace, others have been brutally murdered, and in certain cases, ransom has been paid. Churches have been bombed. Entire Christian neighborhoods have been emptied. I personally knew one of those abducted: Archbishop Yohanna Ibrahim. He was a friend of my late father, a man of deep faith, compassion, and unwavering commitment to peace and interfaith dialogue. Archbishop Ibrahim's disappearance, alongside that of Archbishop Boulos Yazigi, the brother of Patriarch John X Yazigi, head of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch, is a wound that remains open for their families and the entire region. On June 25, during his weekly general audience, Pope Leo XIV condemned the church bombing and expressed deep solidarity with Christians in Syria, stating: "I am close to you, and the whole Church stands with you." But will His Holiness go further? Will he call for an international conference demanding a Syria for all Syrians? Will the Vatican, the U.S. government, the EU, and the U.N. say their names: Maryana, Gergis, Boutros, and all the victims? Let these words echo in the constitution of Syria, the laws, the spirit, and the daily life of the country—words that are worthy of repeating: Syria for all Syrians.

Dr. Phil's Media Company Accuses Christian Network of 'Sabotage'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Merit Street Media, the media company founded by television personality and psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw, has filed for bankruptcy while suing its broadcast partner for allegedly contributing to its situation—accusing it of sabotage. In the suit, filed with the Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas, Merit Street Media claimed Christian network Trinity Broadcasting of Texas Inc. (TBN) "reneged on its obligations and abused its position as the controlling shareholder of Merit Street" to burden the company with over $100 million in debt. "These failures by TBN were neither unintended nor inadvertent," the lawsuit read. "They were a conscious, intentional pattern of choices made with full awareness that the consequence of which was to sabotage and seal the fate of a new but already nationally acclaimed network." Newsweek has reached out to TBN and Merit Street Media outside of regular working hours for comment. Dr. Phil McGraw visits SiriusXM Studios on February 27, 2024, in New York City. Dr. Phil McGraw visits SiriusXM Studios on February 27, 2024, in New York It Matters Merit Street Media's bankruptcy comes just over a year after its launch as a self-avowed anti-woke alternative to mainstream news outlets. Beyond the alleged actions of its distribution partner, its collapse highlights the difficulties of attempting to break into and compete in the cable television market—a sector which continues to be threatened as customers migrating to streaming services and digital news platforms. What To Know Upon officially launching Merit Street Media in April 2024, McGraw said the network would represent a "resource of information and strategies to fight for America and its families, which are under a cultural 'woke' assault as never before." "I love this country and I believe family is the backbone of our society. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America and get things that matter back on track," his statement read. The company aimed to become "one of the most widely distributed startup networks in modern history," driven by flagship show Dr. Phil Primetime and a broad lineup of shows starring other notable figures, including Nancy Grace and Steve Harvey. Its programming has included McGraw accompanying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during raids in Chicago and Los Angeles, and McGraw's 2024 interview with Donald Trump during the presidential campaign. Merit Street Media is suing TBN over alleged breach of contract, claiming that its former distribution partner failed to deliver on key commitments. Examples alleged in the lawsuit include failing to guarantee Merit Street's national distribution and providing "comically dysfunctional" production services, which left the network without viable means of airing its programming, per the suit. More critically, Merit Street Media claimed that TBN used its position as a controlling shareholder to "to advance its own interests and those of its CEO," and unfairly shift liabilities onto the company. The company is also suing TCT Ministries in the suit, in relation to a $25 million loan it says was originally made to Merit Street by a company "closely connected" to TBN and which TCT took over. Newsweek has also reached out to TCT Ministries for comment. In its coinciding bankruptcy filing, the company reported assets and liabilities of between $100 million and $500 million, according to Bloomberg. What People Are Saying Merit Street Media, in the lawsuit filed Wednesday, said: "TBN formed Merit Street as a joint venture and contractually committed to provide valuable services to the joint venture. But TBN then reneged on its obligations and abused its position as the controlling shareholder of Merit Street to improperly and unilaterally burden Merit Street with unsustainable debt, doing so either without notice or in direct violation of promises not to do so." What Happens Next? According to court filings, Merit Street Media is seeking unspecified damages from TBN, as well as the cost of its legal fees.

Man charged with killing former Minnesota House speaker is due back in court after delay
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'Your honor, I haven't really slept in about 12 to 14 days,' Boelter told the judge then. And he denied being suicidal. 'I've never been suicidal and I am not suicidal now.' Advertisement Sherburne County Sheriff Joel Brott, whose jail houses both county and federal prisoners, rejected Boelter's claims of poor conditions as absurd. 'He is not in a hotel. He's in jail, where a person belongs when they commit the heinous crimes he is accused of committing,' Brott said in a statement Friday. Boelter faces separate cases in federal and state court on charges of murder and attempted murder for what the state's chief federal prosecutor, Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, has called 'a political assassination' and 'a chilling attack on our democracy.' The feds are going first. Advertisement Authorities say Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot to death in their home in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park in the early hours of June 14 by a man disguised as a police officer who was driving a fake squad car. Boelter also allegedly shot and seriously wounded state Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette, earlier that morning at their home in nearby Champlin. The Hoffmans are recovering, but Hortman's golden retriever, Gilbert, was seriously injured and had to be euthanized. Boelter surrendered near his home the night of June 15 after what authorities called the largest search in Minnesota history, a hunt of around 40 hours. Atwal told the court last week that Boelter had been kept in what's known as a 'Gumby suit,' without undergarments, ever since his first court appearance June 16. She said the lights were on in his area 24 hours a day, doors slammed frequently, the inmate in the next cell would spread feces on the walls, and the smell would drift to Boelter's cell. The attorney said transferring him to segregation instead, and giving him a normal jail uniform, would let him get some sleep, restore some dignity, and let him communicate better. The judge granted the delay. Boelter's lawyers have declined to comment on the charges themselves, which could carry the federal death penalty. Thompson has said no decision has been made whether to seek it. Minnesota abolished its death penalty in 1911. But Attorney General Pam Bondi has said from the start that the Trump administration will be more aggressive in seeking capital punishment. Advertisement Prosecutors allege Boelter also stopped at the homes of two other Democratic lawmakers. They also say he listed dozens of other Democrats as potential targets, including officials in other states. Friends described Boelter as an evangelical Christian with politically conservative views. But prosecutors have declined so far to speculate on a motive. Former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris joined the mourners at the Hortmans' funeral last Saturday. Gov. Tim Walz, Harris's running mate on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket, eulogized Hortman as 'the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history.' Hortman served as speaker from 2019 until January. She then yielded the post to a Republican in a power-sharing deal after the House became tied in the 2024 elections, and became speaker emerita.
