PODCAST: Take 2 – SLC mayoral race, e-cigs, racial profiling, foreign intel and more



 Episode 18 of the Take 2 podcast featured 2News Anchor/Reporter Heidi Hatch hosting former Speaker of the House Greg Hughes (R) and guest Maura Carabello of The Exoro Group.

The panel dived into the Salt Lake City mayoral race and if ranked-choice voting could help in the election.

Other topics discussed included:

  • Gov. Gary R.  Herbert is in Europe this week with a delegation on a trade mission. Are these trade missions important or fun and games?
  • Sen. Mitt Romney is pushing a ban on e-cigs in schools nationwide. Is this worth his while?
  • A 10-year-old boy had a gun pointed at him by a Woods Cross police officer. Is this a case of wrong place, wrong time? Was it a bias against a black child?
  • Trump’s foreign intel admission: He’s cool with it but should we all be cool with it? Romney says it’s “simply unthinkable” to accept foreign dirt on rivals: “I ran for president twice. I ran for governor once. I ran for Senate twice. I’ve never had any attempt made by a foreign government. … Had that occurred I would’ve contacted the FBI immediately.”
  • Mexico tariffs: The President made a deal or was it all smoke and mirrors?
