Take 2 Podcast: The podcast is back

Host: Heidi Hatch

Guests: Maura Carabello with Exoro Group and Mike Schultz, Utah House Speaker

After a July break we return to a whole new political world: Less than 4 weeks since an assassination attempt at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One person dead, 2 seriously injured, Trump escapes with his life -grazed by a bullet. The RNC energized in a way not seen in years. The high-pressure campaign to get President Biden to step down successful. Within Hours VP Harris had her parties backing with no competition and record-breaking fundraising. Minnesota Governor Walz backed by Bernie Sanders chosen. The stock market jittery amid recession concerns as the world watches the Israel and Iran as an all at war in the middle East looms.

At Home- Greg Hughes Leaving the Take 2 Podcast after 5 years to Host afternoons on KNRS with Rod Arquette. Thanks for the memories
