November 27, 2019PODCAST - Take 2: Talking politics at Thanksgiving, animal cruelty, insulin costs & more
A special holiday Take 2 podcast for Thanksgiving features 2News Anchor Heidi Hatch and former lawmakers Jim Dabakis (D) and Greg Hughes (R).
The three-member panel talks about Trump in Florida for Thanksgiving after being given the opportunity to testify next week in his impeachment hearings. Will he? Should he?
The trio tackles those questions and more:
Melania Trump was booed in Baltimore in her speech on opioids. Was the heckling warranted?

Federal Animal Cruelty Law: The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (PACT) is a bipartisan initiative that bans the intentional crushing, burning, drowning, suffocating, impalement or other serious harm to "living non-human mammals, birds, reptiles, or amphibians."

Insulin Cost: Utah Legislature takes on soaring prices.

Amber Alerts: Why can’t Utah get them right? This week's Amber Alert sent with 511 number and no information and last month's Amber Alert said, "GryTyt" and nothing else.

Debt Ceiling: Cliff coming Dec. 20. Sens. Mike Lee and Mitt Romney voted against the budget lifeline last week. Could we face another shutdown and over the holidays?

Thanksgiving: Is there anything you are thankful for that the party of which you don’t belong is doing something right?
