Show Notes

As a divided Congress struggles to keep the federal government open and funded, our expert panel examines how bipartisanship can work in Washington.

The members of Utah's federal delegation have secured some key committee assignments. We examine how that will impact the Beehive State's standing on the national stage.

Plus, Utah's newest Senator said this week he does not intent to be a rubber stamp for President-elect Donald Trump's political nominees. We discuss the outsized influence John Curtis could have in a closely-divided Congress.

And new polling reveals how confident Utah voters are in the 2024 election results.

Host Jason Perry is joined by Greg Bell, former Utah Lieutenant Governor — Leah Murray, director of the Olene Walker Institute of Politics and Public Service at Weber State University — and Frank Pignanelli, a Utah-based attorney and political commentator. —
