John Curtis for governor? Host Bryan Schott digs into the Politico report that U.S. Sen. John Curtis is exploring a run for governor in 2028. Curtis has name ID, money, and nothing to lose (he doesn't have to give up his Senate seat to run). Bryan sizes up the emerging field, including Jason Chaffetz, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, and Speaker Mike Schultz—and explains why Curtis's entry reshapes the whole race.
The Box Elder data center fallout. Kevin O'Leary is losing it. Bryan updates listeners on the MIDA-backed data center project in Box Elder County, the viral misinformation spreading about Gov. Spencer Cox, and why the people pushing this project don't seem to have a tenant lined up yet.
Gerrymandering, Prop 4, and the Blake Moore primary. Bryan explains why the real stakes of the Prop. 4 fight are in the legislative maps, not the congressional ones, and why the Moore vs. Lisonbee primary could be a bellwether for how angry GOP voters actually are about redistricting.
Plus, a candidate drops out of a state school board race over a fight about...a Facebook page, and Salt Lake City Council member Eva Lopez Chavez is out after buying a house outside her district.
