Utah Politics with Bryan Schott

Utah Politics with Bryan Schott

Utah’s coronavirus cases are spiking, especially in Utah County. Gov. Gary Herbert moves Provo and Orem back to the “orange” restriction level in response while Utah County imposes a mask mandate.

Sen. Mitt Romney breaks the hearts of Democrats and liberals everywhere when he agreed to move ahead with the process to name a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who died last week.

President Donald Trump alarmed many when he would not commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose in the 2020 election.

And, more local college football teams are set to return to the gridiron as the Pac-12 and Mountain West conferences decide to play this season.

Host Bryan Schott is joined by radio host Scott Garrard from 1280/97.5 The Zone Radio to discuss the political news of the last week. Garrard is also the play-by-play voice for Utah State University Athletics.
