February 27, 2022

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and political consultant Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Russia goes into Ukraine — how far does this go?

— The Alabama Legislature served up some red meat for the conservative base. Will this make up for their failures to reform education in Alabama?

— Will rising gas prices remind voters of the gas tax increase and impact Governor Kay Ivey’s reelection chances?

FM Talk 106.5 FM’s Jeff Poor joins the show to react to the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s decision to make a basketball team forfeit a game instead of giving them reasonable accommodation, the Alabama GOP U.S. Senate race and everything happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at Ivey, multiple Alabama school systems and every leader that has failed to end mask mandates in Alabama schools despite all the evidence.

Watch:

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 5-9AM weekdays on WVNN and on Talk 99.5 from 10AM to noon.
