February 20, 2022

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

— Why is Governor Kay Ivey attacking Canada over mandates while she has refused to do anything about mandates in her state?

— Do the new filings from special counsel John Durham’s finally confirm that former President Donald Trump was right about being spied on?

— Why do some people insist on making false claims of voter suppression, and why aren’t those that do it held accountable?

al.com columnist Cameron Smith joins the show to discuss Ivey’s political chances and everything happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who think the dust-up between U.S. Senate candidates Katie Britt and U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) is something worthy of discussion and not a sad attempt to create news.

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.
