September 4, 2022

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and 256 Today CEO Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— How are schools dealing with Alabama’s new law regarding education?

— President Joe Biden is trying to save the nation’s “soul”?

— Why did the Democratic candidate for governor lose a pro-life endorsement?

Former U.S. Attorney Jay Town joins the show to discuss the ongoing saga of the Mar-a-Lago raid, aldotcom’s insistence on defending meth addicts and everything else happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who are upset about the fact that the pandemic destroyed academic accomplishments across the nation but don’t want to see year-round school, which could close similar gaps that occur every summer.

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.
