Radio talk show hosts Dale Jackson and Michael Yaffee take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Do the latest developments in Ukraine move us closer to another world war?

— With all the movement in the U.S. Senate race, including former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) in question, is the race still a three-way race?

— Who is to blame for gas prices and gas taxes in Alabama? What, if anything, can be done about them?

Talk 99.5’s Tim Melton joins the show to discuss lottery, gambling, Trump’s endorsement of Mo Brooks and everything happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at everyone who wants foreign governments to provide more oil to the United States while we leave the oil under our feet in the ground.

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.
