Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Dr. Waymon Burke take you through this week’s biggest political stories including:

Candidate for State Senate Sam Givhan joins Jackson and Burke to discuss the his candidacy and the state of play in the Republican and Democrat Gubernatorial debate.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at both sides of the pointless Confederate monument debate.
