Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and former U.S. Attorney Jay Town take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— With the Omicron variant of the coronavirus booming, have we accepted that this is something we have to live with?

— Why is Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran going so hard at legislators over constitutional carry?

— Will yet another ruling by a judge get Alabama’s prison where they need to before a federal government takeover?

Mecca Musick, regular host of “Alabama Politics This Week,” joins the show to talk about her trip to Texas for the Alabama game and everything else going on around Alabama politics.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who still want to think shaming people into getting vaccines is a good strategy.

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.
