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

— Can Democrats get to President Donald Trump by going after Attorney General William Barr?

— Are abortion comments by Rep. John Rogers (D-Birmingham) a new low for Alabama Democrats?

— Has U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) given up his re-election campaign to focus on getting a job with Joe Biden?

Jackson and Burke are joined by Secretary of State John Merrill to discuss Alabama’s strides in voting rights and turnout, and his thoughts on the 2020 U.S. Senate race.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at local media outlets that completely ignored Rep. Rogers’ offensive abortion comments until the national media picked it up.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 7-11 am weekdays on WVNN.
