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

— Will Mike Durant’s entry into the U.S. Senate race change the race significantly?

— Businesses, small and large, ask Governor Kay Ivey not to interfere with the vaccination mandates some Alabama businesses are implementing.

— Will Birmingham’s guaranteed income experiment lead to more cities following suit?

Jackson and Musick are joined by radio talk show host Jeff Poor from FM Talk 106.5 in Mobile to get his thoughts on this week’s news.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at Governor Ivey by once again imploring her to act to protect Alabama’s citizens’ jobs.
