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

— Was Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict about this case or this country?

— Will Alabama’s gambling bill see a lot of changes as it is debated in the Alabama House of Representatives?

— Why are Democrats trying to discuss recreational marijuana while legalized medical marijuana is closer to becoming a reality than it ever has been in Alabama?

Jackson and Musick are joined by Talk 99.5’s Matt Murphy to discuss the issues facing the state of Alabama this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at NBA superstar LeBron James, who needs to accept that he has a responsibility to be smarter about his activism.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 7-11 AM weekdays on WVNN and on Talk 99.5 from 10AM to noon.
