June 6, 2021

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

— Is there anyone that can beat Governor Kay Ivey on the Republican or Democratic side of the aisle?

— Is there any chance a vaccine lottery or sweepstakes could happen in the city of Birmingham? Would Attorney General Steve Marshall challenge it?

— Is Dr. Anthony Fauci in danger of being fired by the Biden administration after his emails show a difference between his public and private thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic?

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” about the deal he has struck with Huntsville City Councilman Devyn Keith to create a series of public service announcements. The PSAs are intended to encourage people to stop resisting law enforcement in order to cut down on negative police interactions.

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.
