— Will the battles this week between business interests and their traditional Republican allies have lasting consequences?

— What lessons can be learned from what happened in the elections in New Jersey and Virginia moving forward towards the 2022 midterms?

Jackson and Musick are joined by WVNN talk show host Michael Yaffee to get his thoughts on this week’s news.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at all of those who said there was no chance that the people could beat back the power brokers in Alabama politics.
