June 21, 2020

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Executive Committee member Lisa Handback take you through this week’s biggest political stories, including:

— Will other cities join Montgomery in ordering citizens to wear masks with so many new COVID-19 cases?

— Will Trump join Tommy Tuberville for a Mobile rally, and will it matter?

— Will Alabama House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels (D-Huntsville) succeed in defunding Confederate Memorial Park?

Jackson and Handback are joined by FM Talk 106.5’s Sean Sullivan to discuss the U.S House race in Alabama’s First Congressional District, its impact on the U.S. Senate race and the monument controversy.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at everyone who has a problem with police officers being portrayed positively in the media as if it is a bad thing.

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