June 14, 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 any monuments remain standing, and what will be changed next?

— Why are liberal political elites and talking heads so quick to try to paint a movement to defund the police as something less terrible?

— Are former Senator Jeff Sessions and former Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville headed to a close election for the GOP U.S. Senate nod in Alabama?

Jackson and Handback are joined by Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle to discuss the city’s reaction to multiple protests and the potential removal of a Confederate monument in his city.

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.
