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

— Will new restrictions be placed on Alabama residents because of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus?

— Will gambling be discussed in the upcoming legislative session?

— Will abortion be banned outright in Alabama if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade?

Al.com’s Cameron Smith joins the show to talk about the Alabama U.S. Senate race, former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) hanging out at a Katie Britt fundraiser in Washington, D.C.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who have a problem with U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) using the term “Jihad Caucus” but look the other way when media darling U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) references the “Ku Klux Klan Caucus.”

Watch:

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 5-9AM weekdays on WVNN and on Talk 99.5 from 10AM to noon.
