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

— How will Alabamians view the social justice march that was led by Nick Saban and his football team on campus in Tuscaloosa?

— Was the Alabama AFL/CIO justified in pulling its endorsement from GOP congressional candidate Barry Moore over his support of Kyle Rittenhouse?

— Should a footballl game in North Alabama have been postponed because a few students, not football players, made inappropriate social media posts?

Jackson and Handback are joined by U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) to discuss the 2020 election, future coronavirus stimulus and more.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” aimed at the campaigns of U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) and former Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville, who are starting to ramp up their TV spending with ads about personality and national issues.
