Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and guest host Frank Ward take you through this week’s biggest political stories, including:

— Are there any signs the shutdown is almost over?

— Will anything come of the investigation into a tech CEO’s funded disinformation campaign?

— What were the best and worst stories in Alabama politics in 2018?

Jackson and Ward are joined by Congressman Mo Brooks to discuss the government shutdown and the border wall.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” directed at folks who don’t get that the stock market is not the economy and you can’t cite Trump as the reason for its ups and downs as it benefits you politically.
