Jackson and Burke are joined by media consultant and former television anchor Mark Thornhill to discuss the state of the media in the next two years of the Trump presidency.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” where he asks about what happened to Governor Kay Ivey’s “Alabama Sentry Program.”
