September 5, 2021

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

— How are people reacting to President Joe Biden’s handling of Afghanistan?

— Do new polls show a tightening race for U.S. Senate between U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) and Katie Britt?

— Will Alabama legislators actually move on opt-outs for masks and vaccines?

Jackson and Musick are joined by FM Talk 106.5’s Sean Sullivan to discuss the issues facing the state of Alabama this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at those who keep suggesting Texas is out of line for their various decisions made by their elected legislature. He argues how that rhetoric has backfired.

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.
