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

— Will the Alabama Legislature consider a gas tax holiday like other states?

— Will the Biden administration be successful in its effort to pin inflation and higher gas prices on Russian President Vladimir Putin?

— Now that U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) has been dismissed from U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) frivolous lawsuit, will the media stop implying he caused the riot at the U.S. Capitol?

Alabama Media Group’s Cameron Smith joins the show to discuss Alabama Republicans collapsing on anti-Critical Race Theory legislation, gas taxes and everything happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at everyone who applauds big business and big tech for targeting Russian citizens with denials of services because they are mad at Russia. He reminds them that they will turn these actions against average Americans one day.

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.
