On this week's show, Josh (@Josh_Moon) and David open the show discussing the role Alabama lawmakers played in last week’s insurrection and the unbelievable hypocrisy of Republicans.
In the guest segment today, Rep. Barbara Drummond is on to discuss the catastrophic impact COVID-19 has had on her community and family (she was on her way to her 19th funeral) and how the virus has reshaped the focus of the upcoming legislative session.
We close the pod with a discussion of the Startrek Fleet — the U.S. Space Command HQ — coming to Alabama and the hesitancy in some communities to take the COVID vaccine. Oh, and we didn't forget the Rightwing Nut of the Week.
