The Unmitigated Fiasco at the Autauga-Prattville Public Library (Guests: APR's Jacob Holmes and Rep. Sam Jones)

Hi listeners! Do you have a question about Alabama politics? Consider emailing us a voice recording asking your question to our email, [email protected], and we may play it on air!

This week, Josh and David open with a discussion of the Alabama Legislature and their most recent absurd activity — banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at colleges and universities.

State Rep. Sam Jones zooms in to discuss the prospects of gambling and gaming legislation and the Legislature's anti-DEI bill.

In the close, the Alabama Political Reporter's Jacob Holmes zooms in to discuss his reporting about the public library insanity going on in Prattville, and Josh and David name this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week.
