Josh and David kick things off discussing sponsor Wind Creek's positive community impact, leading into the broader debate on gambling's economic role in Alabama. They then break down the judge's denial of immunity for the Decatur police officer in the Steve Perkins shooting, highlighting the troubling timeline and circumstances revealed in the hearing.
After navigating some technical difficulties, the hosts welcome Representative Patrick Sellers to discuss the Democratic focus on shoring up public education funding amidst potential federal cuts and the state's push for voucher programs. Rep. Sellers also shares insights on legislative strategy as the minority party and the specific risks faced by rural schools.
The "rage segment" tackles the appalling mistaken deportation of a Maryland father and disturbing updates in the Tony Mitchell case, where a Walker County officer admitted to brutality. Josh and David critique the persistent lack of police accountability, the push for more officer protections despite recent incidents, and touch on Donald Trump's talk of a third term.
