Katie Britt’s Play to Donald Trump (Guest: Marilyn Lands, House District 10 Candidate)
Josh and David open with the ongoing reaction to Sen. Katie Britt's GOP response to the State of the Union — and Scarlett Johansson's portrayal of her on Saturday Night Live. They also discuss Britt's distortion of a sex-trafficking case to criticize President Joe Biden on the border.
Our guest this week is Marilyn Lands, the Democratic candidate in House District 10. They discuss her campaign, the Alabama Legislature, and the attacks targeting a transgender woman employed at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center's Space Camp.
They close with a discussion of former state Rep. John Rogers' guilty plea in a kickback scheme involving former Rep. Fred Plump, and this week's Rightwing Nut(s) of the Week.

You can also send it to us on Facebook and Twitter. Or by emailing us a voice recording to our email with your question, and we may play it on air.
Either way, make sure you include your name (first name is fine) and the city or county where you live.
