Another year, another session and gambling is still illegal in Alabama, but just barely. This week Bryan sits down with 1819 News’ Editor in Chief Jeff Poor to dive into Alabama’s 2024 legislative session. Looming large in the conversation is the massive push for gambling and why it failed. Unfortunately, plenty of good legislation didn't pass due to the relentless efforts of a few legislators hellbent on foisting their terrible gambling bill upon the people of Alabama. But not all was lost, there were some great things that came out of the session, such as school choice and the appointment of the state health officer, which Jeff and Bryan dig into. In a republic, it’s critical that every citizen stays informed. This is a must-watch episode that will give you the knowledge and perspective you need! In this week's Overtime segment – Only available to 1819 News Members! – Bryan and Jeff discuss the importance of Attorney General Steve Marshall and Senator Tommy Tuberville attending the Trump trial in New York.

Lies are the native language of feminists, whether they call abortion healthcare or tell women they can't be fulfilled unless they’re stuffed in office cubicles, climbing the corporate ladder. On this episode, Bryan is joined by The Ladies of Liberty (Dixie & Trixie, aka Amie Beth Shaver and Allison Sinclair of Alabama Unfiltered Radio) to dive into the lies and long-term effects of feminism. Starting with the outrageous commercial California’s Governor Gavin Newsom made about Alabama's abortion laws, we unpack the rotten fruit of feminism. Much of the destruction of Western Civilization and the nation in which we live can be placed at the foot of their denial of nature and nature’s God. Overtime Segment: The Ladies of Liberty share how Title IX is much bigger than simply sports and how the Biden administration’s changes will have enormous ramifications.

Much of the cultural decadence in our land can be placed at the foot of those in authority who have failed to act. That could be pastors or elected officials. Pastor John Amanchukwu of Turning Point Faith has some strong language for those in authority that are failing to protect children, specifically in public school libraries. Anyone in authority who fails to keep that filth out of the hands of children is either a punk or a pervert, there is no other way to see it. They are either cowards or pedophiles. Pastor John shares his story of growing up in North Carolina and meeting his wife, whose father discipled him and introduced him to conservative politics and the idea of biblical faith being manifested in the political realm. Buckle up, this one is a doozy! Overtime Segment: Bryan and Pastor John discuss social engineering and the epidemic of fatherlessness in the black community, and how that epidemic is spreading to all communities in America and who is behind the spread.

The COVID lockdowns pulled back the curtain on every level of our society. We quickly found out who has the courage to stand on principle and who caved to the tyrannical forces of power. In a deeper way, we came to see what our leaders, friends, and family really valued. The results were deeply troubling. For many of us, our faith is our core strength and motivator. It shapes our every action and inaction. As faith is our guide, we need our pastors, our shepherds, to be courageous in the face of the prowling wolves. Unfortunately, we saw a lot of pastors and priests waver in the face of authoritarian policies. In the wake of the lockdowns, there’s been a quiet reshuffling as Christians seek out shepherds they can trust to stand strong. As such, the question of whether someone should find another church has become increasingly prevalent. Pastor Rich Lusk discusses this issue with Bryan Dawson, helping listeners evaluate and discern whether they should stay or find a new church home. It’s not an easy or light decision and, thankfully, Pastor Lusk gives some great tips and questions we should all consider. In this week's overtime segment Bryan and Rich Lusk discuss Christians in the political arena. Specifically, Pastor Lusk asks the question, “Where are our Dusty Deavers?” To join the fight and become an 1819 News Member and have access to all of our behind the scenes content, click here: https://1819news.com/membership

In the last few years, you’ve probably seen at least one viral tweet questioning Taylor Swift as a role model for young girls or calling out effeminate church leaders. Odds are that tweet probably came from social-media flamethrower Eric Conn.

Another congressional royal rumble is taking place due to the absurd redistricting last year. This time it's in the 2nd Congressional District of Alabama. Caroleene Dobson is the definition of a dark horse candidate, she has gone from unknown to prominence by traveling the state, speaking, and doing media hits. What everyone is noticing is that she is incredibly intelligent, has a deep grasp of every political problem facing our country, and, most importantly, has solutions. Most politicians and candidates speak in sound bites they hope pander to polling data, but that's not Caroleene. She engages in a 45 min conversation with Bryan and pulls no punches.

It's not hyperbole to state there is a very real group of people who want to enculturate your children into a culture of decadence and wickedness. The need for parents to protect and shield their children from these forces of evil has never been greater. Chris McKenna, the Founder of Protect Young Eyes, comes on to talk about recommended legislation, as well as resources his organization provides to help parents protect their children in this digital age.

Despite having a Republican governor and Republican supermajority in the Alabama House and Senate for over a decade, there had been no movement on school choice and education freedom. In fact, Gov Ivey had been diametricallyopposed to it, as has state House and Senate leadership, despite parental rights and education freedom being part of the ALGOP Party Platform. That all changed this year. Bryan brings on School Choice evangelist, Corey DeAngelis, to talk about the history of the school choice movement and why there has been such a shift across the nation with 13 states adopting Education Savings Accounts since COVID. They analyze the CHOOSE Act that the state House passed and compare it to other states. (Update: The Alabama Senate also passed the CHOOSE Act and Governor Ivey signed it into law shortly after this recording.) Corey also discusses the "bloodbath" on Super Tuesday in Texas for anti-school choice, NEA-sponsored, Republican-incumbent legislators his organization targeted.

Should children in the womb be granted the same protections as those living outside the womb? That is the question we ask Attorney Bradley Pierce who has authored the vast majority of the 'EqualProtection' bills filed across the country. Bradley lays out the legal argument for why he believes the unborn should be protected from homicide the same way any person outside the womb would be. Pierce outlines some of the common myths and frequently asked questions pertaining to legislation that would provide equal protection under the law to the unborn. Discussed as well, are some of the surprising ways the big, institutional pro-life groups have fought against great pro-life legislation. OVERTIME: IVF is one of the biggest stories in Alabama and America right now. Bradley Pierce, a lawyer who specializes in this space, walks us through what happened in Mobile and what the Alabama legislature's response has been – including attempts to grant full blow immunity despite some common-sense amendments that were tabled.

Imagine being told that Alabama was the gold standard of elections and election integrity only to find out that the “state of the art” voting tabulators take scissor cut reprinted absentee ballots. Like so many of us after the 2020 election, Angela Shepherd began to have questions surrounding the election process. Rather than becoming a keyboard warrior complaining on the internet about the glaring issues with the 2020 election across the nation, she felt led to actually do something, and to focus locally. Angela has become an Alabama election expert since then and comes on to share the story of her journey, including how she earned the name “crazy ballot lady” after proving the tabulators can’t decipher between real and fake ballots, and creating a piece of legislation, HB 259, that would require a post election audit of all general elections in the state of Alabama. https://votersforelectionintegrity.com/

You'll want to tune in to hear this conversation so you are aware of what the 2024 legislative session could have in store.
