Round 2 with the Center for Security Policy’s Tommy Waller and Kyle Shideler! With the border crisis raging and threats of WWIII looming, national security is once again becoming a front and center issue. Americans have realized we are not secure abroad or at home, and they want strong, wise leadership to take action. This week Bryan sits down with two gentlemen who devote much of their lives to keeping America safe and strong. Tommy Waller is the CEO of the Center for Security Policy (CSP) and he's joined by Kyle Shideler, the director and senior analyst for homeland security and counterterrorism at CSP. The mission of CSP is to provide uncompromising analysis, unflinching leadership, and unconventional solutions to keep America secure. In Episode 2, we learn from Waller and Shideler about two key threats to the United States’ security. As we all know, China is both a major trading partner and a rising adversary for global power. The threats are numerous, from outright war over Taiwan or trade routes to CCP members infiltrating our government and institutions, procuring technology, and bribing bureaucrats and elected officials. From the threat of China, the conversation turns to the American power grid. Again, the threats are multiple. As the Left pushes for the transition to solar- and wind-generated power while diminishing reliable power generation, the grid is already weakened. But then we must consider the possibilities of cyberattacks against it or an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) attack that could hobble or even take down the grid for months – or a lot longer. If you enjoyed Episode 1 with Tommy Waller and Kyle Shideler, you’ll enjoy this podcast immensely! OVERTIME SEGMENT: Bryan Dawson and CSP’s Tommy Waller and Kyle Shideler discuss the border crisis and what it means for national security.

With the border crisis raging and threats of WWIII looming, national security is once again becoming a front and center issue. Everyday Americans have realized we are not secure abroad or at home and they want strong, wise leadership to take action. This week Bryan sits down with two gentlemen who devote much of their lives to keeping America safe and strong. Tommy Waller is the CEO of the Center for Security Policy (CSP) and he's joined by Kyle Shideler, the Director and Senior Analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism at CSP. The mission of CSP is to provide uncompromising analysis, unflinching leadership, and unconventional solutions to keep America secure. We are going to hear the story of CSP and some incredible examples of the work they are doing in this two-episode series. In Episode 1, Tommy and Kyle share their stories of how they got involved in the work of national security policy and how their unique journeys prepared them to help keep America safe. Waller and Shideler go on to share about domestic threats we face and how Antifa ranks high on the list. The conversation weaves through the deep and interesting history of the radical, Marxist movement and how CSP is working with state legislators to draft legislation keeping Antifa's efforts to dox law enforcement at bay. The discussion is as entertaining and engaging as it is educational and informative. You’ll be glued to your screen and on the edge of your seat!

You’ve probably noticed the rapid decline of legacyjournalism in recent years. It’s almost on life support. Over the last few decades mainstream journalism devolved into radical, leftist political activism. The fastest way to become a Marxist in America is by going to a “J School” at a major university. Unfortunately, what you traditionally saw within conservative journalism was rewriting press releases and responding to liberal mainstream talking points – not new and unique reporting. Honest, fresh journalism is a necessity to a free society, so what does that mean for the future of news and media? This week CEO Bryan Dawson sits down with Ben Zeisloft, editor-in-chief of The Republic Sentinel (a relatively new national news publication making waves), to discuss challenges for the future of journalism in America as well as recent changes that should give us hope. Zeisloft left The Daily Wire to become the editor of The Republic Sentinel and has great insight into what is taking place in mainstream media, conservative journalism, and even Christian media that is worth hearing. As an example of the need for expanded, independent media, Dawson and Zeisloft discuss the story The Republic Sentinel broke about Captain Bradley Geary, a Navy SEAL BUD/S instructor who was blamed for the death of a trainee in Hell Week. Geary is facing discipline and possible separation from the Navy. As the attorney representing Geary contended, “the mishandling of the Mullen investigations points toward a culture of minimal accountability among top military brass, who in his experience have often preferred to shift responsibility for leadership failures to those under their command.” Christian legaladvocacynonprofit Stand With Warriors and others are financially assisting Geary’s legal defense. Like the story of Geary above, there are many more that should be told – both in Alabama and across America. The need for independent, honest journalism cannot be emphasized enough. Learn more by listening to the podcast! Overtime: On this Overtime segment, Dawson and Zeisloft discuss Meg Basham’s Shepherds for Sale and its implications. The Left has long tried to cloak socialism with Christian virtues and labels. Have they also succeeded in infiltrating much of the Evangelical church in America? Have a listen!

Tim Harry was born in a rural Alabama town and the thought of running a multimillion-dollar, executive security firm never crossed his mind as a child, but that is exactly where he's landed as the Founder and CEO of Severance Security. Going to foreign countries to rescue children from slavery was also not something he saw in his future, but as an active board member of Children's Rescue Initiative he has found his mission field. Severance Security protects everything from high profile individuals to beachfront condos – and they do it with excellence. Through his work, Harry saw the startling statistics of suicide rates in veterans. He also saw that within a mile of every major mass shooting there was a veteran who could have done something about it. Armed with this knowledge, Harry set out to give veterans a sense of purpose by using their skills and training to protect people, places, and things that need protecting. Hearing the story of Tim Harry coming from obscurity to founding an executive security firm and saving children from sex slavery is an inspirational one you’ll want to hear! Overtime: Bryan sits down with Tim, who trained snipers for some of the largest contract security firms in the world, to hear his thoughts on the Trump assassination attempt.

If you had any doubt that evil forces intervened in the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden, the Twitter Files should have rid you of those doubts. The fact that big tech worked overtime to protect Biden from negative coverage and increase false accusations and narratives about Trump was plain for all to see in the evidence Elon Musk provided independent journalists following his purchase of the massive social media platform. Not to mention the overwhelming evidence of federal agencies working hand and glove with big tech to make sure Biden won. Oh, and don't forget the hundreds of millions of dollars in ""Zuck Bucks"" that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg poured into putting ballot boxes in inner cities in swing states that were used in a massive ballot harvesting ballot stuffing operation. TIME magazine also ran a story where they basically admitted to, and described, their collaborative efforts to keep Trump out of the White House and their reasons justifying the efforts. So that begs the questions: ""What is the plan to make sure 2024 is as free from election chicanery as possible?"" This week we sat down with former Trump attorney and author of the book Stealing Your Vote, Christina Bobb, to discuss what needs to be done to make sure election interference is kept to a minimum in the 2024 election. Bobb is the RNC's Election Integrity Counsel and was facing life in prison for speaking out about the inconsistencies in the 2020 election. In fact, she is still facing those charges and continues to fight for election integrity every single day despite the intimidation tactics. Take a listen, you will be inspired by her courage and brought up to speed on all things election integrity for 2024.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” This famous quote is from President Ronald Reagan and is the focal point of a new book authored by Brilyn Hollyhand whose mission is to awaken the next generation to conservative values and what it will take for them to secure freedom in America for their children and grandchildren. Brilyn sits down with Bryan Dawson to discuss this new book as well as other current events in the national political realm. As the Chairman of the RNC's Youth Advisory Council, Brilyn gives first hand feedback on the response from Gen Z to the JD Vance nomination for VP, the assassination attempt, and more.

Alabama's Lieutenant Governor, Will Ainsworth, recently returned from his trip to the Farnborough International Airshow in London and he has some exciting reports of what folks there were saying about Alabama and our potential to be THE destination state for aerospace companies looking to move or expand. Dawson and Ainsworth also talk about the importance of the trades and preparing Alabama students for opportunities in the trades. Not everyone is meant to go to college and work in finance, there are incredible opportunities to make a wonderful living and find meaning in work that doesn't require a degree but does require training. Ainsworth updates us on his plan to get students trained in the trades before they leave high school so they can move right into a career. And finally, Dawson and Ainsworth dive into the desecration of the Lord's Supper during the 2024 Olympic opening ceremony broadcast to 28.6 million viewers. Was this a giant misinterpretation of Greek Mythology sprinkled with pedophilia, or was this a clear attack on the Christian faith that should cause believers everywhere to stand up before there is nothing left to fight for? Tune in to hear what they say. OVERTIME SEGMENT: Trump Assassination Attempt to the Coronation of Kamala Harris: The craziest 2 weeks in American Politics.

The last four to five weeks could be the most monumental in American politics. During the first 2024 presidential debate, the whole world was confronted with the undeniable reality of a sitting president with very serious health problems. Two weeks later, there was an attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. The next day Republicans from all over the nation gathered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the 2024 Republican National Convention. There, Republicans made Donald Trump the official nominee and he then named J.D. Vance as his running mate. The energy of the 2024 RNC was beyond electric with incredible speakers from Hulk Hogan to Tucker Carlson, performances from Kid Rock, and President Donald Trump introduced by UFC founder Dana White. It was quite the change from RNC conventions of yore. In this week's episode, 1819 News’ Bryan Dawson sits down with ALGOP Chairman John Wahl to discuss the convention, what it means that Trump chose JD Vance, and what they each believe happened on that fateful day in Butler, PA.

With the level of incompetence we see in governing bodies across our state and nation, it becomes challenging to tell if the insidious things taking place are coming from a place of malicious intent or the result of the government being run by complete idiots. Both are scary prospects, but the ladies from Moms for Liberty really believe it is the former. They join us on the podcast this week to discuss what they are doing to fight back. COVID was a tragic time for our country but in numerous ways it opened the eyes of countless Americans to how bad things had gotten, particularly in public schools. Conservatives, by and large, just want to work, raise their families, and be left alone. But as the saying goes, "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you". Emily Jones and Rebecca Watson sensed this war, each in their own way, and responded by starting local Alabama chapters of Moms for Liberty to educate, unify, and empower parents to protect their parental rights at all levels of government. We hear the story of how this all came about and dive into Title IX, unlicensed therapy sessions, and more. OVERTIME SEGMENT: The Children Can't Read, Let's Lower the Standard Everyone knows the odds of children succeeding in life greatly suffers if they can't read by 3rd grade. Well, Alabama has found a solution... Apparently, they are lowering the standards so it looks like more kids are reading by the end of 3rd grade when really they’re not.

Christian Nationalism is one of the most hotly debated subjects in America right now with liberals using the term to demonize any form of government that reflects Christian values and mores. This week, 1819 News: The Podcast is publishing the Overtime segment our CEO Bryan Dawson recorded with Pastor Douglas Wilson that digs right into the topic. It’s just too good not to share. Not long ago, Western civilization and America believed that the Church provided moral guidance while the State had the duty of establishing law and order which reflected those moral precepts. Some will say that to do so creates a theocracy because religious values would inform the state’s actions. What seems to be forgotten in our times is that there is no such thing as a “values-neutral” government. All laws and actions are informed by values, by a moral order. While the Left’s moral order is not rooted in a religious tradition like Christianity or Islam, it is still a moral order that they are working hard to enshrine into law, forcing it upon the people through the power of government. As uncomfortable as it may be for some Americans, we must realize that a moral order will be reflected in our federal, state, and local governments. The question is, “Which one?” If you’ve wanted to learn more about Christian Nationalism and the reality of values- based government, this podcast is the one for you. Plus!

From ads to political rhetoric and real violence, you’ve probably noticed racism is in vogue these days so long as it's hatred and intolerance towards white people, specifically white males. This week, 1819 News CEO Bryan Dawson sits down with Jeremy Carl, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and author of the hit book The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism is Tearing America Apart to discuss the one subject we all see but aren’t supposed to talk about. Dawson and Carl discuss the manufactured baby boom of “Native Americans” on the census due to Whites selecting Native American instead of White to gain better treatment; the deleterious effects of anti-white hiring policies on healthcare, our national security, and our military readiness; and even what really happened with white-flight. Is the racism and hatred aimed at a lack of melanin or is it because “whiteness” is perceived to represent Christianity and Western Civilization? If you’re curious, you’ll want to listen. The answers to these questions will surprise you and leave you wondering what can be done. Thankfully, Carl gives some great thoughts on solutions moving forward. Overtime Segment: You might call this the Beautiful Losers segment as we dig into conservatives love affair with losing. Bryan and Carl discuss the failures of American conservatism as a movement, and why it is we get destroyed in the culture war.

As technology continues to rapidly advance in its power and abilities, the need to think critically about moral ramifications of these advancements is key. IVF is one of those advancements that needs more discussion, particularly for those individuals and families who desire to have children but also want to honor God and do what is right by Him. This week Bryan sits down with Jeff Durbin, a prominent pastor in the world of fighting back against abortion, to hear his incredible story. After overcoming addiction, he became a nationally known pastor fighting against the culture of death. Pastor Jeff's story of devolution from a famed martial artist featured in films such as Mortal Combat and Ninja Turtles to a life of addiction is riveting. Even more incredible is how God saved him and called him to minister to recovering addicts. With God’s blessing, he eventually turned a recovery center in the Phoenix area into a booming church. Bryan and Jeff dive into the hotly debated subject of IVF. Many individuals see IVF as a good thing because it helps families have children, but that fails to acknowledge the actual process and the moral ramifications for those who believe life starts at conception. From the IVF conversation the two move to a discussion about what it will actually take to permanently end abortion in Alabama, Arizona, and America. Overtime Segment: One of the big questions many people have in the church is whether God's Law still applies today, and if so, how. Pastor Jeff unpacks this subject better than anyone and you will be edified by the conversation. To join the fight and become an 1819 News Member, click here: https://1819news.com/membership.

If you’re following 1819 News, you’ve heard the horror stories of pornographic books placed in the children's section of public libraries across Alabama. You’ve probably asked yourself if this is really happening, too. It is. Deviant ideologues are pushing books containing explicit writing and images that encourage children to question their gender and perform homosexual acts with one another. These people are purposefully corrupting the innocence of children. This week, we hit this disgusting travesty head-on as we sit down with the founder of Clean Up Alabama, Hannah Rees, to hear the story of how one angry momma bear made a huge difference for her community and, ultimately, the entire state. Over time Rees’ leadership attracted an incredible group of warriors and partnerships with activist organizations across the state. But it can’t be forgotten that the fight started with her deciding she wasn't going to allow this literature to remain on the shelves of the Prattville Public Library – no matter what it took. This podcast is one of the most encouraging stories of victory for conservatives in Alabama. Hannah talks about the wins, how they were accomplished, and the work that still needs to be done. Overtime Segment: Bryan and Hannah discuss why just Momma Bears are getting it done and ask, “Where are the men?!?” Plus, Hannah shares the importance of “following through”, as she likes to say.

When people think of missions, the images that usually come to mind are romanticized versions of what really takes place. Ministry is messy and missions even more so. Giving yourself wholly to the service of others always comes with perils. But now imagine a ministry that sees your family sacrificing for and growing close to people who end up shot or dead because of gang violence. That isn't on the flyers at the North American Missions Board, but it is a reality for those called to bring the message of Jesus Christ to inner cities. This week, missionary Bryan Kelly shares what it’s like on the front lines of urban evangelism as the founder and executive director of Common Ground, a non-profit that spearheads inner-city ministry in Montgomery. He shares the incredible work he and his family are involved in as well as some of the stories you don't usually think about when it comes to ministry. The good news is Common Ground hopes to expand its efforts. Kelly fills us in on those plans and the opportunity he sees. As the Good Book shares, “The harvest is plentiful…” Listening to this podcast, you will be encouraged by the fruit of the harvest Kelly has seen over the years while also sobered by the stories of a world most Alabamians hope to avoid.

The Great Commission given by Jesus in the New Testament states: "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me, go therefore and make disciples of all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded.” Have you ever thought about what things would look like if we were successful inthe Great Commission? What if this nation realized that all authority in Heaven and Earth belonged to Christ the King and we observed all that he commanded us? What would Alabama look like? Not long ago, Western civilization and America believed that the Church provided moral guidance while the State had the duty of establishing law and order which reflected those moral precepts. Some will say that to do so creates a theocracy because religious values would inform the state’s actions. What seems to be forgotten in our times is that there is no such thing as a “values-neutral” government. All laws and actions are informed by values, by a moral order.

As uncomfortable as it may be for some Americans, we must realize that a moral order will be reflected in our federal, state, and local governments. The question is, “Which one?” This week Bryan sits down with America's most controversial pastor to discuss what it would take to re-create a Christian civilization, if the Bible calls for it, and how Christian education plays into it. Overtime:If you saw Pastor Wilson on Tucker Carlson recently, the episode was titled "The Christian Nationalist they warned you about!"" There is perhaps no one who has leaned more into the label Christian Nationalist than Pastor Douglas Wilson. In this Overtime we ask him to define his terms and tell us why he believes Christian Nationalism is the path forward.

They touch on the Ethics Reform Legislation, Title IX, Energy/Electric Cars, and the Legislative session.

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!

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!

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. This week Bryan and Eric, who hosts Hard Men Podcast and co-hosts The Kings Hall Podcast, discuss how despite churches located on every corner, they seem impotent at preventing the cultural onslaught and chaos wreaking havoc across our land. Dedicating his life to the task of cultural renewal, Eric shares what caused him to finally leave the world of firearms journalism to start New Christendom Press and enter the biblical-masculinity influencer space.Hint: It had to do with effeminate pastors...
