You’ve probably noticed the rapid decline of legacy journalism 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, ...

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 individua...

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 h...

“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 ...

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 way...

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.

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 t...

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 mes...

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 in the Great Commission? What if this nation realized that all authority in Heaven and Earth belonged to Christ the King and w...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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 diametrically opposed 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 choic...
