With the recent influx of Haitians to Alabama and other states, there have been a number of Christian talking heads shaming other Christians into accepting open-ended immigration.Using selective Bible verses, these influencers claim immigration is a good, Christian principle despite the fact current foreigners brought into the country are quite often hostile towards Christian society and the American way of life.
In response, 1819 News CEO Bryan Dawson is joined on this podcast with Pastor Rich Lusk of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama, to discuss whether a Christian is morally obligated to support open-ended immigration. His answer will surprise you!
Beyond refugee resettlement, this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast digs into several key questions related to nations and immigration: What is a nation? What does a nation need to survive? What roles do culture, religion, common language, and things of that nature play in maintaining a nation? And what should be expected of immigrants to a nation?
The conversation doesn’t stop there, as Dawson and Lusk consider whether allowing third-world aliens into our nation en masse is really Christian charity, or if it is civilizational suicide. After all, doesn’t history show immigration without assimilation is invasion? So, what happens to a Christian society when it becomes the minority?If you want answers to those questions, you’ll want to give this podcast a listen!
OVERTIME: We've all heard the phrase, "Diversity is our strength." But is that really true? Pastor Rich Lusk combats this narrative and rebukes the myth of multiculturalism. He also explains where this thinking came from and what we must do to combat it.

One of the most incredible ministries in the world is located right here in Alabama.
The Big Oak Ranch has been providing a home to children who need a chance for 50 years now.
The circumstances that lead each child to Big Oak Ranch are unique. But one aspect of their stories is the same: they have known abuse, neglect, and abandonment by the very people who should have loved them above all. Prior to coming to Big Oak Ranch, the children there have suffered in ways that are impossible to imagine. At the ranch, they find hope. They find a loving, Christian home -- often for the first time. They find a chance to live out God's plan for their lives.
This week, Big Oak Ranch CEO, Brodie Croyle, joins Bryan to tell the 50 year story of the ranch.
You'll hear incredible stories of children rescued and the gospel preached.
The obvious questions that arise upon hearing the story are; How can you multiply the success of the ranch, and what happens to the children after they graduate.
Brodie has a great answer and talks about the work they are doing with Planting Oaks to multiply what God has done at the ranch to over 30 states. Each time the ranch added a home, they added beds. Adding is good, but multiplying is better and the goal for Planting Oaks is to multiply the ministry and so far they have helped launch 109 new ranches serving over 6,500 children.
They also talk about Kelly Croyle's passion, Ascend, which is a ministry dedicated to spiritual, professional, and personal life preparation for the young adults of Big Oak Ranch. This is the answer to what happens when the children graduate, and after hearing about the ministry you'll wonder if you can send your young adults there.
This is a powerful episode sharing one of the most incredible stories in Alabama.

Also, Brodie needs your help. The episode we did with his dad, John Croyle, is the most downloaded episode in 1819 News' history. Brodie thinks he can beat him. Don't let Brodie get sacked, please like, share, and comment to get this competition going!!
In this week's overtime segment, Brodie Croyle talks NIL and what it is going to do to the culture of collegiate sports, but more than that, the culture of young men across the country.

Everyone loves a good story, and there has never been a more riveting one playing out right before our very eyes than the story of Donald Trump's attempt to save America.
From him coming down the escalator in June of 2016 to being shot in the head on July 13th, 2024, at the rally in Butler, PA, it has been an incredible ride. Throughout Trump’s time in politics, Americans have watched the D.C. Regime – both Republicans and Democrats – attempt to destroy him at every turn through media, bureaucracy, lawfare, and more.
Dinesh D'Souza is no stranger to political turmoil himself as he, too, has been at war with the Regime as a political commentator and policy guru turned filmmaker and storyteller.
On this podcast, Dinesh shares with Bryan the making of his latest docudrama capturing the story of Trump's fight against the Regime for the last eight years.
Here's how the film’s producers describe it: “This film is a journey to discover the real Donald Trump, and to make the casefor him as a man and as a leader. It begins with a puzzle. How can a man be so intensely loved and hated? Not since Lincoln have we had such a divisive figure on the national scene. The film also considers a danger that Lincoln warned about—the rise in America of a tyrant like Caesar who would promote lawlessness and subvert the foundations of our constitutional republic. Is Trump such a man?”
The movie even includes a one-on-one interview with Trump shortly after he was shot in Pennsylvania.
Bryan and Dinesh dig into all the high-stakes drama we’ve seen over the last eight years, the making of the movie, and more. If you’re following politics closely this election season, you’ll want to listen to this podcast!

Buckle up, because this podcast is going to take you for a ride.
The influx of Haitian migrants in Alabama has been the lead story on 1819 News for over a month now. Haitian immigrants started popping up in Albertville and Athens, then in Enterprise and Sylacauga. Springfield, Missouri is getting all the national headlines but it's happening right here in Alabama. Many of the city and county leaders, as well as the media outlets, have resorted to calling the citizens racist rather than trying to deal with the situation head on, and have shut down their opportunity to speak at city council meetings.
This week, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall sits down with Bryan for their quarterly update and they tackle the immigration conversation. How are these people getting here? What can be done? Are they actually legal?
The crime in Montgomery reached a fever pitch over the summer, but things seem to be getting better and AG Marshall talks about what his team has done to reduce the murder and violent crime rate in the capital city.
They also discuss the anti-constitutional rhetoric that pours out of Kamala every time she makes unscripted comments like her recent one where she stated citizens have a right to bear arms but the government has a right to come into your house and make sure the weapons are being used responsibly. Yikes.
University of Alabama Birmingham was recently in the news. They are not only bragging about being one of the most LGBTQ friendly universities in the nation and promoting the fact that they use DEI to pick doctors and med students instead of making those decisions based on merit. They were recently exposed for taking a six figure tax payer funded grant to study vaginal health in transgender men.
I'm sure the UAB donors and alumni are really excited about the direction of the University.
-OVERTIME: LOCAL Alabama, Mom's for Liberty, and ADF have been putting on several Town Halls all over the state featuring AG Marshal and Rep Susan DuBose. The purpose of these Town Halls is to inform the public of how bad the Title IX changes really are and that has caused floods of protestors to show up to the meetings. Marshall fills us in on how those have gone and some of the feedback they've received is that the meetings are actually life changing.

After his stellar collegiate career as a college tennis player at Auburn University to almost being eaten by a grizzly bear, Jackie Bushman may be the most interesting man in the world.
This week, Buckmaster’s founder sat down with Bryan to tell his incredible story of building one of the most recognizable platforms in the outdoor industry – from TV to magazines to special events and the Buckmaster’s Expo. Jackie has had the pleasure of working with celebrities such as Bo Jackson, Dale Earnhardt, Sr., just to name a few. If you hunt, you know the name Jackie Bushman.
This is an incredible, riveting story you don’t want to miss. A perfect podcast whether you’re in a deer blind or just on your commute!

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. Learn more about CSP’s proposed solutions and what they’re doing to make them happen.

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 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, 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 legal advocacy nonprofit 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. What he has to say will shock you!

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.

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.

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.

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 in the 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.
