The story of how this all came to be, right here in Alabama, is one you'll want to tune in for.
OVERTIME: In this week's overtime segment, Bryan asks JR Rivas why it is that folks who come to America from 3rd world countries love this nation so much more than many ungrateful natural born citizens.

State Auditor Andrew Sorrell, our first ever guest on 1819 News: The Podcast, joins us this week on our 100th episode.
Listen as Alabama State Auditor, Andrew Sorrell, tells his personal story as well as what it is that he does in the Auditor's Office.
Andrew is arguably the most conservative person in state government as evidenced by his time in the state house. He stood with courage, oftentimes by himself, against ever expanding state budgets year after year. Andrew played a major role in the passing of Constitutional Carry legislation and was labeled as a radical when in fact he was just doing the things on the Republican Party platform as a Republican.
This week's overtime segment discussion revolves around the fact that courage is being rewarded more than ever in politics right now but still so few are willing to lean into the buzzsaw.

In this episode, 1819 News CEO and Editor-in-Chief explain the decision making process that went into publishing the stories about the late Mayor and Pastor Bubba Copeland.
On Nov 1st, 2023, 1819 News published a story about a small town Alabama Mayor who was also a pastor. The story exposed that this elected official and Baptist preacher was leading a double life by posting sexual photos of him dressed in drag, as well as posting memes encouraging children to transition, and writing explicit homoerotic fiction stories. All of which were posted on public forums.
After we published the story, we had many citizens in the area reach out to provide us with more information, including the fact that the children pictured on the transition memes were actual children from the community that he used without the parents permission and the memes appeared on porn sites. We were also made aware that one of the fiction stories written by Mayor Copeland was about killing an actual female Phenix City business owner with the intent of stealing her identity to have sex with her husband.
In the early evening of Friday, Nov 3rd, 2023 Mayor Bubba Copeland took his life after being involved in a low speed pursuit with law enforcement that was attempting to stop him for a wellness check.
Media outlets from across the nation proceeded to place blame on 1819 News for his death saying that 1819 News had no right to share those aspects of Mayor/Pastor Bubba Copeland's life.
We stand 100% behind our decision to publish the stories and Jeff and Bryan breakdown why in this week's episode.
