In today’s episode, Seth sits down with Brian Dawson—CEO of 1819 News and one of the leading voices in the fight for localism—to expose why America’s survival depends on reclaiming local power. From local media to local politics to the local church, Seth and Brian break down why DC is a swamp you can’t drain… but your own community is a battlefield you can win. Brian shares the wild, almost movie-script story of how God led him to launch Alabama’s second-largest news source, and how 1819 News exploded onto the scene after breaking a shocking story the mainstream press refused to touch—a pastor-mayor with a hidden, horrifying double life involving a pedophilic, transgender fetish. You literally cannot make this stuff up. This is why local news matters. This is why local politics matters. This is why localism is how we save America.   Stand with us at Life or Death Con in Washington D.C. on January 22, 2026 — the frontline of Christian resistance!
