Join Bryan Dawson, CEO of 1819 News and host of the 1819 News Podcast, in a compelling conversation with Alabama State Rep. Susan DuBose, a dedicated legislator who is making a difference in Montgomery despite the challenges of state governance. DuBose shares her journey from grassroots political engagement to the Alabama House of Representatives, discussing her commitment to stay true to her principles while navigating the complexities of legislative work.  This episode highlights DuBose's landmark legislation, including the “What is a Woman Act,” which defines male and female by biological terms to protect women's rights in sports and scholarships. She recounts the resistance faced, the need to educate colleagues, and the pivotal support from Gov. Kay Ivey, who made the bill a priority and signed it into law.  DuBose also tackles the Religious Release Time bill, a constitutional program allowing students to attend off-campus religious classes during electives, which faced unexpected opposition from school board and superintendent associations despite widespread parental support.  Additionally, DuBose discusses her efforts to raise Alabama's medical consent age from 14 to 16, a significant step toward restoring parental rights in medical decisions. She shares heartbreaking stories of parents sidelined by current laws, underscoring the need for common-sense legislation that prioritizes the majority while addressing exceptions. With a nod to future goals, including tackling DEI in higher education, DuBose's passion for her constituents and faith-driven approach shine through. She reflects on the camaraderie among legislators, the power of prayer in the Statehouse, and her vision to extend religious freedom to Alabama's schools.  Tune in to hear how DuBose is fighting for Alabama's values, supported by 1819 News, the state's only citizen-funded news outlet.

Election integrity, immigration, and inflation are the issues that matter most to the people of Alabama, and there are folks in Montgomery making decisions on those things right now. This week we're bringing one of them on the podcast: Rep. Jamie Kiel. Kiel has been a conservative stalwart in the Alabama House for seven years now, consistently voting against tax increases, medical marijuana, and gambling expansion despite the tremendous pressure from leadership to vote for those things. Kiel is well known as an incredible businessman, great husband, and wonderful father, which 1819 CEO Bryan Dawson believes should all be prerequisites to running for office. In this episode, Kiel shares his story of growing up in Alabama and getting into politics, as well as some stories of fighting bad legislation. Kiel and Dawson also dive into ballot harvesting, the effect of immigration on small towns, and what the Alabama Legislature is doing as far as tax cuts to alleviate the financial burden Alabamians are feeling.

1819 News: The Podcast has a unique episode for you this week! A few things have been getting under CEO Bryan Dawson's skin lately. Naturally, he sat down with Joey Clark on his radio show News and Views, which airs on Montgomery's News/Talk 93.1, to air some of those concerns. We thought the “radio rant” was too good not to share! Bryan and Joey's conversation begins with the discussion of Alabama State Health Officer Scott Harris' new appointment as the president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. The public health organization has ties to George Soros and focuses on important topics like “health equity” and “dismantling white supremacy.” This brings out Harris' true colors – we all knew they were there – to the surface and reminds us that he should have been fired years ago. If you recall, Alabama was told Harris couldn't be fired because he was appointed by a board of health professionals and therefore did not serve at the pleasure of the governor. This situation was such a problem that bills were filed in the last three legislative sessions to give the governor the authority to fire the state health officer. Last session one of those bills finally passed. That stands in stark contrast to a recent move made by Governor Ivey to use her “supreme executive power of this state” to unilaterally fire a different state agency head who was also appointed by a board, Rear Admiral Kent Davis, the director of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs. Either Ivey had the authority to fire Scott Harris and refused, or she doesn't have the authority to fire state agency heads like Rear Admiral Kent Davis who are appointed by a board, but she did it anyway. Bryan and Joey's discussion turns from Ivey's actions to the lack of leadership in the Alabama House, Senate, and Governor's Office, which creates an environment where special interests reign supreme. The conversation brought into clear focus the reality that since the Alabama Speaker of the House has been under the heavy influence of political consultant Steve Raby, the House priorities have been an increased gas tax, medical marijuana, and several major pushes for full blown gambling. The last push for gambling included Medicaid expansion. It's unbelievable that these are the priorities of the Republican supermajority of a state House in the most conservative state in the nation! Finally, the “radio rant” ends with harsh criticism of local elected leaders such as mayors, county commissioners, and city councilmen who desperately seek reasons for why they can't do what is right and necessary, and that will allow them to pass the buck. Whether its Haitian immigrants being dumped into their cities or pornographic grooming literature in the children's section of their library, local leaders' mantra is too often the same: "Ain't nuthin' I can do!" Obviously, you'll want to give this episode a listen! Special thanks to Bluewater Broadcasting, News/Talk 93.1, and Joey Clark for allowing us to use the interview.

Clergy Sex Abuse House Bill 125 passed the Alabama House of Representatives. This bill if it passes the Senate would make it unlawful for clergy in a position of trust or authority over a person to commit certain sex acts with an individual under 19 years of age, or a protected person under 22 years of age. Currently the age of consent is 16. This also brings the law for clergy equal to the law for public and private school teachers.

In this episode of The Hot Dish, we hear two very different stories about the significance of community and understanding those around us.  First, Rep. Anthony Daniels joins to talk with Heidi about the importance of redrawing district lines in Alabama to ensure African American voters are represented equitably. Rep. Daniels stresses the importance of addressing the ways in which political and economic developments are intertwined in Alabama, and what measures are being taken to improve the lives of Rural Alabamians.  Then, we hear from Angela Kennecke about the realities of the opioid epidemic in Rural America. Angela discusses the various facets of addiction and some of the ways in which it can start. She speaks about the lack of resources available in rural communities, and why early education about addiction is paramount. Rep. Anthony Daniels is the house minority leader in the Alabama House of Representatives. He is a board member of the One Country Project and former elementary school teacher. His legislation is focused on economic development for his constituents. Angela Kennecke is a journalist, host of the podcast Grieving Out Loud, and founder of Emily's Hope. Her own family's journey with addiction and loss has inspired her to turn heartbreak into action in her quest to ensure no other families endure the same experience.  To find out more about the One Country Project, visit our website.
