On Monday, 1819 News CEO Bryan Dawson spoke with "The Rick Burgess Show" live from Washington, D.C. regarding the scene for Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.
Much has been made about the event's being moved indoors and whether or not it was due to the weather or security.
Dawson shot down the notion the venue change had anything to do with weather, arguing a last-minute change "makes you think that there was some type of legitimate threat." He also noted that security was a "nightmare" and locked down much like it was at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee right after Trump was shot in the ear in July.
"We don't need a repeat of Butler (Pennsylvania) security," he told host Rick Burgess. "That was bad."
Dawson went on to describe what Trump's election meant for the country.
"I believe, and this is not hyperbole, and I'm not going to get too far into it, but the long march through the institutions where the Marxists have been trying to rip apart Western civilization by hijacking our institutions beginning with academia, seminaries, churches, the media, the Democrat Party have come in and wreaked havoc on the West and specifically the United States of America for 100 years now, and Donald Trump was the first person ever really to stand up against this regime in this march and just ... [punch] the bully in the face," he outlined. "And then they continued to push against him. No president has ever seen the resistance that Donald Trump saw, again, from when he came down the escalator to when he got elected to when it was Russia Russia, Russia, the impeachments, all of these things. No one has ever faced that kind of resistance to the point of then the lawfare, getting arrested and charged with felonies and shot in the head. ... So what does it mean? All of that, and we won anyway."
"At noon, it starts over, and we take our country back, we take Western civilization back, and we say no to the communists, so that's what I think it means," Dawson concluded.
