Tim Gaydos: Welcome to live from Seattle today. We're glad you're here and glad you're tuning in and glad to welcome Raven Harrison with us A political strategist former congressional candidate and host of the podcast Raven's Radar Author of Raven's Mantle Fighting the Betrayal of America. We're so glad to welcome you raven to the show today
Raven Harrison: Glad to be here.
Raven: Thanks for having me. So
Tim: Give us some insights. Uh, the big news, uh is that governor de santis? decided to not go to CPAC this year. Talk to us about that.
Raven: I think that's more strategic than anything else. Um, the, the information that's being put out there is that he was snubbed, and I'm not really sure that he was snubbed as much as CPAC tends to, to heavily favor President Trump.
Raven: And I think that it was a tactical move to, to separate from what was going on at CPAC. I mean, ironically, he's been In texas, you know courting big donors and i've heard lots of people. He's doing it Just in case and I said just in case of what in case he accidentally becomes president Um, so normally people don't unintentionally fundraise Yeah,
Tim: you don't just kind of fall out of a tree and say oh gosh, I just raised some money, right?
Tim: exactly
Raven: Yeah. Yes. So
Tim: I mean obviously there's a lot of layers here raven and Uh, yeah It's, it's kind of like, you know, here we are, you know, in our country right now. We are in a most divisive time. Um, you know, we think about, uh, the type of, uh, coming together that we need to, uh, just, my goodness, see the future, uh, of a country.
Tim: We have some, uh, politicians calling for a, a national divorce and, you know, others saying there's, there's no way forward. And it's almost like before our eyes, we're, we're seeing the, you know, the end of, of America, right? I mean, if you're looking out, if you, if you take everything we're seeing, um, and you, uh, continue the trajectory 20 years, 30 years from now, um, things are gonna, we're not, we will no longer know America the way we have.
Raven: So with that,
Tim: my. My thought is, goodness, we need some leaders who are willing to actually find common ground, common sense solutions for America together to, uh, you know, see the, this incredible idea of a country continue. However, you know, here we are, even among the parties, right? Like, they can't even, there's so much infighting.
Tim: Uh, among our two parties, especially the Republican side, that, uh, my goodness, I mean, the party can't even find a way to come together, let alone, let's find a way for America to come together. My goodness, what are we making of this?
Raven: Exactly, and you are exactly right. What we're seeing, but we, we know historically, you know, if this had been 1776, we would already have tea in the harbor.
Raven: Right now we be fighting over the Earl of Gray Harbor, uh, right now. So this is where we are is, and it was ironically taxation and that prompted, you know, the push for our freedom. And now we are seeing in real time, exactly what you're saying, you know, Reagan, this is a very Reagan as doctrine that a house divided cannot stand.
Raven: Lincoln was a big, uh, proponent of this too, that a house divided cannot stand. We're already divided down the middle. And now the Republican party is dividing down that. line with the infighting and the backbiting that is going on. But here's what it really, really boils down to. You know, unity is great, but I feel like in the short term, our biggest issue is we have to stop the communism that is at our doorstep right now, and that is a piece through strength.
Raven: And right now, our enemies do not respect us. Russia and China are teaming up on us, and we need You know, whatever you feel about president Trump, you know, when you're on that playground getting picked on by the schoolyard bully, you want the tough kid and right now we need more of a demonstrated ability to fix this.
Raven: We have to get our economy back, our border secure, and we have to get our adversaries back in check. That is the top priority. We can sing Kumbaya later. Right now we have to protect Americans and get this back on track.
Tim: Yeah, but there's, I mean, it seems like there's always going to be some sort of enemy that, uh, is not, you know, likes or values or anything like that.
Tim: And I guess, how do you, how do you explain then? Um, you know, you know, according to what you just said, obviously, you know, Russia and China, what, why are there so many Republicans then, um, opposing the support of Ukraine and they're in this fight against Russia?
Raven: Well, we've got a couple of layers to that too.
Raven: Everything seems to be a big onion with this, right? Lots and lots of layers. But the issue has to do with… With money and, uh, and this excessive funding of Ukraine, it's actually even against, you know, congressional doctrine to supply a country, you know, with this kind of weaponry, artillery. So what I make of it is, you know, Both parties are having their struggles and they're on different sides, but both of them need to be overhaul and redone in my opinion.
Raven: But for right now, we have to get to our fiscal responsibility. China holds the majority of our debt and they can call that in any time and it will ruin our economy. So we need to, to get a handle on all of this spending. I would say Republicans. The biggest problem is they aren't standing. They are not holding to principles.
Raven: They are rolling over to the Democrats every possible opportunity and neither one of them still makes a uniparty system. So we have to right now, we have to, leaders have to separate and actually show what they're doing to move this forward. Not many have been able to do that. Yeah.
Tim: I mean, you mentioned how we need a, you know, a strong leader like President Trump, but I mean, that, that will, don't you think that's going to continue to divide our country and fracture it? 4Tim Gaydos: Yeah, Trump is, is Trump a, you know, a strong presence and all that? Yeah, but at the, is it worth it? In the fracturing the continued fracturing of our country
Raven: Um, I would say no I mean and that's you know for the the voters to decide but that is the main thing that we need to take into consideration Is you know neutralizing the threat we have now and then how do we move forward once we have neutralized that threat?
Raven: We still have a country to put back together So that's exactly a good point and that is an element that desantis brings that many people are excited about that Yeah, you know, it's just a difference He's, um, you know, he's ex military. He's done a fabulous job in Florida and, um, and by all accounts, very, very personable.
Raven: So that's, that's the deciding factor right now, but it's going to be a very crowded Republican field. Yeah.
Tim: I mean, you talk about kind of neutralizing the threat. I mean, that probably won't ever happen, right? I mean, I mean, we're not going to necessarily, quote, neutralize Russia or China. I mean, it's more a matter of…
Tim: Uh, being able to be in some kind of distance in some
Raven: way in some kind of check and balance, so that's more appropriately. We just need to have a check of balancing. We need they need to have a healthy fear of us again, which they don't, but you're correct. There is no way to completely neutralize people who are bent on, you know, power.
Raven: And destruction so accurate in saying that but again, you know taking them at their their tickets We've got nikki haley that's jumped in We have a lot of rumbling about ted cruz and greg abbott and some others throwing them in so either way You know the party right now until we can get to a clear nominee is going to be extremely fractured Speaking of
Tim: china, so it's come out here the last few days wall street journal article talking about Uh, this, the lab leak theory, and, and, you know, there's a decent chance that, uh, that's where it originated, where many have suspected, um, it did.
Tim: What, what do you know about this, and what sort of investigation is going to be done? I mean, are we going to ever… Have some conclusive evidence for where this started, how it started, was it purposeful, was it accidental? Uh, this, this is a significant
Raven: question. It is a significant question, and it's a good question, and it's a question that we, the people, deserve an answer to.
Raven: Um, the, the problem we had in the beginnings were, you know, the information, we should have had an investigation going. Immediately, but we didn't. It was stonewalled. It was stopped. Anything that came out about that was slapped as misinformation and dismissed. So now I am hoping that even though it's going to be for a politicized agenda, that the Republicans will have the investigation will be as thorough as possible because we We.
Raven: Do you need to know how this happened? I mean, those who don't know history, we all know how that goes. So we need to get back to, you know, what this is. So we, that's the best layer of protection we can provide for American citizens is giving them the piece of mind of knowing how this happened so that we have a plan on what to do going forward.
Raven: And that's what we don't have. We have political, we have political theater. You know, we have a saying in Texas that when things go wrong, we send in the clowns. So, we, we need to get back to, you know, what really happened. True investigation. That is not partisan. You know, this affected everybody. People died, you know, with R or D behind their name.
Raven: We need to know how this started and what our leadership intends to do to ensure that Americans are safe going forward. There was
Tim: a op ed yesterday in the New York Post from Dr. Marty McCary, who's a very well respected doctor. And he gave, um, I don't know if you saw it, but it, he identified the, the 10, um, misnomers of the, the COVID response for everything from efficacy of vaccines to lockdown and so on and so forth.
Tim: And I was like, man, there's, wow, there's 10 of them. My goodness. I mean, I, he just kept rolling on and when he listed them in order, it was, um, I didn't even like reading it to be honest with you, Raven, because it was just like, oh my goodness. I just want to. Oh, man, I don't even want to think about it anymore.
Tim: Let's just move on.
Raven: But, but at the
Tim: same time, if we don't learn, right, we're, we'll be right. We can be right back in the same place a few years down the road. If we don't have some kind of reckoning and accountability. What do you see happening with this?
Raven: Well, that's where we are right now. We're still in the, in the honeymoon phases of the, you know, the conspiracy theorists being, you know, taking a victory lap, and I told you so, but this isn't I told you so.
Raven: This is we have to save lives. You know, this information, misinformation, unsure, and absence of facts cost people their lives. So we have to stop bickering and getting… You know, we need to know exactly how this happened. We have to know, and it's dirty, and it's ugly, and it's painful, and I'm with you. It gives you a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, but we have to know.
Raven: We absolutely have to know, you know, how deep this rabbit hole goes, and I've had the benefit of talking to Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Ars and others who've been on the front line who have been attacked and had their licenses attacked and other things of trying to provide medical Information on this so I'm hoping now we can get all of it And we can make a reasonable determination on what the threat really is We're talking to
Tim: Raven Harrison who's a political strategist also host of the podcast raven's radar.
Tim: We'll take a quick break We'll be right back on live from seattle. Hey, welcome back to live from seattle. We're glad that you're with us We're broadcasting across western washington today And we're so glad to be joined by Raven Harrison a political strategist who has a podcast called raven's radar You should check it out Also, we're talking, Raven, about, uh, what's going on with this presidential campaign coming up and, uh, the news that came out today regarding, uh, former President Trump.
Tim: He has announced that he is going to be making a trip to, you guessed it, Yes. , there's a big talk, talk to us about
Raven: this. Yes. I mean, Iowa is, is, was, will be, is always a key, uh, swing battleground state. So it usually starts somewhere in Ohio and Iowa. But yes, he's going to be making the rounds. He is really coming out charging and he is going after those highly sought after, uh, voters and caucuses out in Iowa.
Raven: Now you
Tim: like, do you. Uh, a push here. I mean, it seems like he was kind of maybe, maybe the media is just not, uh, covering him, uh, like they used to, uh, it, it's been kind of nice actually not, um, having, I guess, so much, um, I don't know what the word is drama, uh, around, but, um, the word, but here he is. He just announced he planned to visit.
Tim: Um, Iowa in, in mid March, so this would be his first foray, uh, into the lead off caucus state since announcing this campaign, which was months ago, and, and I kind of, honestly, for a moment there, I was like, well, maybe he decided not to run, because I really haven't been hearing anything, and, uh, but, no, I, he's, he's running.
Tim: Do, do you suspect he's going to go full blown on this thing?
Raven: I do, and what I feel like if you… For those of us who have been watching the campaign, it definitely hasn't followed the same script as his previous campaign, but I it's definitely going in the same direction. So we aren't getting, you know, he didn't come out as as strong as he did when he came out of the golden elevator, but he definitely has a plan.
Raven: And from all, even from a strategic standpoint, it's always very. It's always purposeful. He doesn't just do things. Things are calculated, they're strategized, and they are, you know, risk, risk assessed. So I feel like this is, this is what you're going to see is the, the start of. Of his rise if you will
Tim: now you're at uh, you're at cpac right now Give us a give us that first hand account
Raven: of what's going on.
Raven: It is it is definitely interesting It hasn't been you know as organized as some of the other cpacs. We're still waiting to kind of register uh, but The booths are showing up. We've had, we have some interesting, uh, mix of people here and so right now the vendors are getting set up and we have our Moms for America.
Raven: We have, uh, young Republicans, those here, but real surprise, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, um, a big booth being set up in the middle of CPAC. It says the New Federation of China and it is creating quite a stir in there. In fact, I was kind of ushered out. Thank you. For asking a few questions around it, but a mixed response from that.
Raven: Some people say it's a, it's Chinese patriots pushing back and others say we have been infiltrated. They've they've come into this avenue too. But right now, we are going to be having a kickoff reception tonight and then we start to see the works, but all the news. Media are here and the, the hotel is filling up with conservatives and patriots all over the lobby now.
Raven: So it was a ghost town less than 24 hours a day. And now it is, it is bustling. Everybody talking about the scientists not being here. And the issues with that, but this CPAC tends to lean in favor of President Trump, and we've got, you know, a pretty impressive lineup. Carrie Lake is coming up. Candace Owens will be here, um, and a lot of congressional leaders, Mike Lindell.
Raven: So we've got some heavy hitters coming that are scheduled for later.
Tim: Yeah. Wow. Now let's go, um, to the Democrat side. What do you, what do you expect to happen there? I mean, um, uh, Dr. Jill Biden came out and said, you know, that, uh, pretty much, uh, the president's going to run again there, there for a long time there.
Tim: It was the, the feeling was the, the Democrat establishment was not going to let that happen. And we're kind of leaning on them a little bit, uh, I think. What do you expect to happen?
Raven: Well, what I think is happening is I feel like they are trying to buy time. It was very obvious at the height of the classified documents scandal.
Raven: And then right behind that we had the Chinese spy balloon. His party was hanging him out to dry. This is a, the Democrats are very, very coordinated. They don't have this fracturing because whoever doesn't go along with it, just gets canceled. So they're usually in lock and step. And I feel like that is what's happening right now.
Raven: I do, I do not believe fully that they're going to allow Joe Biden to run again. I believe he believes he's going to run again, but I, I think he underestimates his chances and his resources without the backing of the machines. Of the Democratic Party, so I feel like right now, he's probably just smoke and mirrors while they rally behind a candidate and all indications are they are heavily, heavily leaning into the Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom realm in which combination configuration.
Raven: Not sure. But I feel like right now what they're trying to do is they're trying to to get a plan together that allows them to at least appear unified. Because the Gallup poll that came out just before the State of the Union said that 70% of Democrats do not want Joe Biden to run again. So his poll numbers are falling, um, and people are crumbling under the kitchen table issues.
Raven: So this is… Not going to be this is this is not an electable platform. What
Tim: do you make of? Gavin Newsom and his chances.
Raven: I feel they are low and as they should be Gavin Newsom, you know is just the trip to the border was a great indication Um that he was planning to run even though it was completely unnecessary California has 140 miles of its own border with mexico.
Raven: So he didn't really need to make a trip To Texas. Gavin Newsom's dynamic is he had more signatures on his recall petition than he did votes to get elected, supposedly the first time. So that's where Gavin is. I, I see that right now. He's probably one of the strongest options. The Democrats have that is credible, but.
Raven: I don't see his chances of being very, very good strategically. I just don't see the numbers just don't add up.
Tim: Yeah, and then for Michelle Obama, I mean, man, if she ran, that could be a landslide win for her because
Raven: she's so below. Well, that's what they're certainly counting on. They're certainly counting on the popularity, but they're not going to be able to have the mistaken mirrors.
Raven: Um, surrounding now that that they've done. The first thing, uh, Barack Obama did when he became president was seal his records. So no information, uh, there's a lot of speculation going and for the president I mean that information we got to see a birth certificate. We have to see all the information But you know in terms of somebody who could rally the democrat party that would be who it would be
Tim: Yeah, I mean, oh my goodness.
Tim: It would be I remember how crazy it was when obama ran in 08 Like just the kind of the rock star. Following I mean that times that by 50 if um, it's Michelle ran. Yeah, it would be Incredible my goodness.
Raven: We're talking to definitely has at present. Yeah.
Tim: Yep. Absolutely Absolutely. We're talking to Raven Harrison Who's a political strategist and host of the podcast, Raven's Radar.
Tim: We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back on live from Seattle. Welcome back to the program. Thank you so much for tuning into live from Seattle today. And we're so glad to be talking to Raven Harrison, who's a political strategist and host of the podcast, Raven's Radar and author of Raven's Mantle, Fighting the Betrayal of America.
Tim: Raven, tell us about the book. What's the big idea?
Raven: Well, the big idea is basically, you know, none of the things that I've experienced in my life seem bad. You know, gravitas in the moment, but when you put them all together of, you know, growing up in the cold war, having not one, but two air force, retired colonel parents with Pentagon clearance, seeing communism, seeing people dying, fleeing communism, and then coming here and being a part of some of the most pivotal moments in history.
Raven: I was there at the Vegas massacre, uh, sustained huge injuries in that. And then just seeing how our country has. You know, evolved and devolved has compelled me to just put this in a raw, unfiltered, you know, you want to know what it was like, um, to be in the Pentagon when it was hit. Well, my parents were there, so it's a harrowing account of kind of where we are in America and how do we move forward?
Raven: That's the thing that we miss in these day and ages. People love to feign the outrage. What's wrong? They don't want to tell you what to do about it or how we move forward, how we heal.
Tim: And so what do you, what do you explore in the book? What are, give some of the highlights of what you explore. To showcase this,
Raven: uh, the showcasing.
Raven: It was really just kind of explaining to people one, while my rise, how I came into this, my daughter was expelled at eight years old from school, um, in an elementary school for voting for President Trump in a mock election. I, I didn't even think something like that was possible, but then when you tie this experience to what's going on in the school, why we're so polarized, you know, so giving the account from a native American woman and woman of color of, You know, what does this military presence mean?
Raven: What, you know, what's different in America from the cold world to now? Seems like we're doing a hyper swing on the pendulum from the segregation of the 60s. Now we're more divided than ever. So seems to be going back and forth. So I'm showcasing specific examples and I'm taking viewers through how. This evolved, why we are to the point now where our country, where neighbor is against neighbor, where we're not sure we trust what's coming out of the media, where the government has dropped the ball.
Raven: I mean, this has been decades in the making. This isn't just we woke up one day and said, my goodness, you know, we're all pretty divided. This has been decades in the making. So we're just going to identify where those pivot points are and give people like, okay, this is how we go. And then what's the perspective of, you know, a Native American woman conservative in America.
Raven: It's you know, it's pretty unique
Tim: Yeah, wow. And how's your how's your daughter doing? I mean that that was probably a tough. Um, that's probably a tough scenario
Raven: It was, she's doing, you know, she's doing great thankfully, but I can't even tell you what that does to you as a parent, because our mindset, you know, they said she voted for Trump.
Raven: I said, she's eight, she can't vote for anybody, you know, and we didn't discuss this kind of stuff at, at home. We were firm believers that kids have 18 plus years to be grumpy, politically charged, but they've got only 18 years to be kids. And I was just, I was heartbroken that. This violated our trust and our belief.
Raven: It, it destroyed my daughter's faith in authority, but she's resilient. Most kids are and again, I just letting her make her decision. You know, it was really just a test at eight years old. She just kind of said it flippantly. And, but I, I, I applaud her bravery and now it just kind of inspired, you know, mama to act.
Raven: And that's what it's about is, you know, what your parents should never be taken out of the equation. I'm responsible for her until she reaches adulthood. And that includes I have the right to decide what she's taught and how she's taught it.
Tim: Yeah. Yeah, wow. That's,
Raven: uh. And no parent should ever experience that.
Raven: That seeing your child hysterical, crying, and hide because the whole, uh, you know, brass of the school came down on her for a choice that she made is something that no parent should ever, ever see. No matter whether you like Trump or not. I mean, we had never discussed politics with her, so we had nothing to do with her making that choice.
Raven: Right. I just, I could not believe what I was hearing when the teachers called us and said she was being expelled for this at eight years old.
Tim: Yeah, that, that is, uh, how was that not on, uh, CNN or, or the nightly news? Cause that, that's a unbelievable story. It's
Raven: in the book. I, at the time, I, you know, I didn't know what to make of it.
Raven: I didn't know what if this was an isolated incident with this was just me. So I put this in the book and it's got an account from her in there. And now she's here, you know, at CPAC and. Prepare to tell that story. We're not sure if she's going to make it on stage, but it's possible for her to make. And I want people to hear it from her unadulterated from a child.
Raven: What this does to her. She's now 13 as of Sunday. And she, she, I've taught her to wear that now as a badge. I don't want that just to control her. I want to turn her pain into power. And she's done that by being able to speak frankly about how this made her feel. And, um, so it doesn't control her. Yeah.
Tim: How's the podcast going,
Raven: Raven? The podcast is going great. Uh, we are doing great things with it. We have, you know, front line leaders just come in giving people an honest perspective. It's gotten to the point where people don't even know when they hear something, you'll hear three different versions of it.
Raven: So now we try to give it right from the horse's mouth. You know, here's… This person is on the border with borders patrol. This person is, you know, a school administrator. So we're giving people a chance to talk to and get information from real people. Who are involved in this movement and helping them give the information that they can make their own decision.
Raven: We got to stop telling people what to think, you know. We have to just teach them how to critically think. Here's the information. We used to be able to do that.
Tim: What is the, um, when it comes, you know, uh, you brought up the border before. We're not hearing a lot about that now. You know, it's like most things. You can only talk about something for so long. Um, yeah. Right. What's currently, what's currently going on there?
Raven: Currently at the border, it's still, it's open and porous.
Raven: It is a really heartbreaking situation there because the cartels Control the Mexican side of the border. So they're flooding in hundreds, thousands of days. They're not showing this anymore. You know, Greg Abbott said that he was going to continue to finish the wall. Don't know that that's actually happened.
Raven: And that's, that's not exclusive to Greg Abbott. This is a politician thing in general is they, they like to get hyped up and then there's no follow through. So the border is wide open. We've had leprosy, typhus. Diseases that were eradicated are coming back to the border. Um, they're being given phones, food, shelter, and then transported to the interior of our country somewhere.
Raven: And in Texas in particular, we are bursting at the seams. Our hospitals are overrun. Our schools are overrun. I live in Texas and it is noticeable any door you step out of. We have 9 million people that have come in since Biden took office and we are just. You know, our roads are crowded and packed. We just don't have the money or the inventory or the resources to handle this kind of influx.
Raven: And they're still coming. Where are they coming from? Primarily? Well, you know, it used to be we couldn't, you know, mail this to Mexico. We have 165 countries that have come in, come through Haiti, the Middle East, um, they, Cuba, they're coming from all over and they're, now they're just flying directly in.
Raven: Drugs coming across the border, sex trafficking, they have little bracelets that they give. People who, everyone who comes to the border gets a bracelet, which says how much they're indebted to the cartels, and some of these bracelets are so small, heartbreaking, that they came off of children, they fell off their wrists, and we've seen, you know, It's just it's horrific, but I just want people to understand what's really happening.
Raven: We saw a little girl's panties nailed to a tree there, and we found a girl at 10 left for dead by the cartels who had 22 semen samples inside of her. So we are. Desperately trying to keep attention and focus on the border because people have no idea. We say it's dangerous. They don't know what that really means.
Raven: And the kids are paying the price. We have got to secure our border
Tim: grow up. I
Raven: know you and me both because when you go down there and you see it, you see this little tiny wristband. Um, and it just it's heartbreaking and this is when people say, well, they just want a better life. You can't expose these children to this, you know for economics, you know There are ways to come into this country, but that's not it Nobody's American dream should start by breaking our immigration laws and you should never subject children to this
Tim: lord have mercy Yes, we've been talking to Raven Harrison political strategist host of raven's radar and Author Raven Mantle. Where can folks pick up the book at?
Raven: You can come to my website at ravenharrison. com and it'll be available, it's available for pre sale and on Amazon. And, um, you can also find snippets about it on our social media, Raven the Conservative Warrior.[00:32:00]
Raven: Raven,
Tim: thank you so much for joining us on Live from Seattle today. We appreciate it.
Raven: I am so glad to be here. Most people don't know we used to live in Woodinville, um, in Washington, uh, as my husband's a pilot. So I, I really am partial. I love my Washingtonians. Thank you so much for having me. You are so welcome.
Tim: We'll talk to you again. Sounds great.

Wrap-up
