Raven Harrison, of Native American heritage, discusses her new book Raven’s Mantle: Fighting the Betrayal of America. Harrison, a public speaker dedicated to uplifting veterans and the military, was raised with a profound respect for veterans, a value that has remained integral to her throughout her adulthood. Her journey into conservative activism began in early 2017, sparked by a personal incident: she received a call from her daughter’s school stating that her daughter faced expulsion for voting for Trump in a mock election. This event was a turning point for Harrison, leading her to embrace her role as a vocal conservative advocate. Embodying her principles and her Native American heritage, she proudly refers to herself as “the Conservative Warrior.” This title reflects both her fighting spirit in the political arena and her deep-seated respect for the warrior ethos in her cultural background.

Interview with Trent Loos
Sixth generation farmer and rancher Trent Loos clarifies our previous discussion regarding moonshine. The Whiskey Rebellion, often regarded as the first rebellion in America, was a significant event where farmers initiated an uprising against the newly established federal government’s imposition of taxes on their liquor. This conflict, reflecting the tensions between governmental authority and citizens’ rights, spanned three years. However, it took two decades before the controversial whiskey tax was finally repealed. This historical episode serves as a reminder that while violence may not be the solution, adopting a vocal and assertive stance, much like the protestors of the Whiskey Rebellion, could be crucial in making strides towards the abolition of restrictive taxes. It underscores the importance of active civic engagement and advocacy in effecting change in government policies. Listen to the full interview in the second hour.
