School Indoctrination Awakens Conservative Warriors

On January 3, 2024, Raven Harrison and Trent Loos joined the show. Harrison recounted how her daughter’s 2017 expulsion from a California school for voting Trump in a mock election launched her political activism and the Conservative Warrior movement Loos argued that thoughts constitute property and that self-censorship, accelerated since 2020, represents a surrender of fundamental rights to government control

From School Expulsion to Conservative Warrior

Start listening at 31:54 – Hour 1

Raven Harrison recounts the moment that transformed her from a politically disengaged military family member into a full-time activist. In March 2017, her eight-year-old daughter was expelled from a California elementary school for voting for Donald Trump in a mock election. The school forced the child to write 100 times that Hillary Clinton was the true president. Harrison, whose parents are both retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonels, channeled her outrage into founding the Conservative Warrior movement.

Harrison describes how she prayed for guidance and felt called to action. She wrote her book Raven’s Mantle detailing her journey and now travels the country organizing conservatives at the grassroots level. She emphasizes that everyday Americans must engage in the battle rather than waiting for political saviors.

“They tried to expel my eight-year-old daughter from elementary school for voting for President Trump in a mock election. They gave her a detention assignment that said that she used to write 100 times, Hillary Clinton is the true president and Donald Trump is an ass.”

Thoughts as Property Rights

Start listening at 82:30 – Hour 2

Trent Loos argues that freedom of thought represents the most fundamental property right Americans possess. The sixth-generation farmer and rancher observes that self-censorship has accelerated dramatically since 2020, with people increasingly reluctant to share their genuine beliefs even among family members.

Loos points to the COVID-19 era as a turning point when government messaging divided families over vaccination choices. He notes that his own daughter stopped expressing her views in college after repeated attacks from peers. The agricultural advocate warns that accepting the path of least resistance, as the Bolsheviks discovered, ultimately benefits government control rather than individual freedom.

“There’s not a day goes by that somebody doesn’t say to me, well, I would never say that publicly. Why? If there’s something you’re thinking, why would you be reluctant to say it publicly? That’s because somebody has robbed your property, your thought process as an individual citizen of this state.”
