Raven Harrison - Florida Congressional Candidate (23rd District) Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right. I can't wait to hear what Raven Harrison
thinks about Jasmine Crockett, because I know where she stands
on most issues, and I'm sure she has plenty to say. Raven,
welcome back to the show. Good to hear from me again.
You used to be here in Texas. What are you doing.
What are you doing in Florida.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, I've been a dual resident for a while and
we came out to really give President Trump some support
and bolster to get him over the line, and we
decided to make this our permanent home. It was a
little bit tough on the kids to keep going between states.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Okay, well, best of block in Florida and best of
luck in your race. You're running for the twenty third district.
When is that election?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Correct, that's not till August of twenty six, but we'll
be coming in right at the midterms.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay, good deal. Well, we could use a little help
around the midterms, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, yes, indeed, a.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Little too close for comfort. I want to ask you
about Jasmine Crockett. Obviously, you know who she is. You
know some of the things, some of the outrageous things
that she has had to say, my theory is, and
you correct me if you think I'm wrong. My theory
is that a lot she wellwed to what she says
and what she does is for effect. In other words,
she's the squeaky wiel that wants everybody to notice her.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Correct. That is exactly correct. What it is is basically,
this is an intention employe and the more outrageous. That's
the effect of social media in the Internet. The more
outrageous it is, the more attention it grabs, the circles
it runs. And that's how AOC did this. We all
can agree that for the most part, AOC is like
the poster child for useless people. But what we notice

(01:34):
is that she wields the social media hammer very well.
She knows how to engage even though most of the
stuff is categorically false. And Jasmine Crockett was really hoping
to be you know, the Kamala two points. He thinks
it is like she was wanting she's wanting to have
a presidential run. But this has been the Democrats platform

(01:54):
for decades. Race, class, gender, this is always what they
run on. It all always comes back to they don't
want a merit based system. They want something based on
optics and that's where she is. So she is trying
to be relevant, to position herself to be the front
runner because she really, in her mind thinks that she
has a shot at becoming president.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Wow, that's pretty amazing. Okay, Let's take her statement that
the Democrats want to run the safest white boy in
twenty twenty eight because a black woman can't win or
at least has won so far as a black woman
who's running for political office. Do you think it was
a problem of race for Kamala Harris or gender for
Kamala Harris or was it a problem with her policies?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, I would say both, and I'm actually Native American,
so I've been slightly in the different vein, but in
the same vein of color. But I'm just telling you,
people who lead with race are racists. And that's what
it basically is. What she's trying to do is deflect.
Kamala lost because she was an absolutely horrible candidate and
she was wholly unqualified. She had one job. You know

(03:00):
that you had one job. She had one job, which
is to control the border, and we all know how
that turned out. She kept flipping her race in her
gender and again you know, first she was a proud
Indian senator, then she was a black woman, then she
was a Latina accented, you know, ridiculous. And again she
wasn't running on policy. She was running on elect me

(03:22):
or you're a racist. And that doctrine never goes over well,
but they keep running it and running it and running it.
I mean, look what's happened to David Hogg. David Hogg
was elected by them to the vice chair of the DNC,
and now he's unelected because he doesn't meet their diversity.
He is a victim of the same ideology that they've

(03:43):
been pumping out there for the last you know, several years,
and that's what people need to see. Does Kamala was
not qualified and that's why she lost. She had nothing
to offer except for repeats and hate of Trump. And
they're doing the same thing again. So hopefully they will
learn something.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think that David Hog also was done in by
the fact that he was willing to look in the
mirror and say, here's the things that we're doing wrong.
We need to fix this, and they don't want to
hear that. They're not at a point where they're willing
to accept that they've made a lot of mistakes.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, anybody who's getting life advice from David Hogg probably
should examine, you know, a bunch of their other choices.
This guy got up there and said, oh, all we
care about is getting late. I'm like, oh my gosh,
David Hogg is talking to people about getting Okay, take
us now, Lord, it's all downhill from here. But that's
what we want to remind people of context. They are

(04:35):
desperate and they are scrambling for something because all they
have is you know, these these optics and the propaganda.
They have nothing real to run on. And that's what
you're seeing is desperation.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's a fact. Raven Harrison a pleasure, thank you. Good
to hear from you. Florida congressional candidate Raven Harrison. You
all have a great day. We'll see tomorrow morning bright
in early five am. Hope to see you the safe
