In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Julian Raven — British-born, Spanish-raised, American artist, entrepreneur, and First Amendment activist.

Raven’s story is as unique as his art: from missionary work to becoming a multidisciplinary artist, and from the pulpit to the courtroom. He became nationally known after his Trump portrait was rejected by the Smithsonian, launching an eight-year legal battle that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. His fight revealed deep questions about free speech, artistic freedom, and government accountability.

📚 Raven tells the full story in his book Odious and Cerberus: An American Immigrant’s Odyssey and His Free-Speech Legal War Against Smithsonian Corruption.

🔥 Topics we cover:

  • The Smithsonian legal battle that exposed systemic flaws

  • How art and faith can inspire resilience

  • What “free speech” really means in America today

  • The intersection of politics, culture, and creativity

  • Why Raven continues to fight for truth, liberty, and accountability
