It was a competition of ideas between neoconservatism vs. America-First. At the beginning of the debate, 19% of the audience agreed with my position. By the end, it was 55%. It's amazing what happens when you engage in open debate with hard facts.

      <title>Biden Drops Out ... Now What?</title>
      <description>Biden's announcement that he will not be the Democratic nominee confirmed what I've been saying for over a year (even when they called me a conspiracy theorist). It also confirmed that we're not really running against a candidate. We're running against a managerial machine. It doesn't matter if the Democrats put up Kamala Harris or someone else. 2024 is about dismantling that machine.

      <title>Re-Defining Luxury : The New Virtue Currency of Today’s Elites | S3 E6 | The Truth</title>
      <description>U.S. Air Force Veteran and award winning author Rob Henderson joins Vivek to discuss his take on the current class system in the United States and how many of today’s social movements end up hurting the very people they profess to stand up for. A Ph.D. from Yale University, Rob coined the term, “luxury beliefs”, which refers to the elitism we see in the western world when it comes to progressive ideologies; beliefs, most times radical, that can be held with no consequences to the people championing them - while having a negative impact on everyone else. We see it all the time - the loudest voices for open border policies living in gated communities, or celebrities scolding their fans on climate change while attending worldwide galas via their private jets. Rob takes us through the psychology behind this current brand of elitism, and gives some heart wrenching insight into his own upbringing within the U.S. foster care system. A true American story, Rob details his life coming from broken homes and hopelessness, to serving his country and becoming a new voice for the importance of family.

      <title>The Crypto Frontier: Regulatory Frameworks and their Future with Mark Lurie</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/the-crypto-frontier-regulatory-frameworks-and-their-future-with-mark-lurie-5rb5mN94</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Vivek Ramaswamy Show, Vivek engages in a riveting discussion with his college friend, cryptocurrency expert Mark Lurie. This dialogue centers around cryptocurrency's role in modern financial systems and its interaction with traditional regulations. Mark insightfully dives into topics like Bitcoin's initial appeal, the potential disruption caused by crypto, and its need for a distinct regulatory approach. The latter half of the episode explores securities law, the concept of 'Know Your Transaction', and possible changes to accommodate crypto in these laws. Finally, a fascinating talk about crypto's ability to check the administrative state, serve as an opt-out jurisdiction, and its potential long-term impacts ensues. The episode concludes with reflections on a recent political event they both attended.

      <title>Newt Gingrich on The Influence of the Past: Lessons from the 1994 Republican Revolution</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/newt-gingrich-on-the-influence-of-the-past-lessons-from-the-1994-republican-revolution-PCMPFjZg</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Vivek Show, host Vivek Ramaswamy speaks with former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, about the 1994 Republican Revolution and its implications for today's political landscape. They discuss the lessons of the 1994 Revolution, its relevance to the current political environment, and the stark contrast between the political positions of Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Gingrich discusses how the left has been systematically chipping away at welfare reform over the years, drawing parallels between current state of affairs and George Orwell's 1984. He highlights his time in Congress which led to four consecutive balanced budgets and welfare reform, emphasizing the need for another national movement.
Gingrich acknowledges Vivek's role in shaping a new vision for America and emphasizes that the solutions to today's challenges lie in the principles of past leaders, including Reagan and the Founding Fathers. They discuss the left's movement towards a dictatorship of ideas, and Gingrich's stepping down as Speaker of the House. Gingrich also reveals his impact on the balance of power in Washington after leaving office, and why he chose not to run for president in 2000. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the importance of visionary leaders during moments of national identity crisis, and the need for leaders who can both articulate and execute big ideas during challenging times.--

      <title>Mike Rowe on Reshaping the Perception of Skilled Trades</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/mike-rowe-on-reshaping-the-perception-of-skilled-trades-bpHMRw1T</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Vivek Show, Vivek Ramaswamy and Mike Rowe explore a range of topics related to the changing perceptions around skilled trades, the role of education, and the importance of intellectual curiosity in the American workforce. The conversation begins with Rowe introducing his mikeroweWORKS Foundation, aimed at promoting opportunities in skilled trades that don't require a four-year degree, providing insights into success stories of the program participants. The discussion evolves to touch upon the societal perceptions of alternative education, including vocational training, in comparison to traditional degrees. They debate if cultural hierarchy will continue to mirror the economic hierarchy and how technology has impacted access to education. Fostering intellectual curiosity and avoiding one-dimensional definitions of skilled workers are further deliberated upon, underscoring the importance of celebrating the totality of what it means to be a functional, independent worker in today's economy. They delve into the significance of being a well-rounded individual and the pitfalls of specialization, while examining the current educational landscape and its tendency towards specialization. Rowe also shares his personal journey of choosing community college over a debt-inducing four-year university, and they contemplate the negative stereotypes attached to certain professions.

      <title>Dr. Keith Smith: Redefining Healthcare through Capitalism</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/dr-keith-smith-redefining-healthcare-through-capitalism-MZT_w1pl</link>
      <description>In this episode, Vivek Ramaswamy hosts Dr. Keith Smith, who elaborates on the concept of affordable healthcare provision by circumventing traditional insurance and government interventions. He emphasizes the benefits of capitalism in the healthcare industry, highlighting the way his practice provides affordable, quality services, charging a fraction of the traditional hospital costs while remaining profitable. This practice has garnered attention from patients nationwide and beyond. Furthermore, Dr. Smith sheds light on the burgeoning wave of free market alternatives within healthcare, with more medical professionals and institutions adopting this model. He provides insight into his innovative transparent pricing model which disrupts traditional insurance industry norms, with many patients finding his all-inclusive prices financially advantageous. He also touches on the growth of cost-sharing ministries as a plausible alternative to traditional insurance. Lastly, Dr. Smith passionately advocates for the repeal of government laws and regulations that skew the market in favor of industry insiders, leading to distortions that affect the delivery of healthcare services.

      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/confronting-national-identity-crisis-the-fight-for-life-with-lila-rose-zdz1wrm5</link>
      <description>In this episodes, Vivek is hosted by Lila Rose to undertake a nuanced conversation on the decline in the US population replacement rate and its potential ramifications. They delve into the loss of national identity and self-confidence as pivotal reasons for this demographic shift. Vivek emphasizes the need to address the root cause before discussing potential solutions, identifying ideologies contributing to the decline such as contraceptive, divorce, and gender ideologies.
The discussion takes a thought-provoking turn as they frame the pro-life debate as a human rights issue, critiquing the modern societal unwillingness to make sacrifices. Ramaswamy passionately advocates for reviving national character and family values, stressing the adverse effects of policies like Lyndon Johnson's Great Society on family structures. They explore the possibility of cash benefits for families with multiple children, and discuss reallocation of government spending to incentivize behavior that benefits society. Lastly, they voice their perspectives on abortion, its moral implications, and the critical role of states in defining their policies on it. This episode is a stirring reflection on the importance of valuing individual lives and our shared principles.

      <title>The Great Uprising with Vivek Ramaswamy | What Bitcoin Did with Peter McCormack</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/the-great-uprising-with-vivek-ramaswamy-what-bitcoin-did-with-peter-mccormack-yjw_3aqt</link>
      <description>“Every species that becomes sentient and develops “When you tell people they cannot speak, that is when they scream. But when you tell people they cannot scream, that is when they tear things down.”
— Vivek Ramaswamy
Vivek Ramaswamy is an entrepreneur and author. In this interview, we discuss his thesis that social and political struggles are rooted in the rise of a managerial class dominating society at the expense of everyday citizens. We also talk about the need to revive a binding national identity, and how the social justice movement may be causing more harm than good.
- - - -
Public choice theory influenced a generation of conservatives around the world in the 1970s and 80s. In essence, the theory applied economic thinking to political behaviour. It undermined the notion of public interest: it was a nebulous irrelevance in relation to public policy as all individuals, including politicians and bureaucrats, work in their own self-interest.
What resulted was the development of a managerial class that would be incentivized to achieve specific aims through monetary rewards. This class has grown since the 1980s to now represent, in some people’s views, an oversized controlling force within society. However, their decision-making is increasingly outside of the purview and influence of ordinary citizens.
Vivek Ramaswamy believes this friction between managers and everyday people is at the root of the current social and political struggles within society. Exacerbating these tensions are increasing incidents of managers being coopted by elites to do their bidding, undermining constitutional norms. Vivek believes that we are now at a defining moment when the defining principles of political organisation need to be reviewed.
The ideals and principles of the United States, as laid out in the constitution, became a unifying force around which a vibrant national identity was developed. This, until very recently, facilitated and supported American hegemony. But, in short order, that binding sense of a united vision has been replaced by factionalised ideologies that threaten the viability of the American experiment.
The fundamental issue is that the notion of Americanism has been allowed to wither. Vivek believes that to combat China and meet the other great challenges of our age, America must find again a shared national identity that eclipses current partisan divisions. In essence, the US must retrace its steps before venturing forward.

      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/decentralizing-currency-bitcoins-potential-impact-on-monetary-policy-with-vijay-boyapati-DmRedx_k</link>
      <description>In this episode, Vivek Ramaswamy and Vijay Boyapati discuss the current state of the Federal Reserve, the potential for reform, and the role of Bitcoin in the future of monetary policy. Boyapati, the author of "The Bullish Case for Bitcoin," provides a detailed explanation of Bitcoin's unique properties and potential to serve as a decentralized, finite currency that's not subject to manipulation by the Federal Reserve. The conversation also delves into the history of fiat money, the importance of a stable dollar for GDP growth, and the potential implications of Bitcoin for global trade, monetary policy, and individual freedom.
Key Moments:

[00:00] Vivek Ramaswamy opens the discussion with his perspective on the need for radical reform of the Federal Reserve.

[01:49] Ramaswamy introduces the topic of Bitcoin as a leading alternative to the current financial system.

[02:59] Vijay Boyapati begins to explain his perspective on Bitcoin, describing it as the greatest form of money that humankind has ever seen.

[04:15] The history of central banks and the demonetization of gold in 1933.

[06:02] The origins of Bitcoin and its solution to the Byzantine generals problem, a longstanding issue in computer science.

[08:20] The potential implications of Bitcoin for global trade, monetary policy, and nation states.

[11:20] Ramaswamy and Boyapati discuss the potential of Bitcoin to be included in a basket of commodities to stabilize the dollar.

[13:32] Bitcoin's decentralization and immutability make it trustworthy and ideal for backing a nation's currency.

[16:10] The potential for Bitcoin to provide an escape hatch for those dissatisfied with their nation's monetary policy.

[18:42] Boyapati predicts that Bitcoin will win demand from other forms of money, such as fiat money, gold, government bonds, and real estate.

      <title>Confronting Myths of Systemic Racism: A Deep Dive with Heather MacDonald</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/confronting-myths-of-systemic-racism-a-deep-dive-with-heather-macdonald-E04Tn6t5</link>
      <description>In this powerful episode of The Vivek Show, guest Heather MacDonald, renowned commentator and author of 'When Race Trumps Merit', provides a thought-provoking perspective on racially conscious policies, systemic racism, and the academic skills gap in America. MacDonald argues that family culture, not racism, largely influences this gap and explores the role of victimhood culture in distorting our understanding of the present. She also challenges common narratives about racial proportionality, offering insightful counter-examples such as the success of West African immigrants in the US. Join us for this frank and eye-opening discussion on race, crime, and education in America.

Kenny Xu is a distinguished commentator on education, identity politics, and the ongoing battle against meritocracy in our culture. He is the author of two insightful books, An Inconvenient Minority and School of Woke, which delve into these critical issues. Kenny has contributed to notable publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and The Federalist. As the President of Color Us United, he actively works to create a more inclusive and equitable society. Kenny currently resides in North Carolina.
 
Nick Williams is a former employee of American Express, where he worked for over eight years as an Iowa-based manager of business development. His unexpected termination in March 2021 sparked his determination to speak out against the company's controversial racial policies. Despite being offered a six-figure settlement, Nick refused to remain silent, opting instead to share his story and stand up against what he views as the detrimental effects of "woke corporate America." Nick's courage and conviction serve as a powerful example of taking a stand for what is right.

Nick's courage and conviction serve as a powerful example of taking a stand for what is right.

      <title>Exposing the Dangers of Gender Ideology for Children with "Billboard Chris"</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/exposing-the-dangers-of-gender-ideology-for-children-with-billboard-chris-InOY7_nP</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Vivek Show, Vivek Ramaswamy talks to Chris Elston, a father on a mission to protect children from the dangers of gender ideology. Chris discusses his activism journey, the consequences of affirming a child's gender, and the rarity of true intersex and gender dysphoria cases. They explore the potential harm caused by puberty blockers and discuss the importance of promoting body positivity for children. Chris' commitment to raising awareness on this issue has led him to engage in conversations across North America, making a difference one conversation at a time.
Chris Elston (aka Billboard Chris) is a dedicated father of two girls and a staunch advocate against gender ideology. Driven by his belief that children should be free to express their true selves without being indoctrinated into harmful ideologies, Chris speaks out against the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, which he sees as causing physical harm to children. Passionate about informed consent, Chris highlights the High Court in England's stance that children cannot provide informed consent for these life-altering drugs. Frustrated by the silence of politicians and the media on this issue, Chris has taken matters into his own hands by engaging in conversations across North America to raise awareness and promote honest, open dialogue on gender ideology and its consequences.

      <title>Freedom, Innovation, Superabundance with Marian Tupy - The Vivek Show</title>
      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/ep3-freedom-tupy-KR_qx87F</link>
      <description>In this episode, host Vivek Ramaswamy discusses the importance of GDP growth and innovation in America with Marian Tupy, co-author of the book "Superabundance." They explore the counterintuitive relationship between population growth and economic growth, emphasizing the role of human ingenuity and innovation. The conversation touches on the negative effects of overregulation on innovation and the potential of nuclear energy to drive growth if the government loosened its grip on the market. They also delve into the parallels between environmentalism and religion and the importance of economic growth and innovation in addressing environmental issues. Finally, they discuss the dangers of degrowth theory and the concept of equity, arguing that merit and individual capabilities should be prioritized over one's background.
Marian Tupy is a Slovak-born American policy analyst, author, and editor. He is currently a senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, where he specializes in global trends in economic freedom, human well-being, and political institutions. He is also the co-author of the book "Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful."

      <link>https://vivek.simplecast.com/episodes/the-vivek-show-yY4h5Fin</link>
      <description>Vivek Ramaswamy, a product of the American Dream, shares his journey from being a nerdy kid to becoming a biotech entrepreneur and founder of multi-billion-dollar companies. He faced challenges, but never saw hardship as victimhood. Instead, he found opportunities in adversity. After creating successful biotech companies that developed life-saving drugs, Vivek turned his attention to the rise of the ""woke cult"" and woke capitalism, writing best-selling books on these subjects.
 
Vivek decided to take action and founded Strive Asset Management to compete with ESG-pushing asset management firms, urging companies to focus on making products and services for profit. Realizing the need for a cultural revival in America, he decided to run for US president. He aims to lead, not follow, and plans to use his podcast to open up the Overton window to discuss ideas that are currently seen as taboo, with the hope that these ideas will become mainstream in the future.
