Vivek is the future

Vivek has the intelligence, vision, energy of a great political leader

Vivek for VP

No other president in recent history can articulate these critical subjects at ease. He is in a different zone altogether.

Now THIS is the national conservatism I can get behind

I truly believe Vivek needs to be Trump's VP for SO many reasons!

Vivek is a clear pick for VP and then President 28 🇺🇸

This was pure genious. He cut right down the middle of conservatism differentiating between libertarian conservatism and protectionist conservatism and provided clear, concise, and well-articulated reasons with examples and did so with charisma and charm. This speech to me is right up there with Millei's WEF speech and needs to be remembered as such.

USA is fortunate to have such brilliant people like Vivek in their politics.

Good for Vivek for emphasizing how correct the libertarians are regarding the administrative state. I'm so tired of conservatives and their "we just need the right people in there" naivete.

No one in American politics is this sharp & articulate

Vivek should be VP.

Damn! I love this guy! Trump better pick him as his VP.

Fantastic! SHUT IT DOWN!

This had to be the best single talk at this conference. Insightful, fascinating, and ultimately focused right on target on some of the biggest problems + how to actually improve them. Vivek is without a doubt the #1 non-Christian politician I would most love to have a conversation with.

Vivek is spot on... I concur with everything he said... shut it all down 😮😮😮

I really admire that he is trying to point the conservative movement in a more libertarian direction.

Let’s goooo!!!

This is a smart guy.

Since I first heard Vivek speak I thought this is the type of person who should occupy the Presidency. Intellectually gifted, literate, eloquent, principled, passionate, and physically fit. I'm not here to Trump bash, but I can't even imaging DJT giving a talk this articulate and coherent. So, maybe you don't like VIvek's Indian heritage or maybe you think he's too young; but, if this were a "Voice" type competition where you didn't see the candidate, who would you pick??? DJT? Vivek? Biden? Kamala? Etc..For me a very easy answer.

Labelling Vivek a once-in-a-generation genius would be an understatement. More like a once-in-a-century once. Would love to see him get the Dept of Education - and then shut it down after 1 week, exiting the building and ceremoniously switching off the last light.

This guy is the heir of trump I love it

This guy has GOT to be prez one day

Vivek for VP. Brilliant.

Thank you Republicans for Making American Common Sense Common Again. Please continue to Make America Makes Sense Again. JOHN FURY

Amazing speech. Very inspiring.

Excellent exposition of National Libertarianism. I am still waiting on Vivek following up on his promise to stand against Kelo vs. New London: Eminent Domain for Private Gain.

Great talent. Vivek/Vance 2028!!

AMERICA. FIRST. YOUNG. PEOPLE. VIVEK. TRUMP. VICTORY. AGAINST. AGAINST. GERIATRIC. SENIOR. SYSTEM. NOT. ABILITY.

Here in India, we really need Vivek Ramaswamy like true citizen, who can expose, the administrative machinery of the government in India. Thank you.

Vivek and Vance are the best VP prospects for the Right.

The issue that Vivek seems to have is, Does Trump actually agree with his stance on shutting shit down? If he does, then the choice of Vivek for VP seems clear. If he doesn't...

Brilliant speaker!

Vivek for president!

Love love love your requirements of ourselves Vivek! Give me 2 years of national service for every single citizen post High School. Radically reverses wokeism and improves quality and durability of constructional republic

VIVEK, WOULD MAKE A AWESOME LEADER SOME DAY. HE KNOWS HIS LAWS. HE LOVES ❤️HIS COUNTRY. 🇺🇸HE'S VERY INTELLIGENT HE'S LIKE DONALD🇺🇸 TRUMP 🇺🇸YOUNGER VERSION.

It has to be Vivec Ramaswamy for Trump's VP

Sadly it doesn't look like Trump will be picking Vivek as VP. It's looking like JD Vance, Rubio or Burgum. BIG mistake if that's the case. Vivek is far more popular, intelligent and outspokenly clear about his priority - the American people, and has laid out HOW he would do that. Vivek would also bring in disaffected Democrats, liberals, youth and non-voters. Tulsi would also be a great pick. Ideally Vivek/Tulsi 2028

I am now getting sick of this guy. His smartness puts other Indians like us under pressure. I used to think i am damm smart. But i dont think i can hold myself up with him beyond 5 minutes

Vivek is amazing 🫡👏

Thos ideals and values should be re-introduced to Britain. The Conservative in Britain lost the plot, hence lost the election.

VP!

AMERICA. FIRST. VICTORY. VIVEK. TRUMP. FOR. NEW. REPUBLICAN. NEW. GENERATION. .AMERICA. PEOPLE. FIRST. 2024. 2035. IN THE WORLD. VICTORY. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks Vivek. Ben Shapiro told me to watch this in order to understand the counter conservative economic perspective to those held by JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, a seemingly growing number of others.

I like this Vivek a lot more than the Vivek who ran for President.

Secretary of state or treasury would also be a good fit for his skills

!! 21:48 is the quote. Powerful. !!

Vicki is a genius love him he’ll be some thing big in Trumps administration.!!!!

This guy is too Smart to be VP, a job where you sit in front of the Senate, Smile, and Do Nothing. He'll be much better as Chief of Staff or anything where he can actually gut the agencies.

Very well spoken individual very knowledgeable definitely a presidential candidate in 2028

He is so smart, certainly the smartest person i have ever seen in American politics.

Vivek is 👌👌

"I talked to the man twice today" 😳🤔

Please see documentary: The Occupation of the American Mind. Very educating.

Wowwww... Vivek should have been on the stage responding to the National Black Journalist....

I'm more populist aka American Compass style. But I respect Vivek highlyq

Vivek Secretary of State

Should we assume that because Vance won the VP role that the National Libertarian movement has lost this battle? at least initially? I hope not.

If USA does not make this guy president, we got to bring him back to India. Frikkin intelligent and articulate dude and not afraid to tell the truth.

vivek will male a great leader of this country

Vivek to Homeland Security secretary and VP to RFK 2028

Amazing person

You are the best candidate for VP. No one else comes close. I hope Trump realizes that and doesn't fall into the trap of his donors and advisors, who all have their own agendas and would stab Trump in the back and destroy his presidency, along with the Democrats, as they did last time.

Someone making sense and drawing the people to his ideas can only result in one thing: persecution from the lawfare state and women making bogus charges against him. Let us pray for Vivek that he can weather the storm.

Vivek’s talks have been so good lately. I hope Trump keeps him close. He may be the best influence he has right now.

The only conservative to speak at the entire conference.

Jesus, imagine what this man could do as president of the Senate. They’d not be able to BS someone who armors himself in curiosity, integrity, and candor.

When he mentioned CFPB he got my sttention

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. People still have to actually 'pull the lever' in Nov and Republicans are notorious for being lazy when they think they'll win.

Vance is very good, but Vivek is better!

Wow❤🎉😮

A revolutionary from Right. ..and probably should be an ideologue and theorist of conservativism.

Mr Ramaswamy, please come and be the King of Sweden, cast out our woke-socialist parliament! ❤

In economic terms, trade, immigration, and automation all fall in the same category. While at first glance, those three things in of themselves appear to compete with native labor and thus reduce purchasing power, that’s simply not true. All three increase total supply in the economy, and in a free market (very important qualifier), it happens that they produce more than they consume. Otherwise it wouldn’t be profitable to make that trade or hire that immigrant or buy that robot. The only way for a native worker’s purchasing power to decrease would be if their percentage slice of the consumption pie decreased significantly to offset the growth of the pie. But every occupation is affected by at least one of either trade, immigration, or automation. The ratios of the consumptive slices is rather unchanged, assuming there is no state policy that protects one occupation over another. While there will be more competition in your occupation, that detriment is more than offset by cheaper goods and services you obtain from everybody other industry. However, even from a purely economic point of view, immigration quickly becomes detrimental if it is subsidized (free schools and healthcare), if housing supply is constrained (i.e. zoning laws due to local opposition to population increase), or only unskilled labor is coming in (more willing to be trafficked than engineers). Even without that, you still have the massive effect on the culture, demographics, and political identity of the nation. Accordingly, instead of permanent immigration, there should be a guest worker program where people come in to work in their prime years and return to retire. Dedicated areas for housing would need to be created for that purpose to avoid the local opposition to development that would otherwise result in increased housing scarcity and prices we see now. As for trade, tariffs should only be retaliatory in nature to get other countries to lower tariffs. The end goal being zero tariffs worldwide. Trade deficits are essentially equivalent to gifts. You just pocket the excess and use domestic labor to produce more of whatever else consumers demand. There is always more and more consumer demand in the face of increasing purchasing power. The only exception to free trade would be restrictions on sourcing essential national security goods from adversaries. Finally, automation really has no caveats, except of course making sure AI doesn’t decide to exterminate us one day.

Vivek was not Trumps pick for VP. However, Trump needs to have Vivek in a high position in his cabinet. He would do well to have him in a position in US security!

Democracies and republics create political factions that use the people to get into the federal government. Jacksonian democracy was a reaction against Hamiltonian bureaucrats who spent a lot of money. Only Andrew Jackson has paid back our debts and balanced the budget. We need this kind of figure every 8 years in America. Also Warren Buffet's idea, if Congress overspends, make them ineligible for reelection.

This is where Vivek is soft. At this point, a large majority of Americans want a moratorium on immigration like we had from the 1920s until the 1960s. And when it comes to trade, the top priority must be the elimination of the trade deficit, which exploded exponentially starting in the 1990s, and has been bleeding 3% of GDP for 20+ years, which is a far greater harm to the economy than any benefit to businesses or consumers. The first place to start is to eliminate any trade deals that are lopsided against us, and to completely stop using trade policy as an instrument of foreign policy, where we’re willing to give away bad trade deals to achieve some other objective. International trade organizations should be avoided in favor of bilateral negotiations, and any barriers and tariffs erected by the other country must be matched by ours. The trade must be even, or we lose. A surplus is a fantasy at this point, but that would be even better. As it stands, we are making other countries rich, and the only way that money makes its way back to the US is through them buying our debt, and American assets like real estate. We are giving other countries the money to buy our country out from under us, and they call that “foreign investment”. Meanwhile, the standard of living of the average American declines, because they aren’t any part of those transactions, aside from buying cheap plastic junk at Walmart. Which is not remotely an equal trade for their suppressed incomes. That must end. The only alternative is what the left offers, which is welfare, and possibly “UBI”. Which is the typical socialist recipe of making everyone equally poor while the pie shrinks. So the talk about protecting specific industries (which may be called for in critical areas) is missing the point that the US economy has been disintegrated across the board by these massive trade deficits. That must be the focus, and he didn’t even mention it. Libertarianism is not conservatism. It’s all well and good to promote economic libertarianism within the US, but it must stop at the border. Low taxes and regulations that make the US a favorable place to do business? Absolutely. But mass immigration and massive trade deficits to satisfy the corporate thirst for cheap labor must end, and must end now, or the country will end. And immigration control must include raw numbers, because the raw numbers are what make it unsustainable and destructive. Immigrants have to be absorbed and assimilated, and when the flow is too fast, that doesn’t happen. Not to mention the continual downward pressure on wages. The raw numbers are what is destabilizing the society.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams' perspectives on commerce policy. Source: Friends Divided: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams by Gordon S. Wood, Chapter 6-8: But Jefferson, the enlightened dreamer, hadn't given up. In 17/85, he asked Adams what he thought of his draft of a model treaty to be presented to the courts of England and France. He admitted that the treaty went beyond our powers, and beyond the powers of Congress too. But unfortunately, it also went beyond the powers of possibility. It was truly radical. It not only proposed the free flow of commerce between the 2 signatory nations, but also provided that the intercourse between all the subjects and citizens of the 2 parties shall be free and unrestrained. While traveling in each other's territory, the peoples of each nation would be considered to every intent and purpose as members of the nation where they are, entitled to all the protections, rights, and advantages of the natives of the other nation, but without any requirement for religious conformity. The signatory nations might confine their public offices to natives. Otherwise, this treaty that placed natives and aliens on an equal footing promised a mutuality of citizenship among nations. It was the fulfillment of an enlightened vision of a world that would exist virtually without borders. Adams politely told Jefferson that his model treaty was a fine, idealistic effort, but, unfortunately, it was not appropriate to the realities of European politics. We must not, my friend, be the bubbles of our own liberal sentiments. If we cannot obtain reciprocal liberality, we must adopt reciprocal prohibitions, exclusions, monopolies, and imposts. Our offers have been fair, more than fair. If they are rejected, we must not be dupes. By 1787, Adams had become convinced, as he told Jefferson, that neither philosophy nor religion nor morality nor wisdom nor interest will ever govern nations or parties against their vanity, their pride, their resentments or revenges, or their avarice or ambitions. Nothing but force and power and strength can restrain them. In ascribing personal passions to nations in this peculiar manner, Adams was merely expressing his deepening understanding of himself and his fellow human beings. In the end, Adams' realism turned out to be more accurate than Jefferson's enlightened vision. Only 3 states, Sweden, Prussia, and Morocco, peripheral powers with little overseas trade, agreed to sign liberal commercial treaties with the United States, none of which involved more than most favored nation commercial relations. Most European states were indifferent to the Americans' enlightened ideas of commerce. Ignorance, said Jefferson, to the power of American commerce.

Vivek is the VP we deserve not Vance

Companies doing whatever they want is what led to arsenic in food for a more cake like texture. We need some regulations.

When this man starts talking, books self-ignite. Guy is so erudite, he could almost pass for white.

So true ! earned income taxed, saved income taxed, purchases taxed, property taxed, death taxed we are in such deep shit.

Vivek is doing great work getting us to think about these things. But I am not convinced that our concerns about Xinjiang are any more real than Black Lives Matter. So far as I can tell, that too is propaganda. All the most lurid things we hear about Xinjiang and China in general, are false I believe. We should compete with China but strictly on a basis of truth and competence and productivity. I hate the way it looks like we are trying to "contain" China and keep them down.

Gee, why aren't we getting this level of discourse from Kamala?

Where is the rest of the talk on the question and answer session?

Personally, I would prefer a libertarian free trade world, but at the moment there is another reason to prefer going all the way to protectionism: it reduces our temptation to interfere in other sovereign countries around the world; it would wind in many of the tentacles of the American empire, and that in turn would reduce the motivation of other countries to steer our foreign policy, and allow more attention to domestic policy. In the short term this is economically bad for our allies, but in the long term, it is good for them, starting with regaining their sovereignty AKA freedom. And free allies are strong allies in a real sense. Look at Viktor Orban: Hungary is just about the only sovereign country in Europe, and also the only one that is any actual help in interacting with Russia. Contrast with the UK, which slavishly helped the USA into the stupid Iraq war, and right now is one of the most stupidly gung-ho pro-Ukraine countries (BTW I am a Brit who used to be exactly that stupid too).

Soany good points - morning news a Canadian got killed by IDF near Gaza in their response to stabbing attacks on their citizens. When you distribute citizenship like cookies - that's bound to happen.Justin got so many Syrians and treated them with nice hotels because he is so close to Aga Khan and other leaders but not much attention is put on their integration. I am hoping they will take the benefit of opportunities but it becomes you never know

I THOUGHT THE SAME WAY. I DON'T KNOW WHO HE PICKED. BUT THAT IS UP TO PRESDENT 🇺🇲 DONALD 🇺🇸 TRUMP' 🇺🇲.I ALSO LIKED THE GUY WHO SOUND LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING.

Shut everything thing down, bastardised institutions, gave nothing tangible.

NINA: Nationality, in Nomocorporal Atemporability. (GRAIL).

Hey at least you guys feel better than me , thats what matters most

The fact that Trump didn't pick him as VP makes me think of Trump as less of a good judge of character and talent as he says he is.

Should be Trump's Press Secretary!

Here’s the problem: - I don’t want a left-wing nanny state or a right wing nanny state either - but if two teams are playing a game and one side cheats and the other side doesn’t - and the referees do nothing to stop the cheating - the cheaters will win… even if, in some long-run view, the cheaters are hurting themselves on what they could have been. The above is the challenge to national libertarians and national conservatives. It’s a very DIFFICULT issue.

Vivek and jD are best friends so it’s the same and leaves Vivek available for better positions

I know it's hard, but could you please speak English.

What's the answer for the military industrial complex wasting our money and overcharging us

His vision is just neoliberalism-lite, branded as "national", while remaining deeply "global" without a great industrial (economic) and cultural (immigration) agenda.

On my short stay in Sanfrancisco airport I saw two asian police officer which were chatting to each other in chiness language!. That was so strange! How would you protect your country if a war errupts?

So - I disagree with the "single language" requirement - You can have national unity despite a multi-lingual citizenry. Also, anecdotally multi-lingual citizens tend to be higher IQ and hence accrues to the higher intelligence of the collective nation. Linguistic diversity is a good idea - religious diversity is generally a good idea - within the construct of constitution being supreme over religious doctrine.
