Truth with Vivek Ramaswamy

Truth with Vivek Ramaswamy

The media has systematically lied to you about the war in Iraq, 2008 financial crisis, Russian Collusion hoax that never was, Covid-19 origins, Hunter Biden’s laptop, the truth about January 6th, how our money is being spent in Ukraine, the transgender Nashville shooter memo…the list goes on. If you want the standard conservative talking points, this podcast isn’t for you. But if you want to go deeper, get to the bottom of what is really going on behind the media smokescreens, explore the intellectual foundations of our America-First movement, and challenge your preconceived notions, then join Vivek Ramaswamy and go beyond the Overton window. Get ready for conversations you won’t find anywhere else.

Last week, I debated former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton at the Virginia Military Institute on the topic of foreign interventionism. 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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/a...

Calling the other side “weird” has become a political insult. Politicians like Tim Walz want us to stay stay in our lanes, keep our mouths shut, and defer to “experts” from the managerial class. Our Founders didn’t care what the experts thought. They were self-taught, self-made Renaissance men who built a self-governing nation in a world of monarchies and aristocracies.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoice...

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megapho...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
