In his latest episode of “Tucker on Twitter,” Tucker Carlson sat down with 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
Ramaswamy, an independently wealthy businessman and political outsider, has seen a recent rise in the GOP primary polls — currently sitting at a somewhat distant third place nationally behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Ramaswamy, the first millennial to run for president as Republican, and the youngest Republican candidate ever, has distinguished himself from the rest of the GOP primary field with his anti-hawkish position on the Russia-Ukraine war, and with his commitment to pardon former Republican President Donald Trump if elected.
“Save for Trump, right, nobody on the debate stage certainly for the Republican Party has a principled position on Ukraine partly because they understand those are the directions they’ve been given,” Ramaswamy told Carlson.
In his July Republican primary forum event, hosted by the Blaze, aid to Ukraine was a primary line of questioning with which Carlson skillfully interrogated Sen. Tim Scott, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
“I think that we are on our way to Ukraine turning into another Iraq or another Vietnam all over again, except this time I think it could be worse because there’s nuclear weapons at issue,” Ramaswamy said.
Ramaswamy also emphasizes the dangers of the Russia-China alliance, and criticizes the U.S.’ support for the Ukrainian war effort as pushing Russian President Vladimir Putin closer to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
As part of his plan to gain economic independence from China, Ramaswamy supports re-entering and re-negotiating bilateral trade deals with regional allies, such as Japan and South Korea, including the controversial Trans Pacific Partnership.

“Ramaswamy, an independently wealthy businessman and political outsider, has seen a recent rise in the GOP primary polls”
Not for much longer. He just stated that our only friend and the only democracy in the middle east, Israel, should get the same amount of support as the people who hate us and chant death to American.
Remember the calibrations all over the Musallam world on September 11, 2001.
Vivek Ramaswamy is intelligent, energetic, informed, laser-focused on the issues and not a member of the bought-corrupt political scene. Vivek is “new blood” in a field of very old politicians who have been around for decades and who are not likely to bring any real and needed change to our myriad of problems. He’s a superb candidate who at the very least raises the IQ level of political debate in the presidential campaign. He deserves to be the republican nominee and I hope he is! He can ass-whoop JRB.
No thanks discount Obama. He will preach ‘unity’ until after elections, then declare America is suffering a “workforce shortage”, where the only solution is importing a few million ESL for a free ride on my tax dimes. Go be a smarmy RINO in some liberal fund raisers. I just watched Harold & Kumar go to White Castle?
