On the Campaign Trail With Vivek Ramaswamy

Time Text
So I told you guys that I was going to be hitting the campaign trail for a day with Vivek Ramaswamy.
I was so excited to do that yesterday out in Iowa.
It was very cold.
I just want to say this, you know, I am not the person who meaningfully does presidential endorsements because there's something about it that seems arrogant to me.
Like, oh, I'm endorsing this person.
And so... I want to say that I support certain individuals, and I always want to be honest with you about why I support those individuals.
And my hope there is just that you will listen to them, that you will give them a shake, right, and come to your own decisions.
And Vivek Ramaswamy is someone that caught me and my entire team completely by surprise.
Obviously, you saw the genesis of it.
We had him on the show.
I was saying his name wrong.
I was saying Vivek.
His name is Vivek Ramaswamy.
I didn't know much about him, and he blew me away.
It's not only his business acumen, his intelligence, his ability to relate to different people.
It's also his astounding work ethic.
I truly believe that Vivek Ramaswamy is one of those people that is just genetically gifted.
His brain works in a way, and this is why he's been so successful at such a young age
business-wise.
It works faster than most human beings on earth.
He just hit the genetic lottery, so to speak.
And his ability to articulate, his ability to understand the issues, his ability to,
when you tell him something, just go ahead and read a book and completely understand
what's going on.
Close to none. I mean, really.
He really is ahead of everybody else in this race, in any race I've ever seen.
I do think Vivek Ramaswamy is one of the most brilliant people that we have ever seen in politics.
I mean that. And yesterday, I did four campaign stops with him, got to see the way that he connects with people.
He's running on about three to four hours of sleep.
He doesn't even drink coffee.
He just drinks tea all day, which is another phenomenon.
And he just doesn't stop.
He really does not stop.
He is the Energizer Bunny.
That is just a credit to his youth, but just also to him.
And so I was honored to do that.
And I wanted to show you guys some stills of us on the campaign trail.
But I also wanted you to hear what he thinks, what his election predictions are.
You know, coming in as somebody who is clearly very America first, there is obviously some sort of a media conspiracy to pretend that Vivek is not running.
I want to be clear, Vivek has visited, has done more campaign stops in Iowa than every other candidate combined.
He is on track to do more than 350 stops in Iowa.
Impressive. Why? Because he's actually working for our vote.
And that right there is a rarity, right?
You usually get these politicians who just assume that you should vote for them.
I mean, you've got DeSantis who's just like, I've got all the donor money.
Nikki Haley, you don't really see her anywhere.
She's got the protection of the mainstream media.
And you've got Vivek Ramaswamy who is just doing good old-fashioned hard work speaking to people and explaining to them his vision for the country, his America First vision.
And his prediction is that the American First Movement is being duped right now.
That the powers that be will stop at absolutely nothing to make sure that Donald Trump is
never in the White House ever again.
And obviously we are seeing that.
They are just removing him from the ballot in certain states.
And he thinks we're walking into a trap.
Listen to what he says.
The system wants to narrow this down to a two-horse race between Donald Trump and a puppet who they can control.
And it has become increasingly clear that puppet is not a Democrat.
It's not even Gavin Newsom.
It's Nikki Haley. It's in our own party.
Well, today, one more step in that plot unfolds.
Chris Christie drops out.
Next up, I'm going to make a prediction.
You're actually going to see Ron DeSantis join Nikki Haley's ticket.
He's going to be her VP. The whole game, it's hiding in plain sight, whatever it takes.
And this system will stop at nothing.
And I mean nothing to eliminate Donald Trump from contention.
It's disgusting. But the same people who have said they're not going to actually take a principled stand against Trump's removal from the ballot.
Haley and DeSantis are both in that category.
Do the math, people. That's next up.
Ron DeSantis is after Iowa.
Everybody, including Chris Christie, apparently got a phone call from Ron DeSantis.
Panicked was the word that Chris Christie used.
This is the way the plot's going.
Ron may not know this. Ron DeSantis may not know this.
But that's what his donors are going to make him do.
That's what's coming next.
I would heed that warning.
I do believe that, obviously, they will stop at nothing.
They've already proven that to make sure that Trump is never in the White House.
And what he says there is really important, that they're duping us in the manner
of pretending that Nikki Haley is surging in the polls, pretending that she's got this huge Republican following.
I have not met a Nikki Haley supporter.
I haven't, and I'm just telling you my own experience.
And yet at the end, you can see this, go look at the, observe the media.
After every debate, they're like, Nikki Haley won, Nikki Haley won.
My personal litmus test is to see the candidate that the McCains are supporting
and to know that you should not vote for that person because they are establishment
they are likely tied to the military-industrial complex.
The McCains are supporting Nikki Haley.
From day one, Meghan McCain's been tweeting, Nikki Haley, she's so great, she's so brilliant.
Mm-mm, girlfriend.
