Who is Vivek Ramaswamy? He is a political newcomer who has just announced that he is running for President. Vivek is running as a Republican candidate for the 2024 elections, and his popularity is rising rapidly in the poles because of his message and the hope that it brings. His brilliance, knowledge, and credentials are amazing.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s Background
Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 9, 1985 (37 years old) His lineage comes from India. We have a millennial running for President, who understands well millennial problems and has solutions.
He graduated valedictorian from St. Xavier High School, a Jesuit school, in Cincinnati, Ohio. This is interesting because he comes from a Hindu background. He clearly has studied America’s amazing and unique history and is most enthusiastic about Americans coming back to the American dream.
Four years later, in 2007, he graduated summa cum laude from Harvard with a degree in biology. He was awarded a post-graduate fellowship by the “Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans.” He then went on to get his law degree at Yale in 2013.
Family
Ramaswamy met his wife, Apoorva, while he was studying law at Yale University. Apoorva is an assistant professor and clinician at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. They have two sons. His family is his first priority, as he believes it should be for everyone.
Credentials
His integrity is a major hallmark. As he speaks, he shares his heart. At age 37, he is the first millennial Republican candidate for the presidency with an amazing business track record. He founded the biopharmaceutical company, Roivant Sciences, one year after graduating from Yale, 2014, and he has made great contributions there.
He co-founded and became the executive chairman of Asset Management. His company, Strive, was designed to give people a better asset management path than those promoting ESG. The Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance framework is anti the American Dream. Vivek understood this issue and he helped set up this alternative management system. Amazingly, Strive’s total assets surpassed $500 million as of November 11, 2022.
Author
Ramaswamy has authored three books.
- Woke, Inc. – Inside Corporation America’s Social Justice Scam – Aug. 17, 2021. Woke, Inc. quickly became a New York Times best setter. Yale law professor and author, AMY CHUA, shares, “A provocative critique, wrapped in a gripping personal story that pulls you in from page one. Vivek Ramaswamy is breakthrough brilliant and arrestingly original. Woke, Inc. is essential reading for anyone who cares about America’s democracy, economy, and future.”
- Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit and the Path Back To Excellence – Sept. 13, 2022 BEN SHAPIRO, best selling author and host of the Ben Shapiro Show, shares, “This book shows why Vivek Ramaswamy is one of the most original thinkers–and doers–of our time. Instead of wallowing in the left’s cult of victimhood and its recipe for mediocrity, Vivek challenges all of us to return to the path of achievement and excellence.”
- Capitals Punishment: How Wall Street is Using Your Money to Create a County You Didn’t Vote For – April 25, 2023 ARTHUR C. BROOKS shares, “Vivek Ramaswamy… offers a path back toward a more free and prosperous society.”
Opinion Writers
- Bloomberg shares that Ramaswamy is “the leading anti-ESG crusader,” and his books show how to deal with the Woke movement as well. His youthfulness, brilliance, and hustle are most inspiring, and I am very impressed with his knowledge of how America came to be—its true history—which has been covered up by the radical left and the teachers associated therewith. You can see why Vivek wants to get rid of the Department of Education.
- The New York Times explains that “confidence is Mr. Ramaswamy’s gift,” and that this “smooth-talking” can be “infectious.” For me, his brilliance comes through and shows how well-educated he is and clearly understands the problems now facing America and the world. He is clearly well founded in America’s true history.
- Zeeshan Allem, an MSNBC Opinion Writer/Editor shares, “Ramaswamy is affirming the Republican base’s instincts by promising to succeed where Trump failed to deliver.” He supports a six-week abortion ban, with exceptions for rape, incest, and the woman’s life. Furthermore, he supports abolishing not only the Department of Education but also the FBI and the IRS. In addition, he supports an 8-year term for all government employees.
Interviews
Vivek Ramaswamy is willing to be interviewed by anyone, and his podcasts with John Stossel, Jordan Peterson, Monica Crowley, and James are inspiring examples of his open-heart honesty and very knowledgeable position to be President. His brilliance and broad knowledge bypass the need for a teleprompter! Lindsay is especially interesting because he was an atheist. Similarly, Peterson has found the Bible to be a most amazing book.
John Stossel “Pro Woke Candidate”
Jordan Peterson’s “Pro-American Future”
Monica Crowley Great insights on China’s aggressive stance.
James Lindsay “The ESG Cartel–Corporate Manipulation and National Security Threats.”
Solution to Woke
One of the ways he wants to deal with the Woke’s lack of understanding of what it means to be an American is by raising the voting age to 25 unless citizens in the 18 to 24 age range were in the military, or work as emergency first responders, or pass a civics test like the test taken by those who are applying for citizenship.
What is ESG?
ESG stands for E: environmental, S: social, and G: government. ESG is being used to promote Woke. A sharp political divide has emerged between conservatives and leftists concerning ESG. Ramaswamy has a solution for this massive problem. Listen to his talks; he has several on his website.
Ramaswamy – Thomas Jefferson
On Ramaswamy web site he quoted Thomas Jefferson: “We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable,” he lists some important bullet points:
· God is real
· There are two genders
· Reverse racism is racism
· An open border is no border. He makes the very important point that we don’t want the first step a person makes into this land of the free to be an illegal one, and further believes entrance into this country should be made by merit—what a person can contribute to our national identity.
· Parents determine the education of their children.
· The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
· Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
· There are three branches of the U. S. government, not four.
· The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.
I Support Vivek Ramaswamy
I was so excited to learn from our son, Nathan, that Vivek Ramaswamy is running for the President of the United States. His energy, brilliance and vision for today on how we can realize the “American Dream” gives me great hope. He reminds me of Jefferson. In my view, no person in America before or after Jefferson comes close to what he accomplished in his lifetime.
Vivek’s amazing business acumen and brilliance at age 37 have earned him a net worth of $600 million.
The 4th government branch of government mentioned above is the unelected bureaucratic state elite, who are trying their best to take us away from our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Vivek has a solution to this major problem as well.
I love how Vivek shares that it’s not about him, but about the extremely important message he is transparently and enthusiastically placing before the American people. He shares that if you ask a Woke person what does it mean to be an American; you get a blank look. They don’t know our divinely orchestrated history. Re-invoking the “American Dream” and our “National Identity” are driving forces in Vivek’s campaign to be President.
Ramaswamy’s vision for America, as a presidential candidate, comes closer than anything I have ever seen. He, appropriately, calls it our “National Identity” crisis! His solutions are far-reaching and achievable with great benefits for seeing the return of the American Dream for millennials and for all of us. Since, he knows how to deal with the Woke movement and ESG agenda crises. Let’s let him.
Great Hope
I see him as being our best hope to bring back the American Dream and provide solutions for the several extremely serious problems facing America and the world community today. His website is Vivek 2024.
When I listened to his talk to the NRA on the Second Amendment, I had tears of rejoicing in my eyes because of his appreciation of the importance of that amendment to our constitution. He closed his talk with an enthusiastic, “God bless America!”
