- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2024
- Businessman and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, of Ohio, will bring his campaign to Exeter Town Hall on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. EST, as part of a series of town hall forums in New Hampshire, hosted by the USA TODAY Network.
In his first run for political office, Ramaswamy has gained traction with Republican primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and across the nation.
On the campaign trail Ramaswamy points to “10 Truths”: “God is real; there are two genders; human flourishing requires fossil fuels; reverse racism is racism; an open border is no border; 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.”

Awesome. He's the man. Can't get enough. I watch every speech, every town hall. I'm hooked. Love the optimism!
And it's great seeing the positivity here in the comments, but we gotta get this message spread far and wide, not just online! But the yard signs and bumper stickers and TRUTH hats! Let's so this. Vivek2024!
I am 81 and I learn so much from Vivek. Unbelievable what chance we have to make him President. please let's not waste any more time.
Just like Obama. That will be a NO!
I learned about him from a yard sign. He is shaping the discussion.
@@dakota4211
81...?
No wonder....
The way he respectfully answers rabid Karen’s speech was amazing. Truly an inspiring person!
The difference is, Vivek is not just "saying anything". He's saying what should get attention and be heard. Vivek's verbal competence makes him a great warrior for the people. He's saying, to a higher degree, with more articulation and an actual set of plans, how to move forward. While everyone else is slinging mud, he's out making a difference for the people rather than doing all of the other things he could be doing right now. Productive and open dialogues need to return. Vivek can do this. This level of conviction needs to be respected and is worthy of our vote. VIVEK 2024 POTUS. There's no one that comes close, no one. He's one of a couple chances we've had in 200 years.
100% agree
Vivek is an impressive man. He has my vote.
Impressions Are Expressed Be Careful❤ The Hidden Agenda
Mine too !!!
he is putins toy, an Indian raised Russian
Speaks with so much conviction! Vivek 2024
Just like Trump...
He knows everything...
Vivek is the best we have not the corrupt swamp creatures in DC. He has a great vision independent of swamp.
correct. Trump is depending on the swamp to drain the swamp.
@@brettcantrell8650perfectly said
I'm a huge Vivek fan! Vivek please make some of your answers short. Some in the audience get board if you take a long time to answer a question that they might not be interested in. Keep up the great work!
very good tip, he should get some trump slogans going
Yup, I'm surprised he only answered 2 people's questions lmao, he just kept going on and on. Why call all those people if he's only going to let 2 people ask questions.
@@user-ih6oe9ny3jLike he says "The details matter" 🤷🏾♀️
Very impressive to see how Vivek handled the tough, highly opinionated, vindictive question from the lady; clearly displayed why he is superbly qualified for the job! Great job Vivek, proud to see you in action.
Also impressive response to a very thoughtful question from another icon, Jim Rickards. I bet most candidates running for the office wouldn’t be able to handle that as well!
100% i learned something from that convo. Though it was a confusing question. He summed up well and then agreed with her skepticism and then presented his passionless opinion. People need to understand this is very common as a CEO in private. You cant get emotional else competition will eat you up. This style don't know will work in politics where people are used to silence vs violence style diaglog.
She also didn’t list any examples of “dangerous comments.” She basically called him uninformed and unintelligent, which is clearly ridiculous.
She’s right.
@@kingofallwhites A woke bot
So true! She was speaking way too long instead of asking question.
Billionaire at 28! He understands trade, Global Economy and International Commerce.
He is a genuine Man and Brilliant too!
He speaks directly from his American Heart. Lincoln must be smiling in full approval.
My Canadian born American Children; who are top professionals are most hopeful.
🇺🇸🇨🇦
We love Vivek. He exactly understands what is wrong with the establishment and he has a plan to counter it.
He's actually 38. The constitution requires 35 in order to be president.
@@garyrr50 Billionaire at 28.
@@redshift8302multimillionaire not billionaire
That man is the man to Make America Greater Again ❤
Two things that sticks the most in this campaign, no one does are, the vision of leading america not just from something but to something and the perspective of seeing America in its adolescent stage of growth as a nation,having an identity crisis ie. up for, not descent, but accent! these are deep political PROPOSITIONS.
This man is quite remarkable and seasoned, is america open?
Very forthright answers. You are different & wonderful. The world needs Leaders like you.
As always vivek doesn't disappoint, if voters still don't know what he's talking about then they must go back to school
School is the reason they don’t have the capacity to understand
i just love vivek period , me and my family supported desantis but like many others has shifted to vivek's camp and will campaign and vote for him, i already see most of the people around me supporting vivek, america should not let this be a missed opportunity, lets get this young intelligent guy to oval office.....lets try intelligent and young for once LOL
The establishment hates Vivek. That should tell you that he is definitely the right person for the job.
Vivek 2024!
Those who are not honest themselves judge that Vivek cannot be honest either.
Those who live in hope for a constructive future like what he says and stands for because that reflects what they stand for..
So much talent must not go to waste. Vivek is the #1 Candidate for the job.
Vivek 2024!
Your horse meat stew is burning
The best chance for success comes when plans are aligned with Truth.
Vivek 2024!
I agree and so far Ramaswamy has spoken many truths, but I think he is omitting some of his truths. This guy is super intelligent, and I'm afraid that he has another agenda. I think he wants to wipe out America and start again. This is not the way to go. It's easy to tell people what they want to hear.
I agree but Vivek can't state the truth. He is wishy washy and a poor con artist
@@gailkeuhn8247beep boop. Npc
Good. We love classic Vivek answering questions.
VIVEK 2024 🇺🇸
A great speaker, Vivek does not miss a beat. How did Vivek know the student's name was Ben? Amazing that he would remember that if he had just met him briefly that morning.
Omg how easy you are to impress!!
@@jeri3794operation mocking bird in full effect I see.
Excellent!!
😂 You are correct. Most people don't have a clue what a brilliant Presidential candidate like Vivek Ramaswamy is talking about 😂
VOTE: Vivek Ramaswamy for President of the USA 2024 😊
Vivek is ultra intelligent, brilliant!!👍🏼❤️🇺🇸 best Presidential candidate ever !!! Vote 2024 !!
This Dude Gots A Plan Man!
This guy can speak eloquently for hours without notes or a teleprompter. That is indeed a talent but not one required to become POTUS. His policies though, are worth considering seriously since a lot (not all) of them make sense. A serious POTUS contender indeed.
Smoke and mirrors. He can speak well and at length while saying nothing. Huge common character trait of business men and why they climb the ladder. NOT because they are good business men. Average people are just fooled into following the loudest people in the room because they "talk" better than you do. Just because someone sounds good doesn't mean they are a leader let alone President. Sit with it..
I love this guy !!! He speaks the truth .......... he's young ........ he cares about America. So far he is the ONLY Republican who has my vote. Hannity is just an a----. Trump in all of his interviews would leave you with your head spinning because you could never figure out where he stood. Hannity just further gave journalism a very bad name. Why doesnt FOX recognize this & just throw him to the wolves?
I think I agree with that one lady. We should be more wary of billionaires funding their own campaigns.
The media keeps citing polls trying to mock Ramaswamy's efforts. However, polls are not the same as actual voting. In voting, there are consequences while with polling there are none. So, people are more apt to use their polling responses for whimsical purposes such as to express their moral support for someone while not really wanting them to be president. Consider the fact that a large number of Republican and Democratic voters do not want either Biden or Trump to be nominees... per polls. This contradicts their polled candidate choice. Secondly, in January Desantis and Trump were almost tie at ~40% each in the polls. Suddenly, as more and more legal challenges mounted against Trump, Trump's polling skyrocketed. Did voters just as suddenly discover something so egregious about DeSantis that they favored Trump, or was it largely a symbolic sympathy vote due to perceived injustices to Trump? While unrealistic, if suddenly all charges were dropped against Trump and a public apology was made, I would bet Trump would not be the favorite son anymore. I think the indictments have warped this election cycle's polling data for which pollsters have no way of adjusting for. When primary voters must make the real choice and know it matters, the results might be surprising.
I do not trust the polls at all because the media and establishment are working very hard to prop up Nikki Haley. However, most Republicans I have talked to do not like her.
I think you hit the nail on its head. Polls only matter so much. The point really is that people should form their own opinions and not just blindly follow what the media is telling them to follow. Because Media is a business and they are not having your interests at heart.
VISION, VERITY, VICTORY. VIVEK 2024🇺🇸🗽🎆

Vivek Ramaswamy POTUS 2024 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Vivek is betting on people are smart. They want what why how. Personally I don’t know. It's a coin toss. Traditionally people had smaller span which msm fills with gotchas entertainment. Podcasts are probably best way. Applaud people trying to understand.
Vivek, with this excellent responses!!
Vivek is a true renaissance man! Smartest candidate in the field on both sides. Best resume of any candidate in 20 years. Midwest middle class roots, Catholic high school, Harvard science undergrad, Yale Law School, Wall Street experience, Biotech CEO, author, family man.
Agree, I'm certain he could accomplish plenty; but, frankly, I'll settle for just listening to a leader who is intelligent, articulate, and inspirational.
Your summary of Mr. Ramaswamy is one of the best.
🤣
@@valeriehofmann2615you laugh because you have no intelligent response. Chat bot npcs are the new way to sway a narrative but some people can see.
@@Granitepwnz 🤣 your stupidity is showing
What I understood is that the "big donors" - 'DON'T CARE WHO THE PUBLIC VOTES'....these donors know the representative has to work for them. Vivek and Trump were different and that's why Trump is facing such difficulties. Same reason why Vivek is getting pushed around by the super Pac. I hope the common American understands this point. Vote someone new..an outsider...Trump or Vivek 2024🇺🇸
Trump is out, Vivek is in.
Vote for policy. Vote for who you like is national disaster
Married to the one you like
Vote for the policy you need
@@annnguyen2400I love some of his policy proposals. I only disagree with 1 so far.
You do realize that Trump also took a lot of big donations and his tax cuts that INCREASED the debt by *$7 trillion* were most beneficial for that top 1% donor class, right? Of course you don’t, or you wouldn’t be saying such unfounded things.
@@Zarastro54I agree. I did not vote for Trump. I would not equate Trump to Vivek. You are very correct.
The only anti-war candidate.
Vivek 2024!
Imagine in January of 2033, a charismatic president hands this country to the next POTUS, already a country with renewed hope, a strong sense of purpose and identity, and full of youthful energy that’s ready to keep leaping forward… How many of you are out there like me, excited with that outlook? 👆
Vivek sounds legit man
I love Vivek.
Vivek Ramaswamy is uniquely qualified to take what President Trump started to the next level. Too often, Trump was reluctant to perform the president's most important task to enforce the law. He kept certain individuals in power to appease the other side rather than considering what was best for the country.
That's not the presidents job... He also doesn't have the power to do that.
It sounds as if you, @lperkins7536, are forgetting that there are three branches of government--executive, legislative and judicial. Before you give turnips the permission to be the dictators they all want to be, you might want to study Civics 101.
I have been an avid Trump supporter, but I am liking the reasonable side of Vivek. I think having a business man as president is a good thing.
me too. He has a strategy to drain the swamp. Trump has no strategy except to depend on the swamp to drain the swamp.
How did that worked out with 45?
@@orawhorton8778 Certainly better than the current state of the country under the leadership of Democrats - high crime, high inflation, open border policy, Ukraine War, Israel War, many liberals openly supporting Hamas terrorists, and so on. If you think the career politicians have done a great job serving the American people, keep voting for them. However, most of us have opened our eyes and want an anti-establishment candidate who is not bought and paid for by the mega donor class.
Not every CEO is ethical, moral and honest. Vivek is rare in that he made public all and in full his tax returns since he became a taxpayer at age 17. Unlike Trump, he has no history of womanizing, alcoholism, substance abuse or talking trash even in private. A man of strong character with IQ of 170,
Trump is a terrible businessman.
Vivek is awesome! Love to hear him. Thanks, USA Today.
I find it funny that one woman claims Viven can't run her kid's school as a principal when the actual principal who got elected in congress, Jamaal Bowman, pulled that fire alarm before a vote and said he couldn't tell it was a fire alarm.
Jamaal Bowman is not President though.. Where are you going with this statement?
@@cflash2785Qualifications based on experience of lower levels should not matter. Skill is skill on its own
@@FlyingT20 No. Skill is not universal. That is the equivalency of saying someone that has never worked in a restaurant in their life being given a national restaurant chain for the first time without any experience. Could they be successful maybe. High probability of failure and financial ruin. Yes. You have to walk before you run. Vivek is not President material yet. He just has a wide vocabulary and the gift of gab and people that don't "think" he sounds smart. If he wants to be President he needs to show it by putting in the time and work. Not just trying to win the spot out of no where otherwise it's just about the clout of being president.
@@cflash2785 I disagree with everything you just said but your hire is your view. Point is you don’t need political experience for politics nor do you need to have experience in the hierarchy. He is an outsider but the point is those who do have experience many times are less qualified
@@FlyingT20 You can disagree all you want and try to do mental somersaults to justify it. But the logic is solid. I said what I said.
It will be a new age in America, once the 4th branch has been dismantled.
Vivek 2024!
This man is going to have to dumb it down for 99% of Americans
I was just explaining to a lady as she gets offended when he says he'll try go into depth since he's in New Hampshire. She got him wrong. He meant his messages are those repeated scripted ones he wrote to save time, but then he's called a car salesman. Then when he states to go deep, they're offended lol
I think that is the best explanation of why he isn't ahead of DeSantis...and I like DeSantis.
@@bbwphantombcoz he dumbos it down?
@@bbwphantomDesantis is ahead because he already has political clout. No one knew who vivek was before he announced his run for president, now he's third in polls so obviously doin somtn right.
I love VR. Been following him since he first announced in Feb. I called it very early. I said this guys is the best man for the job, but the problem is, he is too good, too smart, too well spoken for the current state of our population. I believe most Americans are among the dumbest people in the world now. Anything more than Jerry springer, is just too much.
Vivek has a definite bright vision of the future for America, just pray he is not silenced by the darkness! Vivek for president! as soon as he can win!
Vivek Ramaswamy is exactly what this nation desperately needs at this point in our history. Vivek 2024!🇺🇸
US and in extension world needs a leader, he's the man with level headed temperament, knowledge and understanding of complicated issues at hand. I hope Americans make the right choice.
He may be the youngest candidate but he is also the wisest. Let’s put a Grownup in the White House! Vivek Ramaswamy 2024
Most intelligent candidate running.
I might break down if Vivek doesn’t win😹😭VIVEK 2024
Me too!
Have the tissues ready then.
Vivek 2024 !!!!
The lady at 36:12 watches CNN all the time
She only watches the opinion shows even.
@@davidmeloche3563 EXACTLY! CNN,Fox News and MSNBC have some good reporting but, it's their after 7 pm opinion show hosts(who can have good interviews when they give their guests time to talk)that cause so much confusion. Reid,Hannity,Lemon(, when he was at CNN) are all jackals(Chris Curmo's word he used describing his opinion show host colleagues to Andrew Yang). The over hour long interviews on podcasts with RFK Jr, Vivek etc. are so much more informative!
The lady starting at 36:12 had such a disrespectful tone to her question. We have our freedom, which Vivek always has been for,to ask candidates questions, protest against them,hold them accountable etc. but,we as Americans have lost our tactfulness. It's not just what we ask candidates, it's how we ask them our questions. As a former radio news producer,I learned that the best way to get information from candidates is ask a detailed question and allow them to voice their opinions, their way of approaching solutions to problems fully etc. We've become trained by the opinion show hosts on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC to treat people with aggressivness and anger. That won't get us anywhere! I disagree and agree with Vivek, RFK Jr,Tulsi and Andrew Yang on things, that's how it's supposed to be! I would not have a disrespectful tone when asking them questions. If we demand that our leaders have a respectful tone, then we must also follow our own advice!
Good tone: does the lady has minimum sense to ask a question in a polite manner ? even if you disagree, you should have a minimum respect to ask in polite manner.
Bad tone: does that B***h.... even ask a similar question to Biden ? she would be cancelled by now... i wonder how her family treats her if she is like this with everyone.
It was obviously not her own question. Some one else wrote it and she was reading it. She is part of the and befitting from the corrupt swamp.
What's worse than her tirade was the fact she left before it ended. If you're going to insult someone at least have the humility to listen. Have some character and set a good example.
100% tact is important if you really trying to understand where the other person is coming from. Insults are not helpful. Its feels childish to look for attention.
@@monk866wow! Didn't know she left which(maybe hopefully she just had an appointment)was her preogrative but,it kind of displays that she had no intention of really listening to Vivek explain his ideas and viewpoints and was just there for her own vanity. Sad!
Vivek is the need of the time, not only for America but also for the entire world . God send some peace on mother Earth 🌺

I second your opinion but at the same time think that VR will dumb it down when he is may be visiting the same people the second time around. For now it's not a bad strategy to show off his intelligence and charisma.But more than anything he comes off as a true patriot and even his dumbest audience will recognize and appreciate that.

Just seeing all the comments here, very encouraging! There are plenty of intelligent and logical citizens. I’m praying enough of this group will eventually make the difference in the final voting results.
I’ve never voted for a republican, but I would vote for him. And if he chooses to run as an independent, I’ll vote for him that way
I can't vote for a Republican in my state. If he wins the primary, I will vote for him in the general. I'm tired of the do nothing Democrats in DC. They do everything to keep power and send money abroad. We get chump change. They could have passed an abortion bill the same time they passed the ACA without a single Republican vote. But they didn't because if they had, they'd have nothing to run on at all.
There Is A Differnce Between Watching The Lame and Being Lame❤
Living on government assistance without a meaningful job, leaves a person without honor and a sense of purpose. The first thing God did for man in the Garden of Eden was give him a job to name all the animals. As a former teacher I can attest to the wonderful sense of worth a child feels when he masters a skill or an understanding.
Fatherlessness is also the single biggest issue in the Black inner-city communities that contributes to the high crime and low education rates and the government reinforces it with all the incentives they provide Black mothers with to maintain a single-parent household. The social security system we have in place now is deeply flawed and does not even help the people it is meant to help in the long run.
This is one powerful American candidate here!
I very, very much hope the lady hurling ad hominem insults at 36:00 is not in a position of influence with young people.
thank u
Vivek for 2024

Of not Trump then I'm voting for Vivek!
Either way Trump & Vivek would make a good combination to make America great again with 2 powerful leaders.

WOW Vivek, I will be able to afford so much education with $1100. Thank you sir!
He is a very smart man.
I love this guy he is like machine lot of knowledge ideas and vision for US but why nikky helly is leading PPL not liking him...why
Because polls are biased and run by establishment and so they lie. First they hyped up DeSantis...he was nothing but disaster so now they are hyping Haley which is not working either.
Don't believe it. Democrats are voting for Haley so Biden can win.
I'm liking a lot of what he said.
Vivek is one of a kind rhe likes if which we have never seen

Vivek I think would make a great VP in 2024!

This smug woman's comments reveal more about her than Vivek. She is the one spewing fast-talking nonsense. Vivek would make an excellent principal or town board member. Vivek is a self-made millionaire and doesn't need to manipulate us into thinking he's smart or savvy. He demonstrates it. He founded and is CEO of Roivant Sciences, has 5 FDA approved drugs, 12 drugs in various approval stages, and has a deal to sell one of his drugs to Roche for $7B, almost the market cap of his company. His campaign has not only laid bare America's problems but has detailed plans to address them all. There's no empty showmanship in Vivek's performance, but a lot of jealousy in hers.
Can't blame her. Those aren't her words. She's clearly a plant who was told to read a pre-scripted question.
@@eggbass I can blame her. She's an adult and as such she has free agency and what she chooses to do or say she is responsible for. In her simplistic view, Ramaswamy is working 16 hours a day, seven days a week to buy the election so he can bask in the limelight. I think it is more believable to take him at his word: the establishment uniparty is destroying the nation and he wants to, as a minimum, influence the national dialogue or, as President, to restore our 1776 ideals. We need fresh blood, and a new vision of what America can be. Ramaswamy can deliver that.
You gave chance to elite, nothing solved. Let's try someone new. Vivek 2024!
I think giving women the right to vote without the same legal consequences as men do (especially with the selective services), was a huge mistake in human history.
You should get in a time machine and go live in those times.
Very smart man and knowledgeable What will you do about Seniors Social security?
Who else is doing things like this but Vivek??????????????
