The Hello everybody so what I did today was the culmination or at least the culmination

for now of a sequence of talks that I've had with Vivek Ramaswami,

who many of you know, perhaps the majority of view, that he was a contender on the presidential circuit on the Republican side, a young man who came really

as an unknown into the race, although he had quite a substantial history of accomplishment

behind him. And one of the things we've done with the

podcast is track his progress both as a candidate and also as a person across the expanse of the presidential circuit and that's been extremely

interesting and illuminating and he was quite successful and one of the

consequences of that is appears to be the case that he's entered the close

circle of the fundamental contender for the presidency now Donald Trump and so

what did we do in this discussion?

Well, one of the consequences of Rama Swami's journey

has been the modification and specification

of his political and philosophical views, and he's written a new book called. modification and

he's written a new book called Truths,

the Future of America First, which launches on September 24th.

And so we walked through that, we walked through the chapters, detail out his attempt to put forward

something like a conservative vision rather than the more standard

conservative objections to the revolutionary vision of the progressives.

And so we discussed his proposition that a state that's functional and a psyche that's functional for that matter has to be predicated on

some allegiance to a higher power, a higher authority. God is real is one of the insistences of his chapters in the new book, Truths, that there are two sexes.

We discussed the climate change, hoax, and what exactly.

It means that it's a hoax.
