We're hanging out with Vivek Ramoswamy. How's it going, man?

I appreciate that, man. You got that. He nailed that pronunciation. I try. I respect that. Yeah, that's good.

Well, we had you on Timcast, IRL before.

It was fun.

And before I had you on the show, I was saying Vivek. And everybody says Vivek, because it's just, I don't know, anglicized or whatever.

I would also say that's very fair because it is spelled V-I-V-E-K. So that is a pretty phonetic

pronunciation, but the way it's pronounced is Vivek. There we go. I think we set the record

straight for everybody who's been following along. But you're running for president, huh?

Yeah. It's been about all of six weeks now.

Six weeks.

Yeah, five weeks, maybe six weeks.

I got a million to one questions, but let's just jump into it.

Why?

What's going on?

Republican and why Republican or why president or all of it?

Yeah.

I mean, look, so politics is not my world.

I'm not a politician. I was in the world of, we can talk about, I was in a world of business and biotech.

You ended up transitioning from that to writing books about our culture. Still didn't think that partisan politics was where it was at for me. But my basic reason for being in this is I think we're in the middle of this national identity crisis.

We're lost.

I have a more extreme way of describing it, I suppose.
