#445 โ€“ Vivek Ramaswamy: Trump, Conservatism, Nationalism, Immigration, and War

You can do it at a smaller scale, but at that scale, it only happens if that's your top priority, because then as president, you're in a position to say, I know in the super short run that might even make it a little bit harder for me to do this other thing that I want to do and use the regulatory state to do it. But I'm going to pass on that. I'm going to pass that up.

I'm going to bear that hardship and inconvenience because I know this other goal is more important on the scale of decades and centuries for the country. So it's a question of prioritization. And certainly my own view is that now is a moment where that needs to be a top priority for saving this country. And if there's one thing about my campaign, I was if I was to do it again.

I would be even clearer about because I talked about a lot of things in the campaign and we can cover a lot of that, too. But if there's one thing that I care about more than anything else is dismantling that bureaucracy and more of moreover, it is a. It's an assault and a crusade on the nanny state itself. And that nanny state presents itself in several forms. There's the entitlement state.

That's the welfare state presents itself in the form of the regulatory state. That's what we're talking about. And then there's the foreign nanny state where effectively we are subsidizing other countries that aren't paying their fair share of protection or other resources we provide them.

If I was to summarize my ideology in a nutshell, it is to terminate the nanny state in the United States of America in all of its forms, the entitlement state, the regulatory state, and the foreign policy nanny state. Once we've done that, we've revived the republic that I think would make George Washington proud.

So I think the nanny state, I'm against it overall. I'm against the foreign policy nanny state as well. Let me start from that as the starting off point, and then I'll tell you about my views on the DOD and our defense. First of all, I think that and I think that it was easy for many people from the neocon school of thought to caricature my views with the media at their side.

But actually, my own view is. If it's in the interest of the United States of America to provide certain levels of protection to U.S. allies, we can do that as long as those allies actually pay for it. And I think it's important for two reasons. The less important reason. still important reason. The less important reason is it's still money for us, right?
