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

No, you, you have to have this spine of steel to cut through what that short term advice is you're getting. And I'll tell you, certainly, I intend to do whatever I can for this country, both in the next four years and beyond. But my voice on this will be crystal clear. And President Trump knows that's my view on it.

And I believe he shares it deeply, is that all else equal, getting there and shut down as much of the excess bureaucracy as we can, do it as quickly as possible. And that's a big part of how we save our country.

Sure. And so it goes back to that original discussion we had is what are the few proper roles of the federal government? I gave you two. One is of the government period. Right. One is to protect the national borders and sovereignty of the United States, and two is to protect private property rights. There's a lot else.

So for everything else the federal government should not be doing, the one thing they should be doing is to protect the homeland of the United States of America and the sovereignty and sanctity of our national borders. So in that domain, that's mission aligned with a proper purpose for the federal government. I think we're a nation founded on the rule of law.
