The problem with Vivek is he had a far different energy against trump after Jan 6 when he tweeted this: "What Trump did on Jan 6 was wrong, downright abhorrent! Plain and simple! " - Vivek on Jan 6 insurrection But he soon changed his tune on trump whenn trump survived all the criticism. Vivek needs to stop being a cuck to trump in order to be taken seriously by the majority of the people!

Yes agreed. The career politicians believe they know what’s best. It’s call Elitism or they feel entitled that they are better than the common informed people.

I can't say he won my vote for this election, considering I expected him to drop out and endorse Trump - which he did. I was and still am going to vote for Trump no matter what but Vivek 100% has my vote for the future. He is the best possible option for President after Trump because, just like Trump, Vivek isn't a politician who is bought and paid for. Vivek has more than enough money to support his own campaign without having to take orders from donors. And ultimately, he will run this country how it should be run, like a flourishing business.

I'm currently a senior in high school and just turned 18 today. It's been interesting trying to figure out who I want to vote for. I really liked this episode and Vivek gave me a lot of good impressions. I've been taking AP US Government this year and I have learned about things such as historical examples of corruption in the bureaucratic system, and I'm glad to see him address that. I have no political bias toward any particular party, I just want what's best for the country, such as getting rid of our government's hundreds of billions in wasteful spending every year (which is widely known yet nobody ever changes anything). It appears that Vivek has similar ideas and I'll definitely have to learn more about him and give him legitimate consideration.

[@neowolf09]

This is a fair position. I'll be shocked if you can find a better candidate. But that's just my perspective. I'm glad that you're not going to be falling for the party line divide that's been destroying our country. And I'm also glad that you're not choosing blind loyalty to a single candidate either. I will say that I think Vivek's manner of discourse is what is so sorely lacking in modern politics. Even if the worst comes to be, I still think we can at least learn that from him. Good luck out there in this crazy world. And welcome to adulthood! Sorry we millennials haven't made things much better, but to be fair it has been quite the uphill battle. 😊

[@SwawesomeT]

what you learned in school is all made up lmao you'll hopefully figure it out in the next ten years

[@AlmarWinfield]

I like Vivek the most too i think, but Trump would be my second choice. I am 50/50 on Trump though because I don't know if he will truly do what he says and lay off most of Washington DC and (this time) not hire people who are part of the Swamp. Trump really demonstrated how deep the Swamp goes and how it's so hard to get rid of it. He was the first President I ever voted for in my life (and i didnt in 2016, only in 2020) because he went against the Establishment. I am 33 for context. I'd like to see Vivek run again in 2028 if he loses this time because I would love to vote for him if given the opportunity. I'll never vote for an Establishment candidate in my entire life - people like Desantis are too poltiics as usual for me even though I think he does good things in Florida. RFK I feel kinda the same about, he is anti Establishment though it seems and I would give him a try with no other opportunities. Ultimately though, we're never going to change anything if we keep voting for establishment candidates - that's my perspective. We can only fix the country by picking someone outside of the establishment who is willing to get us back to normalcy.

[@Detritus0311]

I would highly reccomend you read as much of the debates happening at the time of the founding fathers. So much of that is applicable to what is actually important as we select candidates today. Welcome to the voting class!

[@indusrealty4617]

Son, don't fall for political rhetoric, you are too young to be influenced by charlatans like Vivek. Government need to spend money on services - are we over spending - no doubt about it - we need to bring down spending on defense for one thing. But how is this one guy who is going to be elected President going to change that. Remember the idiot Trump - oh you were too young then - promised so many things and didn't CHANGE A THING? Except run the country in to 8 trillion more debt because he removed taxes for the rich? Voting for democrats is the only way to bring sanity to the government, since you are young watch more both sides of the story, hopefully you will understand.

[@marybethwestbrook6870]

Candidates go out of their way to avoid the spotlight - this guy revels in it. He's got this super high level of introspection, has truly thought through his world view, knows history. We've been exposed to decades of incompetent, out-of-touch politicians; it's refreshing to see someone who is willing to engage in thoughtful debate on policy, but is also willing to open up and share some detail from his personal life. I don't think it's his time now, but his voice needs to be a part of the conversation, and leaders need to listen.

I am the same age as Vivek and have a 13yr old son. I think about parenting and life similar to the way Vivek does, and it makes me wonder if some of it is related to an overall zeitgeist our age group has on average (elder millennial/young gen X)? I always liked the Native American proverb that says roughly, "Our children are a gift from the creator, and they come to the world through us, not from us " (we don't own our children, they come from God and have a unique purpose). He is also right about knowing if someone is right. When you look for common values, morals, money ideas, and life goals along with a gut feeling combined...you just know pretty quickly. I began dating my husband at 20yrs old, married my husband at 22yrs old once we were done with college, and we have been married for 16yrs. The longer we are married the more I understand what love is, and the more deeply I love him. Now that I am older I think back on the people that thought it was better to wait until getting older to marry, but I think they are dead wrong. The right age to marry is when you find the right person...no matter how soon or how late in life that comes, grab them when it happens!! My husband said he knew a couple -few dates in, but was afraid to say anything out of fear of scaring me off.

Yes, I believe it's the perfect timing for his message but Trump is more popular than ever...and if he can't beat Trump this time, will he try again? I sure hope so! Or if he does win, I love his idea of bringing Trump on as an advisor

[@Sara_The_Feral_Housewife]

I think he's right about knowing someone is right for you very quickly. I saw my husband for the first time when I was about 14. I still remember where we were and what he was wearing. I told my friends standing by me that he was mine. We didn't become friends for several years but we decided to get married a few weeks into dating. We had to wait until I turned 18 and graduated HS. I married him when I was 18 and we're still happily married to this day with 3 kids!

[@shashiprabha8283]

This conversation is really useful. Got to know a lot of inner information. I hope Vivek is nominated. All the best !

[@parascythe2178]

As a 23 yr old Indian American, the way Vivek describes arranged marriages in the modern world is just how I see it too. Like, I'm pretty cultural/religious and rather than spend all my time, money, resources on actively dating, I'd prefer to trust my familly to set me up with who's best for me. Of course, I'm open to organic relationships or passively dating, but right now I'd rather prioritize my education and career to make myself a better suitor for when my family starts looking for matches. I especially think his point on AI matchmaking with dating apps is spot on and never really made that connection till now.

[@PSEUDObrucelee]

Arranged marriage is related to caste system .like marrying in the same caste and choosing caste profession .the caste system today is irrelevant. So dating is better choice .vivek is a brahmin by the way

[@matthewdurkee5673]

Instantly clicked on this. I really enjoy Viveks perspective.

[@bobbyloads]

Vivek doing his rounds. Have to respect that he goes to both sides and holds his ground.

[@catherinegrace2366]

I support Viveck. I like listening to him. I’m not voting for him for President but I would like to see him in politics.

[@bobbyloads]

@@catherinegrace2366 don’t he he will make it that far to be able to vote for but if he did I would consider it

[@alexrosario423]

Every time I hear Vivek speak, and the way he thinks, I can't help but think that this man is probably the closest a person has come to the vision of the man who should lead this nation that the founding fathers had in mind when designing our government. He's just an exceptional American.

[@anandjha9393]

This is a perfect way to chat and discuss. Loved it. I have seen vivek’s other interviews/discussion where they push their agenda but this is a good discussion and good to see many sides of vivek.

[@neowolf09]

Did you see Vivek on TYT? He handled himself well under pressure imo. And on the debate stage surrounded by Republicans. I'm shocked he hasn't been assassinated yet tbh, knowing what we do about JFK, MLK and others.

[@FaithLifeConservative]

Went to my local Starbucks..Vivek asking me, "The usual?"... This man is undefeated. 🇺🇲

[@Aesyrbane]

Great job guys, not only did you ask some good auestions but you all seemed to have genuine fun in the conversation.

[@JohnLincolnUSA]

Great podcast- great stuff guys. Glad to see 2 talented & intelligent young folks interviewing a very talented and intelligent Vivek. Kudos and well done!

[@User23zfhh]

Loving this interview 💯 With Vivek. So very sharp and down to earth. His stance on his mandate as a politician. His thoughts on dating is so genuine and dignified. ❤

[@JosephQuillen]

Vivek2024!! This is great!

[@SEXYwigumz]

You guys are killing the podcast game. Love to see the wide range of guests and it’s awesome that with Vivek, you guys got to talk about things he doesn’t talk of much. Keep crushing it!

[@CMA418]

I’m 6 mins in. Do they end up asking him any tough questions before the end?

[@DavidRussellM]

This channel spreads lies while the founder attacks others. They don't care about you, the dictator forces the guest to say how much money the asshole makes.

[@mohamedgoldstein5565]

What a breath of fresh air.

I've become a super fan of Vivek, easiest decision to vote for him. Great interview, got him deeper, lots tried but he steam rolled them Jack stayed at it and made it special nice work!

[@shanayao509]

Thank you for the amazing guests lately! You guys are awesome. And go Jack - great questions!

[@froukjematthews3421]

This was a great interview guys! You asked relevant questions that young people would like the answer to and ponder on but may not know how to ask it. Vivek was honest and open and obviously knows himself so well that he can articulate with integrety what he stands for.

[@Ahem2002]

I am so glad that you are no longer dodging this topic, well done guys. Its crucial to get this perspective from you representing the younger perspective.

[@markksantos]

Love Vivek! Love Jack! Love Graham! Congrats for getting Vivek on the show! #VIVEK2024!

[@whitneyryshae]

I've embraced every Vivek video I possibly can and it just boggles my mind that people I talk to haven't even heard of him..... I hope everyone that is supporting Vivek isn't reluctant to share about him to all those that dont watch YT or podcasts.

[@ashton.m]

He would definitely benefit from his audience pushing Vivek consciousness, seeing as he has no Superpac doing that work for him. Name recognition is difficult in broader public cuz people's habitual ways of info consumption, and just info inundation.

[@whitneyryshae]

@@ashton.m Yeah it'd be nice to see those little random pop up stands that sell Trump merch but for Vivek. lol

[@ashton.m]

@@whitneyryshae hehe I edited and uploaded short vids on his policy positions, for when I'm telling ppl about his candidacy

[@Kyle-mi5lp]

Vivek is outworking every other candidate in this race by miles. These types of unfiltered long form discussions humanize Vivek and make him more personable.

[@ienjoyxmas]

Viveks advice on relationship was incredible. Really needed to hear that.

[@4est919]

This was such a great interview! Really appreciate the team's thought in the questions asked. Showcased a lot of fun discussion topics but also relevant in understanding how Vivek thinks. This is my first time having the means to be able to donate to a campaign. And I think I know where I'll donate first haha

[@NicholasUnger]

Was not expecting this, but super excited for this podcast! Been loving Vivek the more I hear from him and glad you got him on!!

Hes gonna get into office and send himself back to the motherland😱🤣

[@leahrenee0525]

Its mainly about liberals understanding America’s TRUE history. The reason why racism still exists is because of the Democrats decades ago. A lot of them don’t know that their party is the party that created slavery and the KKK. The party switch was about the big and small government for the most part. The reason why Democrats say that is because the Republican Party apposed JFK’s (Dem pres) The New Deal. The reason why Republicans apposed these programs was because they thought they made the government too powerful. This is when the switch happened! The Republican Party was huge while the Democrats were small. They switched and it’s like that to this day!

[@cuyxjrplays]

Nah he got some awful legislations especially with the school system

[@adonis2day1]

I believe Vivek is the DaVinci of politics like Musk is the DaVinci of innovation..God SPEED to both!!!

[@gerrilanter1965]

💯 1:22:11 😂 Vivek is genuine! I love his reaction to the impersonator. It's a good sign that he's appealing to smart, young Americans, too. I hope they find that dude and bring him on the show. 😅 BTW, I agree with 99% of what Vivek stands for, and the way he's doing what he does. I love when he speaks TRUTH at the Republican debates. He doesn't want to CHANGE America, like Obama's deceptive & infamous double speak... Vivek wants to RESTORE America Constitutionally, to SMALL government BY the People! ❤ love him!! We need thousands more like him!

[@ashb920]

I watch graham Stephen all the time but this other guy don’t know his name (I’m sorry) but for a 24 year old wow such great intellect and questions I loved it. 🎉❤

That Vivek has been able to gather the support he has should give us all faith in the system created by our founding. Keep running up that hill, Vivek! Great questions guys! You were able to show us more than we’d seen before.

[@nj8215]

I have so much respect and admiration for Vivek. I absolutely love the way he stands up for the truth and works hard to exposed corruption with no fear. Amazing man.

[@hsanghvi312]

Excellent excellent interview! Best interview so far of Vivek. He is a once in life time candidate. Listening about the superpacs makes me think, all who appreciates him should contribute money towards his campaign. He is young, we need him to be active in our nations political dialogue.

[@neowolf09]

I agree most definitely with the last line. Even at the very least I think we would do well to learn from how he handles conversations.

[@GCInvesting]

Amazing pod! Good job guys!

[@beautyandbrainz]

I love every podcast and interview of Vivek. He’s articulate, intelligent, personable, charismatic, full of energy and wisdom. I hope to have him as president whether it’s in 2024 or 2028. Definitely tough competition when you’re going against Trump and his MAGA supporters.

[@neowolf09]

I've seen discourse among trump supporters that suggests them coming around. He's just a better option imo because he's so respectful to the opposition while at the same time not playing the game. And to add I haven't seen trump on a single podcast. But Vivek's been everywhere I can think of and even on podcasts I never knew existed.

[@lukemiller539]

Jack is on point on these interviews. Keep it up!

[@user-yj4br6yg5r]

Feel as jack gets better graham gets quieter and he's not so happy about that

Vivek has studied every issue in detail - such scrupulousness is rarely seen among other candidates. Don’t Americans deserve a president who doesn’t brush aside the details that can make or break American lives?

[@basedlifeform5413]

40:15 Regarding the relationship/marriage segment: Vivek is right that marriage minded people will know within a relatively short amount of time if they’ve found their match. But the key is just that, they both have to be marriage minded. Our current culture teaches young people to treat relationships like a consumption experience, something that is there to serve their desires. Also, most young people approach dating extremely casually instead of with clear intention. My wife and I met at the age of 19, dated and got engaged two and a half months in, then married three months later; a total of five and a half months from “hello” to “I do.” We celebrate our 26th anniversary this month. 😊

[@rosecady6821]

My ex-husband, an American born Malaysian Muslim, is happily married due to an arranged marriage. After our failed marriage and then another shorter lived marriage, he finally took his mother's advice and went the arranged marriage route. It was the best choice he could've ever made. What he thought he wanted and what he really needed were 2 very different things.

[@MartinNeduEgwuagu]

How about saying, thanks guys for an informative interview.

I can’t get enough of this guy. My views align with his. I’ve been donating to him but today I’m going to donate extra to give him the one last push that I think he needs before the primary. Best of luck!
