By Vivek Ramaswamy, the former Republican presidential candidate, is transitioning from the campaign trail to the streaming world. He will soon host a limited-series roundtable program titled “Truths with Vivek Ramaswamy” on the Fox Nation streaming service. The series is set to premiere on Sunday, September 22, and a shorter version will air the same evening at 10 p.m. on Fox News Channel, according to a media release.
Ramaswamy’s new show aims to present “a positive alternative to the left’s vision for the future,” offering discussions on pressing issues such as American national identity, the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, protests on U.S. college campuses, and religion. According to Ramaswamy, the program seeks to foster conversations on topics that are often overlooked in mainstream discourse.
“We are excited to launch this new series showcasing Mr. Ramaswamy’s thoughtful and unique perspective on the state of American politics after his meteoric rise over the last year,” said Lauren Petterson, president of Fox Nation, in a statement. The platform will air five episodes of the show, which is expected to delve deeply into the issues conservatives care about while offering fresh viewpoints.
The show, writes Variety, will feature an eclectic panel of guests, including Ramaswamy’s wife, Apoorva Ramaswamy; journalist Matt Taibbi; theoretical physicist Steven Koonin; Ben Zimmer, CEO of Priovant Therapeutics; and Rabbi Shmully Hecht. These guests will engage in what Ramaswamy describes as “provocative dinner table conversations,” a space for robust dialogue that, in his view, has become rare in today’s polarized political climate.
“Today, conservatives know what we’re against. But what exactly do we stand for? To answer that question, we need to talk to every American, not just those who agree with us,” Ramaswamy said in a statement. He linked the show’s premise to his upcoming book Truths: The Future of America-First, which tackles similar themes.
In addition to the roundtable series, Fox Nation will release another special, “Just Ask: Vivek Ramaswamy,” on Friday, September 20. This hour-long forum, taped in Philadelphia, will feature Ramaswamy answering questions from a live audience. The forum will be moderated by Pete Hegseth, the weekend co-host of “Fox & Friends,” adding yet another opportunity for Ramaswamy to present his vision for America’s future to viewers across the nation.
Vivek will be hitting the campaign trail this week, heading to Springfield, Ohio, reported The Cincinnati Enquirer.
“The event, open to the public, will take place in the industrial Ohio town at the epicenter of the nation’s immigration debate and presidential race.
Ramaswamy’s team is “inviting diverse voices from the local community, including Haitian immigrants,” to the town hall, according to the press release.
Since ending his presidential campaign in January after a fourth-place finish in the Iowa Caucuses, Ramaswamy hasn’t announced his future political plans. During the Republican National Convention, said he’d “strongly consider” running for senator in Ohio if Sen. JD Vance should become vice president. Raised in Evendale, outside Cincinnati, Ramaswamy now lives in the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington.”
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine recently claimed that “reported bomb threats against various sites in Springfield, Ohio, that have been blamed on Republican rhetoric surrounding the Haitian migrant crisis in the town were all ‘hoaxes.’
‘Thirty-three threats; Thirty-three hoaxes,’ Gov. Mike DeWine announced during a press conference. ‘I want to make that very, very clear. None of these had any validity at all.’
DeWine said during the press conference that many of the threats came from ‘overseas.'”
Over the past few days, Democrats have used the fake bomb threats as a way to place the blame on Trump for being targeted for assassination rather than focusing on their own dangerous rhetoric that has called the former president a threat to American democracy and compared him to Hitler.
