 Vivek Ramaswamy has officially dropped out of the presidential race, but now a lot of people are wondering, is he going to be Donald Trump's vice president? All I knew is that I'm going to be picking between two people, Nikki Haley or Vivek Ramaswamy to find Indian Americans. That's what it's come down to. Um, and we got to talk about this because Vivek Ramaswamy, he is South Asian. He's a Hindu and he actually got 8% of the vote in Iowa, but that that was like better than some people predicted, worse than he predicted. But ultimately it caused him to drop out of the race in terms of trying to be the president himself. Yeah. Basically, if you don't perform in Iowa, it gives you a pretty strong like it's symbolic of how you're going to do and perform in the rest of the presidential race. That is how, uh, Andrew Yang ended up dropping out in 2020 after he got like, he didn't do too well in Iowa as well. Yes. So, uh, but yeah, Vivek running as a Republican obviously went viral. We understand. We've covered him on this channel before he, uh, he's kind of this young, young guy for the Republicans. Now, whether or not or not you agree with what he says, I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but I will tell you this man, the man is like for their side for the Republican side. He's a young star. Yeah. He's almost like, uh, just injecting something like so new into the right. Like we said, guys, we are not political ourselves, certainly do not agree with a lot of things that Vivek says or, or his viewpoints, but I have to say, man, he had a lot of energy. Yeah. So anyways, we're going to go over the reaction. What are some possibilities? Do you even care about the presidential race? Are you voting for Democrat Republican or whatever? I don't know what it's going to happen. So please hit that like button. Check out other episodes of the hop hop boys, but also check out small sauce because small sauce, it's, it's a bipartisan sauce here guys. Democrat Republican independent forward party. Check it out. There's like a lot of viral news around this right now, whether it's jokes about Vivek dropping out that went viral. Some people are accusing this website of being racist. There was like a Republican website that has him in like a 7-Eleven costume. All right. I'm not going to lie. That's crazy. And then, um, other people are saying that people in Iowa were scared of his name. So even though he tried really hard to appeal to, I guess the middle America voter, ultimately they couldn't get over his look and his name and the fact that he was not Christian. I don't think that's actually the biggest part. I really don't think, bro. I think it's because they don't know who he is. Obviously, if you're voting between Donald Trump, a white guy who was already president that everybody knows, everybody in the world knows him. And then Ron DeSantis, who has been talked about for the last four or five years ever since COVID because he was a good governor in Florida or he handled that, I guess that situation better than people thought. So I guess to me, he's just the new young buck, but he made his name this election run, but there was no way he was going to win. Right. I mean, I guess is it interesting to look at him like he was the Andrew Yang of the right side of 2024 because Andrew Yang made a splash on the Democrat side in 2020. I would say he ended to be on a stronger than Andrew Yang relative on his side. But anyways, guys, um, David, a lot of people are wondering because there's this video clip of now since he dropped out and he backed Donald Trump because every time you drop out, even though you were talking crap about a president, you got to join their side. You got to back some but the vet was the one Republican candidate who has not trashed talk. Donald Trump hasn't trashed Donald Trump that much. That's true. I believe he was the one that was staying the most away from it, even amongst Nikki Haley and DeSantis. So he was kind of setting himself up to run for Donald Trump's vice president because Donald Trump really likes the guy, apparently. Right. So basically some people are saying that the, I guess all the political consultants are going to tell Trump to run Nikki Haley or DeSantis. Because Nikki Haley being a mother, a woman, she's, it's like it's going to capture the different markets, right? Or something or that because they say that general elections tend to be more emotional based and more narrative based. Yeah. You're going to see Nikki Haley, a woman and Donald Trump, and that's going to help balance out how much people don't like Trump. But there's some people are saying that Trump himself personally probably likes Vivek the most. Right, right, right. Well, I guess no one knows what's going to happen. But I guess I know that some people watch our channel. They actually support Donald Trump. So I guess like, would you support him if Vivek was his running mate? Right. But David, you know what's crazier? And this is the Asian aspect of all this. And this is why we cover it, guys, because we cover everything, Democrat and Republican. You're saying Joe Biden is going to rerun with Kamala Harris, who is half Indian, half South Indian, half South Indian. Right. And then potentially Donald Trump is going to run with either Nikki Haley, who is Punjabi or Vivek Ramaswamy as his VP, who is. So both VPs on either side are going to be of South Asian descent. Yes. So there's going to be an old white guy with a vice president that is of South Asian descent. And that's almost probably what's going to happen unless Dean Phillips gets that far. Shout out to Dean. And here's the crazy thing. There is a high likelihood, especially if Biden gets reelected, that Kamala Harris at some point in the next four years has to step in and become president or run for president. Right. No, I'm saying will become the president because Joe Biden will probably I'm not like you just like you mean he'll get or something will happen. Like he'll be in the hot. You're just predicting that his health will be to a point where he cannot operate as president for some amount of time. It wouldn't shock me. You mean like you wouldn't be shocked if Kamala Harris had to step in as president for like six months of if the last six months of the if Biden's having like complications. Oh, geez. Gosh, it's crazy to say. I will say this. A lot of people were saying that Vivek is the most opportunistic and insincere guy. He was just seeking power through the shortest possible path. He was willing to say anything to energize the base. Like he basically like mathematically calculatedly looked at the issues and was like, yeah, I'm a double down on that. I'm a triple down on that. And that's how I'm going to get rich. That's how I'm going to get famous. And that's how I'm going to get my status points up in the right wing party. It is how it seemed, guys. I know Vivek is very sharp. He's very smart. He's very successful. I'm not taking that away. And by his age, I will not have accomplished that much. But I'm not going to lie. It definitely came off as that. That is unbiasedly speaking. That is how it felt. It did seem like he was running his campaign like an entrepreneur that was almost like selling something on Shark Tank. Yes. I mean, he did a pretty good job. But I think that's how people feel from it. They're like, whoa, this guy's like, anyways, I guess. Yeah, you're right. His execution ability was high. Somebody said that he's just a young huckster. Trump is an old huckster. Why does everybody in America fall for hucksters continuously? Well, you know what's funny is that America, you could say, has as much information as many. Everybody's as smart as they've ever been, apparently. Educated. Everybody has as much information as ever. There will never be less information than there is now unless all the computers shut down. So I'm saying you think people are getting smarter, but people are still behaving off of their most animal human instincts, which is just to like things that appeal to them. Oh, that guy feels right. I'm voting for him. That guy's part of my tribe. That guy says something I like. That's the one issue I care about. I'm emotionally invested in this guy. That's how people are going to be voting. And most people actually only activate themselves, Andrew, from a dormant state for national elections. Like people do not stay engaged with the local politics of their region. I mean, there's like a very, very low voter turnout for the more micro your elections go. So I guess long story short, Andrew, what do you think is going to happen? I saw a lot of discussion of this on the American born daisies subreddit. A lot of people were saying this, a lot of people were saying that. A lot of people think that he's almost like the Obama on the right. You know what I mean? Because he's got like, you know, he even jacked that Obama's thing. He's like a, I'm a young guy with a funny name. I think that I think the general view for most people that I understand are like, yo, Vivek has said a lot of crazy stuff and he's spoken on a bunch of conspiracy theories and it seems like he just, it seems like he kind of came out of nowhere too. Obviously to become president, you don't need experience in politics though, as we can tell, right? So who's to say who's not fit to be president? But I will say this, obviously, Donald Trump is well known and he's been famous for decades, you know, to people in America. So that's why he's able to win while Vivek has only been famous for like half a year. Right. You know what I mean? So I guess we'll see what happens guys. I guess it is really interesting that both all the potential VPs potentially, Joe Biden's VP is gonna be half Indian Kamala Harris. Obviously she's, they'd run again. And then Donald Trump is either gonna probably pick Nikki Haley or Vivek Ramaswamy. And that's really interesting. So yeah. I will say this. That's the Asian aspect. Americans love celebrities because it goes back to Ronald Reagan, Jesse Ventura, et cetera, et cetera. I'll say this, I think it's really interesting when you get business people in politics because it is true that they've accomplished more in their life rather than be career politicians. But it's also true that politics doesn't work like a business. It's so clunky and there's so many parts that are so like unagreable. It's not gonna be like pushing out like a new Apple product or a pharmaceutical product. Like the whole mechanisms of the watch work are so rusty and so complicated and so convoluted. That's why I think it's hard to get things done. Yeah, it's really weird nowadays that everybody has access to this information of like, oh, the institutions are corrupt and this company has owned this. Everybody is just- Black Rock is manipulating everything from the top down, right? No, America is just one big corporation that's owned by the same thing and these people are in charge. And then like, and then it's just how do you trust your even like voting systems? But I'm gonna leave on this quote and I'll probably say it again in another video. This is from Edward O. Wilson, a author. And this is a pretty viral quote that everybody talks about. The real danger is that humanity has paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. Godlike technology, you can get all the information coming from different places all at once, but you're very just, we're just emotional creatures. Yeah, and I actually think America doesn't think it's tight to be hyper-intellectual and like neutral and balanced because I feel like even Germans, like the way they vote would be more like, well, yeah, we just balanced it out to like in our mind with the equation for our priorities and everybody in America is like, nah, that's nerdy, let's get fired up. And that's probably on both sides. Yeah, maybe we should have an unbiased AI just pick our next like 10 presidents, man. I don't know. Anyways, guys, let me know in the comments down below what happens with Vivek Ramaswamy. Do you even care? If you don't care, then I guess don't leave a comment and don't watch the video, but let us know because he did make waves and he is an Asian guy. He's never said he's Asian. He said he's Indian, but I'm assuming, you know, he would say he's Asian, but I don't know. So anyways, guys, let me know in the comments down below and until next time, we out, peace.
