Top Episodes Quotes
- “If you actually talk to human beings, from New York to California to the midwest, 80% of us in this country share the same values in common right now. And I think half the 20% that we think are on the other side are people who are younger than me, who never learned those values in the first place, who I think will come along believing in free speech, meritocracy, the pursuit of excellence, the rule of law, just basic rules of the road that regardless of race or political affiliation, even 80 plus percent of us in this country, I think, still are united around certain basic principles.“ by Vivek Ramaswamy
