‘He’s Worth Listening To’: Tucker Carlson Sits Down with Vivek Ramaswamy in Episode 17 of ‘Tucker on Twitter’

In episode 17 of his newest production, “Tucker on Twitter,” former Fox News primetime host Tucker Carlson sat down with GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

During his interview with Carlson, Ramaswamy argued that America is at a point where the “government and the broader establishment believe that the citizens of the nation cannot be trusted with the truth.”

“What do we know about Hunter Biden’s dealings? What do we know about the truth of what happened on January 6? What do we know about that Nashville shooter manifesto? Yes, we can handle the truth. Just give me the hard truth,” Ramaswamy said.

When Carlson commented that it feels like the country is on a “cusp of chaos,” Ramaswamy said, “there’s something going on.”

“We’re like in a 1775 – spring of 1776 moment,” Ramaswamy described the current energy in the country.

Later in the interview, Ramaswamy explained that he expressed his opinions publicly before thinking about what those things may mean for his political campaign, but acknowledged that his rise in the polls proved his strategy successful.

Ramaswamy noted that his stance on Ukraine, for example, has put a lot of potential donors “on pause,” due to him being the only candidate in the GOP primary that has a “principled position” on Ukraine.

The presidential hopeful further positioned himself as one of the only candidates in the race not under donor pressure.

“I’m unconstrained on what I’m able to say and that allows me to speak the truth that a lot of people in this country recognize to be the truth, which is that we have no discernable national interest at issue in Ukraine… We are driving Russia further into China’s arms as we arm Ukraine, further strengthening what I see as the single greatest military threat that the United States certainly has faced since WWII,” Ramaswamy said.

Following the interview, Carlson called Ramaswamy one of the “best versed voices in policy” he’s talked to in a long time.

As of press time, the latest installment of Carlson’s video podcast, posted at 4:10 p.m. Central Standard Time on Thursday, had 9.3 million views. The 17 episodes posted by @TuckerCarlson have been seen 662.9 million times on Twitter / X.

Carlson’s interview with Ramaswamy comes after his sit-down chats with Democrat presidential candidate RFK Jr, former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, the Tate brothers, Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Devon Archer, and actor Ice Cube.
