>> let's say hello to everybody. good to see you. >> [applause] >> we are in this for the reason. my parents came to this country with no money. they came 40 years ago. in a single generation, i have found it multiple multibillion-dollar companies, married a throat surgeon, saving lives every day of the week at ohio state cancer hospital. we did it while raising our two sons who are napping right now. talk about praising god. that is the american dream. we are worried that that dream

will not exist for our two boys and their generation unless we step up and do something about it. we are in a war, not a war between black and white like the media would have you believe. it is not even between democrats and republicans, not really. it is far deeper. it is a war between those of us in the united states of america who love our country, who believe that all men are created equal, and doubt by their creator with certain inalienable -- endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, believe that if you get ahead in this country, not on the color of your skin but the content of your character, who believe in free speech and open debate and you get to stick your mind in the open as long as i get to in return, who believe that this --

these ideals form the backbone of the greatest nation known to man. even though we are imperfect, we are still founded on the pursuit of a more perfect union, the pursuit of liberty, equality, justice for all. that is one side of this war. on the other, we have this fringe minority. they believe that your identity is based on genetics -- race, gender, sexuality -- who believe that if you are black you are at a disadvantage and if you are white you are privileged to matter your background. who believe we have to stop burning carbon, even if we ship carbon emissions to places like china, who believe in protecting somebody else's border but that protecting our border is xenophobic. if you disagree with anything i just said, that means you are

automatically tarred with one of these labels -- racist, homophobic, election denier. that is the other side of this war. icon this a war because there is no middle ground. -- i call this a war because there is no middle ground. either you believe in free speech or you believe in censorship. you cannot have both. you believe in american exceptionalism where you believe in american apologism. you cannot have both. we need a commander-in-chief who will lead us to victory in that war. you cannot win a war if you are asleep at the switch. if two sons graduate from high school before we have gotten this right, i do not think we have a country left. it will have to be a commander-in-chief who cannot be captured by special interests.

every politician dances to the tune of their biggest donor. in my case, that donor is me. i will keep it that way. but i think it will take now more than ever a fresh leader, somebody from the next generation who can lead a new generation of young americans. and i want to have a conversation with you guys. we grew up in a generation where we were taught to celebrate our diversity and differences, so much that we forgot that we are bound by that, in the ideals that set that country into motion in 1776. we believe those ideals still exist. e pluribus unum means something.

it means from many one. here so that here is how we will get that back, all of us speaking the truth in the open, saying in public what you would otherwise say in private, say it with a spine, conviction, respect. part of respect is you respect your neighbor enough to tell them what you actually think. that is what this campaign is about, speaking the truth, not just when it is easy, not just for the other side, but in our own tribe as well. you see me do that on the debate stage. you cannot just push it to the democrats. acknowledge failures and corruption in our party as well. god is real. there are two genders. fossil fuels are a requirement

for human prosperity. reverse racism is racism. an open border is not a border. parents determine the education of their children. the nuclear family is the greatest form of government known to mankind. capitalism lifts us up from poverty. there are three branches of government in the united states, not four. the u.s. constitution is the greatest guarantor of freedom in human history. that is the truth. >> [applause] >> we stand up for the truth. that is what won us the american revolution. that is what reunited us after the civil war. that is what won us two civil war's and the cold war. that is what still gives hope to the free world. if we can revive that greed -- dream over group identity,

nobody in the world, not a nation, not a corporation, not china is going to defeat us. that is what american exceptionalism is all about. that is what we will revive to save this country. thank you for coming out. do not hold back. that is good. tell me your name. we will give you the microphone. >> my name is sharon. i was hiking the way up here -- thinking on the way up here, what if you do not get the nomination? are you interested in saying right my name in? >> do you mean like going rogue? i am not a plan b person. we did not get to where we are in this american way of life -- i am 38 years old, founded a

company that took on big pharma, founded the most successful company taking on blackrock. i am now self financing with small dollar donations. i did not get here by being a plan b person. i am here to succeed. that is not up to me, it is up to you. here is something that i want you to internalize. the first agenda does not belong to one man. i respect donald trump and his contributions to this country. i have been more complementary of his accomplishments than anybody else running for president. i gave him credit for that -- given credit for that contract. and that the first is not belong to him or to me. it belongs to you. new hampshire is first for a reason. there are social media algorithms distorting what we

say right now. they might cover the media reports of this. that you are first for a reason. i asked you to tell the difference between somebody reading a protest note and somebody telling you their actual convictions. the election is not the destination. it is the start line. the destination for us is january, 2033. when i leave office, what do i want to tell you we did after two terms? i want to say we shut down the deep state, that fourth branch of government, that unconstitutional bureaucracy. shut down government agencies that should no longer exist, and that i stimulated the economy in the process, that we stayed out of world war iii while declaring independence from china. but the most important thing i

can deliver that is our responsibility that nobody else in the race can is by the time we leave office in january, 2033, we will tell you that our two sons and their generation, that they are once again proud to be citizens of this nation. thomas jefferson was 33 years old when he wrote the declaration of independence. there is a reason why revolutions are led by the next generation. it will take somebody who's best days are still ahead to see a country whose best days are ahead of itself. i truly believe that. we will not stop until we get the job done. i appreciate the question. >> [applause] >> to the young man and then back to the back. >> i am a software engineer.

i have seen ai gain immense power but a lot of us are the last to stop that. what do you think of ai regulations? >> these are the challenges that your generation faces. in my view, the biden administration recently wrote an executive order. they got it wrong. that is not surprising when the person you put in charge of ai policy, vice president harris, cannot actually spell ai. it is not entirely surprising. they define limits of computing power -- it is above a certain amount, that is what is out of bounds before the government having purview. that is the wrong way to look at

this. i will give you the punchline of where i land on ai policy. "a" draws a hard boundary between ai and kids. it is in the human response to ai. back when i was a teenager, my first job was an involved -- as a ballboy at tennis tournaments prep then i got an a to being a line judge. they replaced line judges with ai now. the first generation of that ai, you can literally see it with your eyes that it was wildly wrong. but then something funny happened. the players stopped arguing. now if you go to chatgpt and you type in how do you address climate change? or how do you do with systemic racism? it will give answers. it is somebody's opinion but it

looks like it's converting degrees fahrenheit two degrees celsius. that is the risk of ai, that we will be trained to bend the knee. short-term answer is we should not adopt anything in china -- in this country that china cannot also adopt. gaining function research to not work out too well either. the right answer is we have to draw our boundaries with kids and distribute the liability companies. if you are a capital: -- chemical company and you get into somebody else's river, you are liable, great. you do not have the government evolve. that is how you should deal with ai policy. tell companies if they develop an algorithm that has an unintended consequence, you will be liable. we have not said that. that keeps the government out of the way.

we companies today, they're taking that into account the present. this is a new frontier. it is going to take somebody from the next generation who understands those challenges to actually address that instead of reciting facts memorized in 1980. the guy in the back there. you could reject or we will give you a microphone. >> hello. my name is jack. i am from massachusetts i appreciated your ideas on security and border control. is that in reflection of the fact that you do not like

certain federal agencies -- which i totally rate -- totally agree? i am thinking about ice and the fact that we will have to support the people who guard the orders. >> ice is not on my list to shut down. we have a long list to shut down. we can go through it. i am laying this out for people who do not follow my policy proposals. there are three branches of government, not four. the people we elect to run the government are not running the government. it is the cancer of federal bureaucracy that are wielding most political power. my view is we have to reduce the size of that bureaucracy by 75% by the end of my first term. some will say that is not enough. but even still of a ratio of federal bureaucrats to citizens

will be higher than at most points in our national history. some of this agencies, like the department of education, should not exist anymore. we will shut them down and take a billion dollars that the department of education spends and return it back to parents and people across this country. that is what we will do for many parts of the federal bureaucracy. as it relates to the border in the military, it is a different category. as commander-in-chief, one of the things i do is stand for the united states of america. two people who came to this country legally through the front door, your first act of entering this country cannot break the law. i will get the military to seal our southern border and our northern border, too. that is part of what it means to stand for the will of law. my border policy is end any federal funding to central

america until they have dealt with their part of the border crisis. right now, we are shelling out billions in taxpayer a. that will go exclusively to border security. second, use our military to acquire barriers and others that are not being used. >> sealed the swiss cheese at the southern border. >> and incentives to be here illegally, not a dime of taxpayer money. that is funding the breakers of the rule of law. now we are one step further and all the other republicans here. it is respect for the constitution. end and the right to citizenship for illegal migrants who were never supposed to apply. against that backdrop and everything we have talked about -- from shutting down government agencies to feeling we southern

border as commander-in-chief --, these are things i get to do as u.s. president, as the leader of the executive branch. right now, many of you do not know this, the remaining mexico -- remain in mexico policy is still on the books. that is good luck today. they are just not enforcing it. i have been to the southern and northern borders. it is not what you think. it is not like illegal migrants are sneaking across the border. i have never seen a bigger government orchestrated breakage of the rule of law than what we saw on that southern border. but dhs is refusing to enforce it. but that means the next president does not need to work through congress to fix 95% of this. it is to enforce the laws.

that is the job of the executive branch. and i believe there is one executive branch. that is what the constitutions that's good there is -- says. there is one executive branch. the u.s. president is elected to do that. if somebody works for you and you cannot find them, that means they do not work for you. it was taken executive, somebody outside that establishment, to see that. >> thank you, mr. ramaswamy. i am blake from massachusetts. i appreciate your prudent views on foreign policy. declaring economic independence from china, what are some practical ways we can decouple from china? we depend on them for so much of our trade. what are some practical ways to do that? it is so hard when they have so

much labor. >> great question. one desirable solution is off shoring more production to the united states of america -- semiconductors, pharmaceuticals. these are three areas critical for the u.s. where we rely on china and on semiconductors in taiwan, which is at risk of annexation by china. that will not happen on my watch. those are real risk areas that we have to being on shore to the united states of america. but i am not a magician. i would love to tell you i could onshore all of that tomorrow, but it has to be our first best, combined with our second best approach, which is expanding our relationship in parallel with japan, south korea, chile. getting other countries to fill in the gaps.

that backdrop becomes more achievable than we make it out to be. you have people who want to onshore to the u.s. for declared independence from china. they missed the point that china is not playing by the same rules that we are. they are telling companies you do not get to do business in china and lets you lobby in the u.s. you do not get to do business in china unless you transfer data from the u.s. that is not capitalism, not playing by the same rules. if we are serious about decoupling from china, on shore is much as you can bet pair that with expanded relationships with partners who are our allies and able to play by the same. -- same rules. once we have done that, i consider costly table from xi jinping and have a very different meeting from the one biden just had.

the news was able to clean up -- i will use the word that comes to mind. when xi jinping comes, here is my meeting with him -- after we have actually begun to on georgia the u.s., i can get serious and say, you will not buy land in this country. you will not make our companies your lobbying pot. you will not turn our companies do trojan horses in the u.s. you will play by the same rules. none of that care -- none of that. we will keep you out of the wto. there has to be real accountability or you can expect worse in the future. and we are cutting the cord unless you are playing by the same set of rules. at that point, he will admit

that we have the stronger hand. china is in a tougher spot than we are. we are prepared to make that sacrifice. is there some little inconvenience there? yes, there is. could there be some tiny inconvenience? i will be honest. there could be some tiny inconvenience. it is just like in the context of a family, the same goes for a nation. you can make those small sacrifices if you know what you are sacrificing for. that is what we call the united states of america. that is something we have to be willing to think on the timescale of history, not just mild. right question. i appreciate it. >> thank you for coming. thanks for your passion.

i am an owner of property at three different borders. [indiscernible] it is distressing for us. what we went to do at these folks now that they are here? i have got an idea. give them three years in the military and they can earn citizenship. i am telling you, san antonio is the same. >> i appreciate that. thank you. i appreciate that. i appreciate the passion for your country. you asked a good question. we have a 20% recruitment deficit in the military right now. for every four people we need,

only three are showing up. have to tell you, you have me at least in three. baseline though, we have to respect the rule of law in this country. we can't look our sons in the eyes and tell them you have to follow the rules if we are in that white house, if we are leading the government that doesn't follow its own rules. the first thing is we turn off the faucet. i talked about the border policy earlier. but if we are really serious about this, about standing for the rule of law, that anybody who is in this country legally, the baseline has to be that they return to their country of origin. we will do it respectfully and humanely. the country that put a man on the moon can get this done. it's a challenge of will. then we can look at the people who have really made contributions or have the potential to be law-abiding citizens.

those are additional conversations we can have and explore, but the baseline option is anybody who is in this country illegally has to be returned to their country of origin and we end birthright citizenship for the kids of illegal migrants. i appreciate that question. inc. you. -- thank you. >> thank you, it is great to meet you. my question is, certainly, i'm ready to vote for you. i like what you're saying, just about everything which is remarkable. but my problem is right now in this time, if i vote for you, my biggest fear is that a democrat will win the election. just because of the way it is, the numbers the weight they are. >> let me tell you something. i'm sick and tired of losing as a republican party. i think we've become lazy.

our party has become lazy about this. anybody watch that third debate? this is what pulled me into the race. ronna mcdaniel took over as chairwoman of the rnc in 2017. 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022 all disasters for republicans. my view is it is going to take somebody fresh from the outside and doing what we are doing in this race. we are reaching young people for example in a race this party never has. 40% of our donors to this campaign, are forced -- first time ever donors to the campaign. part of the reason why i say we have gotten lazy is it is not just the tactics.

for a long time, we have looked at the other side in their agenda, race, gender, sexuality, climate, and criticizing it and saying everything is wrong with that agenda. that's fine. but we only win if we offer an agenda and vision of our own. what do we actually stand for? individuals, family, nation, god. that beats race, gender, sexuality and climate. if we have the courage to actually stand for something. for a long time as a party, we have been running from something. now is our moment to actually start running to something. tell our vision of what it means to be an american. i don't even talk about republicans and democrats. i rarely do on the campaign trail because i'm prepared to

win this election in a landslide. i know it sounds about as ridiculous for me to say now as it would have for reagan to say in 1979. but that is how change happens. it will take a leader coming from the outside with fresh legs to do this differently. i saw the red wave in 2022 that never came. we can't just be lazy. we have to offer a vision of our own and what it means to be a citizen of this nation. it means we believe in the rule of law. part of what it means is we stand for our own border security and military. what do we stand for? meritocracy. free speech and open debate. we will stop the government from using tech companies to censor through the back door what

government could not through the front door under the constitution. these are basic principles. basic rules of the road that we fought a revolution in 1776 to secure. i feel like we live in a 1776 moment. when you see it that way, not black versus white or red versus blue, then it becomes a lot clearer that this is a pro-american movement. 80% of the country i think agrees on basic rules of the road. i favor 12% flat tax across the board, that's me. you can disagree with me on some of the details. but the basic rules of the road, we are on the same team. that's how i'm approaching this and that's what it will take. if we are serious about having elections we can believe in, single day voting on a national day that is a holiday with paper

ballots and government issued id to match the file. but we have to win to do that and i think a landslide minus shenanigans is still a decisive victory. if you make me your nominee, that will be our responsibility to deliver and the difference between 50.1 and that landslide is reaching young people in the next generation. i appreciate your concern. you do your part and we will do hours. thank you. >> my name is don, unfortunately from massachusetts. a few times in the past, you mentioned you are in favor of addressing the crises here at home rather than what is going on abroad. do you think that is a necessary trade-off?

and do you believe we can maintain our position as world leader while taking care of the issues we are facing at home? i'm sure you do believe we can do that and i would like to know how. >> make no mistake. i don't say it's one or the other. i look at every foreign issue and every domestic issue through one lens. as a father, my moral duty is to my family. as a president, my duty is to the citizens of the country. it doesn't mean you don't intervene. it means you pick your spots. we should find a reasonable path to peace that allows ukraine to come out with sovereignty intact but which requires russia to exit its military alliance with china, which is the single

greatest threat we face. we are closer to world war iii than ever in my lifetime. people in our generation and younger went to die in places like iraq and afghanistan in wars that did not advance american interests. $7 trillion of our national debt today came from those wars. thousands of people our age and younger went to die in those wars. we need to admit those were mistakes. that doesn't mean you take something like taiwan, i'm the only candidate of either party that has said we will defend taiwan, because we depend on them for microchips. i don't want china holding an economic gun to our head. that's how i look at it which is different from saying the u.s. president has commitments other than the u.s. citizens. my sole commitment as your next president is to be americans here in our homeland but it means that's the only prism we used to engage or decide to what

degree we engage. i think iraq and afghanistan, at least the long-term engagement in afghanistan was a mistake. i think entering the iraq war was a mistake. the ukraine war is destined, unless we reverse course, is destined to be something like iraq. i do believe not only can the united states be strong at home and be the leader of the world, but the best way to be an example for the rest of the free world is to be strong right here at home. when the u.s. is weak at home, what hope does the rest of the world have? that is the first and most important step. so my foreign policy in a nutshell is avoid world war iii, get away from economic dependency on china and protect

and defend our homeland. border defenses, electromagnetic pulse defenses, things we are badly missing today and the irony is the interventionist foreign policy establishment of the last 20 years has left us more vulnerable than ever here at home. that changes on my watch. securing the homeland is not only how we are strong on a global stage but the flipside of how we get stronger here at home as well. it's a great question. thank you. >> my name is megan, thanks for being here. i wanted to ask about all of the attacks on donald trump, from when he announced a run for election. if you get elected, what is your expectation as far as being attacked by the left and how will you deal with that? >> my expectations are realistic.

if you strike the swamp, the swamp strikes back. but one of the things we can learn is don't let them dupe you. they duped trump a little bit. he has the right intentions going after the deep state. they said you can't fire bureaucrats because of civil service protections. read the law. you can if there are mass layoffs. individual firings you can't do. mass layoffs, absolutely. that's what i'm bringing to the d.c. bureaucracy. the existing edifice, you have to shut it down. it's a risk you have to take. you have an eight headed monster, you have to cut off the head so it does not grow back. i said i want to shut down the

fbi and that scared a lot of people. i think that's the right answer. the failed bureau of investigation. that's not that we have no law enforcement. take a look at the specifics. there are 35,000 employees of the fbi. 20,000 of them are in back office functions at the j edgar hoover building. that tells you what legacy they respect. those 20,000 will have to find honest work in the private sector. 15,000 of them are agents on the front lines. we will move them to the u.s. marshals which has been corrupted in the same way. also much better on the child sex trafficking but deming.

move them to the financial crimes enforcement network. go after the complex white color theft in the country. that is how you drive real change, pragmatism and idealism. two sides of the same coin. i think you can be much more effective at practically delivering a foreign policy that advances american interests and effective law enforcement if we've actually weaned out the corruption from that apparatus. the difference between me and other republicans is they all say fire christopher wray. that doesn't do a thing. you get james comey 2.0 after that. you have to be willing to shut that apparatus down. 75% reduction. we have a plan. 50% of the current federal

regulations that congress never passed and we never elected people to pass are passed by unelected bureaucrats. the supreme court tells us those are unconstitutional. if i swear an oath, i keep it. we will resend those on day one. if you want incremental change, go with someone else. but if you want the quantum leap , you have to be ready for the swamp to strike back. >> another question would be think that's why a lot of us in the republican party are disappointed with republicans because they uncover all these things and don't do anything about it. >> i'm using the republican party frankly as a vehicle to advance american agenda because if an existing traditional

politician from another generation would have gotten this done. that's why we will not stop until we get the job done. let's give these guys a chance here. keeping her full-time job as a surgeon and doing this, she is a hero and example for people across the country. >> you are getting pointed to. perfect. >> hello, how are you? thank you so much. so nice to be the last question. i have come out for the second time to see you. i want to say thank you so much for what you guys are doing. other people of significant means are buying property and trying to shield themselves from the conflicts, you have stepped

forward. every point you have given serious thought and you do have a no american left behind spirit . the last thing was the labor day ticket. i remember it was such a good feeling as i looked at the pictures and saw that others are not that divided. we share the same values. i want to point out that you would make a beautiful first lady. my question is about you focus so much of your campaign not on politics but what you would do

in the executive branch. however, bipartisan watchdogs have said on both sides of the aisle that we are writing overly broad legislation and we are seeing it now where we have show me the man and i will show you the crime. it has become more and more apparent. what an attack on free speech platforms. i also want you to know i cast my last vote in november and the next day to register as a republican so i can vote for you in the primary. i am so happy to cast my first vote as a republican for you.

will you use your veto power to veto any overly broad legislation that can be used by overzealous attorney general or any branch of government against american citizens? >> yes, and it is an outstanding question. i swore an oath to the constitution and we have to take it seriously. any existing unconstitutional regulations will cease enforcement on my watch as well. you cannot have -- from the patriot act on down, republicans 20 years ago, all the way down to regulations that were never passed by congress, that is where most laws are made today. the people we elect to run the government are no longer the ones who actually run the

government. that changes on my watch and that is what the founding fathers envisioned. the standard i used, what would founding fathers say if they were walking the streets of washington today? would they be proud or appalled? they would be aghast. that's the standard i will use. i will say a few words in closing. i will give her a few chances to discuss as well. >> thank you. happy thanksgiving whole process when we started, everyone said this will be hard on your family , this will be terrible. we are a ways into it and i have to say this has been the most wonderful experience because growing up, we were not a very political family. we were not wealthy at all. my dad had like multiple jobs

and move to the country and became a doctor. but i was taught to keep your head down, do well in school, find someone to build a family with and things will work out in the end. thankfully things have. i was interested in government, not politics. but when i learned now that we have kids, you might not think your interest is in government but the government is really interested in you. especially when we don't pay attention. a lot of the process has been seeing and learning for me how passionate and educated our electorate is and meeting all of you. we are not alone. there have been so many of us keeping your head down and working hard and we see the system is broken and now is the time to fix it.

i'm so excited. i'm so proud of the base for what you mentioned earlier, 40% are to the republican party. there is a groundswell and i think we are excited to see this. i'm excited for january and for you to join us because i think it will be a new era for the country. >> and that's why we are here. the first in the nation primary, you are all trained to do this. if the whole process were held on the same day in primaries across the country, a guy like me would have no chance. the super pac's putting up the ads in the mail and your

mailboxes, those are not even coming from campaigns. they are coming from third-party monstrous entities that have ruined politics. but we can do it because new hampshire goes first. i will ask for your help. even if you are not from new hampshire, if you know 20 people who are in new hampshire, third week of january. , out and bring people out. we are on the same team. i know it's hard to believe, the questions we have from the border crisis to economic dependence on china and being on the world -- doorstep of world war iii, economic stagnation. i think it will take the ceo to unlock the energy sector. otherwise to see a nation in

decline and believe we are at the end of the ancient roman empire and all we have left is to fight over the scraps of a sink -- shrinking pile, i get it . i don't think we have to be ancient rome. i don't think we have to be that nation in decline. i think as a nation we are still just a little young actually. i truly believe that. going through our own version of national adolescence, figuring out who we are going to be when we grow up. when you view it that way, it makes sense. you go through that identity crisis. you lose your way little bit and do stupid things.

we are stronger for it when we get to our adulthood on the other side. i don't think we have to be that nation in decline. i think we can still be a nation in assent. maybe even early stages. we won't tell you the american dream is alive and well. it's not. it's hanging on by life support. but if we seize the moment, and i think it will take the next generation to lead us there, we can still look our kids in the eye and tell them in good

conscience and mean it that the united states of america, doesn't matter who you are or what your skin color is, that you get ahead in this country with your own hard work. your own commitment. your own dedication. and you are free to speak your mind at every step of the way. that is the american dream. that's what we are running to and with your help in the third week of january, we will save this great country. thank you for coming out, god bless you. god bless our united states of america. thank you. [applause]
