Vivek has really harnessed what CS Lewis said:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -“The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,” in God in the Dock

Thank you, Sasha. I always look forward to these interviews. It's great to listen to Carlson conduct his interviews because he allows his guests to talk, without interrupting or arguing with them. Plus, he asks really great questions that challenge his guests to fully describe their opinions and their experiences.

I met him a couple months ago at a small gathering in Iowa. I was able to chat with him a bit, and ask a couple questions after his talk.

He's very, very impressive, but no track record in government, and as we saw with Trump, unless you have a history with knowing how to play that game, they'll eat you alive. Trumps closest advisors all undermined him. All the Generals, Barr, Fauci, Pence. All quietly while he was in office, then publicly afterwards.

Vivek is a very impressive candidate. A young man of great character, with excellent leadership qualities, who has a strong vision for our country. I am looking forward August 23 to watch him on the RNC Debate Stage. I believe he will stand out among the current field of candidates and will attract many more voters in support. Thanks, Sasha, for all you do.

Vivek is giving too much credit to the *benign* or *parental* disposition of certain people in government or NGOs. They’re corrupt…. liars, thieves, greedy and some cases...murderous.

I really like him. I’d feel better about a Trump win for many reasons if Vivek were his running mate.

I love being talked to like an adult and treated with respect by Vivek speaking so clearly and truthfully.

I like this guy. And I love how Tucker let's his guests speak. So many interviewers talk over there guests or go on and on and we don't get to hear much from the guest. I think Vivek has a future in politics. No matter what happens with the next election

Vivek came across as very intelligent and sincere.

Vivek makes a lot of sense, and I tend to agree with much of his views on policy and particularly the void that has been created in the American citizenry which has led to its current tribal tyrannies. I fault most of that on the deliberate absence teaching American history and civics in our thoroughly corrupt education system, along with the country’s abandonment of faith in God. Vivek is inspiring, and most assuredly strikes a chord in people who recognize what he’s talking about.

But all that said, the elephant in the room is the machine - the Frankenstein - that has been created over decades that is is in power, and it is not just our near thoroughly corrupt government and politicians. It goes way beyond that.

These are not just corrupt people and entities, they are evil. They are utterly lawless and have no regard whatsoever for what is right, or just or good - just maintaining power. The fact that the road they’ve paved this far leads to such a devastating and destructive end for all of us doesn’t seem to matter to them in the least. They will attempt to crush anyone and anything that gets in their way.

Short of God’s Divine Intervention, I do not see where we go from here that’s gonna be good for us, or the world at large.

I miss his monologues as well.

Vivek is an exciting candidate. Seems sincere. Will wait till he’s in office to determine whether he means what he says or is doing the Obama #. If I sound skeptical, I was one of those burned with promises of hope and change.

Right on again Sasha thank you, on hearing all the questions of why this and why that, makes me recall all the so called conspiracies during my lifetime starting with JFK and the cover-up. So it seems to me apparent that the best way to cover-up a conspiracy is with an official investigation that is RIGGED for the outcome. Why Benghazi, why Afghanistan, why Russia, why Jan. 6th all followed by intense rigged investigations. This guy Vivek has a deep understanding of all the BS "We the people" have been fed for so long, very frustrating for sure, I like him. The question is who can clean up this mess and is it even possible.
