This chapter explores the strategies employed by mainstream media journalists to trap interviewees versus the approach of staying composed and rational, leading to viral moments where the interviewee's calm responses turned the tide. It delves into the speaker's experiences with public interactions, emphasizing the value of authentic conversations and unexpected boosts in popularity. The evolving media landscape, traditional gatekeepers' reactions to rising candidates, and personal experiences of media manipulation during campaigns are also discussed.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to discuss the recent suspension of his campaign, how he fought the traditional media’s best advances against him, who he is endorsing now, and the American values he seeks to defend going forward.
Vivek Ramaswamy is an entrepreneur, author, and political activist. Vivek has been making headlines since announcing his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, running on a platform in part to dismantle the expansive and corrupt bureaucracy that has seeped into nearly all facets of American government. Prior to this, Ramaswamy was the founder and CEO of the biopharmaceutical company Roivant Sciences. Leaving in 2021, he published “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam.” In 2022, he co-founded Strive Asset Management with Anson Frericks, which focuses on an alternative to the now-pushed ESG investment framework. That same year Ramaswamy published “Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence”
and has since been deemed one of the “Intellectual Godfathers of the anti-woke movement.”
