Vivek Ramaswamy: “The revival of that self confidence, self reliance…”

“Beyond that, the way we're actually going to revive our culture, who we are, our self confidence, is not through greater dependence on the government, but independence from it. We are not victims, we are victors. That is who we are. And I think The revival of that self confidence, self reliance, meritocracy and hard work to achieve what we wish to achieve in America, rather than temporary dependence on the government, is what's going to allow our kids to live a better life than we did. That is the American dream. It's what we've lost for four years. That is what we are running to.” (15:03–15:18)
