The unapologetic pursuit of excellence was once what defined the true essence of what it means to be American. But now, we seem to have built a national identity around victimhood and mediocrity. How did we get here? And most importantly, is there anything we can do about it?

Vivek Ramaswamy is an entrepreneur, political commentator, and New York Times best-selling author. Today, Vivek joins Matt to discuss his new book "Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence."

Vivek shares his views on the WEF, The Great Reset, stakeholder capitalism, and the cultural implications of ESG criteria. Tune in to learn more!

Matt and Vivek also discuss modern American culture, national identity, and what we can do to save our country.
