FOX Nation to Drop One-Hour "Just Ask" Forum with Ramaswamy in Conjunction with Truths Debut

NEW YORK, September 16, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FOX Nation will launch a new five-episode docuseries hosted by former Republican presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, announced Lauren Petterson, president of the streaming service. Dropping on FOX Nation on Sunday, September 22, Truths with Vivek Ramaswamy will also air in a condensed version on the FOX News Channel (FNC) that night at 10 PM/ET.

Over the course of the limited series, Mr. Ramaswamy lays out a positive alternative to the left’s vision for the future by presenting hard "truths" that the American conservative movement must embrace with topics including American national identity, the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel and the protests on US college campuses, religion and more.

In the lead up to the premiere, FOX Nation will also release Just Ask: Vivek Ramaswamy on Friday, September 20, in which Mr. Ramaswamy answers questions from an audience, with nothing off the table. The one-hour forum, filmed in Philadelphia, will be moderated by Fox & Friends Weekend co-host and FOX Nation personality Pete Hegseth.

In making the announcement, Ms. Petterson said, "We are excited to launch this new series showcasing Mr. Ramaswamy’s thoughtful and unique perspective on the state of American politics after his meteoric rise over the last year."

Mr. Ramaswamy added, "Today conservatives know what we’re against. But what exactly do we stand FOR? To answer that question, we need to talk to every American, not just those who agree with us. That’s the subject of my new book 'TRUTHS: The Future of America-First,' and I enjoyed partnering with FOX Nation to host provocative dinner table conversations that we rarely have in our country anymore."

Throughout the series, Mr. Ramaswamy presents the idea that the conservative party knows what they're against: anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti–big government, but what exactly do they stand for? Alongside a panel including his wife Apoorva Ramaswamy, journalist Matt Taibbi, American theoretical physicist Steven Koonin, Priovant Therapeutics CEO Ben Zimmer, Rabbi Shmully Hecht and others in a roundtable style format, Mr. Ramaswamy will dissect the best ways to speak about the "truths" even with those who do not agree.

Mr. Ramaswamy is an American business leader, New York Times bestselling author, and former 2024 Republican U.S. Presidential candidate. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, he went on to become a serial entrepreneur and CEO who founded several successful businesses including Roivant Sciences, Strive, and Chapter. He is a bestselling author with three books already published — Woke, Inc. (2021), Nation of Victims (2022), and Capitalist Punishment (2023) — with a fourth book coming in 2024, Truths: The Future of America First.
