Re-Defining Luxury : The New Virtue Currency of Today’s Elites | S3 E6 | The Truth Truth with Vivek Ramaswamy

U.S. Air Force Veteran and award winning author Rob Henderson joins Vivek to discuss his take on the current class system in the United States and how many of today’s social movements end up hurting the very people they profess to stand up for. A Ph.D. from Yale University, Rob coined the term, “luxury beliefs”, which refers to the elitism we see in the western world when it comes to progressive ideologies; beliefs, most times radical, that can be held with no consequences to the people championing them - while having a negative impact on everyone else. We see it all the time - the loudest voices for open border policies living in gated communities, or celebrities scolding their fans on climate change while attending worldwide galas via their private jets. Rob takes us through the psychology behind this current brand of elitism, and gives some heart wrenching insight into his own upbringing within the U.S. foster care system. A true American story, Rob details his life coming from broken homes and hopelessness, to serving his country and becoming a new voice for the importance of family.
