Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy revealed at a forum on Thursday a plan to shut down the “Deep State,” which includes shutting down the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Ministry of Education, in addition to the FBI.
Mr Ramaswamy charged for the event, which was live-streamed YouTubeas a means of explanation How will he “shut down the Deep State”? Ramaswami had previously voiced support for the FBI’s closure following the release of a report by special counsel John Durham on the origins of the FBI investigation into former President Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign.

“When it comes to the epidemic of arousalism, transgenderism and indoctrination of children, this is the head of the snake,” Ramaswamy said during the event, referring to parent protests at school board meetings. This critical race theory became a hot political issue in 2021 over America’s fundamentally racist use of critical race theory, which teaches people to view all social interactions and human beings in terms of race. In recent years, parents across the country have also spoken out against sexually explicit books, and some states have taken steps to remove them from schools.

“The hard truth is that these school boards actually respond to the economic incentives created by this ministry,” Ramaswamy said, noting that funding from education ministries is often contingent on adopting critical racial theories, racially-based quotas and “gender ideologies.”
“I don’t think we can reform this government agency,” Mr Ramaswamy said.
Ramaswamy also unveiled plans to shut down the NRC, saying it is hampering the US’ ability to become energy independent.
“This is a covert and false accusation, the agency that is blocking the resurgence of nuclear energy in the United States,” Ramaswami said, noting that the development of a new nuclear power plant would take 40 years and 32 steps, compared to three to four years before the NRC was established.
“That’s why in the last 30 years not a single new nuclear power plant has been built in this country,” Ramaswamy said. “Since the establishment of this organization, no new nuclear power plant project has gone through this 32-step process.”
