"The nation states still does matter. NATIONALISM still matters. National BORDERS still matter!" WOW
Just a wow. Rubio is not known as an America-first leader. But he just made best America-first speech. Let’s re-industrialize America.
“We made a terrible mistake in this country — many years ago under people that were in charge at the time, especially at the end of the Cold War”
"I think we made a terrible mistake in this country...the idea that the ability to make things no longer mattered. It didn't matter any longer where things were made!"
"They were to be made in the most efficient place at the lowest possible cost that meant more profits for the company, lower costs for the consumers, and that was the way the world would work."
"There was this fantasy, really, that the whole world would become a free enterprise. And that everyone would look like us. That ran into reality!"
"The reality that that is not how human events have ever worked...countries are going to always act in their best interest. The result of it is that it de-industrialized America. We lost our ability and our capacity to MAKE THINGS."
"And not just big things, not just the kinds of big machinery and things that we normally identify with industry. But even some of the most basic components that are necessary, that underpin economic life, especially in the 21st century."
"And we woke up to the reality, just a few years ago, that we are suddenly, as a nation, dangerously dependent, dangerously dependent on other nations for all sorts of things that we need."
"Not simply for our economic vibrancy, but in many cases for our national security and our very survival as a prosperous nation state."
"And so now we are involved in this endeavor across the board to try to reverse those mistakes."
