1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: So the Secretary of State Marco Rubio went to the 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Munich Security Conference and said, Hey, Europe, the world is 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: a dangerous place and we have absolutely no plans of 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: allowing you to take the lead in our demise. So 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: we're going to continue to be strong and prosperous. We're 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: going to continue to fight for Western civilization. We would 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: love it if you came along with us, but if 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to, well that's on you. Siya wouldn't 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: want to be Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. Good to 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: be here, Good to be with you. Some people might 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: see it as a bit of a coercion speech. I 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: didn't take it that way. I prefer this because I 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: want to know who our friends are. 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: I have said this for a while that one of 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 2: the things we need to do is. 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: Rethink our alliances with Europe in Toto, and what I'm 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: saying is not that we shouldn't have alliances with Europe 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: as a whole or with European nations in specific, but 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: why is it France in the UK. Why aren't we 20 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: starting with Poland? Poland's been through the Nazi's been through 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: the Communists. They want to be a free country. Why 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't we build a further relationship and alliance with them, 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: helping them grow, engaging more trade with them, building up 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: that way, If France wants to continue to lead itself 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: down a road of self immolation, I don't want to 26 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: be a part. 27 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: Of it, mostly because I don't want to get burned. 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: So let's not. Let's rethink everything about our alliances with Europe. 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: That has been my position for years. I don't think 30 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: that's the speech that Rubio is giving here, the Secretary 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: of State. 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: Now. The speech he is giving here. 33 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: Which is beautifully done, exquisitely delivered, a reminder of how 34 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: good Marco Rubio is. The speech here is to remind 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: Americans and to remind the world that we are going 36 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: to keep on keeping on. Whatever these other people do, well, 37 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: they just do it. And this is maybe we should 38 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: just classified as a warning to Europe that we are 39 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: not going to. 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: Be cowed by them. 41 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: No, We're going to continue to recognize the enemies for 42 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: who they are. 43 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 2: Our strength and Western civilization matters. 44 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: This was more of Marco Rubia, the Secretary of State 45 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: at the Munich Security Conference for. 46 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 3: The United States and Europe. We belonged together, America was 47 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: found a two hundred and fifty years ago, but the 48 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: roots began here on this continent long before the men 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived 50 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: on our shores, carrying the memories and the traditions and 51 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: an unbreakable link between the. 53 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 4: Old world and the new. 54 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: Part of one civilization, Western Civilization. We are bound to 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, 56 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 3: and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common 58 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: civilization to which we have fallen heir. And so this 59 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a 60 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: little direct and urgent in our council. This is why 61 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here 62 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: in Europe. The reason why, my friends, is because we 63 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: care deeply. We care deeply about your future and ours, 64 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: and if at times we disagree, our disagreements come from 65 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: our profound sense of concern about a Europe with which 66 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: we are connected, not just economics, not just militarily. We 67 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: are connected spiritually, and we are connected culturally. 68 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 4: We want Europe to be strong. 69 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: We believe that Europe must survive because the two great 70 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: wars of the last century serve for us as history's 71 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: constant reminder that ultimately our destiny is and will always 72 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: be intertwined with yours. Because we know, because we know 73 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: that the fate of Europe will never be irrelevant to 74 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,559 Speaker 3: our own. National security, which this conference is largely about, 75 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 3: is not merely a series of technical questions. 76 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 4: How much we spend on defense or where how we 77 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 4: deploy it. 78 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: These are important questions, they are, but they are not 79 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: the fundamental one. The fundamental question we must answer at 80 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: the outset is what exactly are we defending? Because armies 81 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: do not fight for abstractions. Armies fight for a people. 82 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: Armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way 83 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: of life. 84 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: And that is what we are defending. 85 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: A great civilization that has every reason to be proud 86 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: of its history, confident of its future, and aims to 87 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 3: always be the master of its own economic and political destiny. 88 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: It was here in Europe where the ideas that planted 89 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: the seeds of liberty that changed the world were born. 90 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 3: It was here in Europe, where the world which gave 91 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: the world the rule of law, the universities, and the 92 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 3: scientific revolution. It was this continent that produced the genius 93 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: of Mozart and Beethoven, of Dante and Shakespeare, of Michelangelo 94 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: and da Vinci, of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. 95 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: A full reminder of look what you've contributed, and look 96 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: what you are willing to squander for what for an 97 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: unwillingness to say that this matters. It is a profound 98 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: statement of look what you have given all of us, 99 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: including us in the United States. 100 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: Never mind our birth all right, we kind of took that, but. 101 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Still we took the other concepts with us, you know, 102 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: the ones you hadn't figured out yet. 103 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: We kind of got at all done. 104 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 4: Why would you just let it go? 105 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: We don't want you to let it go. 106 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 3: And this is the place where the vaulted ceilings of 107 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: the Sistine Chapel and the tower inspires of the Great 108 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 3: Cathedral Colonne. 109 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: They testify not just. 110 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 3: To the greatness of our past or to a faith 111 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: in God that inspired these marvels. They foreshadow the wonders 112 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: that await us in our future. But only if we 113 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: are unapologetic in our heritage, and proud of this common inheritance, 114 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 3: can we together begin the work of envisioning and shaping 115 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: our economic and our political future. 116 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: Very often, when you hear the word heritage, the left 117 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: will scheme, ohs, you mean white privilege. Oh so you 118 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: mean whiten associate, you mean a white supremacy. These people 119 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: need to just be ignored all together. There is a 120 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: story to be told, and the story is good about 121 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: these people who come before us, who got together and 122 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: said we can do it better. And they didn't do 123 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: it perfect, they did it better, and the story is 124 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: about constantly doing it better. 125 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: We still don't do. 126 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: It perfect, We just do it better, and we do 127 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: it better now that we did one hundred years ago, 128 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: and we do better now that we did one hundred 129 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: years before that. 130 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: And now we have people who want. 131 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: To tear that all down because somehow what we have 132 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: done is bad. No, the Islamist is trying to kill you, 133 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: and the Communist wants to crush you. 134 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: What we're doing is great. 135 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: What they're doing is pure, raw, unadulterated evil, and we. 136 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: Should say so. 137 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: We should fight for this thing that is good and 138 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: ease through our hard work and our efforts daily getting better. 139 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: The industrialization was not inevitable. It was a conscious policy choice, 140 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: a decade long economic undertaking that stripped our nations of 141 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 3: their wealth, of their productive capacity, and of their independence, 142 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 3: and the loss of our supply chain sovereignty was not 143 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 3: a function of a prosperous and healthy system of global trade. 144 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: It was foolish. 145 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 3: It was a foolish but voluntary transformation of our economy 146 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 3: that left us dependent on others for our needs and 147 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: dangerously vulnerable to crisis. Mass migration is not was not 148 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: is some friends concern of little consequence. It was and 149 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: continues to be a crisis which is transforming and destabilizing societies. 150 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 4: All across the West. 151 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,119 Speaker 3: Together, we can reindustrialize our economies and rebuild our capacity 152 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 3: to defend our people. But the work of this new 153 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: alliance should not be focused just on military cooperation and 154 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: reclaiming the industries of the past. It should also be 155 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: focused on together advancing our mutual interests and new frontiers, 156 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: unshackling our ingenuity, our creativity, and the dynamic spirit to 157 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 3: build a new Western century. 158 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 4: Commercial space travel and. 159 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: Cutting edge artificial intelligence, industrial automation and flex manufacturing, creating 160 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: a Western supply chain for critical minerals not vulnerable to 161 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,479 Speaker 3: extortion from other powers, and a unified effort to compete 162 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 3: for market share in the economies of the global South. Together, 163 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: we cannot only take back control of our. 164 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 4: Own industries and supply chains. 165 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: We can prosper in the areas that will define the 166 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 3: twenty first century, but we must also gain control of 167 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 3: our national borders, controlling who and how many people enter 168 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 3: our countries. This is not an expression of xenophobia, It 169 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: is not hate. It is a fundamental act of national sovereignty. 170 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: And at this moment the left screams, and you are 171 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: faced with reality. You are not a bigot, You are 172 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: not a racist.
