And I think that phrase and that concept are so unfairly portrayed by so many parts of the American media and the American mainstream media. The people that read The Atlantic every day and The New Yorker and The New York Times. Oh, America first. It's this lowbrow isolationism. No, it's not.

It's simply saying it's about time we put our people and our communities first. Before we send $50 billion to another country, we better make damn well sure that those people that lost their homes in North Carolina during a once-in-a-century storm are not out freezing to death. while we're sending the money elsewhere.

I mean, I think it starts in the halls of our elected leadership. It has to. And I think it has. I mean, that conversation happened, the American people spoke on November 5th. They just did. And they said, decisively, we're tired of that paradigm. We're tired of seeing our money go everywhere else. We're not isolationists. We don't hate other countries. We're simply saying, you know what?

If we got a dollar to spend, we better damn well spend it here on our people first. and take care of our people before we send it somewhere else. What other country is sending money to us to keep us afloat? Nobody. We've been doing it for the rest of the world for 80 years. Since the end of World War II, we've been the tentpole of the free world.

And I'm proud to be, and I think we should continue to be. But the world's also evolved since then. We talk about the America First construct, and we talk about NATO and our allies there. Yeah, they're our allies, and we should be there for them just like they were for us in Afghanistan. But... They've also had 75 years to recover from the economic cataclysms of World War II.

They should be able to defend themselves, pay for their own defense under their own GDP, and deal with their own regional issues now. I mean, they've had 75 years of economic training wheels to get back on their feet. We've got some stuff we've got to deal with here on our own. So these communities deserve investment from their own government before it goes somewhere else.
