What did Marco Rubio say at the Munich Security Conference?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio goes to Munich and delivers a speech for the ages. AOC goes to Munich and makes a complete ass of herself. And Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, they're back trying to guide their party. We'll see how it went.
How did AOC perform at the Munich Security Conference?
First, we're not supposed to pick favorites. Too bad. Everyone who has seen the Pendragon cycle, Rise of the Merlins, has episode six is the one.
What are the historical ties between the U.S. and Europe?
The battles are insane. The scope is massive on Thursday. Only on Daily Wire Plus. On Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio went to the Munich Security Conference over in Germany. It was attended by a wide variety of politicos, both from the Trump administration and, as we'll see, from the Democratic side of the aisle. And he was the adult in the room. Marco Rubio is the best spoken member of the Trump administration. It doesn't happen to be particularly close when it comes to foreign policy. And he gave a truly bang up speech about the relationship between America and Europe. So you'll recall that last year, J.D. Vance, vice president, he also went to Europe. And at Davos, he proceeded to give a speech blistering the Europeans.
Some for good reasons, some for not such great reasons, but it appeared to draw the hackles of a bunch of Europeans because it was basically saying, guys, you seem to be kind of on your own. America is drawing back. And that is not what Rubio said. What Rubio said is we have strong bonds, centuries long bonds with the continent of Europe and many of the countries thereupon. And we also are going to have common interests with those countries, but we need strong allies to stand up for themselves. And he actually attempted to draw a definition of what it meant to be in consonance with Europe that I think Vice President Vance in some ways failed to advance. Secretary of State Rubio received a standing ovation for this, which of course is a good thing because his defense of the Trump administration policy was quite muscular over at the Munich Security Conference.
So he did a bit of a Q&A as well. He shared his own family history. And one of the things that people tend to forget is that, for example, Latinos and Hispanics in the United States are of Spanish, at least in part, descent. Spain is a country that is on the continent of Europe, which is why people from South and Latin America generally speak Spanish. It is why, as we will also see from Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, there are horses on this continent. In any case, here was Secretary of State Rubio talking about his own family history.
The year that my country was founded, Lorenzo and Catalina Giraldi lived in Casao Monferrato in the kingdom of Piedmont, Sardinia. And Jose and Manuela Reyna lived in Sevilla, Spain. I don't know what, if anything, they knew about the 13 colonies which had gained their independence from the British Empire. But here's what I'm certain of. They could have never imagined that 250 years later, One of their direct descendants would be back here today on this continent as the chief diplomat of that infant nation. And yet here I am, reminded by my own story that both our histories and our fates will always be linked.
Secretary of State Rubio also suggested that the U.S.
What challenges does Europe face according to Rubio?
and Europe have a great history of cooperation. And in a bit, I want to explain sort of the history of European identification, because one of the things that the Secretary of State says is that people don't fight for ideas. That's not really quite true. People definitely fight for ideas, but those ideas do have to be rooted in a time and a place and in a loyalty to family and kinship and nation. Anyway, here was Secretary of State Rubio talking about the history of U.S.-European cooperation.
Together, we rebuilt a shattered continent in the wake of two devastating world wars. When we found ourselves divided once again by the Iron Curtain, the Free West linked arms with the courageous dissidents struggling against tyranny in the East to defeat Soviet communism. We have fought against each other, then reconciled, then fought, then reconciled again.
