The World Is A Better Place When America Leads

back take me tonight this afternoon senator Marco Rubio who is running for president gave a foreign policy speech in front of the council on foreign relations here in New York City senator

joins us now so keeping it simple what's the most important thing America has to do overseas right this moment whether three things that should underline our foreign policy the first of the acknowledgment

the world is a better place when Americans the strongest country in the world and that's why we need to increase our military spending get rid of horrible

is America's foreign policy needs to keep in mind that in the twenty first century global commerce matters more than ever we cannot act now and

we cannot allow any nation on earth to control shipping lanes air space the cyberspace outer space for that matter I and

the third is our foreign policy should always be built on our values as a nation we support freedom we support nations and people who

aspire to democracy we support human rights in the Republican nation build anymore I don't work in Iraq and having no

I I agree it is another way to do it but you can't get down and try to convince the Afghans to you know we

Democrats but give you example Cuba right so we're doing all these relations with Cuba under the president but and none of this is our discussion about democracy which is not

just in our national interest but is a strong value of the United States
