Welcome to The Good Stuff. I'm Jacob Schick, a third-generation combat marine.

And I'm his co-host and wife Ashley Schick. We believe everyone has a story to tell.

Not only about the peaks, but the valleys they've been through to get them to where they are today.

We're joined by some amazing guests who share the lessons they've learned that shaped who they are

and what they're doing to pay it forward and give back.

Listen to The Good Stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

There's a great book. I've been reading, can't put it down. It's called Decades of Decadence,

how our spoiled elites, blue, America's, inheritance of liberty and security and prosperity.

It's written by Florida Senator Marco Rubio who joins us now. Senator, by the way,

bookstores all across the country, amazon.com, Hannity.com.

You know, it's really amazing how you systematically in this book just tear apart and lay out the case.

Of just how far we've gotten away from what has made historically this country great.

Yeah, thanks for having me, Anshon. The book Decades of Decadence is really about the decisions

that were made right after the Cold War ended. And the argument we heard from everybody was

everyone's going to become a democracy, everyone's going to become free enterprise. We're all going

to become consumers and investors in this global economy and country doesn't matter anymore.

Because we're all just going to be one big happy global family.

Well, it turns out those ideas were not just silly. They are actually destructive.

We made economic decisions that allowed jobs and factories to leave our country, leaving millions

of Americans without jobs and did therefore destroying families and communities. We're seeing the

price of that today. We de-industrialized the country, so now we're dependent on China to make

all kinds of important things for our country. They stole those factories and industrial capability.
