Summary

Senator Marco Rubio is very worried about America. The Florida Republican fears our country has lost all common sense and can no longer solve problems. Something he feels our foes have been taking advantage of. In fact, he even says, "the 21st century will be the 'Chinese century' at our expense." Senator Rubio recently joined Jessica Rosenthal to discuss these concerns and how they inspired him to write his new book, "Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled Elites Blew America's Inheritance of Liberty, Security, and Prosperity." The Senator blamed misguided elitists and economic policies for sparking the decline of America's global dominance. He says another problem is that American lawmakers in both parties have for decades underestimated China's desire to overtake the U.S. as the world's dominant superpower. Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire unedited interview with Senator Marco Rubio and learn more about China's influence in Cuba and the Senator's take on the 2024 GOP primary.
