Secretary of State Marco Rubio has put out a video message for America’s 250 that is truly inspiring.

Rubio begins at America’s beginnings, talking about the Revolution and the men who gambled everything on the idea of freedom, noting that many of them lost everything in the process but knew that some things are more important.

He praises the founding fathers and their commitment to the concept of liberty. It’s all extremely well produced and delivered.

RedState has more details:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted a banger of a video that truly hits on the real meaning of this birthday. Our Founders, he said, valued what they had crafted. It was more precious than wealth, more valuable than safety, and life itself to them.

They were the heirs to “the whole expanse of Western memory stretching from Athens and Rome to the Magna Carta and Jamestown and Plymouth Rock.”

The Founders knew it was not an “abstraction.” “Many failed states have borrowed the words of rights and liberties. But a Constitution is only as strong as the people it belongs to,” Rubio warned.

America’s never merely been a “proposition,” Rubio said. That’s something we used to hear from Joe Biden, and there are also echoes of this thought in Mamdani’s speech: America is an “idea” that has never lived up to its promise. This stance never gives America the credit it is due for all that it has brought to the world, that shining city on the hill. If Biden or Mamdani were right, then no one would want to come here. If they were right, we wouldn’t have saved the world in two World Wars and helped defeat Communism overseas. And we may have to defeat it again. Yes, we have flaws, but if you’re not holding up our core, you are missing (or attacking) our very point.

“This is the greatest nation on Earth,” Rubio concluded.

For 250 years, America has been the greatest nation on Earth — and with God’s grace, it will be for 250 more.
