JD Vance: "If you want to be rewarded, build in America"

We started a great American comeback.  [We will] make it easier and more affordable to make things in the United States...  This is not always easy and it doesn't happen overnight...  I have to be honest with you.  The road ahead is long, but we are ready - in just seven weeks - starting to see early indications of the president's vision becoming our shared American reality.

[...]

If you want to be rewarded, build in America.  If you want to be penalized, build outside of America. [prompting chants of "USA! USA!"]  It's as simple as that.

[...]

If we do not protect our nation's manufacturers, we lose a fundamental part of who we are as a people.  Making things, building things, working with our hands is America's heritage.  When we lose the ability to make our own stuff, we abandon a way of life.
