Common Ground Classic: Bringing Manufacturing Back to America

As President Trump calls on American companies to ramp up domestic production and reduce reliance on countries like China, many lawmakers are welcoming the push — seeing it as an alignment with priorities they’ve been working on for years.

Today, Bret revisits his conversation with Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL), who have been leading the charge to bring shipbuilding back to America. They discuss how public-private partnerships and strategic incentives can jumpstart the industry, the critical role naval power plays on the global stage, and why investing in shipbuilding is not just an economic boost — but a matter of national security.
