Rubio’s Munich Speech: The China Alarm Bell
Kevin O’Leary sat down on FOX Business and laid it out plain. He praised Marco Rubio’s Munich speech. He called it one of the clearest foreign-policy warnings we’ve heard in a long time.
Rubio got a standing ovation in Munich. People noticed. O’Leary noticed more than the applause. He heard the target. He says it’s simple: China.
Here’s the transcript O’Leary gave, unedited:
O’LEARY: “This all started a few weeks ago at Davos on the famous speech Carney gave, the prime minister of Canada, with the words ‘new world order.’ That did not go well with the Trump administration, as you remember.”
“Actually, it hurt relations with Canada at this point, which hasn’t really restarted on the tariff front.”
“The point is though we are getting to a place now where there’s only adversary, and I think it’s time to just call it out, China. That’s it.”
“And so you either are with us, so to speak, against China, or you’re not.”
“Because China is getting ready for world dominance.”
“I call it what it is. Economically, militarily, AI, power, you name it, those guys are not fooling around, and if we don’t wake up and get together on this, they will be the superpower.”
“Now, if you’re okay with that and you want to live in that kind of a world, well, I don’t. So I’d like to see this thing worked out pretty damn fast.”
“Because Europe has to get on board, Canada has to get on board, everybody that believes in democracy, freedom and capitalism has to get on board.”
“Or, you will see those guys walk into your country one day.”
O’Leary doesn’t mince words. He sees Rubio’s address as a Republican-style rallying cry. The message is clear: name the rival and build a coalition. Fast.
This isn’t just about tariffs or trade. It’s about tech, AI, military reach and global influence. O’Leary warned that if the West dithers, China will fill the gap and take the lead.
Republicans will like the tone. It’s sober. It’s urgent. It’s uncompromising. The speech pushes allies to choose a side. It asks democracies to act like democracies again.
Watch the clip below, where O’Leary lays it out bluntly:

Kevin O’Leary says the quiet part out loud about what Secretary Rubio’s speech meant in Munich:
“You’re either with us — or you’re not.”
O’Leary then laid out the nightmarish dystopian future if China were to win global dominance.

Rubio’s Munich talk won applause for a reason. It named a threat. It demanded a response. Now the question is who will step up.
