[Music]

Rubio: How are you?  Good to see you.
Unidentified Woman: Hi. Welcome. Nice to meet you.
Rubio: Thank you for hosting me; I appreciate it.

Unidentified Woman 2: Marco Rubio is here today to visit with us as small business leaders here within the communities of Iowa.  As we move forward, he's our man.

Rubio: I believe with all my heart that our nation is on the verge of another American century.

Newscaster: Decision 2016 and Marco Rubio now on the campaign trail as an official candidate for president.  The Florida Republican greeting about 200 voters at a house party near Des Moines yesterday.

Woman attendee: I like his energy, I like his directness, his boldness...

Woman attendee 2: He comes from modest means, and he knows what it means to work...

Man attendee 1: He speaks to the future, he doesn't look behind, he makes you proud to be an American again...

Rubio (clips from FFC): You cannot have a strong country without strong people, and you cannot have strong people without strong values.  Values have to be taught to you.  They are taught to you in the most basic cell of society, the family.

And we need leaders that understand this fundamental truth.

We are holding ourselves back because of tax policies and regulations and the national debt that hamstrings our ability to grow.  The result is extraordinary uncertainty that's now overcome our country.

And the question is how can this be happening?  How can this be happening to this most extraordinary place, this nation without parallel or equal in all of human history.

And the answer is we have the wrong people running it.

This generation will turn the page.  And we will do for our children what our parents did for us: leave for them the single greatest nation in the history of all mankind.  [applause]




Notes: This video has the same approach as an earlier video from New Hampshire.  It is built on footage from Rubio's April 25 trip to Iowa, his first as a declared candidate, and includes a fund more trips pitch.

He did a private business roundable with Sen. Jack Whitver in Des Moines; was the special guest at an ice cream social hosted by Sen. Jack and Rachel Whitver at the Whitvers' home in Ankeny; and spoke at Iowa FFC's presidential candidate forum in Waukee.
