Lunchpail Republicans . . .

Wait, sorry, maybe I do fundamentally misunderstand his point. How is his position supportive of manufacturing and other blue-collar job creation? I understood his libertarian position as being hostile to the idea of (actively investing public intent in) maintaining or growing the american manufacturing sector (that is to say, as being economically conservative enough to argue that public support of the american manufacturing sector is a problematic "big-government", "socialist" intention)? His position was somewhere to the libertarian-conservative (going on the political compass, two-axis, economic-vs-social dimension, definitions) side of the Republican party, where I would argue that the lunchpail republican position is on the socialist-authoritarian end of same spectrum. How was, in that quote/video, Napolitano arguing for the (what I understand the lunchpail republican to be) position that American manufacturing, blue-collar jobs should be encouraged rather than discouraged?
