1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: We want allies who can defend themselves so that no 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: accessary will ever be tempted to test our collective strength. 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: This is why we do not want our allies to 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: be shackled by guilt and shame. We want allies who 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: understand that we are heirs to the same great and 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: noble civilization, and who together with us, are willing and 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: able to. 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 2: Defend a leading with strength, don't manage decline. That was 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: the message from the Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: described the United States as a child of Europe in 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: a message that was about unity on Saturday, but it 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: was also a warning to Europe. Get on board with 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 2: where we're going, or we're going to leave you in 15 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: the dust. He was speaking at the Munich Security Conference, 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: and everybody said he did fantastic. He really laid out 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: the foreign policy vision hied to Donald Trump, and it 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: focused on the United States national interests and was a 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: tougher stance on global issues. 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 4: Well, the first thing I thought of after, you know, 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 4: watching Marco Rubio speak at the Munich Security Conference and 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 4: obviously realizing that there was a spectacular speech the next 24 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 4: thing I thought of was it almost seems like the 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 4: Trump administration might be playing a little bit of good 26 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 4: cop bad cop with Europe. 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: Right now. 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 4: You send Trump and JD. Vance over there and they 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: smack him over the head with a baseball bat. You 30 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 4: guys are terrible, blah blah, all the nastiness, the bad 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 4: cop stuff, and then the HU and then Marco comes in. 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 4: And while it was you know, certainly contrasted the way 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 4: Vance and Trump have been and the things they've said 34 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 4: when they've been over in Europe, it was still a 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 4: tough speech, but it was done in a much more 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 4: uh you know, presidential for lack of a better term 37 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 4: or diplomatic tone on this. He said, look, you know, 38 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 4: you look, we have this cultural similarity we you know, 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: us in the United States. We are the you know, 40 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 4: children of the European culture and the European nations. 41 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: But yeah, guys, got to get your act together. We 42 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: need a strong Europe. 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 4: And that I think is the point that the Trump 44 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 4: administration is trying to make on all of this. It's 45 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 4: not that we are trying to you know, completely shatter 46 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 4: NATO or the global alliance that's been built over the 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: last seventy five years. 48 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: It's hey, guys, we've been pulling all the way. 49 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 4: We've been the ones spending all the money on defense 50 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 4: for NATO and security. We've been doing all the things here, 51 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: and meanwhile, you guys haven't been, you know, pulling up 52 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 4: your end of the bargain here. 53 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,559 Speaker 3: So you've got to be stronger. 54 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: And so that's what makes this speech that Rubio gave 55 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: even greater. It was, you know, like you said, you know, 56 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: putting an arm around him and giving him the hug. 57 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 4: But it was also the tough talk to get your 58 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: act together, Europe, because we need a strong Europe in 59 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 4: this country. And that was the message, and I think 60 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 4: it resonated. It certainly going to resonate a lot more 61 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 4: from the European leaders based on what Rubio said. Then, 62 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: you know, get their heads bashed in by Trump advance. 63 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,559 Speaker 2: Well, it does come after a year of strained relationships, 64 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: all this tension over the tariffs and other disputes. But 65 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: then he highlighted our common and shared history and called 66 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: for a new approach, the new approach prioritizing us interests. 67 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: So like, yeah, we have this history, but guess what 68 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: we've got the bigger wallet, and we have had it 69 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 2: for a long time. 70 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that there's been a lot of 71 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 4: talk that's come out of Europe about you know, you know, 72 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 4: especially when Trump was talking about evading Greenland, about kicking 73 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 4: the US out of NATO. You know that doesn't work 74 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 4: really well. I mean, the Europeans and NATO know that 75 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: they rely on the American military for their security. Because 76 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 4: what's going to happen if you kick the US out 77 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: of NATO or push back too hard? Okay, fine, We'll 78 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 4: take all of our foreign military bases and bring them 79 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 4: home to the United States and bring those troops home 80 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: and save all that expense and money. Oh and by 81 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: the way, you'll be left completely undefended versus any potential 82 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: aggressor that might want to come your way. 83 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: One of the things that you didn't hear him talking 84 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: about was that diversity is our strength. He didn't go 85 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: down that route. A lot of people were saying that 86 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: it was one of the best speeches of all time. 87 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: Here's a little bit more from it. 88 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: Allience that we want is one that is not paralyzed 89 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: into an action by fear, fear of climate change, fear 90 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: of war, fear of technology. Instead We want an alliance 91 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: that boldly races into the future, and the only fear 92 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: we have is the fear of the shame of not 93 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and wealthier for our children. 94 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: An alliance ready. 95 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: To defend our people, to safeguard our interests, and to 96 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape 97 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: our own destiny, not one that exists to operate a 98 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: global welfare state and atone for the purported sins of 99 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 1: past generations. An alliance that does not allow its power 100 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: to be outsourced, constrained, or subordinated to systems beyond its control. 101 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: One that does not depend on others for the critical 102 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: necessities of it's national life, and one that does not 103 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: maintain the polite pretense that our way of life is 104 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: just one among many, and that asked for permission before 105 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: it acts. 106 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: He was critical on mass immigration, climate agendas, and he 107 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: was betting on tougher foreign policy. One thing that I 108 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: did notice that was happening, which seemed I don't know, different, 109 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: is that you had spontaneous applause happening. 110 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 4: Well, I think this goes back a little bit to 111 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 4: that good Cop, Bad cop that I just talked about 112 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 4: a little bit ago. 113 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: You know, we send JD. 114 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: Vans over to Europe and he beats him over the 115 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: head about free speech and how you guys aren't pulling 116 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 4: your weight and you're not doing the right thing. 117 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: And Trump goes over there and says similar things. 118 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: And so I think the Europeans from put yourself in 119 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 4: their shoes for the last year, they're used to getting 120 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 4: their brains beat in by the Trump administration, of course figuratively, 121 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 4: but Trump has gone over there and been very tough 122 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: and you know, thrown tariffs in their face and threatened 123 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 4: to invade Greenland and everything else that the Trump is 124 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 4: administration is doing. And so I think that as they 125 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 4: showed up and sat in their seats, Marco Rubio walked 126 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: on stage, I think they were probably preparing themselves for 127 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 4: another beating. And then when they didn't get it, and 128 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: Rubio sounded so stately and so diplomatic and so reasonable, 129 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 4: I think that's where that spontaneous applause probably came from. 130 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 4: They were not expecting this sort of direction from this administration. 131 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: He's definitely become one of the most influential figures in 132 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: US foreign policy, clearly a key man for Donald Trump. 133 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: It almost seems like Donald Trump goes to Marco Rubio 134 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: more often than he does JD. Vance, especially on Venezuela. 135 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 4: Well, look, Rubio has a ton more experience from Vance. 136 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 3: Keep in mind JD. 137 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: Vance had been a senator for exactly two years when 138 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 4: he was picked as Donald Trump's the vice presidential nominee. 139 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: So JD. 140 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 4: Vance does not have this massive portfolio of experience or 141 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 4: all this foreign policy experience that he can sit here 142 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 4: in Lena. Rubio has been a senator for a long time, 143 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: He's run for president himself. He has this vast swath 144 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: of a experience that he can pull on. So it 145 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 4: makes sense that he may be a little bit more 146 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 4: of a trusted advisor for Trump than JD. Vance's right now, 147 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 4: especially when it comes to foreign policy. 148 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: Kevin, I want to forward to clip number twenty six 149 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: because after this speech, you heard so many people saying, hey, 150 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: maybe a little bit too early to say, but Marco 151 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: Rubio in twenty twenty eight, and then you hear a 152 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: lot of people saying, woh, a Vance Rubio ticket is 153 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: the way to go. But you have a different idea. 154 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, look this is. 155 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 4: My opinion, and it's kind of been formed ever since 156 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 4: the US invaded, you know, Venezuela and took out Maduro, 157 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: because it had a lot of alternate consequences in that region. 158 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: And one of the big consequences of that Maduro raid 159 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: is the fact that it has shut off Venezuela and 160 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 4: oil for Cuba. Cuba is struggling right now. Cuba is 161 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: not getting the energy they need. They've been completely cut 162 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: off from the rest of the world. Their sugar daddy, 163 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 4: Russia is caught up in a war with Ukraine and 164 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: is paying them no attention. And so, you know, my 165 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 4: hot take on this prediction is, Look, it wouldn't surprise 166 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 4: me if Cuba ends up crumbling into chaos and the 167 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 4: United States has to go in. And if the United 168 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 4: States ends up going in to prop up a failed 169 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 4: state in Cuba, who are they going to put in 170 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 4: place to run that country? 171 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: I see a scenario. 172 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: How about the son of Cuban immigrants. 173 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio. 174 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: I think it is much more likely that in twenty 175 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 4: twenty eight, Marco Rubio is the quote unquote governor of 176 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 4: Cuba than he is going to be a nominee for 177 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: president of the United States. 178 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: Probably something he would want to do more too. 179 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and again I'm speculating here, but put yourself in 180 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 4: Marco rubio shoes, the son of Cuban immigrants, to his 181 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 4: legacy would be much greater as the guy who re 182 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 4: built Cuba and brought it back into the world stage 183 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 4: than anything he would do running for president in twenty 184 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 4: twenty eight. So if I'm Marco Rubio, I would much rather, 185 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 4: you know, roll up my sleeves and get in there 186 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: and do whatever I can to fix Cuba, make it 187 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 4: an American ally and bring it into the twenty first century. 188 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 4: As opposed to president running for president in twenty twenty eight. 189 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody to set out a free Cuba from communism, 190 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 2: bring it back to its former glory. He could be 191 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: really close to achieving that. And here's what Donald Trump 192 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: had to say about Cuba being a failed nation. 193 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 5: Morning, Cuba to make a deal. What does that deal 194 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 5: look like? What do you want them edor deal? Cuba 195 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 5: is right now a failed nation. They don't even have 196 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 5: jet fuel to get for aeroplanes to take off, their 197 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 5: clogging up their runway. 198 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 6: But we're talking to look for Cuba right now, and 199 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 6: Marco Rubio talking to Cuba right now, and they should 200 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 6: absolutely make a deal because it's a it's really a 201 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 6: humanitarian threat. And we have a lot of great Cuban 202 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 6: Americans and they're going to be very happy when they're 203 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 6: going to be able to go back and say hello 204 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 6: to their relatives and do things that they should have 205 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 6: been allowed to do for a long time. Very interested 206 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 6: in the people that are here that we're treated so 207 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 6: badly by Castrow and the Cuban patarity say, I've been 208 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 6: treated horribly. So we'll see how it all turns out 209 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 6: with Cuba and US. 210 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: We are talking anything. 211 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 6: In the meantime, there's an embargo, there's no oil, there's 212 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 6: no money, there's no anything you deal in. 213 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: That mean when you US Cuba relations, decades of sanctions 214 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: and geopolitical tension, any deal with Cuba needs to prioritize 215 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: the Cuban people who have been punished so severely for 216 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: so long. Also regional stability clearly, and diplomacy. And you 217 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: know who's good at that, Marco Ruby, the guy who 218 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: just mentioned it, the. 219 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 4: Guy who just crushed into Munich Security Conference speech. Look, 220 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 4: I don't see any scenario where the current current state 221 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 4: of Cuba and its government survives this Trump administration. Trump 222 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 4: is you know, he's he's touted out them and row doctrine. 223 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 4: This is our hemisphere. We're going to do whatever we 224 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 4: want to secure America's interested in this hemisphere. Now different 225 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 4: than what happened in Venezuela. Trump doing it through a 226 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: blockade and not allowing oil and not allowing money and 227 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 4: going to let that regime crumble under its own weight. 228 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 4: And then of course it'll be our responsibility to go 229 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: in there and fix it. 230 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 3: And who are the Cuban people going. 231 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 4: To you know, I've respond to, yeah, follow a guy 232 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: with Cuban roots, a guy whose family fled Cuba and 233 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 4: is now this international diplomat and the Secretary of State 234 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 4: of the United States. He seems to be the type 235 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: of person that that that role would just fit perfectly for. 236 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: And like you said, my guess is that's something Rubio 237 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,599 Speaker 4: would rather do than even running for president of the 238 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 4: United States. 239 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 2: That would he would prefer that as his legacy is. 240 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 4: It's an even bigger legacy than it would be to 241 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 4: run for president of the United States. 242 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: To regerve on one more job for. 243 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: Rubio, I think he probably My guess is if all 244 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 4: of that happens, and look, there's one hundred things that 245 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 4: have to line up before we get to that point. 246 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 4: But if all of that happens, my guess is Rubio 247 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 4: would probably leave those other duties behind to focus solely 248 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: on running. 249 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: It is interesting. You've seen the growth of him under 250 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 2: Trump administration, and I think that he has grown in 251 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: his role much more than J. D. Vance has. But 252 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: he's also changed his politics a little. He has gotten 253 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 2: more conservative. 254 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, I mean, and you're right, because he's gone 255 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 4: in ten years, he's gone from little Marco to probably 256 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 4: Trump one of Trump's most trusted advisor. But you're right, 257 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 4: he has shown a lot of growth. He has been 258 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 4: more conservative, and he's been more firm and resolute in 259 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 4: all his policy positions he has and I guess that's 260 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 4: what ten years of experience will do for you. But look, 261 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 4: Marco Rubio is absolutely, at this moment the shining star 262 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: of the Trump administration, and rightly so.
