“Look at the speech that Rubio gave. Yeah, that was great. In Greece. I mean – The aesthetics from point. As someone who loves to study rhetoric and literature, I have never heard – in a very long time I've not heard a political speech, an oration as eloquent and on the money and completely beautifully delivered as the Rubio speech yesterday. The only other one that comes to a close tie is RFK Jr.'s concession speech. I also thought that was a remarkable political oration of our times. Like market is one of the top speeches you've heard in your lifetimes. And I think that happened with Rubio, who is se”

“good. He's so articulate. He's so unequivocal. Here he is making the case for America, for this country. If you have a Democrat president, if that's, you know, Anthony Blinken, you don't hear this. You know, you hear apologies and equivalents and globalism and all that garbage. Not from Rubio. Listen to this. Why that's doing that? Give me one second. All right. I hope you can listen to it. I mean, I'd like to listen to it. Anyway, he talks about we shouldn't apologize. That's what I want to hear from my secretary of state. Hell, I want to hear that from the president.”

“t. Speaking of, it's time, Hollywood Sean, for the relief factor pain of the week. [SPEAKER_03] No. [SPEAKER_05] The relief factor pain of the week. All right. The relief factor pain of the week. As you know, I was very complimentary of Secretary of State Marco Rubio for going to Greece and giving this remarkable address about Western civilization in front of the Acropolis. Just incredible staff work. [SPEAKER_05] The visuals, the sweeping nature of it, the oratory, dramatic, brilliant. Great recitation of what we stand for in the world.”

“with Rand Paul. Rand Paul's ready to go. We're going to bring in Rand one second. He served with Rand Paul. Like Marco Rubio is a smart cookie. I think he's probably, Marco Rubio is probably an MVP or a most improved player in the, in, in Trump's second term. He's just, he's just an all time. He's an all timer. I love Marco Rubio. He's been doing excellent work. [SPEAKER_04] I think the chat loves Marco Rubio chat. You love Marco Rubio. The chat wants Marco Rubio to run for president. Okay. So he's not going to lie to you. He's not going to go on one of the biggest shows on TV and lie to you. So he sa”

“wn to them. Sort of like Scott Morrison bringing it into Parliament and just saying, here's my ornamental hunk of coal. But hey, look, there is good news out there. And it's coming to us out of Greece, where in front of a huge, stunning backdrop of the Acropolis, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has given an absolutely unbelievable, stirring stemwinder speech on the need to protect Western civilization, where we've gone astray, and what we need to do to save it. Here's just a little bit of it. And now, today, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Because the next decade”

“] major escalation, or murdering a family in Kesham, aiding and abetting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza. The Trump regime has blood all over the hands. They are war criminals. And as I said, you should not be allowed to run for the presidency in the Democratic side unless you promise all American people, Hegseth, Trump, Rubio, Vance, anybody in the chain [SPEAKER_09] of command who was involved in war crimes will be handed over to The Hague and that stupid ballroom will be demolished day one on live TV.

“yed sending refugees, people who come to the United States because they are refugees seeking asylum. And we are now sending these people to countries wherein they have no uh affiliation whatsoever. It's like taking somebody from Venezuela and sending them to Batswana. The terrorists in this situation are Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, all of these ICE officers, the Supreme Court, and all of this could end today if the Republican party had testicles. But they don't. And they go along with this cruelty and this insanity all day, every day because they like it. They're racist and they're neutered and they capitulate to a demented”

“world for death of his friend Jeffrey Epstein. That's why he's destroying the country. Everybody knows what he is and he's taking us all down with him. Nocturnal human. There is no Israel. There are just a bunch of bankers and oligarchs and the new elite billionaire class, the exia operatives from the 60s who sponsor Rubio. That Rubio has any position of influence of power should tell you enough of how broken our system is. Even if Jeffrey Epstein isn't dead, at the very least, Trump is punishing us for ruining his favorite island vacation spot. Nocturnal human. Stop making excuses for war criminals. Vance is a Peter Theal minion.”

“ad trouble staying awake? [SPEAKER_00] I've never been at any meeting. And the things you're showing me now, he's not falling asleep. So you're lying again. You're lying consistently to Congress. [SPEAKER_08] This is about sleep. You're lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio. So I'm going to show you another video in a moment. [SPEAKER_00] To respond to that, other than to tell you that it's absurd and ridiculous.

“sition because somehow despite the world's historical corruption and incompetence that is on display every day and that features most of his podcasts, they really do have the self-conception, some of them at least. I don't think Trump really gives a shit. [SPEAKER_11] But J.D. Vance and Rubio, that they are part of some rebirth of Western civilization when they're not. If anything, they represent the absolute moral rot of Western civilization. Like Western civilization, whatever that is, has just turned into nothing more than a money grab. And the fact that Kimberly Guilfoyle is like the ambassador wh”
