Transcripts
Florida Senator Marco Rubio uh Senator
this was not your first State of the
Union Address uh your general
observations uh we saw I felt the
president that was screaming
yelling kind of ranting a speech that
was completely partisan maybe for
reasons that Joe uh I guess maybe just
known to himself but I thought it was
beyond bizarre at times and frankly a
little frightening because it's so
different than the every J everyday Joe
that we see and hear from what was your
reaction to such a dramatic
difference yeah the whole thing was
weird I mean I was actually concerned
for I mean it really was strange and I
think there's a couple things okay
here's this number one problem right
going into tonight there were people in
his own party that are that are really
worried about him does he have the
energy is he too old does he have the
mental and physical stamina so I think
they told him you got to go in there and
you got to show energy and to him that
meant let me scream like the guy that
screams at you to get off his lawn you
know scream for an hour and a half about
all kinds of things then there were
parts of it that frankly were bizarre
and insulting so for example he's out
there you know lecturing Americans about
basically here's the message the economy
is doing much better than you think it's
doing I don't care how much things cost
you I don't care how much you're
suffering or how much you're worried
about the future we have the best
economy in the world so he's describing
a country that is not the experience
people are having today and then went on
to do things that were really bizarre
this whole thing about building a port
in Gaza is just flat out strange I mean
the idea you're going to somehow build a
port and not have American servicemen in
the line in the line of fire with the
houthi firing Rockets over your head
with Hamas just off the coast with all
this going on is absurd you're putting
people in dangers way and all of it then
he talks about a two-state solution let
me tell you what he means by two-state
solution it's not Israel and Palestine
his State two-state solution that I
think he's trying to arrive at with all
these crazy ideas are Michigan and
Minnesota those are the two states that
he's most worried about because he's
afraid he's going to lose them tonight
he almost didn't make it I'm sure one of
the reasons why he was late is you had
these radical Hamas supporters many of
them key voters in the base of his party
that were blocking them from leaving the
White House they had to deal with those
crazies so that's one of the reasons why
he was late I imagine and the images
have been on television all afternoon so
just wait till the convention when those
crazies get there so the whole thing was
just bizarre you say
hyperarid Union ever I don't recall any
maybe there's been one in the past where
a sitting president mentions his
predecessor or or opponent and future
opponent so many different times and
misleads people with it so I think the
only thing he achieved tonight there's a
bunch of Democrats saying breathing a
sigh of relief that he's not Weekend at
Bernie's that he's not that you know
he's alive and and that he was able to
get through a speech and that apparently
he's still able to scream but beyond
that I mean I'm sure they're very happy
about it they're relieved I would say
say but the rest of the country saw kind
of a grumpy guy uh saying things that
are nonsensical then he some look he
mumbled a lot I couldn't I don't know if
it came across on TV you couldn't hear
it well on the floor some of it was
mumbling something about Snickers bars
and bags of chips I imagine he's talking
about like he claims Snickers bars are
smart smart smaller than they used to be
which I know is a big priority for many
Americans not things like our border but
um anyway the whole thing was just weird
well let me ask you this it will this
angry jacked up Joe Biden hyped up Joe
Biden hyper partisan Joe Biden will it
have the effect if the if the goal was
to perhaps sh up as base will will this
speech do that well it's a proof of Life
Speech right that's what it was is I'm
I'm alive and I'm able to give a speech
that I can read off a teleprompter and
I'm able to do the whisper but mostly
the screaming and I'm able to say things
that are really mean about the
Republican party and the the Supreme
Court and I can make claims that they're
going to get rid of Social Security
things that don't exist and it makes a
lot of the people in that room who are
some of them are pretty radical very
happy so I imagine if you're watching
some of these other networks some of
these commentators which are a bunch of
buffoons are out there saying oh this is
really you know they're just reading the
talking points that are being sent to
them so I think it achieved the proof of
life that maybe some of them they just
wanted to get through tonight I don't
think it makes any difference in terms
of the campaign and if this is what he's
going to campaign on this guy's going to
lose by eight or nine points I mean it's
just literally nonsensical bizarre uh U
you know hallucinations um it's
completely out of touch with reality but
you know I I imagine partisans are very
happy cuz he looked like he could scream
tough things you know and and and maybe
that's was enough for them for
tonight anyway Senator by the way it's
great to have a senator that uh actually
will talk to me from my own State now
I'm in the Free State of Florida your
state so uh that we appreciate you being
with us Senator Marco Rubio thank you
