Donald Trump assumed the presidency and

01:01

background as more deranged and bold

01:08

Republicans stepped up to replace him

01:10

of the woodwork and apparently there are

01:14

rumors that Donald Trump May select

01:16

Rubio to be his running mate for this

02:47

anything about bankrupting four

02:48

02:50

bankrupt as you can tell there was a

02:53

time when these two not only didn't get

02:54

along they seemingly despised each other

02:57

and took every opportunity not just to

02:59

disagree on policy Donald Trump

03:00

obviously knows nothing about policy but

03:02

to make vicious personal attacks at each

03:05

other well now Marco Rubio if you've

03:08

ever watched Game of Thrones is

03:09

effectively reek he is a shadow of his

03:11

former self nowhere nearest Define you

03:13

can even see it in his posture he's

03:14

hunched forward he can't possibly bring

03:17

himself to publicly defy the cult leader

03:19

Donald Trump and that will be made

03:21

abundantly clear in the clips I'm about

03:23

to show you and I want you to remember

03:25

one of the segments or one of the little

03:28

bits in the clip that I just played the

03:29

Montage in which he refers to Trump as a

03:31

con artist keep that in the back of your

03:33

mind but yeah we're going to play some

03:35

of these clips and we're going to unpack

03:36

them together I want to turn to politics

03:39

there was some reporting this week that

03:41

you are possibly under consideration to

03:43

be Donald Trump's running mate I don't

03:45

put a lot of stock in this reporting

03:46

right now we're we're early uh but you

03:48

said it would be an honor to be offered

03:49

a spot on his ticket really yeah I think

03:52

anyone who's offered the opportunity to

03:53

serve this country as Vice President

03:54

should be honored by the opportunity to

03:56

do it if you're in public service I'm in

03:58

the Senate cuz I want to serve the

03:59

country being vice president is an

04:00

important way to serve the country but

04:02

I've also been clear I've never talked

04:04

to Donald Trump I've never talked to

04:05

anybody on his team or family or Inner

04:07

Circle about vice president that's a

04:09

decision he's going to make he has

04:10

plenty of really good people to pick

04:12

from I mean the reason why I asked is I

04:13

mean look what happened to the last guy

04:15

uh I mean a mob stormed the capital

04:18

literally calling to hang Mike Pence and

04:21

Trump defended those chance of hang Mike

04:23

Pence I will tell you this that when

04:25

Donald Trump was President the United

04:26

States this country was safer it was

04:28

more prosperous we had we had relations

04:30

for example in a part of the world that

04:32

I care about called the Western

04:33

Hemisphere that that that were very

04:35

strong we had a lot of good things done

04:36

there I think the country and the world

04:38

was a better place when he was

04:39

president okay so a couple of things

04:41

even granting let's assume that that's

04:44

the case we have no reason to grant that

04:45

that's the case as a matter of fact we

04:46

have plenty of reason to believe

04:47

otherwise given that Donald Trump was

04:50

president in 2020 during the covid

04:52

pandemic in which the economy cratered

04:55

and hundreds of thousands of Americans

04:56

died ultimately a million in large part

04:58

because of Donald Trump's mismanagement

05:00

of the pandemic just setting all that

05:03

aside you also have to prove that for

05:05

whatever Prosperity you saw in this

05:07

country and in the world Donald Trump

05:09

was responsible for it again Republicans

05:11

do this all the time not only do they

05:12

shave 2020 off of Donald Trump's

05:15

four-year term they just basically give

05:16

him three years and hope that we forget

05:18

about the fourth year they also say hey

05:20

because this thing occurred while Trump

05:22

was President Trump was responsible for

05:24

it he gets the credit unless it's a bad

05:26

thing that happened while Donald Trump

05:27

was president and then that doesn't

05:28

count he shouldn't get the blame for it

05:30

they do this awkward Jerry mandering

05:31

that we should endlessly Mock and point

05:34

out but the other thing

05:36

is the point that Jonathan Carl made

05:38

about Donald Trump's previous vice

05:40

president is something worth addressing

05:42

given that not only did Donald Trump

05:45

rile up a mob with murderous Intentions

05:48

by the way towards then vice president

05:50

Mike Pence as we've discussed Mike Pence

05:52

over the past week or so has publicly

05:55

declared that he will refuse to endorse

05:58

Donald Trump for a second terms so maybe

06:00

Marco Rubio should keep that in mind

06:01

that a fellow Republican Donald Trump's

06:03

former vice president a man who

06:05

presumably knows Trump and has worked

06:06

with Trump much more closely than even

06:08

Rubio uh won't endorse him for a second

06:10

term so maybe that undermines Rubio's

06:13

entire endorsement of trump now with

06:15

that in mind I want to play this next

06:17

clip which is a continuation of the

06:18

first in which Marco

06:21

Rubio um then does the inverse of

06:23

everything that he just did with Trump

06:25

and he displays

06:27

fullon chronic

06:30

perhaps I don't know just really bad

06:33

Biden derangement syndrome Biden

06:36

derangement syndrome you'll kind of be

06:38

shocked at how far he takes this who's

06:40

there now Joe Biden who's been a

06:42

disaster economically look look at the

06:44

world every single day we wake to a new

06:46

crisis to a new conflict everything has

06:48

gone on fire since the time Joe Biden

06:49

took over Afghanistan's gone down

06:51

Ukraine has been invaded now the

06:53

Philippines and the Chinese are on the

06:55

verge of something bad happening every

06:56

single day not to mention the threats to

06:58

Taiwan we we have this blow up in Haiti

07:00

going on in our very own hemisphere we

07:02

wake up every single day terrorist

07:03

attacks 9 million people across the

07:05

border you're not suggesting that's all

07:07

happening because of Biden absolutely I

07:11

absolutely I'm suggesting it happening

07:12

because of Biden he's president and his

07:14

weakness and his it's because of Biden

07:16

that that that Russia invaded Ukraine

07:18

it's because of Biden that that that

07:20

Haiti okay absolutely I mean Putin is

07:22

sitting there saying these guys can't

07:23

even stand up to the Taliban and they

07:24

have to fly people hanging off the wings

07:26

of these airplanes Now's the Time to go

07:28

it's and by the way I mean Trump's the

07:30

one saying that that suggesting that

07:32

that there should be a deal that g

07:33

effectively gives uh Putin what he wants

07:36

in Ukraine but can we take that's not

07:37

true what he has said is he wants the

07:39

conflict to end which is striking to me

07:40

that people why wouldn't people want

07:42

peace what I've said is there is going

07:44

to be a negotiated so Russia's not going

07:45

to take all of Ukraine and Ukraine's not

07:47

going to push Russia back to the where

07:48

it was in 2014 I want Ukraine to have

07:51

the upper hand in any

07:53

negotiation but Donald Trump has made it

07:55

abundantly clear while he was in office

07:57

when he attempted to extort Ukrainian

08:00

President Vladimir zalinski in order to

08:02

dig up dirt on Joe Biden his then

08:03

domestic political rival which is

08:05

insanely corrupt and Rubio would be

08:07

shouting from the rooftops if a Democrat

08:09

ever attempted to do that to a

08:11

republican but of course because

08:12

Democrats are morally and ethically

08:13

superior to elected Republicans

08:15

something like that's not going to

08:17

happen but I digress you see the slight

08:19

of hand there Jonathan Carl points out

08:21

well well listen if you're talking about

08:23

you know appeasing Putin Trump has

08:26

publicly said that he does want to

08:27

appease Putin he's publicly appeased and

08:29

praised Putin in the past so why should

08:31

we believe that Putin would behave

08:33

differently if Trump was in power for uh

08:36

a second term why would we believe that

08:39

and again note the Biden derangement

08:41

syndrome he literally blames everything

08:44

bad in the world on Joe Biden Jonathan

08:46

Carl couldn't even believe it he was

08:47

just like wait wait a minute surely you

08:49

don't believe that all of the world's

08:51

problems are Joe Biden's fault and Marco

08:53

Rubio with a straight face yeah of

08:54

course it is it's all Joe Biden's fault

08:57

that is Biden derangement syndrome that

09:00

is more of a derangement syndrome than

09:02

anything we've heard from critics of

09:04

trump about Trump trump derangement

09:07

syndrome is nothing in comparison to Joe

09:09

Biden is literally responsible for all

09:11

the problems in the world super weird

09:13

stuff but if you think that was

09:15

uncomfortable watching him stammer

09:16

through these answers you need to watch

09:18

this and now we're coming full circle

09:20

because Jonathan Carl hits Marco Rubio

09:23

with Marco Rubio down memory lane while

09:25

we're talking about this this was you in

09:28

2016

09:30

what we are dealing with here my friends

09:32

is a con artist he is a con artist first

09:37

of all he runs on this idea that he is

09:39

fighting for the little guy but he has

09:41

spent his entire career sticking it to

09:44

the little guy you all have friends that

09:46

are thinking about voting for Donald

09:47

Trump friends do not let friends vote

09:49

for

09:50

conard friends do not let friends vote

09:53

for you know I could have gone on I

09:55

could have played more but so so why

09:56

didn't you play the clip of KLA Harris

09:58

basically insinuating the Biden was a

09:59

segregation debate stage she's now his

10:01

vice president we play that but but but

10:03

let me ask you we didn't play it now

10:05

that was then yeah that was then but it

10:06

was a campaign okay okay but but let me

10:08

ask you right now where we are right now

10:11

Donald Trump is is making the case and

10:13

he's going to do it before The Supreme

10:15

Court that the president of the United

10:17

States should have absolute immunity

10:19

should effectively be above the law for

10:21

virtually anything that a president does

10:23

while in office you don't agree with

10:25

that do well I don't so I don't think

10:27

that on the case of immunity there's two

10:28

separate issues here one is can the

10:30

president do anything can he go out and

10:31

basically you know kill one of members

10:33

of his staff overnight inside the White

10:35

House obviously that's an absurd outcome

10:37

and that's a common crime but I do think

10:38

there's a legitimate issue here that we

10:39

need to talk about RIT large especially

10:41

after what we've seen the last three

10:42

years is do we want to live in a country

10:45

where basically the opponents of a

10:46

president can can can extort them can

10:49

have leverage over them during their

10:51

entire presidency and say don't worry

10:52

once you're out of office we're going to

10:54

prosecute you we're going to come after

10:55

you we're going to charge you for this

10:56

crime we're going to charge that CRI

10:57

absolutely he's he's saying absolutely

11:00

I mean we'll seean we you know this goes

11:02

before The Supreme Court argum as a guy

11:05

R he's not representing himself at the

11:07

Supreme Court Lawyers will make that

11:08

argument but we're living in a country

11:10

now where basically if you're president

11:11

now you have to think to yourself I got

11:13

to be careful what I do as president not

11:14

even legal or illegal even on policy

11:16

because if I upset the wrong people as

11:18

soon as I leave you should be careful

11:20

not to break the laws well but but but

11:22

you look at these prosecutions that are

11:23

coming about you've got this lady clear

11:25

partisan in New York who's basically

11:27

Prosecuting the president over loans

11:29

something that's never been done to

11:30

anybody before the banks who supposedly

11:33

the victims of what they claim are all

11:34

saying we don't even rely on what the

11:36

president's statements are we do our own

11:37

internal investigation to see if the

11:39

properties are worth what they're worth

11:41

and you've got a judgment on them that's

11:43

just so that was really awkward that was

11:46

really awkward for Marco Rubio to try to

11:49

run defense and carry water for Trump's

11:52

assertions that he is entitled to

11:54

Absolute legal immunity I mean just

11:55

super awkward Donald Trump makes no

11:58

exception with these things and now

12:00

Rubio says well his lawyers will argue

12:01

something different okay sure but Trump

12:04

the actual presidential candidate says

12:07

and seems to believe that he should be

12:09

above the law it doesn't matter what

12:10

Trump's attorneys argue they have a more

12:13

sophisticated understanding of the law

12:14

and they could probably couch it in

12:16

better legal EAS than Trump can but

12:18

isn't it really weird and uncomfortable

12:21

and dangerous that the guy you're

12:23

pledging allegiance to who you used to

12:25

publicly mock seems to have that sense

12:27

of entitlement Marco if Barack Obama or

12:30

Joe Biden were running around saying

12:32

that they should be entitled to Absolute

12:34

immunity what would you as a republican

12:36

say you wouldn't appeal to their

12:38

attorneys you would of course decry that

12:40

language as well you should because that

12:43

sort of language and rhetoric and

12:44

sentiment is dangerous no matter who

12:46

it's coming from a Democratic

12:48

presidential candidate or a Republican

12:50

presidential candidate but as is often

12:51

the case the bad stuff uniquely comes

12:53

from the Republican and if you had any

12:56

sort of integrity and spine whatsoever

12:58

you would call it out and say no Donald

13:00

you were not entitled nor should you be

13:02

nor should anybody be entitled to

13:03

Absolute legal immunity but listen Marco

13:07

Rubio a member of the party of Law and

13:09

Order and personal accountability is

13:12

making excuses and he seems to be very

13:13

upset clutching his pearls that Donald

13:15

Trump seems to be facing Law and Order

13:19

and personal accountability or at least

13:20

legal accountability since he himself

13:22

won't take any but just watching him

13:24

bend over backwards especially when you

13:26

know Jonathan Carl plays that clip and

13:28

then this idea that why didn't you play

13:29

stuff that kamla Harris ever said about

13:32

Joe Biden well number one you're not KLA

13:34

Harris why the hell would Jonathan Carl

13:36

Play a clip about kamla Harris or of

13:38

kamla Harris when you're not kamla

13:40

Harris and the question has nothing to

13:41

do with kamla Harris he just so weird

13:44

and cringe and ridiculous and by the way

13:46

vice president Harris said nothing to

13:48

the extent or frequency against

13:50

President Biden then Joe Biden uh that

13:53

Marco Rubio said about Donald Trump like

13:54

against apples and oranges is it true

13:57

that uh Prim candidates tend to take

14:00

shots at each other yes but Rubio Trump

14:03

Cruz and Trump uh Lindsey Graham and

14:06

Trump they went infinitely harder in the

14:08

paint and it was infinitely more

14:10

personal and consistent that why that's

14:12

why the 180 that they've done is so

14:15

jarring because it's unusual compared to

14:17

standard primary politics Marco Ruby is

14:20

say ah it's just it's a typical primary

14:22

no it's not we've never seen anything

14:24

like that in a Republican primary or a

14:26

Democratic primary no matter how much he

14:28

wants to pretend otherwise the fact of

14:29

the matter is Marco Rubio should Slither

14:31

back into the Shadows because he has no

14:34

Charisma he has no credibility nobody

14:36

takes him seriously anymore and again

14:37

visibly uncomfortable and pain the whole

14:40

time stammering through these answers he

14:42

knows that um he's debasing himself and

14:45

yet he does it anyway and that is the

14:47

dangerous power of Donald Trump and the

14:49

threat that this cult poses to the rest

14:51

of the country let me know what you

14:53

think in the comments
