Marco Rubio

I spoke to Senator Marco Rubio last night on the program who actually was in favor of much of what the Obama White House has done thus far.

It's important at moments like this we avoid the harsh rhetoric that perhaps could be counterproductive.

It is critical. We're a free society. We will have this debate for years to come.

I have certainly been a critic of the Obama foreign policy in general. I continue to be.

I think it was important that Secretary Kerry go there today. I saw his press conference earlier on CNN. Listened to it on the radio actually on Sirius XM and found it to be encouraging in terms of his language.

There's got to be a consequence for this action. This can be the new international norm that you can move troops in to a neighboring country when you don't like the way things turn out and in order to successfully be able to do that, we…

First is allowing or helping the government in Kiev to become stable. We want to keep this from getting worse and that includes allowing it to spread into the eastern parts of Ukraine and transitioning to the normalcy they seek.

You have great champions in both of your Senators in regard to these issues and every other issue that affects the North Pacific.

Have you been to Argentina?

You got 850,000 people in Florida who have no insurance.

I have introduced legislation to repeal [section 1342 of ObamaCare].

I think the leash is--and I have stated this in our meetings before--go and see what sanctions relief you can get without giving up what we believe--Iranians believe is their inherent right to enrich.

Would we not be stronger in that insistence if our stated and open position in any negotiations was Iran does not have a right to enrich?

But there are countries that do want to have that capability and that will point to the fact that other countries have that capability.

But the enrichment or reprocessing capability--the infrastructure of reprocessing and the infrastructure behind enrichment--once it is in place, it is basically just a policy decision at that point about whether you want to continue to…

But they did not get it from us.

It is new for a lot of us that have been here just a couple of years.

Is it safe to say that the revelations that he has made, what this individual has done is perhaps the gravest violation and most significant, most harmful revelation of American intelligence secrets in our history?

Is it also safe to say that General Flynn, I would ask you this. Are there men and women in uniform who are potentially in harm's way because of what this individual has done?

Is it safe to say that he has not just compromised operations, but there are Americans and allies who are at risk because of the actions of this individual?

It has been an imprisoned island all my life, literally.

I have two followup questions. I understand you have already spoken about the issue of Venezuela.

I think we share strongly an understanding, and one that you have firsthand, of the nature of the regime.

When you say 'move forward,' move forward on democratic reforms, not simply economic reform.

I think we all believe that change almost by definition will come, has to come.
