Marco Rubio

Thank you, gentlemen, for appearing here before us today.

The first is a sustainable fishery, is that--is a goal we all share.

The United States is, from a global perspective, in a competition for influence.

Approval of the trade agreements with Panama and Colombia have been delayed for more than 5 years.

And I would say that it is enormously important that we come together on a bipartisan basis and find a way to lock in these reforms.

I think there has to be a compromise on a bipartisan basis, like we did in the late 1990s.

It seems to me like this idea, that we're going to somehow be able to pressure and/or convince them to abandon this program--the price of pressuring them seems like it's extraordinarily high, given the central importance that this has on…

It sounds like the testimony, basically, is that they're willing to let their people starve.

I think that the argument that some have made--and not that I'm making it today, but the argument that some have made is that, the fact that we--that, to the extent that food does get to people in North Korea--and it's a very calloused…

It is the--it is something that they--their ability to have a nuclear program makes them, not just a force to be reckoned with in the region.

The next senator from Florida will be a yes vote to banning all earmark spending in the United States Congress.

Today, I want to talk to you about banning earmarks.

Rubio says Crist's decision to switch parties will not change his campaign strategy.

Crist was once the overwhelming favorite in the battle for the Republican senate nomination. Now, he trails former Florida house speaker Marco Rubio by more than 20 points.

We hope the Republican Party is the home of that movement, and that's what we're -- we're working towards making sure that that is.

America already has a Democrat Party. It doesn't need two Democrat parties.

It is hard to believe that it has been a year since the Obama-Crist stimulus package happened in this very building.

I have never believed that behaving more like Democrats is the way Republicans are going to be successful.

Cuba's pro-democracy activists and their focus on human rights did not resonate with Cubans.
