Marco Rubio

Is this a dunk tank? What is this?

What kind of thing is this? What is this? You know, you get asked questions for five minutes and you don't get time to answer. It's not a hearing.

Not once. Just to be clear, not a single time, not even for a millisecond, has the president ever discussed his personal economics and relations to war or any public policy that he's made, for that matter.

I mean, is this the Foreign Affairs Committee or is this, like, a circus? What is this?

Ultimately, any deal we do will be a good deal, or there won't be a deal, and it'll be better than JCPOA.

We're still in NATO, but NATO needs significant changes, and the president has made that clear.

The president's view is that it's a lot easier to defend it when you have control and complete control of it.

It's not where it needs to be, but it is a long ways from where it was five months ago and poses not nearly the threat it once posed to America's national security. We're not satisfied with where it is, but we've come a long way.

I don't even know how to respond to that other than to tell you that it's absurd and ridiculous.

On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem.

I've never seen him fall asleep.

They "assimilate" more easily.

Reopening the strait is the predicate that opens the door to phase two of negotiations.

If they refuse to do so, then we have other options available to us, but we would prefer to negotiate the opening of this.

If Iran wants to be able to move its oil again through the strait, they will have to open the straits.

Well, the war is over.

Our foreign policy is one that's solely focused on the national interest of the United States of America.

No - that's not been discussed, that's not been offered.

They have to commit to very specific negotiations on highly enriched — the disposition of the highly enriched uranium that still is buried deep in a mountain somewhere.

Condition number one is they have to reopen the Straits.

Well, the war’s over now.

That's not just an economic issue, that is a political issue that over time could destabilize societies all over the world, and so we have to start thinking about AI in those terms as well.

AI will have very positive impacts on our economy and societies. It will also have some detriments.

The United States right now is a global leader on AI, but I think it is also wise to say that that lead is not irreversible. It has to be sustained and there will be a real challenge in sustaining it, and we're going to have to stay…

A nuclear-armed Iran could do whatever the hell they want with the Straits, and there’s nothing anyone would be able to do about it.
