They first must identify them, and that's easier said than done, with these terrorist-loving psychopaths wrapping themselves up like The Invisible Man.

She tried to trip him up but he had an excellent command of the subject, not to mention the facts being on his side.
Her handlers must be disappointed that she never put a glove on him.

Secretary Rubio: Minerals Deal Not Important, Finding Out if Ukraine Truly wants Peace is Goal of Saudi Meeting

The information from Secretary of State Marco Rubio looks good. During his flight to Saudi Arabia, Secretary Rubio answered a few questions about the U.S. delegation expectations of the meeting with Ukraine officials.

Rubio notes the aforementioned “minerals deal” is not an important part of the larger objective. Secretary Rubio says that finding out if Ukraine’s desire for peace with Russia is true, in good faith or not, is the key objective. A pragmatic Rubio also notes that Ukraine is likely going to have to give up lost territory to achieve peace.

FOX NEWS – […] “”The minerals deal is on the table that’s continuing to be worked on – it’s not part of this conversation, per se,” he said, noting that Tuesday’s meeting in Jeddah can be considered successful even without securing such an agreement.

[…] “The important point in this meeting is to establish clearly their intentions, their desire, as they’ve said publicly now, numerous times, to reach a point where peace is possible,” Rubio said, adding that he will need to be assured that Kyiv is prepared to make some hard decisions, like giving up territory seized by Russia, in order to end the three-year war.

“Both sides need to come to an understanding,” he said. “The Russians can’t conquer all of Ukraine, and obviously it will be very difficult for Ukraine, in any reasonable time period, to sort of force the Russians back all the way to where they were in 2014. So the only solution to this war is diplomacy and getting them to a table where that’s possible.

“Then we’ll have to determine how far they are from the Russian position, which we don’t know yet either. And then once you understand where both sides truly are, it gives you a sense of how big the divide is and how hard it’s going to be,” Rubio explained. “I’m hoping it’ll be a positive interaction along those lines.” (more)

Rubio also seems to indicate that if the U.S delegation senses this is all just lies and disinformation from the Ukraine side, then President Trump’s approach to providing financial support will moderate accordingly. “The pause in aid broadly is something I hope we can resolve,” Rubio said. “I think what happens tomorrow will be key to that.”

Secretary Marco Rubio continues to surprise us in the way he has totally stopped pretending about geopolitical matters. There is no sunlight between the continually expressed and defined positions of Marco Rubio and the identical positions, perspectives and policies expressed by President Trump.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio completely dismantled Democrats' outrage over Trump deporting pro-Hamas foreigners.

RUBIO: When you come to the U.S. as a visitor - you are here as a VISITOR. We can deny you that visa. If you tell us - 'I am a big supporter of Hamas,' a m*rderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that r*pes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages - AND that you plan to rile up these activities at universities? We would deny you. And if you actually end up doing that? We will revoke it. And if you have a green card as a result of that visa? We're gonna kick you out. They have no right to be here.

He’s been a pleasant surprise so far and hoping for more of the same going forward.
Certainly helps that we have a President that is making the right choices too.

SecState Rubio. Game. Set. Match.

Loved it. Miss panties in a wad say's "ok".

That Margaret Brennan is such an idiot, but she probably thinks she's some kind of intellectual heavyweight. She's been outmatched by every single member of this administration whom she has argued with. Lol.

I'd agree completely with this. And although Rubio may be the best example, the same can be said of most of Trump's cabinet appointees this time around. I heard Energy Secretary Chris Wright being interviewed, and this was certainly true of him. He is also a spectacular appointment.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio Holds a Press Conference on Tariffs, NATO, Russia/Ukraine and More

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is attending a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. The timing puts Secretary Rubio in Europe just as NATO allies and European countries are reviewing the impact of the reciprocal tariffs levied against them by President Trump.

The press pool reacts to the concerns of several European and NATO member states through their questions. Secretary Rubio eloquently cuts through the nonsense, through the narrative engineering, and deliberately – with clarity – outlines the position of the Trump administration. Secretary Rubio is well within his element in these responses.

Rubio has really showcased a remarkable talent in support of President Trump and the diplomatic agenda of the Trump administration; remarkably so. The era of pretending diplomacy is coming rapidly to a close and Rubio is doing very well in his position.

I wonder if Trump made her sit in the corner facing the wall after that?

I just posted this on the Trump thread:

Rubio gets opposing sides in 30-year Congo war to sit down to negotiate peace

Interviewing well is an art form. Aside from his politics which Koppel kept hidden he was superb. He handled the crazy Iranian mullahs very well.

Marco is getting stronger and stronger with his voice and self confidence. Its great to watch him grow.

You Won't Believe What Rubio Found In Biden's State Department Files
Sarah Anderson | 11:35 AM on May 01, 2025


If you haven't watched one of Donald Trump's cabinet meetings, I highly recommend it. They're a treasure trove of updates on what's going on in the country straight from each cabinet member without the filter of the fake news, and they're often pretty entertaining. They're also run by Trump himself, not the first lady. As a matter of fact, I was getting ready to run a few errands when the one on Thursday took place, and next thing I knew, it was an hour later.

Yesterday's cabinet meeting was a mix of celebrating the Trump administration's first 100 days in office and revealing just how awful the Joe Biden administration truly was. One of the most shocking revelations probably came from the last speaker of the day, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who revealed that Biden was keeping files on United States citizens, monitoring their social media profiles, and attempting to identify "purveyors of disinformation."

"It wasn't widely reported, or maybe it was — we had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans," Rubio began.

(For what it's worth, assuming he's talking about the office formerly known as the Global Engagement Center, I did actually cover it here on April 16: A HUGE Win for Free Speech: Rubio Shuts Down Controversial State Department Office.)

But what he said next is what really shocked everyone. Not only was the Biden administration keeping files on U.S. citizens, but one of those people was sitting there at the table, a member of the actual cabinet. "And by the way, I'm not gonna say who it is — I'll leave it up to them — there's at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building of social media posts, to identify them as purveyors of disinformation. We have these dossiers. We are going to be turning those over to these individuals...and they'll decide whether they want to disclose it or not.

"Was it me or Elon?" Vice President JD Vance asked, causing the room to burst into laughter.

"But just think about, the Department of State of the United States had set up an office to monitor the social media posts and commentary of American citizens to identify them as vectors of disinformation when we know that the best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency," Rubio continued.


Rubio wasn't the only one with wild Biden administration accusations. Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, gave us an indication of what four years of a wide-open border did for allowing criminals and gang members into the country. "Just the other day, we found 700 alien terrorists who have ties to MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Sinaloa Cartel," she said, adding, "Just yesterday, our NCTC identified almost 600 individuals with ties to other terrorists who came through our borders illegally, claimed asylum, and under the Biden administration were paroled here within our borders."

1,300 terrorists in two days?

Rubio is now the national security advisor as well as the Secretary of State. Only Henry Kissinger has ever held both posts at the same time. Pretty remarkable how little Marco has grown into his position. He's doing a hell of a job.

But this is only temporary for Marco while they choose Waltz’s replacement and get him confirmed.
