KARL: I need to flip to politics. There was some reporting this week that you’re probably into consideration to be Donald Trump’s working mate. I don’t put plenty of inventory on this reporting proper now, we’re early. However you stated it might be an honor to be supplied a spot on this ticket. Actually?!
RUBIO: Yeah. I feel anybody who’s supplied the chance to serve this nation as vice chairman must be honored by the chance to do it — should you’re in public service. I’m within the Senate as a result of I need to serve the nation. Being vice chairman is a crucial approach to serve the nation. However I’ve additionally been clear: I’ve by no means talked to Donald Trump. I’ve by no means talked to anyone on his workforce or household or inside circle about vice chairman.
That’s a choice he’s going to make. He has loads of actually good individuals to choose from.
KARL: However, I imply, the explanation why I ask is as a result of…I imply, look what occurred to the final man. I imply, a mob stormed the Capitol, actually calling to hold Mike Pence, and Trump defended these chants of “Cling Mike Pence.’”
RUBIO: I’ll let you know this — that when Donald Trump was president of the USA, this nation was safer; it was extra affluent; we had relations, for instance, in part of the world that I care about referred to as the Western Hemisphere that have been very robust. We obtained plenty of good issues carried out there. I feel the nation and the world have been a greater place when he was president.
And I might like to see him return to the White Home compared to the man who’s there now, Joe Biden, who’s been a catastrophe…economically. Have a look at the world. Each single day, we wake to a brand new disaster, to a brand new battle, every little thing has gone on hearth. For the reason that time Joe Biden took over, Afghanistan’s gone down, Ukraine has been invaded.
Now, the Philippines and the Chinese language are on the verge of one thing dangerous occurring each single day, to not point out the threats to Taiwan. Now we have this blow-up in Haiti happening in our very personal hemisphere. We get up each single day — terrorist assaults and 9 million individuals throughout the border. That’s what issues to me.
KARL (stuttering): However, however, however I imply, I imply, I imply, you’re not suggesting that’s all occurring due to Biden? I imply, look —
RUBIO: Completely I’m. Completely, I’m suggesting it’s occurring due to Biden. He’s president, and his weak point and his…
KARL (surprised and sputtering): It’s due to Biden that, that, that Russia invaded Ukraine?!
RUBIO: Completely.
KARL (stuttering): It’s due to Biden that that Haiti. Okay, let’s…
RUBIO: Completely. I imply, Putin is sitting there saying, “These guys can’t even stand as much as the Taliban, and so they need to fly individuals hanging off the wings of those airplanes, now’s the time to go.” And…
KARL: I imply, Trump’s the one saying, suggesting that there must be a deal that successfully offers Putin what he needs in Ukraine. However look, can we take a fast…
RUBIO: Nicely, that’s not true. He’s stated he needs the battle to finish, which, it’s placing to me that folks…why wouldn’t individuals need peace? What I’ve stated is there may be going to be a negotiated peace.
Russia’s not going to take all of Ukraine. And Ukraine’s not going to push Russia again to the place it was in 2014. I would like Ukraine to have the higher hand in any negotiation.
If Trump was watching this interview, he needed to like what he noticed from the person he as soon as derided as “Little Marco.” Rubio has come a great distance since that brutal 2016 Presidential major in opposition to then-candidate Trump.
