we would like to welcome up senator marco rubio. [cheers and applause] >> and when you and i talked about, you called me and said we've got to do something in miami. he had to have said it. so he got on a plane. >> barely made it. carrying a lot of load up in washington. >> you really are. >> sean: you, i remember a number of times over the years, we've known each other a long time. your family's story, which many people relate to, and i think there is a percentage of the population in america that do not understand what it is we are explaining here that is happening. tell us the story. >> well, first of all, cuba shows that socialism doesn't work. marxism doesn't work. it has nothing to do with prosperity. it's about controlling people. marxist system wants to keep people poor because poor people are easier to control. a marxist system is about leveraging people basically saying you are not going to have food, medicine unless you'd agree to do what we want. that's the first thing. the second thing is the tyranny. tyranny doesn't pr

republican senator marco rubio, son of cuban immigrants, one of congress' most vocal critics told us last hour the sanctions are a good first step toward holding the regime accountable. >> is it enough, no. there are other things that need to be done, including a diplomatic surge. we should be at the oas now, convening it, pushing for inter american human rights commission to document abuses. from it, may be able to level more global sanctions and provide vpn and internet access to people of cuba so they can communicate with each other and with the world. >> the protests and cuba and fallout from demonstrations have become a hot political issue, especially among republicans eyeing a potential white house bid in 2024. more on that next. bid in 2024. more on that next. voiceover: riders. wanderers on the road of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destination. uh, i-i'm actually just going to get an iced coffee.

this is what we've heard from marco rubio. >> this is not just about covid.have a socialist regime that says you have no freedom, you have no independence, but you have a really good health care system. people are dying at their homes. these people are frustrated. they don't want to have their kids having to leave the country in order to lead normal lives. >> sandra: what you say to those the economic despair and the suffering, the despair of their living through it as a result pandemic? >> that's ridiculous. if the people are demonstrating against the pandemic, a mass demonstration with thousands of people is the last place you will be. this has nothing to do with the pandemic. this deals with decades of oppression. people want their freedom. they want freedom of the press. they want free and democratic elections. they want basic human rights which have been denied for 60 years. what you are seeing now is young people that have grown up in the system and they figured out, this doesn't work for us, it's never worked for anybody and we want freedom. again, if

communism is evil, as marco rubio said.now, i came from a communist country myself, from the soviet union. communists literally sucks the life out of people. it's responsible for hundreds of millions of victims around the world. it has failed everywhere it's been tried. this protest you're seeing in cuba is not a one-off. it's been building for 60 years. what you're seeing is frustrations of people from a system that suppressed them in the previous generation for decades and decades. you're seeing the result of that. frankly, the chants you are hearing of "liberty, liberty" falls in the face of american politicians like bernie sanders and aoc who try to gloss over communism and try to paint it has a system worthy of implementation among any group of people and that's just wrong. >> mike: let's get the read from secretary of state blinken. >> tired of the mismanagement of the cuban economy, tired of the lack of adequate food and of course inadequate response to the covid pandemic. that is what we are hearing and seeing in cu

we'll go to a sound bite from marco rubio. go ahead. >> marco rubio has been outspoken on this.hey are fighting to have rights. if "the squad," aoc, staying silent what is happening to cuba, backing the cuba people and resign from conference and go be activists for the democratic socialists of america. it is imperative we stand for the cuban people just like we stood with the hong kong freedom fighters and people of china and their fight. elizabeth: and in taiwan. representative malliotakis is saying bernie sanders you should go to cuba first-hand to see suffering under the communist dictatorship there. let's listen to senator marco rubio here. >> i don't know why it is so hard for them to criticize marxists. i think it is pretty clear people are not saying anything. the president took a whole day. he said something. he still left out the word marxists communist, socialists. you described the murderous nature of castro regime. that is what the nature of every marxist regime is always. marxism, socialist are built on this give power, stable economy, all you need, the price is you

marco rubio joined my colleague andrea mitchell just before sanctions were announced.reaction. >> this will be welcome. i think it's additional pressure especially if it begins to filter down to sort of the mid levels of the security forces. at the end of the day the key here is to go after the loyalty and the confidence of those in the security apparatus in cuba. is it enough? no. there other things that need to be done including a diplomatic surge. >>> joining me is ed augustine and the anchor of nbc's weekend nightly news and host of the new special "cuba's fight for freedom" which airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. ed, let's start with you. first of all, it's been a few hours since that announcement. what's the reactions to the ground on cuba? >> reporter: well, it's important to know most people living in cuba are against generalized u.s. sanctions which undermines their living standards, reduces the amount of food and medicine and petroleum as we saw under trump, that the state gets. in the end it's not the top government official that is suffer. i think people are reliev

the outside forces almost immediately saw these tweets that were coming from marco rubio, and they were very much encouraging this protest for freedom saying this is it. this is what we've never seen. the type of response in the streets. this is the beginning of freedom, the over throwing so cute mark rubio. ted cruz just is excited. thank come on, let's get behind it. guys are a joke. these guys are a joke. have been a joke. hope so that they think, you know, they're politicians, they survive off of this crap. the only thing that cubans in miami have been fed for the past 70 years is the promises in the whims of politicians. none of which you have made good on any of the promises, whether it's jimmy carter, fidel, i made one reagan. i mean you just go down the clinton probably all of them. they go to miami, stumped chest and says cooper, libra we will free cuba. none of them have none of them, none of them know how to and they've all essentially gotten there, but beat by the casto brockridge and the vitamin politicians don't even talk to me about politics. mentioned one kind of big and

host: talking about the importance of it, senator markey rovio, the republican -- marco rubio not keenbout this on an op-ed at the end last month. this is what he wrote about this expanded tax credit. for the next six months, the child tax credit claimed by working families every year at tax time to keep more of their hard earned money will be transferred -- transformed into an anti-work welfare check. parents will receive monthly payments of $300 per child under six and 254 ages seven to 17. some households with no working adults will receive more than $10,000 in these payments, no work required, just free money on top of america's existing safety net. your response to that? guest: i think the thing we are ignoring when we listen to arguments like that is that parents who have been bearing this on their back for many years, if you can imagine a family where the parents are making minimum wage, imagine the stress and struggle of trying to get their children what they need and what they want to be able to succeed in life and access opportunities and they cannot do the math, the numbers

we have a very important show for you, with two great guests, who are coming up senator marco rubio. homan, former acting i.c.e. director, but before our great guests there are hundreds of thousands of you, who are concerned about what is happening to this country. i want to rereport to you my book, "american marxism" was number one in the "new york times" best seller list, hard cope, number one ebook and hard copy. and canadian look list, it has out sold next 15 books nonfix combined. first week sales of 400,000. in all formats, 400,000 of you have taken the time to aquite ae the book, and want to know how to seat of country, i'm -- how on save the country, i'm with you, an aspect of the book, chapter 6, media, i wrote a book on media, called unfreedom of the press, this is different, it is important. a few exceptions if we had a media here, that were honest, and actually reporting news, we would not be in this situation we're in today with our classrooms and our borders. the democrat party is trying to monopolize our politics and crush all comers, how big tech is trying to silence

governor desantis, senator marco rubio and scott, congressman schulz, mayor, they have all cooperated in ways i have not seen in a long time. it is really a testament to how difficult things are down here. it is what, quite frankly, we miss a lot. we have all been working in tandem from the moment we got the news of the collapse of the building. i think my colleagues will tell you, we cut through the bureaucracy, the one order i gave, the federal folks, was no bureaucracy, just cut through and get to what they need. that is why we decided to cover 100% of the search-and-rescue costs for the first 30 days. that is necessary here, in my view. and fema is going to provide temporary housing and other urgent needs for the device -- survivors. state department are expediting visas for family members from other countries. latin america, south america, europe, israel. want to give a special shout out to first responders, the international association of firefighters, one of the best organizations in the country. i particularly want to thank the president that came down from boston, he is here

>> emily: a funko trump harold this alongside marco rubio. this is a huge expansion.rge expansion on welfare and united states history. we heard biden say that this is a tax credit. no, 74% of the people receiving it are paying $0 in income taxes. they're doubling down and contradicting biden and sang saying this eliminates a work requirement. they are eliminating joe biden told us. what i would say or ask, is this about the fact, caleigh appointed that all out, this is not paid for. we have wiped away the work requirement. how does that jive? this is debt on debts on debt and family to get this. >> kayleigh: at his death, on debt, on debt. on top of that we're any situation where we do not have workers to fill the job because of relief. on top of that, child tax credit is another reason to not go back to work. except it was her without work requirement, that is where we can into dangerous territory. we want whenever you hear the arguments, critics will say and people in the left will say, "you were heartless and you're not looking at all of the good that will do." i

host: this from man op-ed by senator marco rubio, we talked about how this program has been around, notn the format is now, but has been around since 1997. senator marco rubio writing, " for the next six months, the child tax credit claim to five families every year at tax time will be transformed into an anti-work welfare check. parents will receive monthly che cks -- payments of $300 per child under six and $250 per child age 7 to 17. by next tax season -- this is laura in troy, michigan on the line for those who make over $100,000 a year. caller: i would like to make a comment about senator rubio's comment right now. he was complaining about people getting $10,000, but were nonworking. i wonder how these people support themselves? as a former republican, i am absolutely appalled at the treatment we have been showing these hard-working americans, people that were not able to take time off to go to mexico on a little jaunt. i applaud the president. i think he is doing a grand job before and majority of the american populace. i am lucky enough to be making more than that amount. i have

florida republican senator marco rubio, whose parents were born on the island said the white house has to step up to the plate. >> this administration response has been lame pretty wish that half the passion they had against the republicans as they do against the tierney in cuba. kennedy: so, does the administration have a cojones to straighten out the tyrants custom request maintenance party panel it is a government we have townhall editor and katie pavlich author of a panic attack young radical, robby soave it is sexy bonnet was of democrat strategist former biting campaign surrogates kevin walling. yes,. >> hike kennedy. kennedy: from this administration there have a handle on anything special on cuba water using. >> there responses pretty pathetic. they're not calling this what it is sprayed the white house continues to say the cuban people are protesting because of covid it the economy has been mismanaged. they will not say the word communist for they will not call the regime communist. and they are doing nothing to try to reopen the internet open up back channels there so informa

you have advised prompt then the republicans like mitt romney, marco rubio. do you not see it as a liability. this is a very blue state, so i ask you this when we talk about other candidates. what is your path to victory here? >> well, i think the most important theines need to be able to share with people across the state what it is i who like to do, what my ideas are, some of the ways we can improve these public programs in my statement of the first part in terms of the pathway, if you will, is just to share my vision and ideas. i will say more broadly, i think the republican party has a lot of work to do what we have to figure out how do we make the party in california and focusing on california now. how do we make this more appealing to californiaians. how do we have a vision that's more inclusive that's broader, that brings together people who are concerned about where our state is headed. the only way we do it is through transparency and independence. i think it's important to share that vision over and over again, for people to hear it and for them to

marco rubio whose parents fled cuba is calling that ridiculous. >> this is not just about covid. this began well before covid. these people are frustrated and want to live in a normal country. why can't the state department and white house just say it clearly this is not about covid, this is not about anything else, this is about freedom. say it. >> harris: okay. so after the senator spoke obviously from a place of knowing, then a little bit later chung tweeted this. we stand by the cuban people's right for peaceful assembly. we call for calm and condemn in the violence. and what, talk about covid? t.k. mcfarland former deputy under president trump. your expertise is right on time today. let me start with this. why is there any sort of thought that this is different than what it actually is? people rising up against cruelty in a communist island nation and the fact they don't have enough food. >> look, this is a really significant uprising because it is spontaneous, nationwide in cuba. it is not just all about covid. although that's part of it. it is about 60 years of incompetent

marco rubio had a plan had e-the conservative think tanks had a plan. if you want to get rid of child hootd poverty, you give the families the money to think for their kids. the families ae police financially stressed. the kids can you just have this massive effect. i'm betraying my canadian roots, dand this years ago, massive effect. reduction of child poverty by 40%. very rarely do you get a social program that reduces poverty or has any effect that big. there are some republican talking points that will create again attendance an government, there is no evidence of that canada or australia or other places. people are not aging backwards because of this. they are not turning into children to get the benefit. even from a conservative view this is a fantastic program and in this 3.5 billion thing that he hopefully will build on whatever has already been passioned. and it should have, it did have until the town became so partisan, marco rubio mitt romney, in the same direction. >> woodruff: secretary yellen i asked her this question could it discourage s

senator, respond to that and they were going to go to a soundbite from marco rubio. >> i know marco rubios very outspoken against this. they are fighting to have rights and if the squad in aoc, they want to continue to stay silent on what is happening in cuba and back in the cuban people, then they can resign from congress and gobi activist for the democratic socialists of america, it is imperative that we stand with the cuban people just like we stood with the c hg kong freedom fighters and the people of china and their fight. elizabeth: in taiwan and representative same bernie sanders you should go to cuba to see firsthand the suffering under the communist dictatorship let's listen to marcoer rubio. >> i don't know why it's hard to criticize, i do think it is pretty clear there is people that aren't saying anything and the president took a whole day to say this, he left out the word marxist in communist, and socialisttu, what you describe e borders nature of the castro regime that's away every regime has ever been, because marxism and socialism is built on this you give us the power wil

where's marco rubio, where are the people constantly lecturing us about what history we're allowed to learn. why aren't they saying anything? >> you know, joy, a long time ago someone told me i'd rather see a sermon in a jay, then to hear one. so rubio can send out all of the bible verses that he wants to. we're looking at not what he says but what he does. we're talking about a man, as you've indicated, thank you for bringing up, who has not said one word to denounce white supremacist since he's been in office, by the way. we're talking about a man who voted against an independent commission that would investigate the insurrection that occurred on 1/6. so again, we know them by the fruits that they bear. rubio has not delivered. as you know, that is exactly why i am running, florida deserves better. >> let me read the statement from biden today -- [ reading ] we're seeing republicans trying to bury it but there's issues that are frightening. law enforcement demanding other law enforcement not follow orders. members of the military being involved. where would you start? if this was a

you have val demings running for the senate against marco rubio in florida. hawkish stance on florida, which she is taking. and that's been a problem for the democrats. florida is a swing state where a bunch of conservative people on cuba insist on a hawkish policy on cuba and your party has to go along with it. >> barack obama ran for president of the united states in 2008 promising to engage in direct diplomacy with cuba. including raul castro. he took steps to relax the embargo in his first term and opened things up in the second. the only democrat who has won florida in recent years is barack obama. he won florida twice. because he offered a real contrast. the way to defeat hard-line politics is not to be hard-line light. if they want the real deal, why don't they vote for the hard-liners here. if you look at the democratic party in 2016, hillary clinton ran on lifting the embargo. that's where we were at the end of the obama years. it's donald trump who invested a lot of time and a lot of effort and money into florida to shift things in a more hard-line

keep in mind, as marco rubio tweeted out expecting the internet to go down.would be good to know there could be ramifications if they did this. plus, china's presence is there as well ass russian presence is there cuba is all over venezuela and they are propping up that government this could be a chance to really pull out of a plantar's wart in the caribbean. ainsley: bernie sanders is getting slammed for staying silent on this. remember last year when anderson cooper was interviewing him he praised fidel castro the dictator saying he educated our kids gavenned and gave them healthcare and transformed the politic race program. steve: on twitter there is a clip where protesters overturn a police car in another video who shows looting from a government run store which sells wildly overpriced items and concern sis most people on the streets of cuba do not have. meanwhile, the "new york times" yesterday tweeted this out regarding what the protesters were shouting. shouting freedom and other antigovernment slogans. so freedom is an anti government slogan? hundreds

it's against the government. >> i'm pretty sure that marco rubio is screaming about critical race theoryth the dictatorship in cuba. one of the last things i want to point out here, very quickly, black lives matter has asked for the embargo against cuba to be stopped. there are many organizations in the united states that say we are part of the problem. is the united states responsible for this uprising? is this really some outside thing, quickly, or is this really an indigenous movement. >> let me say two things, jason, one, the united states is the number one exporter of meat to cuba. all right. they spend $100 million in buying chicken. another thing, black lives matter could not exist in cuba. they're jou outlawed. we had an extended conversation on my podcast, she's a fantastic guest. that's tonight's "the reidout," "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in." >> we don't swear an oath of allegiance to an individual, a king, a queen, a president or anything else. >> the evidence in plain sight that the united states military was preparing to prevent a trump c

marco rubio says the statement from blm is outrageous and his office is ready to help the group move to cuba. >> they're charltons, a fraud. the only reason i care about them they continue to shake down corporations. >> meantime senator says restoring internet access in cuba is crucial to helping the cuban people. he has spoken to the white house on this subject. >> bill: fox news alert again. massive amount of drugs pouring over our southern border. this is ridiculous. now an update on the devastating toll it is taking on our children. >> new reporting governor andrew cuomo is about to face off with investigators probing a number of misconduct allegations against him. and there's this. >> that as than in aacp saying those who disagree with critical race theory should die. newday can loan you all of it! the newday100 va cash out loan. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're

rachel: marco rubio, son of immigrants. i want to get right to it. happened yet? >> this is not a priority for the biden white house and there's two reasons for it. one is because there are people in the state department and others who are arguing, look, let's not have any instability in cuba right now. we don't need to regime to fall because we don't want another crisis to deal with. that's the best case. at worst, you have people that are flat-out sympathizers. members of congress for years have traveled with havana and met with officials and they have people in the white house, at the national security council and state department, in the state department who are some of the biggest proponents of engagement with the regime and biggest supporters and some helped craft the obama deal with the cuban regime and people in the democratic party, marxists, there are marxists in terms of people that knock on doors, the people that raise all the small dollar donors and so forth, so that creates a huge division internally. they want this thing to go away and

will you support marco rubio again in the senate?florida to do? >> tiffany, i'm not in the business of endorsing or supporting candidates. i'm in the business these days of telling the truth on television and analyzing objectively what's happening in our politics. and what i would say, to any republican politician, who is trying to have it both ways, to get the president's support, but also to distance themselves from his lies and his dishonesty, that's very difficult. i would say that that's probably impossible, because this is a man, donald trump, who demands absolute loyalty. if he is going to lie, if he is going to do something wrong, he expects you to endorse that, to follow him no matter what. so i think that the sooner, again, that republicans can level with their voters, with their supporters and tell them the truth about everything that has happened, not just with the 2020 election, but during the four years of the trump presidency, the better it will be for the party and for the country. i remind everyone, we only have two

marco rubio calls me, and senator scott texts me almost every day and asks me what i need.e've had our united states representatives, debbie wasserman schultz, who has been fabulous, as have all of our state-elected officials, but the governor has been especially engaged. he has been here almost every day. i know he flies down from north florida. he talks to us. he tells us what his concerns are. as a matter of fact, i owe the governor a debt of gratitude because with his help, we were able to provide information to the mayor of dade county that she needed in order to get this demolition going sooner than later. i know she was getting lots of information, lots of conflict conflicting information, but from the very beginning, the governor and i urged her to knock this building down as soon as possible. the building has been a problem since the very beginning, and we need to eliminate all of the barriers to getting everybody out there. once this building is down, it will be a green light, full-speed ahead, and maximum effort to pull the victims out and reunite them with their

last night, as you mentioned sean hannity brought his show down, governor desantis, marco rubio, and got together in the case of salazar and rubio they have cuban heritage. this is personal. listen. >> let's get real here. let's understand hot people are that are on the right side of freedom. let's stabbed with them and let's tighten the screws on this regime. one of the reasons this is happening now is because trump turned the screws on the regime in havana and in venezuela. biden wants to liberalize all of that. >> cuba is a failure pause socialism doesn't work. marxism doesn't work. marxism is about power. nothing to do with prosperity. it's about controlling people. marxist system wants to keep people poor because poor people are easier to control. >> he's not paying attention to those people screaming on the streets of it havana libertad. we want vaccines or food. they are saying we want freedom put internet back on do everything they can to make cuba stays totalitarian nation we're. if we sit back, just know they are not. be smart about it, don't go from and say this is what we

i mean, when marco rubio comes out and talks about, you know, cuba, he, i have to believe he's talking about his own political standing in florida. voters in florida and on and on in. and then, you know, of course, you know, it's all about socialism and socialism. michael, the one word that begins with s is never mentioned in this debate and it's about sovereignty. cuba has sovereignty. if you look at the, the rhetoric, it's never even considered. but cuba has sovereignty and, and i know you and i are ideologically aligned on many, many things. but i think that, you know, the issue of cuban sovereignty has to be taken to account. and if you do that, then there's a lot of other hard discussions we need to have. go ahead. my friend michael in new york, am i watching? excuse me. the sovereign issue that you take up presupposes that the cuban people embrace the government. they have kennedy called it in prison, the island, and i think it's a fairly accurate description. this is people go on wraps and try and swim away from the island. they don't do that in places that they embrace as, as t

senator marco rubio asked the white house to provide reliable internet to the island nation using high-altitudemunication system out of the government's control. desantis wants to let technology like that used after hurricane maria. president biden said they are looking into if the us has the capability. >> the lack of internet access is a huge issue in cuba that is very challenging for the people of cuba who are looking at that to see what can be done to address. >> reporter: president biden said his administration is considering sending vaccines to cuba but only if they can be assured the distribution would be fair. carley: thank you. todd: flight or flight. a flight to bring democrat coworkers home after the group fled to dc to avoid voting on election integrity bill. writing, quote, i'm demanding all our colleagues in dc to contact my staff immediately to secure their seat on the plane and return to austin to do the state's business. the state of texas is waiting, democrats met with kirsten gillibrand and richard blumenthal yesterday. the lawmakers writing on twitter we refuse to go back. >

stronger stance because what is happening in cuba if any politicians are talking about it other than marco rubioease be nicer and listen a little more, they need to be gone. we cannot have a government -- our government -- we are friends, we are buddies. todd: please don't attack these 16 vital hubs or similar. carley: thank you for joining us, appreciate it. todd: a fuel tanker erupting into flames crashing to a median on a michigan highway, 14,000 gallons of gasoline, firefighters worked to put out those flames, the tanker truck driver with minor injuries, engineers investigating the damage. >> lawyers for the illegal immigrant convicted of killing molly to bits calling for a new trial. they say two informants who do not know each other have come forward identifying the same man as the, quote, real killer. one of the importance has been dismissed as not credible. the others, this prison inmate reportedly claimed he heard the killer confess behind bars. he will testify at the sentencing tomorrow. rivera is expected to receive a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. >> chica

host: when talking about the idea of providing tax credits, senator marco rubio wrote a piece for theational review. he supported the idea of supporting those during the pandemic, particularly families but he wrote a couple of statements i'd like a response to preeti said it's not for families to have cash payments without ensuring at least one parent has a job or a path to getting one because to make the family reliant on those cash benefits. and to remove incentive -- it's not profamily to remove incentive to marry. it's not profamily to provide direct cash payments without ensuring -- and that it's not profamily to provide direct cash payments to single-parent without ensuring that child-support or -- child-support orders are established. what do you think about that? guest: i think we have to make it as easy as possible for workers to access the support that they need. to be able to enter the workforce and to stay in the workforce. it is outrageous that 2.5 million women have left the workforce because we don't have a care infrastructure in place. when people leave, there's so muc
