let's start with republican senator marco rubio of florida or little marco as trump repeatedly called as he wiped the floor with him during the republican presidential primary in 2016. rubio may now enjoy a second act as trump's new secretary of state and then there's trump's pick for director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, the one-time surrogate for bernie sanders who lost the democratic nomination for president in 2020. don't forget rfk jr. who ran against trump this year as an independent candidate but dropped out prior to the election and is now trump's choice for secretary of health and human services. it's not just people who tried to compete with trump for the white house and failed. trump has also welcomed figures into the fold who lost key races for the republican party. mehmet oz tapped to be head of medicare and medicaid lost two years ago the senate race to john fetterman. linda mcmahon lost to senate bids to democrats in connecticut in 2010 and 2012. lori chavez-deremer who just lost reelection campaign for a congressional seat in oregon to democrat janelle bynu

i am a florida person and i have covered marco rubio since 2003. more than 20 years. marco rubio will occupy a unique position in that he is the first cuban-american secretary of state, bilingual, he was basically that effective secretary of state for the western hemisphere under trump when he was still in the senate. how he executes the trump policy regarding only latin america but the middle east and assad will be a fascinating thing to watch for guys like me who have covered him or a while. his nomination should probably sail right through the senate. host: is this a position marco rubio wanted? how long you think you thought about this post? guest: he definitely wanted to be president in 2016. out of all of the positions in the trump white house that marco rubio would leave the senate for , secretary of state was up there. i think he might've gotten cia director. he is on the intelligence committees and that cloak and dagger stuff deeply fascinates him and he has a very thorough background and knowledge of. host: what are you writing about this week at the bulwark

you could hear from marco rubio. >> from national to local news, everyone was taking in what we had heardrubio joining the forces he claimed to condemn and not saying a word about the lawless vow to pardon the people who attacked the police. i wanted to put that on record with some time, so we could remember how they sounded. we have more coming up tonight at a time where we hear about autocratic efforts to stifle dissent. we will look at dissent and power and how people stand up to putin when we come back. en we c. vicks vapostick provides soothing non-medicated vicks vapors. easy to apply for the whole family. vicks vapostick. and try new vaposhower max for steamy vicks vapors.

let's start with republican senator marco rubio of florida or little marco which trump called him as he wiped the floor with him back in 2016. rubio may not enjoy a second act as trump's new secretary of state. then there's trump's pick for director of national intelligence gabbert. the one time surrogate for bernie sanders who won the presidential nomination in 2020. don't forget rfk jr. who ran against trump in this year's election for an independent candidate but dropped out prior to the election. the vaccine activist is now trump's pick for the head of health and human services. trump has welcomed figures into the fold who have lost key races for the republican party. dr. oz to top the health care. mcmann the secretary of education. she lost two bids in 2010 and 2012. lori chavez dorimer she had already lost two times to bynum prior to that loss. it might seem a little odd for trump to be choosing so many political losers until we remember who we're actually dealing with here. trump has repeatedly said that the biggest mistake of his first term was choosing the wrong people. in ot

i've always been proud to work for marco rubio. came to america from cuba in the 1950s. his father a bartender as anor inmate they provide an amazing example to their children about the importance of hard work and family and develop the belief that all things are possible in america. marco rubio was first elected to the united states senate in 2010 and reelected for a second term in 2016. i have seen and serve as a chip in for oppressed people worldwide, work a bit of struggle american families and still make sure that florida's beaches, point grows in space industry are protected. moderating to nice conversation will be mo elleithee, executive director of georgetown university institute of politics and public service. previously, mo was a comedic agents directed at the democratic national committee and involved in presidential statewide and local campaigns. he is currently a fox news contributor and in 1994 graduate of georgetown university. ladies and gentlemen, the nights conversation brought to you by gu politics, cosponsored by

you don't hear that with marco rubio. but i don't hear anybody saying in either partner -- party actually that marco rubio is not qualified to be secretary of state. there was talk if hegseth went, they would replace with governor desantis. i think he would go through a nomination process. he has run a big organization called florida, he is a veteran, he has experience, he doesn't have these deep personal problems that hegseth has. there is a world of people in foreign policy, that could be national intelligence director, who have experience in it. who aren't -- the reason you know tober -- tulsi gabbard is because she has these nutty views. and trump did this because -- this is her reward, same with rfk. you put someone in charge who's not anti-polio vaccine -- put them in charge of our health. that person is going to get confirmed. so i don't think that this is an effort to stop trump. i think it is an effort to stop really bad choices that are dangerous for america. >> you raise a good point, but part of why we have he

he floated he may run for marco rubio c. i don't know if that's a real thing. is there anything in florida law that prevents someone like him from becoming the next senator from florida? i don't think there is but i wanted to ask the question. >> he is not a convicted felon. he is able to run for office. he being matt gaetz. speaking on behalf of sane floridians, we don't want him. there's no such thing as a shame spiral for matt gaetz because there's nowhere left for him to go. i appreciate representative jasmine crockett's point about the gravity of the offenses. they run from drug offenses and its not just marijuana but cocaine and ecstasy being alleged but you have this statutory rape elephants which when you look at the facts that are set forth in the ethics committee report, it's profoundly revolting to think that matt gaetz wants to say he did not know that victim a as she is identified was 17 years old when he had sex with her but oh, no, when she was not 17 anymore he had sex with her and again and he paid her. the problem that peels away from this is,

so you really go ask yourself how com, marco rubio, and the big on of you are suddenly best mates. i wonder how maybe it's because marco is, you know, one of the free cubans, you know, you gotta take a few bucks and give a few jobs to the different to, you know, ethnic groups. but it's probably more to do with our friends out until the vs. deal the, the most democratic country in the middle east, the most, you main army in the world. uh, yes, these varies. so i guess the glue that's holding together this new power couple must be very powerful. most of the big, strong ethnic group and powerful of banking, media, industry cheese. i just kind of think who could be ok, any of this, we're going to kill me if i say, i'll say they both loved designers and i'm more than happy to stand back and let them put the boot into the portal. apollo stance on the video from your call for the phone interview or you tell me what you guys to get this. i wanted to destroy every element from us, so you can get their hands on. these people are vicious animals who did horrifying crimes. and i hope you guys p

your reference marco rubio is the incoming secretary of state.n on ukraine is diametrically opposed to this administration's view. how does that navigate? real quick? it is a big question and i need a very short answer but that is going to be the very interesting early tension and sort of thing what direction this administration takes next on ukraine. >> marco rubio will take direction from donald trump. i think he will express his concerns in the white house room. i am sure there will be animated discussions but i think there will be a deal with putin over ukraine and i think whatever deal will be advantages to ukraine as possible. >> director brennan, we love you. you must come back. it is crazy out here in the international streets because the reality is that vladimir putin just rolled up and said we are taking it and if we can do that, i don't know what kind of world we are living in. john brennan, i appreciate your time. >>> up next, representative debbie wasserman schultz is here, former secretary, donna should layla is here, marilyn davis

michael needham, former chief of staff for senator marco rubio, as the counselor of the state departmentmichael anton, former national security council spokesman, will serve as director of policy planning. all three would serve under trump's nomination for secretary of state marco rubio, and that would vacate a senate seat in florida. lara trump has been floated for that job. >> she has indeed. all right. thanks very much. check futures please. it's monday morning, 13 or 20 odd minutes to go before we get to the opening bell. dow down 40. nasdaq. i'm sorry. dow. dow down. up 40. nasdaq is down 38. not much change jacob sonenshine joins me this morning. jacob. can you see anything on the horizon that would really kill this rally? >> no. not really. i think for the rest of december, we've broken out to new highs. i said this a few days ago. right. so i think the santa rally is on into next year. the main catalyst from a macro standpoint, in terms of the broader market trading as one, are going to be the types of policies that we get from the trump administration. the thing into 2025 that i

. >> and then you add to that marco rubio secretary of state, how incredible and then really thrilled with elise stefanik as the u.n. ambassador, and mike waltz security advisor. a team is coming in place that understands peace through strength. the rebels and northwest syria, we think of them, they have an islamist character to them and there's a kind of knee-jerk assumption they will be hostile to israel. i think it's pretty clear they have recognized israel's distraction or near destruction unless a israel's victories over hezbollah have really opened up an opportunity for them. >> professor, your head of the curve 50 would think islamic jihadists are coming into aleppo. we will have to look further, a lot further and it really opens up an opportunity indeed because of hezbollah, the defeat of hamas and i am of the belief that these are puppets of iran, not proxies of iran. they're not acting in place of iran. they are iran. it is the octopus of iran. that's where this center of people is located in the middle east. by the defeat of hezbollah's so significant and all the leadership

he's not buy the damn sure >> we continue with florida senator marco rubio, nominated to serve as the next secretary of state. setor rubio was first elected in 2010 and currently serves as the top republican on the senate inteigence committee. in 2016, he ran for president but losthe republican nomination to donald trump. next, senator rubio speaking in 2015 about his book "american dreams" that documented despair -- parents immigration to the u.s., his upbringing in florida, and what he called faltering opportunities for working and middle-class families. [applause] thank you for coming in and proud to be allowed any other incident miami-dade which is for most of the american lots of owning a home but also by certain difficult backgrounds to do what your parents did before you. that thing that millions of people in this country >> i am the only one they get heckled by both sides of the immigration debate. amazing. we will wait for them to finish, then continue talking about the book. we will just wait for them to finish, then talk about the book. i apologize, folks. that is all right

marco rubio said as bad of things about donald trump as ron desantis did, and so did jd vance. and jd vance got picked as his vp. he crawled back, got takes, and marco rubio is a nominee for secretary of state who is likely to get bipartisan support and probably should get bipartisan support in this nomination process. so i just think this shows donald trump is taking the wrong message from election day. i actually think he is taking the wrong message from election day. donald trump in his own mind thinks it was a mandate when he won by less than, if you switch, three quarters of a percent of the, he would've lost. and if you switched 7000 voters in the united states and the house of representatives, the democratic would be in control of the house. i think this is another example. and i think democrats are taking the wrong message from this election and what happened in the course of this. i don't think the voters out there who gave trump the win, the small amount of voters out there, thought this was what they were getting. i think what i thought they were going to get was com

huckabee, how incredible for him to be there with marco rubio. we have such an opportunity to create stabilization and to me that is what is so beneficial to our gulf allies and i really appreciate the first time i was able to visit and i -- to visit qatar. before i got there, i had the impression that people in the middle east wanted to live in the 14th century. i found out, no, they don't. the forest of 50 and 60-story highrises give it away right away. i explained back home that people in the middle east wants -- it looks like hilton head on steroids and so, so that's -- the stabilization. but we've got to address the issue of iran and we've got -- hey, there's been no greater example of a -- tragically, a bizarre disagreement than in the last month with the objects 1 missile attacks from teheran, the current president said oh, don't go against the iranian nuclear capability. oh, don't go against the iranian -- >> the restrictions president biden was putten on the israelis, you moo en? >> restriction after restriction and donald trump said thi

marco rubio. not necessarily shared with the incoming president who huddled with tiktok ceo shou chew at mar-a-lago yesterday. >> we'll take a look at tiktok, i have a warm spot for tiktok, i won youth by 34 points and there are those that say tiktok had something to do with it, had an impact. we're taking a look at it. we won youth. republicans are always 30 points down. >> peter: tiktok's parent company must sell tiktok by january 19th. trump can issue a one-time delay of the sale january 20. policy makers he's hiring want it sold. x owner elon musk would stand to benefit financially by a competitor tiktok disappearing from the u.s. market. musk's doge group will meet today on capitol hill. >> we are working on trying to separate the pile of government waste, what can executive branch do on their own by declaring agencies need to be more efficient. we have to have legislation so we know what is our job and twha is their job. >> peter: congressman sparts, is so moved by doge, that is all she want

and it's going to go beyond marco rubio. for dni and that's a scary thought in many ways because the rest of the world needs to trust her with their intel and i don't think they're there yet. >> a fairly unknown quantity. reflect first of all on what we are saying, the word on the ground in terms of the new administration, what they expect compared to the first administration, not a lot of progress. do they expect more this time around? second part of my question, i did mention israel's defense minister confirming assassination of the leader in iran. military and intelligence agency claiming successes. now he is saying houthis and yemen are next. put those together if you can. i know those are two big buckets. >> just starting with the incoming trump administration i will say trump created a sense of urgency in the middle east that president biden has not been able to for sometime. i think part of that is it is much more difficult for prime minister netanyahu to say no to trump in a way he has continued to defy biden adminis

there was one option on the table and that suggests she could replace florida senator marco rubio. w rubio expected to be the next secretary of state in the new administration, some trump allies are backing her for the job with elon musk and elon musk's mom posting their support on twitters. that was seen on x over the weekend. there is this now. >> ultimately this comes down. deterrence come down. we have no deterrence whether he fears us. >> chinese hackers behind a sweeping espionage operation and lawmakers want to know why it wasn't stopped in the first place. >> dana: who is flying drones in the skies above new jersey? and why are officials unable to crack this mystery? >> bill: major story in the middle east. rebel forces in syria toppled the president and taking damascus. general jack keane on what comes next. >> there is probably less danger right now than there was before because what you see are the iranians, lebanese hezbollah and russians are all on their back heels now as a result of what has happened in syria.

determining who is most loyal to him and who he wants to promote for several months way before marco rubioas discussed as a possible secretary of state because months ago rubio was suggested as a possible vice presidential and that it with trump. desantis has been taking which of my allies will i promote to the senate spot? i get it to out of it because i get to fill the spot that person vacates so even though donald trump was in favor of this, in the last few days saying is not sure what desantis will do and it's up to him, our reporter alex has a story about all this. >> fiscal year 2024 december, 300,000 encounters, roughly 11 million illegal migrants in this country according to the home and security committee, what you think the president will do about this, the president-elect and how far can i go? suggestions of cartels, terrorist organizations, like israel did to hamas and hezbollah, it's a threat critics say should be taken apart now. >> the vast portion of immigrants here undocumented illegally in the united states and cartels, the people escaping civil unrest in their own countr

marco rubio, pam bondi and john lee ratcliffe had 11 nominee quit because he did not have the votes.ther are making real progress while work may remain for others. where is the line between acquiescence, what are nominees entitled to where is the line between good enough and not qualify. joining us the incoming senate budget chair lindsey graham for the great state of south carolina. where is the line between showing deference to a president and acquiescence and rolling over with to know betty where is the line. >> wherever any senator wants to draw the line. constitutionally there is no partisanship but the honest answer is up to every senator. the constitution is not a partisan document as you know. it requires the senate to give advice and consent, here's the line for lindsey graham. i presume to support cabinet picks by every president not just democrat and republican presidents but every president unless i have a good reason not to. i look at qualifications. if you look at my record i vote for almost everybody because i don't like whether or not i would've picked this person is

marco rubio is a nominee likely to get bipartisan support and probably should get a partisan support in this nomination process. so, i just think this shows donald trump is taking the wrong message from election day. i think he is taking the wrong message from election day for donald trump in his own mind thinks it was a mandate when he won-- three quarters of a percent of a vote, 100,000 voters, he would have lost, and if you would have switched 7000 democrats are being controlled the house, and i think this is another example, and i actually think democrats are taking the wrong message from this whole election and what happened in the course of this. i don't think the voters up there who gave trump the win, the small amount of voters up there thought this is what they were getting. i think they thought they were going to get competent people who would know how to run the government and provide them services they need, that they would simultaneously do something about inflation and do something about the border. and so, i think donald trump in his hurry to pack his cabinet with thes

you look at marco rubio, he's known up here. the individuals that are -- they're just not, the senators are not acinar with them. i've got a unique seat here but the rest of it is just that process. we take oversight very serious in the senate. if there's one thing that we actually do and do well is the oversight and i think every senator is taking that responsibility like they should extremely seriously. >> along those lines, i do want to ask about background checks. there was a period of time where it wasn't clear if those were going to happen or not. what happened, what changed? >> well, i don't -- i don't think there was ever a question if it was going to happen. one thing that we wanted to know is can the process be done in a timely manner, what we didn't want is the fbi to drag their feet on this as we've had issues with the fbi politically speaking and we didn't want them to drag their feet and make this a long drawed out process for the fbi checks to come through and so what we said, all right, we will give you an opport

a new poll found that marco rubio, tulsi gabbard, and rfk jr. are viewed with approval by only 4 in 10 americans. those four? marco rubio, tulsi gabbard, rfk jr, and the brain worm. that's not even the worst of it. only 3 in 10 americans have favorable views of pete hegseth, matt gaetz, and kristi noem. meaning they poll slightly below "that thing where you bite the inside of your cheek and then it forms a lump so you keep biting it all day by accident." trump may have to give up on matt gaetz, but he'll never give up on his true passion: grifting. because, even though he is about to, once again, become the most powerful person on the planet, he is also hawking "limited edition" signed maga guitars for $10,000. if you purchase one of these guitars, you are divorced. and if you say, "actually, steve, i'm not divorced," well, go tell your spouse you just blew 10 grand on a trump guitar. then call me back. the former president posted: "coming soon! the limited edition "45" guitar. only 1,300 of each acoustic and electric guitars made, some personal

it'll be awkward conversation on television, but it won't be awkward for marco rubio. and i think one of the what is getting in line mean you think, just forget about everything. >> forget about the uyghurs. yes, absolutely. >> yes. and look, people, i think forget when you get outside of washington and new york, people love elon musk because what he does with these rockets, and then they land exactly where they're supposed to, and they see these incredible star trek star wars things happening in front of their eyes that we can all watch. you know, it makes him somewhat heroic. the challenge becomes then when you sort of merge that with government, where real questions exist and should exist. but for most voters, they're not looking at those secondary. >> i think people love elon musk until he starts talking and then you realize like, how strange some of the americans have never heard elon musk. well, i think they're seeing him on twitter now since he paid $44 billion for that. i think it's interesting that we talk about the business interests of elon musk, but we don'

he floated himself for marco rubio's senate seat that he's expected to vacate if he's confirmed into the incoming trump administration. a lot of the contours of this report, we had heard rumors and allegations of. but to see them in print, they're pretty they say they found substantial evidence of him sleeping with a 17 year old of him, you know, going to these parties where women had been sort of recruited by one of his associates on seeking arrangements. com where, at the very least, women were expected to be paid for companionship, but in other cases for sex. and so i think that you're seeing gaetz already online trying to do some damage control. he's tweeting and trying to undermine what the committee found, and also just claimed that it was weaponized against him. gaetz told me when i asked for his response this morning, these claims would be destroyed in court, which is why they were never made in any court against me. so i think you're just going to be seeing the beginning of this fight publicly and to that point. >> and you referenced something that i wanted to play, which wa

marco rubio, senate seat, and the two have discussed that. i've been told now the degree to which that discussion has been real and whether there's an actual trade. not very clear there are denials. there's a trade, but it's difficult to see how these two guys are going to talk about desantis coming into the cabinet, where another cabinet member has just vacated a senate seat. marco rubio and the president elect's daughter in law wants the seat. so it's certainly come up and there's been chatter about it. that's what trump gets out of it. perhaps he gets more than desantis does. >> and just one final question on this before i move back to rfk. but is there anyone within trump world who might stand in the way of trying to bring ron desantis into the fold because of bad blood anyone's names who might rhyme with. you know, schmooze and wiles i don't really put a lot of stock in the internet chatter that susie wiles is so concerned. >> certainly they had a falling out. and just to be very clear, susie wiles was wronged by ron desantis, who got ri

we also have marco rubio, and rubio, you know, is of cuban origin. i won't say bull varian abbitions but he sees himself as a big player. >> and a future president. >> and a future president. he's going to try to sort of end maduro in venezuela. i suspect he'll want a maximum pressure thing. trump will decide and rubio will agree vigorousry with whatever trump says. >> he seems to admire maduro, and he keeps on saying the lowest crime rate in the world is venezuela. yet, a lot of the people he would like to very quickly deport, including in new york, are venezuelan. so he said that venezuela is a target in terms of people here in this country so he's negative toward venezuelans. but he seems to like the leadership. >> i think maduro in ump's version, what trump would like to do, enter the asylums and lead them to claim asylum. i think he confuses asylums quite a bit and mment the country of murders and gangs, and then they turn up in aurora, colorado, which is where he's going to focus the first wave of deportation, places like that. >> let's talk ab

back to latin american countries a lot of diplomacy that's going to be had between these countries marco rubiof the different ambassadors going into latin america and other country where is they're thinking about sending people back to. this is going to be an unprecedented move. a little bit of a -- note i'm going to be interviewing the president of the dominican republic in the very coming week actually. and they have -- and for "fox & friends" get a piece on that. they are doing nasty flirtations back to haiti so we're going to talk about what that looks like for them and what lessons we can learn as we embark at it. boy wasn't it reassuring to see that tom homan thinking deeply and thoroughly about how they're going to make this process work. >> i agree with that. now there's something else i want to talk about and you've heard about this going dumb -- this christmas instead of buying your family more smart phones. how many smart phones do you have in your family imght to know -- >> well -- rachel: anyone not driving doesn't have one. >> that's great parenting but a lot of people say listen

some nominees like marco rubio, marco rubio, elise stefanik, john ratcliffe received universal praise and likely sailed through the confirmation, buant will they get any support from theot other side?on do some nominees have more work to be down to get over the finish line? joining us soon to be brand-new senator from the great state of montana, senator elect she. congratulations to you and how will you approach your meetings with nominees and what do you want to hear from them? >> we've had excellent meetings, and they've been fantastic but the mosthave important thing the people focused on reform and focused on when we've had business as usual, cabinet secretaries focused on thereau status quo. keep growing bureaucracy and adding more money to the national budget every year. to most powerful force in american government's inertia and just keeps moving. to the most important characteristic i'mness looking t is the willingness and ability to disrupt and change how we do business because we have to make the american government work again for the american people. speedway that's you and

you look at marco rubio, that he's not appear in this new issue really going on there. if these individuals that they're just not as come the senators were not asked my with them. i have been fortunate that most of these nominations i know and know these individuals well so i feel like i've got a unique seat here. but the rest of it is just that process. we take oversight very serious in the senate. t thing we actually do and do well is the oversight side of it.t every senator is taking a responsibility likee they should extremely serious. >> along those lines i do want to ask about the background checks. there was a time where it was unclear if those what happened or not. what happened, what change? >> i don't, i don't think there's ever question it was going to happen. one thing that we want to is in the process be done in a timely manner? what we did and what is the fbi to drag their feet on this, as we said issues with the fbi politically speaking, and we didn't want them to drag their feet and make this a long drawn outfb process for the fbi checks to come through.

quizÁ me presente al escaÑo vacante de marcos rubio en el senado afirmÓ en arizona. >> me parece quero la persona con la que sales no es prostituciÓn. ya no es congresista pero el comitÉ decidiÓ publicar su investigaciÓn y hay una posibilidad de que haya violado la ley de florida por haber tenido relaciones sexuales con una menor . >> el comitÉ ha hecho una investigaciÓn extensiva y ahora abre las puertas para posibles cargos criminales en el estado de la florida. sabemos que el departamento de justicia el pasado decidiÓ no presentar cargos porque no habÍa evidencia de un delito federal. pero este reporte abre informaciÓn para posibles delitos estatales. >> este escÁndalo obligÓ a kate a renunciar a su candidatura para ser fiscal general. >> el presidente biden con moto las sentencias de 37 reos transformando sus penas de ejecuciÓn en cadena perpetua, sin posibilidad de libertad condicional. entre los beneficiados se encuentran cinco latinos, entre ellos edgar baltasar garcÍa, ricardo sÁnchez junior, alejandro enrique ramÍrez umaÑa, jorge Ávila torres y daniel troya. tres rÍos o no r

maybe i'll just run for marco rubio's vacant seat in the united states senate and join some of those folks. >> well, jonathan, i guess that's possible. the second possibility, does he show up in early january and get sworn in with the 119th. is that possible too? >> he said he won't do that. you know, he basically signed a resignation letter and said he wouldn't do that. on the other hand, i don't think there's anything preventing him from doing it except that now that the ethics committee report is out there, he would face potential punishment from the house up to and including expulsion. so, you know, i don't know what matt gaetz wants to do. mostly he wants to be at the center of attention, and he'll continue to try to do that in whatever way he can. i think that president-elect trump dodged a major headache here in terms of the se senators understanding what was deciding matt gaetz should not be under any circumstances the person in charge of law enforcement in the united states. >> julia, this 5:00 p.m. deadline, anything to it? and what is next with this? or is this the end of
