what has changed, it seems, is you, marco rubio, because senator rubio is now secretary rubio in theond trump administration. and what he claimed to believe for years is completely at odds with the administration's current posture. it's not clear whether he even cares. i mean, i can't read his mind, obviously, but maybe he's given up on america as a leader on the global stage. maybe he's given up on opposing authoritarian regimes, given up on democracy and defending alliances like nato. but if secretary rubio does still believe even just one iota of what he said as a senator over the many years, that has good reason to feel uncomfortable right now. and if he does still believe in any of those principles, begs the question of what he's doing in this administration in the first place. senator mark kelly served with marco rubio on the intelligence committee. he met with president zelensky this with president zelensky this week, and he joins me next. ♪ (male vo) big.

let's hope we can ask secretary rubio. i'm not sure. after today. >> uh, you don't believe that this can be. you're not sure that this can be salvaged? i mean, can this relationship between zelenskyy and trump be repaired, in your view? >> i think anything is possible, but it has to go back to the point that president trump is interested in being involved in this for the purpose of bringing about an enduring and lasting peace. that's what he wants to achieve. and i think if i'm a country that's involved in a war with a bigger country who's losing thousands of people who had 3 million people leave my country because they can't be there, who, you know is facing these challenges. i would be thanking a president who is trying to help bring about an end to this war. i would be thanking him, and i would be supportive of what he's trying to do, at least in my public pronouncements and in my public posture. and we didn't see that today, and we haven't seen that for the last few days. now, will that change? i hope so. it should for for the for t

and as marco rubio just said, the president doesn't want a deal that falls apart in a year. then you need to have a security guarantee, tbd, to be defined. yeah, you do, because. >> you don't you don't, you don't. >> will you at some point come back? you need something. >> beth i think that that zelenskyy needs to understand the theory of gradual incrementalism. let's get. no, no, let's get something started. the investment by the u.s. in the rare minerals is going to have a tremendous amount of security that comes with it by default. >> it's just. >> it doesn't matter if you're in nato, it doesn't matter if you have article five. the fact that we're going to have thousands of people there and billions of dollars at stake at that point, putin knows he's attacking the united states if he tries another one. >> that was a question i had to to trump before this blow up happened, about what happens in the russian occupied areas. and he was saying, we'll have to see what happens, obviously, about those russian forces being forced to leave. we'll have to see what happens with these

you just heard secretary rubio there. your response? >> my response is that we need a very radical reset as you say in the caption behind you, and the reset has to consist of the united states and ukraine getting back on the same page, and president zelenskyy giving his unequivocal backing to the initiative that president trump is taking to end the war and to bring a just and lasting peace to ukraine, and the europeans, george, too. they need to back the cause for a ceasefire, and by the way, i think that ukraine should be the first to commit to a ceasefire and defy the russians to follow, and then as part of the unfolding plan for this negotiation, the europeans and perhaps some other countries too, have got to consider how they are going to put forces on the ground to play their part in providing enduring security and deterrence for ukraine. now that's the reset that we are looking for. that's what the british prime minister is working for in his meeting in london today. >> george: has there been any progress? i know the meetings are

and by the way, this is the rubio was silent. i mean, he's irrelevant since he's not played. but jd vance, you know, has a great ability. give him credit lying but with a straight face, insulting people with a straight face. i saw it in munich security conference. it's the largest conference in the world. and the united states vice president looked into the eyes of the european leaders and basically told them, you're a bunch of losers and suckers and you're irrelevant. and the next he did, he went to meet the leader of the neo-nazi party in germany, ignoring chancellor and other political parties. and then, of course, we know that they are supporting practically every far right neo-nazi group group in europe, namely romania. it is something that is not probably is properly described here. but the guy was running in romania, he's a nazi. he's not hiding it and supported by russian money and of course supported by elon musk and jd vance, concerned about the will of the people. yeah. so it's, you know, during the campaign, presidential campaign, you know, they were complaints ab

>> well, secretary rubio. now, secretary rubio had a unanimous vote in the united states senate. and i do regret it because when he was a senator, marco rubio was somebody who i didn't always agree with, but he did stand up for the principles and values that have underlined u.s. foreign policy for decades. the idea of a rules based system, the idea that we will promote freedom and democracy around the world. since he's become secretary of state, two things have happened. first, elon musk is more in control of the department of state than marco rubio is. i mean, we've seen that with the dismantlement of a and the and the freezing of very important national security and foreign policy programs. but the second thing is what we witnessed here with respect to president zelensky, which is marco rubio essentially joining the vice president and president as bullies and throwing the ukrainian people under the bus. this was, you know, a terrible betrayal, in my view, of the principles and values the united states has stood for. it's a betrayal of the people of ukraine and, of course, the p

marco rubio has not. and that's been a great disappointment to many of his former colleagues in the senate. >> you have been trying to lead your party, lead your colleagues in being aggressive, in pushing back, as we've heard a lot this morning against donald trump. you're skipping his joint address to congress on tuesday. you believe other democrats, house and senate democrats should do the same and why? >> well, i think every democrat needs to make up their own mind. i think that state of the union speech is going to be a farce. i think it's going to be a maga pep rally, not a serious talk to the nation. i think donald trump is going to spew a series of lies about his alignment with russia, about what he's trying to do to allow elon musk to essentially monetize the american government, to enrich musk and his billionaire crowd. and i'm just not going to be a part of that. listen, the case i'm making to democrats is that we have to fight every single day, every single day. republicans flood the zone. demo

in effect, lindsey graham, marco rubio, these guys were hawks. these guys saw putin as a bad guy, as a as a threat to the world. they saw ukraine as a victim of unprovoked aggression. they saw zelensky as a new churchill, and they celebrated them this way. and to see them, as you say, turn 180 degrees on this, to denounce zelensky and to back trump in his verbal assault on zelensky, shows you how much power trump has over the republicans. they don't want to cross him. they don't want to be in the chair where zelensky is in that image. so they don't want trump to be yelling at them, and therefore they feel compelled to stay in line with him. and it's a radical change for the whole republican party this way. >> but ambassador certainly heard what marco rubio said earlier in an interview. i believe it was on cnn. but he appeared uncomfortable during the tense exchange. how difficult will the job of secretary of state be if the president and vice president continue undermining allies? >> yeah, i think you're exactly right, alex. i mean, secretary rub

>> i did vote for senator rubio to be secretary of state.egret that vote because as a member of the senate, secretary rubio was somebody who stood up for american values and american principles. he acknowledged russia was the aggressor against ukraine. he realized it was not zelensky who was the dictator. and now he is simply taking his directions to the state department from elon musk. essentially parroting the president's position. which i understand but it's very different than what senator rubio used to talk about pickwick secretary besson, described that meeting with president zelensky. he said they wanted to get the deal done on the rare earth minerals wanted to show a bond and come out of the meeting united against russia and says very tough a 45 minute meeting very loud decibel level. he wanted no daylight between the 2 but he said zelensky refused to sign it. take her on friday which we thousand mu celebrations on the deal. secretary besson said is with biggest on goals in history too. >> us of the meeting as a despicable plate disp

i asked secretary rubio if he agrees with that and this is what he had to say.ator lindsey graham, after having lunch with president trump today, said zelenskyy either needs to resign or they need to send someone over that we can do business with. do you feel that president zelenskyy needs to resign? >> well, that's lindsay's feeling because he feels very passionately you know, he's been a very strong supporter of ukraine. lindsey graham has been what is the strongest voices for ukraine? well, the united states president is taking no position on that. what he said today is let him come back when he's ready to do peace. that's what he said. let him come back when he's ready to do peace. so i can't speak for what anybody else said. i can only go off the words from the president of the united states, and that is today. we're not this is not going to be productive any further. when zelenskyy is ready to make peace and he's serious about peace, let him come back then. and that's when we'll reengage with them. and what he means by that is when how will you measure tha

and republicans here are defending mr trump and we have heard from the likes of marco rubio, the headas well as senator lindsey graham, he was supporter of ukraine. both of them praising mr trump and commending him for his actions and saying that this is the right way to defend the united states. and we have heard outrage and criticism from the democrats. they have said that this will play into moscow's hands and that mr trump is doing their bidding. but remember, this is likely to do very well with mr trump's core base of supporters. they will see this as something of him defending the we can. that i: these these come ti not come ti not a come 7? flow. ta i come 7? flow. ta i was re need is next today that aid can i? 7 youit hi n k n vicia n ,f§:if have seen? i think is = -:= secure relationship it has with is a in foreign policy. but think that is e—m starting to see, so it is not �*to me, i think �*:“ has ll _iieiii made came out of tho gssi affix sooss; i thih's; is this: soot affix sssissgi thih's; is what ,, and are seeing the it office been! perhaps flsf�* §¥¥hf%?=*'e�*“°�*e§{e§*

his team includes marco rubio and national security advisor mike waltz. they are absolutely competent people in every sense of the word they speak based on the fact that they don't come in to us and we don't command them. it's just the 2 serious countries sat down to talk about what was wrong with them and what a predecessor had done in 4 years. destroying all channels of contact without exception, imposing a number of sanctions, followed by the expulsion of american companies, incurring losses of hundreds of billions of dollars as the just following biden's term. there are now people who want to lead with common sense. they say directly that they want to end all wars, they want peace, you who demands a continuation of the gravy train with that war. europe, friendship, president, my crohn is running around with some ideas just like british p. m. cure storm or they say that so many thousands of peacekeepers are being trained and they will provide them with air cover. that is arrogance. first of all, no one is asking us president donald trump understands ev

engaged in the ukraine situation despite what happened on friday and the secretary of state, monica rubio has this to say, and we're trying to end the war. you cannot end the war unless both sides come to the table starting with the russians. and that, that is the point the president has made. and we have to do whatever we can to try to bring them to the table to see if it's even possible. i'm not promising you, it's possible. i'm not telling you it's 90 percent likely. i'm saying it's 0 percent likely if we don't get them, don't negotiate in table and the sooner everyone grows up around here and figures out that this is a bad war that's heading in a bad direction with death and destruction and all kinds of danger surrounding and beckett spiraled into a broader conflict the sooner people grow up and realize that i think the more progress we're going to be able to make. the secretary of state also pointed to the message that president trump put on the social media off the fridays meeting, saying that it belonged to me. it was the lensky would be welcome back to the white house when he's pr

and as you, you mentioned the us secretary of state, monica rubio insist that russia must be included in peace talks like hanover reports from washington dc. the secretary of state, marco rubio confirmed that he'd held telephone conversations with a foreign ministers of the united kingdom and france in the past 24 hours. this an apparent indication that he is discussing that embry on a piece plan that the us is european allies, are drawing up. the secretary of state also said he had no contact with ukrainian leadership since that meeting for the pot in the white house. but he continues to support an express admiration for what president trump did during that meeting, insisting that the president was intent only on securing a peace. we're trying to end a war. you cannot end the war unless both sides come to the table starting with the russians. and that, that is the point the president has made. and we have to do whatever we can to try to bring them to the table to see if it's even possible. i'm not promising you, it's possible. i'm not telling you it's 90 percent. likely. i'm saying i

give some historical context, sort of this in place, some clips from base trump and it's extra state. rubio, for 3 is going to have lessons of the russian attack on ukraine is appalling to an outrage and an atrocity that should never have been allowed to occur. here's what matters. because after world war 2, the world said that never again are we going to allow countries who decide that their neighboring countries belong to them to just wait and take a. you can a piece and that was one of the lessons. once they take one country, they're never ever stopped. they keep going. and suddenly we can be living in a world or countries just aside this belongs to us. so we're going to go and take it. and we'll take it by force and there's nothing you can do about it. so that's probably the 4 issue at stake here because what that is not a good one for us. so she have it. is it better to the staggered, really contrary view to the views the apparently not whole? i know with ruby, i certainly know it from trump's. trump was always says that this is a will that should that restore the i'm going to stop it

we heard from secretary rubio, which contrasts what he said when he was a senator. we know what the new national security advisor, walt, said before he took that role. keith kellogg as well. and his his military history. do you think there's anybody in this conversation who is saying, mr. president, we need to to take a different path than what we saw yesterday? >> well, number one, the most powerful people around trump on this issue and the loudest are clearly elon musk and jd vance. uh, and they are fully aligned with the president on throwing the ukrainians under the bus here. uh, and and in fact, to a degree, they've been driving that policy more than trump has. it is certainly true that there are many who privately believe that zelenskyy needs to be supported, that the americans should trust him far more than they would trust a rapprochement with the russian president. but their willingness to be sideways with president trump is zero. it's certainly zero publicly, but it's virtually zero privately. they're not pushing back on him. we've seen that with usaid fun

if trump, let's rubio off leash. yeah. then then what we're going to see is, is, is a, is a, is, is quite a degree of chaos and crisis and latin america, the taking a significant actions to dismantle us aid. you know, the us agency for international development and the national endowment for democracy about ordering a near total freeze on all 4 and a now of these cuts will lead to the getting of vital health care and education programs abroad. but both agencies have also been accused of operating as colbert instruments of u. s. foreign policy. as we see more america, 1st positives are often labeled. do you think us influence abroad is going to diminish? well, i guess the question is, how much the some of these policies get picked up by other, you know, other agencies within the state department? but yes, i mean, you, the, the gutting the targeting of usa id is fascinating this and really is a signal at the united states is, is announcing that it is no longer going to superintend the world. right. and any ideas, perfect exp

well, who we can make the case to the trump administration and to sector re rubio, that that is life saving support. it's hard to imagine anyway, where that support is more vital, more urgent and see done. right now we will deliver and we will go wherever we need to go and talk to whoever we need to talk to, to get that paid through. but we do need the wealth to respond. we can't have this situation where people are too distracted to swept up in their own lives, not to care for a crisis which is happening on our screens. another one happening on our screens now to 0 that may be north on screens, everywhere around the world. as a size, the eastern democratic republic of congo, which has been a conflict zone for decades. m 23. now marching through the region taken the 2 big cities. how difficult is it for you to operate that? because go, as i understand it was the humanitarian hub and it became the place that fell. so, i mean, it's way you were delivering everything from. it's very, very difficult. and of course, you know, we're trying to get that airport and come open again because so

will have an impact. able those costs go through, but i think is also with nursing secondary rebate. rubio has been very clear that they don't want to stop life saving work for they. all right, now it's not happening. is it not a new? just because of the way they've done this, no one is going to anyone, is it? so at the moment, there are a number of programs us bank programs, which have paused, but we're waiting to see what we get more wave is way of us have been granted already for a lot of that lifestyle thing. work and is out jump to make the case as strongly as we can, that we need that money because it does save lives and then we deliver efficiently the case of those wave is that need to actually be action right now, because that doesn't seem to be even that there's a wave that doesn't seem to the mechanism to actually pay out the money because there's no $1.00 in us idea tool. but we're having, we're having those conversations with the us, it ministration. trying to make that case weighted by wave, a project by project, our engineer partners international and yours, national and just

there's the neo cons, luckily appointed secretary of state marco rubio, up until a few years ago he was down within the yo cottage. and now we found now in always adjusting himself any sounding a little bit like an american 1st though. but, but how do you know as a gender in latin america? what sort of yours agenda squeeze cube until it breaks? was my daughter oh, and venezuela? i was to take her in, in, in, in nicaragua, and forced brazil to lift the band. i'm also not a particularly job us and i don't know, participating in the, in the election in 2026. he's banned from, from participating in the 2026 election because lives and mom and in the early a cool, an assassination attempt against lulu. so there's a whole new kind of gender in latin america. if, if trump, let's rubio off leech, then then what we're going to see is, is, is a, is a, is, is quite a degree of chaos and crisis and latin america. double check this, taking a significant actions to dismantle us aid. you know, the us agency for international development and the national endowment for democracy about ordering a near tot

and around about the time that secretary rubio was due to be of the week — this first cabinet meetingld trump held with his team. they're not all confirmed yet, but most of them are. and that was, again, extraordinary. it was 60 minutes or so before. 65 minutes. 65 minutes! essentially in a room and the president going around senate confirmed. and he was there addressing journalists as well, and we're told stayed in the room for the duration of were asking, you know, about tensions that had been reported between some of the cabinet members that have been made. and president trump kind of turned to the room and said, and it was...it was crickets. there was total silence. that he is very much the boss in the room. and one wonders, you know, behind closed doors, a little more heated too. less enthused with doge. so ijust thought that was quite a remarkable moment, especially when musk is there as not a member of the cabinet, you know. of highlight that. from the republican party. they said, you know, cabinet meetings are a very formal affair. cup, as he went through it. none of them rode
