Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Marco Rubio's Munich speech?
Let's start off with Munich. More and more and more, people are calling this man the 2028 leading Republican presidential candidate. The only thing, if he can get past the primary of beating JD Vance, Because JD has the Turning Point USA organization. JD has some of the younger folks, and he has a bigger out-there market.
But when he hit the stage, Rob, if you can find a clip of when Marco hit the stage. Folks, people lost their... I mean, you don't get this kind of reaction at these types of events. They clapped for him in his speech three times. One time he's just kind of going through the speech.
They stopped him in the middle of his speech just to give him an applause, and he was in the middle of his speech, Marco Rubio.
Chapter 2: How does Marco Rubio position himself against JD Vance?
It's a 26, 27-minute speech, and there's like five minutes of Q&A they do at the end. But, Rob, if you don't mind just showing the applause at the beginning. Go ahead, Rob. So now go back to the other clip.
He made a couple incredible comments that were, the word I could find, it's like a leader challenging everybody yet encouraging to unify, yet being humble and teaching history of how we once used to be hundreds of years ago. It was just a phenomenal speech. Go ahead, Rob.
The United Nations still has tremendous potential to be a tool for good in the world. But we cannot ignore that today, on the most pressing matters before us, it has no answers and has played virtually no role. It could not solve the war in Gaza. Instead, it was American leadership that freed captives from barbarians and brought about a fragile truce. It has not solved the war in Ukraine.
It took American leadership in partnership with many of the countries here today just to bring the two sides to the table in search of a still elusive peace. It was powerless to constrain the nuclear program of radical Shia clerics in Tehran. That required 14 bombs dropped with precision from American B-2 bombers.
And it was unable to address the threat to our security from a narco-terrorist dictator in Venezuela. Instead, it took American special forces to bring this fugitive to justice. In a perfect world, all of these problems and more would be solved by diplomats and strongly worded resolutions. But we do not live in a perfect world.
And we cannot continue to allow those who blatantly and openly threaten our citizens and endanger our global stability to shield themselves behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate. This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon. It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on.
It is a path we have walked together before. and hope to walk together again.
Tom, thoughts on this?
It was a tremendous speech. I felt that it was, I'm going to use a word here, I felt it was presidential, it was leadership, it was global stage. He then summed it up and made several, actually he had many summation points, and he would come to a summation point and he would say, you are our heritage, we came from you. Yeah. We came and built the U.S. with you. We cannot succeed without you.

Chapter 3: What leadership qualities did Rubio demonstrate during his speech?
But, Pat, you know what it is? He's, well, Marco, you know what he is? He's the second string quarterback that is showing up in practice and is making the coaches go, you know what? I don't know, guys. We might have to have this guy be a starter. He has Trump's policies. OK, he has Trump's love for America without Trump's like volatility because of what the media has done to him.
He's his parents are from Cuba. Legal immigration loves the country. I'm telling you right now that on that stage with this speech, in my opinion, there's not even a question anymore. And I love that you said that, Pat. That JD is the younger, is the TP USA. He's on Theo Vaughn.
It's important, though.
That's fair. Oh, big time. Very important. Oh, I agree with you 100%. But when it comes to, and by the way, I think he's qualified to do the job. But this guy right here, Marco Rubio, from what I'm seeing, you know how they always say, Trump's not presidential.
Chapter 4: What criticisms did Rubio make about the United Nations?
And Trump isn't this. This guy's presidential. He loves the country. When he goes to other countries, he stands firm and tells them that they're the problem. They have problems. But we have to work together. I think he's a stud. I love him.
Yeah, I want to go to another clip, and then, Adam, I'm going to come to you. Rob, what other clips do you have? Do you have the clip of when he says the following? There's a line where he says, it was this continent that produced the genius of Mozart and Beethoven, of Dante and Shakespeare. of Michelangelo and Da Vinci and of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. And they started laughing.
These momentous and these monuments and artists testify not only to the greatness of our past, but to the promise of our future. The message was so unifying. The message was so, he said another thing where, Tom, you were kind of trying to quote him.
He said, while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference, preference, and it is our hope to do this together with you, our friends here in Europe. And we care deeply about your future and ours. And if at times we disagree, our disagreements come from our profound sense of concern, okay? Both our histories and our fates are linked together.
There was another message he gave when he says, we got to get off this thing about fear. Rob, can you search on the words, on the transcript, fear of climate change? Type in fear of climate change. Got it. Go to that part, Rob, and then go back maybe five seconds prior to that. I just love, he says, enough with this fear porn. Look at the way he puts this together. Go for it.
It's not just a set of bad policies, but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency. An alliance, the alliance that we want, is one that is not paralyzed into an action by fear. Fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology. Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future.
And the only fear we have is the fear of the shame of not leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and wealthier for our children. An alliance ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests, and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape our own destiny. not one that exists to operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported sins of past generations.
An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, or subordinated to systems beyond... I just love the way he put this together. To me, he's officially number one draft pick for 2028. Number one, and I think the reason why JD is asking to be able to solve the California issue is because he knows he's behind the eight ball right now.
And by the way, if he's president, he calls JD to be VP, JD's not taking it because nobody wants to be VP, VP for two different presidents

Chapter 5: How does American leadership impact global conflicts according to Rubio?
He'll become the first in history to do so. You don't want to make history doing that. And I don't think J.D. will do it. I think he would take somebody else as VP. There's something very, very attractive about the way he's handling business. Adam.
Well, in my opinion, little Marco has completely grown up. I mean, you know, playing the long game, whether it's in politics or in real life, sometimes it's not your time. It was not little Marco's time in 2016, but it certainly looks like this will be his time in 2028. Look, the world is a dangerous place, man.
What's going on in the world with China trying to have worldwide hegemony over the United States, whether it's Iran holding the world hostage with their nuclear deals, North Korea. We know how well-versed he is with what's going on in Latin America, especially Venezuela. You know, his parents are Cuban. He's from Miami. Shout out to Miami.
But the world is a better place and a safer place when America leads. So this is what American leadership is. And then he also, he's almost like Trump, but with a little bit more poise. Not as much style, but more substance. And he basically said, guys, we need you. You're our allies. And it's kind of like, pick a lane.
Do you want to be on America's side or do you want to be on the globalist China side? And he went one by one, Pat, I don't know if you saw that, when he goes, Britain, this is what you did for us, okay? Without you, we wouldn't be here. French, the Enlightenment, thank you for that. New Amsterdam, now it's called New York. Went country by country, city by city. You helped shape America.
So, I mean, in my opinion, it's a little too early to speculate on 2028. But in my opinion, this is that dude right there.
Listen, in 2022, I speculated that Trump was going to win and the stock market was going to go to 50,000. It is on time to speculate. And I'm telling you, I'm speculating a lot right now. By the way, here's the part. There's obviously two years left, three years left until that time comes. But what's his resume look like right now? What's JD's resume look like right now?
Oh, dude, it's not even close.
No, no, but I'm being serious. What's the resume look like right now? You know what this administration could do? You know what this administration could do?
