Marco Rubio Thinks You’re An Idiot

I’ve been converting some of my livestreams into 3-10 minute clips when they can be focused on single issues. The YouTube algorithm rewards these clips a lot more than full episodes.

I’m selective about which clips to share with the newsletter—subscribers tend to be readers more than viewers/listeners—but my recent clip about Marco Rubio’s testimony was one I thought worthwhile. Not only because it’s deeply troubling, but also because the full senate voted to confirm him as Secretary of State despite…

• Using his prepared statement to call pro-Palestinian peace protestors Jihadist terrorists;

• Hijacking leftist critiques of capitalism to make an argument for why we ought to thrust toward World War III;

• Hanging his entire ideology on “national sovereignty” that he does not extend to other nations;

• Explicitly declaring “global order” not only “obsolete” but also a weapon being used against America.

Little Marco is a demagogue and a sycophant to power. There is no coherence in what he claims. But there is a lot of danger in it, and it foreshadows the ideological rhetoric that’s going to be deployed to rationalize American militarism.
