i'm going to take you to the pigs? >> let me go to marco rubio who said i think our inquiry should be based on the testimony and evidence they used to reach those articles now. we're under no obligation to extend beyond the record that they created. >> under no obligation. voters in florida understand this. we're under no obligation to hear the truth. we're under no obligation to really -- willie, think about that. i'm under no obligation, ginnetti elected member of senate to find out what the truth to find out what the national xusecurity secretary sd was a drug deal. where's willie? i can't see willie. there's willie. hi, willie. i was talking to you but i sass seeing mika so i was so confused. so what do you think of marco rubio saying, we're under no obligation -- yes, he was a national security adviser. yes, john bolton was the one who called this giuliani's drug deal. yes, this is the same white house official who will pond this meeting taking place, immediately adjourned it and told everybody, go talk to the lawyers now. this is illegal. and marco rubio's really saying, unde

a split? nancy: they are solidly behind trump and what review -- marco rubio and rick scott. this issue is contained, and it doesn't get any worse, are there, looking down the horizon, all three of you, are there foreign-policy issues which could prove important, maybe not pivotal, in the election? usually elections are about the economy or things of that nature. anything you can imagine on the foreign-policy level that is coming down the pike? nationally it is not as clear. perhaps through the lens of immigration, and how that continues to be handled or mishandled depending on which side you fall upon. also in florida, south florida, venezuela and cuba, maybe haiti. but this is a foreign-policy issue. the think it as we saw in pew results, china will continue to be what the soviet union was 30 years ago in kind of focusing the conversation, not just about america's role in the world but also what america is. it is the power that is writing. trump has been turning the towards, around china the markets, business community was always very pro-china. it has changed dramatically in th

leadership and our democrat presidential candidates. >> but, at least one republican senator marco rubio isn't following this line of criticism. >> do you think that -- do you believe that nancy pelosi is a defender of soleimani? >> i don't know there's -- i mean, i haven't seen any deferred of soleimani in american politics and i wouldn't include the speaker in that regard. i think they're wrong about their assessment of why this action was taken and they're wrong about claiming that it wasn't necessary. >> see, that actually is how debates in washington used to run. yes, we can be tough on marco rubio from time to time when he does things where it seems like he puts the interest of the president above that of the republic. but that's marco rubio actually -- god, speaking for a lot of senators i know, and some decent house members who say we have a difference of opinion. that's what we have. and, by the way, if a democrat had launched this, you would have had republicans being critical and bringing forward war powers resolution acts. but i just want to go down this list really quickly. donald

unnecessary escalation seems to have something to do with these events where we have marco rubio a republican and a conservative speaking in support of donald trump and criticizing nancy pelosi for her criticisms of the president and the moments in which these missiles have been fired this is the exchange we saw on social media closely monitoring the situation phone bombings targeting u.s. troops in iraq we must ensure the safety of our service members including and needless provocations from the administration and demanding that iran sees its mylan american world cannot afford war. iran is now a family calling for americans to turn on each of the the time will come to debase u.s. policy tonight's american and allied troops have come into direct attack by nation state and americans must come together to support and protect them and respond appropriately may god protect and watch over our troops stationed in iraq my thoughts are with them and with their loft once i condemn iran's attacks which targets you ask coalition and iraqi military personnel in the strongest terms i am monitoring the sit

marco rubio just went on tv and said well, we shouldn't have any witnesses. that's the house's job. i honestly can't believe this guy is a lawyer. but marco rubio did go to law school. but i don't think anyone who has graduate wood make such a statement. in the andrew johnson impeachment, the senate had 41 witnesses. in the clinton impeachment, there were three. we've never had a presidential impeachment with zero witnesses, particularly someone like john bolton, who the defendant in the impeachment trial president trump tried to gag. so marco rubio wins the three monkeys award for see no evil, hear no evil and so on. and while he may close his eyes, i don't think the american people are going to let the senate do that. i mean, this is a key witness. it's the president's own guy. it's his national security adviser. it's not some democrat or deep state person or something like that. he is central to the story. i agree with what senator murphy said on your show just a moment ago that the evidence is already overwhelming. but for the republicans who have been trying to close their ears a

spectrum from marco rubio to lindsey graham to bernie sanders to rick perry to ted vote your conscience cruz, they all have assessed trump's character as completely unfit to wield the power that he wields as president of the united states. for all of trump's narcissism and pettiness and bragging and ignorance, thus far through sheer luck we have avoided that absolute worst case scenario, the president essentially plunging the country into a new military conflagration/geopolitical quagmire. a lot of truly horrible things have happened under donald trump as president. nearly 3,000 americans died in puerto rico after the administration's weak hurricane response. thousands of immigrant children separated from their parents kept in cages, dozens of immigrants including children have died in i.c.e. custody. but a brand-new war run by this corrupt and curious president, that is the ultimate fear. a fear that looks very close right now to being a reality. er in the wake of his ordering the air strike of the number two figure in iran, millions of people marching the streets in iran, t

republican senator marco rubio he just tweeted just a few minutes ago and i'm going to read it directly to you facing repeated i.r.g.c. attacks the u.s. and the president united states exercised admirable restraint while setting clear red lines and the consequences for crossing them iran's qods force chose the path of escalation they are entirely to blame for bringing about the dangerous moment now before us rubio's tweet goes on to say the defensive actions the united states has taken against iran and its proxies are consistent with clear warnings they have received they chose to ignore these warnings because they believe the president united states was constrained from acting byard domestic political divisions they badly miscalculated so there you have the latest reaction from marco rubio a senator republican senator from the state of florida in a very close ally of president donald trump read into that tweet what you want i mean he's not explicitly confirming it but he's walking right up to that line i also want to read you again what i brought you just a few minutes before there was

assassination there to talk about strikes and here's senator marco rubio he's a republican and a supporter of donald trump so the defensive actions the u.s. has taken against iran and its proxies are consistent with clear warnings they have received though they chose to ignore these warnings because they believe the president united states was constrained from acting by our domestic political divisions they badly miscalculated so sending a warning there and backing up donald trump so there are divided opinions because middle east analysts are warning that this could trigger a massive consequences why is that well i think endless and journalists were taken off guard by this and there are some fears that we haven't seen we've only seen the beginning here's a couple of reactions i found on twitter we have. an analyst and journalist yosh or ali he writes for the new yorker magazine saying i can't under state how major this is not just a moment in u.s. iran relations but a major global event people comparing this to killing osama bin laden don't know what they're talking about this is

pompeo, as well as two influential senate voices on foreign policy, marco rubio, and connect democrat chris murphy. former c.i.a. director and retired general david petraeus will also be here. all st ahead on "face the nation." ♪ >> brennan>> brennan: good morning, and welcome to "face the nation." in iran today, tens of thousands are paying their respects with a massive funeral procession for general soleimani. iranian officials have ramped up their threats of retaliation, warning they may target 300 american affiliated sites for potential military response. and this just in: the pentagon announced that the u.s. has paused its efforts in the fight against isis due to a need to protect u.s. troops in the region. cbs news' holly williams joins from iraq, david martin is at the pentagon. david, let's start with you. what preparations is iran making to respond. >> david: margaret, i spoke to a u.s. defense official just a short time ago, and he says that iran, among other things, has brought its ballistic missiles to a higher state of alert. and he told me, and i want to read this so i

as a little overambitious full but three us senators including marco rubio, a potential presidential contender himself until he was beaten by donald trump a few years ago. brandon lewis actually said a few days ago that he was minded to accept what our security services had said and it is clear that gchq are comfortable that they will be able to contain any of the possible threat that could conceivably occur if china were to put some backdoor thing into the kit. but more importantly from a commercial point of view. companies like vodafone are already using some by way kit in 4g and they are comfortable about it as well. if we were not allowed to use it it would put the roll out of 5g back and there are not very many other very impressive alternative. ericsson, nokia, that type of thing. the borisjohnson is never going to wa nt the borisjohnson is never going to want to look like he is trumps poodle. the decision is apparently on tuesday. probably one of the most ill—conceived source quotes i have ever seen. whoever ill—conceived source quotes i have ever seen. whoeve

trump and solidly behind what -- rubio and scott, marco rubio and rick scott, yes. >> do you see -- if this issue is contained and it doesn't get any worse, looking down the horizon, all three of you, are there foreign policy issues that could prove important, maybe not pivotal, in the election? usually our elections about the economy or things of that nature. anything you could imagine that on foreign policy level that is coming down the pike? >> nationally, it's not as clear perhaps through the lens of immigration, and how that continues to be handled or mishandled depending upon which side you follow up on. also in florida, south florida, venezuela and cuba, to a far less degree haiti, but tps is a foreign policy issue. >> i think as a saw in the pew results, china is, has been, will continue to be what the soviet union was maybe 30 years ago and kind of focusing the conversation, not just about america's role in the world but also what america is. it is the power that is rising. trump has been very successful in turning the narrative around china toward -- we work quite, you know,

iran. here is senator marco rubio from florida. >> the iran deal helped finance the capabilities they had to launch the missiles yesterday and the capabilities they have to target american using proxy groups they believe provide them deniability in that risk still exists. what's changed is they understand that when this president says when an american is killed there's going to be response, it's not a talking point or tweet. it's real. because of the death of soleimani. >> do you see any role for congress legislative or otherwise? >> i think any help they need in terms of continuing to ensure that we pass spending that allows our military to have the capabilities to respond is important. consultations like this with congress are also very important in terms of the input we may have in the advice we may be able to give. we don't need aumf to react. this administration is not talking about invading iran or starting another goal for or a massive troop deployment or mass of an extended inside the territory of iran. it's talking about what it will do if we are attacked. it's called se

. republican senator marco rubio tweeted national security officials gave a compelling briefing to senators just now. >> yeah, go team. >> they answered every important question. anyone who walks out and says they aren't convinced action against soleimani was not justified just oppose everything trump does. we can decide to which of rubio's two categories republican senators mike lee of utah and rand paul of kentucky fall. >> probably the worst briefing i've seen at least on a military issue in the nine years i've served in the united states senate. one of the messages we received from the briefers was, do not debate, do not discuss the issue of the appropriateness of further military intervention against iran. and that if you do you will be em boldening iran. i find it insulting and demeaning to the constitution of the united states to which we've all sworn an oath. having to leave after 75 minutes while in the process of telling us that we need to be good little boys and girls and run along and not debate this in public. i find that absolutely insane. i walked into that briefing

shocking people is the level of cynicism. lots of attention on marco rubio, and his comment, he may be guilty of impeachment worthy stuff, but that's a good for the country, so let's look somewhere else. what are you hearing about how that is unfolding? kevin: there are three points i would make on this. the question now becomes, as greg reported, when exactly this acquittal will happen. i spoke with a senior source to a republican senator who told me the acquittal could come in the early morning hours of saturday. it could also come next week, monday or tuesday. it is complicating the timetable for a handful of democratic senators who would like to be in iowa, campaigning ahead of monday night's iowa caucus. thepresident's state of union still scheduled for tuesday evening. the second point i would make on that point, the president really wants to significantly turn the page. speaking with sources on the president's reelection effort, they want to see this wrapped up by tuesday. thirdly, from a policy implication standpoint, already you are seeing a group of bipartisan lawmakers tr

marco rubio's claim that yesterday's senate briefing was a good briefing. >> i think he must have been in a different briefing than i attended. i literally find it difficult to imagine how my friend marco, who is smart, who listens carefully, who caring about these things, how he could emerge from that meeting and say that it was good. it was terrible. i think it was an unmitigated disaster. >> joining us now is ed markey of massachusetts. senator, here is a question i haven't asked you before. who do you agree with, mike lee or marco rubio? >> you know, actually it is a good day for america when you can ask that kind of a question, when the republican party is actually having a debate over a trump policy. so, you know, i attended the same briefing that senator lee did, a frustrating, you know, session where information was grudgingly being dispensed by the cabinet officials of donald trump. and it was almost a tag team where each one of the senators who was asking a question was trying to elicit another small morsel of information from them. and then what they announced after 75

the situation. viviana: marco rubio says salamat he was planning a coup in iraq. the federal reserve may drop hints on plans for a repo market . we may also get an idea of what could shift the view that interest rates are on hold all year. through 2020, 13 officials forecasted that rate would be unchanged. karnak, flooding killed 43 people. hundreds of thousands have been evacuated. rains and rising rivers have left 200 neighborhoods submerged. landslides are also a problem. it is the worst flooding in jakarta in six years. the political honeymoon for scott morrison is over because of the deadly bushfires in australia. his clumsy handling of the oneis has brought criticism day after declaring a national disaster. he went on holiday to hawaii. some of that criticism is coming from fellow conservatives. the fires have killed 20 people and left 28 missing. global news 24 hours a day, on-air, and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm viviana hurtado. this is bloomberg. >> live from bloomberg world headquarters in new

rubio. >> marco rubio? >> he has been in the news a lot. explaining what is going on and not quite on trump's side. he is a good speaker and very charismatic. obviously he is a latino. >> just real quickly, democrats still have not finished the generational shift that republicans started some time ago. i mean, if you do the math roughly speaking pete buttigieg , could wait eight presidential cycles to run and still be younger than bernie sanders and biden and warren are now. democrats still have to that generational shift. the republicans are ahead of them in it. steffen, i thought you had -- i thought i saw your hand. dianne: i think nikki haley on the republican side. there have been predictions that a first woman president will be a republican rather than a democrat. i think she is positioning herself. there is big rumors in nebraska that ben sasse is trying to position himself for a run. more --oming out of the he was kind of a trump critic but has dampened that criticism and actually was endorsed by trump for a senate campaign. david y: why do you say the first woman president ma

, i'd love to hear what he has to say. >> for mitt romney, he said the right thing. marco rubio said the wrong thing today. i don't know if you saw his quote where he said, basically, we don't to want start a whole new investigation in the senate. >> let me give it to the audience. rubio said the testimony and evidence considered in a senate impeachment trial should be the same testimony and evidence the house relied upon when they passed the articles of impeachment. and that's where he wants to stand on this. sdp >> it's a disingenuous thing to say. there's actually nothing in the constitution about that. but if i were adam schiff, i would subpoena mr. bolton right now to disqualify marco rubio's argument. >> meike, your reaction to mitt romney coming out where 71% of the people of our "washington post" poll, on the question of whether trump should allow aides to testify, 71% say yes, they should testify. >> yeah. i think thait it's totally reasonable that mitt romney would want to hear from a firsthand witness that was in the room when the president was deliberating about this, who

only trump. i think you're seeing it from rising republicans, marco rubio, i think that's what will be with us in this cycle, and beyond. > i mean, i think he's exactly right. another slide on pew survey don't american voters care about foreign policy, when it's called foreign policy. about is hey do care economics and trade and terrorism, right? and so in so far as foreign in both of volved those issues, and it certainly already, trade war certainly, if the conflict with in a ways to terrorism that affects americans living within the united states, then major issueake it a in the campaign again. >> can i ask the two of you, maybe, just about secretary pompeo, indications, i guess, said he's not planning to run for the senate kansas. and there was an article describing pompeo, i think it as andrea mitchell wrote, saying, he's the most powerful secretary of state in a long time. would you describe foreign policy process under way with a rand-new national security adviser, also a pretty new secretary of defense. you can tell me if you disagree, matt, i don't permission, i u know you w

madison on this. here's marco rubio who can always be counted on to come forward and be unbrave because, of course, supporting it fully, whatever it is that donald trump wants to do, that is his prime directive. here is marco rubio defending his idea of imminent threat, for which there is no way to prove. >> a lot of people are concerned and want to know, and you're in a position to, perhaps, shed some light here. what was the imminent threat? that's the language the administration is using, to americans? >> yeah. when you gather information like this, it's highly sensitive. it cannot be disclosed at this time without also putting at danger our sources, our methods, losing access to future intelligence of this kind. here's the bottom line. if the president of the united states is presented with information that there is an imminent and credible threat that could cost the lives of not a couple hundred, potentially hundreds if not thousands of american servicemen, women and personnel in the region, the president has an obligation to act. >> joe? go on. >> i'm sorry. >> i was simpl

insight is unacceptable to many of us. >> what is interesting is senator marco rubio, your colleague on the other side of the aisle says anybody who walks out of that briefing said they weren't convinced action was justified, never going to be or just opposes everything donald trump does. is senator rubio right, senator menendez. do you just not like trump so you're not satisfied with his actions? >> i love my country more than i care about whether i like a president or not. that's the no the issue. the issue is i'm not going to live through another weapons of mass destruction moment. i served in the house during the vote on the iraq war. i did my due diligence on intelligence. i believed there was no clear and present danger, no evidence of weapons of mass destruction and i voted against the war in iraq. the most important vote a member of the congress can take is a vote on "war and peace" and life and death. i'm not taking anybody's word for it. it's not disdain for the president. i have on occasion worked with the president in venezuela and other things. the reality is that turnin

the president of ukraine. >> i wondered today about marco rubio and whether he would vote for witness testimony and he is saying to cnn that he doesn't believe that those witnesses should be called because he believes the senate trial should be constrained by the information passed over from the house. given that, and if that's a take enough senators continue to hold, in the republican side of the senate, would you advocate for adam schiffing subpoenaing john bolton so the subpoena is out there in one way or another? >> the house has sole power on articles of impeachment. the process they use. they can reopen this, call witnesses. the senate has complete control over the trial. i respect senator rubio but we're not constrained by the articles of impeachment from the point of view from the evidence. we can get our own evidence and entitled to call witnesses, issue subpoenas. it is up to the united states senate to carry out our responsibility of a fair trial. how can you have a fair trial without hearing from the witnesses about the involvement? >> i want to move over to the iran side
