🚨 BOOM: Sec. Marco Rubio DISMANTLES the claim that President Trump doesn't care about Americans' financial situation Q: Did he make a mistake when he said Americans' financial situation isn't playing even a little bit of a role in his Iran motivations? RUBIO: NO, what he's saying is Iran can't use that as LEVERAGE. He's making clear we won't let Iran use [Americans' financial situations] as leverage...what he is making clear is if the Iranians THINK that they are going to use our domestic politics to pressure him into a bad deal? That's NOT going to happen. Perfectly said.

WATCH: CBS's Tony Dokoupil completes his editorial to close out the West Coast Evening News broadcast. In a minute and a half, he runs through what the other nightlies omit- that China is going through the suck worse than the U.S. right now. The media hall monitors will surely throw a fit about it tomorrow. TONY DOKOUPIL: Finally, tonight from Taiwan: as President Trump and China's Xi Jinping prepare to meet, you will hear a lot about American decline and the rise of a powerful new China. The Chinese certainly believe it. But is it true? Xi’s China is a marvel by many measures, is- is the world's second largest economy, producing almost 30% of the world's manufactured goods. They have high speed rails that put the Acela to shame. And China has lifted millions of its citizens out of poverty, making things like the iPhones in your pocket and mine. And yet, America remains the innovation hub of the world. Made in China, yes; but designed and invented in the U.S.A. New drugs, new discoveries, new inventions, new space missions. Xi boasts of the country's industrial might, and it's impossible to deny that fact. China's population is in decline, though, well below replacement rates. Unemployment is high with millions in rural provinces living in poverty, and massive housing complexes that now sit empty. Most importantly, and perhaps I'm stating the obvious here, none of these problems are a topic on the Chinese evening news. In fact, pessimism itself is forbidden on the Chinese internet. The freedoms we have, they simply do not. That's another day in America and the world. I'm Tony Dokoupil, live from Taipei, Taiwan. Good night.

I don't post much about my kids here because I want to give them their privacy and keep them away from the negativity that can come from running for office. But this one I really wanted to share with all of you. Extremely proud of my daughter Gabriela who is graduating high school next month and has been offered and accepted her nomination to the United States Naval Academy! ⚓️ She did this all on her own, good grades, amazing athlete, and no help from mom or anyone else. As a veteran myself, it makes me so proud to know that my kids are turning out to be good hard working adults. And that they want to also serve their country makes me even prouder! 🇺🇸 Please help me in congratulating this amazing young lady! She will soon be in plebe summer and on her way to being a Midshipman in Annapolis! ❤️ @NavyAthletics @NavalAcademy

I was shocked to see Descano tout his West Point experience for points in today’s hearing — great time to remind everyone he should actually be forced to pay back the tuition:

A heated moment during the Fairfax County sanctuary hearing on Capitol Hill with Steve Descano

Who else is excited for this?!

Holy Moly! #GoNavy!!!

But her district must be protected at all costs because of the vital representation she provides to minority/majority districts.

I asked Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano why it took a congressional hearing for him to finally apologized to angel mom Cheryl Minter.

I asked the Fairfax DA why a child r*pist walked away with only 90 days suspended.
