Rubio repeatedly reached for popular, if dated, rap lyrics. He called the leaders of Iran “insane in the brain,” a reference to a Cypress Hill hip-hop song, and later said Tehran needs to “check themselves before they wreck themselves,” referencing Ice Cube.

Marco Rubio on Tuesday briefly added a new title to his ever-growing list of responsibilities: White House press secretary wsj.com/politics/polic…

.@WSJ’s @natalieandrews: “The average price of gas in the country right now is $4.50. Do you have a thought on how long Americans are supposed to kind of accept this? Do you think it will affect Republicans majorities in the midterms?” @SecRubio: “Well, I don’t — I’m not going to speculate on the politics of it. You can tell me. I mean, look, it’s obviously being driven by global events. That — that was true during the Russia/Ukraine war as well, where you saw that come up. It’s one — look, we don’t benefit from the Straits as much as other countries. I don’t know if you’ve seen what the gas prices are like in other parts of the world that are really suffering big time, so we’re very fortunate that the United States, I believe right now is like the world’s largest net exporter of oil and natural gas as a result, not because of this war, but because we have this capacity. So, we’ve been insulated to some degree. We’re obviously still vulnerable to some extent to global prices. And so — but in the end, I mean, we’re more insulated than other countries, even though that’s not welcome news to Americans that are paying more at the pump, no doubt about it. And it certainly is one of the circumstances of it. There are people that were predicting would be much higher at this point, but we’re not taking that for granted. Suffice it to say that this is — think about it this way. Everybody needs to think about it this way. If Iran had a nuclear weapon and they decided to close the Straits and make our gas prices like $9 a gallon or $8 a gallon, we wouldn’t be able to do anything about it because they have a nuclear weapon and a nuclear-armed Iran could do whatever the hell they want with the Straits, and there’s nothing anyone would be able to do about it. And that’s one of the many reasons, apart from, like, the massive loss of life in a nuclear strike, why Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. I mean, so. this is an example of if they had a nuclear weapon, they closed the Straits and they would tell the world, what are you going to do about it? We have a nuclear weapon. We can attack you with it. That’s the world none of us want to leave behind. It won’t happen under this president’s watch. But some future president and future — you know, in the future, Americans will have to deal with this. So, it’s just one more example of why these guys can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.”

Sec. @MarcoRubio tells @NatalieAndrews that "everybody needs to think about" rising gas prices and Iran "this way"--if Iran had a nuclear weapon, they could "make our gas prices like $9 a gallon" and there'd be nothing anyone could do about it.

Vance continued: "Maybe that suggests the left has got to tone down the rhetoric a little bit."

VANCE on Fox says left should ask "why is it that so many of the people who are firing guns on their political opponents agree with my perspective and listen to the same sources of information that I listen to?"
