Ajouté : 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Thank you, Secretary Rubio, for being here today.

[00:00:02]You have been at multiple meetings with President Trump. In a moment, I'm going to show you a video of one of these meetings. It is from last December. It's a cabinet meeting. I'm going to ask you to focus on President Trump, and you will see that he is sleeping while you are talking.

[00:00:19]Please show the video.

[00:00:21]>> [laughter] >> products they make and and what American farmers grow and produce has a fair shot to be sold around the world. On issue after issue, that's been the case. You talk about foreign aid reforms. This is not our money. This is taxpayer money.

[00:00:38]>> Secretary Rubio, have you been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep?

[00:00:45]>> That's false.

[00:00:47]That's false. I've never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem because he calls me at 2:00 in the morning, he calls me at 5:00 in the morning, and you know, I like to sleep a little bit, maybe not 12 hours or but at least 6.

[00:00:58]So, he works The other day he was at the Oval Office until 12:30 p.m. 12:30 a.m.

[00:01:03]I don't >> I'm going to show you in a moment a video that shows you just lied to Congress. Oh, okay. So, this is a video of a cabinet meeting literally from last month where Donald Trump is sleeping while you are talking.

[00:01:19]Please show this video.

[00:01:22]>> coalition of countries that line up behind the peace deal, behind the board of peace, and it's still not Every day is a challenge, but it's been driven personally by the president. It's the reason why I'm we're involved in this whole Ukraine-Russia conflict. That's not our war. It's not the president's war. This war started It never would have happened if you'd been president.

[00:01:39]But this war is going on, and the president is trying to end it.

[00:01:42]>> You are literally talking about issues of war and peace, and Donald Trump is sleeping right next to you.

[00:01:49]If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at these important meetings where the cameras are rolling, imagine what he's like when the cameras are there. So, I'm going to ask you, have you been at classified meetings where Donald Trump has fallen asleep >> I've never been at any meeting. I've never been at any meeting where and the what things you're showing me now, he was not falling asleep.

[00:02:09]>> And so you're lying again. You're lying consistently to Congress. You're lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio. So, I'm going to show you another video in a moment. The president's inability The president's inability to stay awake on the job has caused other countries to perceive him differently. They mock him. They see he is weak and he is feeble. This is a video of a French news channel talking about Donald Trump falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony.

[00:02:41]Please show this video.

[00:02:45]>> Well, now the video that appears to show Donald Trump falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony this Monday has been circulating heavily online. And it's an internet users have a lot to say about it. It's also reignited rumors about the state of the US president's health. Now, in the video in social media users say that Trump is fighting sleep while he listens to the speech given by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and that his eyes appear to be closed for a large portion of the ceremony.

[00:03:13]Now, we need to remember here that this is a ceremony to honor and remember those those US military personnel who have died while serving in the armed forces.

[00:03:21]And the idea that Trump was asleep at a somber ceremony like this well, that has triggered outrage online.

[00:03:28]>> Donald Trump's inability to stay awake on the job shows that there's something very wrong with his health or cognitive abilities. And in fact, on a number of occasions, Donald Trump will contradict himself in literally the same meeting or interview.

[00:03:42]In this video I'm about to show, it shows that Donald Trump says the Iranian military is both destroyed and not destroyed at the same time, something that the United States alluded to, please show this video.

[00:03:57]>> of leadership that we've actually left the military alone. People would be surprised to hear that.

[00:04:02]Because uh mistakes have been made in wars where you wipe out everybody and then you have a country that's, you know, for 40 years can never rebuild.

[00:04:10]You look at what happened with Iraq. We did the same Iran is in a great position. They have no military. They all they have is good talk and they have a fake press.

[00:04:20]>> So, Senator Rubio, instead of holding North Korean-style cabinet meetings where everyone goes around the room kissing Donald Trump's ass, I'm going to ask you to come clean with American people and the White House as well.

[00:04:32]There's something wrong with Donald Trump's health or cognitive abilities.

[00:04:36]There's a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen the president in 8 days. The American people deserve the truth. I yield back.
