Rubio issues BOLD warning: 'ESPIONAGE SUPERPOWER'

♪♪. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DONROE. DOCTRINE REMAINS IN FULL EFFECT. AS SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO. RUBIO WARNS OF THE NATIONAL. SECURITY THREAT THAT CUBA POSES. DURING OUR SIT-DOWN LAST NIGHT. >> TO THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, YOU. KNOW, YOU SEE CUBA, SMALL. COUNTRY 90 MILES OFF OUR. SHORES, NINE AND A HALF MILLION. PEOPLE POPULATION. WHAT PEOPLE FORGET WHEN IT. COMES TO THINGS LIKE ESPIONAGE. AND INFLUENCE OPERATIONS, THEY. ARE AN INFLUENCE AND ESPIONAGE.

SUPER POWER. IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF. ESPIONAGE IN THE UNITED STATES, CUBA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT. CONSISTENTLY IMPLANTED AND. SPIES EMBEDDED IN OUR SYSTEM. WITHOUT PAYING THEM. LARA: TOMORROW MARKS SEVEN. MONTHS SINCE THE CAPTURE OF. MADURO FROM VENEZUELA, AND. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR DEMOCRATIC. ELECTIONS. AND THAT HAS NEWS WEEK. DECLARING THAT TRUMP WAS RIGHT. ABOUT VENEZUELA. LET'S BRING IN THE SENIOR.

FELLOW AT THE AMERICA FIRST. POLICY INSTITUTE. JOSHUA, TO HEAR NEWSWEEK. FINALLY GIVE CREDIT TO THIS. PRESIDENT ABOUT VENEZUELA I. THINK IS AMAZING, BUT LET'S. REMIND PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT WE. HEARD FROM DEMOCRATS WHEN IT. CAME TO VENEZUELA. LISTEN TO THIS. >> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOW. SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT THIS. WHOLE SITUATION THAT HAS. UNFOLDED IN VENEZUELA HAS. ANYTHING TO DO WITH A COUNTER. NARCOTICS OPERATION? GET LOST. >> WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO IN. VENEZUELA IS JUST PLAIN WRONG.

>> THE DANGER IN VENEZUELA IS. ONLY BEGINNING. DONALD TRUMP HAS OPENED A. PANDORA'S BOX. LARA: THEY ALL LOOK SO CRAZY. NOW IN RETROSPECT. OF COURSE, JOSHUA, THIS WAS. SUCH A BIG MOVE, SUCH A BIG. WIN, NOT JUST FOR THE UNITED. STATES IN BRINGING MADURO TO. JUSTICE, BUT FOR THE PEOPLE OF. VENEZUELA AND FOR THE ENTIRE. WORLD, WHAT HAPPENED THERE. >> WELL, THERE'S A REASON YOU. DON'T HAVE A LOT OF VENEZUELANS. SAYING THE SAME THING THAT THE. DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP DID. THE REALITY IS THE REMOVAL OF.

NICHOLAS MADURO THIS YEAR MADE. POSSIBLE A GRADUAL TRANSITION. TO A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC. VENEZUELA, IMPORTANT TO SAY. INTEGRATED FULLY INTO THE. SYSTEM OF WESTERN DEFENSE, WESTERN ECONOMY AND WESTERN. SECURITY. LARA: I THINK JUST TO GO BACK. FOR A SECOND TO ANOTHER PART OF. THE WORLD THAT, YOU KNOW, AMERICANS MAYBE AREN'T FOCUSED. ON, BUT SHOULD BE. WE HEARD FROM SECRETARY OF. STATE MARCO RUBIO THERE IN THAT. INTRODUCTION, CUBA AS A PROBLEM.

THAT I DON'T THINK AMERICANS. FOCUS ENOUGH ON. GIVE ME YOUR TAKE ON THE THREAT. FROM CUBA BECAUSE, LOOK, WE. HEARAR ABOUT IRAN, WE KNOW ABOU. RUSSIA, WE KNOW ABOUT CHINA, BUT CUBA IS SOMETHING THAT. AMERICANS ABSOLUTELY NEED TO. PAY ATTENTION TO. >> WHAT THE SECRETARY SAID TO. YOU IN YOUR CONVERSATION WITH. HIM IS A THOUSAND PERCENT. CORRECT. CUBA HAS BEEN AN EPICENTER OF. ANTI-AMERICAN TERRORISM, ESPIONAGE AND ACTION FOR MOST.

OF THE PAST 70 YEARS. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT THE TRUMP. ADMINISTRATION REALLY FOR THE. FIRST TIME SINCE THE KENNEDY. ADMINISTRATION, IS TAKING REAL. ACTION TO STOP IT. >> THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TIME. FOR OUR COUNTRY AND IMPORTANT. TIME FOR THE WORLD AND WE ARE. SO GRATEFUL, AT LEAST I AM FOR. SURE, THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT. WHO IS MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE. RIGHT THINGS ARE HAPPENING. SO JOSHUA,
