My name is jon stewart. My guest tonight, senator marco rubio from the great state. Well, the state of florida. I kid because lets face facts weve had some issues with florida in the past. With the votecounting. And the groundstanding but tonight i am hap it really just is dangling there. Im happy to say there is great news from the Sunshine State florida joins the growing list of states where same sex marriage is now legal. You can hear the celebration in the courtroom today as it erupted in miami this morning. Jon whoo yeah cheers and applause speaking french it is miami, party city though dont get too carried away. Pretty sure thats how every verdict in miami is received. You do if youre dealing crack. Jon oh, yeah mr. Worldwide of course, not everybodys happy with the judicial ruling. A small group of protesters picketed with signs outside of the clerk of courts office. And at times they directly confronted the gay couples waiting in line. Two men and two women cant get married. Dont you understand that . Its perversion. Its not marriage. Its perverrrrsion jon its a perverrrsion no, a perversion is two giant rats living in sin for 80 years. Sorry if gay marriage skeeves you out, but its the law of the land now. Theres really nothing you can do about it. I guess you could cancel all courthouse marriages but that would be unbelievably petty spiteful and vindictive. Duval, clay and baker county no longer give couples the option to get married in the courthouse. And that goes for all couples gay or straight. You wont perform any marriages . Because of this in terrible news for engaged couples in those counties. But great news for leland, the lethario of duval county. Sorry, lorelai, id love to settle down, but the law says i cant be caged wolf howl aaawwwhooooooooo thats really got to be sandler in a wig. laughter before you condemn the counties, what theyre doing is in the name of tolerance. Some employees feel uncomfortable mar cringe two men or two women. A spokesperson saying, it could cause discriminations down there with those who are uncomfortable. We wanted to elimnate any unfairness. Jon we dont want to cause uneasiness of people who chose to be clerk. I can spot a county clerk a mile away with my clerkdar come on, you live in a state where at any given moment theres a hurricane going on. Why are you so focused on gay people tying the knot . Ig the biggest thing is its the end of gender in society. Jon one thing florida has his tore quli is strict preservation of gender roles. You as the lady are the sprayee and i as the gentleman is the sprayer, as the lord intended and as god said to atom, use colder water for let there be head lice lets talk about some of the fine citizens youre trying to protect from the blight of legal samesex marriage a florida man caught trying to trade an alligator for beer.

Buddy, step away from the gecko no she told me she was a frog i swear made me think of that reptile store. Where have i heard of that store before . Two years ago the same pet shop hosted a cockroach eating contest where one contestant died after choking on an insect. Dude choked to death on cockroaches any other state, thats news. But in florida, its just one of the checkboxes on the coroners causeofdeath form. It speeds things along. applause so let me just say this, to any local florida officials who refuse to perform these ceremonies, you live in a giant cockroachinfested hootersdining, reptileabusing evergladesdraining electionruining, strippermotorboating, ballsweatscented genitaliashaped, 24hour mugshot factory.

Jon i do. Let me tell you something youre a candidate for a lizard beating. Jon no, no. laughter let me tell you about the great people of florida. What a wonderful sense of humor. laughter im honestly counting on the demographic being so old that they really by the time i get down there laughter yeah. Jon listen to this, lets start with agreement. May i have some water . Jon please, come on. I know youre a thirsty man. laughter marco rubio. Lets start with an agreement. You look very sick. Thats photoshopped. Jon is it really . Well when i stopped eating roaches about six months ago i lost a hot of weight, you know . applause jon you have a wonderful sense of humor. We thought we would have fun with it thats all that was. Let me talk about this, you want to restore you dont have a florida graphic up, right . Jon no, not right now. It really does no, no please. Lets continue. I have a new book called jon you have a new book. Yeah. Jon American Dreams restoring Economic Opportunity for everyone. But then theres a very interesting phrase at the end of it for everyone. Yeah. Jon explain that. Well for everyone. Jon well in this country we generally like to keep the Economic Opportunity separate. Yeah. Jon for people that already have money. laughter so the idea of restoring it for everybody, this is an exciting idea. Talk to me about it. Well, i dont know. Listen, i think weve talked about it in the book. Thats been my experience. My dad was a bartender in florida for many years, my mom was a maid. They were never rich. Never made a lot of money. They had a home in a nice, safe neighborhood but never were wealthy. Despite the fact they had limited education, they lived in a time where someone like them could make it to the middle class. I think thats gotten impossible for a lot of people. People open up the paper, the economy is great all the jobs are being created, yet they dont feel it in their own lives. Theyre a broken down car away from feeling disaster. And the question is whose fault is it . The abs is its not just someones fault, its an economic restructuring and our policies havent adjusted. Our country is different than it looked like 20 years ago. Jon dont you think some of the restructuring is some of the more powerful firms have been able to Lobby Congress and create, you know, a different set of rules for their economic i think there are many instances in which industries in the past, and i felt this when i was in the state legislature in florida, that jon youre going to move now, arent you . No, i love living there. We have no income tax. Jon what . You can move down in six months and a day. Jon sure ill be right there. I mean, what does it say about the state when thats the lure . No state income tax . Jon yeah your selling point is its free thats like, you know, the tunnel to get into new york city is 12 bucks. To go to jersey, free laughter thats how it is no no, it doesnt snow. Jon i like that. You should open with that. The free thing you should open with the snow thing. But the problem is, youre right. So one of the arguments ive made as well both in the book and outside is sometimes established industries will use regulations and laws to make sure that an innovative competitor cant enter the state. One of the examples i use in the book and i had the conversation with a course i teach at Florida International university, they were complaining they couldnt get uber in miami, and thens is the local commission under the influence of the medallion holders of the taxicabs have pressure from the commission not to open it up for a competitor and innovative getter to enter the state the point is and youre right, oftentimes established industries will use the mountain of regulations and laws to keep competitors from jon or create new ones that are designed to keep the bar of entry very high so that well get into area of controversy because people have different opinions about it. But in obamacare itself jon talking about the Affordable Care act . In florida we call it obamacare. applause jon i wasnt sure we were talking about the same legislation. Well, depends. Anyway, imagine you had a business where we could pass a law that says youre forced to buy this product. If you cant afford to buy it well subsidize it for you and if the business loses money well come in and bail you out. Jon so it would be like you made a product and the government says you have to give it seat belts. Thats a Public Safety thing right . Youre preventing people from dying in a car accident. Jon no Health Insurance were talking about two different things. Im talking about how Insurance Companies game the system so theyre getting bailed out jon i agree, its certainly a boon to the insurance industry. We have a seat belt law in florida. Jon oh, i say dont worry about it. laughter when we come back, there are some interesting programs in here that i actually think are really good ideas, ones i agree with. Youre not going to say it publicly. Jon no, im going to say it on the v tv and theres over 100 people watching. laughter the nissan rogue, with safety shield technologies. The only thing left to fear is your imagination. Jon welcome back talking to senator marco rubio. I want to get into specific policy. You introduced an idea i think is a good one, the earned income tax credit. Yeah. Jon one of the most popular things for people with children. Its an enormous help. Youre introducing a way to expand that program and to get the money monthly as opposed to well the earned income tax credit is something you can claim through your tax return and even if you dont owe taxes you can get it back depending on how many people youre supporting in your family and you have to have a job to claim it. We should do two things, one, to open it up to people who are childless so single workers can qualify and second, we should put it into your paycheck. Jon a page enhancement. For people make less than 25,000 a year up to a total of 40,000 in wage enhancement. The theory is id much more like to have someone working and subsidize that instead of collecting longterm unemployment. Jon most people on longterm unemployment would agree with you and rather be working. If you wanted to find a job for 8 or 9, you could but you wont be able to pay your bills and thats another problem in the country. Jon and id like to raise the maiming. This is better than raising the minimumwage, the wage enhancement. Jon now that weve drawn an agreement here rest do this earned income tax credit thing and raise the minimumwage. Suddenly, you have an enormous group of people that raise them sfs out of poverty, stimulate the economy. I think this is actually something we could agree on. applause 10. 10 will not raise you out of poverty. Jon but with the earned income tax credit. The concern i have about the minimumwage increase is we have been told by both the Congressional Budget Office and independent analysts that it would cost jobs and some businesses will decide youve made employees more expensive than machines and when you go to a fast food restaurant, you will order from a touchscreen and when you get to the window, the order will be right but laughter applause but the point is you make that person more expensive than the new tech knoll, theyll move to the new Technology Soon snore they will anyway because corporations are people but theyre sociopaths. applause but the point is this there are a lot of ideas like that that utilize Government Intervention in creating the conditions for economic success. Government has a role to play. Jon yes. Your base, your constituency, won that be more of a hard sell for you . Were not talking about anarchy. Theres a role for foft to play. Its not the primary role in economic life. The primary role lies in the private sector. Jon i understand. I dont think most people would disagree with that. Im just saying the rhetoric from the tea party seems somewhat resistant to even the earned income tax credit expansion. Wheres that money going to come from . People in the tea party are frustrated with the growth of government and unresponsiveness. The government has grown too big, too large too expensive, spends money they dont have, grows the debt jon the f you supercharge the credit, its expensive. Its not necessarily just app expansion, were transforming it into a program that we can deliver jon look at you trapped between two worlds. Its the same world. Jon the world of being active in government and protecting bush theres an unrealistic expectation that people want services, everything delivered, they want the money but dont want to pay for it. Thats always been the disconnect, i dont want the government involved, keep your hands off my Social Security that kind of things. Are there other individuals who make arguments that go too far left or right . Jon individuals . You work with them in the senate applause jon but for you to become president , wont you have to move to trying to and isnt it not necessarily this book doesnt strike me as that. I believe this is taking limited government and Free Enterprise and applying it to the challenges of the 21st 21stcally. We already have income earned tax credit jon like your Community College program you want to go to commercial . You have 5 minutes to explain the Community College program . 5 minutes. Jon sure. Where are you going to go . American dreams, on the bookshelves now. Senator marco rubio, ladies and gentlemen well be back with more. What makes thermacare different . Two words it heals. How . With heat. Unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. Lets review heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. The proof that it heals is you. With tmobile and iphone 6 you can make wifi calls beyond the reach of cellular networks.
