i ve heard some suggest that i should step aside and wait my turn. but i cannot. because i believe our very identity is as an exceptional nation is at stake and i can make a difference as president. all right. kasie hunt you had an interview with marco less than an hour ago and you talked some about his experience levels and some other things including music. tell us about it. reporter: indeed. one thing on the serious side first i would say, i think that there are questions about how rubio would stand up in the face of a presidential vetting process should he in fact become the frontrunner in this race. i think you ve seen a little bit of this with scott walker. he came under increasing scrutiny when he bubbled to the top of this nomination fight.
i don t think that s that s not political. he grew up in a time when all of us were listening to hip hop. reporter: he wanted pit bull to be at the announcement, but he was the one would knew he was actually in china. all right. kasie hunt thank you very much. there are so many great stories, mark halperin, of candidates that have claimed to be like jimmy carter he was a big allman brothers fan. couldn t name one song. in this case from everything i ve seen, this is skrengenuine. he s cooler than your average u.s. senator.
radio candidate, con receiver difference coal cone conservative candidates. i don t think rush has for given him, but some has. donny deutsche joining us. and also with us casey city kasie hunt. what did he say about comparisons to both barack obama and the man he considered his mentor and possible opponent? can we hear kasie? she s got this ventriloquist thing that she s doing. here we go. try again. reporter: am i with you now so rubio was on his way back to washington here at the miami international airport. i stopped to talk to him a little bit about what you guys were talking about earlier with the ad that the rnc ran essentially accusing the now
not have mattered so much if rubio had run in 2008. kasie, stay with us if you will. but i think it matters eight years after barack obama s experience at least in the opinion of this republican and a lot of other republicans, he s taken a really bad situation he inherited from george w. bush and made it immeasure bringshasurably worse. i think the question for rubio, how in the con test of the campaign does he prove he s ready to be commander in chief. is it speeches, meetings policy proposals? is it the crucible of surviving the scrutiny? he ll have to somehow convince people given his age and lack of experience that he s ready, not impossible but i say this as a guy that says marco rubio has the best chance to break out of any republican. so this needs to be put this context. but i just believe that there will be an lot of people that will say i really don t care what you did in tallahassee,
that changed my family s history. i regret that my father did not live to see this day in person. on use he used to tell us all the time [ speaking foreign language ] in this country that means in this country you will achieve all the things we never could. welcome back to morning joe oigjoe. here we go. joining ultimate conversation, jeremy peters and kasie hunt is back with us with more of her interview this morning with marco rubio. they were up early. quite a get. yes. good job. so let s just start there then. the man time magazine once called the republican savior is now pledging to lead the nation into a new american serptptember
