单集文稿 ...

  • Marco Rubio now has four jobs in this still-new Trump administration.

  • Can you name them all?

  • You know he's our Secretary of State.

  • That one's easy.

  • You maybe heard that last week he became the president's new interim national security advisor?

  • Hmm.

  • I wonder what happened to the last guy.

  • We don't talk about signal, no, no, no.

  • Also, Marco's the acting head of USAID,

  • which you might recall from early February when USAID was disappearing.

  • The fourth one's the toughest, though.

  • Marco Rubio somehow managed to become our nation's chief archivist.

  • Our biggest question today explained is...

  • Does he make four salaries?

  • I don't know.

  • We've been like there are people, reporters trying to find out the answer to that question.

  • All right.

  • But we still have a bunch of other lingering questions like how, why, what?

  • Answers ahead on the show.

  • And we're back, folks.
