Marco Rubio: We've made this VERY clear...

Published | Video Starts at 14:18

This is a country where people are literally now eating garbage from the streets. But they have a company that controls all of the money making there that's sitting on 15, 16 billion dollars.

As long as the people who are in charge of it now are in charge of it. (14:18–14:23)
