Secretary of State Marco Rubio turned heads at President Trump’s Cabinet meeting with a lighthearted Labor Day joke. Rubio quipped that this holiday is the “most meaningful” of his life as he juggles four roles—chief diplomat, interim national security adviser, acting USAID administrator, and acting archivist of the National Archives. His remark drew laughter in the room, highlighting both the heavy workload and the humor Rubio brought to the moment.

00:00For me personally, this is the most meaningful Labor Day of my life as someone with four jobs.
00:04And so...
00:09It's true.
00:10Even in foreign policy, everything we did has to be pro-American.
00:13It has to make America stronger or safer or more prosperous.
00:16And there's just a few things I want to touch through.
00:19This thing about people getting married on Saturdays during college football season
00:22is a scourge, Mr. President.
00:24It's dividing families.
00:26I don't know if we can have an executive order on this.
00:28For me personally, this is the most meaningful Labor Day of my life as someone with four jobs.
00:32And so...
00:37It's true.
00:38It's true.
00:42But on the point of...
00:44You made it very clear from the outset.
00:46Even in foreign policy, everything we did has to be pro-American.
00:49It has to make America stronger or safer or more prosperous.
00:52And there's just a few things I want to touch through because it involves your team under your leadership making it happen.
00:57The first is, for the first time in the modern era, we are truly on offense against organized cartels that are pumping poison, killer poison, into our cities.
01:06And that's a team effort.
01:08It's Christie's team.
01:09It's Pete's team.
01:10It's Pam's team.
01:11And obviously, it's under your leadership.
01:13And by the way, we're getting incredible economic, international cooperation.
01:17Countries just in the last week, Ecuador, Paraguay, Guyana, Trinidad, today Argentina, all joining us or trying to be helpful in advancing this.
01:25And this just, you know, one thing is there.
01:27We're going to stop drugs from coming in and we're having record seizures.
01:30But another thing is to build an international coalition against the scourge on the international stage.
01:36The second is mass migration, illegal mass migration, which is dangerous for the country but harmful for American workers.
01:42What's happening on the border is essential.
01:44But it's not just what's happening on the border.
01:46And again, Christie and her team have been essential in this.
01:48We have countries all over the world that are actually helping us, whether it's through safe third country agreements,
01:53whether through it's stopping the migration flow from coming here in the first place.
01:57Incredible international cooperation.
01:59You're not, you've redefined our border.
02:01It's no longer just our physical border.
02:03We are doing things ahead of time to prevent this from happening and getting cooperations from countries that we've never seen before.
02:09And last, I would say, and Steve touched upon this, who, by the way, is doing a phenomenal job.
02:14Steve is both a great negotiator and he's also a nice guy, which are two tough things to pull off together.
02:19But it's incredible.
02:21But we both work for the peacemaker in chief.
02:23Think about it, how fortunate we are as Americans to have a president who's made peace a priority.
02:28And just since the last time we've met, there was a war going on in Cambodia and Thailand, between Cambodia and Thailand.
02:34The president just picks up the phone and tells them to stop fighting and within 72 hours the fighting had stopped.
02:39You know, there's no other leader in the world that could have done it.
02:41And the fact that you were willing to spend time to do that and to make it happen is, of course, essential.
02:46And then the war that didn't happen because of Azerbaijan and Armenia coming here to sign that peace deal,
02:51which is historic in so many countries.
02:53You know how many countries said, oh, that's never going to happen.
02:55It isn't possible.
02:56And it occurred, Mr. President, because of your leadership.
02:58And then on a point of personal privilege, I wasn't even going to raise it.
03:01I haven't even talked to you about this.
03:02It's a little controversial, but I think I need to bring it up at this time of year.
03:06This thing about people getting married on Saturdays during college football season is a scourge, Mr. President.
03:12It's dividing families.
03:13I don't know if we can have an executive order on this.
03:16It's the same.
03:17But it's really difficult.
03:18There's, you know, seven other months of the year that people can get married.
03:21So I just wanted to say that because it's very, very difficult.
03:26Fantastic.
03:27Thank you very much.
03:28Judd, please.
03:30Well, Mr. President, you've heard from around the table how people are grateful to have
03:35an opportunity to be part of this team, have an opportunity to work for you, and have an
03:38opportunity to serve the American people.
