Marco Rubio in ABC This Week interviews for 2022 races
On Budget & Economy:
Supports emergency relief to be spent immediately
Q: Back in 2013, you voted against the relief bill for Superstorm Sandy. You said that it included extraneous items that have nothing to do with emergency relief. Will you make the same stand here? RUBIO: What I won't support is things that are
not emergency relief. What we're going to ask for Florida is what we supported for every other state in the country that's been affected by natural disasters, and that is emergency relief designed to be spent immediately to help the people affected now.

On Energy & Oil:
Produce more American oil and not buy Russian oil
This notion that banning Russian oil would raise prices on American consumers is an admission that Vladimir Putin, has leverage over us. Why would we want that leverage to continue? Why would we have someone like him to have the power to raise
gas prices on Americans which is basically if he cuts us off, what would happen in the reverse? I think we have enough that we should produce more American oil and buy less Russian oil or none -- actually, none at all.

On War & Peace:
A no-fly zone in Ukraine means World War III
A no-fly zone has become a catchphrase. I'm not sure a lot of people fully understand what that means. That means flying AWACs 24 hours a day. That means the willingness to shoot down and engagement Russian airplanes in the sky.
That means you can't put those planes up there unless you're willing to knock out the anti-aircraft systems that the Russians have deployed, and not just in Ukraine, but in Russia and also in Belarus. So basically a no-fly zone means World War III.
