For some reason, Martha Raddatz seems to believe she is entitled to the minute details of a President with another President tete-a-tete, and she seemed to think it was up to Marco Rubio to provide them. Marco was not having it.

The way this clip closes out
Raddatz: “Secretary Rubio, we don’t know what any of that progress is”
Rubio: “Yeah, you’re not going to” https://t.co/gFUkTDQbT2

Martha is the last person Rubio would tell.
Good. Its not POTUS/SoS’s job to get NYC/LA/DC journos opinions on matters. https://t.co/qDdb6vCamv

Sec. Rubio has proven himself to be a formidable presence and a tremendous ally for President Trump.
Gotta love it. https://t.co/t2mxrMLDxB

It was beautifully brutal.

Raddatz is operating under a pretense of entitlement.

It’s not a pretense. She does feel entitled.

He’s so good at this. Rubio has really come into his own.

As much as everyone would love it to be a live pay-per-view event, these discussions only work best when they are conducted privately.

Not everything requires corporate participation.
Perfect example of why the ABC News is irrelevant to Americans.

Why do Trump cabinet members give the propaganda machine credibility by appearing on their fake news shows?
— John C (@joncukimon) August 17, 2025
It does allow them to shut them down publicly and in a humiliating fashion, like Rubio just did in this case.
No one trusts the media….

If they do, they should not.
Media is so entitled

Yes this is top secret. And the Democrat journalists have the audacity to even ask such absurd questions

Rubio is way too brilliant to take their bait.
Why does Martha Raddatz always sound so hostile?
She’s horrid.
Rubio … 🎤🫳🏼
he isn’t having any parts of her BS attitude. https://t.co/uccmz72guA
— Sheri™ (@FFT1776) August 17, 2025
Raddatz is hostile to any Republican. She’s not acting.
Secretary Marco Rubio takes it to Martha Raddatz in the kindest way possible.
I guess you have to shoot your shot but her question was ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/aN9W8oQ8oo

It was disrespectful, which is par for the course with Raddatz. If Raddatz cares about peace in Ukraine, she should be happy to allow for discretion.
