Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Rep.

| 0:00.0 | All right, day three of three in DC continues. I'm still Dave Rubin. This is still the Rubin |
| 0:11.5 | report. And joining me today is a Congresswoman representing Florida's 27th district, which |
| 0:17.3 | happens to be my district. Maria Salazar. Welcome to the board. Welcome to district 27. |
| 0:24.0 | I can't believe it. It's an old time melting pot. Yeah. It is indeed. I can't promise you |
| 0:28.5 | this is going to be a very combative interview because I told you when you walked in, I voted |
| 0:33.3 | for you. Everyone in this room voted for you. Thank you. Yes. Oh, well. You know, you guys are |
| 0:37.7 | smart people. And we're all pretty thrilled about what's going on. Now you live in my district. |

| 1:38.7 | 72% of my district that happens to be Hispanic descent. I mean, you need to help me brush up on some |
| 1:45.3 | of the fans because yes, everybody down there is Cuban. But we love the American exceptionality. |
