'Mind-Bending Sign Of The Times': DJ Marco Rubio Pumps Up The Jam As Iran War Marches On

Secretary of State Marco Rubio played make-believe behind DJ equipment on Saturday as he tried to hype up a wedding crowd while President Donald Trump signaled his apparent distaste for Iranian efforts to end his unpopular war.

Rubio, per a video posted by White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, got behind the deck and held up headphones to his ear as the event’s DJ appeared to walk him through the process.

The clip shows the DJ clapping along to the song “Shiver” by John Summit & Hayla before he eventually shuffles offstage, leaving Rubio alone behind the tech as a group of men could be seen dancing to the music.

“Can you feel it now?” asked the song as Rubio, who seemingly didn’t touch the equipment whatsoever in the video, pumped his right hand in the air along to the beat.

“Let’s goooooo!!!🎶🎼🎵,” wrote Scavino alongside the clip.

Additional footage circulating social media shows Rubio clicking buttons on a laptop and mouthing along to the lyrics of “Feel So Close” by Calvin Harris as the track plays from nearby speakers, leading wedding guests to jump up and down in excitement, some with drinks in hand.

The videos arrive just hours after Rubio’s boss wrote on his Truth Social platform that he was reviewing Iran’s new proposal to bring the war to a close before noting he “can’t imagine that it would be acceptable.”

Rubio described Tehran’s negotiating team as “very good” and “very experienced” in an interview with Fox News’ Trey Yingst last week.

The president’s estimated $25 billion war — now over two months long — has cratered to historic disapproval levels similar to figures seen during the Iraq and Vietnam wars, noted The Washington Post of results from a new Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

With gas prices at an estimated national average of $4.44 a gallon, Diane Swonk, the chief economist at KPMG, predicted on ABC’s “This Week” that prices will go higher and could “easily break” records set back in 2022.

Social media users ripped the Rubio clip on X, with one critic particularly finding issue with Fox News’ presentation of the footage and another calling the video a “mind-bending sign of the times.”
