Rubio noted he generally favors electronic and classical fusion but does not listen to country music, which he considers somewhat sad. Although his wife Jeanette rubio enjoys country, Rubio admitted he thinks most country songs are about heartbreak and personal loss.In the car, his wife frequently enough chooses the music, but Rubio occasionally gets a say. Rubio expressed admiration for Tupac\u2019s talent, recognizing him as a gifted lyricist and narrator. Besides music, Rubio discussed topics like foreign policy, conspiracy theories, and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) over military bases, emphasizing the importance of understanding what aircraft might be flying over U.S.airspace.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secretary of State <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marco-rubio\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"51\">Marco Rubio<\/a>\u2018s playlists consist of the thumping beats of electronic dance <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/music\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"473\">music<\/a> and what he calls late rapper Tupac\u2019s \u201cnarrative\u201d style while straying away from country\u2019s heartfelt ballads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rubio revealed his preferred genres during an appearance on <em>The Katie Miller Podcast<\/em>, hosted by White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller\u2019s wife, released on Tuesday.
