U.S. Senator Marco Rubio appeared on the program Face the Nation to discuss concerns about hacking incidents involving U.S. telecommunications companies by entities linked to Communist China. The interview addressed significant issues related to national security and the potential impact of these breaches.

When asked about whether Chinese hackers have accessed Americans' phone call audio, Rubio refrained from confirming specific details but expressed agreement with a statement made by Senator Mark Warner. He described the situation as "an egregious, outrageous, and dangerous breach of our telecommunications systems across multiple companies."

Rubio emphasized that more information is being gathered and some will eventually be disclosed to the public. He highlighted the seriousness of the situation, noting its implications for national security rather than directly affecting elections. "It’s a vulnerability that no one imagined or anticipated, but here it is," he stated.

The full interview can be viewed on YouTube and Rumble for those interested in further details.
