Marco Rubio Discusses Personal Life, Diet on Katie Miller Podcast

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his wife, Jeanette, recently discussed aspects of their personal lives on Katie Miller's podcast.

Katie Miller is the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The podcast episode veered away from politics to cover topics such as Cabinet members' diets, pets, Pop-Tarts, and Rubio's attempt at the keto diet. Rubio described his perfect weekend as starting with college football on Saturday, watching "College GameDay" around 10 or 11 a.m., followed by noon and 3:30 p.m. games.

He said Sunday would involve NFL Gameday, with 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and NBC night games. Rubio stated that Pop-Tarts are one of the great American innovations in history, a point his wife, Jeanette, confirmed when asked about his diet. He also commented on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s commitment to a meat-and-sauerkraut-heavy diet, joking that he would not travel the world with a cooler full of sauerkraut.

Rubio recounted trying the ketogenic diet four or five years ago, describing it as a near-psychotic event due to sugar withdrawal. He joked that such irritability in his position could lead to bombing Paraguay. Jeanette Rubio confirmed her husband's experience with the diet. Rubio clarified that he is not against the diet but stated it is not for everyone. The podcast also touched on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's cat.
