I get that but at that point we had oh sh$t Covid and Trump stupidly listened to Lord Fauci and the rest and the 2 week lockdown was a game well played by the democrats!
@Mister Medister Sir.. look.. You are entire to your opinion but, if you follow up his conversation, it's all about to protect and defense his Nation ...US...ok... and I don't see nothing wrong with that.... Sir....!!!!!!
This entire speech without notes....Rand Paul knows what he's talking about...hes intelligent...loves our country....and not afraid to stand up to anyone.
If he really thinks 98% of the world was living in extreme poverty before 1820 he can not be intelligent at all, sorry. Because that is not only false it is an utterly outlandish claim to make - facing 5000 years of human civilization.
@@dorothymaciver1849 No, he's not. He's a fucking fucking liar, like all republican politicians, they're all in it for themselves, they don't care about their constituency. They only care about their donations.
@@lloydmunga4961 Best social commentary i know: Hbomberguy. Also funny af, tbh. Is this random? Oh yes, absolutely. Yep. Yeah. But does it matter? Education-recommendations may be random, but whatever.
He would make a very good president. Leading the country by EXAMPLE. The flaw of most presidents in other countries is that THEY DO NOT LEAD THEIR COUNTRIES BY EXAMPLE. They seem to be unaware that the people in a country most often pattern their behavior by the leaders of the country. Don´t blame the people.....blame the leadership.
I agree Rand Paul has more common sense than 99% of politicians. Just a dumb Kentucky boy, lol. My liberal and conservative friends would vote for him. Logic is a helluva drug.
@The Wraith Both parties are responsible. Most Republicans are just as corrupt as Dems. Still most of the guys in government that have my interests at least somewhat at heart are Republicans. I don't like the party but i have no choice because the Dems are just so much worse.
His father ran in 2012. The RNC or w/e they are called did not let him debate even though he had the numbers to qualify for debate. Had to write him in, was the last vote I ever cast. The establishment only keeps people like this around because they make us feel like we got a man representing sanity. Same reason they keep AOC- she makes a number of people feel represented. That said, Rand seems like a guy who at least buys what he's selling. Obviously very smart.
I’ve written In his father for the last 3 elections; I plan to write In Rand for at least the NEXT 3 elections! (Although I doubt there WILL be 3 more open elections).
What a joke...You do get things in life for free, the USA and UK government have been helping themselves to the free things the earth has to offer for centuries but denies any other entity to do the same...hypocritical.......money surley grows on trees Rand Paul Lmao...even the paper you print it on comes from trees, fossil fuels come from trees, food comes from trees, and medicine come from trees...90 percent of our wealth on earth comes from trees...now you know why we have a good chuckle at your indoctrination and lies..pathetic!
Yes but he's missing it, most of the money is spent on medicaid and Medicare. Most of the debt each year is spent keeping sick unhealthy people alive longer. Obese, diabetes, cancer, elderly. Social security is depleted.
Yes believe the propaganda that tax payers don't serve their own money. Tax the 700 billionaires in this country and redistribute the money. They can take the hit.
"He only politician that speaks like the actual American people, and therefore just about the only that actually represents us" Who are you talking about? Bernie Sanders? If so, I agree. Republicans are scum!
Notice how people that tell the truth gets attacked by the left and that includes President Trump no matter how much his tweets hurt then they lied blocked him off fakebook and tweets and said what he didn't say
Rand Paul has suggested some of the most sensible solutions and no one listens. Donald Trump takes office, 19 million people on the ACA, so we have to keep something at this point even though the subsidy for every person on the ACA cost taxpayers $2,000 per month, that's just the premium, not the medical care or medications. So Republicans are fighting over a new healthcare plan. Rand Paul suggest, well we have AARP, about 100 million Americans over age 50. Certainly any health care company would like the business of $100 million people at a discount. No one listened, no health Care passed. Now we have Joe Biden that wants to extend Medicaid Medicare which we can't afford.
I remember when Bill Clinton took office and he said he was going to cut a whole lot of pork. Well he did find one pet peeve. The federal government paid some gentlemen 66,000 a year to taste pickles. So Bill did get rid of that job, and of course the Democrats and Republicans added a thousand more slices of pork. My understanding this bill could end up 10,000 pages no one will ever know was sent it have you seen it posted on the internet? Hell no and you never will
If you'd like to see everything going on in Afghanistan with the Taliban terrorist organization that has taken over the country, pre-planned. Gravitas news. WION, SKY NEWS. Gravitas you will find right here on RU-vid, Republic news these are out of India. They have been in Afghanistan a month before Kabul was taken over by the terrorist. Each day they murder people, hanging them from cranes. Little children starving stole some bread, they are roped to a pole until they die. In other words Afghanistan is back to 3 BC, or the way we found it 2001. We should never have given Afghanistan money convertly 1979, back then we saw it Muslim religion was better than communism, giving them weapons to shoot down Russian helicopters. Russia knew they were extremists in the seventies, took us a while to catch on like 9/11
Rand Paul sounds like a surfer dude with an occasional southern twang. But, he’s a brilliant man and I hope he’s the one to remove Fauci from his throne.
He is just as bad as the rest. They should be focused on how suspicious this whole thing is, not the success of getting people vaxt. Take that, and good. Luck.
@Chris Webb, He has a PHD unlike you. What do you think gives you your unfounded belief that you are more knowledgeable than an actual Dr. with a PHD? Is it your Associates Degree in gender-queer studies you received for your indebth research on why the proven science of Biology is racist and bigotry?
Why don’t more people listen to Ran Paul , Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz. They are good representives of common sense and they know what America needs. If everyone would follow their lead than we could fix most of these problems by the end of the year
@@cindyrenaker4025 because "we the people" are a bunch of shits. We're too worried about the most trivial shit that something necessary or beneficial for everyone we'd be too caught up in who can stroke their own ego the hardest. And they sit back n laugh
Rand, you are sane and so very good. The others who create this outrageous situation are insane and evil. Things don't go rotten and fall apart by mere chance. They are intentionally destroyed. Thank you, Rand. America needs you!!
His analogy of handing $5 to everyone in a room and watching the money flow is spot on. In no time, you'll have people who are "broke" and people who are "rich". It is just the reality of the difference between people and how they perceive value and wealth.
Joe Biden has proved in only 8 months that he is an utter disaster & failure as President of the United states of America!!! If this outrageous BBB bill doesn't pass, and it won't, BIDEN is FINISHED.
Pelosi is the wicked witch of the Left, and she is one of the people controlling Biden. But yes, all the Biden administration needs to go and stopped from ever having these positions again, considering what they have done in under one year!
A great man once said “ask not what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your country” and the People CHEERED! My oh my how far we have fallen.
I hope Rand Paul runs for president again. Articulate, smart, telling truth without belittling anyone. If you feel belittled by what he says, then perhaps you feel guilty. when he is explaining inflation, he is speaking about what we lived through in the decade of the 70's. Paying off the Vietnam war, rise in social programs, deficit spending. When he tells you that the interest rates will rise, I can promise you I have seen mortgages higher than credit cards rates for people with no credit score! We lived with double digit inflation!

It's time for Americans to band together, the left tries to stir discord and hate, if they can succeed in driving us apart they HAVE won. We, THE PEOPLE, should see their evil motives and use our own strategy, LOVE...WILL UNIFY US AGAIN, I FEEL MATURE AMERICANS SHOULD STOP THE INSANITY AND LETS START BEING THE EXAMPLE OUR YOUNG FOLKS SHOULD WANT TO FOLLOW... NANCYS HOUSE OF HATE IS NOT APPROPRIATE AND OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER FROM WE, THE PEOPLE.
You and your farther Dr. Ron Paul I've always listened to both of you and you both have always made 100% common sense fiscal responsible conservatives. Thank you both for your service and GOD BLESS.
That's the part that scares me the most .. .and saying people our easily replaced in the workforce .. when we no thats not true .. there's always some workers who our irreplaceable.. but what do I no ..
@@neverthree_putts3655 ...please it's been the RINO globalists that we are purging and calling out, just like Rand Paul here. Where is your side calling out the tyranny and corruption? Where are your cries of authoritarian overreach and abuse of power? We support some taxes and you call us socialists....ffs. We want the money out of politics and mandatory term limits.
@@neverthree_putts3655 Dude you need to chill, so far you are talking about scams etc, but you provided zero examples. "military fraud machine show the taxpayers how it is wasting OUR money" So obama 8 years are nothing to you? Dude literally created waves of immigration with how he dealt with syria. You cant blame this on one side, while ignoring the fact that your own side spent time being on tv shows (obama).
Shame on the Democrats, Shameful to the publicans that are following the Democrats . I will continue to pray that God lays his hand on you repent and do the right things. You make our USA frightening!! Please stop please stop voting for these they are out to destroy us. Thank you Mr. Paul and strong Godly politicians that have common sense and respect for those you work for.
Exactly. Or, I have a better idea, Nancy Pelosi, having access to a plethora of insider info regarding the stock market, for decades, is worth over $350,000,000 dollars, let’s just freeze her accounts, as she so freely supports the freezing of middle class trump supporters’ bank accounts, Obama’s, and the Clintons. That should clean up the mess they made. Since, being relegated to the fetal position for 4 years as the media beat us like dead horses with apparent, lies, about Trump, I recently discovered Trump didn’t even take a salary while he was president, was the first president to support gay marriage, from day one, and stood up to Europe, China and North Korea, cut taxes even, managed to produce the highest ever employment statistics among blacks and Hispanics, and wasn’t allowing drug dealers, illegal immigrants, and human traffickers across the border Willy nilly. 13 Marines, Navy and Army men and women who are dead today, would be alive as well, and I’m sure this matters to their loved ones. He doesn’t sound raysist to me. So, I think we can let him off. And we will just go ahead and keep the money Blinko plans to give to the terrorists. Let’s go BRANDON.
Hard to tell from your comment if you are for or against this dimwit. Please vote democrat if you want to save democracy. If you don't care about democracy exercise your right NOT to vote at all.
Exactly mate. Hands down Wilson was the worst president & biggest traitor. Truman was a big p.o.s. too. The Bush's, Obama, Clinton etc... ALL presidents are selected not elected (fdr even said that) they're all related, they all belong to the same satanic secret societies and just playing their given roles given to them by their satanic Zionist Rothschild puppet masters.. It's All a part of the Zionist satanic One World government and religion they want for the anti-christ to rule.
At this point it doesn't matter who we should blame. It matters that we fix it before our children or grandchildren have to live through our unchecked government spending
Completely agree. Sadly, we're so far gone that whoever replaces the current moron will have no chance to fix all of this mess. The ticks are well embedded in DC and around the country.
"Many people have simply been out of work too long, or took the wrong incentives. Or got addicted to drugs or alcohol because they weren't working." This one's for you, Hunter.
I've never been a Rand Paul fan, but I have to concede that this is the most logical and powerful information I've ever seen from him. Lot's of solid wisdom here and he was fair in placing blame on both sides for the spending. We do need to address these issues at some point with facts and reason instead of emotion and party loyalty.
@@alekstanton4715 You've got to be kidding me. Scores of conservatives have been censored while the Taliban has not. Seriously need to see some daylight.
@@alekstanton4715 Sorry, would never take advice from a position that believes men have babies, men should play women's sports, men can use women's bathrooms, defunding the police, pro criminal, anti-work, open border supporters, cartel enablers, and have a president that is officially mentally ill. Credibility matters.
treespirit 2000 and how did he vote for the defence budget 738 billion and the u s a is not at war . did he complain about that or was he so vocal about the 1.7 trillion dollar tax . the guy is a fraud
Until Paul gets on board with fixing the fraudulent election system, nothing else he talks about means a thing. He needs to grow a pair and stop being a parasite on those laying it all on the line to prosecute blatant election fraud. I'm sure he'll get on board when it benefits him on the day his re-election campaign begins.
@@beverlyanderson7924 while I do not know enough history in Rand Paul, and he hasn't been my favorite politician (I was a fan of his dad), you replied to my comment with essentially no argument to my comment about him talking simple economics, but rather you went on a totally different tangent. You seem good at using Google, but still no grasp on how an economy works.
It doesnt matter, THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN, unless you buy the $25,000usd a plate dinners, you opinion is worthless to them. sad but true, until $ is out of politics-we are universally fucked
So let me get this right. We are leaving 100s of millions in equipment behind and then sending cold hard cash to our enemy, really people that litirally cut us citizens heads off.
Thank you Senator Paul. I live in Texas and donated to your campaign today. My family appreciates the extordinary service you do for our freedom and liberty.
Give us a break. He's a grandstanding opportunist who rarely introduces legislation that most of America or his fellow Senators will vote for. He's the Senate version of Jim Jordan.
That’s exactly right but how? The government doesn’t care what we think because it’s silenced. We need a National peaceful protest in every city, town, street and front yard. Nobody could censor. The tsunami of voices of extremely unhappy Americans, hundreds of millions of people. November 6th is perfect. Let’s start the momentum. USStrong Together 🇱🇷
@@Walant55 Both representatives of the people. The hundreds of millions of Americans who are extremely unhappy with this administration and there horrific agenda. You being one in the minority who isn’t, tell us, what’s good now? What one thing has been good for America since November 6th?
@@alyssaamundson7264 I am with you there millions and millions of American people completely unhappy we need to start that movement. Please keep me informed
Then turns around and votes to increase the debt the second a republican is in office. The guy is a con artist and he's good a duping people that fancy themselves libertarians.
I watched a woman with three kids drop $100 on lottery tickets. It was obvious the kids needed shoes and clothes. Those kids give her $900 extra per month. The kids lives won't change much but it gives the parent a nice allowance to feed her addictions.
And in the other hand, a mother with a special child with 4 different medical condition, included autism... incapable to work due her, 8 years old child 26 surgeries received 76$, on food stamp, because she does not put her child’s father out of the equation.
Yep. I see that crap all the time. System "workers". They were taught by their own mothers to take advantage, and so on. How to work the system is passed down like a heritage.
I have seen many people between New York, where I lived 26 years, California, where I lived 3 plus years, Florida, where I now live 26 years, and a few other states, and other Countries where, people dress as poor as possible to panhandle on the streets and make very good money doing so. Sure Welfare recipients can actually afford more than rent. Sure... We live in a world full of scammers. That I know to be the most absolute truth about, PEOPLE.
Our tax increases have nothing to do with us. It's the gifts being granted to political donors from politicians that goes up every year. We pay for it. It's all a ruse. You would be surprised. We could rebuild America back three times with the money being given away by our "protectors".
If you knew ANYTHING about ANYTHING you would know that the republican's policies are ALWAYS to cut taxes for wealthy people and corporations. They increase taxes for the people who can least afford to pay. They oppose any programs that would help people. All you have to do is open your eyes and look at people like this idiot and McConnell, M.T.Green, Gaetz,McCarthy, Cruz, Boebert, Jordan, Abbott, DeSantis and of course DUMPH and you see horrid selfish stupid people who care about power not people. Look at Sinema and Manchin who are sleazy democrats who have sold out all of us out to the GQP.
Senator Paul. Thank you for standing up for Americas taxpayers and for being the voice of reason. We need to go on a budget not spend more. How about cutting back on spending by 5 percent and use the money saved to go towards reducing our debt or help negate inflation?
We should stop sending money overseas. How about taking care of our citizens first? Lets see our govt invest in Americans. Replace the funds you have raided from social security. Negotiate drug prices so we dont overpay for meds. Make America energy efficient once again. Less pork more steak.
This guy makes so much sense but nobody is listening. This whole congress, Democrats and Republicans are a absolute joke. Send these people home and vote in people with common sense.
Problem is,nobody with a brain,or rather a brain that isn’t a self service organ.The two party system and the way elections are funded is all stacked against the honest patriot that wishes to serve the public.I truly believe the US has lost its way,and we will never take it back from our over lords.Rand,as was Ron,are truly a rarity that is all but gone.
@@kipgibbs8323 This is why every American citizen needs to familiarize themselves with the constitution and what it actually says. Article five has a provision where the STATES go over the federal government to propose and ratify amendments to the constitution. We’ve had the power all along but the feds definitely don’t want the majority knowing about this.
Sen. Rand Paul and some Republicans talk sense . They care for the Economy and security of the country . Look at the in humane situation at the border. The democrats don't care about the Surge of illegal immigrant .
