Rand Paul: ‘I Have No Intention’ of Running Against Trump in 2020

KARL What would you ░░░░░░░░ of McCain s statement ░░░░░░░░ we re creeping towards ░░░░░░░░ situation where people are ░░░░░░░░ supportive of dictatorship in ░░░░░░░░ country Is that over ░░░░░░░░ top or is there ░░░░░░░░ concern Paul I think ░░░░░░░░ McCain s perspective is ░░░░░░░░ by his disagreements with ░░░░░░░░ Trump on foreign policy ░░░░░░░░ I were to look ░░░░░░░░ foreign policy I would ░░░░░░░░ John McCain has been ░░░░░░░░ on just about everything ░░░░░░░░ the last four decades ░░░░░░░░ advocated for the Iraq ░░░░░░░░ which I think destabilized ░░░░░░░░ Middle East If you ░░░░░░░░ at the map there ░░░░░░░░ probably at least six ░░░░░░░░ countries where John McCain ░░░░░░░░ advocated for having U ░░░░░░░░ boots on the ground ░░░░░░░░ McCain s complaint is ░░░░░░░░ re either not at ░░░░░░░░ somewhere or if we ░░░░░░░░ at war we leave ░░░░░░░░ soon So we re ░░░░░░░░ there soon enough and ░░░░░░░░ wants us to stay ░░░░░░░░ wherever we send troops ░░░░░░░░ that s a foreign ░░░░░░░░ that is at odds ░░░░░░░░ President Trump and also ░░░░░░░░ idea of engagement The ░░░░░░░░ of foreign policy realism ░░░░░░░░ think fits more neatly ░░░░░░░░ President Trump And with ░░░░░░░░ McCain the neoconservative label ░░░░░░░░ let s make the ░░░░░░░░ safe for democracy and ░░░░░░░░ re going to topple ░░░░░░░░ regime hasn t worked ░░░░░░░░ mean our intervention to ░░░░░░░░ the Assad regime has ░░░░░░░░ made the chaos worse ░░░░░░░░ Syria And if you ░░░░░░░░ to get rid of ░░░░░░░░ today I would actually ░░░░░░░░ about the 2 million ░░░░░░░░ that are protected by ░░░░░░░░ So I think it ░░░░░░░░ more a foreign policy ░░░░░░░░ And Trump and McCain ░░░░░░░░ on opposite sides of ░░░░░░░░ debate And I tend ░░░░░░░░ sympathize more with the ░░░░░░░░ that we need to ░░░░░░░░ We don t need ░░░░░░░░ continue to have regime ░░░░░░░░ throughout the world nation ░░░░░░░░ It s expensive And ░░░░░░░░ don t have enough ░░░░░░░░ to rebuild our own ░░░░░░░░ if we re rebuilding ░░░░░░░░ else s countries KARL ░░░░░░░░ just to clarify what ░░░░░░░░ said specifically is dictators ░░░░░░░░ started by limiting freedom ░░░░░░░░ the press I imagine ░░░░░░░░ agree with that Paul ░░░░░░░░ the thing is is ░░░░░░░░ don t agree with ░░░░░░░░ analysis and applying that ░░░░░░░░ the president I haven ░░░░░░░░ seen any legislation coming ░░░░░░░░ that wants to limit ░░░░░░░░ press I see President ░░░░░░░░ expressing his opinion rather ░░░░░░░░ in his own you ░░░░░░░░ his own distinct way ░░░░░░░░ I see no evidence ░░░░░░░░ anybody is putting forward ░░░░░░░░ kind of legislation to ░░░░░░░░ the press So I ░░░░░░░░ people you know this ░░░░░░░░ colored by John McCain ░░░░░░░░ disagreement with President Trump ░░░░░░░░ all is Everything that ░░░░░░░░ says about the president ░░░░░░░░ colored by his own ░░░░░░░░ dispute he has got ░░░░░░░░ with President Trump And ░░░░░░░░ should be taken with ░░░░░░░░ grain of salt because ░░░░░░░░ McCain is the guy ░░░░░░░░ has advocated for war ░░░░░░░░ He would bankrupt the ░░░░░░░░ And actually we re ░░░░░░░░ lucky John McCain is ░░░░░░░░ in charge because I ░░░░░░░░ we would be in ░░░░░░░░ war.
