And our country
Take the United States out of the UN, no need to be in it as America comes first. Close all American Embassies. We don't want to know what's going on in other countries. Take the military home and put them back into civilian life. No need for a large army just enough for the border. America won't be going to war over seas, so only need an army of a 100,000. America has a big Ocean, so no need for as many war planes, 50 will do, to watch over the border. If Russia did decide to invade the rest of Europe, America would be safe, as Russia couldn't reach the American shores or air space, as there is a big Ocean, between America and Europe.
THERE IS NO MONEY TO GIVE OUT!!!!!
There’s seem to be plenty of money to give out to billionaires in the form of tax cuts and breaks. That didn’t bother Rand
@@ssn2186And it not like we’re giving pallets of money either, likely it what the stuff we’re giving is what worth that amount. Like food and other essentials along with ammunitions and fuel. Or as some people say giving stuff that we already paid for and that was sitting in warehouses likely not to be used again.
Just think..Our govt is wanting to go with the digital currency & do away with the dollar...Our govt, can't keep their hands out of our 401K's and our ss#... One stroke of the computer keys, our bank accounts are gone. The govt, can't even get a budget done! Can you imagine them, being in charge of all our bank accounts?? I shudder to think..?
@@OneHouseofCards very true. Sending equipment actually saved us money because we didn't have to pay for this equipment to be decommissioned, saved on warehousing, and created room for new up to date equipment. Iceland was paying for shipping because they didn't have weapons or any other way to help so they foot the bill for all transportation.
@@ssn2186 you do realize that if we taxed billionaires/anyone over $400k 100% a year we’d still be borrowing trillions of dollars?
We the people are Really tired of coming LAST!
Money laundering in Ukraine? Corruption in Ukraine? Do the right thing. Outlaw lobbyists. Stop dark money.
Wondering how much returns to US politicians???
END THE WAR NOW
What war, we are not at war. We're still trying to pull out from the Reds Forever Weapons of Mass Destruction War, thank you very much. The one that really bankrupted the US and made the Reds massively RICH...
Yeah I agree, Putin should fully pull out of Ukraine, and the Russian people deserve a better leader than a tyranny who stumps his feet and threatens world peace for not getting his way.
Ukraine will not win against a super power like Russia. We are throwing away our tax dollars and there will only be more death. Ukraine needs peace talk with Russia @@OneHouseofCards
You just described USA/British deep state, Fed!
@@OneHouseofCards Yeltsen Made it clear as Oiligards were disasembling The Soviet Union many taking it to American Banks many Swiss accounts Yeltsen know Putin could retieeve some of it and enact revenge but both of them stated they went Bankrupt from controlling too many Eastern Block States I like How the People of Romania handled Nicolia Ceausescu

Thankfully France helped us during the war of independence or we may not even be a country today. Your logic is dogshit. The US stands against murderous autocracies.

Please put someone in prison lots of traders and Corruption in Washington dc
*Traitors
Put Rand Paul in prison, for funneling Russian money into US elections. Yes, his assistant was caught red handed with Russian money
You should look at his stock portfolio and you'll see that trader(inside) Is also correct.
The Republicans should tell us why they have given up on the US. I’m curious why they would let US power implode… they’ve already had a big hand in screwing our reputation. They should stop with the border talk if they’re not going to do anything about it. They will need Dems next time and the Dems won’t vote for anything like this if they’re in the majority. While the “red states”adjust their child labor laws to make sure they can employ their new migrant workers. Smh….Rand Paul surely voted for the trillion dollar tax cut… but he yaps every time anyone else gets cash. Only the wealthy “socialist” “welfare recipients” can get government assistance. Laughable…
@@svegan3191Is there even a single senator or member of Congress that doesn't apply to?
I don't understand why these people don't have to explain how they can have tens of millions of dollars or more on their salaries.
He’s telling the truth 🎉
Oh the American people ‘called’ because they didn’t like the idea of adding 1,300 border agents and fentanyl detection? OK Rand…more like Trump called. God forbid we vote on something that makes Biden look good 🙄
Good job Sen. Paul
Good to see there is a US Senator left and not a foreign lobbyist playing senator
No aid to Ukraine and Israel
Aid to Ukraine. They are being attacked. No aid to Israel. They are the aggressors.
This administration was to make a bill to permanently send money to Ukraine for the the years to come, so the next president can't do anything because is a bill pass . How about that?
Thank you Rand for standing up for us.. NO MORE MONEY TO FOREIGN NATIONS, AMERICA FIRST, SECURE OUR BORDER
What happened to the strongest border security bill we have seen in the modern age? Oh, it got shot down by conservatives who would rather see Biden fail than actually do anything about the border.
Us? Who? You mean Russia? Lol
When did caring for the survival of our own country make us "pro Russian" With that logic would wanting to give Ukraine 60 billion dollars when America is 34 trillion dollars in debt "anti-American? @@GroupHawk
@@GroupHawkchange your name to WARHAWK.
America first!
@@GroupHawksince when is Ukraine's border more important than America's border? We're being invaded right now. Ukraine has no chance to win this war. Let's negotiate a peace treaty.
Never give up the FIGHT!!!
What fight? He lost before he even started 😂
@@scorpianna420 LET'S GO BRANDON
Great Speech 👏
Thank you Sen. Paul God bless you!!
He'll still.vote for it so this is just posturing
@@maxpowers4767 He will not vote for it
I need money.
@dennismullus4581 No kidding, last night I wrote this very same thing on some site that was talking about how much money is being given away to all these countries. I just need money.
close the damn.boarder now we don't have money for our people
Go, Senator Paul, go!!!😊
Amen brother
His speech is never about concerned about the American people because he has voted against every bill was put on the floor to help the American people.
@@winstongeorge1341such as?

Give ‘em heck, Senator Paul ✊🏻! We’re behind you 🇺🇸
As a registered Democrate, I approve of your message

great job guys.

Rand Paul hand delivered a note (to putin) in Aug 2018
these people are transparently traitorous.
Thank you to those that are actually representing us. Thank you Mr. Lee, Mr. Paul and all else. Thank you.
It’s sad we only had Rand Paul and a few others understanding that they are Senators of the UNITED STATES, and not of foreign interests.
The overwhelming majority of the Senate, and the House too, should be against this funding, the useless “border security” bill proposed, and a bunch if other things.
Why was the border bill worthless? It would of ENHANCED security at the border- even the head of border patrol was for it. Now we’re even MORE behind with border security!
@@Marie1156 It wasn't good because it allowed to many illegal immigrants through the regular entrances. Biden left that out of his speech. And you clearly commented without watching the video. Where he addressed the bill as well.
@@Marie1156you need to read the bill. Hahahaha we both know a woman isn't going to do that. Sit down sugar you look cute when you talk like an adult awe.
The border provisions would of increased border patrol by adding 1,300 agents, build detention centers, and invest in technology to identify fentanyl smuggling- funny how Rand left those details out. Republicans said no bc god forbid they vote on anything that would make Biden look good. They want to keep the border chaotic for another talking point for Trump. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
@@DaveSmith-pm2yq It would of added 1300 border patrol agents, built detention centers, and invested in technology to detect fentanyl smuggling-Rand left that out of the speech. Republicans are voting against border provisions bc they want to keep the border chaotic. God forbid they they vote on anything to make Biden look good. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
You are a true patriot.
Thank you Rand Paul the people really appreciate your help God bless you
Thank you Senator Paul!
Thanks for voting against that border bill. Now we’re even more behind in border security 👏🏻🙄
Why are his speeches so logical and pragmatic but seemingly ineffectual in persuading America? It's like he's trying to talk down a jumper who's convinced they'll survive the fall.
Most people probably would agree with this speech if they were aware of it.
@@JackJackJack123Yup, most Americans aren’t entrenched in politics. 4 years of Biden and ridiculousness from leftists has woken a lot of people up though.
Because THEY will survive the fall, we are the ones who won’t
I'm aware of it. And I don't agree. Most people aren't trumpers so..
@@scorpianna420 Bro is an actual brainwashed bot. 💀
1. Serve the American taxpayers
2. Pay off current debt
3. Enforce our laws including immigration laws
4. Reject Socialism and crime
So you don't want schools, police, roads, parks, etc. Those are all socialist examples in our democracy.
You said socialism is bad I guess you don't want free medical .?
@@Michelle-yw1lv NOTHING is ever free. And the government is the most expensive way to do it.
Thanks for this posting. Yes, since we no longer have an industrial and manufacturing base in non lethal and productive products, lets boost our economy by increasing manufacture and export of killing and maiming and destructive devices and technology, and get more deeply involved in the murder of our fellow human beings as a way to increase revenues and jobs in the U.S. How sick! Thank you good senator for pointing this out, my fear is it's far too late and few will hear with attuned ears.
I love Rand Paul , hopefully he will be president one day.
He will change America
When his father was running the counter that log's how many times some one watches the video froze up And I wonder if it was a logarithmic attack on his campaign,
Trump Paul '24
We could have HOUSED & FED every single American, every Family and VET could have been provided their own home!
America FIRST! No more foreign funds!
NO MORE WHO FUNDS
NO MORE UKRAINE FUNDS
We do not need to be enemies with RUSSIA!
WITHDRAW ALL TIES TO WEF!
You are a hero, Mr. Paul! When I worked for the VA Hospital in the town I lived in many years ago, come end of fiscal year, we upper office staff were given a mandate. Our boss called a meeting, telling us to clear out the storage closets of everything....take it home if necessary. We had to show we needed more money by not having staplers, etc., on hand in storage. I imagined the whole government worked this way. Its wrong. Government should be a positive mentor, not negative. Thank you Mr. Paul for standing Strong against the evils at your level, the trickle-down is intense. .
Stop giving any of our money to non-citizens.
Permanent legal residents ( Green Card Holders ) pay all taxes that a citizen pay.
Wonderful speech! You are speaking for the majority of everyday Legal citizens!
Debt is bondage.

Love you Rand Paul! Thank you for working hard for Ky❤️
He will change us to a Russian ally cause he's a Russian asset
He has voted against every bill put on the floor to help American people
He has been working hard for all of us not just KY
They will take America down we want be a country Ryan Paul don't give up on our country
@@winstongeorge1341 Which American people? He has voted against most bills that taxes workers earnings.
Thank you Sen. Paul!
I think all government contracts, all foreign aid , and any money that goes out needs to have each entity reapply for funding. I don't think we even know where our government funds are even being spent. I think we would probably find enough to pay off our debt. We spend so much money foolishly.
Arrest all those that break the law and don’t follow current ones. Keep the fight Senator Paul, we need your kind in DC. No money for Ukraine!
Do you REALLY mean that or do you mean “arrest those who don’t agree with me”?
Well, Sir, you are correct... I live in Cleveland, Ohio and have not met ANYONE who thinks that money for Ukraine is more important than our OWN Borders!!!
And they still DON’t GET IT!!!🤪
Services should not be funded by debt - cut anything past revenue. Debt needs to be tied to investment (infrastructure is the most obvious, but even R and D in the military is EXTREMELY profitable for the American taxpayer) and have ways for measuring the return while ensuring it is paid off in the proper window. Resources are limited.
Love this guy
You cant investigate stupid,or stop people from playing the stupid card.its working
Russian bot/troll
The Defense Industrial Base of the US did need to be reinvigorated and reshored (and adjacent industries in the supply chain) with China acting up and CRI getting hot. But another thing to consider is this modernizes the US army even more. Send billions of dollars of old shit and all of a sudden you need to source 5,000 2024 tanks to replace the 5,000 built in 1992 that “cost” 20 billion and count as 20 billion of aid.
At least SOMEONE knows the actual bill. Rand Paul clearly never bothered to read it, not unlike Rep Johnson and the immigration bill. Never. Even. Read it.
All of these weird, uneducated comments make me feel like its nothing but bots. Mike Johnson killed the strongest border bill in recent history to deny Biden a win. They shot down aid to our allies that would have huge mutual benefits. This is absolute madness.
You are naïve. The US is behind technologically. The East has working hypersonic weaponry and a better GPS system so US assets cannot be hidden any longer which means goodbye aircraft carriers. The East has militaries that are larger because they are fully staffed. The US can't hire soldiers due to the bad conditions.
@oFinalSolution, but we want people to "stop dying!" djt
Does everyone know that we are paying for their cops, firemen and paramedics all the salaries of the teachers and the retirees as well?
Great speech Senator Rand Paul thank you for working so hard for this county
He's one of the vary few I have any trust in 😢
Cut a little bit of everything, it has to happen. They also need to stop giving away money we don't have.
We need way more non dem and non gop in government to give a better balance instead of the two parties voting just for party reasons, no regards for us citizens who they're supposed to be representing.
That's exactly why we are where we are. Identity politics. They always tell everyone who and who not to vote for. I would guess 80% of citizens don't even know who or what they are voting for.
Agree
Good speech finally that made absolute sense.
The monsters at wheel are so close to their utopia they must be laughing through tears .like texas this requires action now ,no more begging,
Ukraine is loosing the war and we send more Taxpayer money! How utterly Stupid!!!!!!!
AMERICA FIRST!!!!!
CLOSE THE BORDER NOW!!!!
NO MONEY FOR ANYONE ELSE!!!!!
At the end he makes an argument for the country to have one company in every industry to represent the country internationally to maximize economies of scale for competitive pricing - he also said he wants small government and private ownership to the max. This is the difference between a socialist, a capitalist, and a corporatist. The socialist wants that but all the ownership share to go the people and the capitalist wants to avoid that by having many companies in the country in the sector. The corporatist, which Rand Paul reveals himself to be, have no problem with the end result being ONE company owned by one person that takes all the ownership share - in this same speech, he says greed and human nature can only be controlled with incentives and yet expects that one person to divvy it up so all benefit when we know mad kings come along all the time and giant disconnect (how much could one orange cost? $20?). He had a lot of good to say but what a naive take on economic systems.
We need to help American and quite sending our riches to Europe. Seems like we taxpayers are funding the kings war and we are reliving history just a bit different but really still the same.
We are reliving the 20th century. The US proxy war in the Ukraine is an inverted example of the Cuban missile crisis. We are in real danger of WW3 which is something the US gov't wants. We are too weak to win though.
I'm disappointed that he can't say hundreds of thousands instead of just thousands. Rand Paul needs to be 100% honest. Also he shouldn't have to feel compelled to pledge loyalty to Ukraine or Israel
We NEED TO "Close and LOCK the door" FIRST!!!
The evil people in the Congress are Senators will be judged by our Heavenly Father and Son YAHUASHA Jesus Christ
Time to vote everyone out in both parties.
Never have I heard a more loyal conservative in my life. I listened to the whole thing, and I suggest that others do the same . Remember this when it is time to re-elect our representatives.
Why not do both . Its called compromise.
Look at cutting people's money that are not US Citizens.
Rand Paul is speaking to an empty room.
If every senator sounded like this we’d be ok
Like our Prime Minister said” the budget will balance itself”🤣
We have to get ahold of the University’s
This is very eye opening

Imma rant here. This is the first fucking time in 34 years Im going to listen to the actual news, and you're bitching about money to keep people away that are struggling. If we stopped that what would happen to the cons of this exchange that's currently here
No money any more to anyone!
We must to Fix up our own problems!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
There are people taking losses as a business motto
I whole heartly agree 👍💯💯
Wow! Amazing speech.
Stand your ground for American people! We have faith in you !
Who voted for the bill to piss away let them sell everything they have and drain their bank account to give the money away.

Everyone calm down everything is going according to the plan, I don't know what the plan is, I don't know whose plan it is, I am not a part of the plan, I just know everything is going according to the plan, so I will refuse to get excited about anything that either side says I should get excited about, however I will caution everyone to be careful about forcing me to get excited about things that I have no power over.
