If there were an ounce of courage in this body I would be joined by other senators… saying they will not tolerate this.

We must protect ourselves from jihadis without losing ourselves.
Rand Paul
We had people coming to our Foreign Relations Committee and saying, Oh, we need to arm the allies of Al Qaida. They are still saying this. It is a crazy notion. This is the biggest debate we should be having is is regime change a good idea has it been a good idea.
Rand Paul
On the Gang of Eight bill, there was no provisions really for extra scrutiny or safety for refugees. At the time the bill came up, two Iraqi refugees came to my home town, Bowling Green, Kentucky. Their fingerprints were on a bomb from Iraq. They were in the database, but we didn't pick them up.

The president began this program by executive order. He should immediately end it by executive order. For over a year now, he has said the program is illegal, and yet he does nothing.
Rand Paul
Because Republicans believe that the federal government is limited in its function-some have concluded that Republicans are somehow inherently insensitive to minority rights. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Rand Paul
We still need to secure our southern border. The other thing I would say is we need to secure who visits us in the country.
Rand Paul
I would have handled it differently than the mayor of Baltimore, that's for sure. I think it's a mistake to say, hey, guys, you can pillage the city for a while and we'll let that go, and we'll be sort of standing back. I think it's also important to know some of the underlying causes of why there's unease in our country.
Rand Paul
The president's rattling the saber and beating the drums may have an effect.
Rand Paul
I also think regime change in Syria is a bad idea. And that's an ongoing question. It's one of the things I like about Donald Trump, one of the reasons I endorsed him is he thinks regime change is a mistake. But John Bolton thinks completely the opposite. They are diametric opposites.
Rand Paul
I'm the leading voice in America for not arming the allies of ISIS.
Rand Paul
My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.
Rand Paul
If there are few conservatives in the senate wing of the Republican Party that will say no to a budget that never balances, we could have the power to say to the leadership, you know what, need a better budget.
Rand Paul
The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
Rand Paul
Secretary [John] Kerry has called Civil War [in Syria] an unbelievably small war that we're going to get involved with.
