Rand Paul
To put everyone in government housing and food stamps and bring them in from around the world I think is a mistake. To give of your own money, I've given to my church. My church has helped people that came from Bosnia. That's a good thing.
Rand Paul
I'm a Reagan conservative. Reagan did negotiate with the Soviets. But you have to negotiate from a position of strength.
Rand Paul
The question is, how do we keep America safe from terrorism? [Donald]Trump says we ought to close that Internet thing. The question really is, what does he mean by that? Like they do in North Korea? Like they do in China?

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
As commander-in-chief, I will do whatever it takes to defend America. But in defending America, we cannot lose what America stands for.
Rand Paul
The First Amendment says keep government out of religion. It doesn't say keep religion out of government.

Rand Paul
For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, you don't build that.
Rand Paul
I think we've made the collection haystack so big, no one's ever getting through the haystack to find the needle. What we really need to do is isolate the haystack into a group of suspicious people and spend enormous resources looking at suspicious people, people who we have probable cause.
Rand Paul
How did the party that elected the first black U.S. senator, the party that elected the first 20 African-American congressmen, how did that party become a party that now loses 95 percent of the black vote?
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
I think we need to get to the bottom of it. And I think there should be an investigation [of hackers attacks] because in order to defend ourselves against other adversarial countries, we have to protect our information.
Rand Paul
Well, let's be clear, I'm the only one on the stage who actually has a five-year budget that balances.
Rand Paul
America's not the world's policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act.
Rand Paul
Gun control is not part of a strategy to defeat radical Islam or take ISIL down. However it is a problem back here at home. A million people have been adjudicated a danger to themselves or to others at the state court level.
