Rand Paul

And you say, well, why have things changed from where he was talking about regime change in the campaign?

Some of it's the influence of the people around him.

I've jokingly said we ought to pass a law saying Lindsey Graham shouldn't be allowed in the White House because I think he is a bad influence.

And Lindsey and I are friends.

We do okay.

But he's much more for a different type of philosophy for me.

I say we fight when we have to.

We fight when attacked.

That's about it.

I'm not too interested in fixing every problem around the world.

Look, we have a $2 trillion deficit.

We can't really go fix every problem in every country.

And sometimes when we try to change the regime and put better people in, actually we get the opposite.

We do, but the reasoning is mostly public.

Like we'll get briefings.

We've had briefings on the boats.

Like what do they say in those briefings?

So they say that – I'll ask, are they carrying arms?

Because it kind of makes a difference when they kill unarmed people to me.

And they'll say, yes, their arms are drugs and they're invading us with drugs.
