Senator Rand Paul

No, I think it lasts a few more days.

The Democrats have to put on a show for their left wing.

So the socialist wing of the party is hitting them, saying they don't stand up for government subsidies, for government welfare strong enough.

So I think there's a rally this weekend in Washington.

The rumor is the Democrats have to put on a show through the rally.

Once they've made it through the rally and the left wing doesn't come after them and eat their own, then they'll capitulate and say that they won a deal and they'll open the government.

Yeah, I'm a no because I've been a no against the spending levels, but I'm a no for different reasons, not for partisan reasons, not for anything to do with the Obamacare subsidies.

I'm a no because both the Republican and Democrat plan offer us too much debt.

You know, I don't know, but we did discover today that the Coast Guard, when they interdict boats, it's a common thing off the coast of Miami and California, about 25% of the time, the boat that they board doesn't have drugs on it.

So they have made an error, but they don't kill them.

But we've blown up four boats now, and if the percentages hold true, did one of those four boats not have drug dealers on it?

If they all had drug dealers on it, you know, the first 11 they killed, what were their names?

What was the evidence linking them to being part of a gang?

So I think there's a lot of unknowns here.

And I don't think you can have a universal Coast Guard policy of just blowing up boats before they're interdicted.

There's, you know, decades long history of how we board boats.

We say haul.

stop, we will board your boat.

If they don't halt and stop, there's an escalation of use of force.

But we don't just blow ships up.
