Rand Paul Appears on CNN State of the Union- April 12, 2015

hall with a slight lead over him a hypothetical presidential match up into key slings Quinnipiac

survey finds Paul leading Clinton forty four to forty one percent in Colorado and forty three to

forty two percent and I'll senator Paul was touting those polls all week long as he announced his presidential I

trail in I senator thank you very much for sitting down with me I appreciate let's start with %HESITATION the news of

the week and Hillary Clinton announcing for president I over the past week you've been really critical of her when it comes to the issue of trust talking

about Benghazi talking about the donations to the Clinton foundation how far back do you think is fair game do

Monica do you think whitewater do you think the travel office issues and what should be in

the realm of that public debate now you know I'm not sure that I'll get to decide what's in the realm or not but I do think that there is sort of a history of the Clinton sort of feeling like they're above the law they

said they were going to take donations you know for the Clinton foundation during the period of time she was secretary of state and

there are questions whether they did since then there are questions of them taking millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia from

the sultan of Brunei countries that really have been abysmal human rights record and women's rights record and so I

she accepts money from a country like United stones to death people for adultery and realize that this

is then accusing women of adults are not women accusing then because the men of the only say in the legal system in Brunei so

it does really it makes it difficult term for her message to appear sincere when she's taken money from these foreign countries you

said that you don't get to decide but you do get to choose where you criticize her and where and where you don't have on how far back do you think is

there I think that %HESITATION her public policy in public life you know will be fair game I

some of your critics on the Republican side critics I know I do have critics on both sides that you know but some

of your Republican critics argue that you are actually to the left of Hillary Clinton on foreign policy that

she's more hawkish than you are here's the interesting thing is a line with president Obama whose for policies closest president Bob interestingly

many of the hawks in our party line right up with president Obama think about the big issues we've had a couple last couple years the

war that Hillary prominently promoted in Libya many of the hawks in my party right there with her they're only difference was in

you're going to let them know that my point is is that they are actually agreeing with Hillary Clinton and agree with president Obama's the war in

were made us less safe that it made radical Islam allowed radical I'm to rise up and Libya there

rebels in the Syrian civil war president Obama supported this Hillary Clinton supported and so did the hawks in my power only

they differ only under green I didn't support the arming of the Syrian rebels because I felt like it would make al queda and isis were I
