A Short Bio on Rand Paul
Senator Rand Paul, M.D. is one of the nation’s leading advocates for liberty. Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010, Dr. Paul has proven to be an outspoken champion for constitutional liberties and fiscal responsibility. As a fierce advocate against government overreach, Rand has fought tirelessly to return government to its limited, constitutional scope.
A devoted husband and father, Dr. Paul and his family live in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where Rand owned his own ophthalmology practice and performed eye surgery for 18 years. As a hard-working and dedicated physician--not a career politician--Rand Paul came to Washington to shake things up and to make a difference.
Dr. Paul has been married for 24 years to Kelley Ashby Paul of Russellville, Kentucky, and together, they have three sons: William, 21; Duncan, 18; and Robert, 15. He regularly volunteered to coach teams for each of his three sons in Little League baseball, soccer, and basketball. Rand and Kelley are both devout Christians and are active in their local church.
Rand is the third of five children born to Carol and Ron Paul. He grew up in Lake Jackson, Texas and attended Baylor University. He graduated from Duke Medical School in 1988. Dr. Paul completed a general surgery internship at Georgia Baptist Medical Center in Atlanta and completed his residency in ophthalmology at Duke University Medical Center. Upon completion of his training in 1993, Rand and Kelley moved to Bowling Green to start their family and begin his ophthalmology practice.
In 1995, Rand founded the Southern Kentucky Lions Eye Clinic, an organization that provides eye exams and surgery to needy families and individuals. Rand is a former president and 17-year member of Lions Clubs International, which is dedicated to preserving sight by providing eyeglasses and surgery to the less fortunate around the world. In recognition of his outstanding and sustained efforts to provide vision care to Kentuckians in need, Lions Clubs International has awarded Rand many of its highest commendations.
A large part of Rand's daily work as an ophthalmologist was dedicated to preserving the vision of our seniors. In 2002, The Twilight Wish Foundation recognized Rand for Outstanding Service and Commitment to Seniors.
During his free time, Dr. Paul performs pro-bono eye surgeries for patients across Kentucky. Additionally, he provides free eye surgery to children from around the world through his participation in the Children of the Americas Program. Most recently, he traveled to Guatemala on a medical mission trip with the University of Utah's Moran Eye Center. During the week over 200 patients, many of them blind with cataracts had their vision restored by Dr. Paul.
Dr. Paul's entrance into politics is indicative of his life’s work as a surgeon: a desire to diagnose problems and provide practical solutions, whether it be in Bowling Green, Kentucky or Washington, D.C.
Randal Howard "Rand" Paul (born January 7, 1963) is an American physician and politician from Kentucky. In office since 2011, Paul currently serves in the United States Senate as a member of the Republican Party. He is also a trained ophthalmologist and is the middle son of former U.S. Representative and physician Ron Paul of Texas.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Paul attended Baylor University and is a graduate of the Duke University School of Medicine. Paul began practicing ophthalmology in 1993 in Bowling Green, Kentucky and established his own clinic in December 2007.
Paul has been considered a supporter of the Tea Party movement, and a vocal critic of the Federal Reserve System. He has opposed NSA mass surveillance of Americans and supports reduced government spending and taxation. He describes himself as "100% pro-life" and has cosponsored legislation for the equal protection of the right to life from conception. Paul officially announced his candidacy for the 2016 U.S. presidential election on April 7, 2015.
He should have been our president.

#RandAgainstTheMachine
hate to break it to you but rand is the machine
Tom James hate to break it to you but rand goes against the machine
if by going against the machine, you mean being a stooge for the richest 0.01%, then yes. i agree
Tom James bottom line is that if he supports a smaller and less powerful government then that goes against the machine
and a larger and more powerful private sector. the machine is private power, and he is firmly on the side of that. at least the government is vaguely accountable for their actions. the private tyranny that this idiot is calling for wouldnt be
its only through "big government" that the fire service comes when your house is on fire, the police come when a crime is committed, you have roads to drive on, and your kids are put through school. if americans were a bit more open to "big government" maybe they would have a health care system like every other civilised country in the world as well
Well done Rand Paul, "your right should not infringe other people's rights". That is true Libertarianism.
That's the basic principle of Common Law. Most judges don't follow Common Law so you'll get the end of the stick.
True. So how about them corporations huh?
@@edgaraf9411 Don't buy from, or work for them. Crazy notion, right?
Very good speech. I hope Rand sounds like this more often.
Depends on who he is talking to. He is an actor
@@actualideas8078 imagine being fascist

@@actualideas8078 how?

Rand unintentionally explained why both of the major parties are broken; they both want to take all of your shit, just for different things.
Lol
Great points. Rand for President 2024
2020, Trump won't be getting re-elected after losing so much support.
Debra Sam Rand Paul 2020
Rand 2020
Trump smashed the establishment to pieces, Rand paul will come in 2024 and lead us to 1000 years of freedom and prosperity. We needed the one two punch Trump / Paul 2017 - 2033 : 10 Years of a Cold Civil war that ends in peace and prosperity , 6 Years of showing Americans what it means to be free and our principles return.
2020. I’d rather have him than Trump.
The Federal income tax must end.
joe schmo Don't you mean the Federal Reserve itself must end?
Considering it did not follow the law in its creation getting rid of it should be simple but it serves the government under the color of law so it will never end.
The 16th amendment needs to be abolished in actuality.
income tax is theft but sales taxes on non essentials are not...………………………...they're voluntary
We need the H.R. 25 Fairtax act to pass
I stand with Rand!
That's fine. But why?

@occams99 what?
why?
Not all of them. John Addams, for example. Was a total Fascist.
John adams was a confused resentful president. He just really hated Jefferson, who was an amazing president. He also was stupid and started the war of 1812 without restoring the army.
Love you Rand, this pretty summarizes everything I believe in. Since liberty is based upon personal responsability, you cant have a libertarian order without personal restrain, and the grow of virtuosism.

@@c.j.giordano2129 Jesus said "pay your taxes." And why do you think that was? Cuz we ain't perfect. Those who rule us and have wealth are supposed to give back some of what they have gotten.
This was such a perfect speech.
Man this guys level of thinking is on another level he’s looking from a deeper perspective and on all dynamics. He should have been president but his voice is echoching and he’s doing an amazing job he’s the real voice of the people
Rand Paul is a real patriot!!!!! Keep up the good fight Senator Paul.
As a native American who is spiritual and has seen what a moral compass people are speaking of.
I do think it is important for us to help each other. Let's treat people how we want to be treated.
What does being or not being a so called native american have to do with anything other than lending a false sense of racial superiority especially when anyone born in america is a native american?
@@David53D she was referencing a people who had society and civilization without big govt.
Aho!
boo fucking hoo. grow up and educate yourself. stop being a victim because your people weren't strong enough to stop conquest just like they did to other tribes. I'm so sick of native Americans acting like they were treated worse than anyone. grow up. shit happened. the fact that you hold onto it shows how weak you and your people are.
I am a Libertarian.
Mathew F Blackman what do you think about abortion? i think goverment should stay out of the woman's body.
@@juliarodriguez4572 a central principle of libertarianism is that people are free to do as they choose, so long as they don't infringe upon the rights and liberty of another person. A woman killing an unborn child is equal, in principle, to the murder of an adult, or a child alike. To assume that a woman's authority to kill a developing fetus, only because it is within her body, is equal to killing a disabled granfather because you couldn't afford to take care of him.
@@juliarodriguez4572 for this reason it is reasonable to assume that a libertarian government would be within it's limits to prevent abortion.
@ls7orBust prostitution is a destructive behaviour, but it is only at the expense and reputation of the people involved in it, no one's rights are being infringed upon. I believe a more important argument is that of the legality of suicide in a libertarian society.
@@decatessara5029 How is prostitution destructive? The girl makes some money, the dude gets laid. What was destroyed? The only thing that's ever been destroyed by sex in my life was a bed.
Fantastic! I’m speaking out these ideas now, Rand Paul is absolutely CORRECT.
I was Libertarian before i ever heard the word. It's exactly as he's describing and is only recognized by innately virtuous people. It's a matter of character and insight. Caring for others in the sense of caring for yourself. Not making yourself an enemy or a burden to others and getting the same in return. But also with a basic rule of law easily recognized by people of this sort and people not of that sort will be quickly removed and after a time the breeding would catch up to the population. It would take as many generations to gain as it did to lose our true selves. The words "self evident and self governing" weren't chosen randomly.
Then how come Libertarians hate taxes? Taxes managed well is caring for others like you would want to be cared for in a time of trouble. Only God and taxes can fulfill what virtuous people would want. Do onto others... etc. Even Jesus said pay your taxes.
Same!!
This man should be President.
Refreshing thought on Libertarianism...thank you, Mr. Paul
I agree with everything he said apart from his words on religion being the main source of virtues. The analogy he used to describe laws regarding rape and stealing works for religion as well. I hope and expect that fellow libertarians who are religious don’t rape and steal because of a fear of a god but because they know it is immoral.
I think that's what he meant. He seems deeply religious, and religious morals and beliefs are so tied together that they don't even think of them as separate most of the time
Jorgensen 2020
Anybody here in 2020? Just fantasizing about where we might be this very second, if we listened to him?
Here in Dec 2020 ... Switching from GOP because of Rand Paul!
Thank you for this clear and concise speech on the libertarian political philosophy.
Great speech! More people should listen to this.
can we hear the rest?
Amen! Rand Paul= Common Sense! All of America should watch this....
That's the guy I'd vote for happily yet the public is apparently too dumb to figure that out and continue to vote for nuts, sociopaths, and criminals. Ugh.
The LP really needs a strong candidate like Rand Paul, and big money backing like the Koch brothers. They could raise the party to national relevance that would challenge the monopoly held by the two party system we have now. I'm so tired of being told I'm wasting my vote by voting Libertarian. I refuse to vote for any party that wants to keep taking away my liberties.
Taxation is extortion by definition. I never signed your social contract.
Milliam Woody Absolutely.
Taxation is Slavery
Then leave
cgergel
To where?
+cgergel "Then leave" Well cgergel leaving to another slave master would be pointless and the USSA charges an exit fee based on assets if you don't pay you can't leave also if you just leave on vacation or just walk across a border and stay and work in another nation you get double taxed by that nation and the USSA unless you renounce USSA "subject" status which if you can't pay the fees for that surprise! you can't rid yourself of it.
🇺🇸👍Thank you !
Words of liberty here
Wow. That's great. i wish we had someone like him in Germany.
Big government, small people. Small government, big people.
Rand is brilliant 🙌
Future President!
Articulate as always. It rings of truth
As a libertarian, I always thought that libertarians all thought we still needed a lot of rules, but that government was not competent to enforce them.
Yes rules are important
@@newyorkpotioncastle u are a little on the down side i see
The rule of law is important. But there must freedom in that framework
Got to admit what I have now isn't liberty - where do I sign up !
Let knowledge grow from more to more and so be human life enriched
@9:13 "dang. That's it?! *scrolls for full clip"
So I've been a Libertarian all my adult life and I just realized it.
Love this speech!!!
Wish I had discovered Rand before today, I like what I hear.
Thank you
Yes sir love this
Well said it's refreshing to hear a common sense discourse from a politician.
I am an anarchocapitalist which is being libertarian.
Excellent talk!
Me: Check, check, check, check, check.
I love rand paul now. I'm tired of people like AOC, Marjorie T. Green, Lauren Baubert, and Beto O'Rourke.
Actually, having kids before you buy a house will keep you in poverty.
Brilliant!
His dad, Ron Paul, made me realize how great this country could be with libertarian principles as our guide.
Where's the rest?
Yes, one of us needs to inform Mr. Paul that Libertarians do not have a five minute attention span; I, for one, would have listened longer.
This is my new goto Speech as a Libertarian
I came for a lecture on libertarianism, and received one on conservatism.
You can't legislate virtue.
Flawless.
He is the greatest spokesman for liberty today.
I hope he runs in 2024.
Love him!!
Okay, well said
Rand Paul would be a fine President.
You could find value and balance if done right.
Small government, morals and standards set along with the purpose for creation and bettering humanity.
Virtue for better morals and standards
Damn
Rand 2024
Wish he talked like that during the campaign...
Phenomenal
Why can't you be president? Why?!
Nobody wants you as a senator. We want you as president
Literally the only politician in the US govt I would back 100%
Your dad should have been POTUS! Im truly looking to change my voting status. Please prove to us why we should vote for you if you decide to run again. We need better choices for our country and for our grand children's future!
Where was this speech and what was the audience? Just curious; could be helpful to include in the description.

A great guy
Rand Paul, I have a very serious question for you. I'm a felon, when I was a "kid", I was pretty rowdy. I did wrong. Without exception, I knew I did wrong. I did my time. I haven't been in trouble in damn near 10 years now. You talk about morals and so forth... Hunting is the thing that kept me out of trouble. I still hunt, do you think I should go to federal prison over shooting some squirrels? I would appreciate it if you made a video on this topic.
I like Rand and his father.Both true patriots.
we shouldn't force people to be nice to each other, we must allow them to be nice to each other

Rand our nation needs you more than ever. We have nothing left within the institution of government. Every one of our rights are being trampled on and contested on a local, state & federal level. The majority of our nation is complacent in this and there needs to be someone to help turn the ship around before people come to a point where they’re tired.. I’d love for the ballot box to work out but we’ve moved past that, now everyone is on their soap box. When stating your case with your aggressor peacefully and cordially doesn’t bring the change that’s required for everyone to continue living comfortably then all that’s left is the ammo box.
Our Constitutional Republic is turning into Oligarchy being led by a small group of private interests that neither chooses to protect or recognize our civi liberties. People have stood idly by for too long giving up their freedom for the comfort of reliance on a system that does not have their interests aligned with the individuals liberty. I’d love to see you make a comeback and start pushing for election in 2020.
God bless
Rand will never live up to his father’s legacy
If you go by this idea of Libertarianism, the choice isn't pay taxes or not, he says it's about how much taxes you have to pay (i.e. government size). Who gets to chose how big a government we have? if the people do get to chose in that system, aren't elections the best way to decide, then aren't we already doing exactly that. The people that want a smaller government (libertarians) aren't getting elected because people want a slightly bigger government, equilibrium.
Sounds pretty good to me
The number one reason for poverty is the Central Banks controlling how the money is used ! ! ! !
The other number one reason for poverty is most, not all, Representatives, no matter their title, paying to play AND using OUR tax money for OTHER rather than our infrastructure and our Education, our PEOPLES in learning how to live with nature and STAY out of other Country's inter workings and their business. peace out

It's not about size of your oppressor or how localized vs centralized. It's not about what percentage is taken from you.
It's about consent.
