Rand Paul on Face the Nation.
President-elect Donald Trump has made it clear that he’s looking for yes-men for his next term in office, but Republican Sen. Rand Paul didn’t seem to get the memo.
The Kentucky lawmaker spoke on CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday, and firmly stated his stance against both tariffs and the potential of the military being involved in mass deportations.
Paul went as far as to call Trump’s proposal to involve the military “illegal” and a “terrible image” while talking to the show’s host, Margaret Brennan.
“I am 100 percent supportive of going after the 15,000 murders, the 13,000 sexual assault perpetrators, rapists. All these people. Let’s send them on their way to prison or back home to another prison. So I would say, all points bulletin, all in,” Paul said.
However, he quickly clarified that he and Trump disagreed completely on how these plans might be carried out.
“But you don’t do it with the army because it’s illegal. We’ve had a distrust of putting the army into our streets because the police have a difficult job, but the police understand the Fourth Amendment. They have go to judges, they have to get warrants, it has to be specific,” he said.
“So I am for removing these people but I would do it through the normal process of domestic policing.”
Later on in the conversation, Paul again went against the party line.
Paul, an occasional maverick in his party, spoke very passionately about his dislike of tariffs, going directly against Trump’s idea of a more insular economy.
“I don’t like tariffs, but then again I don’t like the president promoting tariffs. I think tariffs are a tax on the consumer,” he said.
He later added: “I will be vocal in saying that I think tariffs are bad and that international trade actually saves every consumer about $7,000 a year. So everybody in our country is $7,000 richer because of international trade.”
In an almost shocking departure from Trump’s messaging surrounding tariffs and international trade, Paul suggested globalism was the way forward.
“It’s part of one of the booms of post-war and post-industrial revolution. This amazing international trade has made us richer and we need to talk about the statistics and facts concerning the benefits of trade,” he concluded.

Moscow offers debt forgiveness to new recruits and AP sees wreckage of a new Russian missile
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine.The measure, whose final version appeared on a government website Saturday, underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly 3-year-old war, even as it fired last week a new intermediate-range ballistic missile. According to Russian state news agency Interfax, the new legislation allows those signing up for a one-year contract to write off bad debts of up to 10 million rubles ($96,000). The law applies to debts for which a court order for collection was issued and enforcement proceedings had commenced before Dec. 1, 2024. It also applies to the spouses of new recruits.Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inboxSee for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment […]
The Hayes Valley puppeteer, and his dragon treehouse
It’s not every day that one sees a dragon rising out of San Francisco’s fog. So when I saw a life-sized dragon puppet suspended from a treehouse in Hayes Valley, I knew I had to meet its maker. I slipped a note through the gate of the nearby Victorian and hoped the rain wouldn’t smudge my handwriting. Edward Winslow, a dad, dancer, and internationally-touring puppeteer of 20 years, responded. Winslow, now 64, had the Bay Area version of a storybook childhood: His mom, Marilyn, owned a toy store in Los Altos called Mud Pie and the Jester’s Eye, where she sold handmade Renaissance Faire toys.Winslow, at 11, would play with their stock of finger puppets, but it wasn’t until he moved to New York in the late 1980s that he picked up his first life-sized puppet. The rain did not deter Edward Winslow […]
One Of The Unhealthiest Beef Stock Brands Is Already In Your Pantry
