Construction, i know about recruiting companies in plants. Thats exactly what i would do in Eastern Kentucky and western kentucky. We have to diversify the economy. If you were asked to serve on a u. S. Senate, create jobs, steady committee targeted for and about kentucky jobs, give me one recommendation that you would mick to put people to work in eastern and western kentucky . I would work to put another toyota in Eastern Kentucky and one in western kentucky. I was there before toyota came to kentucky. I was in japan. I spent more than i quit counting after i had been to japan more than 35 times. Thats just an example. There are plenty of opportunities for us but we have to focus on kentucky rather than focus on running for president. Now, the senator has focused on running for president for the last five years and not focused on kentucky and the challenges that we have right here in kentucky. Senator paul, comment on that as well as on the jobs program that you if you were on the same work Study Committee in the u. S. Senate targeted kentucky what would you do . The biggest impediment that we have is debt burden and Regulatory Burden and tax burden. When you travel to Eastern Kentucky they understand why they lost jobs, its because of barack obama and Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton has said, you know what, shes going to continue to put coal miners out of business. It makes it very difficult for western kentucky or Eastern Kentucky to convince people that hes for them when hes for the regulations that have been killing their jobs. So you have to repeal the regulatory war, the regulatory war on coal, on the family farm, we have talked about farm rulations. Waters of the u. S. We cant keep federalizing everything but theres also a tax burden. We have the highest Corporate Income tax in the world. 35 . If we want to thrive and keep our companies from taking jobs overseas, i would lower that. Below 15 but i would vote for any kind of bipartisan movement to lower the Corporate Income tax and so to compete, you to compete on the things to doing business. Taxes are a big cost and regulation are a big cost and to the entire economy the debt is a big cost. Well, i want to comment on what senator paul said about bipartisan because he says that a bunch of time but the senator named him the sixth most partisan senator out of the last 20 years, the sixth most partisan senator. Now its really hard to get people to go along with you when youre an obstructionist. Its health hard to get people to focus on whats essential which is, yes, creating jobs. Ive done it all of my life. Ive demonstrated it, performance and experience is what counts. Senator. I would like to correct the record a little bit on that. If you look at my record, youll actually find extraordinary partnerships that ive had with people across the aisle. Ive worked with ron on privacy issues, half a dozen bills, we are working on a letter to the president right now. I have worked with corey booker on criminal justice reform. I have worked with Barbara Boxer on repatriot and i just finished working with progressive democrat from massachusetts on trying to help the drug problem, trying to allow doctors to see more people to step them down and get them off of heroin. So i think what youll see is i worked with harry reid on voter registration. When i believe in something, i dont let parties stand in the way at all and i have a strong record of working with people on the other side. Senator paul, dismantle the nations intelligence is dangerous, his word. The commercial on National Security and defense quotes donald trump saying rand paul is a disaster on military and defense, he quotes john mccain assaying you simply do not have the understanding of the threats of the United StatesNational Security and even new Jersey Republican governor Chris Christie said what ran paul has done the make this country weaker is a terrible thing. How do you respond to ad and accusations . One of the most important rights was the Fourth Amendment and it is really the right to be left alone. Justice brandies said the most cherished right among civilized men and women is the right to be left alone. Our Founding Fathers were word about the government coming in without a warrant. Police cant come to your house. They have to call an independent person who is supposed to be removed from the scene. This is the same as looking at your phone records. Lets say the example of the boston bombers, i think we should have done more to the look at the records. The fbi was tipped off and did inadequate job and didnt do deep enough dive on their records but at the same time i dont want to look at everybody in bostons record. I think you do have a right to privacy in your records unless theres probable cause and unless we individualized the search washington and the great thing about search warrants and separating the power, the police power is it prevents police who might be bigoted in any way on race, color, creed, gender, you name it, it prevents some of that bigotry from happening if you have checks and balances in the system, but if you simply say, oh, my goodness, we must do anything, im willing to trade my liberty for security, thats a real problem, franklin recognized this even from the very beginning, if you trade liberty for security, you may wind up with neither. So no, i think you can have security and continue to defend the constitution and we take an oath, i took it seriously to defend the constitution and i treat that as a very serious promise. Mayor gray you said in one of your commercials you will do what it takes to defeat terrorists. What is it that you will do . Well, one thing you dont do is what senator paul did in his first Budget Proposal which was to cut defense spending by 150 million or 30 . Now you notice he did not respond to your question about what these other colleagues of his within his own party had said about his record. He didnt respond because he knows they are accurate. He recommended reducing the military budget by 150 million. Now, when he started running for president he changed. Three years later he changed and he decided oh to then add to the military budget. Terrorism is a threat and it takes money and it takes funds to fight these threats. At home and abroad. And when we pull foreign aid which he has suggested from allies that also compromises our defend. It compromises our ability to defend our country abroad and then at home. We will not have Economic Security and opportunity if we dont have a safe america. To defeat terrorism you would i would encouraging our intelligence community, i would encouraging our defense investment in defense. That means smart, intelligent investments. Ive learned from toyota, the toyota Production System teaches you continuous improvement. This is what we should apply to every spending in government. Under what circumstances should the u. S. Send troops into the middle east conflicts and there are many today . There are hot beds and tender books everywhere, bill, we have to be careful but sending advisers, committing ourselves to advisers like we have in iraq, going into mosul today, thats a prudent and wise investment that america must make in order for us to be safe at home. I think the biggest thing that separates us on National Security is that you know hes endorsed Hillary Clinton and her Foreign Policy and her National Security ideas, but you know, i think shes a danger to the country. I think Hillary Clintons lack of defense in benghazi is inexcusable and shows terrible judgment and she should never be commander in chief and the philosophy of my opponent is a really bad mistake because she for six months kept pulling the security out even though colonel wood and the Security Team said we want to stay. The embassador was pleading for help and i asked her this directly in the committee, why did you do this, did you read the capables cables begging for help and she didnt have time to read the cables from embassadors. I put together three different budgets since ive been in office because when i ran for office i said, you know what, what makes me mad about republicans and democrats is they talk about balancing the budget but no one puts a pencil to paper and says this is how you balance the budget. I did and the interesting thing i found is that you dont have to cut military spending. If you look at each of my budgets over a fiveyear period, military spending grows, what happened to people caught in the liberal Hillary Clinton world is they say, oh, Hillary Clinton wanted to add a trillion dollars and youre only going to add 500 billion so you cut it 500 billion when in reality theyre talking about cuts and proposed increases. I give priority to the military. In fact, in the budgets after the sequester actually added more military spending, tried to give the pentagon the freedom to allow the money to be moved around in the pentagon so it can be more effectively spent. In my mind theres no more important expenditure than National Security. One of the few things under the constitution we must do but the difference is we just shouldnt pile on debt. The claim that you did cut is false . False. Somebody else proposed not me. If you look at the absolute numbers for all of my budgets over a 5year period military spending grew in all the budgets i proposed. Last comment on this. He said he was against it before he was for it. He even his colleagues in the senate have said that he would do more to destroy and compromise americas Intelligence Network than anyone. Now, theres Something Else that should be noted here and important to do it now. Senator paul has mentioned Hillary Clinton three times now that tells you that hes still obsessed about the president ial campaign hes still thinking about the president ial campaign, hes not thinking about kentuckians an kentuckians needs and challenges and problems, thats what im committed to. Hes not even agreed that he will serve a full term. I made a pledge, i will serve a full term and i will ask him now, will you serve a full term in the u. S. Senate if youre elected . You know the funny thing about hypocrisy is people come up with these things and its like, well, mayor, are you going to serve a full term as mayor, you are the one running for two offices if anyone is distracted its you. You have an enormous hole and youve been there eight years, youre talking about something that doesnt exist. And here you are running for two offices, why dont you take a pledge to do your job as mayor. You have a lot of stuff to do. You could keep busy for eight years. Well, you did run for president and for the senate, you made it law, you created a law that would allow you to move to senate and for the a hypocrite would be somebody that cite sizing someone while doing the exact same thing. [inaudible] i actually have performed in my job. You talk about budgets, i met a budget. I had a deficit, i made six years of surpluses out of it. I had a pension reform. 300million underfunded pension. I fixed it. I had Health Insurance, 40 million when we were costing 40 million and we were budgeting 20 million. We were losing 20 million. I fixed it. You have had 134 bills and none of them have passed. Actually i have 490 bills and im proud of that. Ive introduced more legislation than any other senator. Ive had 40 votes on the floor, more than any senator of my class in 2010 and weve been very active. I can tell you in the last six months three things that we got passed. Weve got the expanded doctor role in treating the heroin epidemic past, we were able to stop, you know, a Million Dollar tax on all the cities around lake cumberland. So also made 96 of my votes. Many people who ran for president and missed half of the votes. I made 96 of my votes. Some have said, im the hardest working senator up there and i think its probably true. Youre watching kentucky tonight where candidates, what are your stances on the growing student debt crisis and how do you plan to fix it, mayor gray . I think its a shame. More than 40 Million People in the country today that have student debts, average of 30,000 per person and thats a shame. At minimum, at minimum, those with these loans should be able to refinance them at a minimum. You know, an education is the framework for the rest of your life. It provides a framework. Now i have run into people across, young people across the state. One woman in louisville not that long ago, a month ago said she had gotten a masters degree, still hasnt gotten a job, though, she has a sixfigure debt. Younger people in other locations across the state is there a role for the federal government in the debt crisis that they face so many students . We need to get our arms around and we need to recognize that we have to work on problems like this. And get through this gridlock and get through the dysfunction that is represented so much in washington that despite what senator paul has just described as the reaching out across the aisle, thats not his history. And it is my history. Ive worked with republicans and democrats to get problems solved in lexington. Senator paul on the debt sighs crisis, what should government do to get involved in State University or private school . One of the things that we have done in reaching across the aisle is come up with a bill to allow students to detuct not only the principal but the interest. Many people were excluded because of their parents income or their income, they can only do it over a certain period of time. We would expand the eligibility for those who can deduct principal and interest on student loans. We would expand the ability to deduct it not just for a couple of years but entire career. You have a 50,000dollar student debt but make 35,000 a year you dont have the income to deduct 50,000 a year or two. You may need ten years, 20 years to deduct it. My bill will do that. The other side of the equation, everybody talks about trying to help students pay for it, we also ought to look at the price. Prices come down when theres competition. President obama who may opponent has endorsed, he has had a war on private colleges. We have many private colleges in kentucky and they tell me that president obamas war on them is difficult. They are suing them every day. They are putting new road blocks, they put road blocks in the way of private schools that they dont put in the way of public schools. President obama closed down the Accreditation Agency the other day and then really here is the kicker, some of president Obamas Administration retired and bought one of the universities after they drove the price down to almost nothing, then they bought it. They are making money. We have a lot of good private colleges in kentucky, thats part of the answer to have more colleges to drive prices down. The question from steve edward in todd county, he asks, we had a response on you from student debt, steve for the incumbent, what havent you accomplished in the last six years that and for you major what have you accomplished that your incumbent failed to establish . Debt is an enemy of the country and we need to keep working on that, there are bipartisan fault in republicans and democrats still wanting to spend too much money. Another responsibility we were given under the constitution is to only go to war when theres a declaration of war by congress. Hillary clinton who my opponent has endorsed, she took us to war in libya, i call it hillarys war in libya because she did it on her own. She advocating toppling assad. They want to do it wilynilly with unilateral president ial authority and thats not a good way to go to war and also leads to things that have unforward consequences, so for example, in wanting to eliminate gadhafi in libya, we now have isis controlling a third of the territory. In pushing back assad, isis has been released from the vacuum. 6million of fighter or more. They sent ten of them to war and i sort of tragically said to people, what kind of president sends 10 people to war . They were captured in 15 minutes. That doesnt happen if a country votes and becomes unified republican and democrat to fight a war. We have done that after 9 11 we were unified as a country. After pearl harbor we were unified as a country. One thing we need to do better and i will force votes on, is whether continue sending arms to country that are allowing arms to go to isis. Hillary clinton was aware according to Podesta Emails arms were going from u. S. To saudi arabia to isis and she did nothing about it. Thats one more thing why we should never ever let her go 10 miles from the white house. Senator paul talks a lot about balancing the budget and he never got it done. He never came close to it, really. Even though today is at 50 level than when Ronald Reagan was president. I had actually balanced the budget for six years and created five years of surpluses, i would work on doing it an getting it done. I would at the very beginning sponsor National Legislation for infrastructure. Its essential that we put our infrastructure at the top of the list. We are 20 by 2020 we will be a trillion dollars behind. The National Society of Civil Engineers has given us a d plus ranking, so thats got to be done and
