Sen. Rand Paul: Voting for Amy Coney Barrett, 2020, Afghanistan & Why Mayo Sucks

YouTube ^ | Oct 24 | Brad Polumbo

[RandFan]

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky joins the show to explain why he's voting for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. We also discuss the growing threat of "court-packing," and what we can expect from a conservative-majority Supreme Court.

Then we tackle the Democratic push to add Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. as states, and what it means for the balance of the Senate. We also discuss the 2020 election and how ending the War in Afghanistan and criminal justice reform factor into Senator Paul's support for President Trump. Plus, I ask the senator whether there are any areas, such as trade or immigration, where Biden might actually be better than Trump from the liberty perspective.

We round out the conversation with Paul's food take on why mayo is "disgusting" and how he thinks mayo lovers force their tastes on the rest of us.

[RandFan]

This is a great wide ranging discussion, last 30 mins!

[Dr. Sivana]

I never had a problem with Mayo; he was pretty likeable.

[RandFan]

Rand says he thinks the Dems will definitely make DC a state.

“it’s 50/50”

Hellman’s or Blue Plate.

[RandFan]

Rand is telling a lot of interesting stories.

He says sometimes Trump gets pushed into appointing people who dont agree with him i.e John Bolton. He said he was able to stop Bolton being Secretary of State with his 1 vote

I am Dutch and we eat a lot of mayonaise. With Fries, potatoes, snacks, chips. But the American brands of mayo are not that tasteful

[real saxophonist]

Mayo-Naise.

His spinoff didn’t fly.

Bummer.

I liked the guy as well.

[wally_bert]

Maybe I am somehow Dutch.

I put mayo on fries. Prefer tartar sauce.

[real saxophonist]

Oh, I forgot that! 8~)

[Sirius Lee]

Hellman’s. Stir in some chipotle powder and you have an awesome chipotle sauce. Goes great on grilled chicken.

Well, it wasn't my fault. I watched Grady when it was on. I can still remember the theme song (a bit of a New Orleans flavored tune)

[Buckeye McFrog]

I am 100% with you on the mayo there, Senator.

[Carriage Hill]

Try Duke’s sometime, if you can find it.

[Carriage Hill]

Here is PA Dutch Country - York & Lancaster counties - we put mayo on everything, except pancakes.

[bravo whiskey]

“I put mayo on fries. Prefer tartar sauce.”

Me too. Picked it up when stationed in Germany in mid ‘70s.

[wally_bert]

Even as a kid, used tartar sauce on fries.

Miracle Whip, mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
