that earlier today I talk to senator paul abouts 0:18 vote on Planned Parenthood and more 0:22 watch Senator Rand Paul thank you for your time this morning welcome back to 0:26 America's newsroom 0:27 now you go to a backup plan 0:30 what is it of always voted to defund Planned Parenthood will continue to do 0:36 so 0:37 I think the power of the purse is something we should use in fact that's a 0:40 congressional prerogatives 0:41 and the problem is we haven't really tried hard enough sake pressing on will 0:46 try to 0:47 attach it to appropriation bills the thing is is that 0:50 it is the responsibility is not unusual for Congress to give rules to the 0:54 president how to spend money 0:55 that's what we're supposed to do would you shut down the government over this 0:59 if it comes back in the fall why I think that's a matter of perspective 1:03 I don't want to shut down the government but I do want to give instructions to 1:06 the President on how to spend money not just on Planned Parenthood but on a 1:09 thousand different items 1:10 I don't wanna fun still Obamacare I still don't wanna find 1:14 all the massive regulations that he's putting for to really the choices is the 1:18 president willing to shut down government 1:20 but there's a lot of other complicated factors which side can we get anything 1:24 out of the senate to get anything out a senate require six Democrats to vote for 1:28 it 1:28 so far this democrats are stonewalling every appropriation bills 1:32 it looks as if the democrats want a showdown and they may well want to shut 1:36 down 1:36 but they always play it to their advantage to show the republicans did it 1:40 and my point is I don't want to shut down 1:42 I think it would be the democrat shutting down government if they're 1:45 unwilling to accept 1:46 a republican majorities instructions on how to spend the money 1:50 let's talk about the vote yes in a few democrats butter with you Mark Kirk 1:53 Republican at Villa no it did not 1:55 did you expect that well you know I think there's always been a few 1:59 republicans who I don't side with us on this issue 2:02 I do think though that it's a bigger issue than just abortion this is about 2:06 taxpayer funding 2:07 have a gruesome procedure not just any old abortion but abortion a fully formed 2:11 Bay 2:12 be with the babies being manipulated turned around to harvest the baby's 2:15 organs 2:16 eggs sperm particularly horrific and I really think everybody should have voted 2:20 against 2:21 funding for this and I'll continue to fight against this funding 2:24 there's no reason the world we have to fund Planned Parenthood all 2:28 everything they do is already done by another government agency 2:31 community health centers with nine thousand community health centers 2:35 there's no reason for one penny ever to go to a hairy was talking about the 2:39 Republican absurd policies 2:41 well they're not really listening planned parenthood is this usual obvious 2:45 kiss 2:46 millions of dollars to democrats it uses millions of dollars a fight against 2:50 republicans 2:51 they're not objective and they're not telling you the truth the truth is 2:54 women's health 2:55 is taking care of my community health centers by five billion dollars we've 2:59 doubled the amount of money we put into women's health care to government 3:03 and so R you know it's just a absurd argument to say that we need Planned 3:07 Parenthood 3:08 it's only about abortion you're a kid your idea just to be clear as to 3:13 continue the money but just do with a different health centers 3:15 is yeah it that do not perform abortions correct 3:18 wide right now money already goes the community health centers we've been 3:21 giving up billions we give I think about five billion dollars community health 3:25 centers 3:25 that would continue and other plenty avenues in 3:29 areas for people to go for women's health care most two-step Planned 3:33 Parenthood says they do they really don't do anyway 3:35 they endeavor for ring you to a real doctor they refer you to a community 3:38 health center 3:39 mammograms aren't really done there exams are self-exams if you are a 3:43 doctor's exam you go to a doctor 3:45 so really Planned Parenthood about abortion and now we find out about the 3:49 grisly sale a baby's organs 3:51 so I think the public's with us on this there's some debate 3:55 over various stages have abortion and there are some pro-choice people out 3:59 there 3:59 but when he gets to fully formed babies in their organs 4:02 two-thirds or more the American public things is this is grisly and should be 4:06 home 4:06 supported by the Thai hillary Clinton has come out or to cut a spot to as well 4:09 talking about 4:10 women's rights and that's that's going to be a debate as we go forward 4:14 we will see you in Cleveland Ohio and we've been asking viewers on 4:18 on Facebook to file questions for the cameras here is one out of arkansas 4:24 carl wright 4:24 its what will you do to protect religious Liberty 4:28 in america you get that question what he say senator you know the Hobby Lobby was 4:33 a great case at this and I think Hobby Lobby was a big victory 4:36 and I think that victory are to be spread across the business fair to say 4:39 the government should be involved with business 4:41 and if someone morally object to something they shouldn't be forced to 4:45 provide insurance for it so I'm a big defender the Hobby Lobby decision a big 4:49 defender about the business is right to be left alone 4:52 centre thank you for your time Rand Paul in a washington DC today thank you 4:56 again sir
