Summary

Earlier this week, host Dave Anthony spoke with Sen. Rand Paul about some of the major issues facing the country including surging coronavirus cases and the ongoing legal and political battles over the contentious Presidential race. Sen. Paul took firm stances against states and cities enforcing more restrictions to combat the virus, claiming partial lockdowns and masks are not as effective as leaders and health officials suggest. The Kentucky Republican also backed the President on a handful of topics including his legal challenges in multiple states over the election results and the decision to remove a significant amount of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. Our conversation with Sen. Paul was long and we could only run a portion of it in our original segment. On The FOX NEWS Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation.
