Senator Rand Paul is responding to Obama's claim that the former president is responsible for the economy's success.

Paul says that the current state of the economy is due to the Republican tax cut. Right now, unemployment is less than 4 percent. Economic growth is above 4 percent. Paul says under the Obama administration, economic growth was under 2 percent.

"We have had the largest tax cut and within six months of the tax cut, all the sudden we're seeing economic growth," said Sen. Paul. "His (Obama's) people were predicting it would stay under 2 percent for ten years, so the dramatic improvement of the economy I think is a republican congress working with a republican president, to let people keep more of their hard earnings."

The Kentucky Senator was in Christian County on Monday, and also disclosed his thoughts on the anonymous New York Times op-ed writer. He stood by his initial statement where he said he believes lie detectors should be used on White House employees.

"You can't have someone who is privy to national security secrets who you're worried about being disloyal," said Sen. Paul. "The president's the Commander in Chief. If they disagree with the president they need to resign."

As the hearings for Supreme Court nominations wrap up, Sen. Paul says he is supportive of nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. In the recent confirmation hearings, protesters have been prominent in the chambers.

"It's a public meeting and both sides are allowed to come and express themselves, but you can't just shout everyone down, that's not the first amendment, and that's what these people are trying to do," said Sen. Paul.

The confirmation process for Kavanaugh continues with further discussion and vote from the Senate Floor. Sen. Paul says he believes Kavanaugh will be approved, and will be a good justice.
