in kentucky, 70% of eastern kentucky vote forward donald trump but i don't think it had anything to do with the russians. it had do with the disagreement on the regulatory war on coal that cost us 20,000 jobs. so that kind of goes back to the point if she'd have had the e-mail on a government server maybe they couldn't have hacked in her e-mail. i don't know. there are a lot of things that needed to be looked in too. but i think we should let the election be over and there are winners and losers and let that be. and let's try to work on some things for the betterment of the country now. >> you sound very gracious about donald trump. you are open to rex tirlszen. you are open to his views on the cia. but of course paul, you and donald trump clashed aggressively during the campaign. our viewers may have forgotten some of this. but i haven't. and i want to play a little bit. >> first of all, rand paul shouldn't even be on the stage. he's number 11. he's got 1% in the polls. >> he isn't a person for whom we should be showing respect. he's a person for whom we should be showing disdain. >>
