[applause] >> on energy, we are the most energy resource country in the world. we have more b.t.u.'s of we have over 100 years of supply of gas, billions of barrels of reserves of oil here and we are the source of innovation and conservation in the world. the most transformative innovations is the internet was commercialized is the combination of two existing innovations that have around for a while and horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracking. we should be celebrating this phenomenal achievement, and we have. some states are choosing not to grow. it is they are saying in the debate, that is for other people and not for us.

in parts of new york, there is a huge opportunity exists for the restoration of economic .ctivity, people languish the communities young people grew up in our diminishing day by day as liberals decide that american innovation in this area is too scary. it creates too many opportunities, it may break the idea that somehow government is the solution to our problems. what should we do? president obama needs to approve the xl pipeline for crying out loud. [applause] this is the biggest no-brainer that exists. we should have rational regulation for fracking to make sure it is done responsibly, but do not paralyze it.

i do not think matt damon should be the president of environment protection. we need to create that thousands of jobs and billions of investment in our own country. [applause] we should open up federal lands and waters for drilling. there has been a significant decline in the obama years. getting oil from parts of the world that are unstable and could hate us or do hate us is a better strategy than developing our own resources and -- we should help mexico with the modernization of its oil sector. the objective should be energy secure with north american resources and american technology driving that change. we should let the market forces decide where to invest. do not resort to government venture capital because it is clearly an oxymoron.

it does not work. [applause] a real energy strategy would give us 1% additional real growth in our economy. it would create a burst of optimism that would get us right on track. there are other things we need to do. united states has a huge economic advantage over any other country in this world. i think of immigration not as a political issue, but economic issue. demography is destiny. an aging population with fewer workers mean slower growth. it means a growing burden on young workers. the slow-growing developing countries have all had decades of low fertility rates. japan, europe, russia, and now china feeling the devastating impacts of its one child policy. our fertility rate has dropped dramatically in the last few years. it stands at 1.8.

that is below break even. despite heroic efforts to have nine kids -- [laughter] eileen, it is clear you have done your part. no question about it. theold number of grandkids. net effect of this changing in culture of our country is that we also have a similar kind of challenge that the developed world has faced. i have a family experience in this regard. my wife comes from mexico. she is an american by choice. my beautiful daughter-in-law is from canada. immigration is part of our heritage. everyone has an immigrant experience they can share. immigrants are the economic engine of vitality. they make things happen. we need to make more things and

have more people focused on making things happen. as the number of businesses created by native-born americans declines, the businesses among immigrants has soared to 50%. in 1999, american scientists were granted 90,000 patents compared to 70,000 patents from sciences from other countries. 10 years later, more patents were granted to foreign-born scientists that americans. what do we need to do? how do we get out of the political realm and make it a high-growth income economic strategy creates opportunities for all of us? we need to do accept the fact that our immigration system is broken. it does not work. [applause] we are not enforcing the laws. we are creating distrust.

not taking advantage of the citizens that wait in limbo. it makes it more difficult for employers to get the talent that they need and it turns many ambitious people into lawbreakers. immigration policy must be grounded in the role of law. [applause] we need to continue to improve our border security and track down the thousands of people who overstay their visas. 40% of the people here illegally came through legal visas. a great country should be able to figure out who those people are and politely ask them to leave when their visas expire. getting here and staying here illegally should be much harder with greater costs than --coming and staying illegally. today, there is no legal immigration for a great number

of people. we need to have a comprehensive approach. border security itself will not solve the problem unless we make a path to legal status for those family- want to come. based immigration should be narrowed to reuniting family and minor children. canada has about 75% of its immigrants come economic purposes.the united states about 13%. we are the only country that has this broad definition of family. -- of family petitioning. we ought to be strategic about this as canada has and others have to create economic activity. work-based visas should be h1-beased based on needs. visas should be expanded, a path to residency should be made easier. a robust guestworker program for seasonal industries and many of

those industries -- it is crucial. for people who come in legally, a path to legal status should happen by paying a fine and learning english and understanding our own history. no welfare payments during the time of their waiting for their permanent legal status. no breaking of the laws. this is the path to a better place. [applause] those two policy areas alone done right would create a significantly higher growth rate for our country over the long haul. in order to sustain that we have to assure that the god-given ability of every child is fulfilled. today in america, that is not barely 40% of our kids are college and/or career ready by the time they complete their

journey to 12th grade. we spend more per student than any other country in the world other than luxenberg. i was told that norway is ahead of us. the simple fact is that we spend a ton of money for students and we have 40% of our kids thatlenge or career ready. does not relate to what you think because the high school graduation rate is about 80%. that means someone gets a piece of paper, but when they go to a college or community college, certainly they are not career ready. this is that tragedy of complacency in our country. we operate with a structure that looks similar to what look like what hundred years ago.-- to what it looked like 100 years ago. we have 13,000 plus public monopolies driven by the economic interest of adults and being the model for our kids.

we have an agriculture calendar for the times that kids go to school and we expect in 2013 we will get the kind of results that we need. we do not need reform. we need transformation. we need the courage to challenge every basic assumption of how this works. in florida, we started on this journey by raising standards and grading schools and eliminating social promotion and embracing every possible school choice program that the legislation would allow us to have. by focusing on early childhood literacy. by turning the system upside down, we went from the bottom of the pack to -- we went to 6 out of 50.on the fourth grade reading. we moved the needle.hispanics, african-americans, low income

kids, kids with disabilities, are all in the top five in the country today in reading scores, and math scores have seen dramatic improvement. you can move the needle, but you need the courage to make something work. [applause] the next big challenge is higher standards. in 1998 as a candidate, i sat behind a young man who was studying for the high school graduation test at that time. it was in eighth grade level aptitude. eighth-grade level. this kid was struggling. a baseball game starts at 3:00 and ends at 4:30 p.m. how long did the game go? he could not answer the question. [laughter] there is always a wise guy in nine innings is one of the answers possible. this simple fact is this guy

couldn't answer it that way, which would have shown a little quickness, perhaps. the sad fact is that thousands and thousands of kids in our country today through mediocrity and lowering standards and having excuses and saying it is not fair to have high standards for all kids because we are told over and over again and that result is that a 16-year-old kid not answer that question. how can he get a job? how can you expect them to be career or college ready? this is what is happening in new york and florida. we need to light up the scoreboard to challenge every basic assumption to move our system. high expectations for every kids. [applause] if we don't do this, we changed who we are as a nation.the basic american concept is if

you work hard and you play by the rules and you pursue those other dreams with a vengeance, you can do anything you want to be. if we skew the way the failure of education system -- a kid could have a dream, but they don't have the tools to pursue those dreams, we create two americas. one that is stuck permanently in poverty and the other that might live above all of us and quite that is not the america that conservatives believe in. we need to challenge the system to make sure that there is upward social mobility again in our country. [applause] the final way to secure a sustainable high growth and emerging nation kind of country, families matter. do not ignore the fact that our founders when they created this incredible country, they assumed we would be a self-governing people.

they assumed we could govern ourselves and the best means of governing ourselves was to have a committed family life that loves children with all their hearts and soul. there is an effort in the adult success to ensure that their children gain the power of knowledge and gain the virtues that allow them to be successful in life. that concept has been eroded dramatically. there is now this time in political correctness where we iannot even talk about it. don't know if you saw the census numbers of 2010. 42% of all babies brought into the world will be brought into a world out of wedlock. there is a dad somewhere, not the husband of the mom that is not living in the family and committed as all dads should be.

no country has been successful in that kind of environment that i am aware of.united states will be in decline if we do not have a conversation with civility, with compassion, with love and respect about families and their and portents. -- and their importance. there should be stability and passion and love and respect. i will not get into the specific details, but let me say that if we expect as that liberals and progressives suggest, whenever you hear the problems of family life like this, the default for the liberals and progressives are another government program. another set of rules and regulations.another higher tax of people who have higher incomes. we need to look ourselves in the mirror as a country and say, is this the most powerful entity in life. the fact that you came to this dinner is living proof of that.

the single most powerful political institution in america for success are committed families. that should be at the bedrock of who we are. [applause] now that i am a grandfather, and understand the old yiddish expression -- man plans and god laughs. i'm starting to get the joke. i do see things not in grays, but in black and white much more than i used to. not about the little things, but the big things. the big thing is america's future. will it go down the path of expectations with fewer opportunities? that is what politics is about in the next election cycle. there can be no middle ground on this issue. america is the sum total of the

choices that all of us citizens make. with every issue i discussed -- energy, immigration, family -- i have a bias choosing what america could look like five years from now, 10 years and now, 20 years are now, or even 100 years from now. that is how an emerging market nathion thinks. that is how we should think. president obama is not making good choices. on immigration he has not led. on foreign policy, it does not on theeven from behind. family, he has cap did to the special interests of the left. thankfully, we can reverse the bad choices as easily as the good ones. that is the work of the conservative party.and all good

americans who are ready to choose a new path and a new vision. a vision that welcomes economic growth and freedom in all of its forms. a vision that sees potential in every life and all new visions. a vision that america was once vibrant and optimistic and ready to grow. it can be that way again. america's best days are ahead of it. that is a vision that we will choose with your help. that can be a reality. thank you. god bless you all. god bless the conservative party of new york. [applause] >> tomorrow on "washington journal congo we will host a roundtable discussion on president obama's plan on climate change. zive and bob deans. "washington journal" live at

7:00 a.m. eastern here on c- span. this morning on c-span, we will bring you a live discussion of the supreme court's major decision during its 2012 term, and also chief justice john roberts as he sits down with fourth circuit judge harvie wilkinson to talk about the court in the concentration. guests include former solicitor generator -- general theodore olson. linda greenhouse and other supreme court scholars. john is 11:00 p.m. -- join us at 9:00 a.m. eastern after "washington journal." kentucky senator rand paul spoke at a south carolina republican fund-raising dinner friday in west columbia. he is introduced by south carolina representative mick mulvaney. this is about half an hour. >> thank you for doing this tonight.

i've been asked to introduce a friend of mine. there is aon, saying that if you want a friend, get a dog. it is a way to give you cannot trust anybody up there. i have not followed that rule precisely since i've been there. i have actually made some very good friends, some of my best friends. you all know and have heard, and i will tell you it is true, that trey and jeff and tim and i have become friends in the last couple of years. and the scoutmaster has become a good friend of mine. he is still a senior member of the delegation. i do have some good friends, but not many. it is difficult to make friends in washington, d.c. but tonight i want to introduce one of those people. talk is relatively cheap in washington, most of it anyway. some of that has been pretty good.

when i first got to washington a senator called and said, you have been doing some good work with the guys, and why don't you come and meet some of the guys on my side? and we started to get together once or twice a month to have dinner and talk about these issues. and senator demint and i would get together along with some others and talk about these issues. that is how we got talking about the fiscal cliff and the debt and those sorts of things. it is very rare that you actually see that talk go into action. that is where you learn where the real leaders are. we hear crazy things happening in washington, and there is a certain outrage. you call me or you call jeff and you are outraged about what is happening in the country. and you expect us to do more

than just talk about it up in washington, d.c. and there are very few people who do that. there are very few people would take the outrage that you and i share about some of the most important things facing our country and turn that into action. the gentleman i want to introduce you to today is a delmon who takes that outrage and those words and turns them into action. i now, you know what happened when he took a relatively simple question and, in my mind it was one of the great examples of action in washington, d.c. this year. he said, is it okay the for the united states government to kill u.s. citizens with drones? you would expect the answer to if the answer to that it's anything other than no, you would be, should be, and be outraged. the answer of was not know. -- not no. a lot of us actually went out and did something about it.i

don't know how long you talked. 12 hours, 14, forever. it has not been just on our individual liberties. it was not just in a filibuster. it has been on gun-control. just yesterday, this awful senate bill that got passed, the type of thing that rand stood up and took action against. it is highly unlikely that the republicans lost just because of i could also tell you how i beat him in golf, but then i would have to explain how his 13-year-old son beat me in golf, and i do not want to talk about that. you are about to see somebody was on a short list of friends

of mine. he's a great leader and a great senator and it is my pleasure to have him here in south carolina. my friend, senator rand paul from kentucky. >> thank you. he neglected to mention that it is a short list of friends, right? he alsoust a short list. neglected -- i do not know how my errors came up, but he -- none of his seemed to. we play every year with the democrats, and we are still pretty mad about this. we got 22-nothing this year, and last year it was 24 or four years in a row we have been beaten. they have got this one young pitcher, he was 32 years old, and he played baseball in college. and i say, look, democrats, you

guys love them -- regulations so much. we passed a regulation that your pitcher can only pitch for two innings? so far, have not gotten anything back from them on that. you guys like equality of outcome, right? maybe we need to get six hours per inning. and if y'all score six runs, maybe we should get six runs, but so far,fair. they are for doggy dog capitalism when you gets on the baseball field. i got up early this morning, and i could not find my cellphone. i looked everywhere for it, but i could not find it. i went in and asked harry reid i could borrow his phone. do you think the nsa is surprised to see harry reid and a republican gathering in south carolina? [laughter] i get a lot of my news from jimmy kimmel, and he said the president the other day was at a middle school. he was offering something for

free, which he usually does, free high speed internet. and it was kind of an awkward moment, because a kid walked up and said, "why, so you can read my e-mail faster?" [laughter] there was a little girl that wanted $100 and she said she would do good things with it. she wrote a letter to god asking for $100. the postmaster thought that was kind of neat, but where do i he mailed to the president, and the president said that is cute. and the president said to send her $5. and your parents said to always write a thank you. and she said, dear god, thank you for $5. but next time, do not send it through washington, they stole $95. and another one, a guy walks up to a woman on the street and

says, pardon me, ma'am, do you know that the president has pardoned the sequester and send it to portugal? and one after another they said, they deserve it over there. you wonder who is voting in the elections. and then one woman said, you heard that north korea is threatening bombs and doing weapons tests. you heard the president has sent them the sequester. and once again, they deserve it. we have a disconnect between an electorate who does not know what a sequester is, or where benghazi is, but we have them engaging in the debate may be, and showing up to vote may be.

on the sequester, we are actually winning the battle on this. the president said the sky is falling. the world will end. oh, my, we cannot possibly have this sequester, which is a cat in the rate of increase in spending.if you've seen the chart that is on tv. here is without a sequester. here is with the sequester.well, we survived. he said, we cannot have the self-guided tours in the united states, do you know what he did? he had an extra $250 million to send to egypt. we have extra money in a shoebox somewhere to sent to egypt.we sent f-16's to egypt. we have no money. the cubbard is bare, but we have money to send overseas.

when i see a mob on television during the american flag and chanting "death to america" i say, not one penny more. [applause] and the president said, where could we possibly cut? how will we deal with the sequester? we waited a year-and-a-half after the question was asked in 2011. a year-and-a-half later he says, what are we going to do? we have to cut out the air traffic controllers, the meat inspectors. your meat will be rancid. planes will be crashing into each other. we have a $4 trillion government and that is the first thing you're going to cut back i think people -- that is the first thing you're going to cuts? i think people saw through it. he is playing games. egypt has gotten over $2 billion this year from us. we are still sending money to pakistan.

pakistan imprisoned the doctor who helped us to get bin laden for the rest of his life, and what do we do? we say, oh, please release him, but here is another billion dollars. they do not understand that kind of leverage. they understand, don't send anything and they will release him. i introduced an ammendment that said, no more money to pakistan unless you release him. in my opinion, you should not send it at all, but being the moderate and i am, i said, we would give it back to you. you actually get all the back foreign aid that you think you deserve if you release him. i got 20 votes in the rest -- in the senate. i lost over half of the republicans on this and all of the democrats.but if you ask the public this issue, i frankly can't say that if it was a democratic fund-raiser in columbia, -- i can say that if this was a democratic fund raiser in columbia, it would not be this big, but it would be i think itore money.

is popular whether it is republican, democratic, or independent. in washington, it is the opposite. they still think no one will be our friend unless we send them money. the president of egypt, morsi, stands next to his spiritual leader who says "death to israel," who also says the israelis are descendants of pigs and dogs. i have an idea for another amendment, and so far they have not let me vote on this.they don't really like to vote on the things. why don't we ask president morsi to publicly recognize israel's right to exist before he gets another penny? [applause]

interestingly, nobody wants to vote on these amendments. we have also talked about what you could do to cut spending. if you do not rehire people retire from government, that is $6 billion a year. the year and a half you waited, that is $9 billion. we literally only needed about $40 billion. we are 25% of the way there. we spent $9 billion on air travel. one thing that galls me to no end is i will have people fly to washington and stay in a $500 per night hotel to have a meeting when we could have met in bowling green at no expense. we spend $9 billion on travel. i proposed that we cut 25% of that, $2.2 billion from travel and save the military being cut from travel. [applause] simply have competitive contracts.

in government, we do not give the bids to the lowest bidder, but to the lowest bidder that is using union scale wages out of chicago. we have a prevailing wage law that says, maybe the average car carpenter in colombia that makes $30 per hour, but it has to be $70 per hour. schools and roads being built with federal money sometimes cost up to 20% more. why don't we get rid of davis- bacon? it will save us $10 billion a year. [applause] but i don't think the president was really listening, so i came up with a few other ideas to get his attention. for example, we spent $325,000 on the robotic squirrel last year. why would we need that? scientists wanted to know if a rattlesnake would strike a

squirrel that was not wagging its tail. but they could not get into this world -- get a squirrel to volunteer to do that. $325,000 for that. we spent half a million dollars developing a unit to mars. if you have a child that is 26 years old and we were waiting for them to move out? it is the perfect job for that. there are a lot of government jobs like this. it pays 5000 -- $5,000, it was done in hawaii, two weeks. the prerequisites for doing the study were pretty strict. your kid had to like food. after spending $5,000 per person for all expenses paid trip to hawaii, they discover the best thing these college kids could that costith, pizza.

us a half $1 million. going say, you are not to talk about south carolina and talk about waste in the military, are you? there is waste everywhere. everybody who has ever been in the military knows there is waste. that does not mean i'm against national defense. it is one of the most important things that we spend money on. is it legitimate constitutional function it should be a priority. but that does not mean we write a blank check. we should audit the pentagon. that is to be audited? an insult to every taxpayer in the country. we should audit the pentagon. -- in and conn's budget, the pentagon's budget, tom coburn found this out, one of the great deficit hawks and waste warriors up there, he found $7 billion that could be cut from the defense budget.why? because many of feel a patriotic

vote for the defense budget, the people packet full of goodies. $7 billion. it had in it $1.8 billion for a study to develop roll-up beef jerky. i'm not sure how that is keeping the russians or others at bay. they had $5 billion in there to theyy a collection of fish. said i did not understand what they were try to do, which is true. i called it a bunch of goldfish, and they were actually golden fish. there's a lot of money being wasted in a $4 trillion budget. we could go through hundreds and hundreds of programs. one more, $3 billion spent to study monkeys on meth. does anyone think that they are not just as crazy as people on meth?that is ridiculous. but it runs from top to bottom throughout the government.

so the idea that we cannot cut, i think we are defeating that idea, and that is one of the great things about the sequester. we are surviving. what i do and across the whole budget so the defense is not get as much -- yes? if you do a 1% sequester across the entire budget, the budget balances within five or six years.it is called the penny plan. connie mack came up with this idea and a lot of people have endorsed it. cut 1%. we have a trillion dollar budget and you cut 1%? the reason is you cut 1% from a baseline of zero. everything they talk about in washington is a lie. the budget is going up. remember is about 5%. the debt commission -- $4 trillion was the minimum they were going to cut. but $4 trillion out of an increase of $9 trillion, if you

want to freeze your budget for 10 years, the cbo call that 89 trillion dollar cut because the spending is asked -- and spending is anticipated to go up to $9 trillion. so what we talk about is a baseline of zero, it is only about $30 billion cut, but cbo would call it $600 million a year because they plan on getting more money.we have to get away all the craziness with this. i have had a few questions for hillary clinton.[laughter] [applause] she has not really answered them to my satisfaction. i have a few more that keep cropping up and i hope that we can get her back. i, frankly, think she is not telling the truth. i asked her point blank, where we sending arms from libya to turkey to syria, and might that have had something to do with the terrorist attacks that have happened? she said she had never heard of

it. it has been written about in the "the new york times" 10 times and has been on fox news.these are all unofficial sources. maybe it is classified, but if it is classified, are you allowed to lie? that is what came up with the nsa recently were the national intelligence director kaine before the senate and he was promised -- came before the senate and he was prompted in called.senator wyden his office and said i'm going to ask this question, i want you to think about this question, is the nsa collecting any data on americans? and he said publicly, no. it is against the law to lie to us. what does that do? people said the leaks have damaged our security. do you know what has damaged our security? lying, because now i don't know whether i can trust them. [applause] they now say that there are 50 terrorists that we could not have caught without this secret

mining of american phone calls. but i watch what they say, though. they say, with this program i amor other sources. convinced that every one of them could have been gotten with international warrant. i am for catching terrorists. i have no sympathy for the tsarnaev boy. i would pull the switch after he but you can go after them after getting a tip. we had a tip on the boston bomber. the tip was that russia thought we might be a terrorist. interviewed him, and then maybe we cannot get anything from the interview, but then he went back to chechnya. we are mindful calls of america. we are up to our eyeballs in debt. we are not seeing the guy that has been tipped off to us. the underwear bomber, he was tipped off to us.

we still let him get on the plane and try to come over here. the tsa, do you think a 3-year- old american kid with spina bifida is going to blow up a plane? do you think a veteran who has lost both legs is one to try to blow up a plane?we humiliate our veterans by making them take their prosthesis off to go through the when you gobbling. to israel, they say hello, mr. pol, and it's not just me, they know who who ever ready is going on the plane. if you are in international traveler visiting from pakistan, you deserve more scrutiny. after 9/11, we had a special bushram for student visas. instituted this, and it was a good thing. from 25 countries we looked especially hard at your student visas. why? because 16 of the 19 hijackers were overstaying their student visas. was it profiling? yes, because only certain people are attacking. why do we use some brain sends to go after the people who are attacking us?

[applause] i tried to reinstitute this with an amendment to the immigration bill. i said, let's restart this targeted looking at student visas from certain countries, but let's also do it with refugees from other countries. we have admitted 70,000 people from iraq for asylum. i thought that was when you were escaping dictatorship. we have won the war and 70,000 95% of them aree. on food stamps. 80% living government housing. and 45% of them are unemployed. i am not against helping refugees. my church has helped people from bosnia, i have met and helped people from burma, but the thing is, 70,000 people who are pro- western, they should be in iraq making their country making a better country.

that is harsh, but that is really what should happen. we do not need them here immediately and all on government assistance. but we don't want to talk about national security with regard to our borders. the boston bomber, when we did catch the young one -- one was killed in a firefight and the other was wounded. the boston policeman came to speak at a fund-raiser and i thought it was important. you may not all agree, but it is worth thinking about. he said, when i got to the scene, it was horrific. i was applying tourniquets and trying to save people's lives. it is just hard to imagine people blown to smithereens. and he said, then we have got a stable and we were in pursuit of these two killers, and i was angry at them -- and i still feel this incredible anger. but he said, after the firefight and we captured them, we did not drag them through the street and beat them with tire irons. because we are civilized. it is what separates us from them.

this young man is evil. there is nothing good about killing women and children and think that will advance their religion or a political cause. he is going to get an attorney. he is going to be convicted and he will be punished. but it is better than sending someone indefinitely in other places around the world and not trying them. i am for getting information out of him, but indefinitely sending people there, or to give american citizens, is not the we had ao about it. bill that would allow an american citizen accused of terrorism to be sent to guantánamo bay without a charge, without a trial. there's been a time in our history when we did stuff like this, when a black man in 1910 would be strung up from the nearest tree if someone accused him of rape. there was no trial.

it was an awful time in our history. we took the japanese americans in world war ii and put them in concentration camps, an awful time in our history.the president says he is not going to do it. it is a novel concept to think that we're going to send an american -- an awful concept to think that we are going to send an american.think of who a terrorist might be. people who have cuts on the fingers, stand on their clothing, people like to pay in cash, people who have multiple weapons at home -- anybody in here? people who have weatherized ammunition. this is the list of suspicions for terrorism. do you think you might want a trial before you get sent to guantanamo bay? ,e do need to be careful.also think these ideas of justice are what branch is out and make us the bigger party.

finally, i would say what makes us a bigger party is ultimately, the message of optimism. there is a painting by robert bly and he said, you should paint like a man coming over a hill singing.i love the image of that. can our message be one of optimism, of happiness, of a man coming over the hill singing? when i think of what our message should be, i think of patrick henry -- give me liberty or give me death. i think of the passion of the founding fathers, of those who stood up for the fourth amendment, the first amendment, the second amendment, with passion.even when it is uncomfortable, even when we are talking about someone who is an evil person. terrorists are bad people. so are rapists and murderers. we give them all trials. we want to stand up for our system. when we become the party that stands up and proclaims our message like a man coming over a hill singing, then we will be the dominant party again. thank you.
