is el paso, texas. it's been that way three years running and it is 82% hispanic and 25% immigrant. so when we start talking about a post-racial america. we have to look back to our immigrant past. ins bad that people come here really girly, but if you are a mexican man with a high school education and you do not son,a father, mother, daughter, and you go down and apply for a visa, you will wait 125 years before your name comes up. if you are indian or chinese, you will wait between 20 and 40 before your name comes up. we can solve our border problems. we can solve what people like to call the invasion. all we have to do is go back to a market-based immigration system that says come here if

you want to work. come here if we need your skills and we do. >> my dance card is filling up. we will have you back. i guess some of you here will have to catch tammy, buster, bob, linda during the break and ask them for the names of those leaders that i wanted to put in nomination. we are up against our time. this has been a terrific panel. think stu linda chavez, bob , buster tammy bruce soaries.

stated, i'm a republican. a black dyed in the wool republican and i intend to belong to no other party than the party of freedom and progress. those words describe the mindset of a true public servant dedicated to the benefit of society beyond the party title and beyond the name. senatorsiana state the same.llory is when he asked why he made such a decision to switch he said it was the right decision because the individual must we free to pursue his own dreams, free from governmental control. senator guillory has been an example of leadership and distillate example for all public servants across america. he has dedicated his life through the vietnam war serving in the united states navy after which he obtained his law degree

right and a man who will die with his boots on, senator elbert guillory. ♪ >> good afternoon. joseph, thank you very much. that was extremely well done. young men like that -- [applause] i see some other young people in this room and i am heartened to see them. i'm equally heartened to see so many types of americans here , speaking oneer language, the language of many,m and liberty, but many colors of americans.

i'm happy to see you here. 14 months ago, i was a democrat. yes, once i was lost but now i am found. [laughter] for several years, it had been a difficult fit. i was having difficulty in the meetings that we held. i was having difficulty in the votes we were taking as the louisiana democratic party moved further and further to the left and just left me standing there. , the head of the louisiana democratic party, also a senator, said anybody who does not like obamacare would only not like this wonderful idea because of the president's african father. therefore, anyone who does not like obamacare is a racist.

andsitting in the senate the phone rings and it's my 104-year-old mother. yes, mother? "elbert lee, did you hear what that woman said?" heard.'am i " did you say anything like that?" i didn't. "are you associated with that? you better be careful because i don't want you to bring dishonor upon our family." [applause] i hung up the telephone and called the registrar of voters in my kantian within a couple of minutes i was a republican. -- i called the registrar of voters in my county. now that i'm here, what are we

going to do? 240 years ago, there were meetings like this held in america. america at that time was in difficult straits, as we are today. people met and talked with each other, trying to decide what we would do, how we would create, what we would create for the future. what kind of nation would there be? that is what we are doing today. minute, founding fathers, founding mothers, they created a vision of a nation where people could live in freedom, live without government breathing down their next, without government boots on their backs, without some government fingers picking their pockets and a czar telling them how to educate their children.

no government central to their under today's democrat organization, this vision has become a nightmare of government intrusion into every minute aspect of our lives. in the early days of the revolution, those minutemen were the warriors. it was their sacrifice, their energy that threw off the yoke of oppression of king george. today, my brothers and sisters, you, in this room, you are the minutemen. it is out of these days of oppression that we in this room must create a new vision of liberty and freedom, a new america of freedom. [applause]

we've had almost a decade of hope and change. it seems like so much more, so much longer. hoping for a job and trying to live off the change in our pockets. [laughter] know, the unemployment figures in the black community are so high, i have not seen black unemployment this five and the great depression. is happening in washington, d.c., is bad for all of us under any circumstance. brothers and sisters, we need to chart a new course for america. we need to set forward our vision of the new america. i have today to present to you 10 points that i think the new america should adhere to. first and foremost, america must continue its tradition -- excuse

me -- america must continue its tradition as a godly nation, a prayer full nation. godliness -- [applause] godliness is the birthright of america. prayers in school and public places have been set aside for too long. -- only- only prayer has the power to lift individuals, families, and nations from a select and disconsolate moments but we have let a small minority come into our house and stop us from praying. this is our house. this is god's house. we must take it back. [applause] a powerful military is very

important. with smartet marked spending. on this day to day, we have troops stationed in 167 nations. i did not know planet earth had 167 nations. that wean convince me have a burning national interest in 167 nations. across this world. [applause] effectiveart and military spending. we need a new law. any politician who advocate sending americans into some foreign escapade should have to first send his grandchildren or children to the front lines. if we implement that law overnight, the military will be much more effective because there will be far fewer fat, old

men jumping up and down trying to send our young people trying to send our young -- trying to send our young people in harm's way on just a whim. the third point for a renewed america, we should stop the war on children. we should outlaw abortion on demand. [applause] god gave life. life is precious yet 1.3 million young americans lose their lives every year to abortion. we need to put some viable function like adoption and pre-sex education. abortion on demand should not exist. [applause]

tax reform, first, we should stop spending taxpayer money unwisely. we should stop spreading it like butter across the world. a flat tax, a percent of income -- [applause] a percent that everyone knows and everybody pays and everyone pays their fair share. get rid of the irs forever. [applause] point number five, employment. every american should have access to employment, access to work. every american has the right not to work. and every american has the right not to eat. [laughter] are a caring, loving people, so we assist people who are in need but a bridge over troubled

waters should never become a road into the future for generations for anyone. to,rnment has an obligation through its policies, promote work. we did not bright enough about the work that has been done under bobby jindal's leadership. for four or five generations, democrats ran the louisiana and we were at the bottom of job creation and employment. development. bobby jindal came and we became republican. those republican policies have moved to louisiana from the bottom to number eight in the usa, a perfect example of republican politics, business-friendly politics

creating jobs. compare that to the policies of the democrats in washington, d.c. during the last two years, they put twice many people on social security disability as they have put to work. wice many as on the payroll. that a dead man with no sight could see that is a speeding car heading for a crash. we've got to stop that. the sixth point. gun ownership. a few months ago i was in washington, d.c. i passed by the white house. i didn't stop. i passed by the white house and i saw the secret service people and the weapons they use to protect the people that live at the white house. those weapons that they have are military style, high capacity automatic and semiautomatic weapons, exactly the kinds of

weapons that this president wishes to ban and banish from private american ownership. what duplicity. what hypocrisy! his family is no more important than yours. [applause] his daughters do not deserve manufacture safety and security than your daughters. if those weapons are good enough to protect the family living in the white house, they are good enough to protect your families. [applause] violence, the he vile language, the garbage in our video games, those killer video games and in a lot of our music, all of that garbage does not belong in a civilized society and it should be outlawed. [applause] we will never stop the culture

of violence including all of this shooting. we will never stop that until we outlaw the gar tpwhadge we are putting into our young people. it should be outlawed. [applause] the eighth point. reckless federal spending to have last 18 years must never again be allowed to destroy america's fiscal integrity and to endanger our future. $17 trillion debt is simply unacceptable. if you were bankrupt, sir, if you were near bankruptcy, you would say to your spouse, my darling, tonight, this weekend, you to do your own nails. i'm going to do the lawn myself and cook some beans tonight. you would do two things. you would cut back on your spending and you would pay down your debt. our president has presented a budget that increases federal spending 63% over the next 10 years increasing our $17

trillion debt to $25 trillion over the next decade. if we're having difficulty paying off $17 trillion, can you imagine almost doubling that? we're on a bad road and if this government goes down, it is going to take a lot of people down with it and there will be a lot of pain in this nation and in this world. we have got to stop the spending. [applause] ninth, public education. i'm a strong supporter of a proud graduate of a public school. public education has failed america. almost half of our schools are poorly performing, violent, disruptive schools. our students graduate and after they -- for those few who do

graduate, they are still ranked near the bottom of industrialized nations. it is a failure. we have got to do some things differently. we must make industrial education available to students starting at the sixth and sevpbt graced and give families more choices that will permit families to take their children out of violent badly performing schools, poorly performing schools and put them into safe performing schools. we must make that choice available. [applause] and we must remove the violence, the disruptions, those children from our classrooms, they deserve to be in therapeutic educational environments where their issues can be addressed, where they can be made whole so that they can become full american citizens. and while they are in that environment, the other 29

children in the classroom will be safe and their educations will not be destroyed. [applause] the 10th point in our vision for america involves the middle east. we have two interests in the middle east. oil and israel. let's talk about oil first. we do not need middle eastern oil. [applause] what we need is to let our drills drill over new lands, let them drill horizontally, let them frak, assist mexico to develop their oil industry and help them with jobs and help us with oil and now israel. we need to take from israel one mile of territory inside their border, completely around the border and then we need to take another mile of arab land around

there in that two-mile zone, we should station our troops. we should have anti-missile systems, anti-personnel systems. we should state to the world our clear commitment that no one can throw a rock or send a missile or a rocket into that zone -- that area of safety and fire. if we do that, we will protect the families of israel and we will make us much more safe here at home. [applause] warriors. hear me tonight. this is a war. this is war. this is not a time feint of heart or the queasy of constitution. we must -- when you walk out of

here, remember that you are not just the cream of america, you the hope of america. we have to fight this war with all of the passion and commitment and energy that we have. and remember, we fight for the glory of god and the nation of his children and remember that we fight to bring america back to the mountain top. god speed. god bless you. >> beautiful. thank you very much. [applause] guillory. louisiana's own. >> wednesday night in primetime we'll bring you coverage of the netroots nation conference. it includes discussion s of the super pack ready for hillary. here is a portion of thatel
