when the, when senator mike lee came out with this proposal that i was talking about for a child tax credit and reformers embraced that, they got some real serious pushback from more classic reagan republicans who said no, this is simply not the way to go. the republican party is not agreed on any changes they would need to make in their policies. jon: what about immigration? that is one of the hot-button issues of the hour? what do they say about that? >> that is a great question. this manifesto covers all these issues i just mentioned. it says nothing about immigration. the fact is there is no single policy idea that would unite republicans right now about immigration. remember, a bunch of them in the senate voted for "gang of eight" last year. the house is dead set opposed to it. republicans are so divided young reformers said look, let's don't go there. we don't have an answer to that question. jon: so it is, i don't know the philosophies of ronald reagan revised, that's what they're talking about, republican politics for a new generation? >> they're hoping to get past reagan. to

utah senator mike lee recently attended an event recognizing the 33rd anniversary of the economic recoverytax act signed by president ronald reagan. senator lee spoke from the ranch in santa barbara, california, where he talked about the future of the republican party and pointed at grassroots movements like the tea party. this is one hour. >> we are so honored to have each of you here today. a special welcome to our c-span audience who is joining us from the young american foundation tax cut celebration commemorating the signing of the largest tax cut in american history by none other than president ronald wilson reagan. the young americans foundation is committed to ensuring that increasing numbers of young americans understand and are inspired by the idea of individual freedom and a strong free enterprise with traditional values. as a principal outreach organization of the conservative movement, the foundation introduces thousands of american youth to these principles. we accomplish the mission by essential seminars and educational materials as well as internships and speakers to young

i think it's safe to say that rex lee helped light that strike for his son, mike. e gave his a unique hands-on experience and understanding of government up close. early on, senator lee developed a deep respect for the constitution and today fights to preserve america's profound documents in the united states states senate. before he entered the united states senate, senator lee received his undergraduate and j.d. at byu. he had two clerkships, one including for the not quite yet u.s. supreme court justice sam alito. he was an assistant u.s. attorney and then went back to the supreme court for a year under sam alito. he spoke at the center immediately after his 2012 election and then returned back in 2012. he really understands the importance of reaching young people with ideas. so it's no surprise he's been before an audience much more than his colleagues. i like what world net daily had to say about him. he was called the gop's renaissance man. >> thank you so much, daniel for that kind introduction. thanks to all of you better being here. it really is an honor to

republicans did, because some conservatives in the senate particularly ted cruz and rand paul and mike lee were saying look, we can't do this, they did quote-unquote, they refused to sign obamacare as we know at r beginning of this fisl year. the press accused them of shutting down the government. the fact of the matter the senate refused to pass the bill and president wasn't going to sign one, senate leadership and president and harry reid shut down the government and they caved and funded whole thing. they're not talking about making the slightest change when this fiscal year expires on september 30th. only way, without a filibuster-proof majority in the senate and majority in the house and president ready to sign legislation the only way house republicans could really do something if they use the power of the purse by putting legislative things into a cr such as end of fiscal year. clear they don't want to do that. it will not happen anytime soon. >> host: you next, louisiana from indiana. hi. >> caller: hi, pedro. i want to ask terry why are we letting all these people come over here i
