and donald trump said that the reason he'd be be a better reform party candidate than pat buchanan is he was all about inclusiveness, and he did not like the way pat buchanan spoken about numbers of people including jews, blacks, gays and mexicans. what you're seeing now and you go to the rallies and you experience that -- and he's seen it himself -- is that when the crowd gets low, he loves to bring out the issue of who's going to build the wall, because the crowd goes nuts. it's a way to add something to the political perspective that people can understand and that they have a very visceral response about. and for him, that's very important. in fact, we spoke to a number of people who are talking to him about the decision to run for president, and when he talked about the issues that were really important to him, the relationship with mexico didn't really come up. in fact, a number of them were surprised when he talked -- he made the allusions to rapists and criminals crossing the the border in the first speech. >> one of the people who we spoke to who was closest to trump gave us s

i think it was pat buchanan. >> we have don through periods like this before where there was heavy emphasisaching americanism and there's one important fact that helps us understand why all this is happening now.ats ate his moment, have an unusually high number of foreign born americans. in 1970, only 4.7% of us were foreign born. as of 2013, 13.1% of us were foreign born. we haven't seen numbers like that since the turn of the last century, during the wave of immigration back then. there was a backlash back then. there was the rise of the ku klux klan in the 1920s. so, i think this is a normal have always ng, even though it overcome it. the point of nationalism is well taken. in many ways, the trump message is much more like the european far right, which is very explicitly nationalist than it is like traditional american conservatism. yes, sometimes american conservatives and liberals engage in it. this is a peculiar campaign in our tradition, compared to the europeans where they are accustomed to this. >> you are talking the change circumstances with the pace of immigration over the last

the white house called it the pat buchanan will indicate this by default financial problem. my guess is that didn't happen by magic. they may have happened because your mother works for the state for the state school board association. that is a u.s. senator. but you came and asked the government to get in your. so here we are today. i was just as uncomfortable with some of these questions is over there. i have to defend both my republican and democrat colleagues because you've asked for it. if you want to coming to washington in the state capital and lobbyists to make us buyand your stuff, this is what you get. you get a level of scrutiny and a level of treatment that would ordinarily grow my hair but you asked for it. i wish it weren't like that. i wish you could go make your stuff and i wish he didn't get government involved but that's not the world we live in. i have to defend every single question asked today and i wish i had questions of my own but i've only got five seconds flat so i'm not going to get a chance to ask. >> the time is expired. the committee will stand
