America. you saw the census report this week. more whites are dying than are born. under 5 years old, white people are a minority. one in six americans are hispanic now. you cant be a 90% white party and continue to be a national party. you cant continue to offend hispanics with your immigration reform policies. its not just talking about undocumented. most of these undocumented are coming over or crossing the border to reunify their families. when you say we want border security, youre saying w...

To put american boots on the ground as part of a multilateral implementation force, not an invasion force. an implementation force like we had in bosnia. in this case it would be more dangerous and difficult. we need to have other countries commit right up front to be willing to do it. and we need to protect the al alawi alawialoe whites. i think we need to agree that we need to have that conversation about an end game before we commit to anything specific in the near term. >> i agree about that...

Using the kind of language toure was talking about. to me, this is the contrast between these twos conferences. one is about values and ideas. what is what president clinton has dedicated himself to since leaving office. what do they do? they work on ideas, this he work on how do we bring forth good ideas and implement them. at the faith and freedom conference a lot of what we heard was about hate, what were against and not putting forth fresh new ideas based on values. thats a very important di...

This goes back to the first question and karens point about the internal struggle within the party to find that message, those messengers who articulate that message. youre right to a point you have voices who that may be their driver that the border means youre not welcome. but for a lot of republicans, a lot of mainstream republicans guys like me and others out there who see the party as it once was, a party of assimilation, border security is a part of the conversation. it is not the be all a...

There are many ways for the government to get the same sort of information, but do it on a way that is suspicion-based. that goes through courts. that gets meaningful review and doesnt sweep up a lot of innocent americans in the meantime. really thats the problem here. not that the government is spying on suspected terrorists, but theyre spying on the rest of us in the meantime. >> michael ohanlon, is the concern where this might lead as compared to where we are with this particular program or t...

Phone calls and the internet. just pass a law, pronto, that explicitly limits the use of such eavesdropping to anti-terrorism prosecutions and nothing else. beyond that, if cyber monitoring and telephone snooping is the price i have to pay in the fight against jihadists, so be it." would you disagree with the blogger that up until this moment in time theres been no disruption of any americans day-to-day life by virtue of surrendering any of the privacy that were talking about? >> i dont think so...

Of success over the years if trying to find some of the al qaeda operatives and others if places like afghanistan, iraq, pakistan and so forth. bringing the debate back home, again, were talking about american citizens, i do agree strongly with michelle on at least one point. we need to protect peoples rights from abuse of government. i dont think the abuses have happened yet, but i think they could. the safeguards are not yet clear enough. the rules are not yet clear enough. thats where the oba...

Of all the stuff weve done since 9/11 where weve had a lot of success over the years if trying to find some of the al qaeda operatives and others if places like afghanistan, iraq, pakistan and so forth. bringing the debate back home, again, were talking about american citizens, i do agree strongly with michelle on at least one point. we need to protect peoples rights from abuse of government. i dont think the abuses have happened yet, but i think they could. the safeguards are not yet clear enou...

They havent seen the evidence. you know, the other question is, could we also catch these sorts of terrorists threats through far less intrusive methods? this is really only one tool that the government has. there are many ways for the government to get the same sort of information, but do it on a way that is suspicion-based. that goes through courts. that gets meaningful review and doesnt sweep up a lot of innocent americans in the meantime. really thats the problem here. not that the governmen...
