[cheering] have spent 55 years in law years and have , thes regarded my work mission is critical, but my most important mission has just begun, to help elect donald trump. [cheering] president of the united states. [cheering] the stakes are high. we need a strong leader who will stand up for america and put the interest of her citizens first. unfortunately, we are losing the battle. we're the only country in the world whose immigration system puts the needs of other nations ahead of ours. we are more concerned with the rights of illegal aliens and criminals family are with rejecting our own country. [cheering] -- protecting our own country. that must change. we need a leader who will protect our borders and enforce our laws because a nation without borders and a nation without laws is no nation at all.

to colombia with the armed services committee and my colleague from arizona, mr. gallego, whose mother is from colombia. it didn't take long for me to realize that colombia is a beautiful and fascinating country. and i was very impressed with the hospitality of the colombian people. it also became clear during my trip that the majority of colombian people want things to be better in their country, and they are committed to the peace process. mr. speaker, colombia is our closest and strongest ally in latin america. so the peace process is very important not only to colombia but also to the united states. their future opportunities are also ours. colombia has a growing economy with immense potential base on their abundant natural resources and a culture of very hard work. a more stable colombia will allow the country to further expand their economy which would be a benefit to us right here at home. at a time when there's so many foreign policy challenges around the globe, colombia is a rare success story. the country was literally on the verge of becoming a failed state but now th

morning. and travis was in phoenix, arizona. why are you supporting hillary president, travis? caller: i've always saw her as a very strong woman and as a guy man, we look at these strong women in our lives, and i wanted to run for president back in george w.bush and i just believe in all the work she had done for her life, that she bring so much good change for this country, and she's a woman with a good heart, smeared and used fslaughter and everything else. but i'm ready for her to be the united sident of the states. host: what did you think of last nit's convention? goodness, i'm a bartender so we actually played some of that in the bar last and michelle obama, like i had to step away from the bar for a moment because she brought me to tears. like michelle, the speech she gave last night, talking about kids and what she wants to see for their future. i am choking up right now. it's so incredible, and that's the future that we're looking for. not looking for the are ive things that trump talking about. andant to build our country make it stronger again. host: that's travis

, arizona, during prime time, and this is a his policyfamous for of rounding up undocumented immigrants and sometimes perhaps those who are here legally at the same time, and this is just one further sort of nail in the coffin when it comes to any hope republicans had in making inroads among latino voters. this will be a significant offender -- factor, particularly in florida, which has a rapidly growing latino population, and colorado and even in some of the other swing states that have smaller latino populations. i think that is something that we could watch very closely, because in the end in a close election, that could be the key. host: professor, someone asked on twitter -- steve -- do you believe this will be an extremely low turnout election? guest: no, i do not. actually, i expect this to be a high turnout election. nominees may be rather unpopular, unfavorable. i think the key to turnout is when voters perceive a big difference between the candidates and when there is a lot at stake in the election. one thing about having hillary clinton and donald trump as the two

republican -- for the ticket in arizona. is a decent guy, i like cam and i think he wants to do the right thing. i think his views are screwed up, but i will not say he is a bad guy. and on theing this inside of this convention, i have said publicly on the airwaves, let's spend no more than 25% of our time telling people what is wrong with donald trump. let's spend 75% of our time telling people what is right with hillary clinton and tim kaine and be specific about answers to problems, specific details so the public can say, you know, that is right. , itce community relations is a question of training. task forcebama's says the main thing we need to do is train our police better on how to interact with the public and hillary clinton said she would put $1 billion in federal money for a fund that police the access that money for training. to train about community relations and timidity policing and how to interact in difficult situations. that is a concrete proposal that means something. host: let's take some calls, richard in oakland on a democrat line. -- i am awould like longtime d
