Summary of Event:

Senator Cruz stumped at this Terre Haute, IN rally. He touched on religion, SCOTUS, 2nd amendment, education, jobs, military, taxes, health care, immigration, LGBT issues re: bathroom bill and trump.

Key points:

0:00 Cruz entering - god bless IN - isn’t heidi going to be an amazing first lady - thank you for your leadership, thank you to patriots to coming out to defend our nation - root of word politics has 2 part, poly meaning many and tics meaning blood-sucking parasites

2:15 we’re here today for something more important than politics, i’m here to bring hope and encouragement - people are waking up - help is on the way - this next election will focus on jobs, freedom, and security - jobs - i want to talk to single moms that are working 2-3 part time jobs, who have seen your hours forcibly reduced because of obamacare, i want to talk to all the truck drivers, steel workers, etc. who have seen wages stagnating year after year, i want to talk to young people

4:02 by the way, hillary and bernie, look at all the young people here - young people coming out of school with student loans up to their eyeballs, scared, what if i can’t get a job, media says this is new normal, that’s a lie - it’s easy to talk about making america great again - but the real question is do you understand the principles and values that made our country great in the first place, heart of economy is small business - if you want to unleash economic growth then take boot of federal government off back of small businesses - JFK and Reagan understood this - i intend to follow that same path

6:08 if i’m elected we will repeal obamacare - we going to pass common sense health care reform that keeps government out - we’re going to pass simple flat tax - everyone can fill out taxes on a postcard - abolish IRS - rein in EPA and regulators - end war on coal being waged by obama

8:02 obama promised to bankrupt coal and it’s the only campaign promise he’s kept - when government controls livelihoods it’s immoral and it will end - impact of government - quotes the movie Hoosiers - government is leviathan barking at the moon in your livingroom - stop amnesty and secure borders, end welfare for those here illegally, see more jobs coming back from china and mexico and see wages rise again, young people getting multiple job offers

10:36 the passing of justice scalia underscores the stakes of this election - if you care about religious liberty - tapping mic - apparently the obama NSA doesn’t want this rally to continue - if you care about religious liberty, if you care about 2nd amendment [crowd applauds]

12:06 then we are just one liberal justice from a radical supreme court that would take away those rights - couple debates ago hugh hewitt asked us about religious liberty and SCOTUS - trump said he knew more politicians than i have - he’s correct, he’s been supporting liberal democrats for 40 years - i have no experience with that - he said when it comes to SCOTUS, religious liberty, you have to learn to compromise - i will not compromise your religious liberty - i will not compromise your 2nd amendment right - earlier this week trump was on today show and came out in support of hillary and obama mandating men using bathrooms with girls - this isn’t matter of left or right, this is common sense

14:31 i am the father of 2 young daughters, it doesn’t make sense to let a grown man be alone in the bathroom with little girls - this is political correctness on steroids - PC police - shows how off course we are - media finds this conversation very confusing - if donald trump dresses up as hillary clinton he still can’t use the girls’ bathroom - the american people are looking for leaders who embrace common sense and who are willing to speak the truth

16:07 security - for 7 years we’ve seen a president who abandons our friends and allies and appeases our enemies - trump said if he were president he would be neutral between israel and palestine, i will not be - america will stand unapologetically with israel [standing ovation from crowd] - anyone who can’t tell the difference between our friends and enemies that raises real questions about their fitness and judgment to be commander in chief

18:17 we’ve seen our military weakened, morale plummeting - this isn’t the first time we saw this - jimmy carter, then reagan came into office in 1981 - reagan cut taxes, lifted regulations, economy took off - he used revenue to rebuild military, bankrupt soviet union and win cold war - i will do the same thing with radical islamic terrorism

20:27 one of the saddest things we’ve seen is this president sending people into combat with restrictive rules of engagement - it’s immoral - it will end - to every soldier and sailor, and to every first responder no longer will we have a president who demonizes you, you will have commander in chief who has your back

22:15 let’s talk about politics - this past year has been interesting [stream cuts out - ad playing when it restarts] republicans nationwide recognizing trump is not the best candidate to go head to head with hillary - she beats him in UT - most conservative state in the union

24:07 if i’m the nominee we beat hillary - we are beating her in key swing states, we are beating her with independents and young people - of the 17 republican candidates who started, 5 are now supporting our campaign - fiorina, walker, perry, graham - when you throw in glenn beck and mark levin you have the entire spectrum of the republican party uniting behind us - we’re facing a choice, do we want to be behind a campaign that is yelling and insulting or do we want to unite behind an optimistic campaign with real solutions

26:08 if your car is broken down do you want your neighbor to come over and yell at it or do you want someone to come over and fix it - the solution is this campaign getting the federal government out of our lives and off our backs - IN is a battleground state - trump and i are neck and neck - i want to ask you to vote for me 10 times, we’re not democrats, i’m suggesting voter fraud, call 9 other people, that’s how we win - focus now on unity, if we continue to unite we will win this primary, if we unite the country we will win the general and turn the country around - it took jimmy carter to give us ronald reagan, the lasting legacy of obama will be new generation of leaders in republican party who stand and fight for liberty and constitution and judeo christian values that built this nation, thank you and god bless
