RE: PA-Pres Ted Cruz-Williamsport Rally

_____________________________________________________________

Event Details: Cruz gives most of his normal speech. He has thrown more references to religion in and has added parts about men using the women’s restroom. He also added a part where he says trump does not mean anything he says and that he is lying to get votes. He took questions at the end. Including one on the minimum wage. He also added a part about energy and coal to appeal to PA voters, talking about the war on coal and how fracking is perfectly safe.

Key Points:

0:00

Thank you for coming out. Politics. 2 parts poly many and tics meaning blood sucking parasites. Country is in crisis. Bankrupting kids and grandkids. Rights under assault. America has receded from leadership. Here with word of hope and encouragement. People are waking up and help is on the way.

1:26

Next election is 3 issues. Jobs, freedom, security

1:35 Jobs

#1 priority as prez will be bringing jobs back and raising wages. Easy to talk about making America great again. Can even print it n baseball cap. Heart of economy is not in DC or New York. It is small businesses all over country Want growth lift boot off neck of small businesses. If I am prez we will repeal every word of Obamacare. Pass common sense health reform and keeps gov. from getting in between us and docs. We will pass simple flat tax. Where every American can fill it out on post card. Then abolish IRS. Rein in EPA and regulators that kill jobs. PA is an energy state. Energy is key to unleashing economy. Need to pursue all of the above resources without Washington picking winners and losers. Obama promised to bankrupt coal fired plants. May be only campaign promise he has come close to meeting. War on coal is destroying jobs. It is wrong and immoral. Wrong for gov to try and drive them out of business. If I’m prez war on coal will end and clean coal plan will be rescinded. Will see thousands of new jobs in coal and wages rising. Been doing fracking for 60 years and it is perfectly safe. States know how to do it to create jobs. PA knows difference between getting jobs here and not NY. Clinton wants to give NY rules to everyone. We are going to pull back regulators. Going to stop amnesty, secure borders and end sanctuary cities. End welfare for those here illegally. Will see wages rising and young people getting 2,3,4,5 job offers. Will see morning in America again

8:04

2 Critical issues is freedom. Scalia’s passing underscored stakes of election. 2 branches of gov. hang in balance. If you value religious freedom and ability to seek out and worship lord god almighty free of gov getting in way; if you value 2 amendment; we are 1 liberal justice away from court taking away rights. 2 amendment and 1 amendment, and fundamental rights.

9:09

At debate Trump said I’ve known more politicians than you have He’s right, He’s been supporting liberal democratic politicians for 40 years. Said you have to compromise on Supreme Court. Learn to cut deals. Let me be clear. I will not compromise away your religious liberty. I will not compromise away 2 amendment rights. How many of you are tired of politicians lying. Yesterday Trump agreed with Clinton and Obama and said grown men should be allowed to use girl’s restroom. Beginning to see Trump being politically correct. This is basic common sense. Nobody in their right mind wants to see a stranger, grown adult man alone in bathroom with little girls. If you are too politically correct to admit that, you have a problem.

11:58

3 critical issue is security. For 7 years seen prez who abandons and alienates allies. Appeases enemies. Trump said he would be neutral between Israel and Palestinians. As prez I will not be neutral. America will stand unapologetically with Israel. If you can’t tell difference between friends and enemies; difference between Israel and Islamic terrorists who want to kill us, that raises real questions about your fitness and judgment to be commander and chief.

13:36

Last 7 years seem military depleted. Moral plummet. Seen it happen before under Carter. In 81 Reagan came into office. Cut taxes economy took off. Generated taxes. Rebuilt military and won cold war. I intend to do the same with radical Islamic terrorism. When we do all this result will be millions of new jobs and rising wages generating revenue. We will use it to rebuild military into mightiest fighting force on face of planet. Saddest thing is military going in with arms tied behind back. Wrong and it will end in Jan 2017.

16:34

Election is about fundamental choice of direction of country. It took Carter to give us Reagan. Most long lasting legacy of Obama will be new generation of republican leaders who will stand and fight for liberty, constitution and Judeo Christian values that built nation.

17:40 Q

What are your tax policies on imports?

17:55 TC

Simple flat tax. Typical family of 4 first 36,000 pay nothing. Above 36,000 you pay 10%. Everyone pays the same. Can fill out taxes on postcard. For business abolish corporate income tax, payroll tax Obamacare tax, death tax. Replace with 16% flat tax. Imports important. Business tax is all exports are 100% tax free but all imports pay business flat tax. Will bring high paying mfr jobs back. Trumps plan. Not sure he’s read it. He went on TV yesterday and said we should raise taxes. Opposite of what’s written in his plan. His campaign is now run by Washington lobbyist. Yesterday they met with party leaders. They said this is all a show. He doesn’t believe what he says. Telling us he is lying to us.

21:27 Q

Can’t hear

21:37 TC
Encounter with Bernie supports. I agree with him that Washington is broken and politicians are in bed with special interests. Trump example of that. Benefits big business at expense of working men and woman. I disagree with solution. If Washington is corrupt why give them more power. Give it back to people. Young people excited about Bernie because fed up with gov. If they anoint Hillary, I think if I’m nominee we are beating Hillary with young people by 14 pints.

223:40 Q

Immigrant plan do for jobs and economy.

23:46 TC

Detailed plan on my website. Very specific. Build a wall triple border patrol. Increase aircraft. Strong E verify. End sanctuary cities by cutting of tax dollars to any city that defies immigration law. End welfare for those here illegally. Deport criminal illegal aliens. Effect will be – same as Sanders question. Why broken immigration. Dems like illegal immigrants because they look at it as future democratic voters. Republicans in bed with big business who look at it as cheap labor. If you care about illegal immigration. Talk is cheap actions speak louder. Look at 2013 gang of 8 battle over amnesty. I led battle against it in congress and we defeated it. What was Trump doing? Funding gang of 8. Maybe that’s why he said he doesn’t mean anything he said on immigration. I will actually do what I said.

27:19 Q

Hero’s form history

27:23 TC
I have 3 busts in office. Reagan, Churchill, Martin Luther King. All 3 stood for principle. Spoke truth at incredible personal cost. Took on establishment and power structure. Risked everything and changed world. Churchill said we shall never surrender and inspired world to defeat evil of Nazis. Martin Luther King. Dems hate to admit he was reverend. He was pastor speaking out against evil of racial bigotry. Modern dems are opposed to religious liberty. Did they read letter from Birmingham jail. Reagan spoke truth. Turned around economy. Led effort to defeat Soviet Union. Those 3 changed arc of history. 2016 is another point.

30:36 Q

Can’t hear.

30:55 TC

What did I learn from my thesis advisor? Learned to read the constitution. Not clear competitors have read it. Senior thesis was on 9 and 10 amendment. 10 amendment says power not given to fed gov are given to states and people. Need to get fed gov out – example education. Will instruct dept. of education that common core ends today. Ideally abolish fed dept. of education. Block grant and send it to states. When media hears that think I don’t car about education. Opposite. Education is too important. Parents and teachers know more than unelected bureaucrat. Obama education dept. is litigating against junior highs to allow teenage boys to shower with teenage girls. That’s nuts. If that happened at local level you would throw them out. Accountability at local level. Bureaucrat doesn’t care what you think. Anyone who’s ever known teenager knows it aint a good idea. Return to common sense.

34:30 TC

Your second question was about forced abortion. One of great tragedies. China aborted 300 million. Introduced amendment in senate to say cut finding to UN as long as any country has po9licy of forced abortion. Everyone should agree that they are abomination. Time when PA gov. was pro-life dem. Dem party has chased out everyone that values life. Dems voted against my amendment and in favor of China’s forced abortion policy. Need to return to common sense. Positive shared values.

36:25 Q

Minimum wage

36:38 TC

Minimum wage. Politicians love giving away free stuff. That’s how they get elected. No such thing as free lunch. Everything gov. gives you it must first take from you. When Obama proposed raising fed min wage I went to senate floor and gave speech about it. 4 charts.

$10.10 wage. CBO said up to 1 million people would lose jobs. They would be low income, African American, Hispanic and teenagers. Anyone who votes for this better be prepared to look in eyes of low income teenagers you just voted to throw out of jobs.

2 was $0.0. Lowest % Americans working since 1977. Real Obama minimum wage is $0.00 for those who have cost or cant find jobs.

3 was $46.98. Average hourly wage of oil and gas worker in North Dakota. Want more people making that.

Final chart was map of US color coded for whether income had gone up or down. Map looks like geological map of shale formations in US. Exception was counties around DC.

If you want to understand minimum wage. My father’s first job was washing dishes. Didn’t have to speak English. If minimum wage had been jacked up they would have fired my dad. Want to see effect of minimum wage look at restaurants where you order off I pad. Teenager got fired and replaced because of minimum wage. Lost out on that first job and experience.

41:56

Stakes have never been higher. Started with 17 candidates. Now narrowed. Only 2 candidates who have path to nomination. Me and Trump. Entire countries eyes on PA. Can choose if we want to get behind positive forward-looking campaign with solutions. If Trump is nominee Clinton wins by double digit’s. If I’m nominee we beat Clinton. Winning independents and young people. Trump loses PA to Clinton. She and I tied in PA and I will win in November. If you want to win, then you have opportunity to come out and vote for me 10 times. Not dems. Not suggesting fraud. Call 9 other people and get them to vote. That’s how we win. By coming together. Got to unite Republican Party. First step to united America. If we stand united will win repub nomination and general, beat Clinton and turn country around.
