TIMESTAMPS:

:10 Cruz on mic; Great to be with you; Q: Constitutional conservatism… You’re the only intellectual conservative in this race, right?

A: Oh, thanks, I appreciate that

Q: Abolish IRS and tax code simplification; IRS commissioner wants to make it easier for illegal immigrants to pay taxes so the agency is corrupt; How do we abolish it?

A: Absolutely the IRS is corrupt, facilitating lawlessness; IRS has persecuted American citizens perceived to be opponents of POTUS… Tea Party, pro-life, pro-Israel and other groups; It’s an abuse of power; My simple flat tax allows every American to fill out their taxes on a postcard or a smartphone app; For first $36k a family of four earns, they pay nothing; You can see the postcard at TedCruz.org, TedCruz.org; It’s not easy to get it done but I intend to make 2016 a referendum on passing a flat tax, repealing ACA, and if we come out with a mandate from the people, we have a force strong enough to move Washington and I’ll lead the fight as POTUS and we’ll get it done

2:45 Q: Did the liberal D’s give us the crazy tax code?

A: Of course; Complexity entrenches Washington special interests; More words in IRS code than in the Bible and it limits their ability to shake down the citizenry from Washington; We’ll create jobs, grow capital, and invest in Americans from richest to poorest and after 10 years, the average family will see a savings of over $7k and that’s real money; That’s why I’m fighting for it

Q: Link between public education and bad civic engagement and responsibility?

A: Absolutely; Constitution is a way to unite us all acrsoss divisive issues; In my first days in White House, I’ll tell DoE Common Core ends today; Abuse of power by BHO to force it on the states but since he did it that way, it can be undone by the stroke of a pen; I want to block grant and send the money back to local governments; MSM says I don’t believe in education but quite the opposite; The people of NY, teachers, they know far better that should be taught at the ground level in Washington; 10A unifies people across ideology and political stripes

Q: We had the guy you made Maza with the other day and he was real excited; That guy tweets at us all the time; GOP can own that issue… D’s have ruined children’s lives I’ve never had maza straight ouf of the oven; It’s a heck of a lot better; Such a privilege; I’m overwhelmed at the support we’ve seen on religious liberty: Israel has never been more threatened than it is today; No administration

9:15 Q: You aren’t even on the map wand HRC leads in NY; What say you?
A: Millionaires and billionaires comprise the highest percentage of…

Lift burden of government off of regs on small business; Young people can’t find work when they get out of college… I want to bstart changing that

Q: Why don’t Americans understand that self governance makes everyone happy?

A: Media is almost all liberal D’s so they skew story; On issues like MM, I don’t support legalization; I wouldn’t vote for it in TX because I don’t want to see kids hooked on pot; Under 10A, states have authority to make that decision such as CO, WA… They made the decision to legalize and they have the right to do that; Brandice said the 50 state federalist system is a laboratory of democracy; Makes the entire country better when we all have and protect our own They try and paint us all in the GOP as scary, mean, evil; Such a huge partisan agenda so they really want Trump to win because HRC will beat him by double digits; My approach is the same as Reagan’s… Go over the head of MSM, communicate directly with the people; We win by telling the truth with a smile because our policies work and HRC’s policies have resulted in stagnant wages and low employment; Use free market principles that build America to get Washington off of the backs of small business; My dad fled Cuba and came to America not able to speak English, Allow for small businesses to grow and prosper to begin to fix the problem; TedCruz.org, TedCruz.org, TedCruz.org; Thanks for having me; Take care; Cruz off mic
