Summary of Event: Ted Cruz held a campaign rally at Gateway High School in Monroeville, PA just outside of Pittsburgh.  Cruz gave his standard stump speech and didn’t take any questions. Clip A is the capture, B is tracking footage and C is b-roll.

Key Points:

ClipA:

00:00:01- Cruz PA state campaign chair warms up the crowd and welcomes Cruz to stage.

TC: God bless the commonwealth of PA and god bless the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Thanks for all you patriots for standing up for our county.  Politics root word joke. We are here this morning because our county is in crisis.  Bankrupt kids and grandkids.  Constitutional rights are under assault.  I’m here with a word of hope and encouragement. People are waking up and help is on the way.

TC: This next election will come down to jobs, freedom and security.  Jobs.  Talking to single moms working 2-3 part time jobs, hours reduced because ACA kicks in at 30 hours.  Truck drivers, plumbers, mechanics, union workers, who have seen wages stagnate while cost of living still goes up.  Young people who are coming out of school with student loans up to eye balls.  Main stream media says this is the new normal and as good as it gets.  That is an utter lie. It is easy to talk about making America great again.  But do you understand the values that made it great in the first place.  Heart of economy is small business across America.  IF you want to unleash economy get lift boot off back of small businesses.  Reagan and JFK, understood if you cut taxes and regulation the result is millions of new jobs.  I intend to follow the very same path.

TC: If I’m president, we will repeal every word of ACA.  We will pass common sense health care reform, portable, affordable.  We will pass a simple flat tax.  Taxes on a postcard, and abolish the IRS.  Apparently the IRS isn’t very popular in PA.  That is a bit of a problem because Clinton and Sanders both have come out for higher taxes.  That’s how we got in this mess.   We will reign in the EPA, federal regulators who are killing jobs across the country.  Look back to 8 years ago, Obama promised he would bankrupt coal industry.  Only promise Obama has kept.  War on coal is wrong.  America is Saudi Arabia of coal.  Energy is key to bring manufactory back to America.  Low cost energy means jobs.  We will stop amnesty and end sanctuary cities, and end welfare benefits for those here illegally.  We will see millions of new high paying jobs, jobs coming back from Mexico, China.  Wages rise again, young people coming out of college with 3-4 jobs offers.

00:13:00- TC: Second key issue is freedom.  Passing of Scalia brings 2 branches of government into question.  If you value 2 amendment, we are just 1 justice away from striping those fundamental rights.  At a debate, Trump said he knows more politicians than me.  He is correct. Trump is a Washington insider supporting democrat politicians for 40 years, and I have no experience in that.  Trump wrote check to Carter over Regan, but he said when it come to religious liberty and SC you have to learn to compromise.  Let me clear, I will not compromise your religious liberty.  I will not compromise your 2 amendment rights.  Is anyone frustrated with politicians who lie to us.   Hilary is a great example.  They talk good on campaign trail and betray us.  Trump has been betraying us before he got elected.  2 days ago, Trump agreed with Clinton that grown men should use little girls room.  That is just nuts.  This isn’t political, this is basic common sense. That is just political correctness on steroids.  Trump said he can be more PC on earth.

00:19:00- TC: Third issue is security.  Trump said he would be natural to Israel and Palestine.  I will not be neutral.  America will stand with Israel.  Anyone who can’t tell difference between Israel and Islamic terrorists raises real questions about fitness to be president.  Over last 7 years, military has weakened, moral plummet, we have seen this before.  Carter and then 1981 Reagan came into office.  He cut taxes, lifted regulation created new revenue to rebuild military and defeat soviet union.  I intend to do the same thing to Islamic terrorism.  We will create millions of new jobs.  raise wages and generate trillions in new revenue to rebuild military.

TC: ISIS and every jihadist who wages war against US, a day of reckoning is coming.  We are coming to get you, not to negotiate, we are coming to kill you. Obama has sent men and woman into combat with rules of engagement so tight arms are tied behind backs.  It is wrong and immoral and Jan 2017, it will end. Every solider, law enforcement, fire fighter will have a president who has your back.

00:25:00- So lets talk a little politics.  Interesting year, started with 17 GOP candidates.  What a contrast to the democrats.  Wild eyed socialists and Bernie Sanders.  Over the course of the last year, the race has narrowed.  Only 2 people with a plausible path to nomination.  Me and Trump.  We are seeing republicans uniting behind this campaign.  65-70% of republicans know Trump is worst candidate to face Clinton.  Trump loses by double digits.  If I’m nominee we beat Clinton.  Just a few weeks ago, a poll shows Trump loses to Clinton in Utah.  We beat Clinton is swing states.  In OH, Trump loses to Clinton, we beat Clinton.  Same with IA, WI, and here in PA.  We are coming back here in Oct to beat Clinton in PA in November.

TC: You may have heard Trump won NY.  Very exciting.  Trump and media said NYC has spoken.  They believe PA is suburb of Manhattan. Eyes of the country are on PA.  You have platform to speak to country.  Do we want to nominate strong position conservative campaign? With resolution to economic problems in this country.  WE don’t want a candidate who hands the election to Clinton like a Christmas gift.

00:33:00 TC: I want you to vote for me 10 times.  Not democrats, we don’t want voter fraud.  But get 10 people to join you and vote.  Of the 17 candidates 5 have endorse this campaign along with Mike Lee, Mark Lavin, We have the entire partying coming together to join this campaign.  IF we stand united as one, we will win the republican nomination, win the general election and beat Clinton and turn this country around.  If took Jimmy Carter to get Ronald Reagan, I’m convinced the lasting legacy of Obama will be the new generation of young conservative leaders who stand and fight for liberty, judo Christian values that built this great nation.

Thanks and Good Bless you.
