_____________________________________________________________

Event Details:

Cruz election eve rally with Carly Fiorina and Glenn Beck. Indiana State Fairgrounds, Exposition Hall, 1202 E 38th St, Indianapolis, IN. Livestreamed on CSPAN.

Attendees/Audience:

Cruz says 2,000, others talking about how few people attended.

Press:

Open.

Summary of Event:

Lots of Trump criticisms from everybody. Beck was weird as expected. Carly talked a lot about Cruz’s character. Cruz praised Fiorina, said HRC is most afraid of her. Gave his standard stump speech.

Key Points:

0.00. Kurt Smith, Indiana Family Institute. Political scientists have studied why people vote the way they do. [Audio cutting in and out]. This is the 10th event of the day. I think I’ve driven 1000 miles this week. Blistering pace. Says a lot about their commitment to IN. Cruz announces his running mate here too. Cruz admin will have label on it saying “Made in Indiana.” Pundits will report IN as making history: Trump failed, Kasich bailed, Cruz prevailed.” Missile named after him: Cruz missile. Featured in every car: cruz control. Cruz committed to 2A. One that warms my heart the most is the 10A. State of IN is co-sovereign with federal gov't and people are sovereign over both. Need to get him over winner’s line tmrw. You can tell a lot about an individual by the company they keep. Would you rather keep company with Mike Tyson or Glenn Beck?

10.00. Glenn Beck. Here for Constitution. Answer to everything is protecting and defending Const. When Trump says he’ll raise tariffs, he’s making us a victim. What needs to be done is to use Const to free America’s people, get gov't out of way, and let us create. Trump’s ego never stops. Pres doesn’t make America great. He stands as sentinel between you and bloated gov't. First time I’ve ever endorsed. Nobody wanted my endorsement for first half of my career. I’m from Texas. Texas doesn’t fool around. Wants border wall on northern and western border too. Told him if he becomes a weasel, Beck will be his worst nightmare. Had arrows coming from him from all sides, stabbed in back by Boehner. Cruz is like Gandalf, on bridge saying “You will not pass!” They were marching his father to be executed. Saw friend who worked on gov't side who calls him over to save him, that’s how close he was to death. Came to America, found Jesus. References Carly falling off stage.

17.00. Bible quote, “men will become lovers of themselves…” We have lost common sense when we can’t say “you know what dude, still got that thingamajig downstairs, maybe you should go into the men’s room.” Church near Ground Zero didn’t break a single window. After inauguration of George Washington, where Senate and House was required to follow him to church. Made covenant about Christianity and gov't. Every single vote counts. Do you want your freedom or not? Want republic or not? Yes we do! Your job tmrw is to get every single person to polls. Going to be tight. This is coming to Heartland. Not to people trapped in think tanks and media in NY and D.C. It's common sense, you know the answer. More freedom, less gov't. More truth, fewer lies. Your grandparents knew that. Coming to you as regular guy. Carly didn’t want anything, she just said she was in it for Ted.

25.00. Carly looked at me and threw her hair back and said “I told you I was a conservative.” When Thomas Jefferson was VP, he wrote all Senate rules. So a true VP, constitutionally, can walk into Senate, and say to McConnell, “Mitch, you’re in my seat.”

26.30. Fiorina: Glenn is right. People of Hoosier state have really important role, choice, decision tmrw. You’re here bc you already know the right thing to do. This election is about so much more than Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina. Fight for soul of this party and future of nation. I wanna give you some ammo. I didn't know Ted personally, but i knew what he believed and what he had done. He's grounded in faith and in the constitution. I suspended my campaign bc there was no path to victory, wish Kasich would get the memo. A vote for John Kasich is a vote for Trump, simple as that. Looked at ballot in voting booth, and my name was on ballot. Paused for a minute. I’m fighting for const conservative to get into WH so I checked that box for Ted Cruz. Then and only then did I decide to help. Been on bus for 7 weeks. Joined by some of his lifelong friends, Louie Gohmert, Mike Lee. David Limbaugh. I'd rather have those for friends than John Boehner. They all say he's exactly the same behind closed doors as in public. Ben Carson said he was one guy in private and one guy in public. Decisions as Pres are made in private, we better know what he’s like. We need to know who he is in private.

33.00. Then i got to observe him as a husband. Heidi is brilliant in her own right. She will make an awesome first lady.Their girls adore their dad, they know he's engaged in really important work. They know they need to let him do his important work. You all know why Const is important, but may be other Hoosier who don’t. As relevant a document as the day it was written. What you are is God's gift to you, what you make of yourself is your gift to God. Even in most desperate circumstances, we are gifted. Work done well brings dignity. Why is it that America has been such an extraordinary place? How can a woman such as me start out as typist, move to CEO, run for Pres, now stand as VP candidate. That's only possible here! Why is it only possible here?

38.55. Sometimes people say Ted has made enemies. A man is known by his enemies as well. I know, that’s how I got from secretary to CEO. Know this man has the courage to make the enemies he must. You take the slings and arrows from his enemies. I know a lot of people who voted or want to vote for Trump. Think about the pattern of his life. Boehner doesn’t like Ted that much, but he's golfing buddies with Trump. Trump is crony capitalist. Him and Hillary are two sides of the same coin. Trump won’t fight this system, he is this system. Must be fought, Ted is man to lead us in this fight. Not just that taxes need to be lowered, Obamacare must be repealed, etc, yes all of those things are at stake, but so is soul of our party and future of our state. Time to take our country back. I was proud, honored, humbled to accept offer of VP. I will stand and fight for him. Fight of our time.

44.15. Ted Cruz: God bless great state of IN. Crowd chanting “we want Ted.” Privilege and honor to be with patriots, lovers of liberty, tonight. I gotta say, “isn’t Heidi gonna make an amazing first lady?” Amazing mommy to our two little girls. When Heidi is First Lady, french fries are coming back to the cafeteria. How about Glenn Beck? Isn’t he incredible? Everytime he talks, I learn something. I love when he brings out white board. Rights don’t come from gov't, they come from God Almighty. Const was drafted as chains to bind mischief of gov't. Beck is fearless. How about Carly? Extraordinary leader. When I announced her as VP choice, no more solemn choice than making that decision. You’re telling American people this person is equipped to become Pres. You’re looking for same criteria as Pres, knowledge, judgement, and character. She started as secretary to become first female CEO of Fortune 500 company. She knows jobs come from small businesses and the people. She is careful, sober, think through. Don’t want Pres who is rash, having fits at latest twitter storm. Need good, stable, steady judgment. Character is most important. Want someone who has struggled, stands by principles, want someone who has principles, who doesn’t change position morning, noon, and night.

50.15. Real question is how you treat people you don’t have to be nice to. Carly stood up to bullies at the debates. We know bullies and contrary to media narrative, bullies aren’t strong they are weak. Fiorina stands up to bullies whether Trump, Clinton, or Vladimir Putin. Fave thing about Carly is that she utterly terrifies Hillary Clinton. I can picture HRC thinking about Carly, tossing and turning in her jail cell. This next election is about jobs, freedom, and security. Speaking to single mom, part time workers, hours reduced bc Obamacare kicks in at 30 hrs. Truck drivers, mechanics, who've seen stagnant wages but paychecks don't keep pace. Hillary, Bernie take a look at all the young people. Young people buried in student loans. Media tells us this is the new normal. Lemme tell you that is an absolute lie. Easy to talk about making America great again, even print it on baseball cap. Heart of economy isn’t D.C., it’s small businesses. If you wanna unleash economy, take boot of fed gov't off back of necks of small business.

55.00. Cut taxes and lift regulations, result is millions and millions of new jobs. I intend to follow path of Ronald Reagan and JFK. My opponent, Trump, has different approach, he's following path of Obama and Clinton. Campaigning on massive 40% increase of taxes. Prices will be 40% higher when you go to store. People of IN don’t need Trump tax increase. I will cut your taxes. Simple flat tax, fill out taxes on postcard, abolish IRS. Repeal obamacare. Reign in EPA and federal regulators, descending like locusts, killing jobs. Stop Obama admin war on coal. Develop all energy resources, stop sending billions to countries that hate us. Will see millions of new high paying jobs coming back from Mexico, China, coming to Indiana, wages rising, young people coming out of school with job offers. That’s what this election is about. Right to seek out God without gov't getting in the way.

1.00.00. If you care about 2A, then we are one liberal justice away from radical left wing majority that would strip Bill of Rights for a generation. Hugh Hewitt asked us about SCOTUS and religious liberty. Trump said he knew a lot more politicians than I have. He's been supporting liberal Democrats for 40 years. I have no exp with that. Trump said he would compromise, cut deals, go along to get along. Let me be clear, I will not compromise away your religious liberty. Will not compromise away your 2A rights. Third critical issue is security. Pres has abandoned friends and allies, shown weakness to enemies. Trump would be neutral to Palestinians. I will not be neutral. America will stand unapologetically with Israel. Anyone who can’t tell difference between friends and enemies, allies and Islamic terrorists, brings up serious question about ability to be CinC. Morale plummeting. Seen this before, left wing Dem pres Jimmy Carter, weakened and undermined military. Brought Reagan in. Used new revenue to build military, bankrupt Soviet Union. I intend to do same thing with radical Islamic terrorism. Result is million of new high paying jobs, manufacturing jobs coming back to Indiana, use that revenue to rebuild military so it remain mightiest fighting force on planet.

1.05.10. No longer will military be governed by PC. Have pres who says we will defeat radical islamic terrorism. Have Pres willing to utter words radical islamic terrorism. Saddest and most shameful things has been sending men into combat with rules so strict they cannot defeat the enemy. Wrong, immoral, and will end in January 2017. To every soldier, sailor, airman, and marine, police, firefighter, first responder, days of your pres not respecting you are coming to an end, I’ve got your back. [Almost growling there]. 21 hrs until polls will close. Strange and long journey, not boring. Started with 17 candidates, talented, young, diverse. What a contrast with Dems. Wild eyed Socialist with dangerous ideas and Bernie Sander. Only two people have any plausible path to nomination. Eyes on Indiana. Do we get behind campaign based on yelling, insults? Or continue to unify under positive, optimistic, forward looking campaign based on real policy solutions? We've been barnstorming asking for support of Hoosiers. Any candidate should look you in the eyes. Had even earlier in small cafe, had some Trump protestors across the street, I walked across street to engage with them. Began with lead protestor cursing and yelling. He channeled candidate he was supporting. Had civil, respectful conservation on one side. He yelled liar in between everything. Trump will build wall that's the main thing he wanted. Told him he told NYT the wall thing was a lie. It’s on tape. Asked me what have I ever done for 2A? Represented 30 states in Heller v Virginia (?) Did you know Trump agreed with Bill Clinton’s national ban on guns? He kept yelling liar. If I were Trump, I wouldn't have walked across street and shown you that respect. I’m running to be pres for everyone.

1.13.00. What word did I say was a lie? Trump never told anyone to punch anyone. I told him to google it. Trump said on national TV punch protester in face and I'll pay legal bills. Truth matters. Trump is having people raise hand and pledge support to him. This is america. We don’t pledge support to men, to the flag, to the constitution. I do this bc I love this country. Can’t sit by while greatest country goes down drain. Here bc we love our kids, country in crisis. At edge of cliff, if we don’t pull back, kids won’t enjoy our freedoms. Trump and I are effectively tied in IN. Can you find 5 people to come out and vote tomorrow? Can you find 5, 10, 15 people to go vote. There are about 2,000 people here tonight. Freedom not passed down through bloodstream. This primary is coming down to good judgment of Midwest, to Hoosiers. Proud to have support of Mike Pence. While Trump is proud of support of Mike Tyson. Convicted rapist of a 17 year old girl who spent time in prison in IN. If we stand as one, we will beat Hillary Clinton and turn nation around! Thank you and god bless you. END.
