Cruz: the energy and excitement is encouraging. Indiana will play a decisive, pivotal role. Eyes of the entire country is looking to Indiana.

Do we want to nominate a candidate that yells, curses and screams or do we nominate someone with a positive, hopeful and optimistic message.

Says that the reaction to Carly has been very positive. Touts her record from going to secretary to CEO. Goes on to discuss how she's prepared to do the job, having the judgment and character to lead.

Cruz: Donald and Hillary are flip sides of the same coin. Hillary has made millions selling influence and Donald has made billions buying influence.

On how to combat criticism that naming a running mate is desperate. Also Boehner's comments:

Cruz: it surprises no one that Donald's response is yelling insults. He insults anyone and everyone he encounters. It is certainly unusual to make a VP announcement early. The reason for making the announcement is to unite the party. We are fractured and if we're fractured-we lose. It's also important for the people of Indiana to know what they're going to get. Trump and HRC are virtually indistinguishable. Goes on to talk about policy positions Trump and Hillary are the same on.

If the Republican party allows the choice to be between two big government liberals, we will have failed. Hits Donald Trump's campaign manager for being run by lobbyists.

Donald wants this race to be over because he cannot earn a majority. Indiana will be a pivotal state for the entire country.

Notes how Trump is almost 70 years old and cannot name one time he was stood up to Washington.

On John Boehner: he allowed his inner Trump to come out. If you're wondering who has stood up to Washington, Boehner has made it crystal clear. Boehner described Trump as his texting and golfing buddy. Trump gave Boehner's superPAC 100,000 dollars. Also notes how Trump has donated to other Democrats.

Cruz: I've never worked for John Boehner. I don't know the man. If I've ever said 50 words to the man, I'd be surprised. During the shutdown, I worked with John Boehner - I tried to reach out to him and he rejected me. When John Boehner calls me Lucifer, he's directing that at you. Talks about how Boehner is angry with him for standing up to Washington. Boehner is angry that the American people are holding him accountable.
Cruz: what made Boehner mad is that I led a campaign to hold Washington accountable.

On the Cruz-Kasich alliance - there is no alliance. Kasich and I made the determination where to focus our resources would be a disaster. John Kasich made the decision to withdraw to Indiana.

Cruz: it's not surprising that Donald Trump is attacking Hillary Clinton for being a woman. He has a problem with strong women.

Goes on to talk about how HRC was a disaster as secretary of state. Hits Trump for donating to the Clinton Foundation. There's a reason why HRC came to Trump's wedding. Trump and Clinton are flip sides of the same coin.

Talks about how there should be a debate.

Stream cuts out.
