Summary of Event:

Ms. Fiorina and Senator Cruz stumped at this rally - usual talking points all around on jobs, SCOTUS, health care, immigration, and military.

Key points:

0:00 state sen. Bram(?) Hershman speaking

0:56 Louie Gohmert speaking - says Mike Lee would be awesome on SCOTUS

5:47 Mike Lee speaking

14:28 Heidi speaking

20:22 Glenn Beck speaking

26:37 Fiorina: Hello Hoosiers - how fantastic that hoosier state becomes critical in this battle for the soul of our nation - what does it say about a man who is friends with glenn beck, louie gohmert and mike lee? It says a lot - i would rather have them as friends than boehner - he’s a golf buddy with trump - IN is tale of 2 mikes - trump has been endorsed by tough guy not, Mike Tyson - what does that tell you about trump

28:37 i’ve been on a bus with cruz and his family for 7 weeks - i’ve seen him with his friends - he’s the same away from the cameras as he is in front of them - he treats everyone with respect - i’ve been married for 32 years - i know heidi is accomplished and strong woman in her own right and they have a partnership - it takes a strong and special man to partner with a strong and special woman - it says a lot about a man when your children adore and respect you - this is not a man who gets rattled

30:37 he doesn’t lose his temper, he is calm and thoughtful even under pressure, isn’t that what we want in a commander in chief - trump said i’m a conservative but why does it matter - when i was 8 years old my mom told me what you are is gods gift to you, what you make of yourself is your gift to god - people want to live lives of dignity and meaning - i am keenly aware that it is only in this nation that a woman can start out as secretary to be CEO and run for president and VP

33:00 more things have been possible for more people here than anywhere else on earth - our founders understood human nature - every individual has right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness - you have a right to fulfill your potential that comes from god

34:37 they also knew that power concentrated is power abused - constitution is also about the constraint of power - the constitution is not some dusty relic from centuries ago - it is as relevant today as it was then - the game is rigged, the system is corrupt - works for wealthy but not for us - citizen government must be restored - we need a fighter - making enemies is price of leadership - be proud of his number of enemies

36:57 how do you give tons of money to both boehner and pelosi? Hillary and Trump are different sides of same coin - trump will not fight the system, he is the system - this is our fight - fight for the soul of our party and future of nation - it is time to take our country back - you must stand up and give ted cruz a win

39:14 cruz and family entering - Cruz: god bless IN - what an incredible blessing to be with you, thank you - what a privilege to stand with so many patriots - you want to talk about warriors for liberty you start to see a connecting theme between the men and women who come out on the campaign trail

41:15 i cannot think of anyone i would more want to be in a foxhole with than the men and women standing on the stage fighting for our country - isn’t heidi going to make an extraordinary first lady - she’s beautiful, brilliant, amazing mom - she’s my best friend - let me talk to all the kids here - when heidi is first lady french fries are coming back to the lunchroom - i always thought cardboard belonged under the tray not on top of it

43:15 VP most important decision - need knowledge, judgment, and character - do they understand the complex problem facing the world - are they able to execute carefully or are they hot-headed

45:15 do they stick by their principles or do their positions change based on the time of day - how do they treat people they don’t have to be nice to - how do you treat the clerk at convenience store or taxi driver - that reveals everything about character - carly has known struggle - first female CEO of a fortune 20 company - women in the workplace encounter a lot of unfairness - she has faced them down just like heidi and millions of women - carly terrifies hillary clinton - i can picture hillary tossing and turning in her jail cell

47:35 this election is about jobs, freedom, and security - jobs - i want to talk to the single moms who are working 2-3 part time jobs and have seen your hours forcibly reduced because of obamacare - i want to talk to truck drivers - i want to talk to all the young people, btw hillary and bernie look at all the young people - student loans up to your eyeballs - media says new normal - that’s a lie

49:25 it’s easy to talk about making america great again - but the real question is do you understand the principles and values that made america great in the first place - the heart of our economy is not DC, it’s small businesses - if you want to unleash economic growth you have to take boot of  federal govt off back of small business - JFK and Reagan understood that - i intend to do the same - repeal obamacare

51:21 obamacare biggest job killer in america - pass common sense healthcare reform - simple flat tax, abolish IRS - rein in EPA and regulators descending like locusts on farmers killing jobs - i was in TX and asked them what’s the difference between regulators and locusts - you can’t use pesticides on regulators

53:25 perfect example of regulations run amok is carrier - liberals want to punish carrier - thats the wrong approach - we need to create an environment that is attractive to do business in so carrier comes back to IN because it’s the best place to do business - lower taxes and regulation - end war on coal - america is saudi arabia of coal

55:15 we’re also going to stop amnesty and secure the border, etc. we’re going to see millions of high paying jobs coming back from China and Mexico - wage rising, job offers for college grads - that’s what this election is all about - morning in america again - freedom - passing of justice scalia underscores importance of election - if you value religious liberty - if you value 2nd amendment

57:15 then we are just one justice away from radical liberal majority on supreme court that will strip those rights away - at debate trump said he’s known more politicians than me - he’s correct - he’s been supporting liberal democrats for 40 years - i have no experience with that - he said you have to learn to compromise - i will not compromise away your religious liberty or 2nd amendment rights

59:07 third critical issue is security - for 7 years president who abandons allies and appeases enemies - trump said he would be neutral between palestine and israel - i will not be - anyone who can’t tell difference between friends and enemies raises questions about their fitness to be commander in chief - we need commander in chief right now - military weakened - jimmy carter did same thing - then Reagan

1:01:10 Reagan cut taxes, lifted regulations, saw millions of jobs - used revenue to bankrupt soviet union and win cold war - i will do the same thing - no longer will military be governed by PC - president will say radical islamic terrorism

1:03:15 rules of engagement too strict - it will end in Jan 2017 - to all first responders - days of feckless president who doesn’t respect your service are coming to an end - you will have commander in chief who has your back - let’s talk politics - this year has been interesting - we started out with a diverse, young, talented field - democrats have wild eyed socialist and… bernie sanders

1:05:20 there are only 2 people who have path to nomination - me and trump and the eyes of the country are on IN - media wants this race to be over - they’ve all made their decision - this election is not about a candidate - it’s about our country - you’re here today because you love your kids and are scared for our country - we risk losing everything

1:07:16 i keep looking for basketball rings - the media gave me a hard time because i played ring instead of rim - i played 2 and a half years of basketball in high school but they think i don’t know what a rim is - reading quotes from movie Hoosiers - federal govt is guy naked barking at moon in your living room and we’re going to deal with it - 51 hours away from polls closing in IN - this battle for our kids and future and freedom

1:09:21 you will decide this battle for the entire country - if you share the passion and love for our country then you can make a choice to get behind campaign that is about yelling and insulting or do we get behind a positive campaign with solutions - if you have a car that’s broken down do you want someone to fix it or yell at it? Do we stand with governor Pence and fiorina? Or do we stand with a convicted rapist mike tyson? I ask you not just to vote but to pick up phone and call everyone

1:11:15 tell them this election matters - in 51 hours IN will have spoken to the nation - do we still believe in our country or have we sold democracy down the river to media - i have faith in hoosiers - if we unite we will win the nomination and the general and beat hillary and turn this country - thank you and god bless you
