That is the answer to everything. When donald trump talks about hes going to raise tariffs on people. But, quite honestly, its in the United States in a victim again. It is victimhood. That is all that is. It is not that we are not charging china for tariffs, it is not that we need to erect a barrier for trade, when used to be done is to use the constitution to free americas , the dreamers, entrepreneurs, the Small Businessman. [applause] get the government out of the way and let us create [applause] when i first heard donald trump say that he was going to make ,merica great again, i thought this guys ego never stops. There is no end to his ego. A president does not make America Great. A president stands as a sentinel between you and the bloated government and he is facing this way trying to hold them back. He is just like, keep going, keep going, you people stop. That is what the president does. He stops the bloated government from getting into your life. By applying the constitution. [applause] you, this is the first time i have ever endorsed somebody. I have not endorsed a candidate ever before in my life. First half of the my career, nobody wanted my endorsement. [laughter] now, it not begging for is because im from texas. Ted, we watched them as our senator. Texans dont fool around. I have learned that when i first moved out there. Im talking to the governor in texas now, to make sure im worried about the border wall. I want to make sure it is on the northern and western side of texas as well. If you want to come to texas, you better hurry. [laughter] cruz and heenator came into my office and my , heio years ago and he said is for the constitution. Im just like you. I would defendant. I said, mr. Cruz, i have heard this over and over again. And then you get to washington and you all become weasels. And he said, im not going to be. I said, please dont make this into account. [laughter] you, and if you become a weasel, i will become your worst nightmare. [applause] not once have i seen that man flinch. Not once have i seen that man misstep, not once have i seen him entering his values, not once. [applause] i have seen him take arrows from the front, from the democrats, i have seen him take arrows from all sides in the media and now from our own side, the drudge report and fox news, [boo. ] i have seen him take arrows from all sides. Then john boehner and mcconnell as they sat him in the back stabbed him in the back. He is like gandalf. He stands there on the bridge balrog saying you shall not pass. [applause] he is immovable. The reason why is because he knows who is. He knows who he serves and that is god and currently the people of texas and soon to be the people of the United States of america. [applause] raised by a father who it has actually walked up to a wall who has actually walked up to a wall. Try this for size. Keep up with being marched to be executed. He was 19 e years old. On the way, with the soldiers behind him, he saw a friend on the government side and he said, hey, bill, how are you doing. That is what his friend said. Come over here. That is how close he was to losing his life. When he escaped and comes to jesusa and that he finds and america and the dream of america, and he sets it right. I can type this. That man taught ted cruz since he was this big. About freedom, the opportunity, the constitution and how it all can with god. Connects with god. [applause] he knows the competition. Ted and i were just driving in and he is laughing. You made another drudge headline. And i said, better than the headline of you pushing carly off the stage. [laughter] it was because last night, when i got home, i did something that i dont think is controversial. To fast andamerica pray and approach the lord with humility and ask for his forgiveness and his protection. [applause] it is being mocked in the media as usual, but im telling you, i do not know who we are. If this is not an american thing to be able to beseech the almighty creator, the one who gave us these rights in the first place, and through divine providence, establish this country, i dont know who we are. [applause] but im going to make it easier for them to make fun of me. I just want to tell you and ask you, if you can recognize this person. Tell me if this does not sound like someone we might know. Cruz no also in those days, the perilous time shall come and men will be lovers of themselves. Proud,ll be coveted, blasphemers, disobedient, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection. Ierce,s, speisers f pleasure, lovers of more than god. Having the form of godliness,ut denying the power thereof from those people, ye shall turn away. [applause] it could not be more clear and yet so many people in america are missing it. We have lost common sense when we can say, dude, you still have downstairs, then you should not go in the ladies restroom. [applause] when we cant say that, we have lost our minds. [applause] that has nothing to do with hate, nothing to do with homosexuality, any of the sexualities that we now have, it has everything to do with common sense. I have daughters, i dont want guys in the bathroom with my daughters. [applause] we are smarter than this. I will tell you what, george in 1789, he came in and he made a covenant in a building in a church that is called the Little Church that stood. The reason it is called a Little Church that stood is because it is the church run across from the world trade center. It is the only building across from the trade center that did not lose all of its windows. In fact, this church did not crack a single window. It was the church where they and theyhe firemen rested in the church. It is in that church that after the inauguration of George Washington, Congress Said and decreed that the senate and the house shall follow the new president to that church and for four hours, they prayed and George Washington made a covenant and said we will be your people and you shall be our god. We have violated that, we have mocked him, we have chased him out and, you know what, he is like my dad. He is like me as a debt. There are times i will tell my kids, it is bedtime. Then i will get louder, it is bedtime, knock it off. Pretty soon, im walking up the stairs and im coming for you. [laughter] thats the way he is. He is our debt. Our dad. He is asking each of us to take a stand. You are taking that stand tomorrow. Tomorrow this is the most incredible election i have ever seen in my lifetime. It is usually settled by now. It is usually settled by texas. Everybody decided before got to us. This time, every single boat counts. Vote counts. It is like we are being held accountable. Do you want your freedom or not . Do you want the republic or not . [applause] the answer is yes we do yes, we do [applause] your job tomorrow is to get every Single Person you can to the polls. This is going to be very tight. This is going to be something truly remarkable and exceptional and it is coming to the heartland. To me, that is so important. It is not the mind, not the people who are trapped in the think tanks and the people who want you to think in the media in new york and washington dc, it is the people who have connected here. All of this stuff is common sense. You know the answer. You know the answer. The answer is more freedom for people and less government. [applause] the answer is more truth, fewer allies. Fewer lies. Those are the answers and you grandparents her taught it to you. I came as a regular guy. Im just a dad coming to you from the state of texas telling you this is a man you can trust. Im not going to put my name on somebody you cannot trust. He is a good, decent, honorable man. [applause] you can trust him. Tomorrow, tomorrow you make the choice. Will record what indiana did on the state 100 years from now. Did we renew the promise of our constitution and the promise of america, or did we let it slip through our fingers . That choice is your tomorrow. Get out tomorrow and get everybody you know to the polls and pull the lever for cruise carly ly cruz and [applause] i have met Carly Fiorina several times. She was on the show. I left her every time. Every time she left, i love her. Then we would get mail, i dont know about her. I would get everyone on the the, look at everyone on show and said i love her. At one point. S the first time after she voted z by the way, she said im in for ted. She just wanted to do the right thing. Her, ist time i saw think it was in south carolina. We were at a speedway. It was outside and there was this big stage and i was supposed to speak after her and she came down the stairs as i was coming up and she looked at me and was confident and a little bit of sass and she threw her hair back and said i told you i was a conservative. [applause] i wanted her to be the Vice President because i said, carly, you know, if someone like you and you knewsident about the Thomas Jefferson administration and how he ran the senate, and she smiled knowingly and said mhmm. [laughter] so you know . And she said, mhmm. She knows that went Thomas Jefferson was Vice President , he wrote all the senate rules. In other words, a true vice and look can walk in at someone like Mitch Mcconnell you are in my suit. Seat. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, the next Vice President , Carly Fiorina. Hello, hoosiers [applause] applause. ] carly, carly thank you so much. Glenn is right. Hoosierple of the futur state have an Important Role tomorrow. The have an important decision tomorrow that is going to reverberate all across this nation. I know that you all are here because you know the right thing to do. One of the things that i would like to do today is to help you go out tonight and tomorrow and can been some people who may not have figured out the right thing to do. Election is, this about so much more than ted cruz and Carly Fiorina. In fact, it is not just the cruise carly fight, it is all of our fight. This is a fight for the soul of our party and the future of our nation and we need every single one of you signed up to be warriors in this fight with us. [applause] i want to give you some ammunition. Let me start by telling you about the man ive come to know. Glenn is right, i did not know ted cruz personally. But i knew what he believed in what he had done. I think you know someone did a pattern of their life. What i knew, looking at the pattern of his life, this is a man who is grounded in faith. Grounded in the constitution and p because the system. But i do not know him. The truth is, what i voted for him, i suspended my own president ial campaign because there was no path to victory for me. I believed, that was you have a victory,have a path to your duty is to help a fellow conservative who can win. [applause] honestly, i wish john kasich would get the memo. [applause] i mean, really. Governor kasich, you cant win 49 out of 50 times and get the nomination. Tell your friends if any of them are thinking of voting for john kasich, a vote for john kasich is a vote for donald trump. You have a clear choice here. In any event, i went to the voting booth and my dear husband me,k of 32 years said to im voting for you, honey. , ok. My husband i went in the voting bit and i looked at the ballot in my own name was on the ballot. That is a thrill. Have to be honest and i paused because i thought about all of my supporters and people who work for us and then i thought, why did i run . What am i fighting for . I said that iran and im fighting i ran and im fighting for a constitutional conservative in the white house. I am fighting for someone who knows this is a fight and she will be a fearless warrior on our behind and i checked the box for ted cruz. [applause] then, did i sit down and have a conversation with him. I had met him behind stage at a debate, but those are not social gatherings. Hour and i for an wanted to help. I have been on, a bus campaign with him for seven weeks. You get to know somebody on a bus for seven weeks. Let me to you about the guy i have come to know. First, i will tell you that we have been joined by some of his runs. Some of his lifelong friends. Whether his whether it is his College Roommate or a friend from texas or mike lee from the utah. I would rather have mike lee and Louie Gohmert and David Limbaugh i would rather have them as friends than john boehner. All those friends in the same thing about 10. They say he is exactly the same. Behind closed doors, kicking back, out in public. I bring that up because at some of who has endorsed donald trump recently, ben carson is set on the day that he endorsed donald in publicis one guy and one guy in private. The best decisions the biggest decisions president s will make are made in private. We better know what kind of what kind of Supreme Court justice they wont nominate in private. We better know that whenever everybody is saying you cant do that, you cant actually go to a simple flat tax to illuminate president will say yes i can. We need to know who he is and private. In private. Then i got to observe him as a husband. Heri, you will get to meet in a bit. She is a brilliant woman. She is in a compost, brilliant woman. Accomplished, brilliant woman. She has a harvard mba. I have watched the two of them, they are true partners. I know that it takes a strong man to truly partner with a strong woman. Ted cruz is a strong man with a great partner and heidi cruise. Cruz. Sheill make an awesome will make an awesome first lady. Of course, i got to know his daughters caroline and katherine, and what i observed about those two adorable girls as they adore the dead. Dad. Hey also know their but they also know he is engaged in important work. Phey want to jump in his la and listen to him tell stores, but they know that they need to let him do his important work. Doesnt that say a lot about a man when his children both adore and respect him. [applause] you all know why the constitution is so important. But you may have fellow hoosiers who may not understand it. In the spirit of trying to equip tonightonvince others and tomorrow, i want to tell you a little bit about why the constitution is as relevant a document as the day it was written and why it is so critically important that we have a dedicated constitutional conservative in the white house. To do that, i have to start a long time ago in my life. One sunday morning, when i was about eight, my mother looked at me and said what you are is gods gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift to god. I have learned over the course of my life, i have traveled, i have lived, i have worked all over the world for decades. I have done business work, charitable work, policy work, and i have learned that everywhere in the world, even in the most desperate circumstances, each of us are in deep gifts of god. I have learned that every Single Person has potential. Life of us once a wants a life of dignity and meaning. Work done well brings dignity. Family brings purpose and faith brings meaning to our lives and so it is worth asking the question that if everyone has those same desires and potential from god, why is it that more things have been more possible for more people here than everywhere else in the world . What is it that this place has been so extraordinary that it is only here that a young woman can start as i did, typing and filing and answering the phones for a nine person Real Estate Firm in the middle of a deep recession, go on monday to become the chief executive of the Largest Technology company in the world and run for the presidency of the states and now standing on the stage as the 45th president s running mate. That is only possible here. [applause] the question is why . Why is it only possible here . I was a student of history. O were our founders anyone who has stunted studied historyhuman nature has not changed. Human nature does not take. There are two fundamentals about human nature that are fun elders our founders understood. They knew that everyone has godgiven gifts. So they build a nation on this amazing idea. It was radical at the time. Us idea was that each of have a right, a right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. That was their way of saying each of us have the right to find our own way and use our togiven gift but still fill our potential. And they said that that right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness comes from god and cannot be taken away by man or government. [applause] so, the constitution is a document that enshrines our rights and liberties. Yes it does. It gives us the right to bear arms. Ted cruz will protect that through the end. It gives us the right to protect practice our religion freely. Ted cruz has defended that to the end. The constitution is something else. Us see, history also teaches that power concentrated his power abuse. Power concentrated his power abuse. The constitution was also written to prevent the concentration of power. To restrain power. Here is the truth, ladies and gentlemen. We have had way too much power concentrated in the hands of way too few people for way too long. [applause] that is why it matters that you have a constitutional conservative, because ted cruz iserstands that what ails us we are crushing the potential of too Many Americans because there is too much money and too much power in the hands of too few. There are entrenched interests. There are corrupt politicians, crony capitalists and that system must be challenged. [applause] that takes a warrior. That takes a fighter. That ted people say cruz has made some enemies. I talked about how a man is known by his friends and his wife and his children, but honestly, the man or a woman is known by their enemies as well. Ive challenged systems my whole life. I will tell you that we challenge the status quo, the challenge the powers that be, he do more than ruffle feathers. So know thisies man by the fact that he has the courage to make the enemies he must make to fight for all of us. [applause] enemies of the present leadership. The on your friends and warriors and you take the slings and arrows from your enemy. I know a lot of people who voted for donald trump and no i know a lot of people who will vote for donald trump. Bey think that donald trump a warrior to challenge the system. Think aboutmoment, the pattern
