MONTAGE OF TED CRUZ - PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE QUESTIONS + RUSH LIMBAUGH RUSH LIMBAUGH: TED CRUZ SCARES THE HECK OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT 0:00 jed cruel is the one guy in the united states senate that's trying to stop this 0:06 decline of this couple one guy trying to make something happen the one died 0:11 trying to lead others the one guy trying to turn the linguine spined republicans 0:20 into spines of steel in the United States Senate where we're going on a 0:24 leftist Democrats the Alinsky I today be if they had just thrown in the towel oh 0:29 my god our precious Berlin Wall was down our precious I guess that's it for us 0:36 they didn't react that way did they they never stop moving they never stop 0:43 fighting they never stop trying to win and they don't win every time and nobody 0:50 puts that kind of judgment on them everybody sit around and marvels at how 0:54 often they do win but in order to win you have to move you have to have 1:00 movement you have to lead efforts I mean a democrat party had a bunch of people 1:05 died in 1993 who thought you know we got abandoned his drift to the left it's 1:09 over the berlin wall is down 1:11 ronald reagan 1976 lost a republican presidential nomination guess it was 1:19 over 1:20 guess reagan's a failure he let out a living wage the fight he lost ya what 1:26 good reagan kept fighting I really think this is instructive to this is this is 1:33 establish Minh type thinking from inside the beltway the left has lost every one 1:40 of their battles until they've won them named Jimmy somebody wins all it was was 1:47 unnecessarily what was the point according to cruise missile what is it 1:52 because there's this great fear inside establish like I said yesterday 1:55 folks and I mean this and I did know dredges gonna make it is lead headline 1:59 yesterday but I'm talking about the republican establishment much rather 2:02 have hillary Clinton Ted Cruz be president 10 crews scares the heck out 2:07 of them because hillary will keep the gravy train 2:09 Hillary will keep the government growing Hillary will keep the money being 2:13 redistributed should keep taxing people governments gonna get bigger all kinds 2:18 of money around all kinds of jobs in the government all kinds of work for 2:21 lobbyists and so forth and cream stands for an attempt to reduce all of that and 2:28 so the people in washington who feed off the federal Heat are threatened by 2:33 somebody who wants to reduce the number of dates imagine Ted Cruz being the 2:40 biggest enemy when you are a Republican or conservative either an elected 2:45 official a campaign official media figure whatever Ted Cruz your biggest 2:52 enemy TED CRUZ: I WILL ALWAYS KEEP MY WORD AND FIGHT FOR FREEDOM 0:00 you know everyone here talks about the need to take on washington the natural 0:04 next question is who actually has done so who actually has stood up not just 0:09 the democrats but two leaders in our own party when millions of Americans rose up 0:14 against Obamacare I was proud to lead that fight when millions of Americans 0:18 rose up against amnesty I was proud to lead that fight when millions of 0:22 Americans rose up against Planned Parenthood I was proud to lead that 0:26 fight if people are promising they're gonna take on Washington and cronyism 0:31 you need to look to who has been doing it in my family my dad fled oppression 0:36 in cuba come to America freedom is personal for me and I will always keep 0:41 my word and fight for freedom TED CRUZ ON HIS TAX PLAN AND ELIMATING THE IRS 0:00 exactly right his plan is is a good plan and I will note that my 10 percent plan 0:05 also eliminates the payroll tax eliminates that yes 0:09 eliminates the business in 10 percent flat rate we're gonna go to any 0:15 candidate up here has and what it would also enable us to do is for every 0:20 citizen to fill out their taxes on a postcard so we can eliminate the IRS TED CRUZ ON SAVING SOCIAL SECURITY 0:00 well sure looked the this deal in Washington as an example of why 0:03 washington's broken republican leadership joined with every single 0:07 democrat at 80 trillion to our debt to do nothing to fix the problems and and 0:12 let me note on social security as we were getting into a good substitute 0:15 exchange and I want to say I think both Chris and Mike are right governor 0:19 Huckabee is exactly right we need to honor the promises made to our seniors 0:23 but for younger workers look I'm 44 years old it is hard to find someone my 0:28 generation that thinks social security will be there for us we can save and 0:33 preserve and strengthen Social Security by making no changes for seniors but for 0:37 younger workers gradually increasing the retirement age 0:41 changing the rate of growth so that it matches inflation and critically 0:45 allowing younger workers to keep a portion of our tax payments in a 0:50 personal account that we only control and we can pass on to our kids TED CRUZ DISCUSSES HIS SIMPLE FLAT TAX PLAN 0:00 secular trends you wanna 10 percent flat tax where the numbers add up I rolled up 0:05 my tax plan today you can find it online at 10 0:08 dot org it is a simple flat tax where for individuals 0:13 a family of four pays nothing on the first thirty six thousand after that you 0:18 pay 10% is a flat tax going up the billionaire and the working man no hedge 0:24 fund manager plan pays less than a secretary on top of that there's a 0:28 business flat tax of 16% now that applies universally two giant 0:34 corporations that with lobbyists right now are not paying taxes and a small 0:38 businesses and you wanted to know the numbers the Tax Foundation which has 0:42 scored every one of our plans shows that this plan will allow the economy to 0:46 generate four point nine million jobs to raise wages over 12% and to generate 14% 0:55 growth and it costs with dynamic scoring less than a trillion dollars those of 1:00 the hard numbers and every single income decile sees a double-digit increase in 1:06 after-tax income and certain other out as demonstrated we cut taxes we can 1:13 bring back down HOW ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THE SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES PEOPLE CARE ABOUT, PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THE MEDIA 0:00 you know let me say something at the outset the questions that 0:04 so far in this debate illustrate why the american people don't trust the media 0:09 and he looked at the questions are you a comic book villain ben Carson can you do 0:21 math john Kasich will you insult to people over here 0:24 Marco Rubio why don't you resign Jeb Bush why of your numbers followed how 0:29 about talking about the subsidy issue 0:41 the contrast with the democratic debate where every funding question from the 0:48 media was which of you is more handsome and why's this thirty seconds left to 0:56 answer should you choose to do so let me be clear that many women on this stage 1:03 have more ideas more experienced more common sense then every participant in 1:09 the democratic debate that debate reflected a debate between the 1:13 bolsheviks and mention sex and nobody watching at home believes that any of 1:21 the moderators has any intention of voting in the Republican primary the 1:26 questions that are being asked shouldn't be trying to get people to tear into 1:30 each other it should be what are your substance TED CRUZ: I'M A FIGHTER 0:00 up too agreeable easygoing 0:04 you know I think my biggest weakness is exactly the opposite I'm a fighter I am 0:09 passionate about what I believe I've been passionate my whole life about the 0:13 constitution and you know for six and a half years we've had a gigantic party if 0:19 you want someone to grab a beer with I may not be that guy but if you want 0:24 someone to drive you home I don't get the job done and I will get you home 0:30 Governor Chris
