well Maria it's great to be with you it's great to be here in Milwaukee you know

0:04

the question you last really i think is is the most important question many of

0:09

us can have faced which is how do we get the economy growing how do we bring back

0:13

economic growth because economic growth it's foundational to every other

0:17

challenge we have as you rightly noted from 2008 today our economy has grown

0:23

1.2 percent a year on average the Obama economy is a disaster and the IMF is

0:31

telling us this is a new normal it doesn't have to be if you look at the

0:35

history of america there are three levers that government has had to

0:39

facilitate economic growth the first is tax reform and as you noted I have

0:44

rolled out a bold and simple flat tax 10% for every American that would

0:50

produce booming growth and four point nine million new jobs within a decade

0:54

the second element is regulatory reform pulling back the harmonies of regulators

1:01

that have descended like locusts on small businesses in the third element is

1:06

sound money every time we pursued all three of those weather in the nineteen

1:11

twenties with calvin coolidge of the nineteen sixties with JFK or the

1:15

nineteen eighties with ronald reagan the result has been incredible economic

1:20

growth we have done it before

1:22

and with leadership we can do it again thank you

 

0:00

well my mom is here so I don't think we should be pushing any grannies off

0:03

cliffs and and you misstated what I've said on entitlement reform what I've

0:08

said is for seniors we should make no changes whatsoever for younger workers

0:12

we should gradually raise the retirement age we should have benefits grow more

0:16

slowly we should allow them to keep a portion of their taxes in a personal

0:20

account that they control and can pass on to their future retirees now I want

0:27

to go back to the discussion we had a minute ago because you know what was

0:30

said was right the democrats are laughing because if Republicans joined

0:36

Democrats as the party of Amnesty we will loose I understand that when the

0:46

mainstream media covers immigration it doesn't often see it as an economic

0:50

issue but I can tell you for millions of Americans at home watching this it is a

0:57

very personal economic issue and I will say the politics of it would be very

1:01

very different if a bunch of lawyers are bankers were crossing the Rio Grande or

1:07

if a bunch of people with journalism degrees were coming over and driving

1:10

down the wages in the press

1:21

the economic calamity that has befallen our nation

1:26

and I will say for those of us who believe people ought to come to this

1:29

country legally and we should enforce the law we're tired of being told its

1:34

anti-immigrant its offensive I am the son of an immigrant who came legally

1:43

from cuba the American Dream and we can embrace legal immigration while

1:49

believing in the rule of law and I would not try going illegally to another

1:54

country try going to China or Japan triangle into Mexico see what they do

1:58

every sovereign nation secures its borders and it is not compassionate to

2:06

say we're not going to enforce the laws and we're going to drive down the wages

2:10

for millions of hardworking men and women that is abandoning the working

 

0:00

that brings both of these together right that we have to defend this nation you

0:08

think defending this nation is expensive try not defending it that's a lot more

0:13

expensive and pay for you couldn't do that and also be fiscally responsible

0:20

you know I mentioned that the 25 programs that I put out today that I

0:24

would eliminate among them are corporate welfare like sugar substitutes let's

0:29

take that as an example

0:30

sugar subsidies sugar farmers farming

0:35

0.2% of the farmland in america and yet they give forty percent of the lobbying

0:41

money that's sorta corporate welfare is why we're bankrupting our kids and

0:45

grandkids I would end those subsidies to pay for defending the snake removal

 

0:00

and Marie I will know she's got a lot of experience but her but her policies have

0:05

proven disastrous if you look at foreign policy every region on the world has

0:11

gotten worse under her leadership we abandon the nation of Israel under her

0:15

leadership radical Islamic terrorism has been under the rise under her leadership

0:19

in Obama's leadership Iran is getting a hundred billion dollars on the verge of

0:24

getting a nuclear weapon everything she's put her hand to his touch and when

0:28

we talk about the cronyism of Washington Hillary Clinton in bodies the cronyism

0:34

give you an example of that which is the congressional exemption from Obamacare

0:41

which is fundamentally wrong and I'll tell you this if I'm elected president i

0:46

will veto any statute that exempts members of congress the law should apply

0:50

evenly to every america

0:00

absolutely yes yeah you know i've spent much of my adult life

0:04

enforcing the law and defending the Constitution and the problem that

0:07

underlies all of this is the cronyism and corruption of Washington you know

0:13

you the opening question Jerry asked would you bail out the big banks again

0:17

nobody gave you an answer to that I'll give you an answer absolutely not and

0:26

what we have right now is we have washington as government gets bigger and

0:29

bigger you know the biggest lie in all of Washington and in all of politics is

0:33

that Republicans are the party of the rich the truth is the rich do great with

0:37

big government they get in bed with big government the big banks get bigger and

0:41

bigger and bigger under dodd-frank and community banks are going out of

0:44

business and by the way the consequence of that is small businesses can't get

0:49

business loans and it is that fundamental corruption that is why six

0:55

and wealthiest counties in america are in and around washington D C you let me

0:59

give you a contrast to Washington cronyism some weeks ago I wanna named

1:06

sabina loving testified at a hearing that I chaired in the senate subpoena

1:10

loving is an african-american single mom who started a tax preparation business

1:15

in the south side of chicago she found a storefront she wanted to have her own

1:18

business she started a business but then the IRS promulgated new regulations

1:24

targeting tax preparers they did it under a more than a hundred year old

1:28

statute called the dead horse act now this statute and the IRS in classic

1:34

Washington crony fashion head exemptions for lawyers and big fancy accountants

1:39

but subpoena had to put pay $1,000 an employee it would have driven her out of

1:44

business in MS loving sued the IRS she took the Obama IRS to court and she want

1:50

and they struck down the rule for picking the big guys over the little guy

1:54

senator I wanna be like senator I really want to be clear here are you saying

1:58

that the Bank of America were on the brink you would let it fail

2:04

yes now let's be clear there is a role for the federal reserve what the Fed is

2:10

doing now is it is a series of philosopher kings trying to guess what's

2:16

happening with the economy you look at the fed one of the reasons we had the

2:19

financial crashes throughout the two thousands we had loose money we had an

2:24

asset bubble it drove up the price of real estate drove up the price of

2:27

commodities and then the third quarter of 2008 the fed tighten the money and

2:33

crash those asset prices which caused a cascading collapse that's why I'm

2:38

supporting getting back to rules-based monetary system not with a bunch of

2:44

philosopher kings deciding but tied ideally that I just want to be clear if

2:49

you don't mind that that millions of depositors would be on the line with

2:53

that decision

2:56

it won't happen again whatever the reason that you would let it go you

3:01

would let a bank of American go so let me be clear I would not bail them out

3:05

but instead of adjusting monetary policy according to whims and getting it wrong

3:10

over and over again causing booms and busts what the Fed should be doing is

3:15

number one keeping our money tied to a stable level of gold and number two

3:20

serving as a lender of last resort that's what central banks do so if you

3:23

have a run on the bank the Fed can serve as a lender of last resort but it's not

3:28

a bailout it is alone at higher interest rates that's how central banks of work

3:34

and I'll point out look we had a gold standard under Bretton Woods we have

3:38

about a hundred and seventy years of our nation's history and enjoyed booming

3:42

economic growth and lower inflation than we have had with the Fed now we need to

3:47

get back to sound money which helps in particular working men and women what

3:53

washington does the people who are doing well in the Obama economy are those with

3:58

power and influence in the Obama government the people working men and

4:03

women that we need to fight for me oh that's a difference of being exactly to

4:07

let me just explain when a bank is ready to go under and depositors are getting

4:12

ready to lose their life savings you just don't say we believe in

4:16

philosophical concerns you know what an executive has to decide when there's a

4:23

water crisis how do we get water to the city when there's a school shooting how

4:27

do you get there and help heal the community when there are financial

4:30

crisis or a crisis with ebola you gotta go there and try to fix it

4:34

philosophy doesn't work when you run something I gotta tell you on the job

4:39

training for president United States doesn't work we've done it for eight

4:43

years almost eight years now it does not work we needed executive who's been

4:47

tried has been tested and judge the decisions about executive makes I don't

4:53

like what the Fed is doing but I'll tell you what worries me more than that

4:57

the Fed over to the congress it would be a very bad approach why would you then

5:05

bailout rich Wall Street banks but not my word break not mom-and-pop not sabina

5:10

loving what you just said I'm excited is a nose to step in and bail out banks

5:14

they were talking about what you would do with depositors would you let these

5:17

banks shut down my argument is going forward the banks have to reserve the

5:22

capital city of the capped it so that the people who only capitol start

5:25

pressuring the banks to not take these risky approaches ted but at the end of

5:31

the bank was failing to cause if during

5:37

I would not let the people who put their money in there all go down so you know I

5:44

was an executive I would figure out how to separate those people who can't

5:49

afford it

5:50

versus those people are the hardworking folks who put their money in those

5:53

institutions

5:54

another thing here's what I mean by that is what I mean by that

5:59

when you are faced when you are faced in the last financial crisis with banks

6:05

going under with banks going under and people people who put their their life

6:10

savings in their deal with it you can't turn a blind eye to it now going forward

6:15

that's one thing if you had another financial crisis perhaps there would be

6:20

governor

0:00

58 years ago my father fled cuba as he stood on the deck of that ferryboat with

0:06

the wind and salt air blowing he looked back at the oppression and torture he

0:11

was escaping and yet he looked forward to the promise of america his stories

0:17

are story what ties Americans together as we are all the children of those who

0:22

risk everything for freedom america is in crisis now I believe in American if

0:28

we get back to the free market principles and constitutional liberties

0:32

that built this country we can turn this country around I believe the 2016 will

0:38

be an election like 1980 that we will win by following reagan's

0:42

the pain in bold pale pastels we're building a grassroots army I ask you to

0:48

join us at  Ted Cruz dot org and we the people can turn this nation around
