Ted Cruz on the Frank Beckmann Show

good morning it's good to be with you good to have you back I I really wonder sometimes why anyone would subject themselves to what you're subjecting yourself to you when

I hear this kind of stuff over and over and over again well there there's an awful lot of silliness and politics but

I'll tell you it is also it's invigorating you know we just left a rally in Kalamazoo with seventeen hundred people come out to a rally the

energy there was incredible and and and I am both inspired and invigorate because

people really waking up I mean our country is in crisis Frank and and and we are losing I

market principles and free market liberty that that built the country and and people are hungry not

to bring America back in and and that I'll I'll tell you the is really inspiring to see that energy and enthusiasm at the grassroots uses

different called to set yourself apart from other candidates in bringing that message out because a

it is a message that shared by by many seeking the nomination on the GOP side well

look if it's true that an awful lot of the Kennedy it talked the talk on the campaign trail but

that people are tired I don't recall not that they're they're tired a campaign conservatives who sounded great on the trail but

today and tomorrow and and and that is why you know the grassroots energy where saying behind our campaign here in Michigan with a phenomenal team here

on the ground in Michigan and all across the country I it is nothing short of extraordinary and it's big car people

are fed up with Washington they're fed up with politicians who talk a good game and they want eight
