NOW, BEFORE THE COMMERCIAL WE WERE GETTING TO KNOW TED CRUZ.
BUT AS IT TURNS OUT THERE'S A WHOLE LOT MORE OF CRUZ TO ABOUT.
AND HE'S MADE IT EASY WITH A COLLECTION OF VIDEOS HIS
CAMPAIGN POSTED ON YOUTUBE.
IT'S OVER 13 HOURS OF RAW FOOTAGE OF TED CRUZ DOING
PRESIDENTY STUFF AND LISTENING TO HIS FAMILY SAY REALLY NICE
STUFF ABOUT HIM.
>> I LOVE YOU, MOM.
>> I LOVE YOU, TOO, DEAR.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
>> ONE MORE HUG.
( LAUGHTER )
HOLD FOR A SECOND.
>> Trevor: KEEP HOLDING HER, THAT'S RIGHT, KEEP HOLDING.
NOW, SQUEEZE HER BOOB.
WHAT!
SORRY, CUT, CUT.
CRUZ WASN'T JUST DOING IT FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT, IT TURNS OUT
IT'S ALL PART OF THE CAMPAIGN GAME.
>> BY LAW CAMPAIGNS CAN'T COORDINATE WITH SUPERPACS SO
MANY POST RAW VIDEOS AS A WAY TO SHARE MATERIAL LEGALLY.
>> Trevor: YEAH, THAT'S THE WAY THEY DO IT TO GET AROUND THE
LAW.
ANDs THAT'S THE LEAST SUBTLE ATTEMPT TO GET AROUND THE LAW
SINCE DRINKING A 40 OUT OF A BROWN PAPER BAG.
"WHAT'S IN THAT BAG, JUICE?
ICED TEA?
IT COULD BE ANYTHING!"
I'M TELLING YOU, WATCHING THIS FOOTAGE IS PURE JOY.
YOU GET TO WATCH TED CRUZ TELL HIS FAMILY TO MAKE HIM LOOK GOOD
AND WATCH HIS FAMILY DESPERATELY TRY.
>> SHARE WHAT IT WAS LIKE GROWING UP WITH MY FATHER
AS YOUR UNCLE.
AND THE ROLE HE PLAYED IN YOUR LIFE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
SHOULD I LOOK AT YOU?
>> START LOOKING AT ME.
>> HE HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT I KNOW TODAY ABOUT
OUR COUNTRY AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF HOW OUR COUNTRY BEGAN.
>> AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY, LIKE, THE SAME TYPE--
>> SAY SOMETHING SIMILAR.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
JUST KEEP TALKING, JUST KEEP TALKING.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Trevor: AAAH!
SCRIPTED LOVE.
DOESN'T IT JUST GET YOU RIGHT HERE?
SORRY, ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN?
SCRIPTED LOVE.
DOESN'T IT GET YOU RIGHT HERE?
( LAUGHTER )
NOW, NOT ALL THE FOOTAGE IS IS GLAMOROUS.
FROM ALL THE COUGHING IN THE BACKGROUND WE ALSO LEARN TED
CRUZ'S HOME MIGHT HAVE A TERRIBLE ASBESTOS PROBLEM.
>> TED REALIZED THAT YOU CAN'T JUST REST ON YOUR LAURELS.
>> WHEN MY DAD WAS A SCARED TEENAGED BOY
( COUGHING )
>> THESE WERE THE THREE HE ENJOYED THE MOST
( COUGHING)
>> PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT, AND WE'RE FIGHTING FOR THE WORLD
THAT WILL BE OUR KIDS' WORLD, AND--
( COUGHING )
( LAUGHTER )
>> Trevor: OH!
I JUST LOVE THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE'S SITTING IN THE
BACKGROUND LIKE (COUGH) BULL(BLEEP)!
(COUGH) BULL(BLEEP)! (COUGH) BULL(BLEEP)!
THE BEST PART OF ALL OF THIS IS WATCHING TED CRUZ SPEND QUALITY
TIME WITH HIS KIDS.
>> I'M TED CRUZ AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
I'M TED CRUZ, AND WE APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
>> ONE MORE TIME.
>> A LITTLE BIT FASTER.
THAT WAS GOOD.
I'M TED CRUZ AND WE APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
>> Trevor: NOW, ONE MORE TIME, KIDS, AND ACT LIKE YOUR DAD'S
NOT USING YOU AS A PROP TO GET ELECTED.
COME ON, NOW.
THIS IS ONLY A FRACTION OF THE CRUZ FOOTAGE TREASURE TROVE THAT
WE FOUND AND WE FOUND WITH THE RIGHT MUSIC AND A LITTLE
EDITING, YOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
FOR INSTANCE, YOU COULD USE IT TO MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIE TRAILER.
