"There is a profound difference in our two parties' visions for the future. Their party thinks ISIS (Islamic State) is a "JV team", that responds to the death of Americans at Benghazi by asking, "What difference does it make?" That thinks. It's possible to make a deal with Iran, which celebrates as holidays 'Death to America Day' and 'Death to Israel Day'. That is madness," Cruz said.
"President Obama is a man who does everything backwards - he wants to close Guantanamo Bay and open up our borders, he exports jobs and imports terrorists. Enough is enough. There is a better vision for our future: A return to freedom," he said.
"Freedom means religious freedom, whether you are Christian or Jew, Muslim or atheist. Gay or straight, the Bill of Rights protects the rights of all of us to live according to our conscience. Freedom means the right to keep and bear arms, and protect your family," he said.
Clinton, he alleged, believes government should make virtually every choice in ones life. Education, healthcare, marriage, speech - all dictated out of Washington.
"But something powerful is happening. We've seen it in both parties. We've seen it in the United Kingdom's unprecedented Brexit vote to leave the European Union," he said. Voters are overwhelmingly rejecting big government. That's a profound victory," he said.
"We deserve an immigration system that puts America first. And yes, builds a wall to keep us safe. That stops admitting ISIS terrorists as refugees," he said.
