| Richard Reeves with Infowars.com in Iowa City at a Ted Cruz event. | |
| And we have an interloper visiting to check out Ted Cruz. | |
| We have Anna from Illinois. | |
| Tells us she's a Democrat. | |
| But you're still here, so you're obviously interested. | |
| So tell us what's going on. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| So I'm here in Iowa visiting a dear old friend from college. | |
| And this is the fifth event we've been able to attend in our short visit. | |
| We're heading back to Chicago tonight. | |
| Rubio, Hillary, Bernie, and now Cruz. | |
| So tell us some of the highlights you've seen so far. | |
| Well, it was very striking. | |
| Bernie's crowd was definitely the most fired up. | |
| I was a little surprised by Trump's crowd. | |
| It was a big crowd and they were enthusiastic. | |
| Bernie's crowd was like a Led Zeppelin reunion tour. | |
| I mean, they were just... | |
| So they pretty much had the mosh pit going, right? | |
| Just about. | |
| Just about. | |
| They were absolutely thrilled to be there. | |
| Couldn't have been more excited. | |
| Cornel West was the opening speaker, and he presented like a preacher. | |
| Talking to the choir, so they were very excited. | |
| All the other crowds had been good, but not quite on fire that way. | |
| So you can confirm the enthusiasm gap between Hillary's crowds and Bernie's? | |
| Yeah, I did see that. | |
| Hillary's crowd was enthusiastic. | |
| Bernie's was off the charts. | |
| It was really almost like either a revival meeting or some major, major... | |
| You know, biggest band in the world, like you're coming to see the Rolling Stones or something like that. | |
| And it was fairly, it was not huge, it was several hundred people, but the energy was just crazy. | |
| Okay, so tell us, let's compare the GOP events that you've been to then. | |
| Give us kind of a breakdown of what you witnessed there. | |
| Well, unfortunately, I had to miss the Rubio event yesterday because I had some work to do. | |
| They were describing, according to my friends, and they also went to Christie, let's see, they did Christie, Rubio, and Paul. | |
| And they found that Trump was very, very general. | |
| Kind of very broad statements, not a lot of policy. | |
| According to my friends who've been to all the other events, there was much more policy detail from the other three GOP contenders that they've seen. | |
| So for your friends in attendance, was that a big concern to them then? | |
| We're here to learn about all of this. | |
| I don't think anyone from our group is... | |
| Particularly concerned on behalf of any of the candidates, I don't know if I'd put it that way, but they're interested in learning what do people care about, what do these different candidates have to say, but I think just as much it's about learning from the crowds. | |
| You know, what is the big applause line in this or that group? | |
| What's on folks' minds the most? | |
| And, you know, we're just learning about our fellow Americans that way. | |
| Well, Ana, I appreciate you being active in the process, so that's great. | |
| Any final words for our audience? | |
| Well, that's a very good question. | |
| Just make sure you come out and caucus. | |
| Whoever you are supporting, you know, do your part and make your voice heard. | |
| Alright, thank you so much. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Bye-bye. | |
| Take care. |
