LET'S PICK THINGS UP THERE WITH TONIGHT'S POLITICAL INSIDER.

JOINING ME:
[TAKE: NEWSROOM]{***NEWSROOM***}
JESSICA TAYLOR, CAMPAIGN EDITOR FOR ''THE HILL''.
[TAKE: DOUBLE BOX]{***DOUBLE BOX***}
WE'RE OFF TO THE RACES -- WITH TED CRUZ BECOMING THE FIRST TO ANNOUNCE A
PRESIDENTIAL BID.
JESSICA-- HE'S BEEN TRAILING IN THE POLLS. WHAT KIND OF ADVANTAGE DOES HE
GET BY ANNOUNCING FIRST?
-CRUZ MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO A PACKED HOUSE AT LIBERTY UNIVERSITY -- BUT
THERE'S A CATCH. NUMEROUS REPORTS INDICATE STUDENTS WERE REQUIRED TO
ATTEND THIS SPEECH AS PART OF A WEEKLY ''CONVOCATION'' CEREMONY.
WHY WOULD HE CHOOSE THIS VENUE... AND HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN FOR
CRUZ TO GATHER AN AUDIENCE... ON HIS OWN MERIT?
-THE TEXAS SENATOR HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE AMONG HIS COLLEAGUES ON
CAPITOL HILL. WILL HE STAND A CHANCE AGAINST OTHER, MORE POPULAR
PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS? AND... THAT BEING SAID ... CAN THE REST OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY IGNORE THE ''FOLLOWING''... HE'S CREATED?
-LET'S GET DOWN TO THE SUBSTANCE OF HIS SPEECH.
CRUZ MADE SOME PRETTY BOLD CLAIMS -- INCLUDING THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
IS IT A GOOD STRATEGY TO COME OUT SO FAR RIGHT? HE COULD EVENTUALLY FACE A
GENERAL ELECTION -- WHERE HE MAY NEED TO BE MORE MODERATE.
-WHILE THE G-O-P PLAYING FIELD IS PACKED -- HILLARY CLINTON STILL STANDS AS
THE FRONT RUNNER FOR DEMOCRATS.
WHO'S THE BIGGEST COMPETITION? AND IS THE E-MAIL SCANDAL HURTING?
-QUICKLY BEFORE YOU GO, WHO CAN WE EXPECT TO ANNOUNCE NEXT?#

IN TONIGHT'S BUSINESS INSIDER, "UNITED STATES WEAPON SYSTEMS."

THE PENTAGON RELIES HEAVILY ON RARE EARTH ELEMENTS. THESE MATERIALS
HOWEVER, ARE MONPLOIZED BY CHINA, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR THE U.S. TO GET
THEIR HANDS ON. FOR MORE, WE TURN TO OUR GUEST TONIGHT ON CAPITAL INSIDER.
[TAKE PKG]{***PKG***}
JILL AITORO, SENIOR STAFF REPORTER FOR THE WASHINGTON BUSINESS JOURNAL.
[TAKE: DOUBLE BOX]{***DOUBLE BOX***}
JILL, WHAT ARE RARE EARTHS AND WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT TO THE PENTAGON?
-HOW DOES CHINA CONTROL THE RARE EARTH'S MARKET?...AND AS A RESULT, HOW
MUCH IS THE U.S. SPENDING ON THESE RESOURCES?
-ONE OF THE PENTAGON'S MOST EXPENSIVE PROJECTS, THE F-35 JOINT AIR STRIKER,
USES THESE ELEMENTS, BUT SOME SAY IT ISN'T NECESSARY. WHAT ARE THE
ALTERNATIVES?
-LETS SWITCH GEARS TO THE UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE.
U-L-A RECENTLY UNVEILLED A NEW REUSABLE ROCKET. WILL THIS GIVE THEM AN
ADVANTAGE OVER THEIR MAIN RIVAL, SPACE-X?
-THE U-L-A IS ALSO GIVING SPACE ENTHUSIASTS A CHANCE TO HELP NAME THE NEXT
ROCKET.
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
-BEFORE YOU GO, LETS TALK ABOUT ENGILITY'S NEW INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE AND WHO DOES IT EFFECT?#

IN TONIGHT'S POLITICAL INSIDER, "G-O-P MAJOR CONTENDERS."

WHILE TED CRUZ WAS THE FIRST CANDIDATE TO ANNOUNCE HIS PRESIDENTIAL BID,
HE CERTAINLY WON'T BE THE LAST. THE CLAWS ARE OFFICIALLY OUT AS HOSTILITY
HAS ALREADY FORMED BETWEEN POTENTIAL 20-16 NOMINEE'S. FOR MORE, WE TURN
TO OUR GUEST TONIGHT ON CAPITAL INSIDER.
[TAKE STUDIO]{***STUDIO***}
DAVE LEVINTHAL, SENIOR REPORTER WITH THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC INTEGRITY.
[TAKE: DOUBLE BOX]{***DOUBLE BOX***}

DAVE, ALTHOUGH NO ONE ELSE HAS ANNOUNCED AN OFFICIAL RUN FOR OFFICE, WHO
WILL BE CRUZ'S MAJOR COMPETITORS WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?
-SO FAR, JEB BUSH HAS RAISED THE MOST MONEY OUT OF ALL THE CANDIDATES. DOES
THIS SECURE HIM THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION?
-WHILE RAND PAUL ISN'T EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE HIS CANIDACY UNTIL EARLY APRIL,
HE IS ALREADY SPEAKING OUT AGAINST CRUZ. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MEGYN KELLY
FROM FOX NEWS, CRUZ STATED,
"THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CONSERVATIVES. TED CRUZ IS A CONSERVATIVE, BUT IT
ALSO GOES TO WINNABILITY. AND PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION: WHICH
IS THE REPUBLICAN THAT CAN NOT ONLY EXCITE THE BASE, BUT CAN ALSO BRING
NEW PEOPLE INTO THE PARTY WITHOUT GIVING UP PRINCIPLES?"
WHY IS PAUL ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE?
-REPORTS SUGGEST THAT CRUZ IS A LONG SHOT FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.
DO HIS HIGHLY CONSERVATIVE VIEWS STAND A CHANCE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION?
-LETS SWITCH GEARS. ELEVEN POTENTIAL REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIATES
ATTENDED THE A-E-I CONFERENCE ON MARCH 5TH.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORLD FORUM EVENT AND WHY IS IT SO EXCLUSIVE?
-THE 20-14 ELECTION CYCLE WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN HISTORY. WILL 20-16
OUTPACE THAT? HOW MUCH HAS ALREADY BEEN RAISED?#
