Quality of life and utahs economic vibrancy. [applause] we must protect and steward these lands for our children and future generations. The Current Administration is a henhouse. Watching instead of protecting our public lands, air, and water, it is feasting on them for the shortterm benefit of a few powerful interests. We need to make that stop. The Trump Administration is guiding our nations most important environmental protections and Climate Change policies at shocking speed. My blood boils when i think about what is happening to the escalante. Case thoughtful protection and stewardship have been even rated eviscerated. We need a president who will reverse these exploiting, shortterm, legacy policies of a bygone era, embrace the future, unite the country, and defeat donald trump. Mike bloomberg will get the job done. Mike believes our historic stewardship of public lands, water, and the air we breathe is not only worth continuing that integral to Climate Change policies. I am supporting Mike Bloomberg because he has been helping make andworld greenert, cleaner, better for many decades. And he has done this work before. I was born and raised in and just outside of new york city and i content you that mike was an absolutely tremendous mayor of new york. In new york, he cuts in emissions by 13 making the air their cleaner than it has been for 50 years and he added 850 acres of parkland to the city. At the end of 2013, 70 6 of all new yorkers lived within a 10 minute walk of a park or playground. And unlike the president , Mike Bloomberg believes in Climate Change and has been attacking it for years. Unlike the president , mike trusts facts. He believes in science and he puts citizens and the health of our country first. Partyless of your affiliation, we need a leader that will look reality in the eye and fight for our land, water, air, in a vibrant, healthy and future and prosperous future for all of us. And Mike Bloomberg is that leader. Delay, it isurther my pleasure to introduce to you the next president of the United States, Mike Bloomberg mr. Bloomberg hello. Hello. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Everyone. O, it is great to be back in utah. Every time i come here, i look at the mountains, the valley, yupsalt lake and i think , this is the place. I have a question for all of you and i mean no offense by this but let us say Brigham Young showed up today and the question is will he settle in Salt Lake City or given the construction on i 15 being so bad, he called his home instead . Peter, thank you for your kind introduction and support. I want to say that he gave a introduction she read it just the way i wrote it. It was perfect. He and i seriously have a lot in common. He is also a champion for the environment and for making this date and other spaces so special. Thank you for that fight. We owe you a round of applause. I also want to thank lauren and our whole team here and what everyone is doing to help us win on super tuesday. As lauren said, i was here in salt lake last month and we had a great event but the energy is even better today. And just like last night at the debate, except the other people on this stage were actually happy to see me now, now, i know what it is like to be a utah fan in provo during the holy war. How was your night last night . Look, the real winner in the debate last night was donald trump. Because i worry that we may very well be on our way to nominating someone that cannot win in november and if we choose a candidate that appeals to a small these like senator sanders, it will be a fatal error. A new democrats, independents, and republicans to win and that and that was the coalition that propelled democrats to success in the midterms and it is the coalition that we need to win in november. And that will not happen with pieinthesky promises and proposals that will bankrupt the country. Voters do not want empty talk, they want leadership. Handwaving andt fingerpointing, they want common sense ideas that can become real policy. As a election is just too important and the stakes are too high and we cannot afford to get it wrong. So, we are here today yes [applause] we are here today because we are building a campaign we think can compete everywhere because we believe no state is to read for the democratic party. For the democratic party. And no voter is too conservative to help us make donald trump a one term president. Fighting forudes the six electoral votes right here in utah. Mcadams proved a democrat can win a congressional seat to hear. See romney proved that some can break here. In november, we are going to prove that a democratic candidate for president can win here statewide. But we are not just going to compete here in utah. We are going to compete in blue states, purple states, and red states across the country and we are going to win finally putting this country back together. But to do that, we need to nominate someone who can build a Broad Coalition that attracts voters from all across the spectrum and that is why i am running for president. Because this is not an election where we can just roll the dice. So let me be clear i am running to defeat donald trump. Running to restore honor to our government. To build a country that we are proud of. And to start getting things done. Theto start putting united back in the United States of america. , this is a national emergency. We might not recover from doctoral more years of trump from four more years of trump. The stakes could not be higher. The way to defeat him is to build the broadest possible coalition. The way to defeat him is with workable, sensible solutions to our biggest challenges. We all know that trump is a bully but i say that i am a new yorker and i know how to deal with bullies. I did it all the time. I am not afraid of trump and he knows it and he sees our poll numbers and he is scared. That is why he tweets about me all the time. He knows we have a record and the resources to beat him and he knows if he keeps tweeting, he thinks im going to go away. , i am goingd tuesday more than you ever dreamed of. 2016, i spoke at the Dnc Convention and i warned back then that donald trump was not fit to be the president. Worked to help hold him accountable by flipping 21 house seats and making nancy pelosi the speaker and that is what started the impeachment process. But since the Republican Senate did not have the courage to remove the president from office, it is up to us to do that this november. Campaign foring a change, for sanity, for honesty, for inclusion, compassion and a campaign for human decency. Our campaign has been getting a great response all over america and now, we all know the trump strategy. We have been watching. Attack democrats. Make their plans look unrealistic, unaffordable, and not doable. That will not work against me because i offer a record of getting things done and common sense plans that are achievable. Does is what that is what voters want. That is not all we need to win. Let us face it donald trump is the worlds biggest schoolyard bully with no respect for civility, decency, fax, or honesty. And our party needs a candidate that can go toe to toe with him and take the fight to him. Thank you. Just think about the past few weeks. Busyresident has been insulting the democratic candidates. He does that a lot. When you cannot defend your record on health care, wages, or the environment, you resort to insults. A young kid does that. His insults do not bother me and you can rest assured that i never run away from a fight. Not going to bully me and i will not let him bully you either. Blessed andpretty there is nothing he can do or say that will hurt me but he has heard a lot of other people and that is why i am running. To stand up for every american that have lost their job or their insurance or could not pay their college tuition. My whole career has been as a doer and i believe we need less talk, less partisanship, less inon, less tweeting fact, i will make you a commitment right now. My i do this and all speeches. I commit that when i am president , no tweeting from the oval office ever again. I should point out it is easy for me to say that since i cannot spell. But then again, neither can donald. Even though donald and i are both from new york, the truth is that we could not be more different. In fact, i built myself as the the untruyself as mp. E is a climate denier i am an engineer and i actually believe in science. Imagine that. He tweets. I follow the facts. He does not respect the data and i look for the truth. I am a selfmade percent. I will raise the a state tax to revenue some of the general to raise some of the revenue that we need. You have all heard the slogan mike will get it done and if you have not, i have wasted an awful lot of money here. [laughter] let me tell you what meanst means it winning against donald trump and sending him back to maralago permanently. But that is just the beginning done meansting it finally providing Health Insurance to every american that lacks its and lowering cost to everyone else. And we can do it without a massive tax hike on the middle class and for think people to give up their private insurance. We can do it by building on obamacare and bringing down drug prices. Getting it done means passing common sense gun safety laws that protect our children and our community. Getting it done means making america a Global Leader in the fight against Climate Change. Means creating good jobs with higher wages. Addressingdone means discrimination and inequality. Means finallye fixing our broken immigration system and creating a path to citizenship for 11 Million People that are living in the shadows. And getting it done means protecting a womans right to appointing judges who will defend that right. Now, it will not be easy but we know i know we can do it because unlike other candidates, i do not just talk about things. I have a record of reaching across the aisle and getting things done. Let me give you some examples. Other candidates talk about raising teachers salaries. As mayor come in new york, i raised them 43 . Do you want good teachers . You have to pay them. For your cops, firefighters, and sanitation workers. They have a job and they want to do a great job. Talk about improving public schools. I raised Graduation Rates by more than 40 . Talk about improving health care in new york, i have cut the by 40 of uninsured improving care for mothers, babies, raising Life Expectancy by three whole years. You that iflling you have friends that you love dearly and you want them to stay around, move them to new york and on average, i cannot guarantee that everyone will live three years war, but if you send enough friends, they well. Others talk about fighting Climate Change. I cut new yorks carbon creating ay 13 Grassroots Movement closing more n 300 polluting coalfired cold powered plants across the country. Greenert jobs and a greener planet. About stopping gun violence. In new york city, we cut murders by 50 and i helped create a Gun Safety Group with 6 million members working to pass common sense gun laws in states across the country. Let me be clear. Clear. Make it my fellow democrats in this race are all good people and if one of them wins the nomination, god for bid, i will support her or him because this election is too important to have our Party Divided as it was in 2016. But i offer a different choice and a different kind of leadership. I did not spend my whole career in politics and i do not just go out and make speeches. I build teams and i nurture good ids and i hold myself accountable for results. I am the untrump. And that is how i run my business and that is how i ran new york city. I was elected seven weeks after the devastating terrorist attacks of 9 11. Our economy was in tatters. Smoke was still coming out of a big hole in the ground and our country was in recession. I brought people together in the city and we created nearly 500,000 new jobs, affordable housing, we reduced street homelessness by 23 . We launched a new program to fight poverty. And we built new york city stronger and better than ever and we can do this a cross the country. Anyone that needs something, we can get it done. Past two decades, i have taken on the toughest fights and i have wondered. And i have taken on donald trump and beaten him many times on gun safety, coal pollution and flipping the house blew after the 2018 elections and im ready to do it again. I cannot do it alone. I need your help, support, and vote. The work does not stop there. We need supporters to knock on doors and make phone calls. If you want quality Health Insurance for everyone. Inequality to combat with fair taxes and better jobs. If you want to support my commitment to holiday, Public Education a matter what zip code you live in. If you share my believe in opportunity for all and not just for a few. If you are ready to protect and defend the constitution of the and ifstates of america, you are ready to clean out the oval office and get things done welcome to bloomberg 2020. Thank you.
