To caucus in nevada, here are the remarks, starting with bernie sanders. Sen. Sanders thank you. I would like to thank the Clark County Democratic Party you houting] we love sen. Sanders thank you, i love you too i would like to find the Clark County Democratic Party for turning this state blue and helping send excellent United States senators to the senate. [applause] i was delighted to be here in 2018 to campaign for your great senator jacky rosen, and to help her win, and they look forward to returning to help elect more members of congress and state officials here in nevada. I am also delighted to be in the home state of my good friend harry reid. [applause] harry, i believe, will go down in history as one of the great Democratic Leaders of the United States senate. Harry, thank you very much for all that you do. [applause] , and it a few minutes want to make just a couple of points. First, while there is in a hotly contested democratic nomination process, i am absolutely confident that no matter who the is, r winner to say, i hope it is me but no matter who the winner will be, i have absolute confidence that we are all going to unite behind that candidate and the feet the most dangerous theident dust defeat of most dangerous president in the modern history of this country. [cheers and applause] we all understand the us i know we are supporting different candidates here, but we all understand that we cannot continue to have in office a president who is a pathological liar, who is running a corrupt administration, who has contempt for the constitution and the rule of law, and who is undermining american democracy. Donald trump, you will be a oneterm president. Get out of here. [applause] now, i am sure that all of my friends who are going to speak to you tonight are going to tell you why they think they are the strongest candidate to defeat trump, so let me start off by telling you what i think. Why i think i am the strongest candidate to defeat in order tohat is, win in november, we are going to need a multi generational, multiracial campaign of energy and excitement that creates the highest voter turnout in American History. [applause] campaign that brings out millions of nontraditional voters of all races, including those who have given up on the political process, and younger people who have never voted. Campaign iswhat our about. Iowa,e recent caucus in where we won the popular vote by 6000 votes, and transpose suggested that the voter turnout with people under 29 entrance polls suggested that voter turnout with people under 29 was higher than in 2016. That is what we are going to have to do in november. ,n the New Hampshire primary our campaign won almost every workingclass community in that state, which is something we also are going to have to do in november. We are going to have to bring the working class of this country back into the democratic party. [applause] in order to win in november, we are going to have to have strong support from the africanamerican community, the latino community, the asian community, and the native american community. We cannot take these communities in myanted anymore, campaign is successfully working to our and their support every single day. [applause] of youhave, and some know, been criticized by the corporate elites and the political establishment for bringing forth an agenda that they think is too radical and twtoo extreme. I respectfully disagree. The agenda that we are bringing forth is exactly the agenda the working class of this country want. [applause] that my proposal for a 15 an hour minimum wage has already passed in seven states as well as the u. S. House of representatives. [applause] states andthat communities all over this country are already moving forward to make public colleges and universities tuitionfree and support for counseling all is extremely popular. [applause] and i am very proud that just today, in a major article in n, one of the most influential medical journals in the world, of the case was made for why we must move toward medicare for all, singlepayer. Quote,icle states, and i taking into account both the cost of coverage expansion and the savings that would be achieved through the medicare for all act, we calculate that a singlepayer universal Health Care System is likely to lead to a 13 savings in National Healthcare expenditure equivalent to more than 450 r. Ion a year in addition, the article points out that medicare for all will save some 60,000 lives a year, people who die because they dont get to a doctor because of no insurance. [applause] in other words, under medicare for all, we provide comprehensive health care to every man, woman, and child and save hundreds of billions of dollars by eliminating the profiteering and greed of the health care industry. In nevada and all over this country, there is growing concern about Climate Change. And i am proud to have introduced the most comprehensive Climate Change proposal ever brought forth by any candidate for president. [applause] the simple truth is that if we love our kids, our grand children and future generations, we must tell the fossil fuel industry that their shortterm profits are not more important than the future of this planet. And under the Green New Deal that we have introduced, we are going to create up to 20 million goodpaying union jobs as we transform our Energy System away from fossil fuel to Energy Efficiency and sustainable energies. And let me also say about the current campaign, that regardless of how much money a multibillionaire candidate is willing to spend on his election , we will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat donald trump if that candidate pursued, advocated for and enacted racist policies like stop and frisk [applause] which forced communities of color in his city to live in fear. We will not defeat donald trump with a candidate who, in 2015, stated, and i quote, i for example im not in favor, have never been in favor of raising he minimum wage. We will not defeat donald trump with a candidate who opposed modest proposals during Barack Obamas presidency to raise taxes on the wealthy while advocating for cuts to medicare and social security. We will not defeat donald trump with a candidate who, instead of holding the crooks on wall street accountable, blamed the end of racist policies such as redlining for the financial crisis. [applause] the simple truth is that mayor bloomberg, with all his money, will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat donald trump [applause] once again, let me thank all of you for the enormously important work you are doing in this 2020 election, the most on sequential election in the modern history of our country. Let us go forward the most consequential election in the modern history of our country. Let us go forward to beat donald trump. Let us go forward to transfer of our country. Thank you very much. [applause] [cheers and applause] all right. I love the energy in this room. Our nextady for speaker now . Our next candidate come on please give it up for tom steyer. [applause] hello you guys . hello nevada i me say this, today was fantastic first day of caucus voting, nevada. Almost 12,000 votes. Have been say, i coming to nevada since the summer of 1976 when i came here to work for 100 a month as a ranch hand in gardnerville, nevada. Worst pay i have ever had in my whole life, and the most fun. Let me say this. I know that people think of me as a rich person, but that is not how i think about myself at all. My mother was a teacher in the new york public schools. And when she retired as a teacher, she went and talked prisoners in a broken house taught prisoners in the broken house of detention. My father was the first generation in his family to go to college. He graduated from college at 18. My grandfather was a plumber. School,r went to law left the war to go to the navy in world war ii, because my parents were depressionera, world war ii babies who thought, you show up when the nation called. Prosecuted thehe nazi war criminals at the nuremberg trials. And let me say, what he had to criminals, what he told my brothers and me growing up is, when you see something deeply wrong at the heart of your society, it is your responsibility to show up and fight it. That is what they call the need to impeach movement. Inn you see something wrong america at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, you show up and fight it. Over a. 5 million americans signed that petition and drug washington into the idea that there is something that is right and wrong today, not just a political advantage. Business and build it into a multibillion Dollar International business and i walked away from it. I took a pledge to give most of my money to good causes what i am alive. Yearshave spent over 10 putting together coalitions of americans to fight unchecked corporate power. Let me say this, we have never lost. They are not that smart. Washington too take on those same corporations who fought our government, and get back to government of, why and for the people of the United States. I started one of the biggest grassroots organizations in the United States, next jan america. We have been in nevada our seventh or eighth year. Is on 10 campuses. It partners with labor unions in nevada. In 2016, we knocked on 500,000 doors in nevada. Nevada came through in 2016, if you will remember. 500,000 doorsover in nevada in 2018. Totally blew in 2018, if youll remember. You is ape to do with template for the whole of the United States of america, strong unions, grassroots organizing, governor, democratic two democratic u. S. Senators, Democratic State senate and Democratic State legislature. That is what i call success. [applause] so let me say this, what that means is, if we do that this year in 2020, then we get what everybody in this room once, which is Affordable Health care as a constitutional right for every american. [applause] it is quality Public Education starting with universal preschool as a constitutional right for every american. [applause] it is a living wage. 7. 25 is an insult to working americans. Nevada has raised the minimum wage. 15ve been fighting for since 2012, going out to people to strike at mcdonalds. But let me say this, and people have quoted me a fair wage today is 22 an hour. There has been a 40year war on working people starting with the breaking the air Traffic Controllers union. We have to fight back. I have been with unions in every single political fight of my life. First partner, best partner, last partner. [applause] i have fought for positions against Oil Companies and beat them, against Tobacco Companies who had won 17 times in a row and eat them, i pushed question 6 in 2018 in nevada 50 clean energy by 2030. I have done that around the country. We have never lost to these corporations. They are not that smart. , iare going to have look believe clean air and clean water are a constitutional right for every american. I am the only person in this race who will say that climate is my number one priority. And i say it knowing that i will start with environmental justice, with cleaning up the air and water in the black and brown communities where we concentrate our poison, and we will rebuild this country and create over 4. 5 million Good Union Jobs every single year for as far as the eye can see. [applause] those are some of the things that we are fighting for. But what we have to remember is, number one job, beat donald trump. Running on, he is because he tells us. He basically has told the American People you know i am a criminal. You. Now i despise 80 of you know i am a man of low morals. But you have to vote for me because i am good on the economy. And here is what i say, baloney true. S not i spend 20 years building a business where i had to understand what it took to create growth, prosperity, and jobs. I can take on mr. Trump. And every time he says the economy is growing say, yeah, but all the money is going to rich people. Every time he says there is no unemployment, i can say, yeah, but you cant live on those jobs. 7. 25 is an insult to working people. Every time he says the stock market is going up, i can say, it is. You gave those companies a gigantic tax break, but most people dont own stocks. Thats what i call the maralago economy. Its great for the people at the maralago country club, but its no good for working people across the United States of america. [cheers and applause] what i am talking about is calling him out on the stage and making him look like a liar that he is. 4. 5also, i am talking about Million Union jobs every year, the biggest work program in history. I am talking about a 10 tax cut for every single american who , and iess than 250,000 am talking about a minimum wage at least double what we have right now. Talking about an economy that actually works for the American People. So first of all, we have to beat him on the economy, and second of all, we have to do what nevada has proved democrats can do, which is show up. Grassrootsng to be a turnout election where it is going to be critical. We know they will show up. They always show up. We can stop worrying. They show up. The only question is, are we showing up . That question is going to be answered. We need a candidate who can pull together this party. Thats wide nevada is so critical. This is the first diverse that is why nevada is so critical. This is the first diverse state. This state reflects the wonderful diversity of america and the incredible diversity of the democratic party. But his wife this is such an important test, who are your votes are so critical and so important, because this is the time we will find out who the candidates are really can pull together this party across racial lines, across ethnic lines, across geographic lines, and across philosophies. So actually, nevada is going to be the first step to winning the white house in november of 2020. This state is the test. [cheers and applause] and the last thing i want to say is this, i know the job is to 0. N in november 2 i know the job is to get grassroots turnout, and i have done that across the country and here in nevada. Biggestcould be the voteras the biggest registration in 2018. I am not promising i will kick his asked on the economy, i can s on the economy, and i will do it. That is my promise to you. I will take on corporations and not lose. I will restore the rights to health care, a living wage, education, clean air and clean water, and i will kick Donald Trumps ass on the debate. Stage thank you nevada. It is wonderful to be back here with you. Have a great night. [cheers and applause] tom steyer, everybody i love the energy in this room. Should we keep it going . Are you ready to hear from the next candidate. Stage welcome to the senator Elizabeth Warren [cheers and applause] sen. Warren hello clark county democrats so got [applause] good news and bad news. Selfies,is that after i picked up somebodys cold. Good news is, nevertheless, she persists [applause] i am on this stage tonight because i am a fighter. You bet. I come buy it naturally. After my daddy had a heart carck, my family lost the and was on the edge of losing her house when i watched my mother fight back to save our family. I am here tonight because of all the people who have run for Public Office that you will hear from tonight. I am one who has been a politician, unelected official for the shortest period of time. I spent my life as a teacher and working on one central issue you bet, lets hear it for our teachers. [cheers and applause] and working on one central issue, and that is what is happening to working families in america. Is americas middle class being hollowed out . Why is it that our working people find the path today so much rockier and so much steeper. And for people of color, even rockier and even steeper . I have worked on this issue putting much all my grownup , and starting in the late 1990s i started ringing the alarm bells about the coming crash, about banks that were taking advantage of families over mortgages, over credit cards. And you know what i discovered, if you rang all the you can ring all the alarm bells you when peoples ears are stuffed with money, they dont hear them. [applause] and stayed in this fight, in the crash of 2008, harry reid asked me to come to washington to bring a little accountability to the tank bailout. Thus to the bank bailout. That started my path. Saw the crashen i and saw how many millions of people lost their homes, lost their savings, lost their jobs, i was determined that this would never happen again in america. So i got in that fight, and i had an idea for a Consumer Agency to make sure that big banks never have the chance again to cheat people on mortgages and credit cards and payday loans and student loans. Idea i wass not an elected official, but i went to washington and then knocked on doors. Democrat, republican, i didnt care, because i was out there fighting for working families. And here is what i discovered, people heard and they listened to the idea and they said two things to me. The first one, huh, that is actually a good idea. , it could actually make a difference. The second one was dont even try. You will be up against big wall street, big donors, up against all the republicans, and you will be up against half the democrats. Youll never get it done. I get it. Big structural change is hard. But it was the right thing to do. The fight, and i got allies in this fight. The first groups to come in with the unions, who got into the fight. The naacp that got into the fight. Consumers union that got into the fight. Aarp that got into the fight. And in 2010, president barack obama signed that agency into law. [cheers and applause] that is how we win. And we can make government work for t
