00:00Ending before you, I think of the words of Jawaharlal Nehru.
00:07A moment comes but rarely in history.
00:12When we step out from the old to the new.
00:15When an age ends and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.
00:21Tonight we have stepped out from the old into the new.
00:24So let us speak now with clarity and conviction that cannot be misunderstood.
00:33About what this new age will deliver and for whom.
00:37This will be an age where New Yorkers expect from their leaders a bold vision of what we will achieve.
00:44Rather than a list of excuses for what we are too timid to attempt.
00:48I am young despite my best efforts to grow older.
00:52I am Muslim.
00:58I am a democratic socialist.
01:05And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this.
01:11After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.
01:21And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.
01:34This is not only how we stop Trump, it is how we stop the next one.
01:47So Donald Trump, since I know you are watching.
01:51I have four words for you.
01:55Turn the volume up.
01:57We will hold bad landlords to account.
01:58Because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far away.
01:59We will hold bad landlords to account.
02:00We will hold bad landlords to account.
02:02Because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants.
02:07We will hold bad landlords to account.
02:08We will hold bad landlords to account.
02:21We will hold bad landlords to account.
02:22We will hold bad landlords to account.
02:23Because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants.
02:28We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks.
02:43We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know, just as Donald Trump does, that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed.
03:02New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants.
03:12And as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
03:13So hear me, President Trump, when I say this.
03:39When I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.
03:47So hear me, President Trump.
03:50When I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.
