-♪ Good to be with you all today. Welcome to this wonderful place. Let's be successful. And now, let me see this. I officially open the 2018 USA curling arena nationals. Good luck to all of you. Thank you. How are you doing afternoon? Go like you're running again? Yeah, I am actually. How are you doing? What ways is politics like curling? Politics is like sport for a number of reasons. One is because there's no fake news in sport. The event is over, the score is final. Number two, the Russians always try and cheat. And number three, the people of Utah usually get things right. So I'm pretty happy with all the above. Actually, I sort of like that. That's pretty good. You ran for office in the 90s? In the Clinton era. You ran in the Bush era? In Massachusetts. You ran for president in the Obama era. So now you're running for public office in the Trump era. How's that different? I don't know that it's different. You express what you believe. I think for people for whom this is their occupation. Politics is something they have to succeed at or their life has been a failure. I don't feel that way. And so it's very different for me. I had my career. Raised my family was active in my community and church. And had a successful business. And I see politics as a way to make a difference. Things I care about. And if people choose someone else, fine. I can go back to my life. But the climate is just a little different now. I mean, I'm not even asking you to talk about Donald Trump per se. But just this world. I've never seen a single person dominate news coverage and the political environment. And quite the way that the president does. Yeah, no question. But the president is an enormous presence. And the public and large is more divided than political issues that I've never seen. I've never seen during my life. And bitterly divided. And part of the candidates put also that's the nature of the media today. I just want to ask you what these men by this. You said about Trump. You said his first year is very similar to things I'd have done in my first year. The things he's actually done have been better than I expected. So in what ways does Trump. Sure, so you're been like what around me first year would have been like? Well, when I ran in 2012. I suggested that there were a number of things that I could help raise wages in our country and improve our economy. One was to lower the corporate tax rate. Now, president Trump lowered the rate further than I would. And I've also been very effective in trying to deregulate various parts of our government. They're also in places where he's tweeted things or done things that I've disagreed with. And I pointed that out as well. Thank you.
