Transcript

00:00Young people listened to Donald Trump, to Bernie Sanders, and they said,

00:06yeah, democratic, that's good. Socialism, yeah, that's that social media stuff.

00:12Younger people are the future of this country.

00:16We don't need Medicare-for-all proposals that are more likely

00:19to re-elect Donald Trump than to expand coverage.

00:22Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege.

00:27I can't think of a ways that would make it easier for Donald Trump

00:30to get re-elected than listening to this conversation.

00:33It's ridiculous. We're not going to throw out capitalism.

00:38We tried that. Other countries tried that. It was called communism and it just didn't work.

00:43They may hate democratic socialism because it benefits working people,

00:50but they absolutely love corporate socialism that enriches Trump and other billionaires.

00:57What a wonderful country we have. The best known socialist in the country

01:01happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What'd I miss here?

01:04Mike Bloomberg owns more wealth than the bottom 125 million Americans.

01:11That's wrong. That's immoral. That should not be the case when we got a half a million people

01:16sleeping out on the street where we have kids who cannot afford to go to college.

01:21Should you have earned that much money?

01:24Yes. I worked very hard for it and I'm giving it away.

01:28I'm spending that money to get rid of Donald Trump, the worst president we have ever had.

01:34Billionaires in this country saw an $850 billion increase in their wealth.

01:40Congratulations, Mr. Bloomberg.

01:42But the average American last year saw less than a 1% increase in his or her income.

01:48That's wrong.

01:49Been very lucky, made a lot of money, and I'm giving it all away

01:52to make this country better. And a good chunk of it goes to the Democratic Party as well.

01:56We got a former mayor of New York City who has a record. Every reason in the

02:01world he's entitled to run for president. No problem with that. Smart guy.

02:06But he is spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the election.

02:12There is something wrong with that.

02:14You can join me at mikebloomberg.com too if you want, but I'm not asking for any money.
