Full interview with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg 

BLOOMBERG SPOKE VERY CALM, NICE, EASY TONE AND HE IS EXPLAIN VERY DETAILS WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD FOR THE VIEWS TO UNDERSTAND..WELL DONE, SIR.

I had never had a chance to listen to him. He is a very knowledgeable person with experience in government and business. Now he is running for president. I think he would be good president.

After I do some due diligence research on him and he passes my vetting, He’ll be getting my vote in the primaries. This guy is the most moderate sensible guy I’ve heard from, this guy just makes sense. He’s a higher ground kind of guy it seems.

Bloomberg /Klobuchar? She is so great. He is so solid.

A proper man who clearly loves his country and the human race. Full marks to him.

Mr. Bloomberg clearly has done his homework and has solutions. Breath of fresh air I would welcome his ideas.

This gentleman can do it!

The most logical presidential candidate for 2020 .

As New Yorker, Bloomberg is my hero. He was an outstanding mayor who noticeably and drastically improved the quality of our live. He was innovative, knowledgeable and says what he means and means what he says (unlike Liar-in-Chief). He is also big-time philanthropist wherever one goes (museums, public buildings, etc.) one can see his generosity is ever-present. His environmental activism shows he puts big money on where his mouth is. Thank Mayor Bloomberg, you are the best. It was fortunate for having you as mayor. Your values and actions truly embody the best of New Yorkers unlike the other New Yorker whose policies, values and actions don't reflect what New Yorkers believe.

Oh man, I really loved this interview-- someone who speaks and actually knows what they are talking about. Diplomacy, compassion, kindness, a deep understanding of finance and business, and even a touch of humor.... all things missing in our current WH occupant. I can't believe I am going to say this, but I can see myself jumping onboard.

Thank you mr b., very nice gesture!, u the man og!, nice transparency of leadership sir!,

Also a real American who cares about the country, unlike the immature narcissist in the white house.

He said the tax breaks for corporations was good but we shouldn’t have given any to individuals.👎🏼

Even though it's an old interview, it's refreshing listening to someone who can answer questions directly and in an intelligent manner instead of spin or ignoring the question like EVERYONE in the Trump Administration does. He could be the commonsense centralist the Democrat party needs right now to defeat Trump.

He will make a great president. He is a self made man and I agree with him on almost all issues.

Who else just got this recommended after one whole year? Still nice to hear. An astute man.

Thank you for your important contribution, Mr Bloomberg!

To those (Jonny H) who say he's buying the election which may seem unfair; when was life ever fair? Don't punish a self-made man who has a record of generously putting his money in all the right places. I see someone whose clearly as concerned as I am about DT winning the next election & he's putting his money where his mouth is when he could be relaxing on his own island living like a King for heaven's sake! The more I hear him, the more it's a nobrainer.

Run, Mr. Bloomberg, please, please run for president. We need a rational, ethical and well-informed person in office. We need you.

Now here's a REAL businessman, a REAL billionaire, a REAL man. Someone with a REAL sense of humanity, community and responsibility to his country and the world. How sad and shameful for all of us that we have a pathological liar and narcissist instead. instead

Thank you Mayor Michael Bloomberg. As a Billionaire your political challenges are clear to me. May your efforts be fruitful.

Thank you Mr. President Bloomberg for your intelligence, decency, generosity and caring to save Mother Earth. We appreciate you!

Micheal: thanks so much for covering our obligations and commitments

I want to see someone is focus to help american getting better life and happier then before, I think Mike Bloomberg is going to be a good President and have better heart then Trump's, Face the Nation to help American in hardship, homeless, senior, disabilty live a better life is President have to have a big heart toward the American People with love and care in our future and Mike Bloomberg might make every man, women, and children happy and care to each other, people will stop getting angry, crazy, mad, sad. The nation have to be unified together, as america is number one, rich and power in the world. So why so many people getting homeless, sick, and poor, I need someone like Mike Bloomberg I think he cares more than Trump. I think Mayor Mike Bloomberg is nice man, and I think he care for American people more than other foreigner. First is help American first then help others beside our own people. May God Bless America, I hope God will choose a good man like Mike Bloomberg to be 2020 President. I wished I have a good health so I can work in the White House as think tanker I like to help within my knowledge and my ability... I like to see no more homeless in on street and turnel outside in the rain and the sun. I think people are sick need a good life as American...not like a slum world... Lots of people now are not happy about Trump the way he treat the sick, poor, and senior...Because he never live in a poor, sick, and bad luck in life.... He doesn't know how we feel He doesn't know how suffer we live life now May God Bless America... Please Mike Bloomberg help us here in USA whom need help and need to get help more then bring in foreigner to come to USA buy our house and give them visa and citizenship because the foreigner have money... You don't know these people are good or bad people...????

Revisiting this interview, and I’m glad I did. It was excellent!

I am researching and watching this man closely. Could he really beat trump?

I love that Bloomberg's strongest pushback was on her description of Pres. Trump as a businessman. No, No, No he's not one ours, LOL

Wow, a smart guy that speaks in complete sentences and actually makes sense. How refreshing . . .

Mayor Bloomberg, I have watched several of your speeches, I am really thrilled with two aspects of your Presidential run: 1. You can beat President Trump with an ugly stick🙄, another words, you are not afraid of the current President. 2. I appreciate your interaction with the audience and all the news reporters. The American people are terrified. We must work together to bring different segments of society together. I often think of the statement: We are only as strong as our weakest link. God Bless You and Your Family.

Do you see the difference between this man and Trump. So wonderful to listen to specific details as opposed to braggadocious pump yourself up (Trumpism) Mr. Bloomberg speaks clearly, concisely and doesn't leave me confused. Thank you Mr. Bloomberg.

If America was determined to elect a billionaire New Yorker to the presidency, this is the one they should have voted for.

MB is really smart, he is and I know it.

I decided to vote for Mike before he said he wanted the job.

Extra Ordinary Man. #Bloomberg2020

Wow, kudos to you, Mr. Bloomberg! How nice of you to, personally, take action on climate change that will benefit us all. Thank you!

What a fantastic gesture!

Probably just the right time

Impressed with him. And, he may be able to rid us of Trump.

Bloomberg is by far the most substance and material based speaker. More specific than any other presidential candidate I've seen.

I think he is the best choice for 2020

Mike is a good guy .

The more he talks, the more I like him

walks it like he talks it, have to respect that, 4.5M ain't chump change.

Bloomberg for President

WOW he has my vote! He is so intelligent and actually answers questions direct and has a great disposition. I see him being our next President.

Bloomberg is an American patriot. Thank you Sir, for everything you do. I'm not a Republican, but I can recognize an honorable Republican and American when I see one.

"be the change you want to see" Thank you Mr. Bloomberg !!

Hot damn that’s a great use of your $. Thanks Mike.

Not what you can do, want you can do for your Country! JFK speech, Mr. Bloomberg giving back.

Thanks Mike

Bloomberg will do great things as US Secretary of State. We need that!!

This was a very good interview.

This video shows that Bloomberg is smart, alert, and totally presidential. Clearly prepared and able to do a good job as the next president. He gives me hope!

Bloomberg is the one people! Let's go!

OMG.. Now I want to work for him if I could

Hard to find fault here, he's sensible and intelligent, unlike the demagogue we have now. He's what's needed, not Bernie, not Warren....this man is who the country needs.

If he gets Trump out of the WH ,and I think he has the best chance, that would be by far his best legacy to the country,because I have no doubt he would be a way better president than Trump,he is a better person,,humble,compassionate,articulate and a real businessman,50 times richer than Trump and 50 times more inteligent..He’s got my vote.Bloomberg 2020👍

The government can do a great deal more via encouraging the switch from oil to solar and wind.

He is competent and looks like the best option to beat Trump. I am for ABT (anyone but Trump)

Margaret Brennan is great in terms of letting Mr.Bloomberg to speak.... Most moderators never do that.

America can do it's part. Apparently part of us is already doing it. Thank you for your leadership and contribution. We do see, Mr. Bloomberg. The Administration is deconstructing departments and rescinding administrative rules, making the law impossible to enforce instead of enforcing the spirit of the laws enacted.

Smart guy...im glad he will enter the 2020 race!

That man is a real deal. Very easy to follow.

Very good interview, thank you.

So refreshing to listen to this man who speaks TO ALL OF US and NOT AT US. He speaks from experience, with respect, with intelligence and heart. Want a savior? Here he is. VOTE.

I am so grateful for this wonderful man speaking out for the best things for our country!

Love Bloomberg 👍

I like this guy!

Love this man! America would be better with a leader like Mike Bloomberg!

Good man ❤️🙌🏼💪🏼

It's incredible. Like a generalist who know a ton of specialities.

Bloomberg clearly did his homework here, and the moderator is generating a very constructive dialog. Let's remember, however, how our President promised the coal miners their jobs back; i.e., told them what they wanted to hear rather than speaking the truth of the matter. His whole motive was to discredit Hillary's admission of the truths that Bloomberg represents, and he succeeded at hoodwinking the media about the significance of this issue to our whole nation.

Mr. Bloomberg, you are a gentleman and a sir.

Am campaigning and voting for Mike!

Protect BIG insurance companies and not holding China responsible at all for polluting the environment... Got it Bloomie 👌

This is Maria, THANK you for your contribution! This times are turning dark when there is respect nature that in the end is affecting people worldwide!

I’m surprised at “this” Mike Bloomberg. Very cogent, thoughtfully answers. I guess now that I’ve heard this interview, I’ll vote for him if I have to. But, Bernie first.

What a thoughtful person - - Bravo New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg

The action of a great man.

Smart guy who thinks clearly and is articulate!

Best interview ever on FTN?

I WANT THIS KIND OF THINKING PERSON FOR PRESIDENT NOW!!!! SMART, STRONG, RESPONSIBLE, HONEST, CARING ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AS WELL AS THE WORLD!!!!!

It's normalizing how companies should hire relatives of employees.

Solid, practical, intelligent, cultured, and hope he gathers several billionaires together to kick in to rid our country of the malignancy of Trump.

Because our mental state is constantly changing please tell me how this would help!! All it takes is one traumatic event in ones life to change someones mental state!

If he would run for president.....

I plan to vote for Mike Bloomberg as our next President. He does not say anything I don’t agree with. We need positive changes and ideas. Thank you very much.

Panda Express has a ton of networking with leadership conferences.

Tatiana Todorova. Unite all the progressive civilized democratic forces around Mike Bloomberg to defeat evil!

a satisfying interview-informative, clarifying, encouraging, dare I say inspiring-inspite of the host. kudos to Mayor Bloomberg. thank u sir for your example. Ms Brennan may I suggest that u look to the example of John Dickerson. he on the whole was well informed and above all respectful of and attended well to what the interviewer said. and because he prepared well on comprehensive level he could engage the interviewer in a way that allowed us the audience to better "get" the matter at hand and he mettle of the interviewee. also he knew NOT to provoke to push his agenda. that to me speaks of respect for the interviewee, the audience, and his role.

The tax cut for corporations made a lot of sense??? The tax cut for individuals took away the money we needed for infrastructure???? WTF??

Sven is still calling for the ultimate goal of nullifying PoTUS 45

The best of all the candidates,if he runs.I hope he does.

His arm will never be the same....Never saw anyone pat their self on the back so hard or long....

I agree, the more he talks and the more I hear, the more I like him. What concerns me is the baggage he carries from the "stop and frisk" deal. I am not a New Yorker and I am not black or Hispanic . . . . and it seems to me there are a sizable amount of people of color who consider this a deal-breaker, and reasonably so from their perspective. I hope this can be overcome. I personally think Bernie would make a better president, but it looks like Bloomberg is capable and on the level and may well be more electable. What I would really like to see is Bernie as the candidate with Bloomberg's support (and possibly sharing the ticket?). Bernie is old, a bit too Jewish for some who care (albeit inappropriately) about such bigoted crap, and most of all, he carries the albatross of the buzzword "Socialist" for the large number of people who refuse to take the time to understand what that means (we are already part socialist, and this in no way SHOULD be a deal-breaker any more than Bernie's being a Jew) . . . . . Logic is not the strong suit of bigots, to understate it politely, and although I believe Bloomberg is also a Jew, he does not appear "as Jewish" as Bernie, which makes it less of a factor to the anti-semites I would think . . . . logically it makes no sense, but neither does racism or anti-semitism. I believe I am correct on this point.

Intelligent man. He would make a great president

Very very very Intelligent

He sounds very nice in this interview. I probably would want to listen to his policies more if I didn't see his interview from a few years ago. He said young people might be confused with 'socialism' and 'social media'. Actually Bernie pursues 'Democratic Socialism' such as in Sweden. It is totally different than old days socialism. It combines good things from capitalism and socialism. After I studied about Sweden politics, I realized they have the most advanced fair society in the whole world. They already have almost everything Bernie said. I wish Michael by now understand the difference between them. Then I will respect him more.

i live in colorado and like a week before thanksgiving we got about 18 inches of snow in 3 days with no blizzard and we havent gotten that much snow since the blizzard we had like 10 years ago (of course the blizzard was like 4 feet high though) idk how u can prove global warming when we r getting more snow.
