michael bloomberg is very clear. he thinks donald trump is dangerous, a demagogue and needs to be defeated and he thinks he can do it. maria: howard wilson, his spokesperson, he said michael bloomberg doesn't see anybody on the stage that can beat droll, sos that's why he's -- beat donald trump, that's why he's entering the race. they're looking at him as a major moderate. i don't know if his strategies are -- policies are moderate. is he just competition for joe biden or is he flirting with progressive ideas as well? >> he's a moderate in comparison to today's democratic field. he's aggressive on cry mate changclimatechange and gun cont. that will attract democratic primary vote. he's not a moderate on fiscal things -- excuse me, he is a moderate on fiscal things. the other person who i think is hurt by his entry is pete buttigieg. i think he was trying to occupy that moderate lane and i think with biden kind of looking a little fragile, pete buttigieg has come up in a lot of the early voting polls and i think bloom

michael bloomberg was a great mayor of new york city. i lived there under rudy giuliani and michael bloomberg. all four of my kids were born in new york when he was mayor. i wish he would be mayor of new york city again. if he's going to jump in, the most important thing to note ise who will throw that money around the way billionaire never did. we were underresourced and staffed. hillary clinton showed the fastest way to make a small fortune is to waste one: michael bloomberg, is he welcome in his own democratic party? we have front-runners saying we don't want any billionaires in the country let alone in the democratic primary. >> brennan: i want to get on what's happening in washington with this week of hearings. the president has said he wants a trial in the senate. but then others at the white house say they're not even sure democrats will move ahead with impeachment. what exactly are you preparing for? >> brennan: >> we're preparing for both eventualities. if it does go to a trial in the senate. there are a lot of democrats ringing

let's say michael bloomberg were to get in this race. let's say michael bloomberg were to surprise a lot of folks and win the actual nomination. you have then a battle of the billionaires. what would that look like? >> like a lot of money spent. that's his pathway to being a serious contender at this point. it's not a crazy pathway. it's actually the tom steyer path. andrew yang makes a good point, bloomberg hasn't been in any of the early states. i'm not sure how high his name i.d. is at that point. i'm not sure voters know who he is. all the testing we have is months and months to years old. he does have to introduce himself. you can do that with money, with ads on tv, with digital. yes, they care about having the in-person conversations with him, but there are a lot of people looking at the field that say, look, we started with a huge field and we're still not totally decided. if someone comes in that looks a little different -- where democrats are starting this year, different than any other sielk, they're starting with who can win a

michael bloomberg getting in. >> no surprise that michael bloomberg wants to be president. but what is somewhat surprising is he may jump in this late. now that biden is struggling, bloomberg sees a potential path for another centrist. former businessman michael bloomberg preparing for a potential 2020 run. a spokesperson tells cnn that bloomberg will file necessary paperwork to get on the democratic primary ballot in alabama. that's despite suggesting earlier this year that he was ruling out a presidential run. >> when you look at the layout of who's going to vote and where the country is, i would be very unlikely to get re-elected -- to get elected, but in the private sector, i can make a difference. >> reporter: while bloomberg is filing now to meet the state's early deadline, he has yet to make a final decision on entering the race. >> he's a phenomenal entrepreneur and businessman. >> reporter: he's reconsidering the run because of his adversary president trump. >> i'm a new yorker and i know a con when i see one. >> reporter: cnn has learned that bloomberg is concerne

would a michael bloomberg like that? >> i think michael bloomberg -- >> neil: to steve. i apologize. >> sorry, would he do what? >> neil: would he like it? what he liked the fact about the markets? he couldn't argue with the president on that. >> americans go to the polls in november of 2020 and if they are voting on the economy, donald trump is going to win reelection. it's a booming economy. the middle class has benefited. the significance, here in washington i tell you, i talked to democratic operatives and why it's significant as democratic operatives are looking at the field and they believe they have a bunch of c- candidates frankly and they are looking for some alternative. maybe it is michael bloomberg. maybe it's michelle obama. but i do think you're going to see other entrants in the race. it's not too late. there's a lot of worry in this town among democrats that elizabeth warren may be, you know, kryptonite for the democrats. she may bring a lot of other democrats down with her. >> neil: we will watch it very, very closely. we did have a record on the bow tod

bloomberg said this michael bloomberg is going to have a rough time. >> yeah. i guess i would say we're past the apology tour phase of the primary. >> we are. maybe that was smart. >> better time for him to get in because he won't have to go on an apology tour. >> oh, yeah? i got three words for you. stop and frisk. >> he's certainly going to have to answer for that. he also -- and then the -- him being mayor is, you know, mayors get things done. people want people who get things done. he's nice contrast with trump in terms of that. the democratic primary, though, you know the things you could see him leaning on are all his climate change work, his gun control work. i mean, he has in his philanthropy. but i just -- it's not clear that he's the answer that democrats -- i talk to a number of democrats as soon as this announcement came out last night who really are hand wringing about -- you know, just going through -- even asking us, why wouldn't elizabeth warren be able to win pennsylvania? and these areas. and it's not clear that he's really the answer, though.

michael bloomberg is filing paperwork today. >> right. >> dana: at some point do they have to make a decision to consolidate and get behind one person? >> at some point we are going to have to do it. i don't think that point is today. i think we are still having a significant debate about and it's an important litigation of ideas on the democratic side. so the american people can see what we stand for. i think it's very important for the party to stand for opportunity to make sure that we have got a strong middle class and that we are lifting kids out of poverty again in this country. and we are not doing any of that. >> dana: last question, do you think michael bloomberg should get into the race. >> i think he should do whatever he do. if i had michael bloomberg's money i would throw donald trump's away. >> dana: have fun out there on the campaign trail. >> gai great seeing you, tyra. >> dana: tire was ityrus is her. he is come in. i hope is he come in. get up, tyrus. billions of mouths. billions of problems. sore gums? bleeding gums? painful flossing? there's a therabreath for you.

so why will you tell michael bloomberg he should get a thousand dollars a month? >> well, it's opt in so he doesn't need to take it. knowing mike, he probably wouldn't take it because he has bigger fish to fry, though you don't get to be a billionaire by turning down a thousand dollars a month, so you never know. but the fact is that when the dividend is distributed in alaska every year, it goes to the richest alaskan and the poorest. and that makes it universal. it removes any stigma. it's not like you're getting it, i'm not getting it. you don't have to keep track of how much people are making. that's part of what's made the petroleum dividend universally popular for decades. >> so you, talking about money, have your first big money campaign ad up and running in iowa. let's take a look here. >> president obama named andrew a champion of change and his ideas are a blueprint for a new way forward. an economy where big tech and wall street are held accountable. a health care system with medicare for all that takes on drug companies to lower prices. a fight against

but be that as it may michael bloomberg has every right to run. he would take up a fairly significant space in the lanes and now he'll have to go perform so we'll see. i don't think we know. it is very hard to predict given howl volatile the political world is and what the heck will happen in the next three months. you've never seen anything like this, right. >> no. for sure. >> and look on the republican or the democratic side. >> that is true. let's talk more about joe biden. he spent much of the week sparring with elizabeth warren about medicare for all and what he called an elitism. warren returned fire accusing joe biden of sexism for not allowing women to be angry. i'm a woman. i didn't hear his comments that way and that is just me. but here is biden's response yesterday to that. >> it is not anything that i did or was intending to do. it had nothing to do with that. it had to do with the fact that it starts off and she said biden is running on the wrong primary. because i disagreed with her medicare for all proposal that cost trillion doll

>> well, look, i think we don't need michael bloomberg. michael bloomberg thinks we do. i'm sure you have some polling saying he is going to be a candidate who can be formidable in the primary. but the reality is, i mean, is he a billionaire. i am guessing most billionaires around the world do what he want to do because we have a process where we allow folks to run for office who are are, you know, qualified. you know, he has decided to throw his hat in the race. now, i think he brings a lot of problems to his candidacy. the first being the tremendous stop and frisk policy that he had where over 500,000 people were stopped by new york city cops under his watch. most of them being young black and brown folks. so, i don't think he is going to be a moderate alternative to joe biden. >> tucker: i think what you are saying is that gun control efforts disproportionately punish black men? you may be right. i'm not mocking you. i think that's what you are arguing, right? >> no. but, look, michael bloomberg has done a great work on the environment. >> tucker: is he good now. >> n

. >> michael bloomberg prepared to enter the race. i'll talk to a man many democrats wanted to run instead, senator sherrod brown of ohio. >> joining me is hallie jackson. hugh hewitt, host on the salem radio network, yamiche alcindor, and "washington post" columnist david ignatius. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in telephone history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >> good sunday morning. president trump finds himself facing pressure on two fronts. on impeachment, a growing number on witnesses testifying before congress have now confirmed military aid was being withhold until ukraine agreed to publicly announce investigations into president trump's rivals. more confirmation that the ukrainians did know that there was a quid pro quo. and three witnesses who testified behind closed doors will do so in public this week. republicans signaled they hope to refocus the public hearings on joe biden's son and perhaps even on the whistleblower. >> then there was tues

what do we believe michael bloomberg sees? >> he sees that biden, sanders and warren are all having trouble in the battle ground states to beat donald trump. these were the six closest states in the 2016 election that donald trump won. michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, florida, north carolina, they're all within the margin of error of trump. and michael bloomberg believes that's what's selling. what is the one thing that will motivate to you vote in 2020? these are the same swing states. michigan, minnesota, pennsylvania, wisconsin. you can name anything. 21% said to beat donald trump. that was number one. medicare for all. we've had so much attention on this primary season. my goodness gracious. just 1%. you and i together could do that 1%. >> our mothers would hope so. >> here's my question. what does bloomberg think that allows him to believe that he can beat the other people in the field? what has he got that they ain't got? >> i think what they have, he's an inn, right? he's a guy who was an i independent mayor of new yo

if michael bloomberg decides to dive into this race, hs that change the primary? >> that is something every campaign has been asor the last 24 hours or so. obviously it is still an if, but the immediate concern is still -- really has to be for joe biden. michael bloomberg is trying to edge in if he does run on the moderate part of the party. the big concern for biden is he needs all the money he can get to run his campaign, and there are a lot of his supporters particularly in financial circles who are big fans of michael bloomberg. they might be steppi back from biden. at the end of the day this is a big name who is a moderate, veri ce and wants the world to know it. he will be running in that part. he is also drawing a lot of fire from some of the candidates on the left. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are already going after him, saying don't need anot race.lionaire in this is one in tom steyer, and ofy course donald trp. nada: how does michael bloomberg f try to sell hims voters? is it too late getting in now? >> it is a very risky propositio vewe have see

let's take a closer look at who michael bloomberg is. he has a net worth of $52 billion — according to forbes — making him nearly 17 times richer than mrtrump. he made his money first as a wall street banker, before going on to establish a financial publishing empire. he was originally a democrat. he became a republican to serve as new york city mayor from 2001. but he rejoined the democratic party last year. he's considered running for president in the past, but ruled himself out because he thought americans wouldn't vote for a billionaire new york businessman. clearly that concern no longer applies. here is a short clip from his campaign video. where the wealthy will play more in taxes, and the struggling middle class will get theirfairshare, and struggling middle class will get theirfair share, and jobs struggling middle class will get their fair share, and jobs thatjust allow you to get buy will become jobs that let you get ahead. michael bloomberg for president. jobs creator, leader, problem solve. it's going to take all three t

big news, michael bloomberg said he was going to run. who is that going to affect among the democratic field? kevin: unclear. a poll said michael bloomberg is pulling in the single digits as allowing tier candidate, progressive candidates as well as elizabeth warren have largely ,riticized this announcement saying he is trying to buy the election. over the weekend, former vice president joe biden picking up the key endorsement of former iowa governor, a prominent democrat in the hawkeye state. the biden campaign saying that could show some support. and biden still ahead nationally with bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg closing out the top candidates. david: a disclaimer. michael bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of bloomberg lp, the parent company of bloomberg news. now we go to london in jess shankleman. we had a tory manifesto over the weekend. what did we learn from it? jess: we learned boris johnson is playing it safe. the polls are showing he is on course to get a majority at the december 12 elections.

bloomberg may do, i remember a couple -- maybe a year ago, michael bloomberg and tom steyer were trying to buy their way into the election, you got slammed, they said you were attack a jewish person, what's your reaction today to michael bloomberg wanting in? >> it's very obvious, 3 things you should take from this, everyone understands the democrats currently running for president cannot beat president trump and secondly it goes to the point why michael bloomberg gave the democrats $110 million to try to win congress majority last time, remember, he reregistered as a democrat right before he gave them money because he was hoping that he could buy their favor to win the nomination, now he's getting into the nomination to run for president understanding that none of the others can beat the president, but i don't believe michael bloomberg can win the democrat nomination, you have to have more an agenda than trying to outlaw, you have to prove that you can actually govern and he's jealous that he watched president trump being a successful businessman going from there directly to president

that's something that michael bloomberg clearly brings to the table. i think that could be viewed by the president and his allies as a real threat. >> the argument to pam's point, the bumper sticker for michael bloomberg is donald trump, but richer, more successful and less offensive. that's the bloomberg argument. i'm richer than this guy. i've been more successful than this guy and i have 12 years as the mayor of new york city to demonstrate from a policy perspective i can get things done. >> bloomberg is a lot richer than president trump. >> and than me. >> than you, of course. >>> andrew yang, also a businessman, thank you very much for joining us. let me start with the breaking news and get your reaction. michael bloomberg, former mayor of new york thinking seriously of jumping into the democratic primary. what do you think? >> well, he is a phenomenal entrepreneur and businessman. i will say i think it would be tough for someone to jump into the race at this point in time. i'm here in new hampshire. i've been here now over 20 times, getting to kn

i would bet on joe biden versus michael bloomberg. joe biden has within a democrat for the last 50 years, michael bloomberg has been a democrat for the last five minutes. at the end of the day he can say, hey, i've been taking the fight to republicans my entire life. >> he thinks he's exposing weaknesses in this field and he may hurt biden but he may show the strength of who's already there as a comparison to him. thank you very, wiz. always a plesh. you know, this could be, maybe, the battle of billionaires. why? you got tom steyer already in the race. is he singing the classic from the prose duesers "what's he got that i ain't got"? what does he make of bloom brg getting in? does he think anybody needs it? he loves that song, steyer. ever since i started renting from national. because national lets me lose the wait at the counter... ...and choose any car in the aisle. and i don't wait when i return, thanks to drop & go. at national, i can lose the wait...and keep it off. looking good, patrick. i know. (vo) go national. go like a pro

michael bloomberg." michael bloomberg. that is a story the american people like him and he's an outsider. i think it would be a very competitive race." and you say what? >> i don't often agree with corey lewandowski but i actually would agree with him. i think is a very interesting candidate. he has run for office before, which is important. he also has the ability to go to democratic activists and say, "we changed the virginia legislator, we've been fighting on guns, i put my money were my mouth is. we've been putting bill initiatives all across america." he has built a national network through his philanthropic analytical activities. he can go to activists in these early states and say, "i've been here before already." >> harris: what i heard jenna coming up to is the nomenclature that was used about him, the nanny state, whether he had overregulated. real quickly, with his comeback for that? >> i don't think he has one. he is going to have that moniker of "the nanny state candidate." if moderate democrats are looking fo

kurt, you can't litigate michael bloomberg, but if you don't litigate michael bloomberg, what is his potential entry into the field say about the field and where they're at today? >> i think more than anything, his entry tells you the campaign of vice president biden has won has not met expectation. bloomberg, in large part, stayed out with the assumption that biden would be running away with it. >> he'd peak, right? >> his debate performances would propel him forward to the nomination. instead, he's gone nowhere but down since his campaign began. that's why bloomberg sees this opening. i personally think will are shortfalls with this. as we saw in 2016 with the republican primary, if you have this endless primary where everybody attacks each other, people like dthd trump will walk into the office at a time where there needs to be unison, cohesion, some kind of unity and uniting the democratic party. putting forward someone whose message is completely the opposite of the base of the party right now and with the warren and sanders waning, demotivating your base is not the way to beat

michael bloomberg knows the nuts and bolts. he has people around him that understand the nuts and bolts involved. >> bill: jimmy carter. for those who participated in iowa and new hampshire. the conclusion, bill clinton is the only democratic nominee in modern political time to not win at least one of the first two contests. michael bloomberg will be 0 for 4 by the time super tuesday hits, donna. >> it is also the 21st century and we don't know what voters will be looking for come february 3 or march 3. he has decided to skip an entire month. i understand the strategy. i don't know if it will work. i come from the old school where you get in early, you fight hard and you go the distance. we'll learn. >> bill: you have to meet with groups of seven or nine in living rooms in iowa. you lay the foundation. >> are you telling me i'm right? oh my god, when i get my thanks i will say thank you, bill. i love sandra, too. happy thanksgiving. go tigers, lsu again, bill. do you know that sandra was on track team? she was on the track team

michael bloomberg can write any size check that he wants. he can use that money to run ads as many times as he wants. in fact, he's doing so already. and the criticism you're hearing now are from folks that feel threatened or they feel like they can get some political currency out of attacking bloomberg. so whether or not he's for real about this, who knows. but he's certainly taking steps towards it and if you are in the current field right now, i would be concerned only because michael bloomberg certainly has a background, he was three terms as a new york mayor, but he also has the money and whether r or not he can win the nomination is irrelevant. really can he cause problems for the other candidates in the field. >> he's known for being a data guy from a fox news poll, 32% of democratic primary voters said they would never vote for him. the same percentage who would consider voting for bloomberg, only 6% said they would vote for him. so bloomberg can't feel good about those numbers, then again though, he was only a hypothetical candidate

this is michael bloomberg flexing his financial muscle. this $37 million price tag, calculated by research form cmag is just the beginning. the spending is already drawing fire from progressive candidates who don't want to see billionaires running and who say they are approximate buying votes. for example, bernie sanders reacting to this particular ad by saying in a statement, i'm disgusted by the idea that michael bloomberg, or any other billionaire, thinks they can circumvent the political process and spend tens of millions of dollars to buy our elections. it's just another example of a rigged political system that we're going to change when we're in the white house. look, michael bloomberg is making the political calculation that this kind of spending will benefit him way more than the attacks will hurt him. there are three main reasons for that. one, he has faced this criticism before when he ran for mayor. he spent hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money and, guess what, he won three times. after he left the mayor's office he

you worked with michael bloomberg. what do you think about his announcement? is there a path for victory for him and do you think the can win the nomination? >> yes. i worked on mike's first campaign as a policy advisor. one, the question i have, is it a viable strategy to skip, iowa, nevada, new hampshire and south carolina, and still win the nomination? the second and most important thing is, will he be able to get black votes? stop-and-frisk, the police policy in new york, during his 12 years as mayor, that stop-and-frisk millions of african and latino men lived through that and it was trauma and it will make his getting the black vote very very difficult. >> if by some happenstance, michael bloomberg got the nomination, hugh, do you think he would be a real threat to donald trump in the general election if donald trump is in fact the nominee of the republican party? >> di, al. i think michael bloomberg is in that sweet spot of the center left that the years. the only one that ever went to a democrat went to deval patrick. i think the governor is a formidab

and in so many ways john you line up michael bloomberg and donald trump it's like for like so where and why does deserve bloomberg believe that he can beat trump. this is so much unlike any other entrant in the race stan this is like one of those avengers movies where some giant super villain is terrorizing people on the ground and then a superhero shows up and suddenly it's a fair fight michael bloomberg is a billionaire he always has big joke about trump is he wants to run the country like it runs his business god help us and he can say that with authority because in forbes last list bloomberg was the 11th richest man in the world $50000000000.00 trump by contrast was 259th with about $3000000000.00 and the more we learn about him the more we learn with the bankruptcies that he's handsome trouble with his business so bloomberg can credibly make the case that he'll be a better executive when it comes to the economy he's also one moderate and he can talk about things like gun control. climate immigration all of which he has opposing views to tromp on but all of which are fairly in the c
