You listening to Carmody Central. November eighty two thousand ninety from probably Federals world news headquarters in New York. This is the daily with revenue years. Our guests tonight is a billion, and an activist who is now running for president of the United States terms. Tyres gonna be joining us everybody so until night show, the royal family has a new scandal to deal with MIKE Bloomberg, apologizing to black people and the real reason president Tromp was in the hospital. So let's catch

on today's headlines? Let's talk with the International news. That's blowing up all over the world ever since Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and killed himself in prison. All the men who have associated with him have come under fire, no one more so than Prince Andrew, but one member of the royal family, who everybody always forgets, and this weekend Prince Andrew try to defend his friendship with the convicted sex offender, and he gave the most royally out of touch defense. We have ever heard Prince Andrew speaking publicly for the first time about his relationship with now to see more a millionaire and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, to our regret, for he has called obviously conducted himself in a manner unbecoming yes and the coming, he was a sex and the light in the sense that it was a sex offender

first of all, I love british interviewer issues. Like I'm sorry, I'm our main. Secondly, that is the most generous description of sex offender. I've ever heard conducted himself in a manner that is unbecoming, is due probably call slave a cruise with a big misunderstanding here. What's funny about this whole story right this whole stories I, like all the people around the royal family, was so pissed when Megan Markel Joint I'm. If your member, like, though, like she's, undignified, she likes media attention too much at all. We can't have mega Michael during the family another like mega. Do you think you could get some media attention to this fact from this praise, and this interview only got worse because none of Prince Andrew explanations made any sense in two thousand, eight Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in two thousand ten just months after Epstein sentence ended. The prince was seen in this video obtained by the mail on Sunday.

Appearing in the doorway of Epstein to New York Home? While he admit he stayed there for four days? He now says he came to end their friendship, but you were staying at the house, convicted sex offender, it was a convenient place to stay it was a convenient place to stay. I think there are more convenient places: Kevin Sex offenders, I know so rarely. This dude is gonna, say that The reason he stated, everything's houseful four days is so that he could and their friendship. For starters, you don't go to someone's house to end of friendship. You just called it and ask them to pick you up from the airport and then you never hear from them again right. That's it also. Even if you are breaking up with your friend, it doesn't take. Four days was a schedule for that. Like Monday, tell Jeffrey True, never speak to me again, Tuesday. Don't make yesterday's mistake of playing Ps Forward Jeffrey on these big screen tv Wednesday

Make sure you talk to Jeffrey before he lets you right he's motorcycle through the house, Thursday Jeffreys are called dude, I'm staying. So thanks to the president's view, what was meant to be damage control has now turned into complete chaos for the royal family. Yeah- and I bet wherever the queen is right now she's like I knew I should have killed him instead of Diana alright, let's move on to another international story: every around Halloween Americans, braced themselves or stories about white people who want to be way more ten. Then they should be but ass. We ve learned recently. Other countries in the world also deal with black face and brown face scandals I mean just right, We cannot learn that they ve already elected their first permanent starve color, they just didn't know and now, as we approach the Christmas season, the Netherlands is once again embroiled in their own black face debate around centres. Dutch magical helper

black pits anti racism campaigners held protests throughout HOLLAND on Saturday, as the Dutch celebrated the arrival of Saint Nicholas and its traditional, yet controversial, companion, black PETE Black, peat is usually portrayed by white people in black face paint wearing frizzy, wigs and red lipstick. It is criticised for being racist, although we think that, since class is a party for the people and that it should stay the way it is. That is why we are here. We want shroud needs to stay black like this should not be a political fact, but just a nice parting for the people and over in case you are confused it what's going on in the Netherlands, they have Santa right just like everyone else, but they also have a character named black PETE, a magic and measurable helper who rules with Santa Claus and how it works. As if kids on nice sands, than presence, but if kids a naughty black PETE whips there s would, you have to admit ready, raises the stakes for dutch kids.

Imagine bigger kid waiting up to here: Santa have reindeer land on the roof, and then you look out your window and that this is a black due to the baseball bat out there. Just like a man, you should include your room coded should treat your room now. Here's what I think is with about black peat in this debate. Some people in the Netherlands say that black peep isn't black face he just black because he slides down the chimney and it s the ship all over him. I am like ok, I'm willing to accept that. Mission, but then asked me this: why does he come down with an african red lips? What's happening in that chimney and also how come Santa does also come down. Coveted should clearly what's happening. Is that peat goes down? The chimney opens the front over Santa and Centre I hear you got a broken other priors man. I want to go back to jail, or I will, as that, so for the nearest. Let's move on to another else, like creature, with a bad reputation among black,

form in New York City may Michael Bloomberg, room August thinking very seriously about getting into the democratic primary, and you know he serious because he starting to do things he swore he never what form or New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg, he's criticizes potential rivals for apologizing too much for their past. Joe Biden went out guys for being male over fifty. Why that, whatever his name is he's apologise for being born today in a speech at a predominantly black church in Brooklyn Bloomberg, with his own apology, saying he regrets his car, virtual, stop and risk policy, a policy be defended for years I now see that we could and should have acted sooner and act. Faster, took up the stops. I wish we had I am sorry that we didn't you up over the way.

Can Michael Bloomberg apologized for stop and frisk at a black church in Brooklyn, and there were two things he did not pull off the apology and that church hats, and rumor is lucky that he didn't have to stay for the full service, because black charge goes on forever? warning and twenty twenty that service doesnt end until twenty twenty want it. What it is tat you know, there's a fascinating to me is Bloomberg has repeatedly been asked about stopping first for ten years and every year embryo he stood by it, but now, but he's about to run for present all of a sudden. He sees the era of his ways. I'm either Bloomberg is pandering or maybe there's something magical that happens to you. When you want president, it just makes you re examined your life. Maybe we should all run for president just to become Human beings just come on like hey baby. Now, then

money for president. I realized that having a secret families, not the right thing to do, and so there are gonna be moving and without small. For me, twenty twenty! That's for the headlines. Let's move on top story. We have three hundred and fifty days away from the twenty twenty presidential election and as the big day approaches, people are scrutinising the front runners more than ever. The policies how they eat fright food and, of course, their age. You realize right now before biggest contenders have a combined age of two hundred and ninety seven years, all children Ninety nine, if you include Buddha, judge now, while Bernie was recovering from a heart. Attack and Biden was fighting the narrative of memory memory. Loss trump has been impervious to the age discussion because, despite his lifestyle, Trump has been frequently healthy, never needing to even see a doctor

Until now. Questions are being raised after an unconventional visit by president trumped Walter Reed Medical Center White House, insist it was for an annual physical, but it came less than a year after the last one and did not follow protocol. The way in which this visit took place was unusual. The White House did not announce the presidency plans to go to Walter Reed ahead of time. The wider says the president is taking advantage of a free weakened in Washington overnight, prisoner Trump, also tweeting, that this is just phase one of his the goal he will continue at next year. Yes, this weekend present from made a surprise visits of a hospital, and nobody knows why wasn't a healthy you'll see or did you need to get a marble removed from his nose? Again? We don't know, and the story became super suspicious when Trump tweeted he just popped into the hospital to do phase one of his annual physical. That's that's! Not a thing like that's gonna think nobody, their annual physical interfaces. That's one thing not like you.

Today. We can just cut the balls and then in March will come back and coughed now, because no entrust this White House, everyone is wildly speculating about what actually happened. It trump have hot problem or stroke, and if he did have a stroke, how would you be able to tell what, because the symptoms of a stroke of luck, speech, confusion and erratic behaviour for Trump, that's a Tuesday infective Trump ever start speaking. Normally, that's when Maloney. I should call my one one like Hallo ambulance. Something is wrong with my husband. He just finish the crossword puzzle. Please, and even if Trump is lying about the physical mean something major is going on, but we also know that if something was horribly wrong with trumped, the White House would just pretend, like everything was normal, like Trump could come back with both homes amputated and his purse secretary, what

not like this is just a standard check up. The president's arms have always been brooms. He uses them to clean up Washington DC. So, look, I don't know what happened neutral, but judging by this weakens news, it wouldn't be surprising if he had a panic attack, because during the impeachment hearings. Last week, you may remember: we learned about a call at a restaurant between Trump and an Eu Ambassador, Gordon Sound. Well now a diplomat who overheard that coal is spinning the beans to Congress. Ambition is obtained a copy of David homes. Opening statement here is part of what he said worth while ambassador, someone's phone was not on speaker phone. I could hear the president's voice through the ear piece of the phone. I then heard president tromp ask Shelley's Do the investigation ambassador, someone replied that he's going,

Do it adding the president's a landscape will do anything you ask him to present its voice was very loud and recognisable and ambassador someone held the phone away from his ear for a period of time. Yeah, that's right. David homes testified to Congress that he overheard a call. We're Trump explicitly asked when Ukraine to dig up to on Joe Biden and the diplomat overheard this conversation not because tromp was honest, speak a phone but because Trump is a human speaker phone, it's like I'm calling about the criminal conspiracy. You know what I can hear you left wrist speaker. I've got leg about back, rather got vera sort from talking. Investigations on the coal with Sunland looks pretty bad. What's even worse is that after the call in this is crazy after the call Sunland we kept what just happened for everyone.

At the table, like an episode of White House talking dead ambassadors online, agreed that the president did not give a damn about Ukraine? I asked why not and ambassadors online stated that the president only pairs about big stuff. I noted there was big stuff going on in Ukraine like a war with Russia, and a Simon replied that he meant big stuff that benefits the president. Unlike the binding investigation that Mr Giuliani was pushing seriously, he off the call and then lays out the plan forever at the table? Was he trying to get busted like what did he do next Pedro, plain and right from the start and Joe Biden in the sky. So their lot of damning details in this testimony, but my favorite, but I favour, but was when Sunland talked about just how much the president of Ukraine

was willing to help from. I heard president Trump then clarify ambassador. Someone was in Ukraine Bass and our Sun Loan replied. Yes, he was in Ukraine, went on to state president's a landscape loves year asked: oh ok, so Linsky law- these terms ass a few days ago foxes. Say: impeachment wasn't sexy enough. Now we got asked played so with this new information, Wednesdays public hearing with Gordon someone is bound to be amazing. You know, they're gonna have to ask him about this in the hearings and we like where's the sullen. Does a linsky really love trumps ass we, like all that's correct? She likes big box and I cannot lie to Congress, but you know what this will make sense now we'll thought trumps. Leverage over Ukraine was military. Aid turns out it's dead ass. So maybe trunk didn't go to hospital because you are sick. Maybe he was just getting some cosmetic surgery that would convince Lansky too, given that dirt on jobs,

bite? It we'll be right back. My life is a brilliant investor, a philanthropist and liberal activist who is running for president of the United States. Please welcome Thomson, welcome to the show, thank you very welcome to the democratic primaries as a billionaire. Your net worth is public, so you're worth one point: six billion dollars. Reportedly Bloomberg is considering entering the and I see here he is worth an estimated fifty two billion. Does that make you feel

broke what I've said? Is it Mr Bloomberg wants to be the democratic representative in the presidential election? Then he should do it. I did a year ago, which is to say we need a wealth tax to overcome some of the inequity that's grown in this country over the last four, kids, if he wants to represent the Democrats in this country, he's gotta he's gotta stepped up to the reality of what is happening in this country and beyond the rights. So are you saying that you would be for an idea that, like Elizabeth Warren has been proposing? In fact you proposed earlier than everyone? If I remember correctly, you spoke about a wealth checks, so you really are a right over here Go you said that the wealthiest Americans should get text on their wealth. Yes right, but not with the many people who might say Tom, that's unfair. If I've paid taxes on something I pay taxes. How can you tell me now on my wealth? How is that fair to Americans

believing saving money. Look. We ve seen over the last forty years that the income has gone disproportionately overwhelmingly to the richest Americans in the biggest corporations and its even worse when it comes to. That's so there's been a reallocation of wealth in this society. That's been dramatic and unnoticed for forty years. A wealth tax is some way of trying to redress part of that right to say this inequity is completely unfair, unacceptable, unjust, undemocratic and we need to address it and get back to the idea that if one country when everybody goes up, everybody goes up, not just the people at the top up some interesting. It's it's an interesting policy. You no proposal to have, especially as a billion like I'm fascinated to how you came to the conclusion. I mean everyone says the wealthy just get wealthy like. How did you

did you just look at your bank balance when they got all of it like it is innocent journey that you ve been on living coming very rich. I really knows, but I took a pledge over ten years ago. Yes, I'll, give more than half my money to good causes, while I'm alive allow. Ok, it's it's the giving pledge, but I did it to say. Look I'm an American! I want

America to do really well, and I want to be part of that that group, but I don't want to do. I don't considered success if I do really well and no one else in America does well that's a failure as far as I'm concerned. As far as I'm concerned, when we go up, we all go up right and if we're not all going up than actually that's, not a success and that's the story of America for the last forty years, it looks as if the economy's grown, but it's been all gone to the richest people in the big corporations. That's not a success. That is not fair, and if you go around the United States, which I've done full time for seven years and to people you can see, there had been cruel policies. I mean people talk about it in these academic

It's not academic. When you say I'm gonna cut my taxes and you're not going to get the message you need to live, that's it they try and make it more complicated. I mean it's not complicated. When someone says I'm gonna cut my taxes and now you can't go to school it's in a week. They use academic terms. We all use for syllable words, but it's actually cruelty for money. That's what we ve been seeing in the United States of America. Let me ask you this than as a billionaire who has, I think you know been referred to as the single highest Dona when it comes to democratic and liberal causes. Why do you think it's best for you to run for president than some some have said Tom. One unusual money to get progressive candidate

and why don't you back the people? Because you have so much money? You can actually help get big money out of politics. Why not just do that? Why run yourself? Well, it's not a neither or Trevor. I started one of the largest grassroots organisations in the United States next June America. In twenty eighteen we did the largest youth voter mobilization. That's a mouthful. I grew in history. We went into thirty eight congressional districts. We specifically tried to engage and turn out people under thirty five, we more than doubled the turn In those districts from four years before and thirty three of inflicted democratic still doing right am, I point: is it's not an either or next June America? I'm not running it, but it keeps going. You know, I have a partnership with seven national labour unions to go door to door. We get fifteen million doors together in twenty. Sixteen, we hit ten million doors together last year. That goes on

I'm not running it, but you know people who say why don't you keep doing that the answers I am so. Let me ask you this than are you ever worried that you running this race and you even doing well could perpetuate the notion that, like only billionaires conflicts, America only billionaires should run America because for a long time America's elections and Americans idea has been everyone can do this job? Everyone can be a civil servant, but if you did well, it would seem like ok, this is the realm of billion has not, in fact, some would argue by getting money out of politics without addressing how much money people can spend in politics that favours people like yourself, Donald Trump, Michael Bloomberg, etc. Look as far as I'm concerned, the key in this race is who can tell the truth about America, who can tell the important

differential truth and be trusted to make it happen? That is honestly wine running. That's why I got into the race in the first place, because I felt like nobody's levelling with the american people about where we really are. So, where do you think America really is? I think two things one. I think this governments broken in what it waiting purchased by corporations. It isn't succeeding at all. It isn't even trying to serve the american people if we want to get back to government of by and for the people. We're gonna have to take it back from the corporations. We're gonna have to break their stranglehold on what I believe you are you talking about lobbying, specifically here, money, lobbying and I'll. Give you an example of something where look people don't think about this in terms of corporations, but we ve had decades of gun violence in this country. That's off the charts. Almost every day we see a mass shooting, but we also see domestic violence with guns. We see. Neighborhoods people are scared to.

In the streets and sixty percent of gun, related deaths are suicides over. Ninety percent of Americans have wanted mandatory background checks on every gun, purchase for a long time, Democrats Republicans and independent over ninety percent, and we ve never gotten it, and the reason is the energy is controlled by the gun menu

troops and they won't let it happen when ninety percent of Americans want it. You know we can talk about drug pricing. We can talk about the green new deal we can go. We can talk about education, we can go on and on and on the american people are not being served. The corporations in every one of these cases, it's perfect for the corporations and the question is: how are we going to get back that government rights? Who can you trust to really take money? Look I've been taking them on and beating them in coalition with ordinary american citizens for a decade there, not that smart, I mean that we can beat them, but the question is: who is going to do it? Is it going to be an outsider like me, who's been taking them on and feeding them in coalition and building grassroots democracy, or is it going to be someone inside the belet? Look, I'm talking!

out a twelve year term limit for every Congress person and senator there's. No one else running for president who even discuss that, and why do you think that's so important? We need new blood to get new people and we really do if you look at that young people who come in who came in and twenty eighteen rights, many of whom, when we fly. States. We were bringing in a lot of young people a lot more women, a lot more diverse group of people. But in order for that to happen, we have to have terminates. We have broken Congress and it's really be. It's become in a kind of a lifetime appointment rights. We can't have that. Look. I'm also talk about direct democracy in twenty six states. Did you get enough signatures? You can put a law on the ballot and, if enough people vote for it, because

A lot right that takes away the monopoly of Congress of Congress says you know what the energy they won't. Let us pass mandatory background checks on gun purchases. We could put them on the ballot and pass it in a week. There's nothing they could do to stop Americans. You know you have to ask yourself if we have a broken government bright who's. Who do you trust? Do you trust the people or you trust the people inside the beltway and my whole experience of this country is: if you go around and talk to Americans, they are smart, their compassionate there, rave. There are trustworthy. The people get it right. That's my strong belief and that's what I'm pushing for sound like a man is on a mission, and I make one other boy boy it may make the other point. Let's hear you're not going as this look. For more than a decade, I've been a climate warrior

I know that we have to deal with this on day, one of the next present you mean fighting for the climate or against unjust verify. Do you share my number one heard right I am the only person running who say will say that number one priority state of emergency on day One use the emergency powers, the presidency characterized by environmental justice, that you can't get the policy right unless you lead through the communities where the pollution is concentrated in our country, which is low income, black and brown communities that have we call it a Justice centre climate plan for over a deck. That's how I've pushed on climate unless it's gotta be the number one thing you do internationally. If you don't do those three things, it isn't can happen if it's not number one, it's not going to get there
