BLOOMBERG FIRED BACK, GLAD TO SEE OUR WATCHING OUR ADS.
>> SO BETO O’ROURKE IN THE RACE
TOUTED MANDATORY GUN BUYBACKS.
>> EVERYBODY GIVES THE SAME
ADVICE, YOU WOULD NEVER GET THEM
BACK.
BACK. IT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE.
I THINK WHAT WE SETTLE FOR, NOT
THAT I’M HAPPY WITH IT, BUT
SETTLE FOR DON’T SELL ANY MORE
AUTOMATIC WEAPONS TO ANYBODY
OTHER THAN THE MILITARY AND THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HOPEFULLY
SLOWLY BE ABLE TO -- IF PEOPLE
DECIDED THEY DIDN’T WANT THEM,
THEY WOULD SEND THEM BACK.
I THINK GOING INTO PEOPLE’S
HOUSES TO GET GUNS IS NOT GOING
TO WORK.
TO WORK. >> I KNOW YOU’RE NOT KEEPING
DONATIONS.
DONATIONS. BUT ONE BENEFIT OF DOING SO IS
THAT PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE
A STAKE IN YOUR CAMPAIGN.
DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE
MAYBING THAT --
>> THAT’S ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT.
ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK THE AT IT,
THEY HAVE A STAKE IN THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE COUNTRY AND
THEY CAN SAY THAT IT ISN’T
BEHOLDEN TO ANYONE AND CARES
ENOUGH TO SEND HIS MONEY TO GET
RID OF DONALD TRUMP AND PEOPLE
SAY TO ME, WAIT A SECOND, I’M
TRYING TO MOVE DONALD TRUMP OUT
OF 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, YOU
WANT ME TO SPEND OREGON LESSMORE
>> FOR THOSE THAT ARE TAKING
MONEY, SOMETIMES BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS, ARE THEY BEHOLDEN TO
THOSE PEOPLE?
THOSE PEOPLE? >> YOU GOT TO ASK THEM.
>> ON THE TAX CUTS.
A LOT SAY THEY WANT TO GET RID
OF THEM.
OF THEM. WOULD YOU DO THAT?
>> I WAS VERY MUCH AGAINST THE
TAX CUTS FOR WEALTHY PEOPLE.
I SUPPORTED THE TAX CUT FOR
CORPORATIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE
TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE, OTHERWISE
WE WOULDN’T HAVE JOBS.
>> YOU SAID IT WAS MORE
GENEROUS --
GENEROUS -- >> IT WAS, MY RECOLLECTION IS
THAT THE CORPORATE RATE WAS CUT
TO 21.
TO 21. 25 IS WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
SO YOU GO BACK TO 25, WE NEED
MONEY, COULD DO THAT WITHOUT
HURTING THE COUNTRY.
WHEN I WAS MAYOR, I RAISED TAXES
SIGNIFICANTLY ON INDIVIDUALS
BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO PAY OUR
COPS AND FIREFIGHTERS AND
TEACHERS AND SANITATION WORKERS.
PUBLIC DIDN’T LIKE THE FACT.
BUT I WON GOING AWAY.
WHY?
WHY? BECAUSE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES KEPT DOING
MORE, MAKING IT BETTER, WE
STOPPED LOSING THEM TO OTHER
CITIES AND
CITIES AND OCCUPATIONS.
OCCUPATIONS. >> YOU WOULDN’T PUSH TO GET RID
OF IT OR YOU WOULD?
>> I WOULD CERTAINLY GET RID OF
THAT.
THAT. I DID NOT NEED A TAX CUT.
WE NEED THAT MONEY.
IF FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE IF
NOTHING ELSE.
NOTHING ELSE. >> WOULD YOU GET RID OF THAT?
>> I THINK THE FILIBUSTER HAS
BEEN OVERUSED.
BEEN OVERUSED. PROTECT AGAINST SOMETHING, BUT
WHEN IT IS OVERUSED AND USED
INCORRECTLY, IT IS TOO MUCH AND
YES, I WOULD.
>> I WOULDN’TANT TO TALK ABOUT T
ISSUES, WOULD YOU SUPPORT --
>> I AGREED TO SUPPORT A STUDY
OF IT.
OF IT. BUT I THINK WHAT I WOULD DO IS
FOCUS ANY MONIES ON IMPROVING
EDUCATION BECAUSE I THINK THE
ONLY WAY TO WORK OURSELFVES OUT
OF POVERTY AND PLACES WHERE
PEOPLE AREN’T GETTING A GOOD
EDUCATION IS TO IMPROVE THE
EDUCATION SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY AND SPEND MY MONEY
THERE.
THERE. >> MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE
SATLESAT
SATLESAT L
L SATLE SADDLED WITH STUDENT LOAN
DEBT.
DEBT. >> THE PEOPLE WHO OWE THE MONEY,
THEY WANT TO GET THEIR MONEY
BACK, WHERE DOES ALL THIS DEBT
COMES FROM.
COMES FROM. A LOT OF SCHOOLS DON’T PROVIDE
GOOD EDUCATION AND SOME OF THE
FOR PROFIT SCHOOLS, NOT ALL, NOT
ALL -- WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY
WHERE YOU DON’T GRADUATE WITH SO
