here's michael bloomberg's message. at key points in u.s. one of the two parties have served as a bull work as those that threaten our constitution. today i reregistered as a democrat because we need democrats to provide checks and balances of our nation, our nation so badly needs. give us the sub text here, david gregory? >> he took a hard look at running for president as an independent and he and his team concluded he could not win going that direction. being a democrat would be his best opportunity. he has plenty of money, we know that. he is a billionaire, so money is not an issue. he is certainly right with the democratic base on certain key issues. think about gun restrictions and climate change, but he is more conservative on other issues, physical issues. that could be an impediment. the question is whether he will be trusted by the grassroots of the democratic party that is getting more progressive and, again, you would have to win in the early progressive states, namely iowa and the iowa caucuses. could he do that? one thing we cou

they would feel comfortable with a michael bloomberg.ala harris or cory booker, but michael bloomberg, they could feel safe going. >> he's a centrist. that's his push. this is coming out of the "washington post," just for you, my friend, just within the last hour or so. you can put your hands together. the headline reads elizabeth warren builds democratic campaign effort ahead of likely 2020 bid. quietly what this report is saying is she is now, and her team, reaching out to those who are winning and then continuing to call after they win, trying to develop the relationship with the base across the country and those who are running. >> i like elizabeth warren. i think that she's fantastic. she's a fantastic advocate. she is -- goes to the wall for social justice. she just does not to me have a national presence. i think to his point, all of these people that we're being shown, they're great at the jobs they are doing, but i am a democrat. i don't see them as president of the united states. i do not. >> it's too early to know, isn't it? >

he was at michael bloomberg's last night. that is the focus of gun control. tennesseans want to make certain we do this the right way. >> under any conditions would you consider banning military assault weapons or devices that could turn them into that. gov. bredesen: first of all, the bump stocks turn weapons into something that is more effective and more dangerous than a straight military style weapon. it involves a much more rapid kind of fire then you can get with the one of these assault rifles. i absolutely believe the bump stocks are to be banned. it is a good example of reasonable restrictions that can protect our second amendment rights. i think the cat is out of the bag, as it were with the assault weapons. there are between 10 and 20 million of them in the country today. i just cannot see where it would be practical. i also know a lot of people who enjoy owning them and using them for hunting. i think they do not represent danger to anyone. i want to reaffirm that i strongly support the right of any citizen to own weapons subject to reasonable rest

michael bloomberg wrote a $100 million check himself to defeat republicans in congress, another guy in california wrote in $100 million check to defeat republicans in congress so you see the monies being opened by. to try and drown us out. montclair mikey is getting all of this money not from this district but from all over the country to try and put herself and nancy pelosi back in charge of congress, you're not going to let that happen, are you? as one in 20 days you got to make sure, this election is so important you need to talk to your neighbors and your relatives in this election. this election is so important , you need to make sure people understand the states and the consequences. you have a very good man and jay weber, was important to him is he's proven, he's tested, he's known, he's from here. you know him, he knows you, he knows north jersey and he's the kind of talented person will hit the ground running when he gets to congress so thank you for being here, thank you for helping a weber . make sure you get across the finish line. help out jay weber and defeat the nancy pe

blackburn: yes, phil was in new york last night with michael bloomberg. michael bloomberg is one of the leading advocates for gun control in this country. i fully believe we can protect the second amendment and we can protect guns. you're right to own a gun. you know, the democrats bring you judges and justices like justice sonja sotomayor who says she does not think you have a fundamental right to own a gun. [bell] >> thank you. >> let's have one more question related to the second amendment. just last week, president trump announced a ban on bump stocks. during a news conference at the white house, he says, we are knocking out bump stocks. i told the national rifle association that bump stocks are gone. they allow semi automatic weapons to operate like a fully automatic gun. some gun advocates oppose the president on this issue. under any conditions, would you consider restricting or banning military assault style weapons or any device that can modify firearms in this way? rep. blackburn: thank you for that. i will tell you, this is something the house

thank you, michael bloomberg. we have some incredible volunteers in the room today. we havebritt over here, justine and kathleen and julie, i could name them all but they are quite a few in here. our chapter has pushed back on nra priorities this year. has shown up by the dozens to hearing after hearing at the statehouse, along with coalition partners. we have wonderful coalition partners in new hampshire. we also grew our chapter this year by the hundreds. on the ballot in november we have more than 70 gun sent candidates, which is incredible for new hampshire. we have educated people about what it means to be a gun sense candidate and we have been canvassing for them. we have amazing democrats up and down the ticket and there are some right here. senatorepresentatives, betty lasky, and there are many more in the room. sixuld like you to meet the senseown-endorsed gun candidates.

of course, the crucial part of the project was having a billionaire willing to experiment — michael bloomberg to ask the question. how much? i think it was over 1.5, maybe $1.75 billion by the time we got done. keep in mind we restored a temple, we helped build a subway stop. oh, i didn't mention the temple, did i? this is the temple of mithras. this is around 2,000 years old, and is now finally open to the public for free. the cult of mithras itself, we know, was male. 0nly men would have been allowed in and the people who would have been worshippers were generally high—ranking merchants, or high—ranking members of the army. the bigwigs, the wealthy guys. exactly that, yes. newsreel: the remains of a roman temple have been uncovered near the mansion house in the city of london. it is the only one ever found within the city. it was discovered 64 years ago and then moved to give space for a new office block, and the redevelopment has enabled it to be returned back to its original site. but all this money and innovation does have a purpose — profit. i think companies always look at space backwa

he was at michael bloomberg's last night. controlthe focus of gun , tennesseans want to make certain that we do this the right way. governor, your turn. would you consider banning military assault style weapons or devices that can turn them into that? bump stocks turned them into weapons of our more dangerous than a straight military-style weapon. i believe that they should be banned. this is a good example of reasonable restrictions. i think the cat is out of the bag with the assault weapons between 10 and 20 million of them in the country today, absent -- with that is a fact, i just can't see where that could also be practical. i know people who enjoy owning and using them for hunting and i don't think represent any danger to anyone. just reaffirming one more time that i strongly support the rights of any citizen to own weapons subject to reasonable restrictions like this. >> one of the things you want to do is make certain that we protect the second amendment. this is what tennesseans continue to say. let's protect people

he talks be it the possibility of running against michael bloomberg. >> michael bloomberg might be running >> i think it would be easy. i think it would be so easy. >> in other words he wouldn't be able to do anything in the primaries because of where the party's going? >> i think that democrats will eat him up. you know, you have a lot of people running. i don't think he'll do well. he may do it or he may not, but i don't think he'll do well. >> if you go to a trump rally. any of these rallies before the midterms, he devotes a big chunk of time each night, the election of 2016, the way the results came out, the surprise element. this remains the highlight of his life as far as we can tell in politics and vanquishing all of these republican foes. he's just salivating to do the nicknames, to do the combat, to go after all of them. he cannot wait. >> i think there is some truth to what trump is saying that democrats will eat him up because i think money can only get you so far is what we learned in 2016 and what we're seeing so far in 2018, democrats raising huge amounts of money, not throug

does michael bloomberg fill a void in the democratic party? >> it's hard to say. i mean, one of the things about michael bloomberg is that he has chosen to be what he wants to be when it's been particularly politically useful to him. i think he's taking a page from donald trump's book, which is that it's very difficult to run and win the presidency as an independent, which we know he's thought about doing. he has the resources to be able to do that, but it's not nigh on impossible to win the presidency as an independent. he is deciding that his best bet would be to run as a democrat. i think the question ask everybody's clear on this, is does he fit the democratic party of 2019 and 2020. is he too moderate? is he too much of a new york business person? too closely aligned to big money and interests at a time when the party is clearly, at least the base of the party, is clearly rejecting that? i think that he has attributes. i mean, he has a record in new york that he'll be able to draw on, but whether he's a good fit for the democratic party is going to be left to

michael bloomberg will give $20 million to the main democratic senate super pac this week. on top of the $80 million he had already pledged to democratic candidates overall this cycle. something he's surely hoping democrats remember ahead of a potential 2020 presidential bid. michael bloomberg trying to increase his democratic party. $100 million makes him one of the biggest campaign donors in either party right now. campaign records as of the latest filing deadline show that casino mag gnat sheldon adelson has donated nearly $56 million to republican and republican committees, while another democrat who is angling for a presidential run, tom steyer, has donated $42 million. but he's pledged $120 million for turning out voters who support impeaching president trump. it is possible another billionaire could get even more money in these final weeks leading up to election day and we won't even find that out, probably for seven months after the election. but right now, it's bloomberg that has pulled into the billionaire donor lead. we'll be right back. elen cleare. in fact, mos

trish: michael bloomberg might be running. president trump: that's good. i think it would be easy. trish: he wouldn't be able to do anything the frye pry -- anything in the primaries? president trump: i think the democrats will eat him up. they are nasty. trish: avenatti? president trump: i don't think he's a serious person. i just beat him in a big case. he has to pay my legal fees. he and she have to pay me a lot of legal fees. i love texas. based on texas laws where the legal fees are plentiful. trish: you will hold him to that. president trump: are you serious? of course. he's not a serious person. bloomberg may do it or he may not. but i don't think he'll do well. i have a pretty good idea who i think will emerge as a candidate. we'll have other conversations.

. >>> michael bloomberg says the recent spike in anti-semitism is a new form of words. he says the president has a responsibility to unify. >> the president's words matter more than anybody else. his job is unifier. not be leader of the party, but leader of the country. there are consequences to words. >> bloomberg adding republicans have not fulfilled their obligation to provide checks and balances on the president. >>> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell on monday was asked about the political rhetoric. he took a page from president trump's playbook. >> it is terrible. i think that there had been a lot of contribution to it on both sides. i think the whole country has been on edge. i hope it settles down after the election. >> don't we all. mcconnell expects the country to heal from the division. he says america has seen worse in its history. >>> the fatal shooting of two black people at the kroger grocery store in kentucky is investigated as a hate crime. gregory bush, accused of killing the two last week. before the shooting, bush tried to enter a mostly black ch

over a week to go into midterms democrats are still spending big, 2020 presidential candidates michael bloombergn democratic house races this week along and congressman ben is convinced that kind of cash will help his party pick up seats. >> i'm confident the democrats will win back the house this year, we built strategy around our candidate, incredible men and women with records of service, many served the country in the u.s. military, they are connecting with the american people talking about their personal stories. heather: democrats need to flip 24 seats on election day to retake the majority in the house. and hillary clinton now fueling even more speculation that she could be on the ballot in 2020. >> we will talk about 2020 in a bit. do you want to run again? >> no. >> a pause. >> well, i would like to be president.

the party's biggest names will be today and this weekend, including former new york city mayor michael bloomberg trump lately. what's he saying today? >> reporter: he was here to talk about leadership and entrepreneurship from the students, but he also talked about trade and bloomberg slammed the administration's trade policies, calling them nonsensical and disastrous for america. he took a very sharp swiwipe at naand a half -- nafta. bloomberg is going on this cross-country tour, state to state. i was with him last weekend in new hampshire ostensibly to show support for issues he passionate about like gun safety, education, climate change. all of this activity and the fact that he's put $80 million of his own money toward flipping the house during the midterms is stoking speculation that he will make a run in 2020. as far as i know in my reporting, i've been told that decision has not been made yet but certainly these kind of stops and this kind of activity will not stop the questions from coming to his camp. >> he's staying busy and making headlines. thank you, christina alesci, we appreciate
