Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles - The Democratic primary campaign. When it started it was all kumbaya, let's beat Trump together. But now it's turned into a season of "Game of Thrones". Everyone backstabbing. The house of Bernie has grown in strength and size. (audience laughs) While facing a challenge from the kingdom of Buttigieg. (audience laughs) Meanwhile, the once powerful Lord Biden is slowly watching his influence slip away. And don't forget, once they're all done fighting each other, they will have to face off against the ultimate enemy, the white king. (audience laughs) But. Just like "Game of Thrones", there's one character who's been off in the wings plotting the whole time. The imp. You see, national polls now have billionaire Mike Bloomberg moving into third place. And President Trump has taken notice of this big little threat. And he's already trying to defeat him in a trial by Twitter. - A Twitter war heating up between President Trump and one of the men who wants to take his job. The president took aim at former Mayor Mike Bloomberg, saying, "Mini Mike is 5'4" mass of dead energy "who does not want to be on the debate stage "with these professional politicians. "No boxes please." Bloomberg responded, writing, "We know many "of the same people in New York. "Behind your back they laugh at you "and call you a carnival barking clown. "They know you inherited a fortune "and squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence. "I have the record and the resources "to defeat you, and I will." - Oh! (audience exclaims) Oh! (audience applauds) Oh! This is crazy. Two mega-rich dudes dissing each other in the most personal way. It would be like if a rap battle was in CNBC. (audience laughs) And the sad part, the sad part for me, is that billionaire feuds used to be so much more dignified. Back in the day, it wasn't on Twitter. They'd be like, Mr. Trump, I have commissioned a devastating opera that disparages both you and your lineage. Be like, well, Master Bloomberg, at this very moment, a team of artists is sculpting a middle finger from the world's finest Italian marble. (audience laughs) In eight to nine months you will be truly owned. (audience laughs) But right now, Donald Trump is the least of Mike Bloomberg's problems. See, the real threat to Bloomberg's campaign is his past. - [Reporter] Mike Bloomberg facing new criticism tonight amid audio that has surfaced on the controversial policy of stop-and-frisk. - [Reporter] Bloomberg is under fire tonight after a 2015 speech surfaced, where he defends his controversial stop-and-frisk policy, and explained why cops are put in minority neighborhoods. - [Mike] 95% of your murders and murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops. They are male, minorities, 15 to 25. We put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods. Yes, that's true. Why do we do it? Because that's where all the crime is. And the way you get the guns out of the kids' hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk 'em. - Wow. That is not a good look. Think about it, while Bloomberg is out there trying to win there black vote in 2020, he's on tape in 2015 talking about black people like they're crime pinatas. Just throw them against the wall, see what comes out. Could be a gun, could be a Tootsie Roll, it's fun. (audience laughs) This is not a good look. Getting caught on tape encouraging police to arrest black people is definitely gonna hurt you with black voters. It's the same way you would lose white voters if a tape came out of you saying that pets aren't the same as babies. (audience laughs) Yeah. All the pumpkin spice in the world can't save you after that. White people would be mad. This is my baby. (audience laughs) Now, if it was just one bad audio clip, maybe, maybe Mike Bloomberg could get past it and move on. The problem is Mayor Mike has a long history of defending stop-and-frisk, and now even video clips are coming out. - And yet another video clip drops tonight, reporting to show Mayor Mike Bloomberg discussing hot topics with racial overtones. - They just keep saying, oh, it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group. I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little. - Yeah. According to Mike Bloomberg, white people were the real victims of stop-and-frisk. Imagine that. Black people and Latinos spent years, years, saying that they were being harassed by the police. And Bloomberg's response was, I hear you, we have been unfair to white people. (audience laughs) It almost feels like if Bloomberg was Abraham Lincoln, he would've ended slavery, but for the totally wrong reason. Be like, we need to end this cruel abomination. Too many white people are getting carpal tunnel in their whipping hands. (audience laughs) We've gotta help them. Now since these clips came out, Bloomberg has been facing a lot of pressure to explain himself. And something tells me he's struggling with how to respond. - [Reporter] Campaigning in Tennessee today, Michael Bloomberg expressed regret for comments from 2015 about New York City's controversial stop-and-frisk policy. - [Reporter] Mr. Mayor, why did you say what you said in that 2015 speech? - Um. (audience laughs) - I can safely say I have never seen the three typing dots in real life. (audience laughs) Look at him. (audience applauds) You never see him like this. Mike Bloomberg hasn't been this stressed since he got into that fight in the subway. (audience laughs) But my bad, I shouldn't have interrupted. I'll let him answer. - I don't think those words reflect how I led the most diverse city in the nation. I apologized for the practice and the pain that it caused. - [Reporter] But why did you say it? - It was five years ago. It's just not the way that I think and it doesn't reflect what I do every day. - Yeah, of course it doesn't reflect what you do every day, you're not the mayor anymore. Nobody thinks you're stopping and frisking black people on your personal time. I mean, mostly because you can't reach their pockets. (audience laughs) But also, it's weird that he tries to dismiss those clips by saying it was five years ago. Five years? What difference is that supposed to make for you? Look, five years ago, I was just a 72-year-old man. I didn't know any better. (audience laughs) I'm much older now, which automatically makes you less racist. (audience laughs) But clearly the comments in those clips do reflect what Bloomberg was doing as mayor. For the simple reason that it's what he did as mayor.
