There is a campaign type ad playing before Schultz’ book event tonight. “We are living at a time where some for whatever reason want to do everything they can to divide us.” It’s a largely biographical ad
Schultz still says he’s considering. A msn screams “don’t help elect Trump, go back to Davos!!!”
He gets taken out by security. Also says “go back to getting ratioed on Twitter!”
Schultz draws applause in New York mind you for saying he wants to run as a “centrist independent.”
Schultz on the notion that he is a spoiler and responding to Bloomberg: “Mike Bloomberg has built a great business but I don’t agree with his conclusion.”
He says “I’m not trying to win the Twitter primary,” which was in response to the Trump tweet and maybe also getting ratioed
Schultz keeps saying that the election is decided by 8 states and he wants a contest where all 50 have a role. He says if he ran as a Democrat he’d have to be “disingenuous,” citing having to support Medicare for All, jobs guarantee and free college
Another protester screams “health care is a human right!” At Schultz

Schultz on criticism of billionaires: “It’s unamerican to think that way. I’m self made. I’m living proof of the american dream”
Schultz discussing how to solve immigration impasse in Congress: says he agrees with Republicans that there needs to be border security but no wall. Advises that tech companies could get together to determine a solution. Says he’s agaibst getting rid of ICE
