#MikeBloomberg labels an entire religion and a block of countries as “the whole crazy Islamic world.” #HiddenMike

#MikeBloomberg sees “nothing wrong with” conservative billionaire David Koch influencing elections with his fortune, calling it “what democracy is all about” and “the democratic process.” Bloomberg says he is “annoyed” by the criticism. #HiddenMike

#MikeBloomberg shares a plan to reward citizenship to immigrants who start a business, take no government assistance, and stay out of jail for seven years.

He assures “we can afford to do it” because it’s “not going to change the demographics of the country.” #HiddenMike

When asked about income inequality, #MikeBloomberg dismisses it and responds that all a mayor has got to do is “bring crime back to the streets and you’ll solve the inequality problem” because the wealthy will leave and the poor are stuck. #HiddenMike

#MikeBloomberg says education doesn’t help adults and adults don’t go back to school.

“Education is not going to help anybody that is an adult now. Nobody comes back to school. That just ridiculous. It doesn’t happen.” #HiddenMike

#MikeBloomberg suggests parents steer their kids away from “a chance of going next year to Harvard” and toward a plumbing career instead. #HiddenMike

#MikeBloomberg says jobs for “liberal arts majors” have “gone down in value to society.” #HiddenMike

#MikeBloomberg says NYC shut down vocational programs in the 60’s because no one wanted to tell parents their 12 year old kids can’t read and weren’t going to college. #HiddenMike

This is the question that prompted #MikeBloomberg’s “95% MO / Xerox” stop and frisk comment. He was asked about a solution, in the name of equality, opportunity, and fairness, for students who were failed by the education system. Stop and frisk was his answer. #HiddenMike

This stop and frisk response and the 6th tweet up from this one show #MikeBloomberg responding to questions on equality with talk of crime and policing. #HiddenMike

After #MikeBloomberg acknowledged arresting a disproportionate number of “minorities” for marijuana under stop and frisk, he says marijuana legalization is a “terrible idea” that his girlfriend defends.

He says he smoked joints in the 60’s, but that was different. #HiddenMike

At the 2015 Aspen Institute event, #MikeBloomberg told a joke about a husband who had a genie that granted him three wishes which he used to become a billionaire, improve his golf game, and kill his wife.

When asked about making tuition more affordable, #MikeBloomberg responded “we should raise the tuition as high as we possibly could” to “subsidize” poor students, even if students “riled” against it, seeing tuition as “a great transfer of wealth” to poor families. #HiddenMike

Above are highlights of the leaked audio from the 2015 Aspen Institute event that #MikeBloomberg doesn’t want you to see.

Many speculate that is was these #stopandfrisk comments that made him block the release of the video. Maybe. Maybe not...#HiddenMike

Perhaps #MikeBloomberg blocked the video because he said his girlfriend, Diana Taylor, defends “one of the stupider things that’s happening across our country” — the “terrible idea” of legalizing marijuana.
