RUSH TRANSCRIPT In Oklahoma ░░░░░░░░ make phone calls on ░░░░░░░░ s behalf Robbie Sauve ░░░░░░░░ a senior editor and ░░░░░░░░ of the book Panic ░░░░░░░░ He joins us now ░░░░░░░░ Bloomberg campaign has several ░░░░░░░░ with the Oklahoma penal ░░░░░░░░ What actually is the ░░░░░░░░ to what mayor Bloomberg ░░░░░░░░ found himself doing using ░░░░░░░░ to make campaign calls ░░░░░░░░ I think every one ░░░░░░░░ left and center is ░░░░░░░░ to agree that it ░░░░░░░░ t look good May ░░░░░░░░ perfectly legal but I ░░░░░░░░ t think it looks ░░░░░░░░ To be using people ░░░░░░░░ are locked up to ░░░░░░░░ making calls on behalf ░░░░░░░░ your campaign I mean ░░░░░░░░ kind of statement is ░░░░░░░░ about your campaign if ░░░░░░░░ people you are getting ░░░░░░░░ about literally they have ░░░░░░░░ choice but to even ░░░░░░░░ the building So I ░░░░░░░░ t think that sends ░░░░░░░░ enthusiastic message of a ░░░░░░░░ ready to fall in ░░░░░░░░ with Michael Bloomberg and ░░░░░░░░ people to vote for ░░░░░░░░ right Mark No I ░░░░░░░░ it when you get ░░░░░░░░ calls but you sort ░░░░░░░░ always assume it is ░░░░░░░░ genuine volunteer and when ░░░░░░░░ s not you kind ░░░░░░░░ assume they paid you ░░░░░░░░ come out of work ░░░░░░░░ or somebody to do ░░░░░░░░ The idea that it ░░░░░░░░ a guy he s ░░░░░░░░ up in jail and ░░░░░░░░ a choice between sowing ░░░░░░░░ bags or hammering license ░░░░░░░░ or making telephone calls ░░░░░░░░ Michael Bloomberg it doesn ░░░░░░░░ seem like a good ░░░░░░░░ on the health of ░░░░░░░░ campaign No May be ░░░░░░░░ some ways it s ░░░░░░░░ symbolically fitting for Bloomberg ░░░░░░░░ mean this is someone ░░░░░░░░ s not an ideological ░░░░░░░░ left person I guess ░░░░░░░░ is a sort of ░░░░░░░░ But centrism can be ░░░░░░░░ in and of itself ░░░░░░░░ is a man who ░░░░░░░░ to arrest people for ░░░░░░░░ extra large soda for ░░░░░░░░ fatty foods for consuming ░░░░░░░░ tobacco products I mean ░░░░░░░░ name it it s ░░░░░░░░ good for you Mike ░░░░░░░░ thinks you should go ░░░░░░░░ jail for using it ░░░░░░░░ someone should go to ░░░░░░░░ for selling it to ░░░░░░░░ So there is a ░░░░░░░░ beam underlining this campaign ░░░░░░░░ If I recall correctly ░░░░░░░░ Kerry wound up having ░░░░░░░░ get rid of his ░░░░░░░░ call team It had ░░░░░░░░ outsourced to a call ░░░░░░░░ in Ontario which last ░░░░░░░░ I checked wasn t ░░░░░░░░ American state but it ░░░░░░░░ in the dominion of ░░░░░░░░ What you think looks ░░░░░░░░ Having to have your ░░░░░░░░ calls made by Canadians ░░░░░░░░ jailbird s Laughs I ░░░░░░░░ this is worth although ░░░░░░░░ are good ideas You ░░░░░░░░ not creating American Jobs ░░░░░░░░ the carry case you ░░░░░░░░ not quitting while paying ░░░░░░░░ because these are people ░░░░░░░░ paid far under minimum ░░░░░░░░ I don t object ░░░░░░░░ the way to prisoners ░░░░░░░░ something to do besides ░░░░░░░░ in their cells board ░░░░░░░░ bettering themselves or learning ░░░░░░░░ but I don t ░░░░░░░░ working on campaigns is ░░░░░░░░ kind of thing the ░░░░░░░░ system should be doing ░░░░░░░░ I think that strikes ░░░░░░░░ everyone as improper if ░░░░░░░░ illegal Mark That is ░░░░░░░░ the least redemptive Thank ░░░░░░░░ for that, Robbie.
