The audio was reportedly sourced from a Goldman Sachs event on June 15, 2016. The person who leaked it to CNN claimed he worked for the company for 14 years and called on Bloomberg to drop from the race.
The now-2020 Democrat additionally appeared to joke about what his platform would be for a future presidential run.
“Well, to start, my first campaign platform would be to defend the banks, and you know how well that's gonna sell in this country,” he said.
Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser said the banking comments were meant as a joke. The former mayor also joked about how, if he were president, he could use Predator drones against people who had “annoyed me or screwed me.”
“It would have been a great job,” he said. “No, I mean, you think about it. You have Predators, and the Predators have missiles, and I have a list of everybody that's annoyed me or screwed me for the last 74 years, and, 'Bang, bang, bang, bang.'”
