CAM EDWARDS: The Michael Bloomberg Speech He Doesn’t Want You To Hear. “On February 5th, 2015, in front of less than 400 people, Michael Bloomberg had a speaking gig at the Aspen Institute, a think tank in Colorado that sponsors a variety of speakers to the ski town. Ordinarily the various speeches and events are recorded or streamed live, but either way, the speeches are in the public domain and available for public consumption. Since the Aspen Institute is all about exchanging ideas, that makes sense, but Bloomberg did something unheard of and blocked the release of virtually every second of footage of his talk that had been recorded.”

According to a report at the time, Bloomberg urged that “police should seize guns from male minorities between ages 15 and 25.”
