Did Bloomberg really say this?

ETA: Yes, he really did. I found video of the Katie Couric interview here. The statement about homeless people flying first class into the city just so New York will take care of them starts around the 18:15 mark. The comments this guy has made about homeless people, not supporting minimum wage, and so many others has me scratching my head how people can actually support this DINO.

I was doing some research earlier on Bloomberg’s comments about not supporting minimum wage when I found this comment he made during an interview in regard to too many homeless people in New York.

“You can literally come, fly first class to Kennedy Airport and say to the taxi driver, ‘Take me the shelter system.”

The only source I found for this is observer.com. I’m not sure if they’re trustworthy or not, so I’m asking for help. Obviously, if he did in fact say it, I think it’s a problem. If not, please let me know and I’ll delete. Thanks!

Here’s the article where I found it.

I know our people beat Trump by various amounts. But what are the chances he’ll still be president then? Maybe we should prepare to adjust fire toward Pence?

"Did the President lie? Was the President not truthful in his responses to the Mueller investigation?" House general counsel Douglas Letter told the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit about why the House now needs access to grand jury material Mueller collected in his investigation.
