bloomberg denies the story.d the financial times hong kong correspondent reported the same story quoting sources inside bloomberg. >> i spent a lot of time going back and forth with bloomberg and mr. winkler and put the question to him, why do you think you'll be kicked out of china if you run these stories. and for a man who encourages his reporters to be very aggressive when talking to business leaders he was reluctant to give more than a short and simple answer. >> the stories we've seen out of china means that there are more chinese people who can read english and other foreign languages, and therefore it becomes more important for the chinese government from its perspective. first the change we're seeing that the chinese government is aware of the fact that a lot is being written and contradicts the image of itself that it wants to promote. that is why it's being restrictive and more aggressive in terms of attacking western media. >> reporter: the other touch card beijing occasionally plays against the jour

the data on what mike bloomberg accomplished is very clear.low crime and record high private sector employment and have record life expectancey and the most parks in history and the cleanest air in our history. we have bike share that has been successful and transformed this city through rezonings and street scape improvements. this is the best time to live in new york in my time. i believe mike bloomberg will go down as the greatest mayor in the history of the city. we will do everything we can in the next 54 days to make the transition to the mayor-elect as seamless and painless as possible. we want to make sure he hits the ground running and as mike bloomberg said, he would like them to do a better job. we believe the best days are ahead. we give the city over in better shape than we found it and in very good shape. >> is there something specific that deblasio promised to doed and you say please don't undo this? >> it's important for those of us in city government and the mayor to respect the fact that we have a new mayor-elect and we will

bloomberg has problems. "the new york times" has that problem.ter in hong kong spent a year trying to get into the mainland where his family are and so i think that's one problem. also bloomberg and "the new york times" are blocked in china. you can't access their websites. so there are ways the authorities try to make your life more difficult but in terms of actual expulsions, its an aggressive move in the communist party holding back from doing that because of negative press that they will receive. >> jim, you want to jump in. give us your response. >> the biggest picture here is from western perspective chinese communist government is hurting itself by making it hard for reporters to travel there. the unbalanced picture from inside china is more positive than negative but we have a clash one from china and one from the western world. >> thank you very much. we appreciate you guys joining us. it's looking like a banner year for movies with mostly nonwhite cast. is hollywood and the media unfairly marginalizing those films by focusing on the rac

mayor bloomberg did this after sandy.re staggering. 70% of all of the carbon emissions, china itself by in the next 20 years will have a billion people living in cities. one country will have a billion city dwellers. if you look at how they're doing planning, cities are well planned and cities go forward. in vast majority of places, cities don't have capacity to begin planning for resilience and think about their carbon emissions. only about 20% of all of the major cities including in developed countries can measure their own greenhouse gases. in the developing world what's really difficult is that cities are not credit worthy. of the 500 largest of cities in the developing world, only 4% are internationally credit worthy. higher percentage are nationally credit worthy. they need technology and know how to plan and build cities that will be cleaner and greener and more livable and at the same time make the contribution they need to make to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. >> when you look at this at the rockefeller

what do you think bloomberg's legacy is going to be?>> bloomberg's legacy, besides what i said before about the boom if billionaires and the boom in poor people and him not quite getting people's pain in the last few years, is also going to be as probably the greatest public health mayor in the history of america. >> stephen: you mean nanny state mayor. >> you can call it nanny state mayor. >> stephen: i just did. >> if you want. >> stephen: i just z you mean like raising the smoking age, no more than 16 ounce of a soda, i don't think you're allowed to give children lollipops any more. >> the lollipop ban hasn't been proposed as far as i know. >> stephen: because he got resistance from the lollipop guild. yeah. (cheers and applause) now what about right across the river, right over there, right o cross the river in new jersey, chris christie won in a blue state, why de win in a blue state, was it just his response to sandy or something else about chris christie that appeals to people. because they had a really strong candidate against h

de blasio versus lhota one of them the republican of course he said he basically would follow in bloomberg steps lhota said that he would continue with his policies that he would basically stick with more of the same and it's the new kind of the candidate they we are expecting to win tonight de blasio who said look it's time for change and new yorkers really seem to be catching on to this message if this message being something that he you know he sticks with his promises but he is very far ahead in the polls and the things that he promised are quite simple and that have been huge issues in new york over the last several years the huge wealth inequality between the rich and poor in the city of course something that bloomberg was certainly not able to tackle or did not concentrate enough of being one of the richest people in the united states he did blasio did promise to put an end to the controversial stop and frisk program find more a horde of affordable housing in new york city certainly something a huge issue for many people continuing to struggle on this market and really just benefits

. >> can we talk about colorado, mayor bloomberg teamed with bill gates and teachers union which areally at odds. it does a number of things, raises taxes to fund education but goes only for education. >> has a lockbox. >> equalizes funding, poor areas are going to do better that historically have done worse and requires reforms around teacher competency and excellence in the classroom. it's totally comprehensive. it's both reformers like mike bloomberg and bill gates and teachers run coming together to get this done. it's very close, hopefully will pass. >> i will also note if we're talking about colorado a state turning blue, deep purple, progressive measures on the ballot, 11 of colorado's 64 counties are expected to pass a referendum in favor of secession from the state. to a larger point, a shift from blues, red to purple, but the deep red is as entrenched as it has been. if you look at 1976, less than a quarter americans won in a place where there was a landslide. 2004 only half lived in landslide counties. the divisions are deep. >> the sense of alienation among far right, tea

how much of this election was a repudiation of the bloomberg years, all 12 of the bloomberg years?as a complaint about the fact that so much of the benefits from those 12 years seem to have accrued to people at the top. but i think it's also a reafrica shun of how far the city has come over the last 30 or 40 years. we had all of these mayors' races that were defined by fears over crime, fears over the economic decline of new york city, and joe lhota got no traction because the city is so much safer than it used to be. it's hard to scare people into the idea that some policy change is suddenly going to return to new york to the 1970s or 1980s. so to some extent bloomberg and other mayorses like him, koch and guiliani have a similar policy thrust to what bloomberg had, partly victims of their own success. people forget how far we came. they focus on a new set of concerns. and i think it's reasonable to shift to a new set of concerns. but i don't think it's right to call it a rejection of what's really quite a good record. >> sally, one of the centerpieces of de blasio's campaign was

you had two feelings about bloomberg when he was in there, this is a rich guy, another, he's building a rich legacy. is there a next for him in politics. >> i think there's definitely a next. he showed what can happen when you're not beholden to other people's money or special interests. you can do your thing and make progress. i see him leading an independent think tank that is data driven rather than money driven. i think it can work. >> he showed what he can do with all that because he's rich. you're right. i think his political future is pretty bleak, chris. for this reason alone. let's define him. he's a technocrat. what i mean by that, he's data driven, elite expert that knows how to micromanage people's lives and works on a local level. it's harder on a national level. he's lost his number one tool. his number one tool was force. the rule of law. that's how you can implement these technocratic solutions. he has to rely on persuasion.

there has been the gilded age of bloomberg, in which things worked well for certain parts of society, the real estate crowd really understood they were on a major role. the de blasio said, no, it is not rking well for everyone and we need to pause and say that. what was beautiful about this election is that people heard it and responded overwhelmingly. getting elected is easy compared to governing. de blasio has the wind at his back and the city council that is made up of some first-rate people. proxy of a democratic of owner, andrew cuomo, who out of the gate said he is not going to necessarily back de blasio plus signature call for raising taxes on the rich to fund pre-k, so -- what is going to be
