(shouting) location. here's the location that matters the most. here. or here. or here. it's wherever this is. to get customers to come here and stay here, you're going to need an ap

host: mayor michael bloomberg. that from two years ago testifying on capitol hill. that event online at c-span.org. a couple more minutes on your calls. you can agree or disagree with mayor bloomberg and his take on this. from austin, texas. the democrats line. good morning. caller: good morning. hello? host: yes, you are on the air. how long have you been in the us? caller: since 1996. ince 1996.n here s been am against -- i have here since 1986. i come from west africa. and working here in texas is not easy for us. i have been struggling to find a job because i am black. me, it has become that if you are black, it is not easy to find a new job. at all. have -- you f you are from west africa, they never want to give you any job. do not have -- i any -- i was working when i came here. are you doing now? caller: you don't want to give me a new job. i have not had job since 2006. host: so how are you living? caller: i have a degree in design. host: okay, thanks. one headline -- immigration action will boost wages and increase tax revenue. the is the assessment from wh

you got a good piece up about former new york city michael bloomberg his 2016 spending strategy.e thinking two years from now? >> well, he's decided that federal races, house senate races are too crowd. there's too many billionaires all flooding in trying to get their voices in these congressional races so mike bloomberg is taking the look, he looks ahead to 2016 and spent $40 million this year, the second most of any individual after tom styer. we can expect him to spend more. he's looking at governor races, local referendum. school board. he spent 60% of his money this time in those local races, also governors, state and local, not only because you can have an impact but because that's where the action is. >> you guys say that bloomberg got involved in 20 races and won 16 of those 20 races. steve schmidt and i couple of days before the election buried him prematurely oh, well it looks like gun control will cost the governorship in colorado, in connecticut and here you have in those two states that were most aggressive in gun control measures, hickenlooper won and dannel malloy

what i am concerned about is not that it is tom sire or michael bloomberg or michael koch. i am worried that candidates have less and less of a say in what is happening in their races. when you look across the board, it is not uncommon for a senate candidate to have 20% of those -- the voice on television. everything else -- by the way, not just what is on the other side but also on their side. 70% of the advertising is something that is completely out of your control on both sides. i am not sure that is the way that we want to run campaigns. ultimately, long-term, it is not the way you want to govern. >> i agree. [laughter] and the gators. >> you have agreed to have lunch together. >> after, yes. >> every cycle, two ed's get together and have lunch. we are going to do that on roll call. [laughter] >> how did your researchers miss the john walsh plagiarism incident? in october, he said john walsh was the right candidate with the right team in the right time in place to win for 2014. >> probably in the same way that republicans missed the plagiarism charges. have situations

most of this was from the beverage industry but there was some money -- michael bloomberg put in $400,000. berkeley approved it. i love this quote in the chronicle afterwards. roger salazar, the spokesman for anti-tax campaigns in both places, says san francisco would've mattered, but berkeley is berkeley. i don't think people will look at berkeley's results and see and think that is what the rest of the country would do. it is not exactly mainstream. this was the spokesman for the campaign. it is hard to believe a charmer like that was not successful. [laughter] >> other than free pot for poor people -- [laughter] -- any takeaway we should think about as far as these local elections? >> how do you manage -- if you're -- where you stand depends on where you sit. if you are a mayor in a big city in a state with a heavily republican state government, what do you do? big cities are always hated by the rest of the state anyway. i think that will be a tricky area for people to navigate. in general, the cities will be the blue labs of democracy while the states will be the red labs. >> we will

. >>> and billionaire michael bloomberg has this advice to high schoolers, become a plumber. trades are a better option than college for many people he says, so is college worth it? we want to you head to facebook.com new day. college is worth it with an asterisk. if you have to take on too much debt, if you don't finish in four years, college might not be worth it for you. >> it's a topic that so many people are debating around their dinner table because it's gotten so expensive and it burdens students, so you sort of have to know what you want before you start. >> i would be very proud to have a plumber as son. >> people disparage the trades, mike rhodes talks about it all the time. you know how to run a wis, you're good at a trade, you're going to do very well. >> you can't outsource a plumber. >> can you find us on twitter. >>> all right. we're going to watch a landing on a comet. now christine romans, i know it sounds simple to you. >> this is not simple. you're right. if it succeeds, it will be the first time a spacecraft has ever landed on a comet we'll talk to a scien

host: one issue michael bloomberg has been involved in is gun laws and supporting candidates who support more gun control. what do you make of that effort? shoot caller: i think he needs to go back to new york where he came from and leave us alone out here. we are out and the cops don't come that fast. even the people in the city. you know, blood pressuring bloomberg needs to take his money and go feed his face or something. i can't stand the man. he tries to control everything. they act like they know it all, how to live our lives, what we should eat, what we should drink, what we should wear, where we should live. you have bill gates trying to take over the education system with his push of common core. and nobody -- globaltize our children. yes care about politics until i have i had two grandchildren. now, i am very concerned about their future in this country because we are losing america. host: in pennsylvania, let's go to new york, brooklyn on our line for republicans. kim is waiting. kim, good morning. caller: yeah. i would just like to say that, you know, everyone talking about t

according to buzz feed which said that michael was particularly upset with the reporting of sarah lacy who has written several stories article of uber. in a statement to "bloombergest" michael said the remarks attributed to me bored out of frustration over an informal debate over what has been sensational coverage of the company does not reflect my actual views and have no relation to the company's views or approach. they were wrong no matter the circumstance and i regret them. said we spokeswoman have not, will not investigative journalists and have no basis in the reality of our approach. joining me now is a bloomberg reporter who covers uber and cory johnson. this happened at a dinner in new york and the investigate -- and the vice president thought it was off the record. the buzz the journalist said he was never told the remarks were off the record. what is your take? >> i think he probably went a little bit off the reservation and felt comfortable speaking off-the-cuff at a dinner, but you know who is in the room. the guy from buzz feed was not the only journalist there. michael wolff was in the room, another journalist. this feels to me like an example of
