7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: We are broadcasting from Bloomberg's Government next to twenty eighteen

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: conference in Washington, d C. And no visit to the

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: district would be complete without interviewing someone from the US Congress.

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: And we are lucky and fortunate to have Congresswoman Anna

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: Shu U s representative of course from California, Democrat from California,

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: representing the eighteen congressional district. This is the heart of

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley. Congresswoman su thank you very much for being

14
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: with us. We appreciate it. Um. Before we get to uh,

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: sort of the details of healthcare and cybersecurity and all

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: this stuff, we've got to talk just a little bit

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: of politics. Nancy Pelosi. Will Nancy Pelosi be the next

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: majority leader. She won't be the majority leader, she'll be

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: the speaker. Speaker of the House. I beg your pardon,

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: she will be, she will be. Will it be a fight, Well,

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I think it already is, and uh she's had opposition before,

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: so uh as she says, this is not a tea party,

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: this is UH politics. But she will prevail. Do you

24
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: think that there's enough unity among the Democrats in the

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: House to push forward an agenda that is ambitious and

26
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: that can actually gain some traction? At this point, I do,

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: What do you think are gonna be the main sort

28
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: of tenants of that platform? Well, certainly healthcare was number

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: one in congressional districts across the country. That's not just

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: my definition. But as post ers pull apart uh the

31
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 1: numbers and do the examination of why uh people voted

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: the way they did, what their top issue was, and

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: that's unusual because congressional districts all differ. Uh No two

34
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: are exactly the same. But this was the top issue

35
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: and it was uh not surprising to me. But I

36
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: think too many that uh they didn't vote the economy.

37
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: They they voted their own economy, and that is what

38
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: health care costs them. Uh if it's coverage is taken

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: away from them, Uh, what it does to families and

40
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: to individuals. Uh So that was the top issue. Do

41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: I think the energy and the commitment is there to

42
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: address these issues? Certainly? Uh members uh were re elected

43
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: on these issues. Uh and uh, as you see the outcome,

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: we have an extraordinary, very uh new class of members

45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: freshmen coming in. They too were elected on these issues,

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: and so they have that commitment. They come in, they

47
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: refresh the Congress. They're going to be really high value

48
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: added to the Congress. Very exciting, especially the women. Can

49
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: you offer any details as to what kind of legislation,

50
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: what specifically you would like to see come out of

51
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: the committee, and what you can reasonably expect in terms

52
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: of overall passage. Well, I think that number one, the

53
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: the issue of pre existing conditions has to be guaranteed.

54
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Uh So the that was all embedded in the Affordable

55
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Care Act. Keep in mind that every member, whether a

56
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat, their healthcare coverage is the Affordable Care Act.

57
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: So you know, there's some hypocrisy that crept into this,

58
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: but nonetheless it is it's an essential uh for coverage.

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: So I think the uh, the Affordable Care Act has

60
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: been out there for some time. UH, we know what's working,

61
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: what isn't working. Affordability. You don't have access to anything

62
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: unless you can afford it. And so affordability is a

63
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: very important UH to examine to shore up UH the

64
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: guarantee of pre existing conditions UH, and so that needs

65
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: to be addressed UH in the at the Energy and

66
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: Commerce Committee, first, at the Health subcommittee. On the other committee,

67
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: that subcommittee that I serve on its telecommunications and and

68
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: UH and technology Internet freedom, yes, very much so, net neutrality. UH.

69
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: I think the issues of UH of issue of privacy

70
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: UH is is a big one. It needs to be addressed.

71
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: How platforms, social platforms are are being used. You know,

72
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: do you support regulation? Well, I think that we need

73
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: to examine section to thirty because UH. And when I

74
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: say examine, I mean examine. I don't have a recipe

75
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: for changing it right now, but I do believe that, UH,

76
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: when you have hate speech that violence follows, and UM,

77
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone in the country that can

78
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: defend that. The Congress needs to address it. Just to

79
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: be clear, at section to thirty this is UH. This

80
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: was passed as part of the Communication Decency Act. Correct,

81
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: that's the Yes, it was and a lot has changed

82
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: A lot of Oh sure, we didn't have uh social

83
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: media at that time, and there isn't anything wrong with

84
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: social media per se. But if the platforms are being

85
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: used for the darker side of nature and out of

86
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: that darker side comes violence, UH, that simply is not acceptable.

87
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Or that platforms be used to damage our democracy, that

88
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: we can't There isn't anyone that can defend that. So

89
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: these are areas, the very serious areas, and I think

90
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: that uh the committee should um um not only be

91
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: involved in it, but in an in an examination, but

92
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: to where it's necessary um produce sound legislation to address it.

93
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: I just want to give you about twenty seconds, and

94
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: I know it's short, but you have a personal experience

95
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: with refugees, with people coming and fleeing countries. Morning, if

96
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: you could just share that with people and give us

97
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on what is happening with immigration currently. Well,

98
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: my mother father um as children uh immigrated to the

99
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: United States with their parents, my grandparents. UH. But they

100
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: didn't come on a luxury liner. UH. They fled persecution.

101
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: There were Catholics Christians uh in the Middle East very

102
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: much a minority, uh, and so they fled for their lives.

103
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: And so, Um, I'm a first generation American, and so

104
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: I see my family in those families that are fleeing

105
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: persecution as well. Thank you very much for being with

106
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: US congresswoman and s U S Representative Democrat for representing

107
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: California's eighteenth Congressional district. I am so excited for our

108
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: next cast. Chris Alman, chief investment Officer of AT Calistro's

109
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: California State Teacher's Retirement System, which is based in Sacramento, California,

110
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: with more than two hundred billion dollars of assets under management. Chris,

111
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: the topic of the day is a gun safety, but

112
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: before we get into that, I just want to ask,

113
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: how are you doing with the fires and uh? And

114
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: have you seen a lot of the consequences in your area?

115
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: You know? Um. I get up every morning now, Lisa

116
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: and I actually check the a q I, the Air

117
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: quality Index. It is absolutely remarkable. I tweeted out a

118
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: picture my Twitter handle is c j A the c

119
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: I O UH, And my question was is this Beijing, China?

120
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: But no, it's actually Sacramento, California. The a q R

121
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: a QUI right now is over two D and twenty,

122
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: which is unhealthy. Uh. The orange. I'm I'm looking out

123
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: the window and the sun is a deep orange color

124
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: even though it's uh in the morning. Here people have

125
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: are walking around with masks on their face. Um, and

126
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: it's been like this for a week. So we know

127
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: people in Paradise, California, it is a beautiful town and

128
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: it is gone. It is white doubt. And I've got

129
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: staff who have relatives that are living with them, a

130
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: neighbor who has their friends living with them. These people

131
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: were able to get out just barely in time with

132
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: the clothes on their backs. So uh, it is very remarkable.

133
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: I want to relate this to your vantage point as

134
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: the chief investment officer of this massive retirement fund, how

135
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: are you using your money in order to influence things

136
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: in the way that you would like? In other words,

137
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: with the fires, for example, a lot of people are

138
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: blaming certain kinds of climate change issues for this. So

139
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: how are you sort of how is this coloring your

140
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: investment pieces. Well, we actually factor in what we call

141
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: E S and G environmental, social and governance issues into

142
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: everything we do. And part of the challenge with climate change,

143
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: which is the environmental side, is predicting the rate of

144
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: change and exactly what will happen, and that's an active

145
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: management decision. So UM. Sadly, we critics on both sides,

146
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: some that say we're not doing enough, others say we're

147
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: doing too much. But you know, I think investors and

148
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: institutional investors in particular recognize that something is changing, and

149
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: they would if you can get out in ahead of it,

150
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: then there's opportunities, but it also represents risks. So in

151
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: our case, we try and look at our portfolio. We're

152
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: looking at these kinds of weather pattern changes and how

153
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: that will impact companies. Uh. You're seeing it already in

154
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: the insurance industry that they're changing pricing on different things. Uh.

155
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's it is a stark new reality. California

156
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: has always had wildfires, uh, and they have at times

157
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: been bad. The reason they're particularly bad is the the

158
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: length of drought and the new change which Houston and

159
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: other places you mentioned earlier this morning have seen. If

160
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: the fact that when you get rain, you get it

161
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: in abundance, and that leads to massive weed overgrowth in California,

162
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: which when it drives out, turns into fire. So I

163
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: think all of us are going to first hand experience

164
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: changes in our lives that impact UH US in so

165
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: many ways. It's and we're challenging and engaging companies to

166
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: see if they are paying attention and reacting. And I

167
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: have to say a lot of corporate executives are waking up.

168
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: They're not falling for the political rhetoric. I was going

169
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: to ask you while you and him are down there

170
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: in that slush, can you can you clean that place

171
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: up for us and and get Washington figured out. I

172
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: got my shovel ready, Chris, I'm going out right after

173
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: the broadcast, but I gotta ask you about changes and

174
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: engaging investors and companies in a topic that has been

175
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: the headline just almost every month because of something horrible,

176
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: and this is gun safety and gun manufacturing and firearms.

177
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Tell us what you're doing and what you expect to happen.

178
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: Thanks Tim for bringing me back to the point, and

179
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: you hit it right on the head, which is institutional

180
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: investors have been, uh just horrified by the violence that's

181
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: gone on in American society as a whole. In our

182
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: board after Las Vegas last year and then Stillman majority

183
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: High school, our board, you know, which is primarily comprised

184
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: of teachers. Our chair Harry Keeley put forth the motion

185
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: that we make firearms engagement our number one effort, um

186
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: and priority over everything else. And I got the opportunity

187
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: to meet up with some people at Harvard and we

188
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: put together a task force and I am thrilled it.

189
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: Yesterday we launched our responsible Civilian Firearms Principles. And you know,

190
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: and you're in the city, you're in in Washington, it

191
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: is so divided, UH, and the discussion is just almost bipolar,

192
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: one extreme in the other. These principles are trying to

193
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: go right down the middle. They're trying to be sensible

194
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: and responsible. And you've got a broad spectrum of institutional

195
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: investors UH states defined benefit plans four win K plan,

196
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: it's almost five trillion dollars in assets, saying as investors

197
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: in this industry, we're calling on everybody to step up

198
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: and enact change. And him I I equated a lot

199
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: to seat belts. You know, not a lot of people

200
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: remember that the auto industry fought seat belts fearing that

201
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: people would think cars weren't safe. Now we don't even

202
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: give it a second thought. Hold on a second, belts

203
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: are mandatory. So what give us one specific example of

204
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: something that this five trillion dollar cohort of investors would

205
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: like to see done to make guns more safe. I

206
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: can give you three examples. First, UH, guns have serial numbers,

207
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: but they have the ability to put a serial number

208
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: on every part. The police would like to see that.

209
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: It makes it easier for them to identify criminals and

210
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: where the guns came from. And we think that's a

211
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: responsible act for the industry because they want their guns

212
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: used properly, not not improperly. Another one would be for

213
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: the retailers stop filling out the registration form. There are

214
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: places where the clerks are filling out the registration forms

215
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: or selling multiple guns in one sale box, you know,

216
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: hundreds of them, um, instead of paying attention. And then

217
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: another one Lisa that it is the responsibility of Washington,

218
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: d C. The background check system is archaic. I mean,

219
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: it's as bad as the voting system in Florida. It's

220
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: just crazy. Then this digital day and age that background

221
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: checks are not done at a national basis and done

222
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: in three days. Um. Uh. Those are simple changes that

223
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: technology already exists. Uh. And we think these would be

224
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: material things that would make the industry measures. So we're

225
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: going to engage manufacturers. Uh, finance, distribution and retail, every

226
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: every part of the chain to UH to step up

227
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: and UH and be more responsible and make these products

228
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: a bit safer, kind of like seatbelts. It's not going

229
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: to stop the horrible incidents all the time that Pim mentioned,

230
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,479
Speaker 1: but UH, we're hoping that we can make some improvements.

231
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,359
Speaker 1: Well done, Thank you very much, Chris Ailman, Chief Investment Officer, Calisters.

232
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: This is the California State Teachers Retirement System, assets under

233
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: management more than two hundred and twenty billion dollars, joining

234
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: us from Sacramento, California, speaking about a new initiative in

235
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: the investment industry for responsible gun ownership. And our hearts

236
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: go out to everybody in California dealing with the fires

237
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: and all the best trying to get them out and

238
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: get safe. This is Bloomberg Markets with Pim Fox and

239
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Lisa Bramowitz on Bloomberg Radio. We are broadcasting from Bloomberg's

240
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: Government Next Conference in a snowy Washington, d C. And

241
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: our topic now is privacy, cyber security and hacking threats

242
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: all electronic, all something that is in the purview of

243
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: the government. Here to help us understand the issue more

244
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: is Tom gann. He is the chief public policy officer

245
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: for McAfee. They are based, of course in Santa Clara.

246
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Tom for being with us. We

247
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. What is the biggest issue for you right now?

248
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: There are a lot of issues cybersy we can go on,

249
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, but you can't do everything at once. What

250
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: is the top thing on your plate? Well, the biggest

251
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: thing for us at McAfee is really continuing to drive innovation,

252
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: putting a lot of focus on security in the cloud,

253
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: ensuring that our solutions work well between the endpoint and

254
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: the cloud, because that's where we think all the action

255
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: is UH and UH public policies that support outcomes that

256
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: work well for our customers is job number one. Do

257
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: you think that representatives elected representatives fully understand the risks

258
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: at play and the issues as you discuss it with them.

259
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: So that's a really interesting question. If I went back

260
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: ten years ago, I would say that most elected officials

261
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: really didn't have any appreciation for cybersecurity. I remember being

262
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: in a skiff years ago with about ten senators and

263
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: the skiff is a very sort of private area that

264
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: is restricted, right, and they were asking such good questions

265
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: about the threat landscape. But it was clear that everything

266
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: that we were telling them was really new news. Today.

267
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: In similar type environments, when the threat landscape is discussed,

268
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: no one disputes that the threats are real, that threat

269
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: actors are significant, state actors, terrorist organizations, criminal organizations. I

270
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: think what is new today is just getting a handle

271
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: on the innovation that's occurring on the hacker side. Innovation

272
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: on the hacker side is oftentimes exceeding innovation on the

273
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: private side, actor and governmental side, and that's why in

274
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: many ways we still see an imbalance. Well before we

275
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: started the conversation, I asked you whether your iPhone was hacked,

276
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: In other words, that you just assume that someone or

277
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: something has access to it. And you had one response,

278
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: and then you said, but you don't do transactions on

279
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: your iPhone. Well, I guess I'm paranoid. Being in the

280
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: cybersecurity industry. I focus on doing my transactions of the

281
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: most important kind with one PC that only interacts with

282
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: a small number of actors. That gives me a higher

283
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: degree of confidence. I think it's a good practice that

284
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: said I don't worry too much about my iPhone. I

285
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: limit the kinds of transactions I do on it, uh,

286
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: and the security in iPhones are actually quite good. Which

287
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: countries are sort of spewing out the most sophisticated malware

288
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: or hacking advances that are exceeding the advances in the

289
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: private and governmental sectors in the US? Well, according to

290
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: the published reports from the U S Intelligence Services, it's

291
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: really the Big Four China, Russia, UH, Iran, UH, and UH.

292
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: You know, then you certainly see a range of criminal

293
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: organizations that are becoming ever more capable. So just I'm wondering,

294
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: do you have a sense of what these groups are

295
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: trying to get at? What information do they want? There

296
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: are different objectives for different actors. If you're a large

297
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: nation state, you may be more interested in the theft

298
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: of intellectual property. You may be more interested in getting

299
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: insight on intelligence military operations to support your long term

300
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: ten twenty thirty year planning cycles. If you're a criminal organization,

301
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: or maybe I had failed to mention North Korea, which

302
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: is actually the last of the Big four, h you

303
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: may leverage cyber attacks to actually fund your nation state activities.

304
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you're in the leadership of North Korea,

305
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: getting a couple billion dollars a year in hard currency

306
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: to support a lifestyle you know, becomes very important. Using

307
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: cyber capabilities to help achieve those financial ends can be

308
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: an important objective of a state of that kind. To

309
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: the top level executives at a security company like McAfee,

310
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: do they utilize a virtual private network to communicate confidential information? Well,

311
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: the communications that we do are on our own network

312
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: that's secured through our technology. But it is the same

313
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: kind of solution set that we sell to large organizations.

314
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Were big believers in eating our own dog food, and

315
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: we have a high degree of confidence in our solutions

316
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: that protect our own organization and because of that, we

317
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: can confidently talk to customers about their solution needs. Which

318
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: sector in the private sector in the United States do

319
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: you think is most at risk of being hacked? Well,

320
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: i think they're all at risk. That said, the top

321
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: ones traditionally have been financed because folks like to go

322
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: where the money is uh. And then also the government

323
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: that's where so many secrets reside. And then also innovators

324
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: where there's intellectual property of great value that can support

325
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: economic development and the achievement of national objectives. These are

326
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: all critical areas that are at risk. Do you consider

327
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: social media and the creation of false backers and false posting.

328
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: Is that in your Bailey wick is that considered a

329
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: cyber crime. It's a version of cyber time in the

330
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: sense that it uses it excuse me, it utilizes technical

331
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: means to achieve political and social objectives. And so the

332
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: co mingling of technical capabilities with traditional UH nation state disinformation.

333
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I think UH is in many ways the cutting edge

334
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: of the risk profile because it has the greatest potential

335
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: to do damage to our democracy, our confidence in democracy,

336
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: and to me, UH that is the greatest treasure that

337
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: we must protect. So there were some pretty strict data

338
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: privacy regulations that took effect in Europe about six months ago.

339
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: Do you expect anything similar to get implemented in the

340
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: United States over the next few years. It's certainly possible.

341
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: There's been enough pressure in the system building UH for

342
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: privacy legislation to get some traction the large breaches UH

343
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Cambridge Analytica for example, UH. And the other thing to

344
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: remember is you US companies by and large have been

345
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: getting ready to comply with GDPR, So many of those

346
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: investments have already taken place. The added lift to federalized

347
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: privacy rules such that they're more efficient, but that their

348
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: teeth are UH sounder certainly is something that is achievable.

349
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: Whether that occurs, we'll have to see. Thank you very

350
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: much for being with us and sharing all this information.

351
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: Tom Gann is the chief public Policy officer at McAfee. Today,

352
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: uh Acridge Holdings had its aditional public offering on the

353
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: Canadian Stock Exchange US now as the chief executive of

354
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: that company, Kevin Murphy joining us from New York. Kevin, congratulations.

355
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit about why you

356
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: decided to file in Canada for this I p O

357
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: and what the benefits are of being public for you?

358
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Starling in Canada is really the best option for us,

359
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: and today, unfortunately it's the only option for us. We're

360
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: not yet welcome here in uh the US on either

361
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: the New York Stock Exchange or the NAZACS, so we've

362
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: chosen to go north. And we feel that the Canadians

363
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: today are leading the capital markets as it related to cannabis.

364
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit about the financial

365
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: underpinnings of the industry in terms of how are you able,

366
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: at least in the United States to bank the cannabis industry?

367
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: Well given our scale and size, and currently today we're

368
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: in eighteen states. We do have an are afforded banking

369
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: is predominantly on the local side, but we have banks

370
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: in all eighteen states in which we operate. Smaller operators

371
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: don't have the luxury. It is a differentiator for us,

372
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: but it's an unfair differentiator, and we're looking um really

373
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: the two thousand and nineteen for the States Act to pass,

374
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: and we believe that would satisfy the banking as well.

375
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: So we're optimistic for two thousand and nineteen and couldn't

376
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: be in better position for it. So let's talk a

377
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: little bit about Acreage. It's a medical marijuana company. It

378
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: has backing from John Bayner, formerly the Speaker of the House,

379
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: who is a Republican and was formerly also opposed to

380
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: marijuana legalization. What do you see going forward as the

381
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: potential biggest potential opportunity for your business. I believe at

382
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: this time it's really catching lightning in a bottle. We

383
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: could not be in better position with the midterm elections

384
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: coming and going, and there was as much about who

385
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: was elected as to who was not elected, and for

386
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: the first time we're truly seeing the people of the

387
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: United States being heard as it relates to cannabis reformed.

388
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: And so you see an Illinois governor and the Connecticut

389
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: governor now being elected pro cannabis, and more and more

390
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: people are really having access to what we believed to

391
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: be a miracle plan. So UM we believe that the

392
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: sea change is taking place and it's evident with what

393
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: we believed to be a good policy change. Now the company,

394
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, having gone a public Uh, this is

395
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: formally applied Inventions Management and High Street Capital Partners. Correct,

396
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: those are the two involved. That is correct. We have

397
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: done a reverse merger into UM said company, and frankly,

398
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: to us, it was the path of lease resistance. It

399
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: saved us the most time, and today is our first

400
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: day of trading. Could not be more pleased and more

401
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: proud of the effort that had gone in to making

402
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: that a reality. Kevin, who's your biggest competitor? You know,

403
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: it's a good question. We see everyone in this business,

404
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: not necessarily as competitors, but we see them all as

405
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: frankly carrying the flag. We have found that in every state,

406
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: UM where we see more and more players, more competitive

407
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: and frankly better players that are UM, abiding by regulations

408
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: and providing safe, predictable medicine, the usage in those states

409
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: goes up. So the fact is that more is better

410
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: in these states. We have a lot of folks that

411
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: we admire UM, but we don't truly see them as competitors. Now,

412
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: you've raised over three hundred million dollars as part of

413
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: the initial public offering. Where you're going to spend that money.

414
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: Is it going to go to acquiring other companies you've

415
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: done that in the past, or are you're gonna build

416
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: out organically tim all of the above, Our goal is

417
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: to continue being the leader in this country as it

418
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: relates to size, scale, and really unel So we will

419
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: use it for acquisition along with the stock that will

420
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: now be trading on the Canadian Stock Exchange. We'll look

421
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: at to increase our footprints, higher additional experts, and ultimately

422
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: build brands in the space that will resonate for years

423
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: to come. Do you expect that Are you banking on

424
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: a full broad legalization in the United States of medical marijuana?

425
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: I know that state by state there was there were

426
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: a few states that did UH that did legalize this

427
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: in the midromal elections, But what do you expect on

428
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: a broad, broad based level, Honey, broad based. Today we

429
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: have thirty three medical states, ten of which are recreational states,

430
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: and I believe the State Act will be the first

431
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: window of opportunity to uh really receive a fair tax

432
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: code in this country, have the ability for everyone, not

433
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: just US, um bank this business, and that will afford

434
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: us the opportunity to grow state by state. I believe

435
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: that it won't necessarily go federally legal for a little

436
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: time to come, but having clarity with the States Act

437
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: is going to be a great first step in really

438
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: legitimizing the fastest growing industry in the United States today.

439
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: Just quickly give you about fifteen seconds here, Kevin Prime

440
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Canada, Brian mulroney has joined your board

441
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: of directors. Is he behind the product as well as

442
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: the idea, Well, he's certainly behind compassionate care for others

443
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: not uh. You know, one doesn't necessarily need to uh

444
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: use the pro the product to be an advocate for safe,

445
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: predictable medicine for people that need it. So we couldn't

446
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: be more pleased and proud to have the Prime Minister,

447
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: along with John Bayner and Bill Well Thanks very much.
