1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: San Francisco's mayoral race is ongoing. We've been talking to

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: some of the candidates about their vision for the future

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: of this city. Some say it's tech centric nature needs

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: to be harnessed. Others say it's too tech centric. Let's

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: get the view of another candidate, Daniel Lury, founder and

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: former CEO of Tipping Point Community and Mark Farrell, has

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: been on the show and basically said were over index

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: historically to tech, but they've left. We desperately need them back.

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: You share that view, but you want to specifically focus

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: on the corner of the technology industry that's looking at

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: a green energy and climate.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Well, first, thanks for having me. San Francisco is coming back.

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: There is another question in my mind. This race is

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: about how quickly I'm running against a number of city

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: hall insiders who frankly guide us into this mess. And

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: it's not going to be done by anyone from inside

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: that building. It needs accountable leadership, it needs new ideas.

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm excited today to talk to you about my proposal

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: to bring a climate innovation hub here to San Francisco.

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: And you've just had many guests on talking about AI.

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco is already the center of AI, but we

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: need to marry that with you.

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: I've had that a lot with respect, mister Leary, what

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: are you actually going to do? You know, what is

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: a concrete policy that's going to get a company to say, yeah,

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: you know, well this he's going to fix the city.

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: We're first off, we're coming back. We have the best

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: research institutions. We have Meta, we have Google, we have

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: open Eyes AI, and we have a saying. We have

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: open office space. We have twenty two salesforce towers of

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: open office space. We have to streamline permitting to invite

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: clean tech companies back here. You need a mayor with

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: vision that no longer is going to say business is

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: a bad word, but we're going to embrace tech, clean tech.

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: We need to do this. We need to do it

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: with new vision and new leadership. And that's what I

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: bring to this race. What kind of I guess coalition

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: you building, miss Larry. You know who are the companies

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: an existing industry lead is that you feel all backing you? Well?

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: I have a track record of bringing together the business community,

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: the nonprofit community, of the civic community. Mayor ed Lee

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: actually asked me to chair the bid for Super Bowl

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: fifty back in twenty thirteen. We had to go up

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: against Miami. I led the cheerleading for that effort. We

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: won the rights to bring that game here. We brought

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty million dollars worth of economic revenue

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: to San Francisco, to the Bay Area. And guess what,

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: we created the Bay Area Host Committee. We got the

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game coming here next year. We have

51
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty coming back, we have six World Cup

52
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: matches coming here. The eyes of the world are going

53
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: to be on San Francisco again. But we have to

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: do the basics. D We have to have clean streets,

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: we have to have safe streets, and not just when

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: the JP Morgan healthcare conferences in town or APEC is here.

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Simply put, we need new leadership, and that's what I provide.

58
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: There's a political risk here that it's not just meyoral

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: candidates coming up, but there's also a presidential election that

60
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: might not be that supportive of climate tech. How do

61
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: you ensure that we're not going into a bus situation

62
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: that you're betting on the right ecosystem here at Daniel.

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Well, listen, we all know we need to have decarbonization.

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: We have a climate crisis. We all know that when

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: you're looking at companies like Meta Google, they need more energy,

66
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: they need more power, and they have their own climate goals.

67
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: And so this is a technology that is just getting started.

68
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm certain in trouble. I just want to get to

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: the idea of what the city will become. One vision

70
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: associate with Your name is Wall Street for climate tech Bros.

71
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Is that fair?

72
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: Now? Listen, this city needs to get back to its roots.

73
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: We need to be focused on arts and culture. We

74
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: also need to embrace business as well for us to

75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: be a great American city. We also need the tax

76
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: revenue that we have lost under the current leadership. We

77
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: have seen businesses fleeing this city. It's time that we

78
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: go win business back. I've done it before and I'll

79
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: do it again.

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: San Francisco Merrill candidate daniel Leary, grateful for you coming

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: into the studio.
