<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco's mayoral race is ongoing. We've been talking to

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 2>some of the candidates about their vision for the future

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 2>of this city. Some say it's tech centric nature needs

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>to be harnessed. Others say it's too tech centric. Let's

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 2>get the view of another candidate, Daniel Lury, founder and

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>former CEO of Tipping Point Community and Mark Farrell, has

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 2>been on the show and basically said were over index

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 2>historically to tech, but they've left. We desperately need them back.

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 2>You share that view, but you want to specifically focus

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 2>on the corner of the technology industry that's looking at

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>a green energy and climate.

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, first, thanks for having me. San Francisco is coming back.

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>There is another question in my mind. This race is

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>about how quickly I'm running against a number of city

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>hall insiders who frankly guide us into this mess. And

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be done by anyone from inside

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that building. It needs accountable leadership, it needs new ideas.

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited today to talk to you about my proposal

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to bring a climate innovation hub here to San Francisco.

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>And you've just had many guests on talking about AI.

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco is already the center of AI, but we

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>need to marry that with you.

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I've had that a lot with respect, mister Leary, what

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>are you actually going to do? You know, what is

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>a concrete policy that's going to get a company to say, yeah,

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, well this he's going to fix the city.

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>We're first off, we're coming back. We have the best

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>research institutions. We have Meta, we have Google, we have

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>open Eyes AI, and we have a saying. We have

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>open office space. We have twenty two salesforce towers of

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>open office space. We have to streamline permitting to invite

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>clean tech companies back here. You need a mayor with

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>vision that no longer is going to say business is

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>a bad word, but we're going to embrace tech, clean tech.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>We need to do this. We need to do it

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>with new vision and new leadership. And that's what I

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>bring to this race. What kind of I guess coalition

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you building, miss Larry. You know who are the companies

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>an existing industry lead is that you feel all backing you? Well?

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I have a track record of bringing together the business community,

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the nonprofit community, of the civic community. Mayor ed Lee

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>actually asked me to chair the bid for Super Bowl

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty back in twenty thirteen. We had to go up

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>against Miami. I led the cheerleading for that effort. We

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>won the rights to bring that game here. We brought

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and forty million dollars worth of economic revenue

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>to San Francisco, to the Bay Area. And guess what,

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>we created the Bay Area Host Committee. We got the

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>NBA All Star Game coming here next year. We have

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl sixty coming back, we have six World Cup

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>matches coming here. The eyes of the world are going

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to be on San Francisco again. But we have to

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 1>do the basics. D We have to have clean streets,

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>we have to have safe streets, and not just when

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>the JP Morgan healthcare conferences in town or APEC is here.

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Simply put, we need new leadership, and that's what I provide.

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 3>There's a political risk here that it's not just meyoral

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>candidates coming up, but there's also a presidential election that

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.239
<v Speaker 3>might not be that supportive of climate tech. How do

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 3>you ensure that we're not going into a bus situation

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 3>that you're betting on the right ecosystem here at Daniel.

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, listen, we all know we need to have decarbonization.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>We have a climate crisis. We all know that when

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at companies like Meta Google, they need more energy,

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>they need more power, and they have their own climate goals.

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>And so this is a technology that is just getting started.

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm certain in trouble. I just want to get to

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the idea of what the city will become. One vision

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>associate with Your name is Wall Street for climate tech Bros.

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Is that fair?

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Now? Listen, this city needs to get back to its roots.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>We need to be focused on arts and culture. We

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>also need to embrace business as well for us to

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.679
<v Speaker 1>be a great American city. We also need the tax

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>revenue that we have lost under the current leadership. We

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>have seen businesses fleeing this city. It's time that we

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>go win business back. I've done it before and I'll

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>do it again.

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco Merrill candidate daniel Leary, grateful for you coming

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:35.159
<v Speaker 2>into the studio.
