  1. Facetiously, I think a strong, I really believe this, a progressive message, a clear message, a message that is not elitist, not coastal, but about everyday working people, and we are 90% of the way there. I'm not making that up. Right now, this country is ready to elect a Democrat, period. Don't screw it up. Don't give them a reason to wonder if we're on their side or not. 2016, Nestoria 2016 is a lot of working Americans, including a lot of people who vote Democrat, did not know that Democrats were on their side. So I would say for me or any candidate, if it's working people first, as I say, or whatever version of it, and it's crystal clear, we are actually going to stand up to corporations and tax the wealthy more and help people get better jobs, better benefits, better wages. Going to win, period.

  2. It's a compliment. But no, I think I actually think this is a better field than we've seen many, many times. It's an extraordinarily diverse. There's tons of talent as a progressive. There are tremendous progressive voices. I mean, I often had years where I looked at the field and said, I don't know who I can relate to here in terms of my values. This is not the problem this year, which is great. So I'm going to give it everything I got. And if it's not, what ends up happening for me, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

  3. The election in 2013? I know you'd be brought. And you know, literally. So I'm not going to listen to you now. You do what I say. I say it lovingly. I'm joking around Mayor de Blasio. Whatever you want.

  4. If I had been in this point in the election in 2013, I know you'd be brought. And you know, literally. If you said you should just get out, Bill, you're fifth in the polls. Why don't you get out? If I had listened to you, I wouldn't be mayor of New York City. So I'm not going to listen to you now. You do what I say. I say it lovingly. I'm joking around. I have a jam.

  5. I assume it was going to be this, Kara. I'm confused. It's not going to happen. I thought it was this interview. Why are you putting down your own show? Your show has that ability to mark a million Zuckerberg skin, but I cannot change it. No, I'm not going to talk about other people while I'm a candidate.

  6. And so, if you don't get the numbers you need, if all of a sudden something on social media doesn't pop, and in 72 hours you're deleting, I assume it was going to be this, Kara. I'm confused. It's not going to happen. I thought it was this interview. It ain't going to happen. Why are you putting down your own show? Your show has that ability. I can get under Zuckerberg's skin, but I cannot change it. Okay, you would definitely support whoever the Democratic nominee is, right? Assuming it's not you. Do you have a favorite?

  7. So, the assumption like, oh, New York can only be blue? No, no, no, no. It's more complex. But in this day and age, I am convinced it'll be a Democrat, but there's not even a sense yet of any dominant strain. It's way too far out.

  8. You're woke now. No. You're woke about Oh, not a clue. I think this is, I think it'll be a Democrat. I mean, I don't say that facetiously because no, wait, we had 20 years of Republicans before me. I am literally the first Democrat re-elected since the 1980s.

  9. And two, that everything else is here. So God bless the other cities, and I really love and respect them. But what I'll say here is, okay, talk about other fields, media, advertising, fashion, go down the list, finance. It's all here. A lot of it's based here are very, very concentrated here. Tech companies need to have access to all that. There is no other place in the country that provides that sort of one-stop shopping. So I think we are and will be for the long, long term, the second great tech hub in this country.

  10. But I don't think it's going to change for this reason that what happened here was one, a lot of folks who realize you could not just have a monolithic tech community of white males, you know, that this is the polar opposite where our tech community is more and more diverse all the time and actually reflects this country in this world. And I think that's going to always be a strength we have compared to a lot of places

  11. No, I wouldn't be shocked if it broadens out by definition because it's not like this small set thing. It's becoming ubiquitous. So of course there's going to be different centers, but I would argue just to help you with your facts that long since we have now consolidated as a international tech hub. I think the only competition in America at this point is San Francisco and the Valley. And I think that's not going to change. Well, no, I'm saying in the country. In the country, yeah.

  12. Huge tech. I think it's going to go elsewhere. I don't even think San Francisco. San Francisco is becoming an unlivable situation for a lot of people because of the prices. Let me put it a different way. Does it have to be New York Or San Francisco? Do you see? I was just in Indiana, Austin is probably, and Steve Kays and Mark Cube and others are talking about the idea that it's not a question of talent, it's a question of opportunity. Do you see that happening across the country? We'll always be San Francisco, New York. No.

  13. I know you are with financial tech. Oh my God, San Francisco is showing. It's not my San Francisco. No, come on. Google, Apple. They're all there. Fake news. It's fake news everywhere. Well, JP Morgan Chase has a huge tech element, for example, and obviously Google hasn't. I think it's going to go elsewhere.

  14. Do you think my final question? Do you think New York will become a tech sentor? It's been trying for a long time. Stop. We already are. I know you are with financial tech. Oh my God, you're San Francisco is showing. It's not my San Francisco. No, come on. Google, Apple. Fake news. It's fake news everywhere. What is the biggest tech company in your opinion here? Besides Wall Street, Goldman Sachs has tech, everyone has tech.

  15. Not air. I didn't even get to Airbnb. We haven't even had a semblance of the problem with any other tech company. And you've heard me today be critical thinking about the tech community, but no other tech company has even slightly Created the negative dynamics that Amazon did. They're all expanding here. They're going about their business. They're not asking for a lot. It's actually been quite coherent. And some of them I want to show balance. Some of them have actually been good neighbors and interested in helping New York City public schools and things like that.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  16. Oh, we tried to say, can we understand what the issue is here? But it was so total, there was nothing to be talked about. And look, in the end, there's a whole lot of hindsight in public life, right? It's really nice after the fact to say, oh, we could have done these bunch of things had we had that cognizance. But sometimes you gotta go with the basics. No one in their right mind would have ignored the opportunity, right? It would have had a really And we thought there was some semblance of coherence, particularly when they announced it with us. But if I had a perfect field of vision going into it, I would said, hey, these guys may act so differently than anyone we've ever dealt with that even a deal might not be a deal. And we should not accept a competition. We should do something more. Would you do that for it?

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  17. You know what? You could say, oh, you know, reputational impact. I just can't get lost in that. There was a competition again. Maybe stupidly we accepted the notion of a competition. We won the competition. And then they walked away Where am I supposed to feel bad about winning a competition?

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  18. These guys, they are not going to respect anyone and they're going to walk away and they can't take any pressure. I probably had one stupid assumption, which is if you formed one of the biggest companies in the world, you could handle some pushback. No, I'm saying I think you generally would say if you built something big, it came with some strife and some disagreement so we can deal with it. But know what we found with Amazon is no sense. I don't think anyone thought they had social conscience, so that was not an issue. They didn't. But no sense of even keeping to a deal, no standards, no rules. And I said that they confirmed everyone's worst assumptions about corporate America How

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  19. Not an insignificant issue, consistently showed a clear majority of New Yorkers believe the deal was good. They could count. They wanted a whole lot of jobs. A whole lot of young people wanted tech jobs, a whole lot of folks who were coming out of our city university system wanted that opportunity. Parents wanted for their kids. Where was it popular? Communities of color and working class people because they saw opportunity for themselves. Where was it unpopular with folks who had done better? God bless them, but they had done better and saw it as problematic. And obviously folks in the immediate area who were concerned about development. That's perfectly fair. But there was not actually a single day where this was a unwanted thing by most people in the city. And we had a deal and they announced it with us. And the changes and improvements we were talking about were absolutely reachable things. There was nothing that was so difficult for them to do. So the whole thing to me we should have consulted with you and you could have said,

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  20. You know, again, pressure in my job, don't overestimate pressure. When you run a city of 8.6 million people, as I say, 8.6 million highly opinionated people, you're going to have pressure all the time. No, we had a deal.

  21. It was a call from one of the senior folks who I had come to know, and it was like, hey, we've reconsidered and we're not going to be here. And I was like, excuse me, you know, what? Because I had had conversations with the same person a few days earlier.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  22. And we were trying to address those valid concerns, and we were pushing Amazon to address those valid concerns. And then, bang, we get a phone call and they're gone.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  23. Because the rules of the game are broken. Because, and I actually think what this dredges up is a need for a federal standard that inhibits companies from demanding subsidy. Any stage of localities because right now it says massive race to the bottom all over the country. I'm not going to tell you for a moment that we could ignore it, right? Hey, you know, that's screwed up so we're going to let 25,000 jobs go. No, that's not the real world. What I think we could have done in retrospect was say this process creates so many pitfalls that we're going to offer them an alternative process. And then we would find out bluntly how much they needed to be in New York. But even that doesn't get to the rub here, which is community residents raised valid concerns. I didn't agree with all of them, but they raised some valid concerns.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  24. So we're not going to do that. We're happy to negotiate, but we're not doing that. And I think everyone got caught up in the magnitude. Now, here's where we have to be real. If I said to you and you're running a town, you're running a state, and I said, I've got 25,000 to 40,000 jobs and billions of dollars of tax revenue, so you could do what you need to with schools or mass transit and all. No one is going to say, no, I'm not interested. It's just not possible. Why give me?

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  25. I'm not clear about that. I think there are ways to have a substantial number of jobs, but not 25,000 to 40,000. I think the mistake, and I'm very comfortable having had finally time to think about and re-examine, was to say, hey, the competition idea screwed up to begin with.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  26. But wait, why if they wanted they had to be in New York? Where are they? So clearly there was something else going on because they're gone.

  27. There were some other contestants, and having been to Iowa City, I'm going to say it's a lovely town, as my partner Professor Galley says, he wanted to come to New York. They wanted to come to New York. And so where to help him go? Why does New York have to pay for anyone to come here?

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  28. Here's where I'll start with the situation was ludicrous to begin with in retrospect. And what I would say is I would not say, hey, we confronted this vast corporation with a process and we screwed it up to begin with because we want it, obviously. On its face, we

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  29. Creating accountability in police community relations, that's not all bad. Or if it's something that helps us stop an act of terror of which there have been over two dozen attempts in New York City since 9-11, of course the lives saved, that's what we're here to do. But there must be limits. There must be checks and balances. It's not one thing or another thing. And I think we are finally having a little bit more mature conversation. I think the whole reexamination of the big tech companies, of the question of privacy, what happens to our democracy, who's really in charge here and where is it taking us? And then ultimately the automation question, what's going to happen to all those working people? These conversations are finally breaking out. I would argue the automation piece is way behind the other conversations. That's a good thing.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  30. I don't think it's one way. So, in a funny way, it's a perfect counterpoint to just like some technology got treated like it was just good, just perfect, you know, bow down before it, no unintended consequences, and yet there were massive unintended consequences. Surveillance, when it's something like a body camera.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  31. No, no. I'm saying, first, respect that there's a prosecution dynamic where there might be a criminal charge or something like that. That has to be worked through. So it's not immediately immediately, but within weeks, days, depending on the case Once you say, okay, a body camera brings inherent value Well, it is providing the officer's perspective because they're the public servant. They're charged with responsibility. So we're seeing what they're seeing. I don't quite know how we could perfectly engineer to see all angles where no one's claiming they know how to do that. But I think it's a massive improvement compared to where we were because it also affects thinking and behavior.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  32. Is part of everything in American life and government, and we have to weed out all of it. I mean, we're doing, we write this minute, we're doing implicit bias training for all our police officers. And we have to look at the fact that technology can contribute to racial bias, right? So I don't think we should be afraid of that. But meanwhile, the body can was per se. Are a tremendous positive example of what used to be not seen being seen. Because remember that what we've got now is we got a much better picture of what happened, and then we show it to the public.

  33. You said two different things, so real quick. I think on the question of facial recognition and potential racial bias, so potential racial bias.

  34. No, not per se. I believe in, and we've started this a very open public discourse on what it should look like for the future. Body cameras have been an amazing innovation. You could call that surveillance. I call that accountability and transparency.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  35. Negative attitude toward community has become a positive, respectful attitude toward community more and more. And the reason I say that is, so this is a place that is living out a whole host of progressive ideals in real time, in the real world against the backdrop of that diversity. And I'm proud of that. Now, have you say, okay, how much surveillance is the right amount? How much is the wrong amount? Let's have that conversation and come to that decision in the next couple of years, but don't ignore the fact that a lot had to be put together to protect all of that. Like that is being protected every single day

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  36. Yeah, but again, it is, I would argue, one of the freest places on the earth. It is the most diverse place on Earth, I think, by many accounts. There is more freedom of speech here, more respect for individuality, more respect for people's backgrounds and faiths and differences than almost anywhere on the earth. And we fundamentally have changed policing. Policing today in Europe. This is one fact we arrested 150,000 fewer people in 2018 than five years earlier and got safer. So the approach to policing is become much less aggressive in the sense of heavy arrests.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  37. We've actually been able to stop a number of attacks that could have had a devastating impact. We have to not throw out the things we're doing that are working until we figure out the ground rules. So we have, this is a good example of sort of physician HELO. We need to come up with clear ground rules. Now, we do have lots of legal checks and balances in how we use any of our technology in policing right here in the city. This is a progressive place. This is a place where these issues have been out in the open and there have been some really powerful balances struck. But it's a great question going forward. What else do we have to do? What should we do or not do? We're going to have that debate in the city and come to some...

  39. Yeah, it has to come here. I think California did a great thing there. So I'm not, I don't even want to have a competition. I'm like everyone go as fast as you can and learn from each other. We borrow things from California all the time and a lot of great, great innovations.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  40. Yeah, I mean, we did pre K for all. We did paid sick leaves. We did $15 minimum wage. We did fair scheduling for fast food workers. And that's just a beginning, right? I think the tendency in New York today, and I say this as a progressive, proud of what we're doing, but it's age old in New York, really. Go back to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Fiora LaGuardia. We've always put economics first. It's kind of New York in a nutshell, right? Including progressive economics, including, you know, you think about where things like 40-hour week work week and no child labor and labor unionization and a whole host of reforms emanated from New York over the years and that continues to this day, even in my administration. California has done amazing work on the environment. Climate change

  42. Immediately take off the child. That's a whole big problem there. President Obama talked about that. We're not here to make money necessarily. We're not here to be, you know, our goals are not the same as private companies. When they're talking about pushing for private companies, doing much. But speaking of that, you can change things. San Francisco, I'm not going to say San Francisco versus New York City. I live in San Francisco and I spend a lot of time here, so I love both places, but it's led on a lot. Taxes on plastic bags, suing the NRA, banning facial recognition, California privacy bill, California AB45 around gig workers. It would seem like between you and California, you could do a lot. What should you lead on

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  43. It's not such a look, you have economies of scale and you have a mandate that does not include a profit motive, which saves a whole lot of money and also allows you to make better decisions. Because I think another thing, another big, big conversation in this country is publicly traded companies are making horrendous decisions all the time. They're having horrible impacts on people. We should start to ask a bigger question. Why have we made our whole world about publicly traded companies, right? Government agencies run right, immediately negate, they immediately take off the tax. That's the whole big problem there.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  44. No, I think there's a place for them when they bring this certain expertise or to play a role or to accept certain contracts. But I'll tell you something. Public sector agencies with public sector You'd be shocked how well run

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  45. I think that's starting to speed up. And when you put in ferry service, and it's now become a big thing in New York, and it is very customer friendly, and it is based on learning the lessons and mistakes of the past. And even the MTA. Moving to an easier way for people to pay for their rides, even a big unwieldy agency like that got there. But I think what's encouraging is I see folks in government recognizing customer service, we've kind of sucked for a long time and we've kind of resisted some obvious ways to make it better. But that's different from the underlying impulse. Here in New York, our public hospitals and clinics used to have huge efficiency problems, budget problems. It's actually been turned around the last few years pretty strikingly.

    2019-09-16 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  46. No, anything profit making, beware right away what are the motivations, where is the accountability, where is the transparency. It's actually really good we have things in our society that are not about profit and can be made better for sure, but are about the people. And there's a lot of public sector activity that we got to make it a lot more efficient. Why

  47. His whole shtick, and it's basically the fox and Republican shtick, is government doesn't work. So, oh, wait a minute. No, the military works, but the rest of the government doesn't work. Well, then when you started firefighting works and policing works, well, then you turn on this bigot and there's water that the vast majority of the country actually works really, really well. And then we go on with example after example after example of government actually working. So to the folks who are press pushing the platonic ideal of, oh, let Uber and Lyft take over mass transit.
