“To sort of step up your game. I don't even know why I use the word critique on that note.

“I mean, honestly, I think Rubio is the greatest fraud of the world. And I've been saying this three years. Finally, that's being exposed because all his rhetoric belies the fact that he is more conservative than the rest of the lot. I mean, his view of the world, he walks in the future backwards in every respect. That said, Kasich is also a bit of a disguise.”

“This is Marco Rubio and me repeating myself. Cannot thrive in a world that's failing. And so businesses have a responsibility if nothing else to themselves to begin to address this issue. And that goes back to the beginning of our conversation. Tech has to take charge of this issue because we know the bias towards capital and we know that what's in the pipeline from a technological perspective, we ain't going to kill Joe. And with sensor technology and robotics and the combinatorial nature of technology, we don't have manufacturing. It's a legitimate concern. But we need empathy. We need reflection. We need to slow down as we're moving fast. And we need to reflect on our values.”

And issues associated with tech, and we need to bring people together and are committed to doing that as governor. But there was a great quote from Plutarch. This is what happens when you hang out. You give me a Plutarch clone. Okay, I'll take it. I'll take it. We're ready for it? Yes. I mean, this is a guy lived between 50 AD and 100 AD somewhere around here. That's a couple thousand years ago. Take my word for it. He was whatever you wanted to be, a philosopher, historian. He was, you know, all those Greeks seemed to be everything. Right. Okay. Got it. But he said something profound. He said the imbalance between the rich and the poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.”

“Into the system is astronomical. That is a small example of the vulnerability of records all across the system. That is a very real threat. People think about it from a terrorist perspective. I think about it from a different perspective. So that issue we have got to get ahead of, and a governor needs to lead in that respect. Privacy, some people say privacy is dead. We live in a fishbowl. Get over it. We never lived in a world where we were private until recently. So it's a new phenomenon and we should disabuse ourselves of it. All those things are difficult. I, of course, am the last person to talk about because I have nothing private about my life in the last 15, 20 years. It's been normalized.”

“Regulate them the So it's interesting. A lot of that lies with the Attorney General's office, the Department of Justice, and then, of course, federally it's regulated to the extent that a governor can influence that using the bully pulpit or help legislate that by working in partnership with legislature. It absolutely could do in that. But again, every time I get under the hood of these issues, I realize what I don't know, which is a profound amount. And I'm not even sure the tech companies that are some of the leaders in companies even understand know what they know as it relates to some of these. Some. I don't know. They just act them. They act them. Oh, fair point. And reinforcing my ignorance. Absolutely. Look, that's a concern, but I'll tell you, cyber issues are a much bigger concern for me in the immediate, and I'll give you an example. I'm on the UC regions. We had a breach of medical records at UCLA. The exposure, the liability to the taxpayers.”

“Yes, that's whatever the closest Really get funky Well, speaking of anxious, another issue is around government privacy in these companies that are ones you admire, Google, Facebook, and others. Same time, the enormous amount of information they have on people, the enormous amount of information the government has, the privacy issues. Where do you, are you the one that has to watch them? Yeah, I mean, we're supposed to.”

“Everything. And then you think about it from a land use perspective. I mean, you don't need what's the parking ratios as it relates to units. Do you do big suburban malls? People even going to own cars or it's just going to be like an old Western movie where you whistle and the horse runs up and you get whatever the closest car is based on GPS positioning on your app. So all these things are going to change everything. And so we know technology's changing the way we live, work, play, but the nature of change is changing. And this is what creates some anxiety for me. And the next governor, particularly in California, he's got to lead that debate nationwide. And I don't think we fully understand the combinatorial nature of technology. I don't think we understand what Andrew McAfee continues to write about this notion in the second half of the chessboard where things really get funky and Moore's law occurring in every aspect of our lives. It's a very anxious time.”
