Aaron GoukianSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think that she's a flight risk.
Aaron GoukianSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think she's just like Gina Raimondo.
Aaron GoukianSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think she's going to go.
Aaron GoukianSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All she wants to do is go to Washington, and then she's going to let this guy
John EllisGUEST
Well, I mean, you know, if you and I go back to 2023, let's say January of 2023, The Biden administration was working with the Valley on any number of issues, some of them antitrust, which the Valley was not too excited about.
John EllisGUEST
And Gina Raimondo and various others were sort of building a dialogue or whatever you call it.
John EllisGUEST
And that seemed to persist until about January of 2024.
John EllisGUEST
And then I think what happened is that Silicon Valley woke up to the fact that Trump was going to win.
Christopher BouleyHOST
I'm sorry.
Christopher BouleyHOST
On a smaller note, um, Amy mentioned to me that Costco was coming to Rhode Island and she's on the board of directors as I think Gina Raimondo is.
Christopher BouleyHOST
So, so if you want to take that as a little microcosm of the potential view, then I'm hoping like how she is going to be our next governor.
Christopher BouleyHOST
I'm hoping like how that she's just left for the sake of getting elected.
Christopher BouleyHOST
And then I mentioned this before.
Christopher BouleyHOST
She's in the same category.
Christopher BouleyHOST
Gina Raimondo probably at a higher level because Gina, a very smart lady, Rhodes Scholar, she was part of the – group at Point Judith Capital.
Christopher BouleyHOST
So she had credibility, but Helena Folks probably has higher credibility in terms of the visibility.
Michael BoyceGUEST
Maryland became one of the four founding partners of the Raise Us initiative, a nonpartisan national effort to bring workforce strategies for an AI economy.
Michael BoyceGUEST
Raise Us was co-founded by a former Democratic Commerce Secretary, Gina Raimondo, and also a former Republican governor of Indiana, Eric Holcomb.
Michael BoyceGUEST
And then this summer, Governor Moore became chair of the National Governors Association.
Michael BoyceGUEST
So, you know, this is like the big bipartisan group of all the governors and our governor is the chair.
John DePetroHOST
Much farther left.
John DePetroHOST
And as I say that, I think Gina Raimondo was even a little more practical than Helena Folks.
John DePetroHOST
I thought Helena Folks, that was very surprising to hear just how far left her views are.
John DePetroHOST
And The lighting outside of Crossroads, and she was on the board for that, 700,000 on strobe lighting, and she doesn't think that's a big deal.
John DePetroHOST
I just think of...
John DePetroHOST
You know, Gina Raimondo, when she was pitching, go back to GE, one of the things she said was that none of them, they wouldn't even encourage them to go to the Providence schools.
John DePetroHOST
Dan McGowan, how should I push back against, I mean, I hear from people that say that this president of the school board is really nothing more than a pawn for the unions and they're declaring war on the superintendent, they're declaring war on the education commissioner.
John DePetroHOST
Does that, in fact, kind of link in with how his actions have been?
Reid HoffmanHOST
One structural reason is that the people who tend to go into government are not the people who, you only learn this from being in industry, and very, very few people shift from industry, and not just from economic basis.
Reid HoffmanHOST
It's just like, hey, I'm leading a successful career, starting companies you know investing in things etc and then there's like to do that is very very hard to get and there's a lot of antibodies and so there tends to be a kind of go go into it so that's one another one is most people who can lead in government tend to be older and older tends to be by definition you know almost way out of date technically not on the cutting edge And even when you get smart people like Mark Warner or Gina Raimondo and so forth, they have to bring in other folks to consult on that.
Reid HoffmanHOST
So that's the reason why I tend to think it's how do you assemble the essentially working groups.
Reid HoffmanHOST
How do you have NGO groups? How do you have councils of advisors? How do you have, for example, it's part of the reason why the Presidential Council on Science and Technology is so important.
John DePetroHOST
And on top of that, you have a governor that lives in the city.
John DePetroHOST
And I just think of You know, Gina Raimondo, when she was pitching, go back to GE, one of the things she said was that none of them, they wouldn't even encourage them to go to the Providence schools.
John DePetroHOST
Dan McGowan, how should I push back against, I mean, I hear from people that say that this president of the school board is really nothing more than a pawn for the unions and they're declaring war on the superintendent, they're declaring war on the education commissioner.
John DePetroHOST
Does that, in fact, kind of link in with how his actions have been?
Harry HolzerGUEST
So I look to the states.
Harry HolzerGUEST
There's another organization, Gina Raimondo, who is the former Secretary of Commerce, has started a nonprofit called Raise Us, where she's trying to experiment with and evaluate, support evaluations of a lot of sort of state-level training programs, including the ones that are going to try to respond rapidly to AI deployment, AI self-improvement.
Harry HolzerGUEST
And I think that's an important effort as well.
Harry HolzerGUEST
So I'm really pleased to see these, you know, nonprofits stepping up, trying to help the states and help the institutions do this as best as they can.
John DePetroHOST
She's the second highest office holder.
John DePetroHOST
When Gina Raimondo, when Governor Raimondo left, McKee became the governor.
John DePetroHOST
It is, you know, like when I deal with so many of these people, I don't agree with them.
John DePetroHOST
I don't necessarily like them, but I respect the office.
