People don't want to make a leader, they want to be with a leader, and I probably was, I
don't know, maybe 20, $25 million short of what could have happened. I just didn't have
enough money. You know, the other interesting thing was I thought I was known, I had been
on television for ten years, I was in Congress, I was Governor, I went to New Hampshire, and
I had 2% name ID, I went to the south, I had even less than that, in order to get name
ID, I had to say crazy things, I decided I didn't want to do that, life is too short,
and remember now in the media, it's about eyeballs, and eyeballs, people get eyeballs,
if something dramatic happens, and no excuses, look, I had a great, great time, I learned
so much about the country, I learned a lot about myself, you know, it's just been great.
And also being Governor, you know, representing 11½ million people, we are the 7th largest
state, Stephanie, it sort of brings a perspective and a strength and just the ability to understand
that you can't just serve a few, you have to serve everybody. Everybody has to have
an opportunity to rise. I was very interested in what Eric had to say, and "We the People"
I hope is what we're going to focus on, because what we all can do is make sure people have
hope. I listen to all the dramatic changed and everything, we don't even like to be told
that we have to drive a different way to work, let alone all this stuff coming at us and
a chunk of the country is becoming nervous and we're beginning to see, as I'm sure you
noticed, is Silicon Valley our friend, are they here to help us or take my job or here
to disrupt? I think there are solutions, as he mentions,
with the technology and the people from the Valley, they're like coming to the rescue.
In other words, they can provide a lot of the technological solutions to give people
skills so people have value, people can make money, and people are hopeful and not living
saying I'm really in bad shape but I don't know how I'm going to get things fixed. It's
a big, big deal. Who is responsible for
solving it, though? When you look at the divide in this country, people want that to change,
they want a coming together, but what was funny, what many people learned in the last
year, your two daughters, they think of themselves as global citizens. People in this room think
of themselves that way. But somehow we learned in the last year a lot of people in this country
not only don't identify with that idea, they reject it.
Well, look, we're all in this together, and somehow, I mean, we can get
into the reasons why we're not treating each other right. Look, there are two great commandments,
let's get into this, I'll shock you now. I'm going to talk about God. I can see the thought
bubble, you know? God is not about divisions and judgment and condemnation. God is about
connection. Forgiveness. Grace. Respect of others. Love others. The two great commandments.
Love God. Why? Humility. I get attacked. I've learned to love attacks because it makes me
realize wait a minute, I'm not to great. It brings about humility. We all could use a
big dose of it particularly here because you're all so successful.
The second commandment is love your neighbor as you want your neighbor to love you. Think
about that, the profound meaning, and wait a minute, I'm going to treat you how? Because
I want you to treat me how? I believe, Stephanie, that if we can recover those basic values,
we can break down these walls and this division and this anger and this hatred between ourselves.
And we've kind of walked away from those values that our parents have told us, and I know
we're increasingly a secular society, but we've all got to think about that compass
point, because values cannot be subjective if they have to be objective and we have been
moving faster and faster into I'm right, you're wrong, I know, you don't, you go hiking up
here if they don't have the trails marked, you better have a compass, and we have to
restore a compass that is positive and connected and patient and forgiving, and then the other
part of it, because Stephanie asked me back stage, what's the role of business ‑‑
Wait, before we get to that, I believe everything you just said and
I believe everyone in this room does. But are we practicing it?
Why didn't America vote for that? Because that's not what we have.
Well, because there are a lot of people who looked at the system and
said it's working against me, I'm really angry, it's like going to a doctor, okay, you have
an illness, you go to a doctor, over and over and over again you don't feel better, so what
do you do? You go to some alternative medicine person, you know, because I've had it with
doctors, I've had it with all these medical specialists, they don't know what they're
doing. People were looking at politicians and said
I have kind of had it, my kid doesn't have a job, I lost my job, I'm 53 years old, I
have nowhere to go, my income is stuck, the rich are getting pitcher, people who are powerful
don't get a bit about me, so I don't want to hear your nonsense about what you've done
or what you say, I'm dumping the whole thing out.
And that's where we are? Yeah. The question is are
people now going to say, I kind of got to go back to the doctor, you know?
(laughter). I don't know. I mean, I don't know. That's
the real concern. (applause).
>> STEPHANIE RUHLE: But then is it not our job to hold people's hand and bring them back
to the doctor? The example I'm going to give, let's give a job example, the coal industry,
people in the coal industry are those exact people whose hearts and lives have been disrupted
and broken, and instead of having their hand held, saying you know what, let me retrain
you for a different industry, instead the message is I'm going to get you your job back,
even though economically, environmentally, none of those things.
>> GOV. KASICH: Look, it's an easy thing to say I'm just going to bring all these jobs
back, but I tell you, Stephanie, we say we're going to retrain them, our retraining doesn't
work in this country. Why?
Because the government programs are bogus, they really don't work.
You do you do know you're part of the government.
Yes. And I have argued to people, the thing about a Governor is somebody
that actual has to solve problems and give me the money from Washington, let me design
the program, I have guardrails, I shouldn't be spending them on some nonsense over here
to cover my political back side, but give it to me so I can begin to train, but I also
believe we the people, you've got to do this. You've got to provide the examples and the
role models as to how people in your company should behave and perform, when none of us
are looking for sanehood, but what is the decent set of rules, and secondly, our education
system is not geared to the customer. I mean, whether it's K‑12 or kids graduate, they're
not ready for college, whether they go to college, they graduate and they're not ready
for work. I mean, what are we doing? So he mentions Sebastian, didn't mention his name,
but he has a new way of learning. My daughter works at Pink, she's 17 years
old, she hates math, she didn't like it, she comes home with spreadsheets now explaining
to her mother about how to order stuff, her last math test was an A. See, what we need
to do is first of all determine what are the jobs of the future, what are we going to lose,
what are we going to gain, we're trying to do this in Ohio, what are we going to lose,
what are we going to gain, what do we do to prepare kids and tap into what they were born
to do? And it's up to all of us to do that. So what do I say? Many of you were involved
in school reform, you spent a lot of money school reform. Great.
You really want to know how to change it? Get in the school. Go to the superintendent,
the principal, the school board, and they won't like to see you, believe me, go in and
see them and tell them that you want to help them design the curriculum for K‑12, and
when you help design the curriculum, it just can't be for IT, everybody is not going to
be a software engineer, we need to design a curriculum that can serve everybody and
you can be involved in it by getting some of your colleagues. You want to impact kids?
Mentor them and help design a curriculum of the future and disrupt the current education
system. In the four‑year schools, accreditation,
I would tell you that the CEO of Google is not really interested so much in my degree,
the CEO of Google wants to know what is your skill? So we need to give people skills in
different ways. Sebastian has one way to do it, he had the move where people all over
the world were living, when kids get out of college, what document to be? These are the
jobs available. This is what they pay. What do you want to do? We need to treat them like
our children and our family, these institutions are so big, they need to change so that we
can customize, give skills and give people hope. If we don't do it, people are going
to lose their jobs, number one job in America is driving cars, in ten or eleven years how
many drivers are we going to need? So you have to figure out what do you do with them?
And you think we're divided now. Just wait until you have massive dislocation, unless
we answer the bell now. And it's up to we the people, not somebody else.
In order to do that, we the people or we the leaders need to have
long‑term vision and long‑term execution. And whether you're talking about the CEO of
a company whose door is being beaten down by shareholders, activist investors, Wall
Street analysts or elect officials who need to get reelected in a year.
Be a leader. I don't know if you know, but nobody is getting out of
this planet alive. (laughter).
And my goal is that when I die, at least 80% of what they say about me at the funeral will
be true. What are we clinging to? What are we clinging to? Look, we all cling. I cling.
We all cling. But you know what, if you don't have a board that understands the bigger picture
and the social consciousness, which fits, by the way, with making money, Michael Novak,
the great Catholic theologian said free enterprise that doesn't have a set of values is bankrupt.
I buy that. I think any CEO can convince their board,
if you can't convince your board that we have an obligation to be in the community, to mentor,
to develop curriculum, to change the way that people are taught, to give them skills, you
need a new board, because it's not just about making money, you know. Inherit the earth
and lose your soul? Baloney. That's the problem with politicians now, they're all hanging
on, they've got to be reelected, but it's not just politics. I see Ezekiel Elliot ran
for 231 yards, I don't know why he's even on the football field.
Now you're talking about values.
We are, that's what it's all about, it's about conscience, it's about I
need to live a life a little bigger than myself, and nobody is telling you that you go and
jump off of a building to do all this, but there are so many things that we can all do
to make for a little better world and I'll tell you what, your kids will remember that
and your grandkids will remember that more than the money ‑‑ well, maybe not, but
close. Okay? (laughter).
Maybe close. All the things we're talking
about, though, are about thoughtfulness. Where do you actually implement them? Because then,
I just go back to the last year, and when you think about thoughtfulness, you can talk
about the NFL. You bring up Ezekiel Elliot, in terms of the NFL and its kneeling issue,
it's not about whether you're a patriot or not, but those who want to have a thoughtful
response to t a thoughtful response required a ten‑minute sit down conversation, no one
wants to have a sit down ten‑minute conversation. Right now it's you're a patriot or not, you
build a wall or you don't. Susan Molinari and I served
together on the House Budget Committee and I remember we would have sessions, it was
very ideological and people on my committee would say we'll be here a few hours and shut
the Democrats up. I said, are you nuts? We're going to be here all night and we're going
to figure out what we're going to give them, because that's what leadership is. It's to
say, you know, we have to think about something bigger than ourselves. The NFL is about money.
Okay. I'm all in favor of money. I'm all in favor of free enterprise.
But, you know, putting these people, not just the NFL, but any of sports, people that behave
really poorly and continuing to honor them, that's not right. Our kids watch that stuff.
And look, I'm not looking for sanehood, we're all flawed, we all fall short of the righteousness
of the creator, but we can all do a little bit better, I can do a little bit better,
you know, on everything I do. As for me personally, you know, we're up almost
500,000 jobs since I became Governor, great, we have money in the bank, a couple billion
in the bank, back from like nowheresville and I made a decision it isn't good enough
just to be successful at that level, what about the mentally ill, drug addicted, people
that live in the shadows, that's why I expanded Medicaid. People want to criticize me for
it? Fine. Have fun. Because I am not going to turn my back on those people. Where does
that come from? Friends, values. Give everybody a chance to get up and move on and do well.
Race. The issue of race. I mean, that's a big darn
issue in this country. We formed a group of people who are community leaders, African
Americans, you know, we had a person that used to be on MSNBC who was the chairwoman
of our deal, as well as the head of public safety, we have a unanimous recommendation
on the use of deadly force, who you arrest, all the data, how you train, how you recruit,
get into these issues, and if people don't like t that's okay. Leaders have to be willing
to walk a lonely road. The CEO's here ask, how do you specifically
engage, take a school system that is next to you, get in there, send your employees
in for an hour a week for the next year, mentoring kids at all levels, telling them what they
can be, and secondly, get in there and begin to change the curriculum! What is the education
institution in America that's responding today? Community colleges. They move better than
anybody. The four‑year schools, they move at the speed of a glacier, and these schools
need to be customer‑focused, they shouldn't be focused on anything but serving the people
who are in those institutions. And you can drive it. You know why? Because they have
to listen to you because you give them their endowments. So it's up to us.
One last thing. Everybody is important, everybody matters, everybody can make a difference,
so if you just change the lives of five kids, one of them might be that cancer researcher.
Please go in and do this, huh? And keep spending your money on your reform, but you're going
to get a lot more out of it if you actually get in there and what you'll find when you
go into the public school, many of them aren't going to want you. You know what you tell
them? I'm coming. Sorry, I'm going to be here every day until you let me in. It's up to
you as to what happens with the people in this country.
When you talk about education, if there is the clearest way to address income
inequality, it's education. No question.
Specifically in our inner cities. But are we telling our kids the wrong
things? In terms of the American dream, that every child should go to a four‑year college.
When you think about trade schools, if you needed a plumber to come over to your house ‑‑
My plumber makes more than my lawyer, okay?
And you can't find a plumber under the age of 55, so something happened
in the last 40 years where we said our kids shouldn't be plumbers or carpenters, they
should all go to college and get communication degrees.
Maybe, Stephanie, it's coming the full way, because I'm not sure that paper
matters as much. It's the skills that matter now. You can do learning at your own speed.
I'll give you another thick. I just met a lady from ‑‑ another thing. I just met
a lady from Progressive Insurance, the insurance companies put online the curriculum to a lady
working at McDonald's whose husband ran out on her can at her own speed, competency speed,
pass the course, interview and get an entry level into the insurance industry. All the
industries are going to have to start putting this online, okay?
(applause). Think differently. So now I have the insurance
industry thinking about it, I want the healthcare industry, I'm looking at where are all the
baby boom baby boomers are going to leave and how do we replace those jobs, then there
should be complete transparency. You want to be a plumber? You're going on make $75,000
a year. Plumbing is pretty much ‑‑ it's always going to be here. No machine is going
to, no AI is going to take care of plumbing. (laughter).
The fact is what you need to do is tap into people's confidence. Give them experience.
Oh, by the way, if you bring these kids into your businesses and you let them see what
life is really like, they should get a full credit for graduation. We need to begin to
trust one another, that we are beginning to educate people in a different way. My kids'
principal says to me ‑‑ I took them down to see the Cleveland Calves, they got to see
Obama and Biden, I said can I take them, I called the principal, he said never let education
get in the way of learning. My daughter Emma loves basketball, and I said we may not get
to see the Calves because when Lebron left Cleveland, I said a couple things, I said
you'll get to meet the president, and she said daddy, I already met the president. I
want to meet Lebron. The king trumps the president.
Well, what can I tell you? What you're asking for
in terms of bipartisanship is for people to open their minds and hearts, you're asking
for pragmatism, you're actually doing that in healthcare, you're working with the Governor
in Colorado, we're seeing problem solvers caucus, we're saying no labels, yet that gets
held up because of ideas like we promised repeal and replace, if we don't deliver that,
we won't get reelected. Does America care what the name is of what they're getting,
or do they just wanted the best education, or the best healthcare program?
Of course they do. Look, the politicians are in a debate now about politics,
not about policy. So the Democrats on one hand, and by the way, if you want to criticize
Republicans, I can't even find the Democrats, they're like nomads wandering in a desert
trying to figure out what they're for. When we were able to stop these Republican healthcare
bills, we wanted flexibility for the states within guardrails, Democrats ran for the hills
and hid, because it was politics. Anytime you talk about undoing any piece of ObamaCare
even if it makes sense, they're afraid they're going to be attacked from the left.
On the right if the you're Republican, you have to worry about every primary coming your
way because the districts are not competitive. Just ask Marty about this. A number of us
have signed onto a gerrymandering reform, friend of the court, before the Supreme Court,
very critical decision, all these things, money and politics, gerrymanderring, but what
really matters? What's in your hearts. Why did you go into politics? To change the world
or to just get reelected? Did you go into business? Sergey and Larry didn't go into
this sufficient because they wanted a big airplane, they got into it because they wanted
to change the world and then you had Google that grew out of it, you know, when you are
searching for the things that motivate you as a human being, it is amazing the kind of
really productive things that can happen to you, and so what I would say to you that the
politics is broken, but much of what we see is broken.
Wells Fargo, how is that looking? Equifax, how is that going? Harvey Weinstein, how is
that going? We look around and we have a crisis. But how do we fix it? You and me with our
friends, our colleagues, our business people, one person at a time. Patience. You know,
kindness. Okay. But whether we're
talking about Equifax or the financial crisis, the CEO of Equifax is going to get to retire
with millions of dollars ‑‑ Unbelievable.
and we'll forget his name. And when the financial crisis happened,
people who were scalped in the whole subprime scandal lost their homes, many of them still
don't have their homes Mack, but banks recovered. The people who suffer are the forgotten Americans
who stood up and voted for change but they're not going to get change, so they're suffering
now more than ever. You know, all I can do is
what I can do. I mean, I'm honored to be here at this event. I mean, with all of you. I'm
not kidding you. I'm like, how do I ever tell anybody at home back in Columbus what this
Google thing was like? But I'm here, I'm on television, and I have a voice, but more important
than what I say is what I do, and I know I'm going to be screwing up somewhere here.
My greatest fear is being hoisted on my own self‑righteous patard, but I'm trying to
be a voice that says it doesn't have to be that way. I mean, we can all have win‑win
situations. I was with Biden the other day, at the University of Delaware, he and I had
a big talk, he's a blue collar kid, my dad was a mailman, I'm a blue collar kid, I said
the other day, when it comes to the way we feel about America, there's not a dime's worth
of difference. He's like, you can't say stuff like that. Why not?
We can argue over the specific issues, but if we are dedicated to solving problems in
public life, I don't know why the hell you would be in it otherwise, there's no money
in it, maybe free ticket or something, I don't know, but when you're in it, you need to solve
problems. I'm kind of being repetitive here, so I need to just shut up.
No. (laughter).
That's what Susan used to tell me. Could you just shut up, John?
(laughter). When you go back to Ohio,
though, and you talk about spending a few days with Google, why don't people know how
extraordinary Google is, when you listen to Eric and all the ‑‑
Look, look, we've got Amazon Cloud computing now and our two‑year schools
are now working with Amazon to do that, to be able to train people for cloud computing,
we've got IBM data analytics, you know, we just have a big investment from Facebook,
this is an advertising that we need something from Google.
(laughter). (applause).
But in our state, let me tell you, it's so exciting, because what I want to do in the
state in Ohio, in the Midwest, something that a lot of people don't get, people who get
there first are going to realize they have a first mover advantage. We're doing data
analytics, we learned so much out of the Cleveland clinic, there isn't a better institution on
the face of the earth, they commercialize so many products because of the work they
do, the brilliance they have, we're involved in data analytics in terms of trying to figure
out how women can have healthier babies, what leads to that, what can we glean, we're changing
all those things, we're using AI, artificial intelligence to a degree to deal with people
who have disabilities. We are involved in major efforts in fiber.
We're going to have autonomous vehicles, semi‑autonomous vehicles coming in three or four roads in
our state, it is changing, the face of Ohio is going from heavy industry, and we're not
against it, we want advanced manufacturing, to we're now it's healthcare, logistics, IT,
it's all these things, and I'm trying to get people in our state to understand that you
have to push just like Eric was talking about the future, that's why I love Sebastian, we
need to aim to the future, break down the barriers that keep it from aiming toward the
future. The word "disruption," I said to Sebastian,
I hate that word, we all hate that word, but the Valley and technology can in many ways
be the key to dealing with the problem of disruption and giving people hope because
you have solutions that can help them to get skills to be more valuable to have more say
as an individual. How did you get the state
of Ohio to embrace that? Because a lot of the things that you speak about are scary.
Yeah. You know, Putin just a
couple weeks ago said whoever owns artificial intelligence is going to control the world.
You don't hear our current administration ever talk about things like artificial intelligence.
Look, I turned that channel a long time ago.
But if we are really in a pro‑business environment, the businesses
that our government should embrace are businesses like Google and Amazon because on the other
side of the world it's Tensin and Ali Baba that are going to rule the world.
I asked my folks to ask a bunch of CEO's to talk about the jobs of the
future, what's going to be gained, what are we going to do, it's months before they decided
they could have a meeting. Why?
I don't know. I don't know why business is not ‑‑ now Google is
going to spend a billion dollars, we heard Philipp say it. Can't just be IT, by the way,
but that's okay, if you can get some partners, that would be fine. Why aren't people doing
that? Amazon is doing some of it. But where are the rest of the companies? I mean, why
are they not ‑‑ is it because they're buried in quarterly profits? They're worried
about their board? Because it's who their
stakeholders are. No, no.
The company looks at their stakeholders and says my stakeholders are
my shareholders, my employees and my customers. Okay, then I'm a politician
and my stakeholders are the Republican Party and that's all I should pay attention to?
Baloney. You have a bigger mission in life than just running that company, and what's
the slogan for Google? Do good. And so it's to get ourselves out of our own way. Live
life a little bigger than ourselves. We can all do it. And you don't have to ‑‑ you
know, break a little china here and there. I don't think just the shareholders and the
board, I mean, come on. Great companies don't ‑‑ they don't sweat all that stuff. If you take
Amazon, for example, you know, I think one of the reasons they've been successful is
because, you know, they don't care if they fail at certain things. The same is true with
Google. They go out, they take risks, they believe in something bigger than where the
company is today. And that is just what it's all about.
But what you're asking for are these companies to take their do‑gooding
out of their corporate social responsibility department to, take it out of their philanthropy
department and put their revenue generating lines to do good.
I don't think you have to do that, down in Cincinnati where graduation
rate of 63%, one of the insurance companies sends their employees to a part of the school
district with a 63% graduation rate, mentor these kids, show them their cars, they dress
nice and they tell them about the future, and they get them excited and the graduation
rate is like 97%. It didn't cost the company that much. It's just employing your people
to bring about change. And how did the people
of Ohio vote in the last election? Well, I want them in the primary ‑‑
well, I whomped them in the primary and he won Ohio because there was a big brand of
people that decided they got to start all over and they live in places like Youngstown,
into areas that are hard hit and the question is what do we do to give people hope, the
coal mining jobs aren't coming back, but what in fact can you do, what is it you want to
do? It is amazing how many unfilled jobs there are out there that pay a good salary that
no one wants. Why does no one know this stuff? That's our next endeavor, how do we actually
get people to understand there's a job for you, get to the community college, we'll use
some of the job training programs, we'll do whatever it takes to get you a job, because
when people work, they have hope, when they don't have a job, they're not in a position
of where they feel like they matter. And when that happens, bad things happen, and conversely,
when they feel as though they've got something, God, life is good. That's what we want.
Then before we go, because I know we're out of time, though, what do
we do for them? Because those forgotten Americans looked at the last 8 years and they said President
Obama visited 50 countries but he didn't visit 50 states, and someone came to see them and
all their cities and they said I'm going on care about you, and that's the person who
is currently sitting in the White House. If those forgotten Americans end up worse off,
which if things pass, there's a good chance they are.
Yeah. And we're only going to
get more divided and people are only going to get angrier. Before that happens, what
can people in this room do? I'm not waiting. There is
no ‑‑ there is no wizard behind the curtain, this is no man or woman behind the curtain.
It's what I do. Washington is becoming so less relevant. Just give me my money back
and my power, with guardrails, okay? And then let me go and do it and let me get ‑‑
America works best from the bottom up. Everything works better from the bottom up, not the top
down. So for me and my state, it's all about hope.
If you have a problem with race, we're going to address it. If you have a problem with
mental illness, we're going to try to help you. If you are a small business trying to
make t we're going to try to help you, we're going to create an environment for you to
be successful. It's what I'm doing, and the mayors and the people I meet with, not in
Washington, come on, Washington, I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting for ‑‑ we've been waiting
for good doe and guess what, he ain't coming. I appreciate you all listening, what a great
privilege and pleasure to be here with all of you. Thank you.
