kabir: unicorns -- the way we started investing in v-capital, the number of unicorns in south asia wasa small number and that time. it's gone globally, 80% were in the u.s. we have seen that shift dramatically in the last few years, we now have about 950. unicorns globally 25 of them in southeast asia. that's a strong start. i expect another ten over the next few years from south korea. that is a good sign, more holistic. as we scale, it will become even larger. in markets -- we have 100 companies, about 25 unicorns in asia. we've seen that which is about how you scale up. think about ways -- [indiscernible] haslinda: the founding general partner at b capital group. if you are bloomberg subscriber you can check all our interviews by using our interactive function. tv go. and join the conversation by sending -- instant messages to our team during a live show. this is bloomberg. ♪ haslinda: you are watching bloomberg markets: asia. let's do a quick check of the latest business flash headlines. wages will be raised above government guidelines for the company and across japan due to an ong

quote, they are really looking for a unicorn.t, but not too hard. that's just it. finding a republican that's days who doesn't thrive on fighting and conspiracy theories and trumpian lunacy would be a unicorn. we need to be honest. this story is a microcosm of what is happening in america as a whole. 71% of republicans don't believe president biden was rightfully elected to the white house. more than two-thirds of republicans are not worried about climate change. when that is the current gop base you are trying to curry favor with, it is understandable you cannot find someone to participate on top issues of the day on daytime television. it is long past time that we have to accept we don't have normal political parties or movements in the country in 2022. one is no longer committed to democracy or reality. joining me now is rena shaw. the former staffer and adviser at the new initiative. happy new year. is there, in your view, a politician or pundit in america today, who has the credibility and popularity with the gop base, but i

there is a clip in the film where i call my parents unicorns. believe me, they were.ere not unique. there were black unicorn parents all over america who were making their way through the landmines and the roadblocks to give their kids the opportunity to have a better future than they had. so i think the thing that i connected to hear is the fact of the importance of our history. because erasing our history means erasing all of those things that literally are some of the root causes of why america looks like it does today. amy: emily kunstler, you and your sister sarah have long worked on films that deal with racial justice. i was with you on a panel to do with the central park five, a case that your father was deeply involved with. talk about what jeffery robinson come his speech in the way you have framed it. you have done something very unusual. for people listening on the radio, they will hear him speaking. for people watching, they will see the images of the times he's referring to but you also include so many clips of the historic moments throughout time that he

the last time this unicorn made an appearance was on christmas day in 2020 and one grateful neighborneighbor. got to love the character's corny sense of humor.

when i say i am a unicorn among unicorns, it is extremely real. challenging life to get here, but having the opportunities that have been given, this is why i am here today. what i've realized that has gotten me here today is the ability to see choices and to be given the opportunity to rise up, whether in finance or fintech. it has been an exciting ride to build to where it is today. rishaad: you bring a different perspective. how often does that perspective inform the male dominated industry of what women want ultimately? isn't that something you have to factor in? tessa: i think it is definitely so. when it comes to women in tech, what i've seen especially in southeast asia is that that's not even a choice to be in the technical sector, to be in finance or tech. 50% of our workforce or 40% of oru workforce -- our workforce are female. we need that fema perspective in order to be able to get to the next stage of the economy. you can't exclude 50% of the workforce and be able to grow, so i think having more female in the tech workforce is extreme

a unicorn in the republican party. look at the congressional races on the house and senate side. not trying to keep donald trump at arms length glenn youngkin kind of did in this race. rushing to embrace him to one up each other. you see other congressional republicans like glenn youngkin, people like john chacko and others in the house choosing not to run again. i think that glenn duncan did a really impressive thing in his victory in virginia. he was a republican who spoke to the base, but cap trump at arms length. i'm not sure republicans can or want to replicate that anywhere else in these midterm cases. >> one place they don't want to replicate it is the state of arizona. cary lake is a candidate for governor there. there is a good chance according to folks that are familiar with arizona politics that she could win. yesterday she figured very prominently in president trump's address in arizona. listen here. >> she is incredible. >> we love you. we are so thankful you are here in arizona. when i am elected, we will finish your big beautiful wall.

they went on a search for unicorns when they should have stuck to mundane explanations of people say things like, well the u. s. government's been experimenting with microwaves for years. that may be true, but the u. s. government also experimented for 20 years, trying to develop psychic soldiers doing remote viewing. and how did that work out? it didn't work out very well just because they're experimenting with it. doesn't mean it's true because there's something called the laws of physics. and the other thing i'd like to point out here is that this shifted from cuba to other parts of the world later on, because the state department and the department of defense issued alerts around the world to be on the lookout for anomalous health incidence. and then people all over the world started reporting anomalous health incidence because people have unusual health incidence all the time. and just because they have helped them. so that doesn't mean it's mass psychogenic illness. a number of these cases are people simply waking up in the morning having a headache or feeling unusual and attri
