Thanks for bringing in Steve Ballmer. I appreciate the candor and thoughtfulness that he brought to this interview. He's a great asset to our country and I'm thrilled with how he's putting together USAFacts. Great interview and use of my time. Thanks for posting.
He did a shorter but similar interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the more I see Ballmer, I wish he would run for president. I agree, Democracy and Capitalism as equally important pillars of America would be the best way to progress.
Good point. Notice how you propose a correlation between the tax cuts and the wealthy as though arithmetic were functional--not statistical. The "data" of this discussion, similarly, is literally something "given" (in Latin) which is supposed to arrive at something "probable" where nothing is the only idea that's "certain" for the computer's memory. Second, the problem calculating that number of years will not divide the size of the tax cut (known per year) by the advantage to the wealthy (assumed as known rather than projected as a multiple of the first variable) as an intelligent answer. Now generate the answer artificially, and you end up with the same specious data. It also translates into tax policy for the media, as we discovered in 2017, when the working class was bribed by a premium in this year's withholding to sell the break for capital gains that is still causing "shutdown" crises years after--oops!--the tax cuts produced stock buy-backs among the closely-held and the hedge-funds, to further limit the holders of all that capital, not the new jobs that pushed the package for Trump's Art of the Deal as it passed Congress around Midnight, hours after the Bill was actually given to Congress. That's the kind of Democracy we're defending in Ukraine, similarly, That's the "algorithm" (16:00) at work here that no longer has anything to do with the definition, implying the numbers between 0 and 1, not the difference (or "derivative" depending on your power or your securities) between any 2 distinct ideas.
His company would never mention that. Remember, Kiss the Trump ring, shut up, and get to work. He is saying that X-Twtter is where all his facts come from.
@@karinschultz5409 I agree we should tax all the wealthy but does that include MSNBC parent company universal which currently worth more then $200+bilion in asset? 🤔
Wow. I’ve followed Balmer since he took over Microsoft and have never liked him. Disliked him when he took over the Clippers and how he’s dealt with players. I can honestly say this is the first time I’m impressed at what Balmer is doing. I thank his wife for getting him on this new path.
Great to see someone who bring us the truth. Now when the people on stations or channels make up lies, I want to hear that loud buzzer and the big X stamped across the screen with the word "False" or 'Lie' so we can be informed and still have fun, rv
One of the best interviews I’ve ever watched you do, Ari Melber. And it appeared that Mr. Ballmer enjoyed being interviewed by you as you enjoyed doing it. It was clear how well prepared you were.
Steve Ballmer is a great American... as Colin Powell stated, don't take counsel of your fears or naysayers. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier... Keep up the excellent hard work sir, us in the trenches need to hear the facts said by people like you.
Awesome Nerd Interview Ari!! Loved this interview every second of it. Impressive new horizons in facts driven information. No bend, no slant just these are the facts, this is how you compare them now you take them in and let them inform you're thinking. And choices .
@@zipzip5807 no MSNBC is the greatest in the world they give nothing but truthful facts as a matter of fact I live my life according to what they tell me to think
I appreciate very much Ballmer's factual presentation of inflation, wage income, global warming, and deficit finances. I have recently read that 6 of 7 environmental processes vital for human survival have been seriously compromised. I also have read that companies including Microsoft have contributed 116 million dollars to members of Congress who undermined our democracy by voting to de-certify in 2020. Given that a majority of the public want real action on global warming I find corporate policies which support global warming denialists troubling.
I would love if Ballmer would also assemble a book with beautiful factual graphics outlining all of these things (and more) that he covers in his video series.
Unfortunately the bulk of voters don't "work" that way. When you and I get excited about tables, graphs and data, most don't have "the willingness" to walk through the data, therefore politicians know that and take full advantage of that, otherwise trump would have at the most a million supporters
He mentioned MEDIAN incomes.... this does not mean it applies to all people or all jobs .... it does not help understanding if you renterpret what he says, the detail is important. It's a very complicated topic, as he said. And yes, it is clear that there are many people who do get left behind.
Great interview, informative. Some of his descriptives in his answers are similar to Harris' campaign... democracy, opportunity as in small business start-ups vs his word capitalism, his big picture compared to her use of vision... seizing the moment, and working hard... she's always talking about that. Interesting. Like his program, seems like any easy to understand data interpretation model. Thanks for that interview.
I agree with Steve Ballmer that hard work and the other ingredients of success he mentioned are real. But beyond this is the relevance of spiritual freedom. He might not have been conscious of this because he didn't seem to have any spiritual problems. There are many people who are working hard but just getting by. My point is that spiritual freedom is key to having a sense of direction in life. This is the line of thought in WHAT THE JEWS KNOW by Bode Jackson which I agree with.
Why can’t an intelligent guy like Steve run for President, a real business man, billionaire that uses facts that we can all understand and doesn’t lie. And he is likable, normal, real. I guess he’s having too much fun owning the Clippers 😊
Are you kidding? After the way people criticized & made fun of him for showing passion? I remember cause I was & still am one of the "developers developers developers"
Love you Ari, I think this was a good interview, but I think you missed one important question. If he is paying the bills for this organization, what will keep it accountable and maintain objectivity?
It's so incredible that LUCK is not taken as a significant factor in business. Yes, you can say that you create your own luck, but part of that is recognizing when part of luck is timing.
Look, we think just because we have facts and we are saying is true, we feel all we need to do is show facts, walk through the details and the other side will be convinced and satisfied. What if someone has no regard to facts and sees things as "the other side is trying to deceive you", no facts or arguments would convince them differently. The issue is, what would you do ? Walk away? Give up? Use sneaky tactics?
Hard to believe that anyone with his background could believe that looking only at the follower column on X means that the results he sees are independent of an algorithm.

The way and rate by which politics footballified the American psyche is dizzying. It has become so tribal that many Americans are not even thinking about policies that will impact their lives favourably. No matter how many times experts use statistics to explain progress, the bottom line remains racism and intolerance of others. As a foreign transplant in this country, it is shocking to see what the country has become. Once upon a time, ANY American would open their home to foreigners without query whatsoever. But that changed when the government started investing more in immigration while neglecting its citizens under the hospices of its so-called humanitarian responsibilities. I understand those drawn to Trump despite his fantastical lies and moral deficiencies because he acted as if he took them seriously, while Biden has more in common with many of them.
Facts Are Important, I often want to support NGO'S for the good work they claim to do and Do Make Impact for Better. Then I take a look at the Org's CEO INCOME. I have very little myself, would appreciate more support beyond $68 a month for food. So when I can I give to an individual who needs more than me, who's standing in front of me.

Great interview. And very, very informative. Thank you gentlemen!
I have had a positive view of Ballmer for quite a while. He is the real thing!
Good interview IMO thanks for bringing decent content.
Agreed .. very interesting. Will have to check out USAFacts.
So what are the economic stats after Trumpf's tax cut to the wealthy? And how many years will it take to pay off the debt he accumulated?
Love what you asked. His facts so to speak are analytical and most people don’t think that way.
Good point. Notice how you propose a correlation between the tax cuts and the wealthy as though arithmetic were functional--not statistical. The "data" of this discussion, similarly, is literally something "given" (in Latin) which is supposed to arrive at something "probable" where nothing is the only idea that's "certain" for the computer's memory.
Second, the problem calculating that number of years will not divide the size of the tax cut (known per year) by the advantage to the wealthy (assumed as known rather than projected as a multiple of the first variable) as an intelligent answer. Now generate the answer artificially, and you end up with the same specious data.

Well done, great interview, good information and facts.
Dang Ari that was a Fantastic interview! ❤ Steve Ballmer is putting the facts together and making it available that’s incredible news. 🎉
Great interview by Ari 🎉
Facts, figures and tables work for me. I use my own intelligence and initiative to decide and make judgment, never mind opinions expressed by others.
Could you imagine leading your life based on the information that is propagated on this channel? No wonder there is so much mental illness.
Unfortunately the bulk of voters don't "work" that way. When you and I get excited about tables, graphs and data, most don't have "the willingness" to walk through the data, therefore politicians know that and take full advantage of that, otherwise trump would have at the most a million supporters
This was a really great interview. Didn't even know about what Ballmer was doing nowadays. Hat off to him!
I am recommending Steve Ballmer's "fact" sites to all of my friends. We love data!
Great video, Ari! Refreshing ideas and fun to watch!
Steve Balmer is so freaking smart!!
Brilliant interview Ari!
Steve Ballmer. Huge fan!
Facts new viral word.
Facts are truths.

Solution to that is simple , end the Trump tax cuts for the rich
Great interview.
Thank you Mr Balmer I hope to meet you some day. You are important but just a regular guy. Enjoy the games this week.
I almost didn't recognizing without him jumping around and having extra swag!
Developers.. Developers, developers, developers developers
Developers, developers, developers developers. Developers, developers, developers developers. Developers, developers, developers developers. Developers, developers, developers developers.

(Jokes aside, this is a great conversation)
I like facts. I don't need opinions. Tell me the truth and I'll form my own opinion.
This is why I listen to NPR and PBS.
Wages are not nearly up to the cost of living. It doesn't just FEEL THAT WAY.

It ain't "fair & balanced" if facts aren't a public service. We have alerts for public emergencies, why not have alerts for facts?

I mean voting is the only way for the people to have a margin of controls . The media money machine can’t be controlled 11:53
Facts are objective. No one gets to define what is factual and what is not. It simply is or isn't.
Its noticeable how quickly Ari wanted to move on when Steve Ballmer started praising X.
Because education should never be a for profit venture!
