| 0:04.5 | If you had a government that had its act together, they would already be distributing an AI |
| 0:09.0 | dividend. The easiest people to fire are the people you haven't hired yet. And our data is |
| 0:12.6 | getting sold and resold for hundreds of billions of dollars a year and no one's seeing it die. |
| 0:17.5 | This is Gavin Newsom. And this is Andrew Yang. |
| 0:24.1 | So much to talk about. |
