SHUTDOWN BEGAN.
>>> BIG TECH NEWS FOR YOU.
FACEBOOK COULD FACE A
RECORD-SETTING FINE FROM THE FTC
FOR ITS PRIVACY VIOLATIONS.
WANT TO BRING IN VIVEK WADHWA,
HARVARD LAW SCHOOL DISTINGUISHED
FELLOW.
FACEBOOK IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
FOR A LONG TIME.
>> CHARLES, I HAVE AN IDEA I
WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU.
FINE THEM $5.6 BILLION.
LET MARK ZUCKERBERG PAY FOR THE
WALL?
IT WOULD BE WORTHY AND NO ONE
REALLY LIKES FACEBOOK NOW FOR
WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING, WHAT
DO YOU THINK?
CHARLES: SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD
DEAL.
WHITE HOUSE WOULD TAKE THAT ONE.
AS LONG AS YOU GET JEFF BEZOS TO
PUT SKIN IN THE GAME, WINK-WINK
ON THAT ONE.
NO ONE LIKES THEM.
LIKABILITY HAS FALLEN.
BUSINESS HAS FALLEN.
INSTAGRAM HAS SAVED THEM,
ALTHOUGH THE STOCK PRICE UP 20%
THIS YEAR, TAKEN IT ON THE CHIN,
SHOWN MORE VULNERABILITY THAN IT
HAS IN A LONG TIME.
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THEM TO
SORT OF TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY?
>> ONLY THING IT WILL TAKE IS A
MULTIBILLION DOLLAR FINE.
ZUCKERBERG IS OBSESSED WITH
MINING OUR INFORMATION AND
MAKING MONEY OFF US.
THAT IS ALL HE THINKS B HE KEEPS
LYING TO CONGRESS, LYING TO THE
PUBLIC, I WILL DO BETTER NEXT
TIME, I WILL DO BETTER NEXT
TIME.
HE HAS BEEN DOING THAT THE LAST
10 YEARS AND WE LET HIM GET AWAY
WITH IT.
IF WE MADE A 5 BILLION-DOLLAR
FINE, SUDDENLY A WAKE-UP CALL
FOR FACEBOOK AND GET THEM TO
BEHAVIOR SERIOUSLY.
ALSO TO SOLVE THE IMPASSE
BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS.
I WASN'T KIDDING.
THIS IS PEANUTS.
STILL CHUMP CHANGE FOR FACEBOOK.
IT HAS, LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY
IN RESERVE.
THEY CAN EASILY COME UP WITH
KIND OF MONEY TO PAY THE FINE.
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED.
CHARLES: HOPE SOMEONE FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE IS WATCHING.
WRITE IT DOWN AND TAKE THIS AND
RUN WITH IT.
MEANTIME THERE IS ANOTHER BOOK
COMING OUT, I THINK CALLED "ZU
"ZUUCKED," HIS NAME BEING
ASSOCIATED WITH MISDEEDS.
IN ANY CHANCE THAT PUBLIC
OPINION CAN CURB THEIR SORT OF,
BRING SOME SORT OF, CHANGES TO
THE COMPANY?
>> I WROTE A BOOK CALLED, YOUR
HAPPINESS HAS BEEN HACKED.
THE BOOK EXPLAINED THE TRICKS
TECH INDUSTRY IS USING TO
CONTROL OUR MINDS.
IT IS A GAME.
THEY USE PSYCHOLOGICAL
EXPERIMENTS DONE IN 1940s, WE
PUT MOUSE IN CAGES HAD THEM
NIBBLE ON FOOD AND YOU KNOW,
BASICALLY MAKE THEM ADDICTED TO
FOOD.
THEY'RE USING THOSE TECHNIQUES
TO MAKE US ADDICTED TO SOCIAL
MEDIA.
EVERYTHING THEY DO TO KEEP US
COMING BACK FOR MORE.
THAT IS WHAT THE BOOK EXPLAINED
IN GREAT DETAIL.
FACEBOOK IS USING EVIL
TECHNIQUES TO CONTROL US.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO NOW IS ALL
BECOME AWARE OF IT, UNDERSTAND
IT.
THE FACT WE'RE DISCUSSING IT IS
GREAT.
A YEAR AGO WE WERE SUCKERED BY
FACEBOOK.
WE'RE OPENLY TALKED ABOUT IT.
AND EXTREME LEFT AND EXTREME
RIGHT EVERYONE AGREES WITH THIS.
EVERYONE AGREES IT IS A SERIOUS
PROBLEM OVER HERE.
LET'S FINE FACEBOOK EXTREMELY
HEAVILY.
SOLVE OTHER PROBLEMS AND THIS
WILL BE A WAKE-UP CALL FOR
SILICON VALLEY.
THIS WOULD SEND A LOUD AND CLEAR
MESSAGE.
CHARLES: VIVEK, ALSO ONE MORE
FOR YOU.
YOU HAVE A COUPLE PIECES OUT ON
A NEW SPACE RACE THAT IS TAKING
PLACE, HOW IT IS SHAPING UP.
YOU SAY THERE WON'T BE JUST ONE
WINNER.
SO, STATE YOUR CASE FOR US.
>> IT USED TO BE YOU KNOW,
AMERICA AND THE SOVIETS.
THE TWO EMPIRES BATTLING FOR
SPACE.
THAT IS WHAT GOT US TO THE MOON.
THAT IS WHY WE DID THE
EXPLORATION.
30, 40 YEARS, NOTHING HAPPENED.
NOW WHAT HAPPENED THE COST OF
EVERYTHING HAS DROPPED.
THIS DEVICE OVER HERE IN MY
HAND, THIS HAS MORE COMPUTING
POWER THAN THE GREAT
SUPERCOMPUTERS DO IN THE
1970s.
THIS IS 40 TIMES MORE POWERFUL
FOR GREAT SUPER COMPUTERS WERE.
GYROSCOPES USED TO CALL IN
MILLION DOLLARS.
THEY'RE ALL FEATURED IN OUR
SMARTPHONE.
IN MY POCKET I CARRY ENOUGH
TECHNOLOGY TO TAKE TO US THE
MOON.
NOW THAT IS THE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS
AND ROCKETS.
EVERY NASA MISSION WOULD COST
ABOUT $1.6 BILLION.
ELON MUSK WILL RENT YOU A ROCKET
FOR $60 MILLION THAT CAN CARRY
ABOUT $10,000, 10,000 POUNDS OF
WEIGHT.
COST OF ROCKETS DROPPED
DRAMATICALLY AS WELL.
THE POINT OVER HERE, YOU KNOW,
ANYONE WITH A LOT OF MONEY CAN
BUILD A SPACE MISSION AND YOU
HAVE ELON MUSK DOING IT.
YOU HAVE JEFF BEZOS DOING IT.
RICHARD BRANSON IS DOING IT, AND
WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHERS INCLUDING
GOVERNMENTS.
CHINA LANDED ON FAR SIDE OF THE
MOON.
IF INDIA DISCOVERED WATER ON THE
MOON WITH A SATELLITE THEY
LAUNCHED.
INDIA PLANS TO HAVE A MANNED
MISSION IN THE MOON IN 2022.
TALKING ABOUT INDIA.
THEY WANT TO SPEND $100 MILLION
ON IT TO HAVE AN INDIAN ON THE
MOON.
IMAGINE WHAT IS POSSIBLE, ANYONE
CAN COMPETE.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED CEILINGS AS
WELL AS WALLS.
WE NEED TO START BUILDING
BECAUSE ON THE MOON ONE DAY.
CHARLES: SOME SAY WE MIGHT NEED
SECURITY FORCE, SPACE SPORES,
WINK-WINK.
