0:01 Hey everybody, how's it going? Hope
0:02 you're having a lovely day. When I make
0:03 arguments when I'm talking about flock
0:05 AI powered surveillance cameras, I try
0:07 to keep them as general arguments, not
0:08 as CISA arguments. So a general argument
0:10 is an argument that I believe if done
0:11 properly will work on a lot of the
0:13 population. A CISA argument is an
0:15 argument that may work really well on
0:16 this person without a lot of effort, but
0:18 it will have the exact opposite effect
0:20 if I use it on somebody else. So I'll
0:22 give you an example. A generalized
0:23 argument could be an argument where I
0:26 say that in Austin after having these
0:27 cameras up for a good period of time, it
0:30 cost over $7,000 per arrest and it had
0:32 less than 0.2% effectiveness rate, which
0:34 is horrible, and now they want to spend
0:37 $2 million of your money on it. A CISA
0:38 argument would be these cameras are
0:40 being used by ICE. What's the difference
0:42 between these two? The first argument is
0:43 an argument where regardless of where
0:44 you are on the on the political
0:46 spectrum, it's just it doesn't work. it.
0:48 If you were to spend the exact same
0:50 amount of money that you were to spend
0:51 on those cameras on hiring actual police
0:52 officers and putting them in areas of
0:55 crime, scientifically and statistically
0:56 speaking, you would be much better off.
0:58 Whereas the second argument, I don't
0:59 have to look into statistics. I don't
1:00 have to do a lot of work. But if I'm
1:02 talking to somebody that I know that
1:04 like thinks that borders are silly and
1:06 legal immigration is not an issue, the
1:08 moment I say that I this these cameras
1:10 help ICE, I have my I have my argument.
1:11 I'm done. I've landed my argument.
1:13 However, if I'm speaking to somebody who
1:14 thinks illegal immigration is a bad
1:16 thing, they may not even know what flock
1:18 is. But they may now think, "Oh, wow.
1:19 That's a great thing. These help ICE.
1:21 Don't threaten me with a good time and
1:22 they'll look it up and go to their local
1:24 city council town hall meeting and vote
1:26 and ask their representatives to vote in
1:28 favor of it." So, a CISA argument is an
1:29 argument that works really well in this
1:31 person, but will immediately be undone
1:32 when you speak to somebody who has the
1:34 opposite politics. A general argument is
1:35 an argument that's going to work across
1:37 the board. I've always tried to stick to
1:39 the arguments that work across the
1:40 board. Here is the actual effectiveness
1:43 rate of these. Here is what politicians
1:44 are saying. Here's this person saying,
1:46 "You have no expectation of privacy when
1:48 driving a stolen vehicle who's making
1:50 the assumption that every single person
1:52 driving has a stolen vehicle." That's
1:53 that's not the way the whole innocent
1:55 until proven guilty thing works. But
1:56 anyway, reason I'm saying this is
1:57 because I feel like I'm being baited
2:00 into making one of the CISO arguments
2:02 and I can't help myself. I'm making this
2:03 because I've gotten a lot of emails
2:04 asking about this since Mam Donnie won
2:06 the election. There is somebody in
2:08 Nassau County, executive Bruce Blakeman,
2:10 and there were a bunch of news articles
2:11 coming out about him. New York City
2:13 suburb makes major security move by city
2:14 border after Mdani victory. Talks like
2:15 he's pro criminal. We're doing
2:16 everything necessary to make sure that
2:19 Nassau County is safe. Okay, got no
2:20 problem with that. Scroll down. In an
2:22 interview with Fox News, Blakeman, who
2:23 was just reelected to serve a second
2:24 term in the majority of Blue County,
2:26 said we'll be taking extra precautions
2:28 to preserve law and order. Okay, fine.
2:30 Nothing wrong with that. We'll do
2:31 everything necessary to make sure Nassau
2:32 County is safe. We are installing
2:33 technology along the border that will
2:34 read license plates, have facial
2:36 recognition, and have video cam. He also
2:37 stated they're hiring new police
2:38 officers in addition to the existing
2:40 force and the 100 police cadets
2:42 currently enrolled. Hiring more police.
2:43 Fine, go for it. Some of the comments,
2:45 license plate readers and facial
2:46 recognition is needed. Track everyone
2:48 coming in. Put them at shopping centers,
2:51 too. 62 up votes to two down votes.
2:52 Someone says, "I don't want anyone in
2:53 New York to use facial recognition on
2:55 me. That's way too much government in my
2:56 day-to-day life tracking me. No thank
2:58 you." And he got ratio two up votes to
3:00 18 down votes. Then you probably never
3:01 want to go out in public. Facial
3:02 recognition is used everywhere for a
3:04 variety of reasons. The only way to
3:05 avoid it is to not go out. If that's
3:07 true, you should never leave your house.
3:08 Cameras are everywhere. Don't break the
3:09 law and it shouldn't matter if you're
3:11 caught on camera or not. Besides, it's
3:12 New York. If you're a criminal, they
3:14 don't lock you up anyway. So, okay,
3:15 let's we're not going to get into all
3:16 this salt and other [ __ ] Let's just
3:18 focus on what what he's saying. I'm
3:19 going to assume that if you live in
3:21 Nassau County, which is not New York
3:22 City, and you're reading and commenting
3:24 in the foxnews.com comment section, that
3:26 you're probably more rightle leaning. If
3:27 that's the case, I'm just going to make
3:28 that assumption. Let's go over a few
3:30 things here that are why I find it very
3:32 surprising that this group of people is
3:35 very very excited in ratioing this hard.
3:37 Anybody that says they think that having
3:39 cameras everywhere are a bad idea. I
3:41 lived in New York City for 32 years of
3:43 my life. I was there for 2020 during CO.
3:44 You you conservatives in New York. You
3:46 remember what CO was like? You remember
3:47 2020? You remember when the [ __ ]
3:49 mayor of New York City wanted to come
3:51 out with a a tip line you would send
3:53 pictures to if people were not socially
3:54 distancing properly? You remember that?
3:56 Remember the [ __ ] governor that
3:57 wanted to mandate how many people you
3:58 could have in your house for
3:59 Thanksgiving? Gatherings of over 10
4:01 people are not permitted. Please have
4:02 the police sweep homes looking for
4:04 children hiding in the attic writing
4:05 diaries. Tell your boy Gavin Newsome.
4:07 You were here for that, right? You were
4:09 here when the mayor set up eight tip
4:11 lines that if people are 5 1/2 ft apart
4:12 instead of 6 feet apart, they could get
4:14 in trouble. And you, after living
4:16 through all of this, think it's a great
4:18 idea to have AI facial recognition
4:20 cameras set up everywhere that city
4:22 employees can use. Cover 45 is going to
4:23 be lit. They don't even have to have a
4:25 tip line anymore. They can just send a
4:27 fine that have a little catchy
4:30 interface. Anybody that's 5.9 ft apart
4:32 instead of six, please figure out who
4:34 they are and send a fine of $1,000
4:37 directly to their house and disable
4:38 their car from driving, too. Cuz by
4:39 then, let's be real, that's going to be
4:41 part of this. Do you forget this? Do you
4:43 forget that we very very recently lived
4:45 in a city that was so psychotic that you
4:47 were not allowed to have indoor dining,
4:48 but you could have outdoor dining. But
4:51 it was cold outside. So they built these
4:55 structures on the street that were so
4:57 closed off that when the summer came
4:58 around, they had to put [ __ ] air
5:00 conditioners inside of them to keep them
5:02 cool. But that's outside because you
5:03 couldn't allow people to eat inside. You
5:05 lived through this, New York conservatives.
5:06 conservatives.
5:08 And you think it's a good idea to give
5:10 your government the power to watch you
5:14 everywhere that you go? Why?
5:15 Why?
5:17 You're going to own the socialist by
5:19 turning your own area into a police
5:20 state. These people that claim that, oh,
5:21 you have no expectation of privacy in
5:22 public when you go outside. There's
5:24 cameras everywhere already. What does
5:27 CCTV stand for? What does the first C
5:30 stand for? Closed circuit television.
5:33 CCTV. Closed circuit television. I have
5:35 cameras outside of my store. I have
5:37 cameras in my house. I have cameras in a
5:38 lot of different places. You know who
5:41 has access to them? Me, not a city
5:43 employee. Nobody else has access to
5:45 them. I have access to them. If somebody
5:46 wishes to get the camera footage, they
5:48 have to go to my house and they have to
5:50 have a warrant or they have to knock on
5:52 the door. There could be 800,000 cameras
5:53 in your neighborhood. As long as those
5:55 cameras are closed circuit television
5:58 cameras closed, there's no city employee
6:00 that can just go up and go, "How many
6:01 people had 11 people over for
6:03 Thanksgiving instead of 10? Please
6:05 identify their faces and send each one a
6:07 fine. That is not something that you can
6:08 do when the cameras belong to the
6:10 individual in a closed system. That is
6:12 something you can do when those cameras
6:14 are being put up by your government. The
6:15 difference between private businesses
6:16 having cameras that they're the only
6:18 ones that can access and the government
6:20 having AI powered surveillance cameras
6:21 that can see where you are at any given
6:22 point in time is literally the
6:23 difference between the United States and
6:25 China. I don't understand how a
6:27 difference of this magnitude is not
6:28 being pointed out, especially since
6:30 we're supposed to be against the Chinese
6:32 authoritarian state and the surveillance
6:33 state. We're literally cheering on
6:36 building it in our own [ __ ] country
6:38 just to own the mayor that got elected
6:40 in the city next to us. And that's the
6:41 thing that I think bothers me about all
6:43 of this more than anything else is this
6:45 idea that we just need to do everything
6:46 that's in this basket. So like Mayor
6:48 Mandani is going in this direction or we
6:50 perceive him as going in this direction.
6:51 So we need to go in that direction. We
6:53 need to take everything in the basket of
6:55 this direction. We need to do all of it.
6:56 Not just some of it, but all of it. Just
6:58 because like just to make a stand, just
7:00 so I I can be on the news saying, "I'm
7:01 doing all of this stuff. Look at me.
7:03 look at how awesome I am as a politician
7:04 to be the opposite of him. It's not
7:06 coming from the right place. My personal
7:07 trainer says this all the time. Human
7:08 beings are very bad at balance. You
7:10 can't find he. You're either here or
7:12 you're here. And it's just incredibly
7:14 shortsighted. I'm not asking people to
7:15 change who they voted for. I'm not
7:17 asking you to change your entire
7:19 mentality or your ideology on life. All
7:20 I'm asking you to do is be honest with
7:22 yourself. Did I get caught up in
7:24 something? Am I caught up in the
7:26 particular rhetoric of my time? Did I
7:28 get excited? Should I be building so the
7:30 infrastructure for a surveillance state
7:32 that essentially cancels out the
7:35 difference between the United States and
7:37 China and be proud of it as I'm doing
7:39 it? Or was that maybe just a bad [ __ ]
7:41 idea? Was that me getting caught up in
7:42 something? That's it. I'm not going to
7:44 ask you to change who you vote for. I'm
7:45 not going to say that you're a bad
7:46 person because you want to live in a
7:47 safe neighborhood. And you see it how
7:48 horrible the accuracy is. The thing will
7:50 mistake a B for an eight and somebody
7:51 will wind up getting pulled over by the
7:53 police and held at gunpoint when they're
7:54 innocent. Can you imagine what would
7:56 happen if it thinks you're parking in
7:57 front of this house instead of that
7:58 house and they think that 11 people went
8:00 into that house instead of 10 for CO
8:02 version three in 2045? They'll be able
8:03 to just take away your driving
8:04 privileges and send everybody there a
8:05 $1,000 fine. I want you to think about
8:07 that next time you hear somebody make
8:08 that argument that this camera's outside
8:09 anyway, so you shouldn't care about
8:10 this. Look what Flock is doing with this
8:12 stuff right now. They are labeling
8:15 people in cars, motorcycles, bicycles.
8:17 They are actually even classifying the
8:19 different maze that children scream. I'm
8:20 not kidding. Given how hard it can be to
8:22 distinguish between a children and adult
8:23 screaming, please make use of the
8:24 certainty drop down shown on the right.
8:26 Somewhere in Asia, East, and Europe,
8:27 someone is listening to American
8:29 children in distress cataloging their
8:31 terror and screams for a few dollars an
8:33 hour. These cameras are being used to
8:36 catalog and categorize all of these
8:37 different types of things. People that
8:38 are standing next to each other, people
8:40 walking their dog. It's [ __ ] creepy.
8:42 I am not kidding when I say that it is
8:44 very possible 20 years from now for you
8:46 to get automated fines because the
8:47 governor or the mayor thinks that you're
8:48 doing something that he doesn't agree
8:50 with. and you're creating the
8:51 infrastructure for it right now and
8:53 you're cheering it on. And I don't think
8:55 that you should be. The next time you
8:57 hear somebody say some nonsense like,
8:58 "Well, there's already cameras outside,
8:59 so you shouldn't care about this."
9:01 [ __ ] Those are a different type of
9:03 camera. The camera in front of my house
9:05 is only viewable by me. Nobody from the
9:07 city or the state is able to use it to
9:08 catch you in a drag net and then use
9:10 some sort of AI nonsense to try and
9:12 figure out exactly what type of behavior
9:13 you were taking part in so that that
9:16 they can find you or get you in trouble
9:18 or arrest you for [ __ ] This is has so
9:20 much potential to be negatively abused.
9:22 And if you don't believe me, all I do is
9:24 I ask that you remember 5 years ago.
9:26 Anything that aggravated you as a
9:29 conservative about COVID in New York,
9:31 imagine that times 80. I feel weird for
9:33 the fact that I even have to explain any
9:34 of this. And this is something that was
9:36 already settled by the Supreme Court in
9:38 2018. In Carpenter versus United States,
9:40 the Supreme Court explicitly rejected
9:41 the argument that venturing into the
9:42 public eliminates Fourth Amendment
9:44 protection. Chief Justice John Roberts
9:45 wrote that the government's access to
9:47 127 days of cell site location data
9:48 tracking movements of public roads
9:50 achieved near perfect surveillance as if
9:51 it had attached an ankle monitor to the
9:53 phone's user. The court said that a
9:54 person does not surrender all fourth
9:55 amendment protection by venturing into
9:57 the public sphere. And I have many other
10:00 examples of this. There is a very very
10:02 big difference between your neighbor
10:04 having a surveillance camera outside his
10:06 house and these cameras which are
10:08 accessible by hundreds to thousands to
10:11 tens of thousands of city employees that
10:12 then have a nice little chat GPT like
10:14 interface that will eventually allow you
10:15 to just type something in like I don't
10:18 know find me everybody that is wearing
10:20 their mask below their nose send them a
10:24 $2,000 fine and revoke their privileges
10:25 to drive or some [ __ ] When a business
10:27 owner gets attacked by a bum and he
10:28 defends himself and the [ __ ]
10:29 districts attorney that doesn't
10:31 prosecute the criminals decides to
10:32 prosecute the business owner, I speak
10:35 out about it. When the charges are
10:36 dropped, I'm happy with it. And when
10:39 people try to destroy cars in front of
10:41 my own store, before the police even
10:43 come by, my own employees and myself are
10:45 there chasing the criminal. I am not
10:47 soft on crime. I am not pro crime. And
10:49 I'm fine with you doing whatever it is
10:50 that you need to do to stop crime in
10:52 your neighborhood. I could understand
10:53 people having differences, but like the
10:56 difference of 62 to2 in some of these
10:57 comments. And this is just one comment
10:59 section, but I've seen this repeat
11:00 itself across many different websites
11:02 and comment sections where people are
11:04 praising this gentleman for his tough on
11:07 crime stance of installing all this ALPR
11:09 surveillance all over his his area and
11:11 the citizens are incredibly happy with
11:13 it. I would understand that if those
11:16 people were in a coma from 2019 through
11:18 2022, I would completely get it. But you
11:19 lived in New York through this. I would
11:22 expect that conservative New Yorkers who
11:24 live right on the boundary of New York
11:26 City and one of the surrounding areas
11:27 would have been one of the people who
11:29 would be a bull work against this type
11:31 of surveillance being installed in their
11:33 state, not being excited for it after
11:34 living through 2020. And that's the
11:36 thing. I'm I'm not trying to tell you
11:37 that you're wrong for who you vote. I'm
11:38 not going to tell you that you're wrong
11:39 for who you vote for. I'm not going to
11:40 tell you that you're wrong for wanting
11:42 to have a low crime neighborhood and
11:43 want to do all these initiatives, any of
11:45 that. I'm just trying to plant a seed
11:47 here. Do you think this is a good idea?
11:49 I want you to think about the speed at
11:50 which this technology advances. I want
11:51 you to think about all the people that
11:53 are supposed to supposed to be
11:54 responsible for protecting your privacy
11:56 of your personal data and how that's
11:58 actually played out over the last 5 to
11:59 10 years. How do you think this is going
12:02 to go when a politician that dislikes
12:04 you and everything you believe in is in
12:05 office and has power over that apparatus
12:07 that's been created.
12:09 Think of all the [ __ ] up [ __ ] that
12:10 they would do if they have a nice little
12:12 chat sheep like interface that they can
12:13 use anytime they want to make a query
12:15 with no auditing. I'm going to throw
12:17 that out there.
12:19 I don't think it's a great idea, but you
12:22 do you. I don't live there anymore, so I
12:24 don't care.
12:26 That's it for today. And as always, I
12:28 hope you learned something. I'll see you
12:30 in the next video. Bye. Now, you have a
12:33 responsibility to me. It's not just
12:35 about you.
12:37 You have a responsibility to me. Right?
12:39 We started here saying it's not about
12:41 me. It's about we. Get your head about
12:45 the around the we concept. So, it's not
12:48 all about you. It's about me, too.
12:50 >> They can't wait for the money. They're
12:50 out of money.
12:52 >> Yeah. We're talking about a couple of
12:54 days lag.
12:56 >> They're saying that is there a
12:58 fundamental right to work? If the
13:01 government can't get me the money when I
13:02 need it. Is there
13:04 >> You want to go, by the way, you want to
13:05 go to work? Go take a job as an
13:07 essential worker.
13:10 >> Do it tomorrow.
13:12 Right. You're working.
13:15 >> I am. You're an essential worker, so go
13:16 take a job as an essential worker.
13:18 >> But but the people aren't hiring because
13:19 of the
13:21 >> No, there are people hiring. You can get
13:24 a job as an essential worker. So now you
13:25 can go to work and you can be an
13:26 essential worker and you're not going to
