that the signals intelligence the u.s. intelligence community has been collecting over the last year or so on this question has not proven definitive one way or another you this virus actually began, whether it began via animals and spread to humans or whether it was the result of a lab leak. the intel community is essentially redoubling its efforts and going over everything that it s already collected to make sure that it didn t miss anything because what our sources tell us is that a perennial challenge for the intelligence community is that they collect a lot more intelligence than analysts than they have analysts to actually analyze it. what the biden white house has tasked the intelligence community to do now is to go back over everything with the help of the national labs, which have a very large capacity for number crunching, for data crunching to help redouble the efforts and see if there s
have some trepidation about all of this data crunching. we love it. we re junkies. but we still got it wrong with gillum tuesday night. gillum is running his race. my sister, full disclosure, she is a documentium. she is on the ground. this gillum, he has a lot of momentum on the ground. he can t win. he is at the bottom of the polls. my sister maria is saying to me he s got a lot of people following him at these different things. more than when he shows up where other people have been who are above him in the polls. can t win. can t win. it s either going to be the mayor of north beach or this other guy. money has it all locked. i was wrong. gillum wound up taking it. why? they didn t capture voters who weren t sensitive to polling but were sensitive to whatever was happening in that race. but it s a polling problem. it s a problem with the existing technology of polling, and just how tribal we ve become. people are not always willing to
at least you have highlights. best hair in the business. i tell you every time i see you. we were talking about what we got wrong last time. the popular vote went within the margin of error. but select states, the more i have dug into it now over a couple years, what was gotten wrong can t be fixed. we didn t have the ability to catch the person who is paying attention, who is triggered on something positive or negative, but who when approached said i m not going to vote. that s what we saw in the states i don t buy into this process and then close. they say i ve had it. you can t catch that. i don t know we catch it this time either. 2016 was a wakeup for myself. that s for sure. but for a whole host of us to have some prep dags about all of this data crunching. we love it. we re junkies. we still got it wrong.
democratic gerrymandering. > hasta la vista to gerrymandering. if you look at the districts, they re all sliced up. they run this way and that way and they run that way. it s drawing districts not based on a natural concentration of people, but to try to achieve some political end by manipulating the maps. gerrymandering boils down to packing and cracking. packing supporters into a small number of districts where their preferred candidates already win by huge margins, or cracking districts by scattering voters and diluting their influence. with advances in data crunching, maps can be manipulated with laser-like precision, winding down streets and carving out blocks to slice and dice the electorate. that s how we get the funny-shaped districts. you don t just naturally get a district called goofy kicking donald duck based on where people live.
