Transcription of a CNBC video clip by Disqus user spocko

The industry has to support the warfighter. The one thing, though, that I think even now is underestimated by all actors in industry and including in Silicon Valley is how disruptive these technologies are. If you are going to disrupt the economic, and therefore political power significantly of one party space, highly educated, often female voterswho vote mostly Democrat and military and working class people who do not feel supported, and you feel like that's you believe that that's going to work out politically. You're in an insane asylum.

Like that you cannot have this technology disrupts humanity's train[ed] largely Democratic voters and makes their economic power less. And increases the power, economic power, of vocationally trained working class, often male votersand so these disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society and to make this work we have to come to an agreement of what it is we're going to do with the technology, how are we going to explain to people who are likely going to have less good and less interesting jobs from their perspective, and how is it that we are going

and by the way on the military thing. These technologies are dangerous societally. The only justification you could possibly have would be that if we don't do it our adversaries and will do it and we will be subject to their rule of law.

So if you decouple this from the support of the military you're going to have an enormous problem explaining to the American people why is it that we're absorbing the risk of disrupting the very fabric of our society including the most powerful parts of our society if it's not because it's about maintaining our ability to be American in the near-term and in long-term.
