Ahead of the 2024 election, USAFacts founder and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is launching a new video series called “Just the Facts,” aimed at explaining to Americans the government data related to a variety of topics, including the economy, immigration, healthcare, and more.
“Don’t worry, I’m not running for office,” Ballmer says in a video (above) introducing the series. “The more we know, the better voters we can be. So I’ll deliver you the facts, straight up, and you make up your own minds.”
The series will debut Thursday with two episodes about the federal budget and the immigration system. Those episodes, which are currently watchable on the USA Facts web page for the series, will air at 9 p.m. ET and PT and 8 p.m. CT and MT on Fox. Videos will also show up on the organization’s YouTube channel.
Future episode titles beg a number of questions, including: “Is the U.S. economy strong?”; “How does America get its energy?”; “Are Americans getting healthier?”; and “How is the U.S. population changing?”
Ballmer, who is also the billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Clippers NBA team, launched USAFacts in 2017 as nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization to provide insight into how the nation is being run. The site draws on data from more than 70 government sources and regularly crunches numbers in an effort to take the pulse and track trends in America.
