Since the year 2000, almost 1 million people have lost their lives to disasters caused by natural hazards. 2 billion people have been affected. 1 trillion dollars in damage was caused.

Bonus points to Krystal Ball for emphasizing to viewers that Cupp is supposed to be smart, despite all evidence to the contrary, and to Steve Kornacki for keeping a straight face although his eyes betray the panic of a guy who just figured out that his date is totally wasted and he’s wondering if his friends will be giving him shit about it later.
