I am currently just following a tutorial showing how to use the pandas library and I can across this error. I'm still new to the whole scene so I'm not entirely sure what's going on or how to interpret this error:

I attached the whole thing just in case. I ran the following code:
df = pd.read_html('http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/banklist.html')
I've seen a few things about installing something called certifi but it says that that requirement is already satisfied. I'm currently running Ubuntu. I noticed that this is a prominent error on MacOS so I'm not sure what it is here.
Thank you for your time!
