But above all of them here a buddy, I'm in here it's time for Skype. Coffee was got out an excuse me, I'm sorry, I'm my technology, which just gets better every day. For those of you who would like to see my cool set up watch this. Would you like to see deference.
And now, but only looking look me again, pretty amazing, pretty amazing. Now, looking at your comments here isn't in time for the simultaneous it, I believe it is joining. Ah, that's good simultaneously I think I've got my lighting fixed, I'm actually This is where the camera on my ipod is so good that I have. I had to get almost darkness in the room. Sir, wasn't too bright in such a sensitive, caverns cut amazing kind of fear.
fun stories as by watching what's happening in North Korea? Yes, oh, let me do something weird, let's see what would happen if I split my screen. Yes, these are the things I can do in real time put most. Over there and now, but when we look at the mere you're, pretty amazing. Now I'm looking at your comments, hey isn't in time for the simultaneous it. I believe it is joining. We still hear what does that look like So do I will take you think I've got my lighting fixed I'm. Actually, this is where the camera only Ipad is so good that I have
I had a good. Almost no darkness in there was try this in You showed off just shown offered by new technology. So I got this thing called a sling studio. It's a box that you can home different cameras in the cabin. on your ipads and iphones and other cameras, and then you could have like little studio set up where you can change camera angles, So software, north korea- North Korea has had a big military parade, and do you see what was missing so it turns out there They did not have their long range, I see becomes in the park and prayed, so that's big deal because they are very proud of their. ability to seven vessels missiles all the way to the United States, but they decided not to make a big deal about it. So what does that mean about TAT
North Korea? Does it mean that were crawl forward with these little steps. I think you saw that North Korea is king I recently said, glowing nice things about how much he likes. President Trump. and then they held a military prayed were conspicuously. They subtracted the big weapons that are problematic it. feels like progress, no matter how slowly a goes. So I think the thing you need to look at with North Korea is every few weeks. Are you further ahead or not, and I would stop worrying about how long it takes. So everything seems good. On that front. Did you see that there's a big effort to clean up the plastic in the oceans forget this big technology with these big gigantic
since we were set out there for months trying to clean up the plastic and it's kind of an Ex parents, they don't know exactly if it'll work or how I loved and a work or, if urged, to many fish, but they're gonna find now so this is exactly the kind of job that only billionaires can do. I think care more about. Often Peter deal or behind, among others, lotta people donate money. But sometimes you just need a billionaire there's something you just can't. Do the government just can't figure out where the government is not well suited for it, and I think this plastic pickup might be summit. I see lots of questions about the. U S open and the the questions that Serena got Nay argument with the chair,
umpire about. I guess he peed Eliezer, going through a game or something because of something she said that she sang hate, the male players they get away with far worse. So it must be sexism. and I wondered why she chose sexism YO she could play the race car right seems like it was Atossa If you have serene always being treated differently, then we'll players, she seemed the male Blair's wishes they were all women are treated differently than all male players, because if there is not the case and if it's just something she noticed about herself. There was unique to you dig compared to wash and seen from male players why shipping gender? Why? What in shipping grace-
In any event, I have no idea what they each year, umpire was thinking, so I don't know how you verify was somebody was thinking in a way it sort of a thought crime. Isn't it there's no way to statistically prove whether this particular chair empire was biased? Is you got this? One call. And so what do you do? The only way you can legitimately continue to attack this one person's decision for being so just use to imagine that you know what they're thinking, how many times have you seen us. I call it out all the time and you probably were less aware of it before I started talking men and all the time. But oh the opponent was black erect
just raided. The comments you reminded me that her apartment was also black. Is that you. I don't really know the opponents, but she must she looks like she has a japanese last name, ok. So maybe that's the reason, but still isn't enough of a region is because the call wasn't about the opponent. So the I dont think the clay Is that the umpire was trying to make the other player win, in which case it would matter if the other player was black? I think the call was just the complaint is that it was a harsh call for Serena in that particular situation? So I really do we have much to do with the other player was japanese, half have Japanese have black somebody say
so it's a tragedy. There were even talking about that. Isn't how'd! You like, I feel so sorry for her. So I forget her name or was so here. She is she in this major events, again Serena Williams, like probably the most, amazing sporting thing, She could accomplish in her life dishes by dreamed of winning something like this Oliver Life and Then she winds and what are people talking about people are not talk. About how great she played they're talking about her race or ethnicity, is the last thing she wanted one assumes anyway, so it kind of ruined. Why should have been a great day
for her? I feel sorry for I dont personally have an opinion about whether the call was good or bad or sexist or now sexist, because I can't read the umpires mind, but the interesting thing I want to talk about was the White House Mall. and I've got to take on the mole they haven't heard and it might be part of I'm sure, there's some profiling going. Where people are doing like what FBI profile is due trying to figure out the identity of this secret. The house mole who wrote the editorial for the New York Times and hears two things I would say for, I would add to the profile of this person. the first thing we know is that the the way out? Insider slash? Mole believes that
his or her, and I think it's a he believes that his judgment about political stuff is superior to the president's case. Less our first data point this person The Basle II and real without any reservations, is saying in public, like it's a fact that their own judgement is better than the judgment of the president of the United States, who has clearly accomplished a few things. So if that was your only data point, you said yourself well, two possibilities, one This is a really really smart person who is correct, and this person has great judgment and should have been the president, this person so awesome the other possibility they are dealing with a narcissist, Who believes that his just kind of awesome and he saw awesome there
he knows more than the President of the United States now what else would be or evidence that he's a narcissist someone who just thinks everything about him is amazing. Well, he's doing two things that people are calling on: usual. He's writing a big New York Times article, but then not putting his name on it. Well he's telling you you saving the world but writing the article makes it less like we he'll be able to save the world. So did he really about the world. It doesn't seem like a. About the world because of a deity would have written the article or he would go on public and said. Ah, this is bad for me, but I have to I have to talk about what I mean. So I dont think it was about the world
and it wasn't exactly didn't look political than it in the sense that it didn't look like it was a secret calories order. May care rule it out, but there's nothing we saw there would suggest that because he was a good things about the economy. Good things about defence sounded very conservative, so if it wasn't political and it wasn't, I Hilary so porter and it is inconsistent with really trying to help the world. What does it look like? It looks like somebody who wanted to be famous and felt that they were too important to get in trouble Or, to put it another way, wanted to have no risk of getting in trouble, or at least a low risk war, so being famous so put the pieces together. That's the way it has more believed here.
had better judgment and could run the country better than the president and Like there was no doubt about that, like it was. There were the way the articles written is. That is just obvious that this person, knows more than the president, because the present, because he's helping the president. Lloyd, his own disastrous impulsive decisions says who says the person writing it Secondly, they believe that they are too important to get in trouble. it's a little bit about the writer. Is they want? the famous for the article They don't want to get in trouble. They think they are better judgment than the President narcissist right. so I think you should be looking for someone who has and insanely big ego
does this is someone who thinks a lotta themselves? Their opinion doesn't want to get in. Trouble still wants to be famous. So maybe someday will know that identity, but no matter what there, the famous and away because they can at least tell their friends. You know that article was me, so I thank you narrows down the personality of who this is. So can tweeted the other day that it's I'm paraphrasing, but. you're trying to be the boss, you don't have time to explain your decisions. Sometimes you just got to tell people what to do and they're not going to like it cuz you just don't have time to persuade people. he's gonna tell me what to do. If you like, I was a response to the what's happening with the president, but you can never know.
And then can you dated twenty twenty four. so if he's not running for President he's doing a good job of looking like he is so we'll see, doesn't have to be someone who is currently in government somebody's trying to blame Ben for this? I think it somebody seems more likely at somebody still in government. so, who sailor more trolls here today that you. The more will be caught because their mouth correct All likelihood the mole has talk to other people. When I was talking about the delighted actor test. Even if you imagine that the mall,
could lie well enough to beat the lighted actor test the the way they can still get away with. It is, if all the people they ve, told You know if its analysis. And it is, the nurses. This is gonna. Tell other people there's no way that the personal wrote this is not blabbing to other people. If those other people get the lie detector test And they believe, like detectors, work, they could easily break because you can imagine lies attack your test, whether the person giving us her When I asked you, if you know who did it, I got a little black here and here the fund part. Maybe there was no blip, but the person whose YO strapped into the lighted actor thinking a blip, did I blip? Oh god, oh god, I'm starting to break. Ah and then there is a blip and then, though, why detector guises or woman. So, given some country
here, so you better tell us if you want to Your job better, tell us who this person is. So it seems to me that they must have already figured out who is by now wouldn't be the art and I think that it can be done by analyzing the style of writing. There would probably have to run the style of writing against the New York Times own editors, just to make sure it wasn't rewritten, but I think they can do So, on the other, the other thing is somebody said well me, Maybe it was a rewritten by somebody so that you could not identify the writing of the original author. Well, that's possible! But what have we seen about this other narcissist. does a narcissist. Let somebody answer rewrite the writing, so that is,
less identifiable as the person who originally wrote it, I might use I bought a narcissist does so I'm gonna feel whoever wrote that very much. Their writing to be the thing in the New York Times. You don't think that much yourself unless wanting to your own writing in the New York Times. that would be a writers, the biggest biggest win. I remember when you told people could not tell if tromp was a narcissist right trump, in my opinion, uses ego as a tool in that he heat pumps it up in a puncture down whenever he needs to Corey Booker
Did you notice that Corey Booker's eyes and Alexandria Dave you Cortez? I tried not to be disrespectful by pronouncing your name wrong, conscious of the fact that one I stumble on it sounds like. I'm having trouble with the universe, sparing name and sells where, but I promise you I'm just terrible- would names so dumb relating into it. By have you noticed that both the Korean and Alexander I have thus Alexandria, you know I'm talkin to talk about They both have those eyes and let's see if I can bring up my second screen, to show you what I'm talking about. This will be a good test of my technology. Alright,
Bear with me here, let's find picture of her tears, and I think you know what I'm talking about right leg. Why isn't she? The first searched her. If it takes me one more time to find her. Here find a good picture, I don't make your way, but you know what I'm talking about. They both have eyes that are, like little bit too big and round, like our riser I've S office, just as the pictures,
We're saying and why the heck is my lighting now terrible, I'm literally sitting in the dark, and it looks like I'm so the uniform studio, I can't actually even make it more dark in here. There's no light on in this room. This is weird I'm going to change out my camera all right. I don't think I have anything else interesting to say anybody have any questions, lazy, eyes, Chuck Todd Who are you know, I'm wondering if there's something to their look that think about the energy optimism? I dont know what it means. But it doesnt read as completely. It doesnt readers normal. We just don't know what to do. What it reads ass in don't want to read their minds.
Somebody says admiral I don't know if, after all, does it to you but make the room brighter somebody says well let's try their turn off my my microphone and make room brighter don't go anywhere, K, experiment.
