So we are now at the second talk of this last morning session and the speaker is Amir Burshtain and you will tell us about inelastic decay from integrability. I would say just please go ahead. Okay, so you can hear me, right? Okay, so hi. My name is Amir. I'm from the group of Moshe Goldstein. So first of all, again, let me thank the organizers for this wonderful opportunity to tell you about the recent work. So this talk is going to have two parts. In the first part, I'll tell you about your motivation and about some experiments from the Manchin Group that we've been involved with. And then I'll tell you how we can calculate some quantities that relate to these experiments. So let's begin with our motivation. This is something that we've heard about several times in this week, but I'd like to rephrase it in our terms, which relates to our work. So the question we started from is whether we can observe a significant inelastic decay in a cavity QD system. So for example, if you think about an atom in a cavity and you have an electron at the ground state, so an incoming photon will excite the electron and when the electron decays back to the ground state, it usually emits a single photon. This corresponds to elastic scattering, and the question is, can you have inelastic scattering? For example, can you have three outgoing photons whose frequencies sum up to the incoming frequency? And the answer is that this is possible in principle, but rarely observed because what parameterizes the light metal coupling is the fine structure of constant alpha, which is a small number, so the probability to have such a process is very small. But this would not be the case if you have an effective system which you have an effective alpha on the order of one. And as we've heard, we can do this by replacing the cavity whose impedance is the vacuum impedance z naught. We can replace this cavity by some medium or different impedance z, and then we would have an effective alpha which is proportional to this impedance. And if this impedance gets close to the resistive quantum or even exceeds it, you could expect to see inelastic scattering. So we collaborated with the modern sharing group to do just that. So here you can see a photo and a sketch of the device where we will place the cavity with a transmission line and also replace the atom with an artificial atom, which is a squid. So you can see your antenna for spectroscopy here. It is capacitively coupled to the transmission line, and here you have your squid. Now, in order to get the high impedance, again, as was discussed, we use not a regular transmission line, but rather a Josephson array, so you can see the individual Josephson junctions here in this photo. And the high kinetic inductance of the junction is what leads to a high impedance, which would induce a high effective alpha. So we can expect to see significant inelastic scattering in the system, and in fact, this is what we saw. So in our previous work, we considered a squid in the transmission regime. And what we showed in terms of theory, we showed that we can indeed get significant decay rates for microwave photons in this transmission line due to their interactions with facelifts that occur in this transplant. So we developed a theoretical framework to calculate this cross-section, and actually I have a poster outside about it. So if you're interested about it, I'll be very happy to tell you more about this. It might be useful in other contexts. And this theory agrees very nicely with the experiment, so this is measurements from the Manachaean group, which shows very large decay probabilities for a single photon in a single round trip in the array. So the important thing to take from this figure is that you have very large decay probabilities, which is, again, something you usually do not see in cavity QD-like systems, and this is a rare demonstration of that. But it's not just an exotic effect. This is actually a tool that we can use to probe many body physics. And I'd like to tell you a little bit about how it relates to the dissipative quantum phase transition, which deals with a system very much like the one we discussed before, where we have some joules in junction that is coupled to a dissipative environment. So what Schmidelblutd I predicted almost four years ago is that you would have a quantum phase transition. Can you please move the... can I move it? Oh, I can move it. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I think it's fine, right? Okay, thank you. Okay, so the prediction was that... So the prediction was that you would have a quantum phase transition depending on the value of the normalized impedance of this dissipative environment. So if your normalized impedance is below one, you are in the superconducting state, where the cosine operator of the junction at the end is a relevant operator, and you have a relevant argiscale in the system. In that case, the phase is localized around one of the minimum of the potential, and you can say that in that case, your boundary in the system will look like an inductor. On the other hand, when the normalized impedance is above one, you are in the insulating state, where your cosine is an irrelevant operator, you do not have an argiscale in that case. Your phase can diffuse all of the potential due to phase slips, and the boundary looks like a capacitor. So that was a prediction from almost four years ago, and there have been several walks that tried to observe this, some of which by Hakone, which is here in the audience. But overall, this is hard to observe this transition, and this is mainly due to the fact that you have to apply DC measurements to see this, and these DC measurements might interfere with the state of the system. And in fact, this has sparked a recent debate in the last two years with, again, papers by some of the people here in the audience. Now our proposition to attack this problem is to use the fact that the system is sensitive to single photons in order to learn about its state while interfering with it in the most minimal way possible. So the idea is to basically measure the properties of the photons, namely the decay rates and mode shifts of the single photons in order to learn about the state of the system and check whether the power laws and scaling laws predicted by the theory agree with the measurements. So here we choose to work in the Cooper-Pedro's regime where E c is much better than E j. So we can look at, indeed, at these two quantities. So the first thing we can look at is the decay rates, which is supposed to go as a power law that depends on the impedance, but this parallel diverges for impedances, normalized impedances, which are below one, which indicates that indeed you have a irrelevant RG scale in the system. On the other hand, this parallel is not a verge for a normalized impedance above one, which indicates that the RG scale is irrelevant in that case. So unfortunately, the Menendrara group cannot measure decay rates all the way down to zero frequency, but they can measure intermediate frequencies, and you can use that to see the different trends. So here you can see the decay rates as a function of frequency for several values of the impedance, and you can see a different trend between impedances which are above one, and this is the, excuse me, below one, which are the blue and yellow here, which trend towards the divergence as opposed to the purple one, for example, that has a different trend, and this is an impedance above one. What they can look at at zero frequency, or low frequency, not zero, but low frequency, is mode shifts, and what the mode shifts will tell us, they will tell us about the type of boundary we have in the system. So we have a capacitive boundary on one end, so if we are in the superconducting state and the other boundary looks like an inductor, then we would expect a mode shift of a phase shift of pi half, whereas if we are in the incidentally state, we're expecting to see a mode shift, a phase shift of zero. So by looking at these quantities, we can learn about the transition. So this is just a tease. This is the work that we're wrapping up right now, so stay tuned for the paper. Now, what I'd like to tell you about is how we can do some theory in order to understand the system in the full frequency regime. So what do you mean by that? So we have this result from perturbation theory, and perturbation theory is good above the artist scale, so it is supposed to be good for all frequencies when z is above one, but when z is below one, perturbation theory breaks down below an artist scale, but we want a solution for this regime. So I'd like to tell you how we can achieve that, obtain the solution using the fact that our system is integrable. So this takes me to the second part of my talk, where I'll tell you how we can calculate these decay rates and mode shifts for the entire frequency range. So let's look at our system. So our system is, again, we have some Josephson junction that is coupled to a transmission line for our purposes. You can see the Lagrangian of the system here, and this system is called the Bondi-Sygon model, which we'll also hear about in the next talk. Now, in terms of what interests us, so let's first of all consider this model classically. So we can write down the differential equation of motion, which describes this system, and we have some nonlinear differential equation, and the solutions of this differential equation are actually well known, and they are called solitons, which are windings of the phase going from 0 to plus or minus 2 pi, as you can see in red and blue here, and there is another type of solution called breathers, which appears only for specific values and impedance, and this is, you can see it here in the green. So this is individual solutions of this equation of motion, so we can ask, can we get solutions which are comprised of multiple solitons or multiple solitons of breathers? So, naively, it seems quite complex because this is a nonlinear differential equation, so we do not expect to have a superposition or generally expect to have a complicated type of scattering, but it turns out that actually scattering in the system is quite simple because this system is integrable, and this means that it has an extensive number of conservation laws that highly restrict the type of interactions that we can see in the system. So for example, if you consider the scattering of two breathers or another that propagate along the array and meet up at some point, then when they come out of the scattering, they will maintain their individual shapes, but can only gather some phase shift. Now, more generally, the scattering is purely elastic in the sense that if we consider the scattering of any two solutions with one another, then we have conservation of the set of momenta, so it means that we do not have just conservation of P1 plus P2, but actually we have conservation of P1 and P2, so this would hold for conservation for scattering of two solutions and also for scattering of n solutions with one another. So this would be the case for scattering in the bulk and also reflections of the boundary that we have in the system. So that is the classical theory, and when we go to the quantized theory, we have to take these solutions and propose them to be field excitations and the same picture holds. So we have three types of excitations corresponding to the classical solutions in the system. Here theta is some parameter and technically it's called the rapidity. And again, the same picture holds. So if you consider the scattering of n excitations with one another, then the scattering is purely elastic, so the individual momenta or individual rapidities are conserved, and the only thing that can happen is some momentum-dependent phase shift. So this is the case for scattering in the bulk and also for reflections of the boundary. And this model has been studied extensively and actually one can obtain exact expressions for the scattering reflection matrices only from the integrability of the model. So there have been several walks that worked out these matrices. Okay, so now we can go back to our original questions. So remember that we're interested in obtaining expressions for the mode shifts and decay rates of the photons, but this seems quite contradictory to what I was just telling you about because I was telling you about the system in which scattering are purely elastic. So the question is how is it possible or is it possible to have inelastic scattering in such a system? And the answer is that this is possible because the scatterings are purely elastic in the basis of the sultans and breathers, but they could be inelastic in the basis of the photons because these photons depend non-linearly on the sultans and breathers. And this is underlined by the special z equals half case at which we can actually refirminize the field. So essentially what we can do, we can introduce a fermionic field which is proportional to the exponent of the bosonic field and this fermionic field exactly creates a sultan in the system. So the interaction can be inelastic in the basis of the bosons of the photons here, but even though it is inelastic in the basis of the fermions or the sultans. So this is the case for z equals half where we actually have an explicit relation between the bosons and the sultans and breathers. We don't have such a nice relation for other bosons of z, but the same principle holds. Now it's not just that inelastic decay is possible on the basis of the photons, but we can actually use the integrability of the model and the strong analytical tools that it provides to calculate the decay rate of the photons. So generally to calculate decay rates we have to calculate some sort of correlation functions. For example, we can calculate the photonic propagator which defines a reflection coefficient from which we can read off the mode shifts and the decay rates. So to calculate correlation functions we can use the fact that the sultans and breathers define a complete set of states which we can insert between two operators in some correlation function and then the only thing we need to know are these F functions called form factors which are matrix elements of the operators between the vacuum state and the state of N excitations of N sultans and breathers and these form factors same as for the scattering of the reflection matrices, these form factors are well known for this boundary signal model and can be derived exactly only from the integrability of the model. So now we have everything we need to calculate the decay rates, so we can now go to our results. So starting from the total decay rate, so as I said this can be obtained by calculating a photonic propagator and there is some heavy lifting to do here in order to calculate these integrals so I'm not going into the details but this can be done and we did this. So what we get is this result so this shows you the decay rate as a function of frequency in low-glog scale for several values of the impedance and you can see that the exact solution which is here in solid lines agrees very nicely with perturbation theory for frequencies above the artist scale. We get the same parallel that we had from the perturbation theory and perturbation theory is no longer valid below the artist scale so we need the exact solution to complete the picture and the impedance independent parallel that shows the decay rate goes to zero at low frequencies. Now we can actually go one step further than that and calculate not only the total decay rate which tells us the rate at which a frequency omega k splits to any combination of frequencies we can actually also calculate the decay spectrum which tells the rate at which a frequency omega k splits to a specific omega k prime plus some other frequencies to conserve energy and the decay spectrum obeys a sum rule which relates it to the total decay rate it is given by a three-point correlation function so that is slightly more involved work which is still, we're still in progress this is something we're wrapping up for now we can show the result for z equals half where we can actually obtain a closed exact expression for this decay spectrum and the other values are now in progress. Okay so allow me to briefly conclude so I told you how single photon splitting is possible in a strictly QD environment and how it can be used to observe many body physics and specifically the Schmidt-Buglead transition by measuring the decay rates and mold shifts of the photons and I told you how even though our model is integrable and therefore the scatterings are purely elastic it is still possible to get elastic scattering in the basis of the photons and we can use the integrability to obtain an exact expression for these decay rates so these are two works that we're wrapping up right now so stay tuned for the papers and thank you for listening Thank you Amir Okay, questions On slide six you had this division between insulating and superconductor so in my view the definition in insulating state that it's like a capacity boundary condition it's not really accurate because you can have very infrequent facelifts so basically it's still inductor and only infrequently facelifts so I think for this you need like a running phase completely but it's not needed for the insulating state I'm not sure I understood I mean okay, when So the question is whether I think the capacitance is the right model for the insulating state is that there? Yeah, okay Yeah, I mean the capacity does not take into account the facelifts that's correct but I mean so the fact that you have facelift means you have a well-defined charge, right? So if you have a well-defined charge so we can... If I understand the series correctly then if you have one facelift in one day then it's an insulator basically Well I mean, okay so if you think about it as a capacitive element so this means you have localized charge right, so you have localized cooper pairs so this would correspond to a phase which is not well-defined, right? So I think it does take into account I think this might be a bit more technical discussion I think it all goes back to time scales and the question is what you call an insulator Yes, thanks for the nice talk I would have a more experiment-oriented question In your second part in this whenever you use integrability how much of the... What is the assumption of the spectral function of the bath? Can you really take into account the plasma frequency as we call it or are you assuming a simple omic bath or can you comment on that? Thank you for the question so first of all we're working in the cooper pairs regime and this solution is exact in the limit where E c is infinity so we completely eliminate the now you still have some final bandwidth you still have some bandwidth to your system and we can extract this bandwidth the only energy scale we have in this solution from the integrability is the RG scale and the RG scale relates to the bandwidth so your Ej star is Ej over the bandwidth so you can extract it so basically you need the bandwidth in order to calculate this RG scale to put it into the calculation so you can extract it from perturbation theory and in fact you need to extract it so what you can do you can compare your exact solution with your perturbative solution and then extract the find what is this so here you have some coefficient which tells you exactly what you need to put into to account for this final bandwidth and you can find this coefficient from this comparison from comparing the exact solution to the perturbative solution so you get exactly the parallel from the exact solution but you don't know where to put it it can be shifted up or down and what tells you where to put it is exactly this bandwidth now one thing that is not taken into account here is temperature, this solution is for zero temperature that's also something we should note we're looking into some ways to extend this to to find the temperature you can do this using both answers but yeah, that's pretty much it okay other questions I think if not then we want to thank the speaker once more

It's one of the reasons I'm very good at what I do and calling these trades So these are all the trades from the live trading room in order to join the live trading room You must take the Golden Gap course. You must learn the system first in order to be eligible to join I do that class teaching my method once a month So if you're interested in that you can reach out to me And if you'd like more information you can email me at Melissa at the stocks wish calm 9 to 9 3200 gap You can also give me a call and I suggest following in Twitter Facebook youtuber Skype as well Right now it's starting season. It is a great time to trade There's four quarterly earnings seasons in the year and that is the time to make the money or the most money now There's trades in between. That's true But the most momentum and volatility happens in earning season and quarterly earnings and right now We've got a lot of the volatility in market and guess what that makes for great trading too so this is the month of January started off pretty strong here into the year and And went into you know basically earning season then started in February became busier and busier and busier in here and Twitter was a really nice one there and the seventh carb was good and Did a lot of trades here in the market this year for some reason the market has had so many gaps this year that have been quality gaps Dpz was a really nice winner in the 21st The 26th there nothing worked on that day every trade on that day was a loser HPQ was a nice gap Wtw couple trades in that in this in this year Cosh was a beautiful gap beautiful gap on the 8th and Stitch fix was a bust that didn't work at all Couple days in there are no trades when there's no good gaps. You don't do anything Nike was a nice one couple days. You could have done Nike actually and Len was a rough ride, but worked out Lulu was good again market trades. There's been trades in the market this year galore I'll tell you that Disney was an amazing amazing gap in the 9th and then Wtw was another nice one there on the 11th Disney again in the 12th. Disney was just a huge Disney is a gap of the year so far this year. I will say that When you when you go back and look at it gosh, there's so many trades in Disney Again market Apple big one in the 17th IBM did not work out Twitter was a nice one IRBT and most of these names you recognize most of the companies we trade have volume volatility You know the companies WDC, you know, I and TC, you know these corporations Apple was another winner in the first HLF did not work out spy winner cues winner again in the third Nike again and then going here into pretty much the the Month of May again winner winner winner spy winner spy winner ddd winner cues winner spy winner I mean so lo and behold this whole period here Has been extremely profitable really just even getting into May and a lot of the big earnings are already done We still have earnings, but I mean the big the big ones are done and we're still getting tens of great trades So getting back to what I was saying what's an advanced trader risk? I'd say around 2000 although some trade risks are less Give yourself an idea of 2000. I'm just saying to be conservative So again, if you would split your risk in half you could have achieved half of these results Which is still outstanding or even a quarter. Okay of these results Most people are looking to trade just to make some extra money But if you're thinking about doing it for a career It's really not a full-time job like you have to work 40 hours a week markets only open 9 30 to 4 And we're only looking to to focus on the morning moves I mean some of those are afternoon moves, but most of the trades are in the morning So you really only have to be available between 9 30 and 10 10 15 eastern time If you're interested in my strategy you want to learn my method and then join the live trading room and get these calls You can email me at Melissa at the stocks whoosh comm and sign up for my class again I teach the class once a month.

Volpe, paper first. Yeah, I know, I know. I agree, giant. A lot of sophomore slumps in baseball. J-Rod did not get off through a great start. Michael Harris not playing super well. Hey, Glenn Allen Hill, you never know, Ryan. Probably a Glenn Allen Hill Red or something. So what's like... Zach Brown to 150, blue paper. I'm trying to think of like, I guess it could be the same in any sport, but like what's the biggest thing about sophomore slumps in baseball? What do you mean? Like is it just not like, not seeing the ball and like making contact? Is it like... I think you're kind of coming off the high of your rookie year and you're starting to settle in a little bit more. And then you're kind of like realizing oh, like I have to keep this up all the time. Right, basically, basically. Yeah, so you're kind of like, I think that's kind of a big one. Is it common for like a sophomore slump and then like a third year like... Resurgence, yeah. Yeah, I see that happen. A lot of times that won't last the entire season either. Like a lot of times guys will get off the poor like, J-Rod got off to a really bad start. Yeah, that's what I was hearing. Yeah, that's also a big thing too, pitchers start to figure out how to pitch to you. That makes me a lot more comfortable reading that. Yeah, it's kind of like that's why I see a lot of sophomore slumps for quarterbacks too. Is once defenses start to learn. Yes, exactly, exactly. Yeah, it's very similar to like a pitcher in that, or I mean a quarterback in that sense. Robert Poisson to 250 on the purple chrome. I like Topps now cards. Topps nows are cool, man. Especially if you get like numbered ones, those are pretty sweet. Base auto Gisele de la Cruz for the Braves. Nice one there on the first. The second Gisele de la Cruz, it might be. We just got like a numbered card. Glen Allenhill, Bobby Whit, paper first. Anthony Volpe, chrome first. Robert Poisson. There's Yu Cheng to 499, nice one there. Sky blue paper for the Guardian still. Jo Adele, base. Sharon Durand, Sky blue paper. Josh Young to 499 for the Rangers. I know the tape, like the tape that teams have isn't just grainy like college interns filming minor league baseball games either. Tarara Encarnacion to 299, white speckle auto. Nice one there for the Marlins. Basically like so, these are paper versus the chrome. So like this is known as Bowman paper. So like this would be a Jeremy Peña paper first, their first paper versus if you go down to here, it's going to be chrome. So you have like Gus Varlin chrome first, like chrome versus the paper. See there's like a little bit of a difference. Just basically the finish more than anything. Yeah, Eskimo and Fez make a good point. There's a lot more tape on you too. Like there's a lot more stuff that other teams and scouts can watch. That's why it's so like with quarterbacks too. Because like you, I don't know if the highlights you've been watching from like minor league games, they're basically like college interns like on grainy cameras that are that are like filming the games versus like an MLB quality. Like yeah, the game is much different. You know, as much more you can diagnose, there's a lot more you can go into. You can slow things down, speed things up a lot better. Right. Um, same as me, the mag. Oh, no, you're good. Dran, chrome first. Did you mention the giant about the, about like the the Bowman logo up top? Like the first? Yeah, not the first, but like the Bowman, the B. What do you mean? So I've noticed, I don't know if you have, but like for chrome and paper to distinguish, if it's a blue B, it'll have chrome under it. If it's a red, it'll just have nothing and red paper. Oh yeah. I don't know if you ever noticed that. I did. I did not notice that until now. The call on that one. Yeah, that makes sense. That's a good point. I figured that out like a couple of days after top loving. Oh, wait a minute. There's a pattern here. That's insane, dude. What Feds just said. That's absolutely crazy.  You want me paying you? Chrome first.  Ever some prayer? And then guys, still eight to go on 10 box Tuesday. Let me drop you that link right now. Eight to go. Very cool mixer for 10 box. Have you guys ever heard of a YouTube channel called the slo-mo guys? Yes, actually. Okay, so one of the guys, Gavin, he's like in a lot of, he works for like research, he makes like a lot of gaming. Yeah, yeah, I know. So like the cameras that use like the phantoms are like, I think go up to like 50,000 frames a second, which I assume is probably what baseball uses. Oh, for sure. Ben Braemer, that is for the Nationals first base auto.  We got Teal Shimmer coming up. That is Shay Langlears, two 125, couple of Shay Langlears. Cards in this. Now in Oakland Athletic. I would honestly buy some Cedric Mold's guards if he wasn't as old as he was. Yeah, true. He's actually pretty young. He's not super young. Is he really that old? I think he's, he was old enough to make me like, I don't think I can find stuff. Yeah, potentially getting out of his prime. There's Jason Dominguez, not out of his prime, but he's in his prime now. He was like 5'6", like the day or two ago. He is Jeremy Pena, Chrome first. He's got a couple of serious, the show cards, or has had some serious show cards. Yeah, I believe it. I can see why. Oh, True Blue. Come on, baby, that is Eric Rivera. Nice one there for the Angels to 150, 28. Yeah, that makes sense. That puts you pretty much right in your prime in baseball, 27, 28. So like when would be, what age would it be like the time to stop collecting something? It depends a lot of times. Obviously if you really like the person, you don't care about monetary value, that's one thing. Yeah, I mean, it depends how good the guy is. Like if it's like Trout, Trout's in his 30s now, and it's like still expensive. Still, yeah, still like the guy. I guess like by that time though, you know if you're the guy. Yeah, I would sue. Yeah, right, 23, 25. Yeah, that's kind of like the time where you know how, to some degree, how good they're going to be. Right. Or what kind of role they're going to have on a team. True Blue coming up here. It's going to be, hey, Nico, whole-sizer to 150. Right, exactly. Got it. That is 100%, 100%. Especially if you're in triple A at 25. That's a sign that's like, okay. That's like, yeah. Good to know. Free Bruce consolation prize. I wish we sweet, be really sweet. Jeremy Pena first. What's up? There's Dad's Cameron 499, we're frackers. What's good? I said the show, I thought I was talking about the game. Oscar Gonzalez first for the Guardians. Like, why would that matter? Beisotto. Think of their Robert S. taking the nugget from 78. Appreciate you, Robert. That is awesome, my friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Anthony Volpe. Chrome first for the ex. Plus, plus, supply my own booze. Lupa. There in Shortridge. Yeah, that's true.    Right, makes sense. Simulation, my good friend, this whole life in birds aren't real. White speckle. Joe Genord to 299 for the Metz. White speckle on. I just learned, I need to learn how to read code then. So you can be like Neo. Bobby White Chrome first. I actually had one of my best games of the show today. Luis Castillo to 150. Did you? Me and Jay were playing. It wasn't because Jay was playing? I mean, yes, usually that's the reason. Jay carries me all the time. Purple, Byron, Laura to 250 for the Rangers. But we were down 4-0 in Jason Mingus on base Chrome. Jay got us back up to 4-2, and then I singled with one of my cards, and then he got out, and then I hit a homer and tied it up.  I was freaking out. Did you end up losing? No, I ended up losing. We ended up losing 5-4 because then I gave up a bunch of hits in the next thing. That was rough. But dude, they have the most broken pitching card in the game right now. It's so annoying. You don't have it? No. I mean, it's not, I mean, it's good, but everybody uses it. It's one of those things that like Oscar Gonzalez-Basau, Ben Bremer, Jaceel de la Cruz, Ruben Cardenas, Joe Genord, Joe Genord again to 2-99, as well as a Gerard and Carnation, Tariq Scubaugh, Atomic to 100, Quinn Cotton, Eric Rivera to 150, Troubleau. We had a Refractor, Jeremy Pena to 4-99 for the Astros, and then a Jordon Alvarez, 91 of 100 on the rookie Atomic Auto on card for the Astros again. That'll do it for the break, guys. Thanks again for the fill. Up next, we've got Tier 1. No, Sal-


Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime. We have a third video for you. This is late night edition Prime, although maybe you're watching this in the morning or the next day. We need to make a video because Nintendo has released their actual briefing they did with investors. We obviously went over the financial results earlier, but now we know some additional information. Nintendo does actually make their first legitimate mention of a next generation platform. So that is something that we need to talk about and why they mentioned it. We also need to talk about the audience for Nintendo Switch. I've been telling you guys for a long time that Nintendo Switch is not really primarily made for kids. In fact, a majority of the audience is adults. Am I right?  I mean, maybe you shouldn't listen to me anyways. I don't know, but we'll find out here because now we have updated figures on the average age groups that are playing Nintendo Switch. Yeah, and all that, we get an update on how many people are subscribed to Nintendo Switch online. So yeah, we got three really interesting things to talk about here. Before we do, I will remind you we do have a giveaway going on right now for PrimeTober. It's a Switch OLED bundle. So yes, it'll be a Switch OLED. There'll be other items in there as well. We'll announce those items as the weeks go on. To enter, all you gotta do is be subscribed. Oh, and by the way, the winner gets to choose a charity of their choice after we vet that charity to donate $100 to. Like, they don't do it. We donate $100 to that charity. So yeah, pretty, pretty cool there. Oh, by the way, smash that like button, everybody. Can we get this video to, I don't know, 500 likes? I think we can do 500, let's keep it realistic. 500 likes. I don't know what happens if we get there, but I appreciate it. All right, so first up we have this graph. Woo-hoo, look at this graph. All right, so this graph came from their briefing and this talks about the current state of Nintendo Switch and the age distribution of annual users. You will notice around the age groups of 10, 11, 12, 13. Right in there, there is a little bit of a bump, but look at the average age group around 22, 21, 22. Yeah, that is the biggest, largest group of people playing Nintendo Switch are in their college years. But if you really look at this and you go back to say, you know, 19, 18, 19, that's also a larger group than any other child group in the United States. You're legally an adult at 18. So it certainly looks like to me, 70 to 80% of Nintendo Switch players are adults, at least according to the letter of the law anyways. You'll see that, I mean, even that 10-year-old age group or I guess, I guess probably the 11-year-old age group that's the biggest for children. I mean, that doesn't get matched by adults until around age 45, 44. So the peak child group is matched by the 45-year-old. Everything from 18 to 45 is a larger audience than any child group. So yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say the Nintendo Switch audience is primarily played by adults. So take that for what you will. Nintendo did mention this to be the case back in 2018, but it hasn't been updated since. And it's interesting that Shintaro Furukawa chose to talk about the audience now. They point out that this shows a diverse audience, which it does, by the way, 18 to, what is it, all the way up to 60 for the adults is like that's a really wide range. But even when you look at the children, it really starts to take off around age eight or nine in the child sector. So it falls off a little bit in the teenage years. You guys know teenagers. We gotta play the hardcore games, call a duty on or whatever the case might be. But once they get out of those years and get more, I guess, mature, they seem to be a lot more interested in Nintendo platform. So yeah, this to me, despite Nintendo talking about how this shows a wide range of diversity, it also shows that yeah, most people that play Switch are adults. So I don't know what we're gonna do about the fact that Nintendo's reputation is that they make games for kids. I know it's mostly based on the art direction of their games, but most of the people playing those games are adults. So is art direction really an indicator of anything? I don't know. I feel like it's time to put that one to bed. Let's get to the next point that we learned here and that is how many people are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online? I found this to be really interesting because obviously I've been really chastising Nintendo Switch Online as a service, but it's a service that isn't going to go anywhere anytime soon. There's a really long document here. Most of the stuff is just stuff that we already know about and isn't really that interesting, but I do find the total number of people subscribed interesting. So it is 32 million people to date are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online. Although this doesn't necessarily include people that are also subscribed to the expansion pack, but the base Nintendo Switch Online service is at 32 million and continues to grow as a Switch shows. Now that makes up roughly a third of the audience that plays Nintendo Switch and that to me is rather interesting when we just consider Nintendo's first ever subscription service being Nintendo Switch Online. So I think that's interesting. Obviously they talk at length about the benefits of the service and all that. Pretty much stuff that I've been blasting over the years, but still it is growing and it isn't going to go anywhere and I do have some good news, potential good news here about the Nintendo Switch games. When you talk about the NES, the SNES, N64 Genesis and the general services of Nintendo Switch Online, there might be some good news for the future. We'll get into that in a moment because Nintendo had a graph. They threw this graph up about the future outlook and you'll see obviously they talk about the integrated hardware software of Nintendo DS and Wii conveniently that are just skipping the Wii U and the 3DS. I'm not really surprised the Wii U and 3DS happened to not be that well integrated and on top of that are the worst selling platforms in their respective space. 3DS is Nintendo's worst handheld of all time sales wise. We use the worst console of all time sales wise. Obviously virtual boy, people can make arguments for that but yeah, here's what I find interesting about this graph. First off, it mentions a next gaming system. So whatever Nintendo has coming next, their next generation system, Nintendo's working on it. It's on the graph. If it's on the graph, it's in the works. Not that we should be shocked that it is in the works, but it is and it's gonna come out before 2100 because it goes to 2000 and XX.  So yeah, it's gonna be pretty cool to speculate on what that is. Nintendo doesn't talk a lot about it but what I find really interesting here is that they have the Nintendo account system going from the Switch to the next-gen platform and the value added services of that account system. So this would be like the expansion pack and all that expanding as we get to the next platform. This to me is really interesting because Nintendo doesn't go into too many details on it when I actually read their presentation. It says like we seek a virtuous cycle with our integrated hardware software business and the provisions and services of content based on Nintendo accounts in which the touch points are created with ever more consumers and strengthen with established long-term mutually positive relationships. And then they just go into basically how people can be happy with these services. But what they don't really note and I feel like this graph really illustrates is that Nintendo's planning to bring the Nintendo account and all the services forward to the next system. This suggests that we're not gonna see what happened what we've seen in the past. In the past with things like virtual console it's been reset on every system it's come out on. That appears to not be the case here. It feels like everything that they have now will still be relevant and there on the next platform. That is very, very good and does make it people probably feel more comfortable with long-term investments in Nintendo Switch online and obviously the expansion pass and whatever else comes next because you know these services are still going to be around on the next platform. Now obviously we hope these services get better and we hope that Nintendo improves on things but it does appear that like, hey, we're not gonna get like a reset on these services heading to the next system. We're gonna be there day one and they should just continue to expand. So we'll have to wait and see but I'm pretty, pretty stoked to find out what is next. So yeah folks, thank you so much for tuning in. That's the video. I needed to get this out to you guys because I feel like this is really interesting and important information about the current state and future state of Nintendo Switch and Nintendo platforms. Yeah, you guys are amazing as always. I hope to catch you guys tomorrow night. We'll be doing a live stream. We'll be another video at least tomorrow as well but I hope to catch you guys at our next live stream. It should be a good time. A nice little Friday capper tomorrow. So you guys are awesome. Stay smiling. Tell someone that you love them and have a great day.


This is our culture. What's the next thing? Teachers, teachers, remember your teacher used to come to school she had a big old nice modestly dress, big old dress on. Hi students, anybody here what these teachers are doing now? They doing monkey double backflips all over their students. Crazy amount of what's happening. A lot of them, this is a teacher by the way, this popular meme is a liberal professor. She's a teacher. Do you realize when you send your kid to the public school indoctrination camp, that's what I call it, 93% of their primary school teachers are female. 93% from kindergarten to sixth grade, 93%.  God forbid you don't have to go through a custody battle. You're remaining with your wife. But you send them to school, 93% of the people that they're going to get in contact to encounter are women. Today's modern teacher are young women, like this. They've been trained in the public school indoctrination camp themselves about how to make kids the victim. They're not teaching arithmetic, they're teaching victim studies.  I'm like why is she talking to you about Trump? How did that conversation come up with your fifth grade teacher? She has no place in the school, but that's what they're doing. When they get to high school, the chances get a little bit better, 76% of the teachers that they're going to be around are female, 76%. More women exposed to women, more women exposed to socialism, Marxism, so you have less of a chance. When they get to college, 31% of the college professors are female. So let's focus on academic studies. If you look at the test results of kids, they're not performing very well. There's no emphasis in that. There's really no need for it anymore. You can make money without a college education for the most part. But in regards to the socialism that is going on in these universities, the gaslighting of the kids, talking about issues related to social justice, which is social division, it's prominent. How many men are in here fighting for these kids? You've been at work all day. Your kids been on that screen way more than they've seen you. I want to have children, coach. I'm just telling you what you're about to come against. You've got to be willing to be able to be the dominant over all of these things. If you're not, I'm going to just say good luck. Good luck. Not only that, your co-parent selection skills, your mate selection skills are going to have to be perfect. What do they call it? Coronavirus? This coronavirus. The teachers in Los Angeles Unified School District, their union decided when they said it was safe to open the schools, they said, well as a union, we don't want to return to school until you meet our demands. You think they would have said, we would like more fathers to be present. We would like the kids to have better exposure to books. You think they would have said, we want kids to be able to have a great learning environment when they leave this. You know what they said they wanted as a list of demands? We want to defund the police. We want increased taxes on the wealthy. We want implementation of Medicare for all. This is what they're focused on. They're not focused on your kid. They're focused on indoctrinating your kid.  Some teachers said we should just get rid of history altogether. Guys, if you know anything about history, the people who lack knowledge of history are normally doomed to repeat it. They are covering up their misdeeds, their hiding things. This is what you have to deal with in the school. So again, I volunteered at my kid's school to be able to see them more. I saw nothing but women. The new name was the women. The launch ladies, women, teachers assistants, women, PTA board members, all of them were women except for me. Special Ed, etc., etc. So, you think you're just going to go to work and leave your kid at the public school indoctrination camp and all as well? No, they're creating more division in order to subvert your authority. You have to be able to counteract that. Who's the next person you're going to leave them over to? Oh, there she is. Mom.  Okay? Look at that. That's more than I would have thought. That's more than I would have thought. Okay? See, the myth of single motherhood has been exposed. I gave you the statistics already. Kids are failing in that dynamic. It is a recipe for disaster.


I Like this SPR without using right now and they're pushing That's just that's just unsanitary, bro We just get off and let them win no get on it. Just let him win.


I know we should have done that with that big an audience I couldn't say it again it wasn't going to say no comment that's too important okay secretary Schultz did give rather a bleak news conference in Moscow it seemed to have struck out coming back empty-handed that may or may not be true maybe you're getting private information otherwise but is it so and do you think that the Soviet are being very hard-line and what are your maximum and minimum goals for this summit what do you really think you can get out of it oh I haven't Helen I haven't tried to pin it down to success or failure in terms of that kind we're going there to try and basically eliminate if we can or certainly reduce the distrust between our two countries we have to live in the world together and it is that distrust that causes the problems and causes the situation with regard to arms negotiations so I cited to our Russian friends when they were in here the other day that statement it isn't mine I wish it were but a statement that I read in the press the other day that summed it up so succinctly and that is that nations do not distrust each other because they're armed they are armed because they distrust each other well I will be presenting the same thing that I told those others my concept of the strategic defense system has been one that if and when we finally achieve what our goal is and that is a weapon that is effective against incoming missiles not a weapon a system that's effective against incoming weapons missiles then rather than add to the distrust in the world and appear to be seeking the potential for a first strike by rushing to implement my concept has always been that we sit down with the other nuclear powers with our allies and our adversaries and see if we cannot use that weapon to bring about the elimination of or that defensive system for the elimination of nuclear weapons and that certainly I will discuss there and try to impress upon them how firmly we believe in this I don't think the negotiation of facts and figures about which weapon and how many and numbers and so forth of in weaponry should take place at the summit I think that belongs where we have already put it and that is with the arms control negotiators that are already in Geneva that's their kind of figuring that should go on we shouldn't be doing that with all of the things we have to discuss at the other at the summit meeting at that meeting there are a number of things as some of them I hinted at in the speech in the UN regional situation in other words try to as I say eliminate the distrust that exists yes because the other things would automatically follow considering what you told the Soviet journalists when they were here last week there seems to be some discrepancy between your your comments to them and your comments today about what what this this what the conditions for deployment would be could you explain it to us now yes I could because I have already explained that to our allies at the United Nations and this was the first misunderstanding that I have seen about it I went through the transcript of that interview and I mentioned it three or four times through there in the transcript and I think it was someone just dumped to a false conclusion when they suggested that I was giving a veto to the Soviets over this that in other words if if that thing that I've just described to you that meeting took place and we couldn't get satisfaction that I would say well then we we can't deploy this defensive system I couldn't find any place that where that was anything but an erroneous interpretation of what I'd been saying obviously if this took place we had the weapon I keep using that term it's a defensive system we had a defensive system and we could not get agreement on their part to eliminate the nuclear weapons if we would have done our best and no we would go ahead with deployment but I even though as I say that would then open us up to the charge of achieving the capacity for a first strike we don't want that we want to eliminate things of that kind and that's why we frankly I think that any nation offered this under those circumstances that I've described would see the value of going forward remember that the Soviet Union has already stated its wish that nuclear weapons could be done away with you said you say today that you would go ahead with deployment if you if you had the system and there weren't international agreement on mutual deployment the other day you said that you would go ahead you that deployment would be only on condition of what you call disarmament well this this misunderstanding it seems to me on whoever's part has caused a lot of confusion does that does that disrupt your negotiations with Gorbachev and and what can he expect when you have said this to his journalists and now you're telling us something different no I'm not telling something different I'm saying that reading that transcript of what I told to the journalists someone has jumped to a to an erroneous conclusion I don't find anything in there maybe it's because I have talked about this with so many individuals as I've said the UN and all that maybe having more of an understanding of it I see it more clearly than some others might but I have not and I've had others now that look at this transcript and they don't get that interpretation that I'm giving anyone a veto over this defensive system you are more you have been more flexible in the way you have you have talked about the SDI you have not said that it could not be a bargaining chip as you used to say very often before is there are you more flexible do you want your message to be seen as more flexible is there room for compromise or well this is the point where where flexibility I think is is not involved the demands that have been made on us already with regard to arms control are that we stop the research and any effort to create such a defensive system and I have said that there's no way that we will give that up that this means too much to the world and to the cause of peace if it should be possible to have an effective defensive system I've in discussions here in the office I've likened it many times to the gas mask 1925 when all the nations of the world after World War one and the horror of poison gas in that war when it was over all the nations got together in Geneva and ruled out the use of poison gas but we all had gas masks and no one did away with their gas masks well this in a sense is how I see what this could be the defense that would it would be so practical and sensible for any country including the Soviet Union to say why go on building and maintaining and modernizing these horrible weapons of destruction if there is something that can be implemented that makes them useless Secretary Schultz held a press conference in Iceland today on his way back to you and with him was a senior official not identified but we can guess who it is who held a background briefing for reporters and he said that the impression that the American delegation got during the recent this weekend's talks in Moscow was that mr. Gorbachev was concerned that US policy was influenced by a small circle of anti-Soviet extremists now if mr. Gorbachev said that to you personally how would you respond this president I would respond with the truth as clearly as I could annunciate it this is one of the things that I talk about for feel with regard to the distrust that the Soviet Union tends to be distrustful and suspicious that that things that are presented to them are perhaps concealing some ulterior motive and I want to discuss with him the record our own record that if this were true that if the United States was guided by some desire to one day assault the Soviet Union why didn't we do it when we were the most powerful military nation on earth right after World War two our military was at its height we had not had the great losses than in the millions that the other nations had had that had been there longer our industry was intact we hadn't been bombed to rubble as all the rest had and we were the only ones with the ultimate weapon the nuclear weapon we could have dictated the whole world and we didn't we set out to help the whole world and the proof of it is today that our erstwhile enemies and there could never have been more hatred in the world and there was between the enemies of World War two and ourselves there today our staunchest allies and yet here is a former ally there are Americans buried and in the soil of of the Soviet Union that fought side by side against these same enemies and so I think we can prove by the record that any fair-minded person would have to see that we did not have expansionism in mind we never took an inch of territory as a result of the victory of World War two or of World War one for that matter and on the other hand to point out to him why we are concerned about them that their expansionist policy is very evident the gunfire hasn't stopped for a moment in Afghanistan the we could name all the other spots where they or their surrogate troops are in there so this is my hope that I can convince him if it's a reasonable man and every indication that he is would see that if we both want peace there'll be peace Mr. President your remark that you think Mr. Gorbachev is a reasonable man brings me to another question I assume that you have been doing a lot of reading about Mr. Gorbachev the man and Gorbachev the leader of the Soviet Union and that perhaps you've even seen some videotapes of him in action what sort of an opponent do you expect to face across that table in Geneva if I would think that any Soviet leader who reaches the office that he holds would be a formidable opponent if he does not subscribe to the party philosophy he wouldn't be in that position yes yes have you ordered the investigation of the CIA handling of and have you gone even further to order investigation of handling by any agency of defectors per se well right now the Justice Department is investigating the INF and their INS I mean their handling of the Medved incident down in New Orleans to see just what led to all of that I have to say that this coming as they do together these three particular incidents you can't rule out the possibility that this might have been a deliberate ploy or maneuver here you have three separate individuals in three different parts of the world who defected and then recanted and of their own free will said they wanted to return to the Soviet Union and in every one of the three incidents we insisted on and did secure the last word the final meeting with each one of them to make sure that they understood completely that they were welcome here that we would provide safety and sanctuary for them here in the United States and in every incident that was repudiated and we had to say that of their own free will as far as we could see and for whatever reason they wanted to go back and is this a sort of a disinformation plan to work as I say you can't there's no way that you can prove that that isn't so on the other hand there's no way that you can prove that it is so you you just have to accept that we did our best and view of their expressed desires and then they did what other defectors before them have not done and they I think here and there there's been one or two that that went back so you can't rule out personal desires homesickness whatever it might be I'm sure that as has been suggested by some in discussing this that people who go through that must be under quite some strain and it must be a traumatic experience to step forth from the land of your birth and denounce it and say you want to live someplace else in another country but there's no way to establish either they honestly did feel they wanted to defect and then change their minds or the possibility is there that this could have been a deliberate ploy leaning toward the ladder that we that there has been something very systematic no I just maybe I spent more time explaining why I didn't think you could rule out no no I no I said there is this suspicion that has been voiced by more people than me and all I have to say is we just have to live with it because there's no way we can prove or disprove it do you think that that makes the information that he did give the CIA worthless or perhaps even you know that it was misinformation well actually the information that he provided was not anything newer sensational it was it was pretty much information already known to the CIA really so so that would tend to support your thought that perhaps this whole thing was cooked if you want to take it that way I'm not going to comment on that one way or the other would you say you're perplexed by it yes I think anyone is perplexed by this I think it's awfully easy for any America to be perplexed by anyone that could live in the United States would prefer to live in Russia one more time that there's no way to tell you the way you said about four times but the answer questions to the summit preparation what do you expect from the summit on the human rights issue you have been very cautious on the human rights issue in the Soviet Union is it because you sense that there might be something positive coming out and you don't want to I have always felt that there are some subjects that should remain in confidence between the leaders discussing them in this world of public life and politics if you try to negotiate on the front page some items you have almost put the other fella in a corner where he can't give in because he would appear in the eyes of his own people as if he's taking orders from an outside government and the greatest success that I think has been had in in this particular area has been with predecessors of mine who have discussed these subjects privately and quietly allowed to have medical treatment in the West or you think it's just something to diffuse the issue I don't know but I welcome it it's long overdue and we're pleased to see it happen but what I'm trying let me point out also this does not mean that human rights will not be a subject for discussion they will be very much so they're very important to the people of our country and in their view of a relationship with with the Soviet Union but I don't think that it is profitable to put things of this kind out in public where any change in policy would be viewed as a succumbing to another power Mr. President talking of spies some months ago I forget the date in one of your Saturday radio speeches you said there were too many Soviet and East European diplomats in this country and too many spies among them and you said in effect perhaps precisely that you were going to cut these numbers down brief us on what has happened since then well we've we're having discussions about that and reducing numbers we recognize that when we do anything of this kind it's there's going to be retaliation but what we're trying to do is to simply arrive at agreements that will be mutual and with regard to reductions of of staff and numbers in each other's countries when you say you're having discussions you mean with with the Soviet Union and East European countries yes this has been done at a ministerial level let me simply say no secretary Weinberger isn't trying to sabotage anything of the kind he's been most helpful in all of the meetings that we have had on this and all of the talk that we unhappily read about feuds and so forth again this is a distortion or misinterpretation of my desire for what I've always called cabinet type government where I want all views to be frankly expressed because I can then make the decision better if I have all those viewpoints and the fact that we have debate and discussion in that regard in that way should not be construed as feuds and battles and so forth I want all sides okay in public and on the front page well not the way it's been portrayed in the front page it's been portrayed well but it been portrayed not in the spirit in which I just spoke of it it's been portrayed as animus and anger and so forth and it isn't that kind it's it's the devil advocate type of thing where I I hear all sides now with regard to Gaddafi let's just say we don't have a very personal relationship well you're going to try to overthrow him no we no comment on no comment on are you trying to overthrow him I never like to talk about anything that might be doing being done in the name of intelligence to the long-range success of any progress that you make at the summit why won't you permit the release of the test results from your periodic examinations to reassure the public that there's no recurrence of the cancer well for heaven's sakes first of all that term the recurrence of cancer you've given me an opportunity to give an answer I've wanted to give for some time I'm deeply appreciative of the concern of people and the all the letters of condolence and good wishes and so forth that I've received but I feel the people have been doing this under a little misapprehension the whole thing has been portrayed as that I was a sufferer of cancer I had cancer and then an operation took place and and now I have I've had a good recovery no the truth of the matter was I had a polyp it is there are two kinds of polyps in the intestines and one kind if allowed to go on eventually becomes cancers and then would spread I had a polyp removed it is true that it within itself had begun to develop a few cancer cells but it was still a self-contained polyp the only way that type of polyp can be removed is by major surgery so in reality the only real illness that I suffered in any way and at any time was the incision and my healing was only not a healing of cancer mine was a healing of a 10 or 12 inch incision so I'm delighted to get this out and on the table before you now the examination yes they gave me a complete schedule and they said we will want to do this down the the line periodically and then it gets farther and farther apart as time goes on it would mainly be an examination periodically to see if any further polyps of that kind if one could start I suppose another could start and then if so you'd want to get rid of them the examinations that I have had are also spaced out like this last time are part of the kind of annual physical that I've had for many years long before I came here where once I used to go into the hospital for a few days and have all the whole physical done well now we do it in bits and parts so this last one mainly I went in and they simply examined the incision one see how the healing was coming and then I had some x-rays of the lungs which had nothing to do with the operation but that are normal part of the of the just general physical that I have now there will be another trip there coming up in the near future and that will be the first trip for a look at at the intestines for the possibility of polyps and so when the doctors come out and when the doctors they say the same thing to me that has been said to you maybe I'll have them say it to you instead of me repeating it when they stand there in front of me and say you had 100% recovery everything is just fine as healthy as you could possibly be I go out and tell you that and you think I'm covering something up I just believe they do the examination to see to check if there's another problem well the only test is they say to you there wasn't one or there is one and whichever way it comes out so it's a case of verbalizing there isn't any report to be given you that oh incidentally I also had had the the blood check taken this time also with the x-rays but that was done here a few days before not at Bethesda I take a little blood see what it is and and that would be done this would have been done now even without any physical examination they always do this prior to a trip abroad make sure that they've they know what's there and in the event of an accident or anything they know what could be needed we were talking about Gaddafi but do you think the US should should give some aid to the rebels in Angola as it is doing in in Nicaragua or in Afghanistan we have believed we were embarked on a plan of trying to negotiate the Cubans out of Angola and the independence of Namibia and this also involved that in that there would be a reconciliation between Unite the Sevimbi forces and the present government which more or less was installed by the presence of the Cuban troops now with the elimination of the Clark amendment we are still most supportive of that we believe a settlement in Angola should involve Unite and the people of that country have a choice in making a decision as the government they wanted to have and so all of this is going forward so there's no you don't envision a covertade to rebels in Angola because of the the Clark amendment as you mentioned I think being no I think there's some areas where we can be of help to them how do you feel on the anniversary of your election well I feel just fine I wish the Congress would have a sharp memory of it as they're discussing tax reform and some other things you have any particular goals for the next three years oh yes and you you know most of them tax reform a program that will set us even longer than three years on a course for the elimination of the deficit then the achievement of the balanced budget amendment so that once and for all we'll be free of this and I've had one tucked away in the back of my mind for a long time but once we can do that then I would like to see us start on the reduction of the national debt well then would you be told the house that's right to the house version of the Graham Rudman as it stands now you know Helen I never comment on whether I will or will not veto until it separate tax increases well I won't get there before I'll tell you visit tomorrow night I'm sure I'm sure she will and I'll see you in the next send me to get up and press off the end of the delivery thing I'll wait so I like to wear and you go to the side where to go kind of revved up I'm kind of looking forward to this family it's not this person around thank you sir
