Bill Gates Interview: The Questions We All Want the Answers to.

Bill Gates' name came up in the Epstein files again, and this is a new interview where he's asking the questions everybody wants to know the answers to. And I'm going to take you through this almost sentence by sentence so you'll know exactly what's going on from a body language and behavior perspective. Let's take a look.

Part of that issue of trust brings me to Jeffrey Epstein. I want to know what your relationship with him was.

He's prepared for this question. He locks eyes with the interviewer and he has that small little smile that we get when we tighten our lips. And the entire interview has led up to this first question about Epstein.

As he starts his answer, we see a single shoulder shrug. Yeah. I met Jeffrey in 2011. And that lets us know there's not a lot of confidence with that answer. The focus was always he knew a lot of very rich people. It doesn't necessarily mean it's deceptive, but there is a lack of confidence. Now, pay attention to all the small tiny little movements here. Those let us know his stress level is rising. Now, this is a prepared answer. He didn't know this guy was going to ask this question, but I'm sure he assumed that was what was going to happen. And we know this because his voice volume is loud and it's solid and it doesn't waver at all. He says 'ah' a lot. That's his 'uh' basically. And he does it all the time. So it's sort of in his baseline.

Now let's take a look at his illustrators. Those are getting a little bit out of hand. When we illustrate, it's our brain emphasizing specific words and phrases. Now, his don't land where they're supposed to. They're supposed to land on the word or land on the phrase, and they don't. Then we see him adapt by adjusting his glasses. And adapting is when you try to get rid of that built-up stress and tension. We do it in all kinds of ways. There's self-soothing gestures we do. And for some people, adjusting their glasses or their hat, that's an adapter. It helps them relax a little bit.

There's a whole lot of movement going on here. His cadence speeds up, his voice tone lowers just a little bit, and we see lots of shoulder shrugs. You know, in retrospect, that was a dead end. And I've said many times, but I'll say again, I was foolish to spend time with him. I was one of many people who regret ever knowing him. Now, this is important information for him to get across. So, obviously, there's a little stress that comes with that. Now, that last shoulder shrug, it's huge, and that lets us know he's finished. It's almost like one of those balloons when you blow it up and you let it go and all the air is blowing out. And that last nanosecond when all the air goes out, it goes super fast from all the pressure inside. That's what's happening here.

You've no doubt seen the allegations including some of them from the last 24 to 48 hours. Are they true?

Now he was ready for this one as well. His eyes are locked with the interviewers and most people think that when you break eye contact that means you're lying. Well, guess what? We know now from studies that's just the opposite of that. Their brain wants to make sure you believe them and they want to make sure you believe them. So they keep looking at you and they're looking for any little clue of a facial expression that shows doubt as well. Just like me and you, for years they've heard that the person who breaks eye contact is showing you a cue of deception. And now you know that's not true. Now we also see some engagement in the brow. Not much, but what is there is concern and that's normal for a situation like this. Now, pay attention one more time to all the small tiny movements you're seeing. There are tons of them and all the head shakes and nods and bobbling. That's called the bobble head. Now, his brain knows he should be doing one of those, but he's doing all of them. Now, let's talk about his blink rate for a second. It's very low, and that's because his brain wants to make sure he's being believed, like we talked about before. That's another red flag that tells us something's not right here.

In this one, his voice tone and volume go up. This is another red flag for stress, especially with those head shakes and the huge shoulder shrug there at the end.

Now, his voice tone and volume are even higher. His brain wants to get this answer over with as fast as possible. Even his 'ah' is shorter. So what we've seen so far lets us know his stress level is super high. However, he's hiding it well with his facial expressions because we don't see much there at all. We don't see any panic, no fear, no grief, nothing.

Notice how his illustrators have all but disappeared. And after he finishes that last one, he almost slaps his leg. And when he does start illustrating again, they don't land where they're supposed to. Then he says he's apologizing. You know, every minute I spent with him, I regret and I, you know, apologize that I did that. Why is he apologizing? If he didn't do anything wrong or doesn't think he did anything wrong, there's no reason to apologize. You know, every minute I spent with him, I regret and I, you know, apologize that I did that.

The problem is some of the things that he has sent and some of the information about other people that has come up in those files has been true.

Now, this is a good one. It doesn't look like much, but we see him clench his jaw when the interviewer says 'other people'. He knows that's what gives the impression he's been lying about all this for years. And he has that odd, goofy look on his face while he's trying to stay still while the question's being asked.

Why would he do this and say this about you, do you think?

It looks like his illustrators have a mind of their own. He just sticks his hand in the air and moves around a little bit, but it doesn't emphasize anything. Now, this is a good question. And notice how high pitched the 'ah' is compared to the others. And notice how much he's moving around. He looks like a little kid who's getting in trouble for lying. From a body language and behavior perspective, this doesn't look good at all. Not even a little bit.

Let me ask you something. How do you feel knowing there are data brokers out there making billions and billions of dollars from selling people's personal information, most of the time without their consent and eroding privacy in the process? And what really bothers me is they're not exactly rushing to stop the scammers and spammers and stalkers from buying that information. You know, they're doing it. You get those emails and phone calls and texts, too. And most people don't realize how common it is until it affects them. So here's the problem. We're all using those apps and services that are convenient, but those things harvest a whole lot of data. And it's frustrating knowing the solution is usually presented as a trade-off. You either go completely off the grid or you accept that your privacy becomes a product. I don't like that trade-off and I don't think you should have to accept it. Now, if you or somebody you know has ever dealt with identity theft, fraud, hacking, scams, or being doxed, you know how invasive that feels. And it's not just annoying. It can be expensive. It can be time-consuming, not to mention unsettling, because it reminds you of how much of your information is out there. That's why I'm glad today's sponsor is Aura. Aura helps protect your privacy by identifying data brokers selling your information. Instead of you spending hours and hours trying to opt out everywhere, Aura handles the hard part by automatically removing your information from those sites and keeping it off. Now, there are other services that do parts of this, but Aura includes more features for the same price. For example, if your personal information shows up on the dark web, Aura sends you real-time fraud alerts for credit and banking. They have 24/7 monitoring setup to keep your identity secure, plus a secure VPN, antivirus, a password manager, and more. And if anything goes wrong, Aura has US-based support available 24/7. They also include $5 million in identity theft insurance with US fraud experts ready to help around the clock. So try Aura for free for 14 days at aura.com/cott. In those two weeks, Aura will get to work scrubbing your personal information off those broker sites. I'm not leaving myself vulnerable, and you shouldn't either. So you go get that two-week free trial. I'll put a link below.

Again, his illustrators are all over the place, they're everywhere but where they should be. And of course, we know from the photos we saw earlier, he did meet women there, and that's why his behavior is in question. Now, as a side note, and I think we all know this, his wife didn't believe him either. And I'm going to break down her new interview right after I finish with this one.

Is it frustrating to you, given what you've said, that this is now happening?

That's just one of those platitudes that really successful people use when they're talking about other really successful people. But notice he's talking about himself in the third person. People should, you know, hold people who are successful to a very high bar. And one more time, he's moving around really quickly with those small little quick nervous moves. This doesn't look good at all.

Okay, we always finish with this answer because when he finishes talking, he accidentally slaps his leg. And that's his limbic system again, fully accelerated like that balloon we talked about earlier when it runs out of air. And at the very end, there's a whole lot of energy dispelled. So, his hand goes down really quickly and makes that slapping sound. They're going to be closely scrutinized. Okay, that is adapting writ large. They're going to be closely scrutinized. Okay, so there you have it. What do you think? Let me know in the comments. If you have any questions about body language, just email me body language questions at Gmail and I'll get right on it.
