all this and that. but there is actually a newer version. it's called the usbc, which is reversible, that just hasn't been widely adopted yet. this man who invented it is apologizing. >> sometimes i go to the computer and i just stare at it and i look and see which side has the gap, then i flip it that way. >> my eyes still don't know. i'll look and i'm like -- >> a hammer trying to get that thing -- >> a hammer, knocking it in there. >> he was, he was. >> to get those secret files for my plan. >> in the computer. hey, so this happened. if you saw our big friday summer show, we were celebrating the start of summer. >> summer! >> 11:54 a.m. eastern time on friday. well, remember, north of the equator, summer. below it, winter. >> oh! >> here in antarctica, workers marked the winter by plunging into the ice in swimwear. it was 9 degrees below, the temperature of the water minus

city and his leadership. >> you're running on your record, so how can you do that when you have so much division at home, yet you claim you can unify the country? >> well, we've got a lot challenges at home and these issues aren't easy. part of how you earn your paycheck as a mayor is to walk into no-win situations. we've done a lot of work, we've got a lot of work to do together. >> buttigieg says despite the anger in south bend, he will attend the first democratic debate in miami. he'll be part of thursday night's debate. federal investigators will be in hawaii looking into the repair and inspection records of the skydiving plane involved in a deadly crash. the aircraft went down friday and burst into flames shortly after takeoff. all 11 people on board lost their lives. the same plane suffered a lot of damage in another accident three years ago. the ntsb will investigate repairs made to the plane and whether it was airworthy. overnight we learned a french citizen was the pilot. he would have turned 43 today. a arr s accident near
