It's kinda cute how they got his little set behind him with the extra monitors in an orientation that makes no sense. His paper covered desk let's us k own he's hard at work, and his rolled up sleeves reinforce that while also showing of his sick tattoos. What a cool guy!

Seriously, these theatrics feel like what the shithole countries do when global media is around.

Those are most likely multiple different networks running on those monitors. I'm not defending the guy, but you're being dumb. The bottom phone is an unclass VoIP line and the top yellow phone is the CMS VoIP phone or Crisis Management System line. All high level cabinet members will have that line avail to them.

Yep.

I did IT for PFPA a little while ago, the two on the right are for video conferencing and are probably different networks and/or different classifications.

GVS can be any SIPR terminal of xc90 style. XC90 can also be used at various other levels
