Just The Chip

The new reality hasn’t fully settled in here in Washington, DC, but things are starting to happen. People are making moves.

In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:

• The firing of Susie Wiles;

• The promotion of Stephen Miller;

• The impeachment of Pete Hegseth;

• How to read the Kremlinology of it all.

Then, holy hell, Jensen Huang! The Nvidia CEO and Trump fluffer apparently carried on a long affair with a Chinese spy who was directing U.S. manufactured A.I. technology around export controls. And Trump knew. And he did nothing. But it’s maybe even worse than that. Is this the scandal that can unite Democrats behind a Trump accountability agenda? What other irons in the fire should they have? And can they get on the same page with each other, so resistance Dems don’t feel like they’re going too easy on Trump, and frontline Dems don’t think they’re doing too much partisan fighting?
