An American tech giant in the arms of an alleged Chinese spy. Now, Jensen Huang and Nvidia are at the center of a national security crisis.

Host Mary Louise Kelly talks to National Security Correspondent Greg Myre and Pentagon Correspondent Tom Bowman about what the scandal could mean for the AI race and what was the world’s largest company. And they discuss where the Iran war stands after this week’s failed attempt to impeach Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth.

A note to listeners: a few weeks ago, Mary Louise announced that she is stepping down from her role as host of NPR’s All Things Considered and Sources & Methods to pursue new adventures. She’ll still be a contributor to NPR, but no longer a host. Thank you for spending these past 15 months with us.

We don’t know what the future holds. To be the first to know what comes next, make sure you are still subscribed to this podcast feed.
