| 0:00.0 | Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for political eclectics. I'm Ravi Gupta. And in a bit, we're going to hear from Stephen Witt, who wrote The Thinking Machine, which is all about Nvidia and Shenzhen Huang. This is easily one of my favorite interviews in a while. You're going to learn a lot, not just about probably the most important tech company in the world. But I think one of the most fascinating leaders we've had, |
| 0:21.7 | not just in private sector, but generally. Like, I am absolutely fascinated by Jensen Huang and |
| 0:28.2 | what makes them tick. And those of you've been longtime listeners, it's like I have been fairly |
| 0:33.7 | critical of tech leaders generally, not just from a public policy perspective, but just |
| 0:38.4 | their culture, the way they carry themselves. But Jensen, to me, is an admirable figure. And you'll |
| 0:45.0 | find out more about why when I get to that interview. In the meantime, that interview, I think, |
| 0:50.5 | is so good that I don't want to crowd it out. But obviously obviously with everything going on in Minnesota, it's worth saying a few words. |
| 0:56.5 | And I'll expand on a lot of this. |
| 0:57.9 | For those of you who listen to Majority 54, you can pop over there if you want to hear |
| 1:02.4 | me talk more about it there. |
| 1:04.7 | But the recent shooting in Minnesota, I've watched that video a million times. |
| 1:09.7 | I also read the original report by |
| 1:12.4 | this sort of internal watchdog within the Department of Homeland Security. And it seems absolutely |
| 1:18.9 | clear to me that this was an unjustified shooting. And like the good shooting, the most egregious problem with it is not just the shooting itself, |
| 1:30.1 | but the way in which Trump officials have blatantly lied about what we've seen and appear to be engaged in a cover-up. |
| 1:37.9 | These are just some of the quotes from Trump officials and the aftermath of this recent shooting. |
| 1:42.3 | This looks like a situation where an individual |
| 1:44.2 | wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. That's Bovino. This individual committed |
| 1:49.9 | an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts. That's Noam. A domestic terrorist tried to |
| 1:55.5 | assassinate federal law enforcement. That's Miller. So that's what they're saying about this. |
| 2:01.9 | And I could play any number of commentators from across the political spectrum. And I'm deliberately playing somebody who's |
| 2:06.7 | fairly far right in Glenn Beck. To say what I think is obvious for anybody who has watched this |
