It's Friday, August 15th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is Wadadaday, the show that watched part of the World Humanoid Games, which kicked off in Beijing on Thursday and said, absolutely not.

Robots should not be doing martial arts or boxing. Has no one ever seen a movie? On today's show, the time has finally come. President Donald Trump and

Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Alaska to talk about ending Russia's war in Ukraine.

And California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom unveils a redistricting plan to go head-to-head

against Texas Republicans. But let's start with Envidia. Invigia is a company that makes

AI chips. Because of that, NVIDIA is now the richest company on Earth as of June of this year.

And thanks to a new deal with the Trump administration, NVIDIA, alongside fellow AI chipmaker advanced microdevices, or AMD,

Basically, the United States government is now a partner in two private companies that are selling AI chips to China. Basically, the United States government is now a partner in two

to them for any further details. That's one perspective. Others include conservative writer Jim Garrity, who called the

deals, quote, light communism. But to me, the state, in this case, the Trump administration,

telling two private companies that they could only get the export licenses they need to sell AI chips to Chinese companies,

well, that sounds less communist to me and more mob protection scheme. You want to do business, pay up, or you'll regret it. Fun how our government is working

right now. So to learn more about NVIDIA, its deal with the Trump administration, and how this
