Brian Barrett: Our greatest and brightest.
Leah Feiger: Yeah. And so I am similar to, no, no, no, that is clearly not nearly tech. That is about displaying very particularly who Trump’s allies are and having the ability to place himself in entrance of a rustic and chief that he hasn’t spent quite a lot of time with lately.
Zoë Schiffer: Since we’re nonetheless speaking concerning the folks that he’s going to China with, what will we find out about why Jensen Huang was left off the checklist after which re-added final minute? As a result of my although after I noticed it was, oh, that is about export controls and so they suppose it’ll be type of bizarre and sophisticated to have him on the journey. However then clearly he’s now on the journey.
Leah Feiger: So somebody I can not title, somebody stated to me, “Oh, I believe the President could have simply forgotten him,” to which I laughed.
Zoë Schiffer: Oh, you remembered Brett Ratner and also you forgot?
Leah Feiger: No, I used to be like, “This isn’t true.” It is simply not even kind of true to the purpose the place I used to be like, “I am sorry, you are anticipating me to entertain this proper now?”
Zoë Schiffer: I might completely purchase that Trump forgot this man, however I am like, “Trump has different folks round him.”
Leah Feiger: This workforce did not neglect this man.
Zoë Schiffer: Sure, please.
Leah Feiger: No, there is no method on earth. I used to be very a lot similar to, “Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Preserve it transferring.” And clearly guys, now we have to speak concerning the Musk of all of it. I do know that Elon has been making his appearances again at quite a lot of White Home or White Home adjoining occasions, however this does really feel like such an enormous second for him to be on the worldwide stage once more by Trump’s facet.
Zoë Schiffer: Do you know that Elon Musk’s mom is like low-key a star in China?

Leah Feiger: Wait, new info. Say extra.
Zoë Schiffer: Persons are obsessed together with her there.
Leah Feiger: What?
Zoë Schiffer: Just a bit enjoyable truth.
Brian Barrett: I need to take a second too to not get away from Maye Musk. We are able to speak and discuss Maye Musk all day lengthy. A few 12 months in the past when the Pentagon arrange Musk for a struggle briefing about what would occur if the US went to struggle. Will we bear in mind this?
Leah Feiger: I do.
Zoë Schiffer: Oh, my gosh, I totally forgot about this. Sure.
Brian Barrett: The Pentagon invited Musk over to take a look at what the struggle plans could be if we went to combat China over Taiwan and that obtained scuttled apparently earlier than he went. This was a New York Occasions report, however it’s how far we have come and the way not far. I do not know. If I am China, I do not suppose I need to see Musk anyplace close to this coalition. And if I am Musk, I am feeling fairly nice concerning the degree of affect I now have. Once more, after which possibly I get an opportunity to take a look at these struggle plans once more. Perhaps I can candy speak Pete Hegseth.
