What was China's impetus, do you think?

NVIDIA is so far ahead.

Let me give you a couple numbers.

The current, the chips that went to China, they do a measure called about four data flops.

That's a quadrillion operations per second.

Okay, they're at four.

The new Blackwell chip, it's at 20 that NVIDIA makes.

uh example of ai and then oh well this it's it's intelligent artificial intelligence and then as the president says it says you know super intelligence smart and smart intelligence what is ai what are we worried about what are we worried about the computers are going to take over like uh 2001 a space odyssey the film like how i mean is that what they're worried about because when people say ai i don't think people understand exactly what it is maybe you can help us out here dr grant

How do you think the national security investigations will play out?

Well, I think it's really important that NVIDIA does a full national security operation.

You know, we wanted to know what information, if any, went from Wang to this alleged Chinese operative.

Now, that having been said, even with the reports of NVIDIA chips that were legally sold in China and then smuggled to China, and now it's legal to sell them again if you get permission from the Commerce Department.

But we're talking about a much older chip, the H200.

In perspective, that does about four petaflops, quadrillion operations per second, okay? Whereas the new Blackwell does about 20.

And the NVIDIA chip beyond Blackwell, the Rubin, is supposed to do 50.

And on that note, what's next for Huang if he's no longer tied to NVIDIA? Is there any reason to believe he would not remain a target for the Chinese Communist

What is a hypersonic weapon and what is a Zumwalt and Virginia class? Good day.

Good day.

A hypersonic weapon, in this case, is a missile that goes up into the atmosphere and releases a hypersonic glide body that can go about Mach 5.

That's about 3,800 miles per hour.

It maneuvers and then reenters on a non-predictable trajectory.

So you can see why the Navy would like a missile like this, an R-2 Ocean Navy, also requires two weapons stations, right? One on the West Coast and one on the East Coast.

So this is the East Coast Weapons Station down on the York River.

Will the adding of hypersonic missiles to the Zumwalts make them much more capable than they have been considered up to now?

Grant.

No, no, there is not Russian diesel in the pump.

It's the green handle, you know, at the station.

It's not the case at all.

In fact, America is the number one producer in the world of diesel.

We produce all our own consumption.

We also export some.

How accurate is that? And what's that impact on Ukraine as we're trying to get both countries to a negotiating table to end this war?

So the fact that a very co-

co-High-level search warrant was executed with an extra level of scrutiny and diligence based on who it is by federal judges should tell us everything that we need to know, and that is there was a lot of there there, and they couldn't walk away from this.

And by the way, let's not forget, these DC district court judges-

Grant, wanna get your take.

Well, I think Zelensky has been a heroic wartime leader, and look, I'd like to see every last Russian out of Ukraine.

That said, Christian is right that Ukraine remains very dependent on US support.

This has been true from the beginning when Starlink, Microsoft, others came in and enabled that country to keep going.

I think Zelensky would be well-served to keep some of these operational complaints about SATCOM and this and that off the airwaves because he does still have strong US support.

Good day to you, Rebecca.

Yes.

The Virginia-class is a nuclear powered but conventionally armed attack submarine.

And John, you're right, America's undersea warriors do hold a tremendous advantage across the Pacific for three main reasons.

One, superior technology.

Two, long experience in mapping and operating in that Pacific region.

And three, as you noted, allies who operate the P-8 Poseidon patrol plane with its immense anti-submarine warfare capabilities, and so many other things.

How good is it? And, uh, is it able to defeat the Virginia in its home, um, air, waters? Because it's gonna be fighting South China Sea, East China Sea, very close to China's bases, very far from ours.

Good day to you, Rebecca.

Yes.

Is it still accurate, Rebecca?

Talk to us about what happened at Barksdale Air Force Base because... you know, dry run? What do you think happened on US soil? If we're leaving to bring these home, is there a threat domestically to our bomber bases?

So our Air Force Base commanders have the ability to defend, and there's been a lot more attention on drone defenses, of course, anti-drone defenses after a couple drones went around the flight line down there at Langley Air Force Base where our F-22s were based a few years ago.

We also, because I think if you remember the Khobar Towers incident in Saudi Arabia so many years ago when 19 airmen were killed by a terrorist bomber, ever since then, our U.S. bases are really, really carefully defended.

And it's not just the base, but of course, our U.S. Air Force security forces working outside the wire to look at that perimeter.

And you see the same thing in England.

You know, the RAF regiment are second to none there.

in air-based defense.

Does that still hold? Talk to us to the potential threats against our boats.

Do you think that they might be getting that information from China's birds in the sky?

It's a possibility, although our U.S. ambassador to China, David Perdue, said that China has been warned that not to help Iran.

But even if a Chinese commercial satellite or a military reconnaissance satellite is looking at the photographic picture of the location of a ship, remember, that photo is only good for an instant.

Because of the speed of that ship, it moves.

So if you've got a photo, it has to be taken by the satellite, passed down to the Iranians, fed into a weapon.

The weapon's got to get moved into place.

You're already looking at minutes, hours, possibly longer And so that targeting information is not very fresh.

To your knowledge, is that information available? How many ships are left trapped inside the Gulf? How many are coming in daily? Is that published anywhere? I've not seen it.

Am I correctly informed on that?

That is what Putin said.

Here comes another one of Russia's sort of meaningless boasting nuclear threats but I think first everybody wants to know where is Kaliningrad and why does Russia care so this is a little enclave up on the Baltic Sea and the Soviet Union ended up with this piece of land.

It used to be a city called Konigsberg, and they ended up with it after World War II in 1945, kind of a map accident.

It's sandwiched in there between Poland and Lithuania, on the Baltic Sea, you know, you got Denmark on one side, Sweden and Finland up to the north.

But why it's important is Russia has stuffed Kaliningrad with more military equipment than you can imagine.

They've got air defenses.

So, you know, we've been pushing Iran to do away with their nuclear arms, quite rightly so, but what are we doing to keep Russia in line?

Do you think that they might be getting that information from China's birds in the sky?

Are they, to your knowledge, is that information available? How many ships are left trapped inside the Gulf? How many are coming in daily? Is that published anywhere? I've not seen it.

What do you what do you anticipate is going to be the result of this? Do you think President Trump is going to make a lot of headway with President Xi?

I think this meeting may be light on deliverables, but don't forget two things.

One, we are in an existential struggle with China economically in terms of space, in terms of AI or superintelligence.

President Trump knows that very well.

But President Trump and Secretary of the Treasury Besant do not like to spat with China in public.

And we're told that Xi Jinping is a little bit the same.

They'd rather size each other up in these private meetings.

What can you tell us about those two? Are those likely to be two of the thornier issues alongside of Taiwan?

I don't think you think the same way as the Danish press, apparently.

So I'm so happy that Denmark is happy because, you know, having Denmark happy is a win for Trump and a win for the United States and a win for Denmark.

So President Trump got exactly what he wanted and what he needed.

And that is a set of agreements that make sure that we can keep our primary military base there, which is a Space Force base called Pitu Fik.

It's a 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle, if you can imagine.

And then it also ensures that China can't run the play that they tried a few years ago, which was basically to buy their way into Greenland.

You know, Xi Jinping started pouring money into a lot of the Arctic nations.

And if you look at where Russia's nuclear missile silos are located, where most of their missiles would have to come from, all of it goes directly over Greenland before it can get to basically any part of the U.S., right?

What are you hoping for from this meeting? Will we see any changes coming out of this meeting?

Well, hard to say.

I think it may be a little light on deliverables.

But remember, Trump is using the same playbook from his trip to Beijing, and that is bringing in America's big guns among our tech leaders, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, all of that.

And that is a very deliberate show to Xi Jinping that it is the U.S. that still leads in the AI tech stack.

Trump would like Xi to make some additional deals with some of these companies.

We'll see.

And he got exactly what he wanted.

So I feel like our capabilities have been on full display throughout part of this war, but that also leads to the idea that, okay, if we get into a wider conflict and one of these other space-enabled countries attacks us space-wise, does that mean that they've got, for lack of a better term, a gun pointing at our satellite and we've got a gun pointing at their satellite, and we're just ready to destroy each other's satellites? Can you just maybe talk a little bit more about this idea?

It is like potentially a gun pointed at our satellites, and so that's why the announcement's here to say, "Hey, we're not gonna put up with this.

We can take that out." And as you rightly said, the missile warning, our Space Force in Colorado watches every ballistic missile shot that takes place on Earth.

Every time the Iranians pop up a missile, it's watched there.

That r- relies on satellites like our space-based infrared up there in very high geostationary orbit.

In a conflict, would Russia or China try to target those satellites? That's the kind of capability that we're now saying, "No way.

We're gonna deter this.

What might a nuclear blast entail for those on Earth?

First, hypothetically, what kinds of weapons might we have at this point in space versus what our adversaries may have?

Well, this is a really big moment and such an interesting announcement.

Dr. Mink, who is the Secretary of the Air Force, worked in space for many, many decades.

He's also a former Air Force pilot.

So believe me, every word was deliberate.

Now, the Air Force does not want to discuss what kind of weapons it has, and I think that's fine.

But I'll just give you kind of the broad possibilities.

What is it and how concerned should we be about it?

Have they beefed up quietly? Good evening to you.

Good evening.

Well, space is always a factor, but here we're really talking about a new strategic concept called the hellscape.

You've often heard about Taiwan's porcupine defense, where with artillery and reserve forces, they'd make it really tough if Chinese forces got ashore.

Well, this takes it a much different direction.

Hellscape is an offensive concept.

It's the brainchild of Admiral Samuel Papi Paparo, who is the commander out in the Pacific.

So does the concept still work? Drone warfare undersea in the air on the surface?

Hellscape is an offensive concept.

It's the brainchild of Admiral Samuel Papi Paparo, who is the commander out in the Pacific.

So does the concept still work? Drone warfare undersea in the air on the surface?

Because he did say, look, do you think that China and Russia don't have any of these weapons up in space? Okay, so what kind of weapons do China and Russia have up in space? What are they trying to do?

Well, I got to tell you, first of all, it's like bumper cars up there on orbit.

So any satellite has the ability to maneuver and bump the delicate electronics or the solar array or the antenna on another satellite.

So you want to talk about ways you can kill a satellite.

You can do it with a little laser from a satellite.

You can do it with a grappling arm that grabs a satellite and moves it to an orbit where it can't hold position.

It's going to decay.

What have been some of the biggest successes of Space Force so far?

What are your thoughts?

Oh, I agree.

And I think on 9-11, no one could have imagined because 9-11 brought this country together.

We've always had divisions, but no one imagined this attempt to almost deny the consequences of that and the infiltration of bad people.

Muslim doctrine in our country.

I'm not talking about freedom of religion, but I'm talking about the bad parts, you know just what I mean.

It's just shocking.

What do we know about that? And why would we let the Houthis run wild and continue to carry out attacks at the behest of the regime in Tehran?

What is an electro-optical missile, Dr. Grant?

Right.

Well, according to reports, this is a fairly nasty missile fired by Iran.

And we think it's a new missile that they unveiled actually last year.

And I got to tell you, this is why we had to do Operation Epic Fury.

So this is reported to be an anti-ship ballistic missile.

Ballistic is when it comes down from space.

If they develop that, and not to mention with a nuclear device, and if it turns into one of the powerful missiles that North Korea has, they would come right to America, certainly Israel, Rebecca Grant, correct?
