AI Arms Race, China Competition, Energy Revolution

After the US and China hold a summit in Beijing between Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Washed Up breaks down what — if anything — useful came of it, regarding the race to develop AI models and build data centers, a US arms deal with Taiwan, the U.S.'s likelihood to defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, and China purchasing farmland and sending scholars to U.S. universities (both policies that Trump once opposed but now seemingly supports). Then, we pivot to an event with Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, where he discussed America's energy future, and he proposed that we recenter humanity's needs in our energy debates — rather than climate change alarmism. Cohost Abby Cavizo champions a nuclear energy solution and revolution, and Colin Mullaney explains consumer-regulated electricity, which would deregulate the grid and provide more free-market energy production. Last, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was brought down in defeat by an almost unknown primary opponent, after Donald Trump and his key allies/donors spent millions to defeat him — in the most expensive House primary ever. We are not happy about it, but not surprised, if you only knew what goes on in Washington, DC.
