Erick Erickson reacts to Jensen Huang stepping down as Nvidia CEO after an affair with a direct report suspected of being a Chinese spy, explains why the right needs to stop cheering philanderers and celebrity CEOs, and admits he bought Nvidia stock on the dip. Then he makes the case that Republicans, after losing the House and Senate in an election where 90 percent of voters called corruption a major problem, should push Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick out over Cantor Fitzgerald conflicts, the Canada trade war, and three separate times stalling President Trump's crackdown on Nvidia chips flowing to China. Plus Pete Hegseth honors the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier guard who called out his group.
