Squawk Pod: Treasury Secretary Bessent: ‘F’ the Iranian leadership – 11/13/26 | Audio Only
In writing “The Nvidia Way” in 2024, journalist Tae Kim conducted over 100 interviews with Jensen Huang, Nvidia co-founders, and early employees and backers. Kim explains who might replace the resigned CEO, how Jensen Huang’s leadership defined Nvidia’s success over the last 33 years, and how important his presence has been to company culture, morale, and shareholder value. Then, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent moved into military housing after threats from Iran raised concerns about his safety. His message, straight from Squawk Box airwaves to Iran: “‘f’ the Iranian leadership.” In a wide-ranging conversation, Sec. Bessent discusses the U.S. government’s role in the national security concerns of the Nvidia scandal, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s involvement in the chip trade, and the health of the U.S. economy.
