On today's podcast:   

1) Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang admitted he had an affair with a woman identified in a series of reports as a suspected Chinese spy, plunging the chip colossus into a crisis like none before in its three-decade history. Huang disclosed the romantic relationship in a memo to employees on Sunday, saying the Nvidia board was launching an investigation. He had previously said there was nothing inappropriate about his relationship with the woman, who worked for a Singapore-based customer.   

2) President Trump said it’s possible his administration has been “too tough” with its deportation policies, conceding that it may have hurt the Republican Party in the midterm elections. “I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally,” he said in an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes that aired Sunday.   

3) US Secretary of State Marco Rubio played down the chances of a breakthrough in talks on ending the conflict with Iran, saying Tehran’s demands to date are unacceptable and in some cases “outrageous and ridiculous.” Rubio’s comments to reporters contrasted with President Trump’s tone after CNN quoted the president earlier Sunday as saying it’s “highly unlikely” he’ll order more strikes on Iran if negotiations make substantial progress.
