momentous wednesday night from nashville. this is a live look where soon president biden will try to convince the american people that his meeting today with communist dictator xi jinping is the beginning of something really beautiful. now think about it. president xi rules over what, 1.3 billion chinese through a relentless campaign of fear and oppr oppression. but we're supposed to believe he is someone we can trust as america gradually gives up their leverage. he is someone we can do business with. now after spending glorious moments with joe biden, hes that he's going to pull all that back. what a guy. well, we know big business is going to go for all this nonsense, but will america?

joining me is trace gallagher, host of "fox news at night," what are we learning tonight? >> we'll get to those items in a minute. the meeting lasted four hours between president biden and president xi. we know the four-hour point, they took a walk in the garden outside of the venue in woodside, california. we are in california, that they cleaned up amazingly, this is woodside, down in the peninsula, close to stanford university. president biden was asked how it was going and he said well. there were a couple firm agreements. the fentanyl, the chemical china has been sending to mexico and they then ship to the united states. china said they will stop sending the chemicals, does it

stop the problem? probably not. the border is wide open, they will buy from somewhere else and ship fentanyl over open border and kill tens of thousands of americans. the other deal we expect to be made on this, open military lines of communication, military ties here. those lines of communication were taken down a couple years ago after nancy pelosi visited taiwan. the deal here is that it is a hot line, they can communicate with each other directly in case there is friction in the taiwan straight or south china sea, they can get in touch with each other directly and they can try and work this out. the problem with that is there is no agreement we've heard of that the chinese military is going to stop taunting the u.s. military over the past several months we know that chinese planes have come close in the taiwan strait to american

fighter planes and ships close to other chinese ships. will that end? that is something we don't know at this point. the big point of contention for president xi, heun was assurances from president biden to make sure he does not support taiwan independence. president biden has said a number of time that independence is up to taiwan and united states would send military troops to taiwan to protect them. the white house walked that back on every occasion and the question is, did he get that assurance from xi jinping? and the president would like president xi jinping to talk to iran about this war in israel, try to tell him if he can use influence to get the iranian proxies, hamas, and others pulled back and stop going after american troops. we will find out who came out on

top in the next couple weeks or months. do they have more rogue baknow loos? do they taunt military troops in the taiwan straits and does iran back off in this war in the middle east. a lot of questions and we expect some answers when the president takes to the podium a few minutes from now. >> laura: any conversation that you know about or reported yet about ukraine? of course we know that xi is supporting putin and we're fighting and proxy fighting in the war in ukraine and hundreds of billions will go there from the united states, so what about that? >> trace: we know it came up whchl it comes to ukraine, president biden's wish there could be consensus there.

the united states is sending billions, more than 100 billion in weapons to ukraine and of course you have china supporting russia and that is a big point of contention in all of this. the question is, is there any kind of momentum on that? any kind of agreement? we've heard of none so far, whether they went and delved deep into that, we are unclear. we know it came up. they did spend most of their time talking about the war in israel versus the war in ukraine. laura. >> laura: great to see you. all right. hammers and sickos, that's the focus of tonight's "the angle." it was all hammer and sickos in san francisco since arrival of china dictator xi jinping. americans desperate to honor and impress him decided to make him

feel at home. now that is a flag that representses subjugation and persecution, not just to the chinese who fled, but for those who have no way out of china. for a second? watching this welcome xi jinping received, i thought i was watching my favorite flick from the mid-'80's, "red dawn." ♪ ♪ >> laura: seriously, watching the biden cabinet, the regime media, fawn all over xi is just disgusting. did they forget china did what it did during covid? not only did they cover up the origin of the virus that killed millions, also with brutal

efficiency, they locked down hundreds of millions of their own people in their own homes and sprawling apartment comex mr.s. only thing chinese citizens could do was scream on their balconies at night. [screaming] >> lau >> laura: think of the two mill uighurs languishing in intern ment camps tortured by guards, including some guards who escaped to tell the world about the rampant human rights abuseings that occur. >> did the police officers use electric batons to shock prisoners? >> yes, everyone uses different methods. >> for years, stories of arbitrary arrest, unspeakable cruelty and mass internment

camps have been trickling out. >> if you want people to confess, you use the electric baton. a person is tied up. the result is better. >> laura: apparently joe biden, the press and the ceos have paid up to $40,000 to be at a banquet for the dictator and they are not phased by any of this or what has been done to the christians innin choo, whose churches have been bulldozed on xi jinping's order. is the google ceo not concerned about what happened to hong kong ceos who disappeared by china or those in solitary confinement for years, like jimmy li. they have amnesia, they are desperate to work on the relationship with china.

business execs want to export jobs overseas and sell more stuff there and the biden ventriloquists want a beautiful green environment with china. this includes improving the china relationship. biden is already compromised given how much money his son hunter made there, for no talent other than being the vice president's son. during the election, president biden denied all money made. >> president biden: nothing was unethical, my son has not made money in terms of this thing about china. >> laura: it took the press years to finally admit that joe was not telling the truth about that and why? because hunter testified he had made a substantial sum of money from chinese interest. plus this had been confirmed by

hunter's laptop, which the press claimed was russian disinformation during the campaign. so when someone repeatedly reveals themselves through bad actions, don't make excuses for him, believe what he does, do not believe what he says. despite all we know about what china has done in supporting russia, i was talking about or stealing intellectual property, dumping cheap product here, committing genocide, biden thinks xi is a straight arrow. >> president biden: a pleasure, there is no substitute to face-to-face discussions. i've always found our discussions to be forward and frank and i have always appreciated them. >> laura: i think he meant to say the business they sent his son was always appreciated. let's be candid, this is a sad

day for those in america who remember when america stood for freedom and american leaders did not grovel before dictators, when the world saw america was rising. not one country that was stumbling toward a future with the dictator like xi, someone becoming almost xi's puppet. this is what our leaders want and unless we get new leaders in 2024, there is no reason tonight to believe things are not going to get even worse. that's "the angle." joining me now is congressman mike gallagher chairman of the house china select committee. i want to talk about the ceos in moment, but first your reaction to hearing what is coming out of this meeting. is xi jinping a man we can do

business with and trust? >> mike: no, absolutely not and regardless what comes out of this meeting, think of the price we have already paid just so biden could sit down with xi for this photo op. for two years, the administration has taken it's foot off the gas, have not sanctioned chinese officials, attempted to downplay or cover up the spy balloon incidents, no investigation into the origin of covid and also we could send cabinet secretaries to china to beg the ccp to have this meeting, that is the price we already paid and the win xi jinping pocketed and now i worry coming out of this meeting, there will be a commitment to working together on fentanyl, like every other commitment that the ccp has made in modern

history, the chinese communist party will violate that commitment. and the ccp' s check is always in the mail and that is the risk right now. >> laura: congressman, do you agree with what the former trade rep bob lighthouzer, he said on "the angle" the other night what they are playing for is not about fentanyl, what xi wants is trump's tariffs lifted in a second biden term. what would you wager on the proposition that was discussed and whether a wink and nod they understand tariffs are coming off if biden wins? >> mike: it is essential that we don't get rid of those for some promise of cooperation in the future and more to the point what the biden administration wants over the next year, nothing could imperil their effort to get re-elected and

they put focus on turning the temperature down in the relationship. but because they misunderstand the nature of this regime, this marxist lennonist regime. the more aggressive xi jinping becomes, whether the pressure they are placing on taiwan or economic coercion they are embarking upon globally, whether it is hacking of cabinet official e-mails at the same moment the cabinet officials are going to cheen. how much more evidence do we need to suggest that getting into this endless negotiation trap is not good for the united states? >> laura: i said this on "the angle," but they lied about this virus. they are still lying. mill kions of people died. they are probably working on other vaccines at their bio-weapons labs.

just for that alone, forget the human rights abuses and trade abuses, but the covid issue? let's move on? >> mike: that is critical, the people that make the case for cooperation with the ccp cite public health and pandemic prevention as area where interests are aligned and cite climate change, which is why john kerry is in the room with president biden and xi jinping and they are say whenning it comes to artificial intelligence, we have shared interest with the chinese communist party in regulating that going forward. i guarantee you xi jinping has no other interest with ai than to dominate it to use it for evil and further destroy american global leadership, that is who we are dealing with the other side of the table. >> laura: congressknow ma, you are a true leader, thank you. waiting to see how biden tries

to spin today's discussion. tom cotton, victor davis hampton, eldridge colby and more. we'll be right back.

>> china and the united states turning their back on each other is not realistic. there are consequences for both sides. >> laura: tonight joe biden will walk up to the podium and try to explain what he thinks happened in the meeting with president xi. if joe tries to play it off, you know who ended up coming up on top. joining us on secretary of defense under president trump and ned ryan, founder and ceo of american majority. mike, let's start with you, okay. xi warned of unbearable consequences if we decouple. what is he really saying? >> well, it's a warning to the

hawks inside the biden administration not to go too far. it looks like both sides of cooperating, chinese team and biden team to work on reelection of joe biden. they are framing this whole thing as biden's move toward peace and dampening down tension. it is a gamble, but perhaps the chinese are watching the polls and see there is a good chance of mr. trump returning and they don't want that. the only other option is endorse biden, that is what we've been seeing the last few hours. >> laura: the romantic walk in the garden we're looking at now reminds me of love connection. you ask, how did your date end? apparently quite well for them. i want to play a moment from xi today, watch. >> know plaet earth is big enough for the two countries to

succeed and one country success is an opportunity for the other. i firmly believe in the promising future of the bilateral relationship. >> laura: what blather. planet earth is big enough for the both of us? sounds like a power-sharing agreement, because we know china shares well with other countries, correct? >> yeah. we get easter island and samoa and they get the most important legion. i think it is clear in a sense at best biden admin strigz is getting snookered. there is a darker possibility based on three officials saying to politico they want to "steady" the relationship with china because if ukraine, war in middle east and the president's reelection campaign. if you're china and the country

that you regard as existential threat, xi jinping regards us a threat, what does that tell you? you ended angle on potential for worse. i think that is very real. look at president biden, kind of omega version of walk in the woods, doddeling around. president biden met putin in 2021 and eight months later invaded. and kennedy had a meeting in vienna and berlin crisis and cuba missile crisis. if he's coming and sizing us up, i don't have any information, they have not suspended the military builted build-up. it is a dangerous time. i don't think the biden administration is naive, they can be ruthless, including toward republicans. what is their calculation? they think conflict is quite

possible and they're trying to placate. i hate to use the word appeasement, it is overused, that is what it smells like. >> laura: total appeasement, you don't have to hesitate using that word. ned, i mentioned covid and china releasing this virus accidentally or on purpose, released the virus, lied about it, destroyed records, disappeared people who knew the truth and we are supposed to say thanks for the promise about fentanyl, all forgiven. the issue of covid did come up and this is how xi addressed it today. >> the world has emerged from the covid pandemic but is still under tremendous impact. the global economy is recover ing but its momentum remains

sluggish. still under the threat of interruption and protection is rising. these are grave problems. >> laura: protectionism is bigger thet than communism itself. your reaction to that, ned. >> no, the sad part, a lot of ruling class like the chinese model of governance, i don't think they have a problem with it. they wouldn't mind it came to our shores. i'm shocked by incredible weakness, biden has to ask xi to stop the flow of fentanyl in our country. we could secure our border and be in control of that conversation instead of begging them to do that. he is begging them to have a conversation with iran about hezbollah and hamas. incredible weakness, as we give billions to iranians and asking the chinese to have a conversation and call off their

attack dogs. the things that will be discussed, chinese spy balloon attacking taiwan, china building nuclear arsenal, covid and biological warfare on the world and what are consequences of that? biden will never bring it up and biden will never state existential threat china is to our future and our allies. a lot of us think he is compromised by money that flowed from the ccp to the biden family and make the argument that biden is meeting with the paymaster when he meets with xi jinping. >> laura: you know what they would say if the shoe were on the other foot and the trump family received payments, mike, when trump was in office from foreign governments or shady businesses to do nothing, have no talent but get huge checks through vague accounts and end

up in the brother or son's pocket, they wouldn't have trouble drawing the connection back to a republican president thchl is ignored when we look at that matrix of problems we have right now. michael, to your point, you wrote "the 100-year marathon," this is the long game for china, they are looking 10, 20, 30, 40 years down the road. look what asia, australia, european nations might think now about the united states? are we stronger or weaker after speaking as we did with xi? >> well, laura, we look unreliable. the rhetoric of the last 2-1/2 years by biden, he tried to match trump's rhetoric in first year, china will never pass us, they commit genocide, that seems to be gone now. if you are a partner nation of

america and watch this show, including biden's comments, you will be very confused. it is as though the americans did not mean it. concrete majors have not passed congress. you may have seen heritage foundation president article that the house republicans are not passing all the key legislation that has been proposed about china. for example, whether companies have to report investment in china or not, that failed in house services. chinese know this and watch carefully. they know we are a nation of talkers who are all bark and no bite when it comes to pressure on china. >> laura: they know money talks. exactly, trump wasn't they way, trump got negotiations going. >> laura: he understood he had leverage, trump -- chinese only

understand raw power and patriotic nationalistic spirit, they don't respect people fawn at them and put out flags for them, they don't respect that. they dominate the situation and to that point, i disagree slightly with mike on this, you are putting it too mildly. we look incredibly weak and mike, how often have i disagreed with you? never. i don't think we look confused, we look weak and america does not look like we are running the show, america looks like we are taking orders from e zoo, that is how we look. >> i would say it is the worst possible outcome, we look weak and sort of like we are asking them a favor. but we've succeeded under this administration in convincing them that according to the journal that xi jinping thinks we want to strangle them. that situation existed, it is

analogous of the situation before pearl harbor. i was on a thing with senior chinese and i asked them do you think we are trying to contain and suppress you? they said absolutely. then we're also projecting weakness. china is building their military to do so, made it clear what is going on in taiwan. that is the worst possible situation. >> laura: ned, it is important given brilliant arguments you are making about the political aspect of this for 2024. how the media are framing this meeting. watch this. >> really it is about try to just calm things down. frankly the u.s. can focus on other things because of the situation in ukraine and middle east and the president about to head into reelection year. that is the goal for today, modest, but important. >> laura: okay. should biden's reelection really

be a goal of a summit with our leading adversary that has more nuclear weapon than any other nation other than us? >> that is what is happening. >> that is what is happening. that is exactly what is happening in this situation with china. same situation happening in his approach to israel. this is about retaining political power in november of 2024. and again, somebody stated previously, china would prefer to have biden in the white house than trump. trump was extremely aggressive on trade policy with china and extremely realistic about the threat they pose on the international stage and biden, the problem with weakness and appeasement with the chinese, it is going to encourage more. >> laura: yeah. all right, panel, you are awesome and mike, i didn't mean to insinuate michael that you

were going soft on china. you know i'm the biggest hawk when i think you are going soft on china. hilarious, i'm making myself laugh. great conversation, thank you. senator tom cotton and victor davis hanson are here, cannot wait to hear their analysis, so stay there.

we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they

have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea! hey, guys! you're sitting on a goldmine! come on, guys! do you hear that? i don't hear anything anymore. find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com. with dexcom g7, managing your diabetes just got easier. so ah, what's your glucose number right now? good thing you don't need to fingerstick. how's all that food affect your glucose? oh, the answers on your phone.

>> no, laura, not at all.me we don't need to wait for joe bideuen to know this summit was bad for america, the only s it catastrophic fo r america? we have seen appeasement by president biden, turning the other cheek on the spy balloon orue them hacking into our government systems and at the was t joe biden said it honor and pleasure to host a communist dictator.ev it is the kind of thing ronald reagan would have never done. heink would have negotiated fr position of strength. what did joe biden agree to giv away behind closed doors to s was merely r thi bad or catastrophic for america. >> laura: reagan, for whom i

worked, was about peace through strength and now it is appeasement through weakness and supplication. that is obviously what happened here across the board from everything we heard and knew going eiin, that would be their approach. on top of this, we have china building a listening post/military base in cuba. those plans are underway, likelt to be open sometime in the nextt year, yearhe and a half. no reporting on whether that topic came up. >> no, and i'll bet it probably did benot, laura. i'll bet they didn't raise origin of the coronavirus virus and didn't raise china sending spy balloon in addition to the siteo you mention in cube, chi trying t o control the panama t

canal. everything biden has done has yo been about setting the mood music, if you will, for smooth relations with a communist adversary for joe biden's reelection. another thing we saw that is troubling is couple seats down e from joe biden is john kerry. not the secretary of defense, but johnge. kerry, special envo for climate. it shows what joe biden's priorities are, it is not , it american jobs, not american safety, it is getting climate change deal with china, which of they would cheat on. >> laura: a former official is o convinced xi is here to beg biden to ease up, period, watchn >> why is xi agreeing to this meeting now? i think part of the reason, they fear the biden administration ma strategy is working. the derisking is hurting the chinese economy, china wants out

from under the pressure biden administration has helped to build. >> laura: senator, that is true, they have not pulled back on trump's tariffs yets, i think they will do that in the second term. why pull up on the gas when china is weak? throw them a lifeline after what they have done? >>nald we should be doubling do. the president is afraid of political consequences and s and sanctions can grow stale as china finds new ways td cheat on them.ir like trans shipping into the united has states. administration has not he undertaken effort to enforce ga trump tariffs and sanctions and china knew it was on the front foot going into this summit because biden has shown weakness and appeased china in every way this year. this was bad for america, the 96

question, is it catastrophic? in 1961, jfk and you have berlie and the cuba missile crisis.ib president biden had terrible summit wit h vladamir putin in 2021 and invasion of ukraine a few months later. not whether this is a good summit, was it a bad summit or . something worse? >> laura: they don't have to gon to war with taiwan, i think they will just take taiwan. they don't think they have to gk much further because i think t they think they will get whatever they want now. i think it is handed to them on, a silver platter. it.vir, we appreciate thank you. f joininelg me now victor davis ,e hanson from the hoover. president biden himself did most of the talking in this session,o but president xi also did a lot of the listening.

if that shouldn't terrify you, i don't know what will. >> i believe that. i think he came over here afterr looking at the surveying the world and oud your guest pointet covi bd stonewalling, the ballo, buying up farmland. we are beyond the 1990 issues, we are in existential crisis.ge he came over here and thought this country is still strong, nt but acting weak and giving me these things, take this leader. he sees cognitive decline and looks at thea fa polls and fails agenda and come away with the idea, if i had the united stater power, i t would be pushing me h around and they have more powerh than i do and they are afraid of me. that is when wars start. when weaker power think they are

ascending and the stronger s if party -- they make bad decisions. if we can go back to energy independence v, get rid of dei w wokeness and build up our r defenses and get our fiscal house in order, we na. and they know it. be so much stronger than china and they know it. when we act weak, i feel everybody is talking about the summits. m thine one in my mind, when -- wt to munich and he thought hitler would not do anything and the it british empire was stronger thag germany, but germany didn't get that message. i'itm worried he will come away withth thean idea the country i weak rather than the leadership is and we have to radically change our habits and get back

to tough military, physical e sobriety, energy independence ana ved demonstrate it is a it dangerous thing to challenge the united states and its allies. >> laura: here is how your old friend richard haus, globalist council on foreign relations described this. >> be modest, this relationship has not found the definition for itself temperature is highly d competitive. can yosu find limited areas of compromise? maybe. weta used to worry china was 10 feet. tall, we now understand i is not. >> laurawher: not saying no are where we could cooperate with china, he has a point there. iserst that sophisticated enougw understanding of china given history of what just happened in the past three or four years? >> all the problems that all of your all guests outline, they h

one thing in common, they were instigated by china. we don't send balloons over e there,we we were candid about a covid, we arboe not buying farmland up in china and don't d have students spying like they n do. we are not doing it, it is all xi. it is him.is hat why is he doing that? not because he wants to be a strategic partner, he wants to be a members of the jury mon. he ithats baffled we are so str and weak in turning over all of these prerogatives and openings to him. we have to disabuse him and he will like us better if he respects and fears us. he doesn't like us now, he feelh we have intrinsic strength, we e weak morally, culturally, socially. that is dangerous.th >> laura: inyeah, i don't thinke respects what america has become at all. i think he did respect it more when trump was president because

trump is like we're the greatest country on the face of the earth, maybe we'll work with you in the future, you are not doing this anymore. trump wanted a deal that was more realistic. i want your take on what is happening with this political interference play that even our state department is warning about with china saying they y will meddle in our election and they put out a big report that election interference will happen in 2024, as it did obviously in 2020. >> i mean, that is classical projection. we've only had interference really btiy falsely accusing people of doing it. wewa knos w now that there was such thing as russian collusion. hillary clinton had foreign nationals that may have been spreading russian disinformation and we know that from the whole 2016 and 2020 experience.y i think they are very worried

and every time they talk about they are worried about balloting and election integrity and foreign meddling.me it tells me they think they don't have control of the nd apparatus of balloting and electioneering enough to overcome the weakness and unpopularity of joe biden.tt >> laura: good point. the chinese have tiktok, they a think that will help. victor, it you is great to see thank you so much. i think we may be going to jacqui heinrich as we await -- oh, okay, we are going to jacqui heinrich in a moment. this is live tv.de she is inside the room where biden is set to speak, so that happen. first we'll be joining in nashville fox news contributor raymond arroyo. biden supposed to come out 7:15, we had to change a few things around, but we are nimble on thp

"the ingraham angle." what can you tell us about what has been happening here? >> raymond: incredible show and your guests. xi has taken this administration down the garden path, laura. that sad look, there it is. bideat tn administration claimst this is about climate change and fighting fentanyl.th that ie s absurd. the real china challenge and intellectual property theft, trade stimbalance, surveillancef the united states and our allies. there was no talk about that today.eeme we are going to hold back oi fentanylng. our militaries will talk. thate misses the point and majh challenges you laid out. >> laura: what we heard, they have agreed to curb, curb the shipment of the chemicals that go into fentanyl. what does curb mean?enth curb your enthusiasm about that, we have no idea what that means, it could be reducing the me

chemicals by 4%. who is checking? samefor, people who checked the wuhan lab for elections?th >> raymond: exactly.is what is the measure of that? yeah, as they surveill us at every moment, this is absurd.pp >> laura: there is other news nt happening.io >> raymond: you mention inned "the angle," thes, audacious, malicious suppressor of religious freedoms that xi represents and is. he smashed churches, rounded up clergies. bide apn administration has been paying attention and it has changed green card rule for clergy. america magazine reporting sudden procedural change in howr the federal government processes green cards for foreign born igs religious workers together with historic highs in number of illegal border crossers.

thousands of clergy are losing ability to remain in this enin country. this is why this is upon haing, they left the border open and you have tens of thousands of centranorsl american miners whoi refugee status. guess where the biden w administration placed them? t ahead of working clergy in the united states, thatten moos pastors, priests, nuns, will bed thrown out of the country, their green cards expired. they were in line applying and they have been tossed aside forl miners that just arrived. >> laura: this is antisemitism /* antireligious. i keep going back to covid to not. outrage. >> raymond: if you care, laura, r the people coming into this country, i would give them

accesso to pastors and priests e their language, that is what isdepr deprived them ify new policy of biden's stays in place. it needs to change, clergy should get priority. >> laura: they want fewer religious services in the united states, they hate the religious people in this your honor ko. today offered evidence biden brand is distressed, you say? >> raymond: yeah issue not the only brand, disney new movie the marvels had least marvelous opening of any marvel film ever, it onlony made $47 million and cost them $200 million to make, worst opening for a marvel film in history. this follows elmentals, and bom. after bomb after bomb.fi less to dolm with the films thad pereir seption that disney tried to introduce nonbinary character

and that breaks faith with the . audience, that is what you are here. they are great emblem for china america business relationship, they ceded their property and morally collapsed and we are seeing theand. death of a great american brand. >> laura: great to see you, see you tomorrow night here in nashville. jacqui heinrich has just gottenn set up, biden will speak at the top of the hour. what can you tell us? >> we just got detail on the two expected agreements we knew were coming, the agreement to curb flow of fentanyl into the u.s. we know china agreed to crack down on companies that send that drug to latin america and it makes its way to the u.s. via the southern border. we did not get a whole lot of he detail on the timeline of how

long the administration will waitugh to see if they follow through before they lift sanctions they have been talking about.so we expect the president discussed a little a of that. they have agreement to restore military-to- to military communication, that was a huge priority for thebe u.s h. it will be happening now at the cabinet level aneaded senior le level, including chairman of joint chief and commander of the pacific forces and between ship drivers and others. those two agreements did come together. what is not fully baked is agreement to limit use of artificial intelligence in nuclear weapons.t critics of the administration said the president would be giving away a strategic advantage that the united states has on artificial intelligence if this were to happen. a read out we just got said thas is in the initial steps right

now. what we're looking for is detail, if any, on what china agreed to do to push iran to stop from widening the war in et the middle east. r that was something the president planned to raise and he did raise it. the read out a did not give detl on what, if anything, china agreed to do. couple other things remain unanswered, we don't know what if anythinthg the president sai about taiwan, which is china's biggest priority right now. they were seeking assurances in of stopping military support for taiwan or something along those lines, rolling back sanctions and tariffs and that we would not violate the one chinese communist party policy that the u.s. still says it stands behind. we did not think this was comin from the bidenfo administration that is what china wanted to see. we'll look at that piece of thea conversation and the issue of

the spy balloon.se we don't know if the president planned to k raise it.oa wedl know the administration thinksut the incidents fit with th ae sps y balloon as good exa of why communications needed to be restored. this meeting was about reestablishing this frosty relationship, getting things back on track, it did not seem they were, the president spe was keen on bringing that up specifically. we hope to get a couple y questionefs to the president an we will effort one ourselves and see what he has to say about how this historic meeting went. >> laura: what do we know aboutw what the ceos who attended or attending, the dinner with president xi, they control huge f money in the united of states. any movement on any of the issues that they care about?

>> well, we know the administration broadly sees that businesses can do what they t wanthe. we heard from john kirby today there are certain industries that we don't support engagement with china on because of in national security reasons. president xi is in the u.s. to appeal directly to those business leaders.ss china's economy has been on the brink for a while. they have high unemployment.th among youth, big real estate problem, capital and business leaving the country, depreshiating currency. biden administration did not ta want to take a tougher line because they feel the u.s. economy and big partnership in the indo-pacific have put china on its heels and we could play g nice, get china to the table and better protect u.s. interest if we had china cooperating with us. so we know that xi is going to

be broadcasting to the world d that china is open for business. one thing interesting about this business element is the t president was planning reportedly to announce deliverable on the i-path e agreement, trade agreement, the indo-pacific framework and senate tol democrats told him ty off, unenforceable trade standard with that. that gives xi an opening, we'll see what the president says about that. laura.nigh >> laura: great to see you tonight. that's it for tonight.e remember we are in nashville ano tomorrow imos the big day, you n be part of the show at grand ole opry. scan the qr code on your screen, get tickets and be part of the audience, i want to see you there. ♪ ♪ ain't that america, you
