What is the agenda for Trump’s upcoming UN General Assembly address and foreign meetings?
Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Scott Galloway.
And I'm Jessica Tarloff.
How'd the book launch go, Jess?
I'm so sick of myself. Do you remember this feeling? Where you're like, I cannot listen to myself anymore. Don't turn off the podcast, guys. I feel that way when I wake up. No, it's a lot.
It's a lot.
It's a lot of running around, but it's been great. doing the live events and meeting actual people who have read the book or, you know, are fans. A lot of Raging Moderates listeners out here in Los Angeles and San Diego was awesome. I thought, oh, this is a nice quality of life. What am I doing with myself? But yeah, it's going well. It was fun on Bill Maher.
Oh, you were great. I meant to tell you. I thought you were really good.
Thank you. And Bill
likes you. You can tell he lets you disagree with him and doesn't get upset.
The hallmark of a win there.
Well, it's in the great series Entourage. Ari Emanuel says to Vince, they don't pay you to act in the film, they pay you to market it. And what I found with books is they don't pay you to write the book, they pay you to market it. And so it's important that you get out there. Anyways, congratulations. So we're 43 days until the midterms, and we'll be doing our best to keep you updated with everything you need to know. Please hit subscribe to support the show. All right, let's get into it. Trump will address the 81st U.N. General Assembly tomorrow in New York, and while he attends, he's also expected to meet with a number of world leaders, including U.K. Prime Minister Annie Burnham and also Mayor Mamdani today.
Later in the week, Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit the White House. The guest list for the planned state dinner includes Tim Cook, Sam Altman, and Jensen Huang. This all comes as Trump says he's closed a deal between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland that gives U.S. permanent control over security and all other needs in Greenland. The deal is expected to be signed this week at the U.N. Lots of stuff going on this week. What are you looking for, Jess, or what do you take of all this?
How sad it is that he thinks that this Greenland deal is going to be the kind of win that will divert everyone's attention from the dumpster fires that are going on everywhere else. Greenland, or I should say Denmark by extension, has always been signaling that they were willing to increase military cooperation. And then Trump, of course, had to come out there and be like, no, we're going to own you. And lo and behold, they're not. We're not going to own them, which we shouldn't. sovereign nation and all of that. But obviously, you know, all eyes on China. That meeting is going to be the biggie at the state dinner. I want to get your take on what you think that those AI leaders are thinking as they head in.
Jamie Dimon will be there as well. Jane Frazier, too. Do you think that there is any expectation of real movement, if there's any meaningful agreement on AI, my guess is it would be no. And they kind of both just want to puff up their chests and be able to go back to their corners without... having gotten anything major done or any major losses, I assume the tariff detente will be extended or that would be the hope there for both countries. I, you know, hope in a prayer that someone mentions Jimmy Lai, but that seems doubtful. And I guess there's, you know, questions around arms to Taiwan and whether Trump will continue send up any flares or indications as to what he's going to do there. But it feels like much of a muchness, frankly.
And Xi Jinping is heading into a big political year. And then the expectation is that he'll announce that he's going to rule for another five years. I think it would be next fall that that announcement would come. So he kind of needs things to be copacetic. I realize I asked you like 20 things embedded in that, but I do think that the suspension of press access is the big story, even as it relates to UNGA, because he's going into this without pool coverage, which means that the only output that we're going to be getting for what's going on is coming directly from the White House very quickly.
