This is an I heart podcast guaranteed human.
Welcome. It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice to have you with, especially if you're listening on the radio around the country center. It was one heck of a week in Washington, D.C., where you were. And not only was it a big week there, but it was also a very big week in New York City at the United Nations as well. And we've got a lot to cover.
Well, this week, President Xi Jinping was in Washington, D.C., to meet with President Trump and to be there for a state dinner. And Washington was shut down for most of the day that Xi was there. Many of the streets were closed. And the guest list included many of the most prominent CEOs in America, Virtually all of the tech CEOs came in for it. In many ways, you read through the guest list and it was an illustration of how the battle with China and the race for AI is front and center. And every one of those tech CEOs is engaged right in the middle of that battle. But the president brought Xi in and did what Donald Trump does frequently, which is negotiate with our adversaries, and I am confident, press the interest of the United States, the contest with China.
I think is the single biggest and most significant geopolitical threat facing this country for the next hundred years. And I, for one, am very glad we have a president like Donald Trump who's willing to stand up to China as compared to during the four years of Joe Biden, a president who would not do so.
Yeah, it was really interesting to see, and we're going to get into that meeting. And exactly what I always talked about, especially publicly, there's a lot that the media was covering. We're going to have all that for you in just a moment. Right now, somewhere in the world, there's a child waiting, not waiting for a birthday, not waiting for Christmas, waiting for someone to choose them. That's what Compassion International does every single day. They connect children living in poverty with someone who will know their name, pray for them, encourage them and help provide the food, medical care, education and hope they need through a local church. Now, this year, Compassion is expanding into four new countries, Malawi, Zambia, Cambodia, and Myanmar, meaning there are thousands of children that are being reached for the very first time.
What happened at President Trump’s state dinner with Xi Jinping and why does it matter?
Now, you can join me in sponsoring a child for just $43 a month. You literally can be the reason one child stops waiting. So sponsor a child today at Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com. All right, Senator, I want to go back to the state dinner. And there was some criticism by some of the people that I know well in the world of politics who were saying the president shouldn't be rolling out the red carpet for China, shouldn't be doing a state dinner, shouldn't be smiling and grinning. And I laughed. because this is a president that's made it clear, whether it was his first term or second term, he'll meet with anyone, anywhere to negotiate a deal. And he also, as you mentioned the guest list, this was a who's who to show strength.
You had in the banking industry, for example, Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase, who's there. You've got Elon Musk and that team there. You've got all these AI people in those sectors. So whether it is launching satellites or AI or the banking world, the president made it clear at this state dinner, he wanted China to see, what America has on our side and what they're up against. And by the way, China did not have a bunch of CEOs there on their side at all.
Well, and I will say that the perspective of much of the world has changed on China significantly. You know, when I was first elected to the Senate 14 years ago, I was saying then that the contest with China was the most important battle we had for the next century. Yeah. That was a really lonely position at the time. There was virtually nobody in Washington who agreed with me. the Democrats all disagreed. They all wanted to get in bed with China. And at the time, most of the Republicans did too.
