Peter Doocy: This is VERY unusual

FAULKNER FOCUS.". BYE-BYE FOR NOW. HERE IS HARRIS. >> Harris: HIGHLY WATCHED, HIGHLY ANTICIPATED, HIGH STAKES. VISIT IS ABOUT TO UNFOLD. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL MEET THE. PRESIDENT OF CHINA XI JINPING AT. JOINT BASE ANDREWS WHEN HE. ARRIVES TODAY. THE FIRST U.S. STATATE VISIT SH. OF A DECADE. YOU ARE IN "THE FAULKNER FOCUS.". THE PRESIDENT WILL HOST A STATE.

DINNER WITH TECH CEOs IN. ATTENDANCE. WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU THIS ALL. WEEK LONG. THE HOST OF ISSUES ON THE TABLE. WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECT AMERICANS'. LIVES. LET'S TAKEKE A LOOK. TRADE, TARIFFS, RARE EARTH. MINERALS AND MORE. TAIWAN WILL LIKELY BE TOP OF. MIND FOR XI. HE IS KEEPING UP CALLS FOR THE. UNITED STATES TO CANCEL A HUGE. WEAPONS SALE PACKAGE TO THE. ISLAND NATION. THE PRESIDENT COULD PRESS XI ON. REPORTS THAT CHINA IS HELPING. IRAN TARGET U.S. MILITARY FORCES.

FIGHTING THE TERRORIST REGIME IN. THE MIDDLE EAST. THE RACE, OF COURSE, FOR A.I. DOMINANCE IS LOOMING LARGE AFTER. CALLS FOR SOME TO SLOW DOWN OR. PAUSE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS. COUNTRY. THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID NO TO. THAT. IT IS HOT RIGHT NOW WITH CHINA. IT IS DOUBTFUL THEY WOULD PAUSE. WE'LL SEE. HERE IS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE. HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CHINA. >> THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES. WE NEED TO ADDRESS WITH CHINA.

THTHEIR SUPPORT FOR IRAN AND. RUSSIA. THE AGGRESSIVE POSTURE THEY HAVE. THROUGHOUT THE REGION TOWARDS. TAIWAN AND OTHER ALLIES OF OURS. SO THERE IS A LOT THAT HE CAN. COMMUNICATE BUT IN A RESPECTFUL. WAY. A WAY XI WILL RERESPECT HIM FOR. THAT AND KEEPING THE LEAD IN THE. A.I. RACE IS VERY IMPORTANT. >> Harris: AND WITH SO MUCH. EXPERIENCE REGARDING CHINA, I. CAN'T WAIT TO TALK WITH HIM.

MONTANA REPUBLICAN SENATOR STEVE. DANES SERVES ON THE FOREIGN. RELATION COMMITTEE COMING UP. I WANT TO GO TO SENIOR WHITE. HOUSE CORRESPONDENT PETER DOOCY. MORE ON THE MEETING COMING UP AT. THE WHITE HOUSE. >> THE BIGGEST SORE SPOT IN THE. TOWN FOR REPUBLICANS ALIGNED. WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP ON FOREIGN. POLICY IS THAT CHINA HAS. REPORTEDLY BEEN HELPING IRAN. WITH SOME INTEL PROVIDING INTEL. THAT IRAN WOULDN'T OTHERWISE. HAVE THAT HAS BEEN USED TO.

ATTACK AMERICAN INTEREST WITH. DEADLY RESULTS. >> IT WAS ALL OVER THE PRESS. CHINA GAVE IRAN SATELLITE. IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE. THAT INTELLIGENCE LED TO THE. DEATH OF AMERICAN TROOPS. SO I WOULD CERTAINLY SUGGEST. THAT THE PRESIDENT TRY TO GET AN. ANSWER TO THAT. >> OTHER ANSWERS WE HOPE TO GET. WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP PAUSE A $14. BILLION ARMS SALE TO TAIWAN? XI WANTS HIM TO. WILL THE TWO SIDES AGREE TO NEW.

A.I. SAFETY MEASURES IN A WAY TO. KEEP THE U.S. IN THE LEAD FOR. A.I. SUPREMACY? >> WE'LL SEE A LOT OF BACK ROOM. DISCUSSION HERE. NOT A LOT OF TRUST BETWEEN THE. UNITED STATES AND CHINA. CHINA HAS BEEN RIPPING US OFF, STEALING OUR INTELLECTUAL. PROPERTY, CONDUCTING MASSAGE. ESPIONAGE. MILITARIZING THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. AND THREATENING TAIWAN. >> Bill: INTEREST IN THE STATE. DINNER IS SO HIGH TOMORROW THAT. MANY INVITED GUESTS DON'T GET. PLUS ONES, ADDING A WRINKLE TO.

PLANNING LED BY THE FIRST LADY. >> THERE IS A PROTOCOL THEY NEED. TO FOLLOW. EVERY DETAIL I WAS INVOLVED FROM. TOMORROW ARRIVAL CEREMONY ON THE. SOUTH LAWN AND THEN I'M TAKING. MRS. XI TO THE SMITHSONIAN. MUSEUM. >> WHEN SHE LANDS LATER ON TODAY.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE THERE TO. MEET HIM. THE LAST TIME A U.S. PRESIDENT. WENT TO JOIN BASE ANDREWS TO. GREET A VISITING FOREIGN LEADER. WHEN JFK DID IT FOR THE VISITING. PRIME MINISTER AT THE U.K. HAROLD MCMILLAN IN 1962, HARRIS. >> Harris: WOW, PETER, SETTING. THE TABLE FOR A BIG OCCASION. APPRECIATE YOU GETTING US. STARTED THIS HOUR. THE "NEW YORK POST" EDITORIAL. BOARD WITH THIS ADVICE FOR.

PRESIDENT TRUMP A HEADLINE. TRUMP'S AGENDA FOR XI VISIT, GET. TOUGH. IT ARGUES IT WILL BE ALL SMILES. AND WARMTH BUT PLENTY OF TOUGH. TALK BEHIND CLOSED DOORS SINCE. BEIJING HAS BEEN HELPING IRAN. KILL AMERICANS AND SENDING. MOSCOW HELP TO PROLONG A WAR. TRUMP WANTS ENDED NOW. HE WILL PUSH HIS GUEST HARD ON. THESE POINTS. HE HAS THE LEVERAGE. NEW SANCTION POWERS LET HIM HIT. CHINA HARD IF IT KEEPS BACKING.

RUSSIA. OH, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS. INTERVIEW. REPUBLICAN MONTANA SENATOR STEVE. DANES SERVES ON THE FOREIGN. RELATIONS COMMITTEE, FINANCE. COMMITTEE AND A MEMBER OF THE. A.I. CAUCUS. I'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON THAT FOR A. COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW. LET'S START WITH XI'S VISIT AND. I DEFINITELY WANT TO GET TO A.I. AND LET THE AUDIENCE KNOW YOU. LIVED SEVERAL YEARS IN CHINA AND. OPENED PROCTOR AND GAMBLBLE AND. MANAGEED SEVERAL AMERICANS. COMPANIES THERE.

>> THE TWO LARGEST ECONOMIES IN. THE WORLD. CHINA, UNITED STATES. TWO LARGEST MILITARIES IN THE. WORLD AND TWO LEADERS IN A.I. IN. THE WORLD. THE STAKES COULD NOT BE HIGHER. THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING EVERY. MOMENT, EVERY WORD COMING OUT OF. WASHINGTON THIS WEEK. CREDIT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO. WAS JUST IN BEIJING IN MAY. ENGAGING WITH XI JINPING AND NOW. -- IT IS UNPRECEDENTED IN FOUR. SHORT MONTH TWO HEADS OF STATE,

TWO LARGEST COUNTRIES IN THE. RESPECTIVE CAPITALS. >> Harris: WHAT WORDS ARE YOU. LISTENING FOR? >> THE WORLD WANTS TO SEE THIS. RELATIONSHIP STAYING ON STABLE. TERMS. I HAVE THINK THE KEY WORD COMING. OUT OF OUR TEAM, THE UNITED. STATES IS WE WANT TO SEE. STRATEGIC STABILITY. YOU'VE HEARD THAT. THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS. DISRUPTION IN THIS RELATIONSHIP. DISRESULTS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY. AND MILITARILY POTENTIALLY. THE STAKES ARE VERY HIGH.

A CREDIT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR. KEEPING THIS RELATIONSHIP. THE LILINES OF COMMUNICATION OP. WITH XI JINPING. WE HAVE A GREAT AMBASSADOR OVER. IN CHINA, DAVID PERDUE. HE WORKED IN ASIA, WORKED IN. CHINA VERY CLOSE TO THE. PRESIDENT. COULDN'T HAVE A BETTER. AMBASSADOR AT THIS MOMENT IN. BEIJING. >> Harris: PRESIDENT TRUMP AT. THE U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY WITH. THIS ON A.I. WATCH. >> President Trump: THE UNITED. STATES ALSO TOTALLY REJECTS ANY. ATTEMPT TO CONSTRUCT A GLOBALIST.

SCHEME TO CONTROL FOR THE. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BEING. SPOKEN OF SO MUCH. EVERY MAJOR NEW TECHNOLOGY. BRINGS CHALLENGES. AND SUPER INTELLIGENCE IS NO. EXCEPTION. I'M NOT GOING TO STIFLE GROWTH. OF SOMETHING THAT WILL BE BIGGER. THAN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. MANY SAY BIGGER THAN THE. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION OR THE. INTERNET ITSELF. >> Harris: WE STARTED "THE. FAULKNER FOCUS" WITH HIS LAST. WORDS ON THAT YESTERDAY AND I. SAID HE WAS DEFINITELY KEEPING.

THE AMERICAN ECONOMY IN FULL. FOCUS. HE STARTED THERE. THIS KIND OF PLAYS TO THAT ALONG. WITH ISSUE ON A.I., THE AMERICAN. PUBLIC. NEW FOX NEWS POLL SHOWS 60% OF. ALL VOTERS SEE A.I. UNFAVORABLY. BROKEN DOWN BY PARTY 50%. IDENTIFY AS MAGA REPUBLICANS AND. FAVOR A.I. LESS THAN A THIRD OF DEMOCRATS. SAY THE SAME. WHY IS THERE A PARTISAN DIVIDE. ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE A.I.?

I KNOW THE CONVERSATION ABOUT. SLOWING IT DOWN. MOST PEOPLE ARE USING IT NOW, THOUGH. >> YEAH, IT BAFFLES ME A BIT. WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE IS GLOBAL. COMPETITION. WE HAVE GOT TO GO FASTER THAN. CHINA. THIS REALLY IS ALL ABOUT A RACE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS. HAPPENING IN TERMS OF PUBLIC. OPINION, IT HAS SHIFTED FROM THE. NEGATIVE SENTIMENT. IF I WERE CHINA LOOKING AT. WANTING TO INFLUENCE PUBLIC. OPINION IN AMERICA WHAT WOULD I. WANT TO SEE HAPPEN?

THE PUBLIC START TO MOVE AGAINST. A.I. >> Harris: OF COURSE. >> THIS CONCERNS ME A BIT WHAT. IS GOING ON IN SHAPING PUBLIC. OPINION. >> Harris: ALLOW ME TO CUT IN. YOU MENTIONED IT OFF CAMERA A. MOMENT AGO. YOU KNOW THAT PLACE WELL THAT'S. ONE OF THE TOP HUBS FOR A.I. IN. CHINA. YOU'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND. FORTH. TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT. WHAT DO THEY REALLY HAVE IN DO. WE HAVE ENOUGH EYES ON THEM AND. REASON TO THINK THEY SHARE OUR. VALUE SYSTEM WHEN IT COMES TO. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

>> ONE OF THE BIG CITIES IN. CHINA, ONE OF THEIR EPICENTERS. OF INNOVATION AND DEEP SEEK IS, THAT MADE WAVES IN TERMS OF A.I. FRONTIER MODELS WHERE XI JINPING. WAS NOT LONG AGO TALKING AT A. SUMMIT. CHINA IS GRADUATE TEN TIMES MORE. ENGINEERS EVERY YEARAR THAN WE E. IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE BUILDING OUT A WORLD. CLASS INNOVATION ECO SYSTEM THAT. GROWING LARGER EVERY DAY. WE'RE FALLING BEHIND IN TERMS OF.

INNOVATION ECO SYSTEM. STILL AHEAD IN A.I. CHINESE DO A BETTER JOB OF. ADOPTING IT. STANFORD RANKED CHINA SECOND IN. THE WORLD, RANKED THE UNITED. STATES 24TH. THIS IS WHY WE NEED ADAPTIVE. GOVERNANCE. LIT TOUCH TO MOVE AS FAST AS WE. CAN FROM THE INVOWVATION. VIEWPOINT BUT PROTECT DOWN SIDES. OF A.I. THOUGHTFUL LEADERSHIP IN.

WASHINGTON. STRONG INPUT FROM THE PRIVATE. SECTOR. THAT'S -- IT IS MOVING SO FAST, HARRIS, WE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH. IT. >> Harris: I JUST WANT TO END. THIS PORTION OF OUR INTERVIEW BY. SAYING THIS. AXIOS ANAND WE ARE SEEING SOME. THE CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE IN. CONGRESS, MANY OF THEM DON'T USE. -- THEY DON'T USE A.I. THERE IS SOME CONCERN NOT ON THE. A.I. CAUCUS AND WHAT YOU ARE. DOING AND YOUR MEMBERS BUT THERE. IS CONCERN IS THIS THE RIGHT. GROUP OF PEOPLE TO TAKE US. FORWARD? IT'S A FAIR QUESTION THAT VOTERS.

NO DOUBT WILL ASK AND BETWEEN. NOW AND THE NEXT 41 DAYS PERHAPS. THE ANSWERS WILL COME. YOU ARE LEADING IT. >> WE'VE NEVER SEEN A TECHNOLOGY. MOVE SO FAST. IT IS PROGRAMMING A.I. AND. BECOMING LESS ABOUT HUMANS. GENERATING IT BUT A.I. GENERATING THE NEXT A.I. MODELS. IT IS MOVING THAT FAST. THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU PUT. THE RIGHT KIND OF GUARDRAILS IN. PLACE TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN.

PUBLIC BUT DO NOT INHIBIT. INNOVATION. >> Harris: GOT IT. THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN IS. ADDRESSING THE U.N. GENERAL. ASSEMBLY. THAT HAPPENED MOMENTS AGO. THE NATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. WERE WATCHING AFTER PRESIDENT. TRUMP THREATENED TO ANNIHILATE. IRAN'S REGIME. WHAT WOULD THERE PRESIDENT HAVE. TO SAY ABOUT IN THIS? >> IRAN CANNOT BE MADE TO. SURRENDER. IRAN HAS NEVER, EVER BEEN AN. AGGRESSOR, HAS NEVER STARTED A.

WAR AND HAS ALWAYS SHOWN A. COMMITMENT TO THE NEGOTIATING. TABLE. IRANAN MUST BE UNDERSTOOD BY MR. TRUMP AND THOSE WHO SEEK TO. BULLY US THAT WE ARE READY FOR A. DIALOGUE AND DIPLOMACY AND. NEGOTIATIONS WITHOUT ACCEPTING. THE LANGUAGE OF FORCE. >> Harris: PRESIDENT TRUMP BY. THE WAY HUDDLED WITH THE GULF. COOPERATION COUNCIL TO TALK NEXT. STEPS ON IRAN. A LOT OF MOMENTUM FOR MAKING A. DEAL WITH IRAN. THE PRESIDENT GIVING THIS. WARNING AT THE WORLD GATHERING.

YESTERDAY. >> President Trump: I HAVE A BIG. DECISION TO MAKE. WILL A DEAL BE MADE WITH IRAN. THAT LETS THEM REBUILD AND. CREATE A FAR GREATER COUNTRY. THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE, MAYBE. ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE. MIDDLE EAST OR EVEN THE WORLD, OR DO I ANNIHILATE THE ISLAMIC. REPUBLIC AND DO IT QUICKLY, NEVER GIVING THEM M A CHANCE TO. KILL AND DESTROY PEOPLE AND. COUNTRIES AGAIN?

>> Harris: YOU THINK THE OTHER. COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WOULD JUMP AT THAT. THAT IS A VISION RIGHT THERE TO. LIFT A WHOLE LOT, 93 MILLION. PEOPLE OUT OF TORTURE AND ALL. THE THINGS THAT WE READ ABOUT TO. THE CITIZENS IN IRAN. MY BIG QUESTION COMING OUT OF. THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN, IS HE. EVEN IN CHARGE? WHAT KIND OF POWER DOES HE HAVE? >> IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHO. IS IN CHARGE AND WHO REALLY. SPEAKS FOR THE REGIME. >> Harris: DO YOU THINK IT HIM? >> THERE ARE OTHER VOICES AS.

WELL. LET'S THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS. WITH IRAN. THEY ARE DESTABILIZING THE. WORLD. HOUTHIS, HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, ALL. PROXIES OF IRAN. >> Harris: DO YOU THINK THEY ARE. STILL GIVING THEM MONEY? >> ABSOLUTELY. WHAT WOULD A WORLD BE LIKE WITH. THIS REGIME GONE AND THE PEOPLE. OF IRAN ARE GENERALLY PRO-AM CA. BACK IN CHARGE AGAIN. WE SAW THAT PRIOR TO 1979. I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS WHEN IRAN. WAS VERY DIFFERENT. IMAGINE WHAT OUR CHILDREN AND. GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE SOMEDAY. IF WE HAD AN I.
