As more questions and fears arise over flock cameras, the Senate holds a hearing to get some answers.

Josh Hawley (1:27)

This is still the United States of America, and it shouldn't be that when you walk out your door in the morning, you just have to agree and assent and accept the fact that you're going to be on camera morning, noon, and night.

China's President Xi Jinping is wrapping his state visit today after meeting with President Trump with Xi saying the US and China must coexist in peace.

John Bickley (2:47)

Joining us now with the details is Mary Margaret Olohan, White House correspondent for the Daily Wire. Great to see you.

Mary Margaret Olohan (2:52)

Good morning. Great to see you.

John Bickley (2:54)

So I know it's been really busy for you over the last few days. Let's start with this visit from China's President Xi. How has this big event gone so far?

Mary Margaret Olohan (3:04)

Well, it has been a little chaotic, John and Georgia, because this has been all anyone at the White House has been talking about, all anyone has been thinking about these two world leaders meeting at the White House. Of course, President Trump went to China in February. They rolled out the red carpet literally for him. It was very dramatic, very royal, very ostentatious. And we're seeing a little bit of that here at the White House this week. What we saw was literally a red carpet rolled out for Xi at Joint Base Andrews when he arrived a couple nights ago. And then at the White House yesterday, all kinds of pomp and circumstance and multiple bilateral meetings between President Trump and President Xi as they discussed all sorts of topics including Iran, including AI. We're hoping that they talked about Jimmy Lai, the Chinese billionaire who's been imprisoned by President Xi and has been so many people, including Daily Wire, advocating for his release. So very long day that ended in a state dinner that concluded around 10 p.m. So everyone, including myself, was very happy for that day to be over. But I did want to note to John and Georgia, there was a crazy element at the White House yesterday where everyone is a little uneasy. Everyone is a little on edge because, of course, China is one of our greatest adversaries. That was reflected even in the way the Chinese press treated myself and the other members of the American press.
