minutes from now, president biden will speak after making progress with china, but then calling president xi jinping a dictator. the live remarks ahead. plus, new indications that israel's ground offensive in gaza could be expanding to the south. leaflets with being dropped in the area warning civilians to move toward known shelters. all of this with the idf six hours into its raid at gaza's largest hospital. questions still remain about what was found inside. and congressman george santos says he will not seek re-election after a damning ethics report, one that found, quote, substantial evidence he used campaign funds for personal purposes including botox and onlyfans. we're following these major developing stories and more all coming in right here to c cnn "news central." ♪ president biden says he made progress with chinese president xi jinping in their four-hour meeting yesterday, but did president biden squander good will with their off the cuff statement after their summit? the u.s. and china are at the lowest point in half a century. yesterday biden sat down with xi in an effort to ease those tensions and to gauge beijing's posture on global flash points from ukraine to gaza. they vowed to reopen military communications and combat the illicit fentanyl trade. these talks between biden and mj lee made headlines. >> mr. president, after today, would you still refer to president xi as a dictator? >> well, look, he is. he's a dictator in the sense that he is a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that's based on a government totally different than ours. >> and we will be hearing from president biden later this hour to see if he adds to those remarks. let's go now to mj lee who asked that question. tell us about what has happened after this remark which keep in mind, he made, biden, he may be speaking the truth, but in the world of diplomacy, you have to be very careful about how you speak the truth. >> reporter: yeah. that's a really good point, and chinese officials were not pleased about that comment in particular, the chinese foreign ministry saying overnight that these comments were extremely erroneous and irresponsible, but as you say, these were unplanned, off the cuff comments that the president made at the time end of a lengthy press conference. you could see that secretary of state antony blinken perhaps for a moment seemed fidgety and a little uncomfortable, but what i can tell you is that the white house today is not at all dwelling on that moment. they are very much trying to focus on what they say was real progress that was made yesterday after that four-hour summit between president biden and president xi where they said that they were able to accomplish what they set out to accomplish, and that was in the big picture, to try to take down the tension between those two countries. of course, some of the deliverables that you mentioned, the re-establishment of the military communications between the two countries, the announcement on cracking down on fentanyl, and we heard the president saying afterwards that going forward if there is a problem, there is a conflict between the two countries, that he is confident that the two leaders will be able to pick up the phone and actually talk through the issues. so in the bigger sense, i think u.s. officials will be touting this as having been a successful summit. a lot of planning went into this. the stakes were incredibly high, and they say that they are now in a much better place in terms of at least being able to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and misperceptions between the two countries. >> and mj, biden talked about israel after this meeting. what did he say? >> reporter: yeah. it was interesting, you know, at this press conference that came after the biden/xi summit, there were a lot of questions that were focused on the israel/hamas war. the president fielded questions about the hostage negotiations. he said that he remained mildly optimistic, but stopped short of offering any details about why he thought this. on the al shifa hospital, and israel's claimed there is a hamas command center under it and i pressed him, and he said he is shutly confident based on everything he knows that is the truth. he can't didn't get into what kind of intelligence he has to back that up and he said he couldn't predict how long this is going to last, but he said how this will end had to end with a two-state solution and he told the israelis that what isn't acceptable is for the israelis to reoccupy gaza. so again, a lot of focus on the ongoing situation in israel and gaza. >> certainly there is. mj, thank you so much. we'll be awaiting president biden's remarks here in a bit. >> we just heard mj talk about what the president has been saying as he's meeting with pacific nation leaders standing by his refusal to call for a ceasefire in israel's war on hamas. it's left more than 11,400 people dead in gaza. that is what the palestinian minute city said today, citing medical sorrurces in the enclav. defense forces were asked to relief proof of the command center they say is behind -- underneath rather, gaza's largest hospital. idf troops raided the facility yesterday and a spokesman says israeli forces remain active in and around the hospital. the idf released video from inside the hospital saying it shows military equipment used by hamas. gaza's government media office which is run by hamas says israel is lying. cnn cannot verify either side's claims. let's bring in oren liebermann on this. what is happening right now, oren? >> reporter: israeli troops are inside the hospital complex. this has been since the early hours of wednesday morning, and they remain inside there. going slowly and deliberately according to the idf, looking and operating in specific areas as they gather what they call concrete evidence that hamas has used the hospital for its own operations. that was an idf spokes american saying weapons he insists were found inside the hospital as well as ammunition, protective vests, but that's a far cry from what the idf has for years claimed and even published 3-d renderings of, and that's an infrastructure underneath the hospital. that is something we have not seen any evidence of to this point. senior adviser to prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that will take time even as doctors and health officials inside the hospital insist that hamas doesn't use it for its own purposes, that it is a medical facility. the largest in gaza has effectively been knocked out of commission for several days now because of idf operations. it's important to note it's not just the idf's and israel's credibility that's at stake here. you heard from president joe biden a short moment ago, and you heard from john kirby from the national security council say the u.s. has very much backed israel up on this claim that hamas has facilities underneath the hospital, but to this point, we have yet to see those facilities or evidence substantiated those claims right now. >> all right, oren, thank you so much for that. as we await to see further evidence of the fact that there is a command node under that hospital as israel said. i want to bring in cnn's nada bashir in jerusalem. tell us about these leaflets that were dropped. >> well, this is certainly raising concern around the situation in southern gaza. today reports of leaflets dropping in neighborhoods on the eastern side of the city, the largest city in southern gaza, these neighborhoods said to be near the perimeter fence which separates israel from the gaza strip, leaflets warning citizens there to move and head toward known shelters, and we're hearing these reports from people on the ground including rights groups who heard their colleagues on the ground, ybut cnn cannot independently verify the details, but what this signals is we could see a further spread of the israeli ground incursion into parts of southern gaza, particularly now as israel declares control over northern gaza. this is a huge point of consent as we know because there are some 1.5 million palestinians, people inside the gaza strip according to the u.n. who are now internally displaced. as we saw in the early weeks of the war, israel dropping leaflets in northern gaza, warning civilians there to evacuate southwards. they have according to the israeli military established evacuation routes. we've seen videos of hundreds of people in gaza walking that long distance to southern gaza. now there are fears that there is nowhere safe, if indeed we twins to see ground incursions spreading. we heard yesterday from the israeli defense minister indicating that the idf is looking to further move its forces further south, that this is a process that could take months, and of course, as we know, there are hundreds of thousands of people, families, childrens in southern gaza now taking shelter. many of them, hundreds of thousands of them taking shelter in u.n.-run schools and important to underscore, while we have seen that evacuation push to the south, we have continued to see air strikes, and hospitals completely overwhelmed in the south, but this suggestion that we could begin to see a ground incursion in the south has certainly raised alarm, pamela. >> thank you so much. let's discuss this now with cnn national security analyst beth saner. she served as deputy director of national intelligence. beth, why do you think we have not seen the evidence of this hamas command center underneath the hospital that israel's military insists is there, and said it would release, and how important is it that they show this? >> well, it is obviously pretty important that that was the justification for their going into this hospital, and all the criticism about it. they kind of have to show that, but, you know, i guess it is early. i'm kind of surprised, frankly. i'm surprised that they haven't found it, especially with what the united states has said to back up the israeli claims. so either they know something we don't, or the evidence that they had wasn't as good as what they thought. >> or has it changed perhaps? is there a way this evidence could have been hidden or is that not really a possibility? >> a tunnel is a tunnel is a tunnel, you know. you block off an entryway. i don't know. i think we're just going to have to wait and see on this, but it's not a good look. >> you mentioned the u.s. backing, that the israelis have gotten on this. president biden telling cnn that he was absolutely confident based on intelligence he'd seen that hamas was operating a command center understood beneath the al shifa hospital although he wouldn't share the intel. that's not -- >> fair. >> -- that unusual. how much is president biden putting u.s. credibility at risk, and is he going out on a limb here? >> this is the thing that i have been saying is that, you know, u.s. interests and israeli interests are not 100% aligned here. we have our own interests to protect. we have our own reputation to protect, and so, you know, personally i don't want to criticize president biden, but, like, i never used the word absolutely when it comes to intelligence. that is when people turn around and, you know, accuse me of intelligence failure. so there's only one way to have absolute certainty, and that is you have, you know, overhead that actually really shows that or radar or something, photographs, something that is, like, really factually based. i have no idea whether we have that or not, but i would be more circumspect myself. >> so short of photographs, if, you know, what kind of intelligence would biden have to see to get him that confidence? it would be photograph. >> probably or radar imagery that would show that that facility underneath exists. there are tunnels everywhere. >> that's right. >> so you can see maybe a tunnel, but is it a command center? i don't know. >> how do you discern between the two? there's also so low visibility outside as to what is happening inside this hospital. how is it possible to verify it or to know exactly what is going on? >> there is no way to do that. period. >> period. well put there. okay. so you heard nada reporting on these leaflets that are being dropped on southern gaza which is raising this possibility of now that is expanding, that sort of zone of warfare is expanding, and the idf is taking more control of the ground. how could that impact negotiations for hostages? >> well, obviously this is the thing i think everybody has been foc foc focused on is we have these competing priorities. we want the idf to go quickly because this we want this to end. we want the hostages back, and that is front of mind for this administration and for many, obviously, the families and all of us to get those hostages back, right? and then you also have the collateral damage. that is just growing and growing and growing. so these dilemmas are coming together because anybody who thought that the war was going to be confined and not go to every place in gaza really wasn't paying attention to the fact that, you know, the head of hamas is called the butcher. hamas is, you know, owns gaza. >> yeah, and hamas of course, known for its brutal tactics, and he is known for the most brutal among those tactics. such a good point to make. beth, thank you for your insight. >> thank you. a damning ethics report out, and now congressman george santos says he's out too. he's going to be anyways. the embattled republican saying he will not seek re-election after a panel found, quote, substantial evidence that santos used campaign funds for personal use. we're talking about spas, and even a porn site. we are live on the hill with more. plus, the never-before-seen video of alec baldwin firing prop guns while filming the movie "rust." this is footage that was captured days before a live round killed the movie's cinemat cinematographer. what this could mean for popotential chcharges in t the . the house ethics committee just dropped a bombshell on embattled republican congressman george santos and just released the findings of its ethics probe into his conduct and found there is substantial evidence that santos used his office for personal financial gain and he lied about it. the report details multiple allegations of fraud and also spending that had nothing to do with political campaigns. for example, paying off personal credit card bills, a $4,100 purchase at hermes, botox, and an online subscription service, onlyfans, aka a porn site. they found even more illegal committee allegedly committed by santos and they have referred those actions to the department of justice. what is not in the report is a recommendation to expel the congressman. that could change here in the next 24 hours. cnn chief congressional reporter man manu raju is here with more. santos reacting with a bombshell of his own. >> reporter: saying he will not run for re-election even as he blasted this committee, suggesting that it's only aimed at smearing him, calling it biased, even as it is a bipartisan panel that came up with this recommendation. santos just two weeks ago told me that he, quote, absolutely would run for his seat again even if he were to be expelled by the house. a clear different approach now saying that he will not run for re-election. he blamed it on increased press scrutiny and said he wants to spend time with his family amid all of this. now this report could potentially change the calculation on capitol hill s saying he fraudulently exploited every aspect of his house candidacy for his own personal financial profit. now this is also part of the indictment he's facing on 23 counts of fraud, things he has pleaded not guilty to in federal court. a couple of weeks ago i did ask him about that allegation that he used donors' credit cards for his own personal financial benefit, and this is what he said. >> you bought designer goods and benefit yourself with the donors' money. >> essentially, everything i do, everything i've spent in my account is going to be, oh my god, george santos stole money and bought designer clothes. i have been a client of them for many years, and if you go through my closet and you'll see. it's not like i bought all my clothes and shoes in the campaign, and narratives can be built, and i'll accept that. the government has a burden of proving guilt. i have the benefit of proving my innocence. >> reporter: now the question is if that kind of explanation will be enough to convince republicans in particular not to expel him from the house, we do expect the republican chairman of the house ethics committee, michael guest tomorrow to file a resolution calling for his expulsion. that vote would not happen until the end of the month at the earliest. they'll give members some time how to vote. likely we could expect democrats to vote in lock step to kick him out of the house. the expectation, and the question of the moment is will republicans join them? there are members who are concerned about actually expelling someone who has not yet been convicted in a court of law. in the american history, there have only been five members who have been expelled from the house. two of them were convicted in court. the latest being in 2002. the other three were kicked out because of their ties to the confe confederacy. you can see how rare it is, and it can take such dramatic action here, but potentially given all the scrutiny he's facing and the damning ethics report and the lack of support he has now on capitol hill. >> yeah. another twist. maybe towards the end of the story here, though. manu raju, thank you for your coverage of the story. let's get some reaction now from a fellow republican member of congress. joining us now is congressman warren davidson of ohio. he is a member of the house freedom caucus. congressman, thanks for being here with us today. so you just heard manu's report. the house ethics committee releasing its report this morning on your gop colleague george santos saying, there is substantial evidence that he used thousands of dollars in campaign funds for personal use, following the release of this report and new york governor kathy hochul is calling for him to resign. you voted not to expel him two weeks ago. there could be another vote after thanksgiving. where do you stand today? >> i haven't read the report. i look forward to reading it and i have a lot of respect for michael guest and they're presenting this as findings of fact. that's not the same as a trial, and, you know, i thought that it was relevant that manu pointed out that it has been rare that someone's -- extremely rare that someone's been expelled from congress without a conviction. so i think that's where the default is for normally people in both parties, although lots of times things get politicized. i've never even spoken with george santos. so -- and i haven't really had a lot of desire to get to know him, but on the other side, when you look at the precedent is, well, someone gets their day in court. they get the benefit of innocent until proven guilty. on the other hand, i look forward to reading the reports and saying, yeah, does this really make sense as a presentation of facts? we'll make a decision based on that. >> let me just tell you, here's a quote from the report since you say you haven't read it. the panel concluded santos sought to, quote, fraudulently exploit every aspect of his house candidacy for his own personal financial profit. it sounds like where you stand today, you would not vote to expel him despite what the ethics committee found, or are you -- just tell us where you stand exactly. >> reporter: the default is i'm looking for someone that would be convicted. they get innocent until proven guilty. on the other side, we bring proceedings all the time in the house that say, we should probably expel somebody or fire somebody. i'll look forward to the presentation of the facts. i haven't heard them or read them all myself, but i will say primarily this is between george santos and the people that sent him here, and i imagine there's probably mixed feelings in his own district. >> right, and the people that sent him there of course, didn't know all of this when they initially sent him there, right? i think that is part of the issue here, but -- so basically you're undecided. is that correct? >> yeah. i would say that's accurate. >> okay, and i wonder, you know, how much is, you know, you being undecided, how much does it have to do with this being a numbers game, given the tight margin for republicans in the house? there yeah, i don't think that's the factor. >> i think the factor is the precedent has been in both parties that people don't get expelled unless they are convicted of a crime, and frankly sometimes that's been controversial to expel people after they're convicted of crimes. normally when you see campaign finance issues, and there have been some in my time here where members have been accused of doing things with their campaign finances. sometimes without their knowledge, or with other people in the campaign, and they get a chance to make restitution, pay fines, work that out with the fec, and normally those aren't things that result in criminal prosecution though. those are, you know, things that are considered, you know, errors of omission rather than real flagrant violations of the law, and it sounds like where the ethics committee has come down at the end of this is they see findings of fact that indicate criminal violations. >> yes, that is certainly what the report is indicating. i want to ask you about the speaker's stopgap funding bill calling it -- you called it disappointing and a, quote, bad decision. i'm wondering, would it have been possible for the new speaker to pass a spending bill that you and other freedom caucus members liked, you were on board with, and passed in both the house and senate where there wouldn't be a shutdown of the government? >> well, our job isn't to run the senate. our job is to run the house, and i think there was a chance for us to do what we said we would do, and one of those things is we said we would cut spending. one of those things is we said we would change policies, and look. two-thirds of the house and two-thirds of the senate already voted to cut spending. that was part of the debt limit deal. this cr that speaker johnson put on the floor and passed with 93 republicans voting no, only two democrats voting no, had no cuts whatsoever. so it didn't even implement what is supposed to be the said. ing level as part of the debt ceiling deal. >> they would argue this was what was previously agreed upon, but i want to ask you about looking ahead. your colleague chip roy said members of the house freedom caucus will give the new speaker ten days to figure out a plan that satisfies their demands. what if speaker johnson doesn't satisfy those demands after ten days and is there room for compromise here? >> well, chip roy can speak for chip roy. he can't speak for a group and frankly if that changes, then i'm in the wrong group, you know, i have been part of this group since i got elected. i came in, in june of 2016, and so look. i have a longstanding relationship with the freedom caucus. i think we're collectively making principled stands, but we have to do that together. chip doesn't speak for the whole group. i don't like giving these ultimatums. i've got a great relationship with speaker johnson and i are a great relationship with speaker mccarthy. it doesn't have to be personal. that's what i said when we were select a new speaker, and no one who campaigned on a plan to maintain the status quo would have been selected speaker and i get the realities of trying to maintain a four corners deal. a new speaker has to build relationships with those as well as with the conference that sent him there, but sent him to fight for the things we're going to do, and that's what the conference expects. >> warren davidson, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. well, new video shows alec baldwin on the scene of "rust" just days before the shooting that killed the film's cinematographer. ahead, what it could mean for potential charges in the case. and that historic bust in new york city. the largest seizure of counterfeit items in u.s. his history. the amazing details coming up right here on cnn "news central". c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit. but you get used to it. try these. they're noise cancelling earmuffs. i stole them from an airport. it's always something with you, man. great! solid! -greek salad? exactly! don't delay the game with verizon or t-mobile 5g home internet. catch it on the xfinity 10g network. just into cnn, we are learning the body of an israeli hostage who was kidnapped on october 7th has just been found. cnn's oren liebermann is in tel a aviv, israel. what more can you tell us and what more do we know about this hostage that was found? >> reporter: pam, we have just a few details here. from the kibbutz on the outside of gaza near the gaza border suffered some of the hardest parts of the terror attack on october 7th, her body was found in gaza, and the idf notified her family she has died. what's unclear is how she died, whether she was killed while being held by hamas or whether she died in israeli bombardment. she was found in a structure near the shifa hospital complex. there has been tremendous fighting around that, and they have been operating in that area for several days before it moved into the hospital complex itself early wednesday morning. it's unclear if she died as part of the bombardment or and she was killed while held hostage. let me read a short part of this. abducted by the hamas terrorist organization, and she was extracted from a structure adjacent to the al shifa hospital. military equipment including rifles and rpgs were also found. this is the second israeli hostage who has died in captivity, the first, noa marciano. we just heard from her family that her family demanded israel do more first to bring back the bodies for a proper burial here in israel, and second, do more to release all the other hostages who are still being held in gaza. pam? >> right. the more than 200, and of course, this raises the bigger question of how this could complicate freeing those other hostages that are still being held by hamas. >> reporter: israel has viewed its campaign as part of a pressure campaign on hamas to get to some sort of hostage exchange or agreement. the framework has sort of come into focus here and we've gotten snippets of how it might look, although the exact numbers are hard to pin down because there hasn't been an agreement yet. 50, 70, 100 hostages released at first. women and children in exchange for prolonged other several days for a pause in the fighting, but it hasn't come into sharp focus because there hasn't been an agreement yet. israel says it will continue its campaign until the hostages are rel released, but you're right, pam. this certainly complicates that as we learn that a second hostage has been killed in captivity. >> oren liebermann, our hearts and thoughts are with the family of that hoss tage that was foun dead according to israeli officials. thank you so much. we'll be right back. new today, videos exclusively obtained by nbc news showing alec baldwin handling at least one prop gun while he was filming scenes for the movie "rust." this is never-before-seen footage that was taken in 2021, days before baldwin's prop gun went off on set killeding cinematographer halyna hutchins and injuring the director. it shows baldwin rehearsing a scene, talking with crew members, and firing a prop gun with blanks. >> step back to your original mark. so one-one thousand, 1-one thousand, and i'm getting up. that means and he's getting close and then i'll start to really get up. let's try it. >> everyone in the path of the gun, could you please move? >> we have cnn's josh campbell here with more. josh, tell us why this footage is now just coming to light, and also what this is showing us. >> reporter: yeah. interesting insight here into the actions on that set. in this new video obtained by nbc news, you know, prosecutors had previously accused alec baldwin of recklessness, but in these videos, you actually see baldwin talking with crew members about safety. we'll play these videos here, and listen here specifically at the direction that baldwin is giving to other members on the set. >> now wait a second. i'm going to shoot right. do you want to go to the other side of the camera? i don't want to shoot toward you. i don't want to shoot close to you. here we go. >> ready, and action. >> no! >> reporter: these videos appear to bolster baldwin's case that he took safety seriously, but machin someone still died on this set, a live round of ammunition making its way into that gun. this is a set that faced multiple safety issues. >> and just a reminder, involuntary manslaughter charges, those were dismissed in april, but a grand jury is now considering whether to refile them. why is that? >> reporter: yeah, you know, this case has gone through rocky periods. i think to put it charitably, two of the prosecutors stepped down. charges were actually dropped because there was a potential issue with evidence. authorities then said that, look. if we actually determined that baldwin is culpculpable, we wil refile charges and we're waiting to see if a jury will recharge baldwin. i want to play what i was told early on. they link the investigation and here's what they found as part of the culture of unsafe practices in their view on the set. have a listen. >> there was such a lack of safety and safety standards on that set that there were live rounds on set. they were mixed in with regular dumbny dummy rounds. he didn't check it. he didn't do any of the things to milwake sure he was safe or anyone around him was safe and he pointed the game at halyna hutchins and pulled the trigger. >> reporter: he had two roles here. he was not only the actor holding the gun when that gun went off, but he was also a producer. there was a question here. a lot that this grand jury has to grapple with, both in the moment of the shooting and also in the role of this culture on set. previous crew members said they didn't feel safe and we have to see what the grand jury decides. were there things that could have been dicorrected weeks or months in advance that could have prevented this shooting? we'll see what the grand jury does about it. >> josh campbell, thank you for that report. let's turn to the other headlines that we are watching this hour. america's best-selling car, the toyota camry is going full hybrid. the next-generation camry will only be available with hybrid engines. this comes as toyota doubles down on hybrids betting some drivers are reluctant to go electric. and counterfeit goods are off the streets today. this after what new york prosecutors are calling the largest knockoff bust in u.s. history. agents hauled away about 220,000 fake designer bags, clothes, shoes, and other luxury items from a storage facility. two men are under arrest. and the private company spacex is set to relaunch its megarocket starship tomorrow after the first attempt exploded shortly after takeoff. the starship is the most powerful launch vehicle ever made and it's designed to be reusable. federal regulators officially greenlit the mission yesterday. and still ahead, republican pressure growing on senator tommy tuberville to end his blockade of more than 400 military nominees. tensions flaring as several senators stayed up late into the night to fight it. so what happens next? that's's ahead. we'll be r right back.k. . several republican senators pulling a near all-nighter on the senate floor in an attempt to confirm top military promotions. for the past nine months their fellow republican tommy tuberville has blocked numbers of nominations over the pentagon's abortion travel policy. lauren fox live on capitol hill for us. anything in sight here for the end of these holds on these general and flag officers that have been going on for a better part of the year here? >> reporter: yeah. republican colleagues of congressman tuberville weren't successful in any of the nominations to get agreement last night, but what this whole exercise shows is the fact that there's continued frustration growing, growing frustration on holds at this point, and despite the fact there have been multiple members who have tried to work with him, find a potential off-ramp, he has yet to agree to any of those ideas, and right now you're starting to hear from senate republicans that they may be able to help democrats change the rules if tuberville doesn't back off soon. here they are. >> if you do not believe these holds are having an effect on the military, i don't question your sincerity. i question your judgment. this will be the last holiday this happens. if it takes me to vote to break loose these folks, i will. >> this is personal to me. this is personal to this united states senator. >> all you have to do is suspen your godless, lawless abortion travel policy. you're blaming him for our supposed lack of military readiness. i can't believe anybody buys this crap, i really can't. >> and one of the potential off-ramps that republican senators have presented to senator tuberville is the idea of having the house of representatives sue the department of defense over their policies to reimburse travel expenses for military men and women who seek reproductive help outside of the state they live if if they can't get an abortion in that state. that's one potential off-r578 p, and it's something that senator tuberville said he's looking at, behuh has said he's not made a final decision. i'm told jay sekulow who lindsey graham is a lawyer who would be successful in leading that kind of lawsuit would be the one. he made the case to tuberville that's the best possible option. but it's up to tuberville to decide whether or not he's going to lease these holds. so far he says he's continuing to review the situation. >> he's been very consistent on. that lauren fox on the hill. thank you so much. president biden is set to speak here any minute, beijing already pushing back on biden once again calling xi jinping a dictator. we're going to bring you the president's latest remarks here live on cnn central.
