For taking advantage of the u. S. On trade . Good morning and welcome to early start. Big reversal from the Campaign Rhetoric. Its a long way. Thursday, november 9th4 00 in the east, 5 00 p. M. In beijing. We start with republicans trying to regain their footing. If the party can get anything done legislatively and if the gop can avoid a disaster. Exit poles show anger at the president. Republicans appear divided about what drove their defeat. Frequent trump critic john mccain scolded his fellow republicans said i predicted this and unless we get our act together were going to lose heavily. Then, the antitrump wave. They wrote democrats came out in droves to send a message to donald trump. The cliche is not to reach too much into an offyear election, this defeat was broad and deep enough to show that republicans will struggle to hold Congress Next year. Others pinning it more an fru frustration on the partys base. Ko we need to start making our legislation match our Campaign Rhetoric and today we have not done that. Now republicans are scrambling, can trumps message work when the messenger himself is mr. Trump. Bannon retreating from his claims that trumps ideas could win without trump to sell them. We lost by five points. Im a virginian, and i never had a lot of confidence. It was never in our battle plan we were going to win virginia. I thought, even with donald trump at the head of the ticket we would by one or two points. We lost by five points. We have new evidence this porng that the struggles faced by republican candidates are in fact linked to an eroding view of the president s performance. New cnn polling reveals real concerns about President Trump even among his core consent wents. 54 we white non College Educated voters, the heart of the president s base, how is the president failing president asked if the president has respect of other countries, 68 say no. 24 say yes. When it comes to the president s handling of the health care policy. 59 disapprove. According to exit polling health care was a top issue for vote ares in virginia. That comes as no surprise to democratic senator patty murphy. If Republican Leaders havent gotten the message, voters made can clear last night they reject the deeply partisanship weve seen on health care. Joe biden tearing in. He slammed the president s response to the white house supremacist rally in charlottesville over the summer. Did any one of you ever think that you would see in one of the historic cities in meramerica fs coming out from under rocks carrying swastikas, literally reciting the same antisemitic bile we heard in the 30s. It is wrong. And i think what happened last night, all across the country, including with republicans, is tired of this. Its undermining the social fabric of the nation. Biden was also asked if he would have defeated trump had he run. He was saved by the bell as his wife jumped in saying weve got to go while the crowd laughed and applauded.

We agreed not to replicate failed approaches of the past, and there were many. Together, we have in our power to finally liberate this region. And the world from this very Serious Nuclear menace. But it will require collective action. Collective strength and devotion to winning the peace. So security there obviously a key topic on the Korean Peninsula, but trade also front and center in all the conversations between the leaders. Very heard a very different tone here in beijing from President Trump softening his tone against china. He address iflly attacked china for stealing u. S. Jobs and hurting the economy during the campaign. He took a different tone today. I dont blame china. After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens. I give china great credit.

Mr. Trump calling on all responsible nations to stop harming and working with what he calls a murderous regime. The entire civilized world must unite to confront the north korean menace. And the entire world is watching us right now. Pressidents remarks after they accused him as war mongering. Some color full lang theruage t. Surprising to hear the president say that china can fix the north korean problem here quickly and here xi not address the issue at all or did he . Reporter good morning. Certainly had a long and what was described as a productive discussion about this. He did address the issue in terms of saying that china is committed to denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula but of course north korea already has access to Nuclear Weapons so unclear how far that commitment goes. The reality is the two leaders did talk for a couple hours really in a rolling series of meetings here. But the president , when he was talking to reporters earlier, he said that they shared a commitment on this unified goal. Lets watch. We agreed not to replicate failed approaches over the past. And there were many. Together, we have in our power to finally liberate this region and the world from this very Serious Nuclear menace. But it will require collective action. Collective strength and collective devotion to winning the peace. So you hear collective strength, devotion, that was really a theme of this entire visit. President trump clearly trying to build a rapport with the chinese president because he knows the best hope for controlling north korea is with the help of china. Economically, as well as militarily. But thats certainly was the major focus of the meeting here. We had a briefing just a short time ago with secretary of state Rex Tillerson talking about the rest of the president s trip and there is still a question if that meeting with Vladimir Putin is going to happen at vietnam at a economic summit there. Secretary tillerson said it is not fine fall liesealized. I asked him if russian meddling was still on the table for a discussion between the president s. Secretary tillerson said yes that would be on the table for any meeting should that happen. We will find out if it happens on friday as the president makes his way to vietnam from here in china. President has repeatedly called on russia on this trip to do more to stop north korea. All right. Live for us in beijing. Thank you.

Many colleagues raising questions about the authority of the branchs when it comes to using nuclear force. Its been more than 40 years since either the senate Foreign Relations committee or House Foreign Affairs committee examined the issue. Senator corker has frequently criticized the president. In a radical change 234 h tone, President Trump is praising chinas trade practices, saying he doesnt fault the country for taking advantage. Listen. I dont blame china. After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens . Sh i give china great credit. Definitely a 180 from what we heard during the campaign. Instead, he blamed past administrations. Now, secretary of state Rex Tillerson called trumps words tongue in cheek, but it was a huge departure from his usual tough talk. Trump often calls the trade dealings unfair and that they hurt u. S. Workers. He made these remarks after two hours of talk. He also announced 250 billion in agreements between u. S. Companies and china. But that figure wont make a dent in the 309 billion trade deficit with china. That happens to be the biggest for the u. S. Republican lawmakers trying to recover their footing after big election losses tuesday night and now it remains to be seen if the party can get anything done ledge slaytively and if the gop can avoid disaster in the 2018 mid terms. Polls show anger at President Trump energized democrats. They voted in ig aboutbigger nu than in the past. Republicans appear divided about what drove their defeat. Frequent trump critic john mccain scolded. The conservative editorial added its voice to the chorus of warnings. They wrote, democrats came out in droves to send a message of opposition to donald trump. A gop candidates were swamped in the undertow.

Mark meadows saying we need to start making our legislation match our Campaign Rhetoric, and to date, we have not done. That. Now republicans are scrambling to confront a big question. Can trumps message work when the messenger isnt trump himself. Steve bannon backed republican ed gillespie who lost the race. The now ban non is retreating from his claims that trumps ideas could win even without trump to sell them. Weve lost by 5 points. Im a virginian and i never had a lot of confidence. It was never in our battle plan we were going to win virginia. I thought with donald trump at the head of the ticket we would virginia, because of Northern Virginia is not a purple state anymore. Its a blue state. We have new evidence this morning that the struggles faced by republican candidates are fact linked to an eroding concern. Even 64 of americans say they have less kfts in him now an when he took office. Only 30 say they are more confident. White non collegeeducated voters, the heart of the president s base also losing faith. 52 say their confidence in mr. President trump has declined. How is the president faring on keeping his promises . Only 40 say hes doing it down from 48 in april. Asked if he has the respect of our countries, just 24 say yes. When it comes to health care policy, 59 disapprove with 33 saying he is doing a good job. According to exit polls health care was a top issue.

If Republican Leaders hadnt gotten the message voters made it clear last night they reject the deeply harmful partisanship we have seen on health care. Meanwhile joe biden tearing in. He was asked for his blunt take. He slammed the president s response at the white supreme cyst rally. Did any one of you ever think that you would see, in one of the historic cities in america, folks coming out from under rocks and out of the fields with torches carrying swastikas literally reciting the same exact antisem met ic bile we heard in the 30s. This is eating at the fabric of this country. It is wrong. And i think what happened last night all across the country, including with republicans, is tired of this. Its undermining the social fabric of the nation. Biden was asked if he would have defeated trump in the 2016 election had he run. He was saved by the bell as his wife jill jumped in saying weve got to go, while the crowd laughed and applauded. But something tells me this is not the last we will see of joe biden. Do you think hes going to run . You get a feeling theres a chance. I do. Ahead, former top Officials Say theyre concerned that the cia chief met with a noted conspiracy theorist.
