let's send a message across the globe. donald trump, you don't stand for our values! >> you have a woefully unpopular american president and you're having an effect on that. >> this is a litmus test. >> they better start passing stuff and working like a government. >> i say to the north do not underestimate us. >> north koreans are accusing president trump of trying to ignite another war. >> the prospect of the north koreans actually denuclearizing is probably near zero. >> the weapons you're acquiring by putting your regime in grave danger. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alysialisyn cammarata.

scott taylor says this is a repudiation of the trump presidency and blames the president's divisive rhetoric for the gop's big losses. we will have scott taylor on next hour with us. the biggest win for dems is ralph northam beating former republican party chair ed gillespie. president trump blaming gillespie's loss, he tweeted that the candidate never embraced trump or what he stands for. >> but gillespie did exactly that and it cost him. the proof is in the performance. in new jersey, democrats won back the state house after chris christie's tumultuous eight-year run. all of this as president trump is in china. the third stop on his asia trip comes after the president issued a stark warning to north korea telling kim jong-un, do not try

us. we have it all covered. ryan nobles live in richmond, virginia. all eyes on virginia, a purple state. now plain blue. >> no doubt about that, chris. there is a lot of soul searching going on among republicans in virginia today. this state one example of a sweeping repudiation of donald trump and his administration with the election results last night. the race expected to be close. it was anything but. >> the democratic party is back, my friends! >> anti-trump wave fueling a big sweep, including the hotly contested governor's race in virginia. the state's governor crushing ed gillespie by nine points in a race expected to be close. >> virginia has told us to end the divisiveness that we will not condone hatred and bigotry

and to end the politics that have torn this country apart. >> president trump blaming gillespie for the loss, accusing him of not embracing him and what he stands for. exit polls show president trump is deeply unpopular. with twice as many voters who say trump was a factor in their decision, saying they came up to oppose the president instead of support him. >> you have sent a message across the globe to south korea. donald trump, you don't stand for our values! >> gillespie did not campaign with the president but president trump threw his support on twitter and robocalls.

democrats also making significant gains in virginia's house of delegates, possibly forcing a number of recounts that could shift control of the chamber to democrats for the first time in almost 20 years. >> with donald trump and the white house and steve bannon holding republicans in congress hostage, governors will have never mattered more. >> in new jersey, phil murphy easily defeating the state's republican governor who struggled to overcome the unpopularity of her boss, chris christie. races in manchester, new hampshire and charlotte, north carolina, also breaking in the democrats's favor. blue wave extending to a number of social and culture. and the first openly open transgender person seated in a state legislature, defeating a social conservative who sponsored a bill that would have restricted which bathroom she can use.

>> every person who has ever been singled out, this one's for you. >> first time politician chris hurst, the boyfriend of reporter shot and killed on live tv in 2015, also elected in virginia, upsetting three-time renin couple bent backed by the nra. while the republicans have not won a statewide election since 2009, there is some thought that last night's results shouldn't be taken seriously because they are democratic races that democrats should win. hotly contested senate race in alabama where a trump-backed candidate polls show is locked in a tight race. that could perhaps provide a greater glimpse into donald trump's impact on races across the country. chris and alisyn. >> thank you for breaking that down with us. let's discuss it with gregory and politics reporter and editor

at large, chris silizza. >> is you have an unpopular president, a divided party and democrats voting scared. every major democrat in the country said you better get out and vote, really suggesting if democrats did not show up with the energy and the engagement of the resistance to trump that it could really hurt the party in 2018 and beyond. and so all of those factors came together. we should also remember that virginia is trending to be a blue state. usually the party power loses the race as the next big test once they get power. but i think projecting forward, trump is the big thing that happened that the midterms will reflect. and if you see more engagement on the part of democrats and more division among republicans between a rump top lift republican and more mainstream

republicans as we saw in virginia, it's going to be very difficult for the republican party. >> all right. so is let's talk about that a little bit. let's figure out what the point is, captain silizza. the story is simple. we won! gregory is spot on. what does this mean for republicans? it seems like they have a hard choice. what does it mean? >> the arc of ed gillespie's the challenge. he is running in the primary as a sort of mainstream practicigm conservative. gillespie almost loses the race.

no one saw it coming. he narrowly wins the primary. general election. he is moving more and more. ms-13, sanctuary cities, talking about keeping up the confederate monuments. trumpism -- trump isn't in the state but trumpism, he losses badly no torbgtam, particularly in the suburbs. it shows that trump is very popular. a boat load motivator, turnout motivato motivator. my guess is you will see some level of quiet and not so quiet panic out of republicans over the next few days and weeks because that's a very hard needle to thread.

>> what i thought was interesting, tom perez was saying, trump you don't represent the values of the voters. well, does north am represent democratic values? is that the candidate they want to field or something more aggressive? i don't think democrats have decided that yet. >> in the last couple of weeks, lots of liberal democrats were jumping off the ralph north am band wagon because of his handling of sanctuary cities and other cultural issues. >> you're right. gillespie's twhauts got him to flip-flop. it was there. you saw a flat period in the day

by day polling. what is the message in that? >> it has been 12 hours since virginia polls close. >> that's how we do it. >> here's what i would say, i think, chris, the lesson is anti-trumpism runs overall. that is doubts about the democratic nominee are overwhelmed among liberals and democrats by their distaste for trump. remember that barack obama was the greatest union fire of the republican party. he did what no republican could do, unify over the eight years he was president. they scored a lot of gains there. i think what you saw in virginia last night is donald trump as the base moat ator and union fire. >> there is another lesson and that is ed gillespie took a lot of cues from the trump playbook. saying he was going to keep up the confederate statues.

is it that trump brand of politics is not transferrable. he is a singular candidate and that you actually can't just take a page from his book and play it effectively. >> look, that's a good question. we need a little bit more time, i think, to judge that. but what i think is clear is that in a race like this, in a governor's race or off-year races we will have next year, it is easier to make it as a referendum to react to a big event. a financial collapse, iraq war, 9/11 as we have seen in the past. you have that being the big issue on a midterm. by 2020, it becomes a choice between two people. by 2020, it becomes a choic

>> in virginia, as chris writes, chesterfield county, outside of richmond, you have old line republicans, business republicans, the same type you see in the main line outside philadelphia. foes with college educations doing well voting democrat. that becomes significant if you think of some of those house races we will see in 2018. >> that's why you see bannon so twisted up and the people on that side of the ball who wanted to play the harshness. the president said don't forget we are four for four. he was o-tper last night. they went four for four on home turf. some were close and shouldn't have been. roy moore in alabama shouldn't even be close. it's locked up in the polls. it is is not enough for him to

have 80% of the self-identified gop. he's not going to win that way. his challenge to be to grow the ten. that's why last night has to bother them. >> i get the spin he is getting. in the south carolina district, it is not exactly. that's like saying democrats won in connecticut. you don't necessarily get credit when you win the ones you're expected to win. virginia is a trending blue state, without question. but remember before barack obama won in 2008, lyndon johnson was the democratic candidate that carried virginia. the idea that this is massachusetts and should be written off is not accurate. >> gentlemen, thank you very much. all right. always important to ask the second question. what does it mean not just for the democrats but for republicans? in our next hour, republican

congressman scott taylor is from virginia. he will tell us what he thinks last night was about. and mechanics of his party are not going to like it. and we will talk with new jersey governor-elect phil murphy.

north korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned. it is a hell that no person deserves. >> reporter: so those harsh words, measured words as well directly about north korea were also intended to be heard by china and russia. that is a key topic of the agenda is here.

the united states wants china to do more to economically squeeze the regime in north korea. that is a subject of debate here. chris, there's also one other thing we're watching tonight. the white house said the president will decide by the end of the week if he will put north korea back on the on terrorism watch list. they were taken off during the bush administration. he is likely to address it before he leaves asia. >> thank you for the reporting approximate being on scene with the president. north korean officials say they believe the risk of war with the u.s. has never been higher. they are dismissing president trump's warning, referring to him as a mad dog. krrpb cnn is the only american network there. he joins us live from pyongyang once again. what was inside that headline of calling the president a mad dog? >> reporter: well, really, chris, what the north koreans

were doing is downplaying the significance of the speech in seoul. they called him a mad dog, a lunatic. you have seen posters all over the city with a variety of different insults for the u.s. even though north korea hasn't told its citizens yet about the speech in seoul, even on the newscast tonight they were covering anti-trump protests happening 120 miles from where i am in the north korean capital. the speech significant is that he pointedly criticized north korea's human rights record. obviously around the world it is known that north korea doesn't hold a candle to the united states when it comes to the issue of human rights. but if you ask citizens in

test test test. >> we'll check into this guy who may create a different narrative and one i don't like about the russian investigation. >> it shows that he is looking for any opportunity to try to deflect what we believe to be the real source of the hacking here, which was the russians. and because he doesn't like that narrative, he doesn't like the investigation, still considers it a witch-hunt. this is a nice way to deflect off that. i agree that we have to know a lot more about the context here surrounding this request. and, you know, and exactly what

it is that prolted it and what it is we learn from it before we jump into too many conclusions. it clearly does testimony straight unease. >> one of the reasons this is a little confusing to people, to put it gently, is that director pompeo says he has always been on board with the findings of the intelligence community in the ic report. if that's true, he wouldn't have an open question as to whether or not the e-mails came from the dnc because he would own conclusion that russian actors hacked the e-mails. so how do you put those two together? >> russia has been interfering with its neighbors and other countries elections and taking other efforts for what they call disinformation. >> right for decades. back into the 1950s. they're always doing it. it is a major part of their

dealing with the outside world. it would be odd if they weren't trying to do something like this. what is different is that now with computers and cyber and all of this, one does not need to put an agent into another country's territory to do something. one does it with a large number of kgb hackers that are there in moscow doing this and that. >> we do it that technology is changing. if i have a conclusion that kirby hacked my he mails and you called me and said you should talk to this other guy. he thinks it wasn't him. it was somebody else. why would i meet with that guy? that's what pompeo says. he accepts the intelligence community. why does he need to meet with this guy? >> i have accepted a working hypothesis position that i have looked at, i don't think i have that exactly right.

there's nothing wrong, as far as i'm concerned, with mike pompeo looking into this in the counterintelligence world. he might find his first judgments is exactly right. maybe it's only 75%. i don't know. but the president can certainly ask a senior person to look into a counterintelligence issue. >> his acceptance has been tepid. >> when he said, by the way, none of it had any effect on the election, which is not what they concluded. they said they're not going to touch that. they then pulled it back. >> there is a difference between determining the outcome of the election and having any effect. >> absolutely. >> if they went as a result of what the russians did, it went from 70/30 to 60/40. that's a big effect. it may not have changed the conclusion and the outcome. >> understood. understood. >> let me ask you while you have two great minds at my disposal

here. let's shift topics to north korea. a huge test for the president. his own personal politics and how he comes across. let's play one of the pieces of of sound that's getting the most attention from his big address last night in front of the south korean assembly. >> i state to the north, do not underestimate us. and do not try us. we will defend our common security, our shared prosperity, and our sacred liberty. the weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger. >> john kirby, you oversaw these kinds of messages. >> i think the speech was adequate. this was no churchillian moment. he solidified what has been his general approach to north korea.

i have given them high marks for the way they tried this. it was urgent. i think it was adequate to the task. right message to china and russia. he kept the door open for diplomacy. while i won't disagree on the face of it. if you put conditions on the open door, they have to stop all their aggression and dismantle their program. it will not be acceptable to pyongyang. >> mr. woolsey, do you believe there is any likelihood of change happening? >> i think the chance is very slim. it has lied under three kim has lied and lied and lied. every time they promise something, we'll do this if you just give relief from the sanctions. if you give us this, if you give us that. they double cross us. you really i think have to be

pretty credulous to think that the north koreans are going to keep their word. i think it's important, though, we have a situation with the vulnerability of our electric grid to nuclear detonation above the united states saying we have to deal with. north korea talks about this. and the press and the united states doesn't report it. several times. four or five times they have threatened the use of electric toe magnetic pulse. we need to pay attention to that and not brush it inside. >> go google emp and see what the eventual tpherpvulnerabilii. value added as always. thank you, sir. alisyn? now to the russia investigation. carter page told house intel that he gave the trump campaign

democrats coming away with victories in two governors races in virginia and new jersey. what does this mean for the 2018

midterms? jackie spear is a member of the house intelligence committee. good morning, congresswoman. >> good morning. >> what lessons are there for democrats after last night heading into the midterms? >> well, it's a "new day" for democrats. i think that the electorate woke up. we woke up to a nightmare recognizing that it is time to deliver. the women's march, the biggest march in the history of this country, all around the country, realli really enlivened democrats to reach out and to be counted. that's exactly what happened last night. >> it's not all good news for democrats. let me pull up the latest cnn polling. and it shows real enthusiasm sort of slipping, at least the favorability number. let me just show you what's happening from march in terms of democrats. 44% in march. slipped in september to 41%.

now it is at 37%. so what did that mean? >> well, it means that we have to make very clear what our message is. and i don't think we have done an excellent job of doing that. they want to know what we are going to produce. we know what the republicans are producing in terms of a tax cut. it is a huge scam and a huge tax cut for the wealthy and for corporations. what are we promotinpromoting? what are we produce something we will have to be much more alert to showing what the differences are. >> let's talk about the latest in the russia investigation. i know that carter page, former foreign policy adviser to the trump campaign came in front of your house intel community and revealed some new e-mails that senior trump campaign officials about a trip that carter page was going on to russia in july 2016. he basically bounced it off of

cory lieu want dow sky and asked is it okay if i go. let me know if you want it tweaked. cory has been all over the map. at one point lieu dow sky said i don't know who carter page is. so now are you with all of that? do you want him to come in and appear before your committee? >> there is a whole slew of people we want to invite to come in to speak to us. i will say about carter page, he did not provide us with a scintilla of documentation we asked for. then he would sleep up in his testimony. it was only because we had documentation from others and then provided it to him that all of a sudden his amnesia was rectified.

so he is i think a witness that was not as forth coming as we would have liked. we're going to see what he produces in terms of documentation. i also think he was someone who was looking for giggs in russia. and anything to somehow embellish his curriculum vitae is what he was in business to do. using the trump campaign was part of it. i think the russians identified him as someone that they may be able to use, whether it was wittingly or unwittingly. and therefore he was provided new economic school to give a speech and then spoke with the foreign minister and others when he returned in december. >> okay. last topic, sexual harassment. as you know, there is this movement, this nationwide

worldwide movement with the hashtag me too so many people coming forward and speaking about their experiences. you came forward and talked about an experience you had where the powerful congressional staffer when you were a junior staffer and how he forced himself on you. tomorrow night i'm doing a cnn townhall on this topic, sexual harassment. it seems like the flood gates have opened. current day, you feel it is still rampant in the halls of congress. can you tell us what that means? >> we still have a serious problem in congress in part because we have never addressed it. there is no mandatory requirement for sexual harassment training for staff. it looks like congress is going to address that. meanwhile, all the federal employees are required to do so. more importantly, we have a

problem with a system that is really there to protect the accused and to diminish the victim. and to the victims i've talked to who have had current cases before the office of compliance, it's a nightmare what they have gone through. three-quarters of those sexually harassed don't even report it. we have to change the system so those nondisclosure agreements are not required, that they have the opportunity to be represented by counsel and that their claims are given serious attention. >> sure. we really appreciate you coming on to talk about all of this and shed light on all the things that need to change there and elsewhere. congresswoman, thank you very much for being on "new day". be sure to watch the townhall tipping point, something harassment in america, 9:00 p.m. tomorrow night. up next, winter is coming.

it's a little bit early. we're going to see record low temperatures. where are they, why are they, next. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? full-bodied. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations

that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it.

fothere's a seriousy boomers virus out there that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and it's not tested for in routine blood work. the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us it's time to get tested.

ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. it's the only way to know for sure.

a blast of arctic air expect to go hit the midwest and northeast. an early taste of winter. what are you seeing, allison? >> we are starting to see some cities drop back. charlotte, north carolina is going to be 15 degrees cooler today than they were yesterday. atlanta, about 10 degrees cooler. that's not it. it will get any cooler. this forecast brought to you by humana. start with healthy. the cold air will push down from canada. it begins in the midwest, moves into the great lakes and moves into the northeast. in some cities we will drop 15,

20 degrees below average. take, for example, chicago. 52 is the normal. high only only 33 on friday. new york will be 20 degrees below that friday afternoon. chris, it's not just that. it is the record low temperatures as well. we could be looking at two dozen of them saturday morning for a lot of these cities. >> not good for fall fishing. thank you very much. appreciate the information. up next, his girlfriend was killed on live television. what a journey the new lawmaker has had. former news anchor now heading to the house of delegates. what motivated chris hurst to take this step? big interview, next.

a former tv anchor decided to do a lot more with his life, and he's back in the spotlight this morning and heading to his state's capitol. his name is chris hurst. a gunman killed his girlfriend

on live television two years ago. in an electoral upset, he beatest in the race for the 12th district in the house of delegates. it's good to see your face again, my friend. >> good to see you, chris. glad to be with you. >> congratulations on your win. why do you think you won? >> i think we won because we had an approach in this campaign, just like i had an approach in journalism. when i was evening anchor, we had 26 counties that we covered. my district covers giles county, montgomery county, and the city of radford in southwest virginia. we were everywhere. we left no part of the district untouched.

we employed a strategy where we went where normally people in my party don't go, and that allows us to be able to bring our message of economic opportunity, bringing good-paying jobs and raising the minimum wage and having people live with a living wage and expanding medicaid and investigating in our schools to everybody. people connected with that message across the district. >> unusual and painful journey took you to this place. when i met you you were dealing with the worst thing you ever imagined would happen to you. what did that moment do to you in terms of changing you and putting you on this path? >> i remember very vividly, i met you outside our television station the day after alison was killed. i told people since and i will tell you and your viewers now, her death connected me to humanity more than anything

else. i, through tragedy, had a shared experience and common bond with so many who have gone through tragedy and loss, and as we have seen in recent events have gone through the tragedy and horror from gun violence, but it connected to my community and galvanized me to my community, and only through fire can that steel be forged stronger, and it made me want to stay in appear latchy, but i couldn't stay at the station anymore. i had to be able to give back to the community and to the people that gave me so much when i needed it and this seemed like the right thing to do. >> you were through quite a lot there, no question about that, and you wind up head to head with an a-minus rating from the nra. what did it mean for you to take

on from that point of view as a politician? >> we have not been focused on gun violence, and i am a gun owner, and we used to enjoy shooting and going to the range at thanksgiving and at christmas. this race has been more about education, and more about expanding medicaid and with the democratic wave at the top of the ticket down to the assembly level, we can finally do that in virginia. this presents a fantastic opportunity to help people impacted, and we want to make sure people have access to affordable health care here in the commonwalth, and 4,000 people in my district alone, 400,000 virginiaens would be able to benefit from expanding medicaid here in virginia, and

after three years we will be able to accomplish that goal. >> no question health care is of a specific concern in your state. the reason i brought up gun violence is not because of what you lived through, and it's being framed as a public health issue now, and not only is it domestic violence and a threat to women's lives, but two-thirds of the gun violence is suicide. states are taking the lead in the absence of any kind -- you know, the vacuum of power and action. on the federal level you see states doing it. what do you think needs to be done when you look at your own state's laws in the wake of these mass shootings and what we learned to endure but not change? >> i was proud back in 2016 that our governor was able to get the republicans and the general assembly to support a possession prohibition for abusers who have had a permanent protective order

issued against them. maybe let's look at temporary protective orders as well. this is a time when women are susceptible to domestic and gun violence, and maybe we should expand that from permanent protective orders to testimompo protective orders. maybe that's something that verge decides to take a hard look at. i think it's a new day in virginia where we have not only a democratic governor and attorney general now for the next four years again, but we have the possibility of being able to have a majority in the house of delegates. every single idea that could

possibly address and reduce the number of people dying from gun homicide, suicide and accidental fire deaths i think is finally on the table. for so many people impacted by gun violence across the commonwealth and even here in my district, they are, i think, just humbled, grateful, and looking for the opportunity of passing legislation that will tan jawbly reduce deaths here virginia from firearms. >> your win is significant on two levels. your party needs help at the seats level, and you also showed people you could turn personal pain into purpose. i'm sorry for what it took you to get to this point, but it's so good, and it makes so many who got to meet you that way, feels good that you did something with your life to turn your pain into purpose. congratulations. i look forward to having you on the show in the future. >> thank you, chris.
