the president tweeting quote, senator claire mccaskill of the great state of missouri flew around in my full endorsement. those reports come in the "washington free beacon" which mccaskill says is riddled with inaccuracies. todd? todd: fox news alert. secretary of state mike pompeo arriving in china overnight briefing officials on the singapore summit. brian: wow, this trip comes on the heels of meetings with the japanese and south korean counterpart. ainsley: rich edson live in beijing with the latest. rich? reporter: hello. real aggressive trip here for the secretary of state mike pompeo. he is soon going to meet with chinese president xi xinping in a short time here at the chinese foreign ministry. he has been meeting with other top officials from the chinese government here including their foreign minister of the secretary says that china has committed to maintaining sanctions against north korea until kim jong-un fully surrenders his nuclear program. >> china has reaffirmed its commitment to honoring the u.n. security council resolutions but we have made very clear that the sanc

i would say going back to senator mccaskill's question, i find wherever claire mccaskill asks me to do something, i say i'll do it. it saves us all time and trouble. what she's asking is probably the right thing. i have another question. i'm a recovering governor. when i was privileged to be governor of delaware for eight years, we established a family services cabinet council. it included basically half of my cabinet secretaries. we met every month. we developed a strategy that we pursued for eight years to strengthen families, a basic building block of our society. rather than just address the symptoms and problems, why don't we go at root causes. several people mentioned today root causes. as we confront the opioid epidemic, i want to urge you to focus not just on treatment but also for us to focus on the root causes for this crisis. i know there's several. our child and family experts tell us individuals with mental health conditions are at a greater risk for abusing drugs. what are hhs and cms doing to ensure at-risk children and families have adequate access to early treatment an

the highway bill, we got into title 41 of the fast act, legislation i introduced with senator claire mccaskill. it's called the federal permit auge part of these projects. in fact, i got involved in this issue initially because a group came to they were working on a hydro plant on the ohio river. it had taken six years to try to get the permits. they were losing capital. they said, is there any way on these big energy projects like this you can help us get a decision, get the federal agencies to coordinate and have someone be held accountable. in the end, we got the building tradesouncil as well as some environmental groups as well as the business community on board. again, i think is fair to say this has become something that a lot of us are acutely interested in. one thing it does, and this is -- shouldn't be revolutionary, but it is, was it set project deadlines and made it a requirement that we publicly allow the parties and the public to see a dashboard to be able to see what the deadlines were. you guys are the lead agency. a number are listed. you can see them on permitsperformance.gov,

for a lot of democrats especially those in the state that is the president won and people like claire mccaskilln difficult position as they come to reelection because of this vote. stuart: by the way, in west virginia, 67 for trump and 26 for hillary clinton, i just estimated the vastness of the trump win in west virginia. hard to see how manchin would vote against it. i want to move onto immigration. at the top of the hour i was editorializing where i feel republicans had a lead and that included immigration because i want to know what the democrats, what we are going to do in america when the next tens of thousands of people arrive at the border. i think the democrats will say, let them in on humanitarian grounds and i don't think that works well with the electorate, what say you? >> i completely agree. even border officials say the wall best way to keep next wave of illegal immigrants out of the country along with drugs plaguing the country. we can have strong legal immigration system. the president wants to strengthen it, change it, make it merit-base and democrats are about open borders, a

the highway bill we got into title 41 of the fast act legislation i introduced with senator claire mccaskill, and it's called the federal permitting improvement act. and it creates this steering council. and we're all talking about permitting now, both sides of the aisle, how to have that infrastructure dollar go further. energy's a huge part of these projects. i got involved initially because a group came to me in ohio, and they were working on a hydro plant on the ohio river, and i think at that point it had taken six years to get the permits, and the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing. capital is not that patient, and they were losing capital, and they came to me and said is there any away you can help us. in the end, we got the building trades council as well as some environmental groups and business community onboard. and i think it's fair to say this has become something a lot of us are acutely interested in. one thing it does, and this shouldn't be revolutionary but it is, was it set project deadlines and made it a requirement that we actually publicly allow the parti

when claire mccaskill ran for percentage she said george w.because they were poor and black. outrageous. they been saying things like this constantly. hillary clinton in the senate was complaining about the republican house. she said this place is run like a plantation and you know what i'm talking about the they do it all the time. air colder once referred to the movement for voter id and called it pernicious racism. how can that be pernicious racism. people are just paying attention to some of the incendiary language and it's certainly true because of trumpets a different level, but i'm saying they've been saying this stuff for years. maxine waters once called george hw bush a good races. for crying out loud. in the last election, over 90% voted democrat and the election before that and before that. in the next election, 2020, what proportion of black folks will republican. >> think about 15% of black might vote republican this time. after kanye west came out and made a statement and candace owens came out and supported donald trump, a lot o

mccaskill is okay. >> absolutely i do. claire i'm glad you're okay and senator manchin, great job. >> i want to talk about immigration and what exactly the house is going to do. it seems as though and i want to know what your assessment is of where things stand. but the compromised negotiations seem to have fallen apart late last week. now, there does seem to be some discussion of doing a separate stand alone bill to address family separation. is that the case and would you support that? >> absolutely. i hope to co-sponsor it. but i hope we can actually get some movement on immigration reform. we've had a lot of people -- our leadership team has sat down with all facets of our republican conference because we're not getting assistance from the democratic side to address the issues all of us have said are bipartisan issue. let's secure our border. there are areas of our border that has to have a physical structure. not just with illegal immigration, but drugs that are coming in the country and ravaging the midwest and areas that i
