but they went full force into the idea that they were gonna show the world that they can handle this better than anyone. it became a kind of test of systems for them. another piece of it anderson as you're implying, it's from the communist party having a lot of control over your citizens seem like a good idea. they had this traffic light system of red, yellow, and green. which told citizens when they can go where. and this perhaps comes more naturally to a system that is fundamentally about a lot of control. they don't have a strong public infrastructure system. one of the areas where china has not had miraculous growth. let's be clear, they've had miraculous growth economically and all that. but they don't have a great public health system. to give you a contrast, cuba, has a better public health system i think that china does. and china's much richer. >> multiple u.s. officials have voiced support for the protesters. do you think that will affect the chinese response and anyway? >> no. i think you need to be very
-- ? >> steve no help whatsoever. look, -- i'm in kentucky, horses are a lot more predictable politicians. i'm not optimistic as a good spreads hope springs eternal. mr. carville laid out a case for why warnock's had a slight lead in this thing. he walker had fewer votes on election day, the challenge over this four-week period has been to keep those supporters energized. and to find a few more republicans who didn't vote for you for some reason, bring them in. the best thing they did anderson, in the forward period was give brian camped -- most popular politician in the state. you know you notice neither biden or trump we are -- biggest names in the parties. but neither of them are very popular down there. so getting campaign gage was good. it strikes me based on the early vote, what i've heard is the republicans are gonna have to have a huge turnout on election day. maybe it's good if the republicans are the democrats rather, think they've gotten in
yes, the madness, and said they have recovered. how many days did you spend in there, i ask. seven days, he said. unprecedented protests recently erupted across china. they are chanting they don't want to covid tests. they want freedom. >> authorities swiftly crackdown on the protesters. they are finally softening their stance on zero-covid. some cities are lifting lockdowns, changing covid testing requirements. under some conditions, people can now quarantine at home if they have covid, which is a huge deal. this country has already built up a whole infrastructure around zero covid, spending all of its resources on quarantine facilities and covid testing. it's going to be a long and slow exit from zero-covid. >> selina wang joins us. if china's finally easing covid restrictions, doesn't mean the protest worked? is that a victory for demonstrators? >> yeah, anderson. it's fair to call us this tentative, partial victory.
sky looking down on that. was it like to be on the ground tonight right now? >> first of all that was exhilarating. and i would wake probably see the piece where we had the doors open. and as we came over one of the flow's, anderson, i looked over and head my head out as well. it's like opening a fully period of. and you feel that he just hit you. you can also smell, even at times takes the soul from the. air on the ground, we start to smell as well. start to spread around the island. rosenstein to hear about reports up the strands of volcanic glass. called pay later. going about 40 miles from the volcano. so it's already drifting pretty far. the concern, is, first gonna focus on the roadway. and it's sort of so the bottom. about 25 feet for our. that's about two miles away. it hasn't, race and the national guard, 20 members on standby. for now, they can focus on traffic control. because it is towards trap. because it gets more serious they might have to shut down
>> fareed, we have seen local chinese authority to rollback covid controls. do you think it's being directed at the national again or are these local authorities being a lad more latitude to make their decisions? >> no. this is a national decision. . -- the china's covid said that effectively they were moving into a different phase. -- the new strains are not as violent. but clearly, it's a -- they've realized that they simply cannot keep people locked up with these kind of punitive measures forever. the problem, anderson, is the population in china has very low immunity. this is the success of their zero-covid policy, very few people have got covid. but part of it is that they've been very slow and vaccines. and the chinese vaccines, sinovac, isn't very good. particularly, against omicron
and has tremendous amount of campuses on the youth vote in the closing days of this campaign [inaudible] and ignite in this big celebrity filled rally here in atlanta. an amazing violinist onstage right behind me. i think closing out and atlanta really speaks to how democrats are relying on these court groups. to come out in a big way on election day. in these regions, anderson. >> warnock is cautioning supporters about getting overconfident? >> yes, he has time and time again. clearly, democrats are enjoying momentum right now. he speaks about how he was happy with how many folks came out during the early vote period. we know a significant amount of black voters. which is a core group for democrats came out during that early vote period. but saying don't spike the football, don't get overconfident. he and knowledge to night at
county, kenesaw, one month ago before the election evening. there was an air of confidence confidence that evening. in talking to voters, anderson, that wasn't as possible here. they realized that they aren't as confident going into election day tomorrow but they were still urging huge turnout and, again, he's been outspent tremendously, republicans have not spent as much -- as they would've if control of the senate hinged on this. >> jeff zeleny, we appreciate. it -- james carville, acosta politics podcast, and senior political commentator, scott jennings. who served a special assistant to the president during the george w. bush administration. james, we saw a lot of candidates like herschel walker supported by the former president, handpicked in many cases by the former president, lose their election last night. what do you think can happen in georgia tomorrow? >> well, i don't know why herschel walker's been -- campaign i've ever seen in america. -- the derivative word of buffoon.
it's remarkable to see. that authoritarian china, protests have forced the communist party to essentially change its tune over covid. it's clearly made the government realize that zero covid's not possible or sustainable. it's even a threat to social stability. it's been more than a year omicron since omicron was first detected. only now, anderson, finally, are they deciding-month-old research and publish stories that omicron's last deadly. this is a huge shift in china. before this, they were demonizing covid, in some cases even censoring scientifically accepted information. but the loosening of restrictions here, they're happening in a patchwork across the country. some places are easing rules, others are still clinging on to zero covid. and you have some people in china celebrating the change. others are so frustrated and angry. all of this has been a wake up call. the government can take away your freedom at any point in over in your life. >> i appreciated. i want to get perspective from fried zakaria, who's from fareed zakaria gps.
>> another polls opening tomorrow morning in georgia for the final count of the 2022 midterm. as curtain closer goes, this has been a blockbuster with mark amy -- pastor martin with the king juniors church. republican challenger sports, errol -- massive ad spending. especially for the democratic side this time around. high public interest reflected early voting numbers that were record-breaking. the racist scene big name surrogates campaigning for the candidates. the former president who endorsed walker early on, come into georgia in the hours to campaign in person for him. -- even a canada line tie with warnock campaigns, -- with the walker campaign let's start with eva. how did senator workout warnock's in the final day on the campaign? >> anderson, senator warnock spent this crucial final hour i would say getting support from a core constituency being going to a black barbershop, going --
