that and much more right now on andrea mitchell reports. >> good day, everyone. this is andrea mitchell reports. it is a shocking wake up call for the white house and for democrats about the prospects for holding on to their slim congressional majorities just a year from now. first in virginia, a republican political newcomer over democratic terry mccauliffe. and the party is still sweating out that dead heat where phil

murphy is holding a hearing with 85 exact of the vote in. we will bring you a update on another big day for the supreme court with the justice hearing oral arguments on a gun rights case. i will also be joined by dr. francis collins as the first five to 11 year olds get their first vaccine shots. steve kornacki, i don't know if you have been to bed. >> no. >> probably not. okay. so let's start with the race that we're still frar a call on. what's their ruling on mail in ballots. >> the situation right now, phil murphy, has a limb lead right here. that is other his republican challenger. when you look at what appears to be the remaining vote in this

race in new jersey you see a number of places that look heavily democratic. you don't see any really, so what are we waiting on right now? what do we know we're waiting on? a big one is right here. this is a blue county. this is a pretty big sized county as well. i think we're waiting specifically on some vote by mail ballots here, probably 25,000 to 30,000 of them. it is extremely democratic. you're talking about murphy getting like 80% of it. a batch of 25,000 or 30,000 votes going that heavily to murphy you could see flaw that he could pad his lead if is a solidly blue county and you expect that to also favor murphy. also essex county, they still

have reports. so the bottom line in new jersey is that it is a very narrow lead for murphy right now and you see a number of path ways for him to expand that lead and at least right now you don't see many path ways for chiterelli to count near. >> the president won by 16 points and only a year later a very popular governor -- can we figure out what happened here? >> i'm giving you the in the weeds remaining vote here. the bigger picture story in this, is check out new jersey last year. biden 57, trump 41. it is rare for a republican to even be competitive in a statewide election in new jersey. but you know, this is so unexpectedly strong, what he has done here, even if he does not

win this race against murphy, he has done so much better than expected. it looks right now like the state senate president, an extremely powerful democratic, he may lose his reelection on the coat tails, or against the coattails of this strong performance. >> and then virginia. we see the black turnout is not what the democrats needed. young people did not come out in the numbers they needed, the coalition was not there, louden county, key voting blocks. >> yeah, you mentioned virginia beach. it has a republican history, virginia beach, does, but joe biden won it for the democrats last year. 5.5 points, youngkin brings it back into the win column. also a big one for him last night, right next door, the city

of chesapeake. so that was a big part of the story that youngkin could bring those back into the fold. the suburbs outside of washington dc here, it's not that he won them, he didn't, here he is losting by ten points, but look at that difficult. biden by 15 last year. youngkin can bring it down to temperature. you look at a bunch of the rural counties. he met the number and then he accident seeded it. it all adds up to what you see here, a republican victory for the first time in more than a decade. >> and one quick point, the most powerful person is that of the house delegates, the speaker, and that could also switch. >> that, and then there is also, by the way, down ballot. look at this, the republicans

pick up lieutenant governor spot in virginia. the attorney general running 38,000 votes behind in that race. but two of these three statewide races right now called for the republicans. and there is a state legislature possibility as well. so maybe more than just youngkin celebrating here. >> steve kornacki, i know i can't convince you to get rest, but try to take it easy. we have kristin welker who was also up all night. jonathan capehart, doug hyde, and david plough, manager of president obama's 2008 presidential campaign. how is the white house spinning this? >> what is fascinating is that

the white house and democrats on capitol hill and the terry mccauliffe campaign entered a circular firing quad before they were cast and counted last night. the finger pointing had gun and that has intensified in the wake of the dismal results for democrats. you have the white house saying effectively that to win races the lesson is not to make the race all about former president donald trump. the reality of that is that of course it comes against the backdrop of this entransagainst that we have seen on capitol hill and in washington. this internal fighting, now i spoke to one top democratic who said look, this is not a referendum on our agenda, but it crystallizes the need to get

action on our agenda. and terry had been calling on democrats for days to get something done. the question is will it happen, andrea? >> what do you see from the democratic base of the state that's are big concerns for democrats going forward? >> i think turnout was very high. i think republicans benefitted more than democrats, but there was erosion, and i think it is important to understand this was a national political mark. republicans had big nights last night. so it is a bad political environment. so there is no doubt that the story telling on that, how they

swing voters, but the approval rating is at 43. the republicans are going to win the house and senate. how do you imprue the covid environment? you put the republicans more on trial. murphy was the undumb bant. i think if you're an incumbent it is incumbent on you to get out your message of what you have done and why you should be hired. it is based on exit polls, but right women in virginia that did note graduate from college moved 39d points in one year. we have seen gains with hispanic voters and african-american voters that are noncollege voters. so that is a huge, huge warning

seen. actually the exit polls, had it change. >> part of that, it could be the education issue that was so disz torted, but very cleverly. what do you think about looking ahead after seeing how they handled the trurp factor in virginia? >> i would say in new jersey and in virginia, you don't have to be trump's minny me. you can talk about different issues. in new jersey, property taxes such a big issue in that race. in virginia education which started with the school closures is a big deal. and i go back to the rnc when i

was there. our magic number for obama was 46%. we felt that that if obama was below 46%, and he was ultimately at 45%, then we could take back the house. some of my republican friends, your job right now is not to measure curtains, it's to build a house. it's a great advantage that you have right now but a whole lot can happen in one year and you need to be mindful of that. >> let's talk about a couple things including fest the education issue. some people said last night that it was not a dog whistle, it was a blow horn, let's talk about race. >> right, i mean, i think they said on the air yesterday that

when we're talking about critical race theory, we're focusing on three words, not just race. in youngkin's win, the reason he went the way he went, it is just a basket of all of the things that make white voters uncomfortable when it comes to talking about our nation's history. in ways that they're not used to. in ways that make them feel uncomfortable. and he very successfully used that. but also to hold on to and to even expand those squishy republicans, maybe those that voted for biden in 2020, and

then were just appealed to found the message appealing. when it comes to i think that races more about the state of the democratic party. the fact that a man that i didn't even know about until i interviewed governor murray on my show on monday, who knew who he was? who hi is? and he is in a hair's breath of possibly becoming the next governor of new jersey. that says more, i think, about folks not being quite happy with the way things are going in the democratic party as a whole. >> that is an under statement and it goes back to what david said. he was campaigning on the success of his previous tenure as heard.

it is about future threats to the nature. >> russia and china are all great powers just by introducing three versus two you're getting increased complexity. now if you're add in all of the other technologies coming very, very quickly, you're going to enter a world, in my view, that is potentially much more potentially unstable than the last 40, 50, 70 years. >> and technology is not just super, but the hyper sonic missile test they just reported. >> that's right, this is increasingly a growing problem

for the administration. he indicated that the united states doesn't want conflict, but clearly this is something that they're watching quite closely in addition to other world powers that they have deep concerns about from iran to north korea. >> you should get some sleep, also, i know you won't, but thank you so much for erg you been doing. thank you to our whole great panel. in minneapolis, a vote to reject replacing the police department with a new form of officers. another thunderstorm for mayor brown in buffalo, and in

the supreme court is hearing arguments on carrying weapons outside of the home. some say it making theme require a need. the states did outlaw guns in sensitive places? can't we just say times square on new years eve is a sensitive place? >> joining us now is pete williams. his daughter was among the victims murdered in the park

parkland shooters. his new book is called "find the helpers." pete, first the court did not issue a major second amendment, what is at stake here? >> what the second amendment means when it says keep and bare arms. this is the question that the court ducked for ten years, which is what did they say about guns outside of the home. and after two hours of oral argument, they will say that new york law, which is identity to the law in other states like california goes too far by showing a special need beyond a drefrl general desire.

the only way to get a permit is conceaed carry. they say that is a strange way to show someone has a constitutional right. maybe the sixth amount right to confront your accuser in court. there is also a great disagreement between new york and the challengers about history and tra decision. there is a number throughout history. new york went too far, but as you show from that excerpt, the court is concerned about upholding a restriction on

public and crowded places. >> that could be illustrated by the question that justice steven pryer, the senior member raised, about carrying concealed weapons. >> you think that people should have a considerable freedom to carry concealed weapon. i think people with character that have good moral character and start drinking, if they eep have a concealed weapon, who knows? >> that is a very grandfatheric example from justice brieer. >> his concern is how do we come up with a new rule in this evolving space. it and the argument is correct

that we hear a number of voices that are not happy with new york statute. the question is what will they do about it and it is going forward, but also for states that restrict historic land, and the general's office, is brian fletcher suggesting that you begin with the text and then you look to history and tradition. whether or not they have intermediate scrutiny and how it will be used in the lower courts. >> someone that suffers, the

families, active with the brady group now, how do you react to all of this? >> deep concern. i listened to questioning this morning when they were trying to pierce there where are we and where aren't we safe? my daughter died in school. are they suggesting that students in school should be carrying guns? i'm actually flabbergasted. nowhere in the questioning from the court did i see the balance against the public safety. if they knock down the new york law it will basically be anyone can carry a gun anywhere, any time, any place. that doesn't make us safer. and so where is the balance against saving lives. >> you know that is the issue, pete, from the per spective of people that suffered and lived through this.

i know the court is dealing with the fine tuning of laws and banning constitutional privileges. >> i heard that, barbara underwood, they said that some people are terrified that there could be more people with guns on the subways. they say if you work nights and you have to walk home at night why can't you have a gun? i think that shows how the justices break down on this. if it does strike down the new york law will say something about restricting guns in public places, schools, courthouses and places where there are already

restriblgts on where the general public can't go. >> we're unfortunately going to have to leave it there on a becausy day. thank you for your experiences. >> thank you and fred's new book is find the helpers. and a dose of hope. kids five to 11 years old now getting the covid shot. talking about what vaccinating children could mean for the pandemic. children could mean for the pandemic

to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... to know how far we have to go.

parents across the country are getting their five to 11-year-olds vaccinated today. it is a potential game changer for families and schools. a poll finds that a third of parents nationally are still in a wait and see moment when it comes to letting their children get the shots, and 30% say their children will never ever get the vaccine. joining me now is dr. francis collins. someone that i have been wanting to talk to for so long and certainly before you leaf because i know you're stepping down at the end of the year. thank you, welcome. it is a big day. five to 11 year olds getting the shot.

>> yeah, i think it is a really big deal, and it is nice to join you. we know at the present time an often lot of the infections that are till happening with this very contagious delta variant are kids in this age group that have not had a way to be protected other than mask wearing and social distancing. but having a vaccine available should make it more seizable for kids to stay in school, be able to stay in sports. so we're really delighted. you may have seen the advisory committee, and a day long commitment unanimously supporting the vaccine it is shown to be very minimal like a sore arm, and an efficacy of

about 91%. and generating a very nice level of antibodies. it looks like a really good thing. >> it will be distributed, the supply lines are all going to work? >> there is a lot of planning going into that, anticipating that they would give approval, but not going to wait until that to start doing the distribution, so yes doses are being shipped out and certainly a few will be administered this week, but if grow to vaccines.gov you can find out the 20,000 place that's will administer the vaccine that's are closest to you. a big effort here to get that in pediatricians officers or general practice practitioner's.

you want to make sure it is not hard for parents to get their kids immunized. >> what about the one third of american parents that say they're not sure been they're worried about this side effect that could be very, very serious not showing up in the test groups, right? >> it did not. i understand that. parents are all of the time trying to size up decisions for their kids. i hope that parents will have a chance to look at data and see that in fact of the 3,000 that received the dose, there was no serious side effects. there is an issue about a rare

instance mostly in males. and it is reversible. there is very strong indication consider the balance, of course, we don't know if they will get miyocarditis. and 145 have died. so this is serious illness potential. plus there is a condition called misc.

multisystem disease in children into if you're trying to figure out how to size it up, look at the risks of covid, which is central versus the risk of the vaccine. and the fact that this is a highly effective way to protect your kids from the bad consequences that covid can cause. i'm a grandparent, my grandchildren are a little older than this, but if i had dmids this age group i would sure be talking to their parents about hey, this is looking like a really good thing to do. i understand that neshl think is probably greater resistance of people getting into the realm of getting used to this. when the adult vaccines rolled up 34% said they wanted it and we're up to 80% now. >> do you think that we're going to be in a place whether where

children younger than five, maybe six months from now, maybe a year from now, i think we will find out how that works. those trials are also under way. there is a trial for kids aged two to five and one for kids six months to two years. again with smaller doses, because these are smaller individuals. and again very closely looking at other side effects. those data are available and they will go to the fda. they will have a public discussion, and if anybody wants to see what i is happening, we're being so transparent about anything. anyone that really wants to look at the evidence for or against it you can do so. it is right there for you to see just like all of the experts can see. >> these are your final weeks after the nih, besides from playing the guitar, more,

perhaps, what work or verge in -- research is in your future. >> i'm going to put in more time in the lab. they have seen a little less of me during the last 12 years, and especially during covid, and i'm going to immerse myself in. i don't know what i want to be when i grow up, i have another calling, i have to figure out what it is. >> your noble prize and all of the things you have achieved. again, thank you enough for everything you do and still do. we wait for the next chapter. >> thanks, andrea. i'm glad to talk to you any time now or later, you do a great job of getting the facts in front of people, i'm glad to help with that. >> thank you sop, sir. it's an honor. trusting the results, voters

most plans include dental, vision and hearing too. my agent told me i could save money on prescription drugs. oh! and these humana plans offer telehealth coverage. so i can connect with a doctor from my couch. and humana has a large network of doctors and hospitals. my doctor was already in their network. oh! a humana medicare advantage plan can give me all that coverage for as low as a $0 monthly plan premium. i'm so glad i called humana. humana really makes medicare worth talking about. call and talk to a licensed humana sales agent about how you could benefit from a humana medicare advantage plan. call today. humana, a more human way to healthcare. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go.

don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems,...and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. with once-a-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about once-monthly cabenuva. bye mom. my helpers abound, i'll need you today. our sleigh is now ready, let's get on our way. a mountain of toys to fulfill many wishes. must be carried across all roads and all bridges. and when everyone is smiling and having their fun i can turn my sleigh north because my job here is done.

it's not magic that makes more holiday deliveries to homes in the us than anyone else, it's the hardworking people of the united states postal service. >> so, look, i just want to find 11,780 votes, one more than we have. because we won the state. >> that is just one part of a call that took place four days before january 6th. now president trump is under investigation over the nature of that call and his attempts to overturn the georgia election results. on our next call, our next guest, brad rathensberger.

he is author of the new book "integrity counts." i want to get your reaction to glenn youngkin's big republican win. what blueprint did he lay out for republicans across the nation that want to figure out how to handle donald trump's role. he took the endorsement, but he held president trump at arm's length. he didn't invite him to come to the state. >> in my book integrity count social security what the future looks like for republicans. and obviously parental involvement in the education of your children. that all came together and governor youngkin did a tremendous job and we're excited.

>> i would question whether or not that is really education we're talking about or race that we're talking about, but let's get back to president trump do you think he should face criminal charges for what he said to you on that call? >> i'm not a lawyer, i'm an engineer, and that's why i wrote the book. he came up shorp, and my republican friends get three data points to help them understand this. 28,000 georgians skipped. they just didn't come out. in the republican districts, they got more votes. what are we going to do about that for the next race? how do we have a unifying message? >> you said your initial

reaction was not to go public about the call. why was your initial reaction to keep it secret when the president of the united states was pressuring you basically to commit election fraud. well, first, i thought it would be about ten minutes long, it was an hour and ten minutes, and the next day he misrepresented everything that we talked about. there was probably several copies of what said, but that got out there in public space and i'm glad it did because it sets the table. people can listen to it and know exactly what was and wasn't said and come to their own conclusions. >> i'm just wondering how you feel about the fact that so many republicans still do not believe that joe biden is the legitimate president, that former president trump has not conceded yet, doesn't that undermine the integrity of elections and

public coronavirus in elections around the country? >> that is why i wrote my book so everyone can go back and look at it point by point in is not our first rodeo. when i took office in january of 2019 stacey ababrahms did not concede. i put out the book with all of the facts and figures. and people want the honesty to have the conversation. these are the facts. but i'm a conseconservative. my job is to show fair and honest elections and that is what i did. i followed the rule of law under the constitute. >> and you're being criticized for supporting the new georgia

law that wasn't needed because there was no fraud. the georgia election was exactly as you reported it. >> this revised law my favorite item is really going away from signature match. . so go to driver's license number, date, and they have been using ta in minnesota for ten years now. texas followed our lead and now they will be using it also, and that is very good. we increased the number of days for early voting and we have 17 mandatory days of early voting. that is more early voting than we have in new york, new jersey, and delaware. >> there is still a lot of koers about that law. we'll have to leave it there. thank you for being with us

emissions and slow it down. anne thompson is in glasgow. anne, what does this mean going forward, given the losses in the election and will he be able to deliver what's promised? >> reporter: well, andrea, that's a very good question. certainly, the methane agreement is the big one here because, i think, by cutting methane emissions not only in the u.s. but around the world, it actually buys the world time to deal with climate change. methane is one of the most powerful heat-trapping gases there it. 30 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. so if you can reduce those emissions you get a little more time to try to soft problem. as for the issue as to what's happening back in congress or what's not happening, regarding the spending or infrastructure bill, i just got done speaking to bill gates who called on congress to pass both bills because he said innovation can

stave off the worst aspect of climate change. but innovators need signals from government. they need government incentive to say this is the way we're going, we're going to a clean energy future. incentives he sees in those two bills, andrea. >> and, you know, what about the deforestation issue? where does that take us, the zero and other major countries also participating? >> reporter: i think people are a little more jaundiced about that, andrea, because promises to stop deforestation has been made before and have not been met. that, along with this $100 billion climate funding that was promised way back in 2009 for developing countries, that still hasn't been fully funded. so the words all sound good. the question is, what are they really going to do? and that's the challenge here in glasgow. >> well, i've been following all
