thanks for spending time with us here on "the beat." i'll remind you you can always send me questions or comments at arimelber.com. we had that protest song, if you have thoughts about that case or other protest songs that speak to the issues, let me know online. the "the reidout" starts now. good evening, everyone. we begin "the reidout." >> a bombshell from the fbi director, 11 days to the election. the feds investigating newly discovered emails related to the hillary clinton private server case. found during a separate probe into sexting allegations against her top aide's husband. new information coming in. donald trump seizing on a stunning turn of events.

>> that unprecedented moment no doubt changed the course of history. the fbi director james comey threw a gallon of gasoline of hysteria over hillary clinton's emails, reopening an investigation that had already overshadowed the entire 2016 campaign and emboldening the rhetoric that the orange hued menace, donald trump, and the devotes had been spewing for a full year and a half. >> hillary clinton should be in jail for what she did to our national security. >> the email scam -- >> crooked hillary's emails -- >> this was not just extreme carelessness with classified material, which is still totally disqualifying. this is calculated, deliberate, premeditated, misconduct. if that were a republican that did what she did with the emails, they would have been in

jail 12 months ago. russia, if you're listening, i h you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. >> of course, literally to no one's surprise, our discount mussolini and his cronies did not actually care about the proper preservation of official records. multiple trump administration officials used personal email accounts at work. jared kushner was dumb enough to chat on whatsapp with the alleged saudi murder prince. we already new that our disgraced twice impeached president ripped things up into tiny little pieces and the documents had to literally be tamed back together. the "washington post" has new extensive reporting that trump's payment sledding by hand was far more widespread and indiscriminate than previously known. and despite multiple

admonishments throughout his presidency. it is unclear how many records were lost or destroyed through trump's ripping routine as well as what consequences if any he might face. hundreds of documents, if not more, were likely torn up, those familiar with the practice say. this is by the way, very, very illegal. those documents were not his to destroy. the presidential records act, quote, establishes public ownership of all presidential records which can be disposed of only after approved by an, a i'vist. additionally the post is reporting that the national archives had the records from mar-a-lago. it is not a government property despite trump pretending it was the winter white house. the trump advisers deny any nefarious event and say the papers with kim jong-un which trump once described as love letters, as well as a letter from president barack obama. the trump spokesman declined to

comment to the post on either story and the national archives has confirmed that they retrieved 15 boxes from mar-a-lago in january. this behavior is even more damning as we continue to learn about trump's actions on january 6th. there is new reporting from the a.p. and he was so enharassment urd by the unfolding insurrection that he was confused as to why staffers weren't as excited as he was. joining me now, strategist juanita tolliver, and tim miller, writer at large at the bull warring. and paul, i hate to keep going back over this again bust we keep doing the what if obama had or what if clinton had. it is a law. as of now, not only would i be shocked if trump faced any consequences for literally ripping up publicly owned documents that he wasn't supposed to, and sending the please to the national archives or spiriting them off to his house in florida. here's what james comey a year

ago had to say. this was before knowing all the stuff that we know now about trump. this is what comey, who knows trump's criminality firsthand, had to say about it now. >> do you think joe biden should pardon trump as ford did nixon? >> i don't know. he should consider it as part of healing the country and getting us to a place where we can focus on things that will matter over the next four years. i think joe biden will have to at least think about that. >> we reached out to mr. comey to see if he would update his comments, knowing what he knows now. he did not respond. but i'll ask you to respond, please, paul. >> the presidential records act is about transparency. it is designed to ensure accountability. transparency and accountability are against everything donald trump stands for. throughout his professional

life, trump acts like he hates records. probably because they serve as receipts for his bad acts. so in his business life, he insisted on nondisclosure agreements. and the white house, now we know. he illegally destroyed items that don't actually belong to him. they belong, these records belong to the american people. they're property of the government of the united states. and joy, some material has been recovered, but other material may have been placed improperly in burn bags without appropriate review. that stuff is lost forever. could it be evidence in a criminal case? it could be. but we'll never know. i think it is up likely that we're going to see a prosecution for this conduct because the presidential records act has no enforcement mechanism. if you break the law, there is no remedy. >> very quickly, for those who

are not so inclined, not an attorney or former prosecutor, what is a burn bag? >> so a burn bag is where you place confidential sensitive information that you want destroyed. it is the government equivalent of a shredder. there is a process to decide what evidence gets destroyed. it is not the president's decision. the white house records office has an important role which apparently trump just ignored or discounted. >> even nixon didn't have burn bags that we know of. it is so blat am that it is comical. but it is also deadly serious. with the people like the comeys of the world, because he was president, we have to let everything slide. he can rental the local old post office in d.c. from the government and make that a private hotel. basically be bribed by foreign

officials. every time they swipe their card, they're paying him. he can do all that. say he wants to turn mar-a-lago into the new camp david. he can do all these things, break. at a laws, there is nothing he can't do. meanwhile, the actual committee that is trying to look at his criminality is using the tactics that would be used to investigate the mob. the committee is employing tactics used by mobsters and terrorists. they have quietly turned at least six lower level trump staffers into witnesses who provided information about their boss's activities. this is "the new york times" reporting. and i just wonder, juanita, i don't know where. we it doesn't seem like the criminal justice system is capable of dealing with trump. is this committee in your view stacking up to be a tool of actual accountability? >> that's what they're trying to do with intention. i'm honestly all for it.

right? i feel like this is the first bench mark. we know the mandate is to ensure accountability and prevent this from ever happening again. and that could be through legislation or criminal referrals for those responsible. and i'm so for it that what i think they're preparing to do is try to make the case to the doj. as you said, we have seen every signal from the doj that they're not already on it. that should be frightening for a lot of people. the select committee seems to be bracing itself for trying to convince the doj to prosecute trump. when they hire prosecutors, when they collect the evidence, when they're doing the hundreds of interviews, they know this comes down to the strength of their referrals to get him prosecuted. and i want to point out in that "new york times" article, an attorney said what if the gop tries to do the same thing? we just saw the gop under

trump's leadership attempt a coup. and it will be that much worse if there is no accountability. if these tactics aren't leveraged. we know the select xhae has been met with every delay tactic possible, whether it is through courts or trump's direction through his allies. so they're doing what needs to be done. >> we know the answer. they're going to do it. they're going to. newt gingrich already said, oh, wait until we're charge. we're going on investigate mrs. biden, find out what she's doing in school. they've already made it clear they're going to launch witch hunts against democrats. we know that. if they do it on the house side, with the true trump maga people are, here's what the senate will do. here's marco rubio. his picture practically pops up. here he is unable to say the words trump was wrong about the insurrection.

watch. >> do you agree that mike pence? well, if trump runs for re-election, i believe he would defeat joe biden and i don't want kamala harris to have the power to overturn the election. >> so donald trump was wrong? >> i don't think the vice president has that power. >> tim? >> well, there must be something in the water in florida. ron desantis couldn't answer that same direct question either. it seems simple on whether the vice president can overturn the election. did you notice one tick there by senator rubio? he referred to donald trump as president trump and joe biden and kamala harris as joe biden and kamala harris. this is part of being in a cult. when you call a person who lost, who is a wedding deejay in mar-a-lago right now, mr. president, and you call the actual president, joe. that's a sign that he's in a cult and signaling to the

supporters that he's with them. there is something fishy about this election. rubio, you know, rubio was supposed to be one of the ones when he ran for re-election the last time. in 2016. you might remember this. he ran saying that he wants him to put it in there because he'll hold clinton accountable or trump accountable. and he's thrown that to the wayside. and there's no amount of evidence that could come out. donald trump said it himself. we don't need the evidence. he said it himself in a statement just last week. and so you know, these guys are being allowed to get around it by going back to the top of the segment. an imbalance in the treatment of donald trump's actions from the main stream media via what we saw in 2016 with regards to clinton. >> the media compare the

hysteria over hillary clinton's risotto emails over what trump has done collectively. when marco rubio said that, he said that he vowed to be his accountant or give him a nice massage if his shoulders get tired. you have to get the subtlies. he's a sophisticated politician. let's talk about ivanka. we're sneaking closer to the time, the january 6th committee will have to call a trump. they'll have to subpoena a trump. could she be the one? ivanka trump went on to make at least two tenacious attempts to reason with her father, bombarded with allies, begging him to quell the violence. saying they could provide access to what trump was doing during these crucial three hours when he was not stopping the insurrection. is this the window where the january 6th committee finally subpoenas someone with the

surname, trump? >> i think so. especially when we're seeing the hard core aggressive tactics, unlike what it looks like the justice department is doing. so in the real world, prosecutors all in, your family, your mom, your kids. they do that all the time. so i wouldn't be surprised again if this aggressive house committee does that. we don't know that ivanka was down and dirty with trump. so far we haven't heard any evidence of criminal activity on her part, or january 6th. but she was definitely bound with him. she was very, lindsey graham said he called ivanka, pleading that the president had to do something and she indicated that she was on it. so what did the president know? what was he thinking ivanka knows? and she could spill it if the committee subpoenas her and makes her testify.

>> this should be very interesting to watch. given the things trump has said about ivanka. never say down and dirty. no. that will give people night players. up next on "the reidout." the president of france tries to talk some sense into putin as president biden meets with one of the top allies at the white house. the new push among some democratic governors to ease school mask mandates. why now? is it safe? tonight's reid out democracy defenders comes to us from texas. she's fighting back against draconian laws. she's living out of a van to get voters registered. and already a new low. we can only imagine what rock bottom looks like. ine what rock ine what rock bottom looks like. 7,000 dahlias, vegetables, and brisket for dinner.

perfectly clear. i just don't go around advocating for war at all. in fact, back in 2003, i quit my local news job because i strongly opposed the war in iraq. war is awful. it is the troops and innocent locals who wind up paying the cost. nbc news have not again our reminder of. that according to u.s. official to direct knowledge of the russian military is preparing for a large siege invasion for ukraine. they can include a capture of kyiv. he's positioned 110,000 forces at the border. with the goal of getting to 150,000. they're equipped with a stunning arsenal of weapons. officials warn that if putin were to go through with a full scale invasion. nearly 50,000 civilians could be killed or wounded. about 5000 and 25,000 ukrainian troops will be killed or wounded. about 3000 and 10,000 russian troops would be killed or wounded. and i'm unprovoked attack was a

one to 5 million people are either refugees or internally displaced. after a meeting with the new german chancellor today president biden told reporters that it would be wise for americans to leave ukraine. french president macron who spent six hours with vladimir putin told reporters that the coming days are crucial. for decades this kind of unsolicited aggression would've prompted a bipartisan review, but not anymore. that's because a new reality serving among republicans who are indifference to such aggressions by -- totally cool. naturally the most loudest comes from cia reject and tucker carlson. who's ratcheted up his claims that nato is irrelevant and china are the one with the foreign looking people is far more dangerous. naturally, he has a common cause with senator and self proclaimed -- josh hawley. >> this point native predict exist torment vladimir putin. has no intention of invading

western europe. we're really gonna fight a war over some corrupt eastern european country that is strategically irrelevant to us. with everything else -- you never explain to you what's the point of nato was at this 0.30 years after -- >> i think there is a lot of how we shea legacy -- about nato where it's sort of has its own steam. we need to say to our nato allies that they need to do more of their own defense. >> but these faux popular boys are telling you that china would probably love it if we ignored russia's invasion of ukraine. that means that they can pull a putin in taiwan. these kremlin propaganda that's what -- good do. sean bolton, perennial bad guy in the national security adviser told news week that trump would've given ukraine away and had he won the election. he added, i think in a second trump term, the russians would already be in kyiv. carlson, halle, and others are

affecting a broader position within the trump party that whatever is good for putin, is good for america first. joining me now is lieutenant colonel we alexander vindman, and former security counsel -- and senior adviser to -- naveed jamali, thank you both for being here. alexander vindman i want to start with you. love you being fired for having testified and told the truth in front of a committee that was impeaching donald trump. that note for all is today's anniversary for you. and now we face the situation where the thing trump hated the most, will not hated the most, he hated a lot of things. but nato was something that he wasn't in favor of. that idea that nato is irrelevant and not useful has taken hold of the base of the republican party. tucker carlson and josh hawley, in your view what would be the consequence of the u.s. was gonna say nato year on iran.

this is something that's not just digitally important to us anymore. >> sure, thanks for having me joy. this is the tea anniversary of my removal from the white house. >> [laughs] >> but i think this will be very consequential, it's seismic. the consequences of a russian attack and a lack of response from the u.s. and nato would show that it is really not a functional alliance. i think if we look at this from a kind of historical standpoint, if we look back to the cold war, russia could've conducted -- tens of thousands of troops on the border. we would have all sorts of functions mobilize to defend. we did a lot of wishful thinking, a lot of speculation on what the limits of vladimir putin and when his aspirations. our -- article five differs -- the cannot know for certainty but we do know is that there, we have the capabilities to

push further. and we should treat that seriously. these are supposed to be legitimate alliances, they should treat threat seriously. right now, we're probably not quite doing enough. as for the geopolitical situation it would be frightening. there is no such thing as nato in -- the there's a much series of alliances that are coming together and the bar for other adversaries to act is even lower their. so if the u.s. is now willing to its most critical alliances and i think everything else is up for grabs. >> right, and so the thing, i've talked about this before but we've talked about the idea of donald trump having the strongman states. each one is a strongman state in and of itself. whatever they do they do. whether they're aggressive or anti-u.s. it doesn't matter as long as they're strong-ing whether it's north korea, russia. that's what he gravitated. towards i get why trump love putin, but you tweeted a tweet

during this weekend, that asked the question why does his base, who are basically, mainly republicans christian evangelicals who came into the party with reagan by and large part. adversarial towards the soviet union. why do they love russia so much? why do they love the kremlin, and putin so much? talk a little bit about that. >> there is this idea that russian ideology sort of fits up with this republican belief. this rolling back of progressionism. let's start with the russian perspective. look, i spent three very difficult years working against the russian -- military intelligence. from a diplomatic standpoint, i'm not coming from an academic standpoint i. sat across the room from these people. i can tell, you joy, there is one thing it only one thing that drives russian ideology. that is the retraction of the united states as alex was saying from europe, from

central asia. and they don't want us. there they want to return to russian expansionism. that's it. on the other side here in the united states of disbelief because of russia. i'm surmising. here rushes an overwhelming white country, the people look at that and say hey, they must have values that align with. ours but the reality is, russians don't really go to coach in the same numbers that america does. they have a higher rate -- of there's nothing about their society, reagan called russia godless -- there is nothing about russia beyond the fact that it's -- about the russians, joy, are happy to use anyone that will cause chaos in the united states. the reason that this is happening today with russia on the precipice of going into ukraine. in my opinion is very simple. they see a window of opportunity. and that window opportunities in large part because of the chaos that is here and their main adversary, the united

states. that is perhaps the biggest threat the ukraine's instability that exist here in the united states. let me just read from just security, up it's that russia has both turned a blind eye to far-right paramilitary isn't within its own borders and actively cultivated neo-nazism in the. less these decisions align with its broader project of western democracy and influence transcontinental -- despite its relatively weak military economy. this sort of idea among the top our world if we leave russian alone and stop barring, they will be aggressive towards western europe. that they're only willing, they only want ukraine back, they shouldn't let him have it. if the west were to just let them have ukraine. -- it are they not wrong that saying that russia would be satisfied and be a benign power? >> that is a preposterous

notion. tucker carlson should not be taken seriously, he has no clue what's going on. he appears with a dictator on a regular basis. i mean, i'm not just talking about hungarian dictators. but there's something else to be said about a broader class of conservative that thinks that if we just let go on this ukraine and nato situation. that is far from the truth. the fact is, russia has a series of different objectives that need. one of them is ukraine -- another is a fractured europe nato alliance. and it's such a construct that russia could course. could use its power symmetrically and asymmetrically to -- it's not going to be the enemy. this notion of going back and saying it's okay, ukraine will be part of nail well in no way alleviate the situation.

this is about ukraine, this is about destroying a powerhouse of europe in the euro atlantic at -- >> and this america first crisis. it doesn't believe in the power of the west acting together. it is a strange world. reliving alexander vindman, and lieutenant colonel alexander vindman, and now vijay molly. thank you so much. about the rights really weird soft spot for vladimir putin, and we the reidout law. loving the mask mandate in three states and pairs and educators. we'll talk ahead of the new jersey teaching situation -- about the tricky balancing. at stay with us. icky balancing icky balancing at stay they're shunned, outcast, living in pain. you can reach out and change the life as 45 minu of a suffering child right now. tes

? leave the room body. >> that -- is an icon. trouble in training glenn youngkin -- that lesson being that virginia especially the heavily democratic city of alexandria is not florida. and it's awful little mission to tear down these masks for no other reason than being a mini rob desantis. that doesn't mean back to coming off and other parts of the country. in delaware, connecticut democratic governors have set timelines a mandatory mask to come off in schools and job care -- in the coming roots. citing a decline of covid. phil murphy maintains that masks are important tool to prevent the spread of covid and says districts and childcare provider might still be able to decide whether they want to impose a mask mandate should community conditions require. it joining me now is sean phillips, and doctor vin gupta,

and msnbc pulmonary and banal adjust. now mr. philip, thank you for being here. your organization represents 200,000 public schools in the state of new jersey. this was the statement that came out today. we are cautiously optimistic that the current statewide school mask mandate can be safely relax in the new future, assuming current trends continue. talk to me about the feedback you're getting from educators, and school employees about the relaxing of these mandates? are people scared what's the status? >> well thanks, joy, for having me. there's no one that certainly happy in this pandemic. i think there's absolutely a lot of people that are fearful, rightfully so. we're going into an unprecedented moment with a lot of stress. certainly our colleagues have always said from the start that we need to follow the science

that at times has led to more relaxation of the rules. and there's a nor stringent of the mitigation measures, masks being one of them. we're very fortunate here in new jersey we have a governor that believes the following the science, and following the data. we continue to press that. no one can predict exactly what things look like. we'll see how things are trending. but should anything change and look different at the time, or even in the future it shouldn't be a political decision to take a mask off. and it should be one to put them back. on >> i asked whether or not people are happy about it. there's two different things working you have the fatigue that people are feeling, those are people that are doing the right things there exhausted by. it they're exhausted by having to mask up, they're exhausted by having to do all the things with so many people are doing nothing and not getting vaccinated. at the same time, there still a lot of fear especially among parents. even on our team, that have young kids. so what's the balance there. are these teachers by and large

feeling nervous to be unmask in a room with a bunch of unmask kids? >> i think the answer is simply yes. i think i'm nervous, with two young kids, and those that are eligible for the vaccine are still out there. the answer to that this is what we must need to keep looking at is what does that data tell us, are we seeing anything. because a decision should go through like this in the future where we see a case numbers change, where we see the transmission occurring in schools. we need to adapt that big quickly and follow all the data. a tool that can help us -- all options have to remain on the table. people are afraid, people are scared. and it's unfortunate that -- we will all be making easier decisions but fortunate that's not the case. >> wouldn't that be nice. doctor gupta, it's clear that this sort of smart politics for

governor, in the safe politics is permission. you're vaccinated, take off your mask live your life. that's the political decision that a lot of governors are making and places like florida it's super permissive. the most permissive possible. but at the same time you do have a lot of outbreaks. i know the states that are relaxing these mandates, these are the most vaccinated states in the country. let's put it up. their new jersey has a 73% vaccination. right connecticut is 77%, the u.s. averages is 64%, and delaware is 67%. between states that are highly vaccinated they can move like this to ease mask mandates and the low vaccination states, particularly in the south. >> joy, good evening. it's an interesting question because -- the warmer, drier air spring in summer we're gonna see a reprieve across the country come wintertime 2022, states

with low vaccinations are gonna experience -- over the past two winters. this about is about what's gonna happen in the future versus what's gonna happen in the immediate term. having said that, it's good for all your viewers to listen out there. especially those who haven't gotten their kids vaccinated a. lot of parents haven't got on. that pediatric hospitalizations as of today, in icu, but peachy after hospitalizations are still at 500 hospitalizations a day. that's double, joy, that's doubled in the delta wave. and it's important people to recognize that it's still dangerous out there but i do like what governor murphy did. starting to relax these conditions because if we need to turn them back on come wintertime at least we have that credibility. >> and very quickly, so mark said that connecticut recommend the state and the mask mandate by february 28th. i do want to talk about that

case but i'm concerned about at this point, i'm done arguing with people that don't want to get vaccinated. live your. life but i am concerned that the unvaccinated are gonna overwhelm our hospital systems and claps them quite frankly. what is the state from which you are seeing of our health care system overall, and if there is another huge surge in the winter, doctor gupta, can our national health system, our statewide health system handled it? >> the answer is no. because, joy, especially come next where we expect the flu to come under resurgence. let's be clear there are no restrictions. there are no restrictions on indoor dining, there's no restrictions on will closures, you name. it we're living in a pretty normal environment. but sometimes we say mask up. there are no restrictions. but fundamentally we're in a better position to handle a surge. we've lost over 15,000 people just this past week. might have an icu that's constantly stressed. the military -- has this is not gonna change the reality are not changing in

six months. >> that's what i'm more worried about, at this point we need to save the health system whatever that takes. we're now have you come back and talk about that. we need to start thinking strategically how we save our health care system. thank you so much very great to meet you. thank you both very much. still ahead but first another the reidout, traveling across to texas in a van to -- traveling acros traveling acros to (burke) you get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks.

fight to prevent access to the ballot. the u.s. supreme court cleared the way for alabama to use its new congressional redistricting map putting on hold a lower court ruling that violated the voting rights act by denying black voters a new district. it's the latest hostility to voting rights on the court, that was gutting the voting

rights act back in 2013. it's now even more right-wing. a limiting the requirement for states with a history of voter suppression to get federal preclearance for changes to voting laws. including texas, ground zero in turning the former president's big lie into active voter suppression. with the draconian sellable well passed last year even as democratic flip the state to stop it. but elected officials aren't the only ones trying to defend our democracy. we have democracy defenders. yes, it is regular folks going above and beyond fighting to ensure each citizen's voices heard. even if it means living in a van to do it. that's exactly would native texan taylor coleman set out to do, living out of her van named barr up to register voters across the lone star state. helping navigate draconian new rules. it's no small feat, but necessary one given the lengths and republicans have gone to restrict voting access. the new law makes it a felony for local election officials to

send unsolicited applications for mail-in ballots. however, it is okay under the law for politicians to campaign to do the very same thing. see how that works? sense of hypocrisy pens name is actually republican. lieutenant governor dan patrick for example said that mail-in ballot applications even though he helped ban election officials from doing the same thing. so did you as represented dan crenshaw, sending prefilled absentee ballot -- to seniors saying all they had to do is sign, stamp, and mail it. in today's readout defender taylor joins me now. and taylor, the laws sure are different in your state for people like the governor, lieutenant governor and congresspeople for regular ordinary election officials. interesting. talk about what you're doing, i understand you're gonna be joining with black voters matter, you're gonna have a gotv campaign, touring hbcus. talk about what you're doing? >> yeah, number one thank you

so much for having me. there is definitely does seem to be a different rules for the republican leadership at this stage versus regular voters. you pointed out how dan patrick, not only help but really assure that law through the senate. of the texas state senate, but also danny crenshaw. using their own political offices to send out vote by mail applications when no longer can these non partisan officials automatically send out applications to people who are eligible. like those over 65. so it's been very unfortunate to see the impact of this bill, which is why i like you said, i am living in my van barb, learning frankly a lot of these laws. i worked campaigns for a living i feel even for me who is a

struggle to make sure that i'm doing everything correctly, the way i'm supposed to be doing that. and i'm excited to partner with some groups that are on the ground, and i've been doing this work for such a long time. like black voters matter, who will be doing an early vote rally before the march primary heading to hbcus across the state. i'm very excited to participate. in that not just to get young voters out to the polls for this primary. but take the opportunity to educate them. about a lot of these new laws, and how they impact them in the long run. >> and yeah, we've heard some stories. there is a houston story about a 95 year old world war ii veteran that never missed a vote suddenly having his application to vote rejected two times. he first registered in the 1940s on the rule didn't require a social security our drivers license, now he's have

two -- multiple times the floor is voting application can be process. talk about some of what you're hearing from voters, what kind of pitfalls are they facing trying to navigate this new law? would you said you're having to learn about on the way. >> absolutely, that store you mentioned. we all saw that firsthand here on the local news about the world war ii that trend who was always been mailing in his valid. of course the rules this year make it a bit harder. that's just one of many. there's so many rejections happening in counties. some of the largest counties across the state. and also, we haven't gotten to yet was the law that are forcing some of these rejections are also gonna impact return ballots. so just as there was confusion about whether or not to include your drivers license, or your social security number on your

application. if you mix that up on your ballot, your ballot can be rejected. so, there's just some many different ways in which there have been obstacles placed in between americans and their ballots here in texas. and it's really unfortunate. i also think the confusion that is arising from these laws is not just me, and the voters, about the county election officials are confused. i have visited with some county officials who are concerned if they go out of their way to help people, resolve mistakes on their balance. like you mentioned earlier, these are -- felonies that they can be charged. with yeah, so it's a very clear effort to put obstacles in front of the ballot box. >> absolutely, and intimidate voters. and we know it is deliberate.

governor of virginia, glenn youngkin, has demonstrated that

nothing is indicative of his office. to prove that point his campaign launched a scathing attack on a teenage high school student. i could do. not on saturday's 17 year old ethan land tweeted a story from richmond's public radio station vpn, that reported that youngkin wanted to get rid of an education initiative that teaches a history of enslaved people at virginians mansion. the story itself describes how the director of -- interpretation and education at the mansion had resigned. after finding her office had been emptied. but it also included a detail that you don't get to deny, the education space in the building intended to be used as a classroom to teach about slavery was being reconverted back into a family room by the governor's statue. youngkin spokesperson denies this. but it wouldn't be exactly entire at a county that but governor that's made it a prior to whitewash american history. and banned decisive lessons on race. before we even correct the record the official team

youngkin account on twitter issued i'm nasty ad ad hominem rotash -- which will be bad enough. but the high school student who tweeted about it. the youngkin team posted a photograph of islam with ralph northam, a yearbook photo and showing him in another person wearing blackface in a clue cuts clan robe. the caption reads, here is an event picture of ethan with a man that had a black kkk face in a yearbook. -- smeared a kid in high school because they didn't like what he tweeted. that truly tweet remained online for 12 hours before it was taken down. and even after it was deleted a youngkin operative continue to blast the high school kid. labeling him undramatic party official, a sort -- communications. up stencilled because he's doth -- he's a kid that cares about politics. the operative suggests that team young can only realize their blunder when they learned

that lynn was actually a minor, the tweet was removed. so the problem with that is that lane identified himself as a high school student on his public twitter bio. they should have maybe read that before they decided to lash out of. him leave this to say, lashing out at a juvenile maxima look at juvenile himself. and offered no apology. in fact, he's actually blaming an unnamed staffer for sending what he called an unauthorized tweet. remember, this is the same guy with a meltdown when the news media accurately rip accurately reported his own teenage side tried to vote illegally in the november election while underage. not once, but twice. >> i am a little bit frustrated that it's become that the media pay so much attention to it. i love everyone to leave my family alone. >> yet now youngkin doesn't have the decency to apologize to a 17-year-old -- and that is why virginia
