they're upset that youngkin has passed what they consider anti-trans legislation, work to get rid of and restricted bucks in schools. they say it's harmful and disruptful. george mason has been heralded for diversity and inclusion. gmu has been named the most diverse university in virginia and the school sells parents on the power of perspectives and embrace ago multitude of people and ideas. gmu is hosted numerous previous governors like mark warner, terry mccullough to speak at commencement ceremonies. on the other side, one students says he looks forward to the speech. >> it's typical for the governor to go to the largest public school in the commonwealth of virginia. it's not atypical whether they're a republican or democrat. >> governor youngkin says he looks forward to addressing the 2023 graduates of george mason university and celebrating their come -- accomplishment. in other words, see you graduation day. >> martha: thanks, mike. with that we bring in jonathan turley. great to have you here with us. as mike reported, the school's mission prides itself on teaching students a

i am quite sure it does not in the same way that the youngkin campaign did in 2021.f the gop is you are spending time on this niche of internet-right wing issue while joe biden is minimizing his political vulnerability. >> there is a difference. the glen youngkin was thinking of the election in virginia and donald trump were thinking of the republicans for the primary. we have seen those internet cultural war pick or choose your grievance issues really rise to the you see that reflected in all the candidates language. not just donald trump, not just ron desantis but when nikki haley and mike or even tim scott, that's really motivating a lot of the republican base. while there is certainly a gap between where that rhetoric is in a general election audience that we saw in the midterms, these folks are thinking of a republican primary where it seems that's the plurality of where the electorate is. >> let's turn to donald trump's legal problems. do you think he had said in the past that would help him? >> yeah. >> if he was indicted. do you think it will and particularly

glenn youngkin, yale. ron desantis, harvard, yale. that is the elite.ke back the world or the country from the woke elite, who do they mean? >> let's talk about one thing first off. the culture war is happening because the right doesn't want to talk about policy. they don't want to talk about the economy. they don't want to talk about the real things that americans need because they have no policies to address those things. so they talk about the culture war and get people excited about trans women going into bathrooms and black people taking your jobs, and immigrants breaking into your house, rather than having to talk about actual economic real serious political issues. the thing with the harvard club story that you brought up is it's actually, i believe that they would see the world that way because that is how they have constructed the world of alternate facts that they live in. that people like charles koch are paying certain scientists to come up with phony studies that they are creating media figures like sean hannity, who go on television and sa

jitters because of that, someone said to glenn youngkin, something big is happening.e is now the governor. >> in his first year and a half as governor, he is actually following through. imagine that to a republican politician following through on what he said he was going to do. in 2010, in your pocket right now, you have the equivalents of a television studio from the late 1980's. you have the kind of video editing and distribution power that a cable news network in the 90's would be envious of. 1.9 million people waiting to see your video. >> it shows the power of the individual. someone like me with no background or experience with any of this, i had no network no connections or nothing. i started it and grew to what it is in have such a impact. every single person in this room could do the same thing. every single person should stand up. if you see something you should say something. it is so easy with social media. you're a reporter by having a cell phone and a twitter account, instagram account. >> that is how you beat the media bias. i know this panel was going

governor youngkin is seen as someone who really wrote the play book for republicans going into 2021.ons and won election in a blue leaning purple state like virginia, so i think a lot of republicans like chris sununu say someone like governor dplen youngkin could do very well in a general election despite the facts that he is very conservative. at the same time, though, he doesn't seem to be registering as much with republican primary voters. you know, it's interesting, jonathan, because he has a lot of the same views that donald trump and governor desantis him, and him and governor desantis policy wise are actually very similar, but stylistically they couldn't be more different. they have different personalities. ron desantis is much more in your face, much more brash. governor youngkin is definitely more of a calmer presence, someone who is probably more diplomatic in how he speaks to democrats than the media, you know, voters and such. so going forward it'll be interesting to see how that style plays out in the republican primary, but like i said polls show that this is still a tr

a lot of republicans taken off of the example of youngkin, ran hard on plentiful control.al race theory, panic in schools, and they did badly. tutor dixon, the republican governor terrell candidate in michigan ran almost solely on those issues and failed. meanwhile, a color earlier noted, election deniers. they fared really badly in 2022. this was an election that everyone was predicting would be a red wave. just because of the traditional dynamics of midterm elections. i think the republicans, you know, this is a big problem going into a general election. you have a rhonda santos, who has a state, most of his governing record on this kind of draconian, in my view, crack down on racial honesty in the schools. a very top down. another thing to note about both desantis and youngkin, first of all, they ran against incredibly weak democratic opponents. -- campaign really poorly. charlie crist has been an also ran for a long time for florida. they benefited from that. desantis in particular has a supermajority in florida. he can just run up the score on his legislative agenda w

a new 2024 virginia presidential election poll shows governor glenn youngkin would beat president biden 55 to 39% in a hypothetical. biden won virginia in 2020 by ten points. what happened? >> i think it's clear how the democrats have gone way to the extreme far left particularly on the issue of education and what's going on in schools has been a focus. youngkin focused on that and channeling parents' frustration and came across as we were discussing earlier as a reasonable person with the experience and commitment to actually get things done. he had the whole package. whether it translates on the national stage i don't know. too early to say. i would say he is not that well-known outside virginia. these polls i would take with a pinch of salt at this point. >> harris: you have a number of republican governors, though, of course ron desantis is florida, but others who have done things in their states and they make national news for doing them and people start to see them. is there enough time between now and when people would make a decision in and out of primaries about some of these r

>> you know, youngkin needs to remain in the news. he was the fresh face after 2021.in some ways, neil, the protests here that he's encouraging that. that it kind of stamps him as someone who is standing up for free speech, standing up against what he calls woke politics. he and desantis are using their position against woke politics to try to brand themselves going into 2024. >> neil: got it. we'll see. all unannounced. making moves and doing things that make you think they're about to announce. we'll see how that sorts out. thank you for that. in the meantime, all things military and military spending, the push on capitol hill by some of our mightiest in defense to say we need to focus on defense. about that budget for defense. after this. >> we don't pass a budget, the readiness levels will drop. we've done the math before. shingles doesn't care. i go to spin classes with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn't care. because no matter how healthy you feel, your risk of shingles sharply increases after age 50. but shingrix protects. proven over 90% effective, s

. >> so there's been a little buzz about youngkin, whether it's youngkin, pence, or haley, anyone whogoing to go scorched earth. i don't see a world where that person survives that. >> your latest in vanity fair is titled this, his spokesman was like, well, we don't really have any evidence. talk about a walk back. then it's been breathless impeachment coverage. he's raised a ton of money in the pac and the campaign. it's been a boom for him. also, the politician who has really been hurt by his indictment, ron desantis. >> right. we're not talking about desantis. certainly, his polls have slipped in the last few weeks. let's take the other side of this. there's a lot of republicans who, as you say, are not enthusiastic about trump. the base is but others aren't. on the democratic side, though, there are polls that suggest a similar poll for biden. democrats like joe biden, think he's done a good job. they're not sure they want him to run again with age being the biggest factor. how concerned should those be, the democratic strategists, those in the white house, be concerned about the

[laughter] i don't know why you're shaking your head -- what's up, scottsome were you listening to my editorial there? [laughter] >> it makes my blood boil, stuart. i mean, i have two big reasons for why we're in the situation we're in. number one is we've lost control of our universities. i think that's pretty plain and simple. that's gone by the by, that's been a big one. then a lot of people have started to talk about it. number two, stuart, i hate to say this, but the further or and further we get away from world war ii the, you see more and more of this happening. you combine the fact that we've got a bigger distance there from world war ii the with the fact that we've lost control of our universities, and we've got ourselves in a pretty big pickle. stuart: i think you're right. let me move on to finance because i think you e

, part of the reason why glenn youngkin became the governor of virginia is because they were concernedbeing taught in the classroom. they called it crt, and we all know that that is a cokeville catchall for things that people don't want to talk about, whether it is lgbtq issues, materials in the books, what happens with some of those parents is that they end up on watchlists. having those intricate, real conversation with the parents about those issues. so yes, every time that there is a pga conference, our pta meeting where parents go to read passages from a book being taught to their children and it cannot even be read out loud, only are talking about issues and we cannot even throw the book on television, all of that reinforces the fact that there are parents who are concerned and that consistent problem on the left is that people dismiss those concerns out of hand and say that they know better, which quite literally is why every republican in the country -- >> i would just like to add that i think on the other side of that conversation, and by the way i'm an independent, i know tha

youngkin used it is this a big opportunity for republicans? >> as a whole lotta democratic parent to prioritize their kids education above being blind, loyal democrats and i thought for camping for governor last year if you talk to an asian american. to have an advanced academic or merit-based specialty school or opposing critical race theory if their lifelong democrat that transcends everything and they're willing to vote and that's not with all parents and they made it run out of time this week my thanks to lee zeldin and byron york i'll be back with commentary and inte >> "barron's roundtable" sponsored by global x etfs. jack otter: welcome to "barron's roundtable" where we get behind the headlines and prepare you for the week ahead. we are setting fresh highs, we will ask the dean of valuation how to value stocks now. a high-tech revolution propping up for american farmers which companies are getting traction. before we begin, three things investors ought to be thinking about, stocks finished the week higher despite rising bond yields. tes

why are words so heavy on some liberal students, jessica, what do they care about youngkin.obably think they are the smartest people in the world. >> i think it would be cool to have a governor as your class speaker even one any necessarily love his politics. >> so, what's wrong with these kids? >> they haven't been taught these are all good things to listen to people that you don't agree with, it's part of the real world. we talk about that a lot, what is going to happen to you when you spill on to the street, it's a utopia for four years and then you have to go get a job and i get it it might be delayed, whatever it is. eventually we all enter. and there are people around who don't think the way that you think. i do think like going back to remember stanford as an it person, that ridiculous list that they pulled back and then i look at this. this is michigan state. >> not even a real college. >> oh, they are fighting words. >> not at all what -- >> christmas tree, pioneer? some don't make sense. >> tipping point or bonkers. >> i am going to jail. >> i don't understand. >>

and i haven't had a chance t really review governor youngkin's, you know, full policies on trans policiesat since that really brave high schoo student niko was asking this question that they aren' really in line with protecting trans individuals. we are seeing these as a attack on a community. and so attacking trans identity, attacking trans individuals an bathrooms, and attacking acces to bathrooms and sports an basically eradicatin transgender-ism from publi life clearly it is what is on the agenda for many politicians. and while i do think tha gender neutral bathrooms are a good place to start, i certainly is not the only thin that we are asking for when it comes to protections for lgbtq individuals. and unfortunately, a lot o these policies and bills are being put forth using rhetoric and online sort of anecdotes that they hear, but not really with the participation of or considering the live experience of tren individuals. so unfortunately when you do have a discriminatory law that bans access to gendered spaces like bathrooms and sports, you think that you are addressing, you know,

losing his race for governor of virginia and basically told parents to put out of schools as glenn youngkinering away at toxic politicized public schools. is that true? is that really, is that twist really true? >> that is absolutely what the documents that we subpoenaed and gathered so far indicate. the timing of this was very suspect. the national school board association sent a letter to the white house. they colluded with the biden administration to get the department of justice to issue this memo that basically equated parents, not basically, it did, with domestic terrorists and the fbi created a threat tag edu officials and they used that to begin investigations on parents showing up at school board meetings. the timing, liz, is very suspect because what we realized in our investigation is that this coincided directly with that contested gubernatorial race in virginia that glenn youngkin ultimately won. education was the big issue and if everybody remembers at the time that was dominating the headlines everywhere, so they weaponized the department of justice to engage in this and we t

here's glenn youngkin with me on sunday.we're standing up strong. we're going to make sure that our agricultural farmland is not purchased by the ccp. we've got a bill now through on a bipartisan basis that i will sign that will keep china from buying our agricultural farmland, particularly next to our nationally strategic assets like the pentagon and the largest naval base in the world. we're going to make sure we keep these national extra tea jibing assets safe -- strategic assets safe. maria: that's pretty unbelievable, isn't it, the ccpp wanting to buy farmland after a spy basis balloon floats over our military installations for over a week. what are you going to do about communist china. >> they're at the top of the list. foreign policy is about prioritization. i called for he declaring independence from communist china. that is the declaration of independence of our century. and that is not going to be easy. a decoupling from the chinese economy will involve some level of sacrifice. but we can make those sacrifices if
