quietly launched by mccauliffe in june. it may sound like a new site the page hasn't published any posts or photos and only 67 people have liked the page. that's facebook's method of describing followers. most voters who have come in contact with the download have done so through paid advertising. the mccauliffe campaign has spent $471,044 on ads on this page since june. they contain a comment and link to a mainstream media news article that covers the campaign favorably. along with the links to legitimate media in seven separate advertisements and dozens of variations that promote websites considered to be fake news. it comes as the dnc is highly critical of social media sites to not do enough to combat fake news. they've declined a comment of promoting misleading news sites. fox news couldn't find any evidence or youngkin or the republican party of virginia were promoting any fake news sites during this campaign. >> dana: good information. thank you, mike. >> intriguing story. guess what's back? what we did here is we sho

youngkin with an eight point lead over terry mccauliffe. two weeks ago mccauliffe was up five. that's a 14-point swing. can you get a 14-point swing in 14 days? we poll in this one among likely voters. you also have registered voters. likely voters they seem over history to give you the best sense of what's happening on the ground. this is what was going on on the ground 11 months ago. joe biden beat trump over 10 points. we went back to history. barack obama in 2008 won the state first time a democrat won virginia since 1964 by six points. remember obamacare issue out there. didn't fully get passed until 2010. but bob mcdonald, the republican ran for governor 11 months later after barack obama won the state and he won by 17 points. indeed, it is possible based on history. this is another interesting item here. extremely interested voters, how energized are you and enthused for your candidate? youngkin has a 10-point lead at 79-69 based on our polling released from yesterday. on the map here just the show you where the candidates are going today, this is the result from four ye

president biden joins mccauliffe tonight. some worry his low approval rating could be a drag on the ticket. >> bill: new poll from usa today showing the candidates at dead even in a state the president won less than a year ago by double digits. >> dana: newt gingrich will join us in a moment. but first we go to arlington, virginia. >> in that same poll 5% of voters are still undecided. before the candidates can try to sway them they have to convince their own base to show up on election day to get out the vote tour bus is continuing on. tonight mccauliffe will return to northern virginia. president biden will rally on his behalf. he is running against glenn youngkin. both made stops in virginia beach yesterday. biden easily won the northern counties last year. approval rating has taken a dive since. mccauliffe admitted those numbers have been no help to his campaign. the new fox news poll 50% in favor of the president. 48% don't favor him. youngkin says he welcomes the president to virginia. >> i guess virginians might be exc

youngkin now with 53%, two weeks ago mccauliffe led with 51%. that's what i like to call a little flip and roll. and with election day on tuesday, polling also shows likely virginia voters trust youngkin to do a better job on key issues like the economy, crime and state's hot button topic education. mccauliffe had taken heat for saying parents should not have control over what schools teach their kids. and this week he dug the hole deeper dismissing concerns over educational issues all together. >> how will you work with the parents who have concerns about how things are being taught in schools? >> let's be very clear here, this is all generated by glenn youngkin trying to find a divisive tactic. it is a racist dog whistle. i hate it. it is pitting parents against parents and teachers against teachers. >> harris: an indication of how spicy the race is getting terry mccauliffe's 21-year-old daughter caught on camera flipping off rival glenn youngkin signs. raymond arroyo, fox news contributor. we knew this race would tighten and it has in new jer

mccauliffe campaign says president biden will campaign with him on tuesday a few weeks after mccauliffepular in his state. congressman biggs, what is going on down there among democrats and should the president sit this one out or are you hoping he doesn't? >> i hope he doesn't because i think there is a couple of things that are happening. number one you are seeing a general effect of biden policies that are impacting people on inflation and economy and those types of things. once you get outside the d.c. beltway. and the other thing is what happened in northern virginia in loudon county. the crt, critical race theory curriculum issue. you have the allegations of a cover-up of rape of a couple of young ladies at loudon county schools. so when that happens and then you throw mccauliffe's statement that parents shouldn't have the same kind of role as teachers do in their children's education or minimizes parents' role he opened himself up. the question is i think loudon county will be a bellwether county because it went for biden last time. it's not going to go for biden this time which

terry mccauliffe is right.y in schools. >> martha: parents are just imagining things when they look at what's coming home from school. doug, they're just imagining it. they're upset when they hear that. they're upset when they hear that. they don't want to be told that they are falling for something that doesn't exist. they see it themselves. >> slavery? we can't talk about the fact we have slavery and jim crow? >> not one person has said that can't be taught in the schools. that's absolutely false. everyone wants the history of this country to be taught in our schools. the question is much deeper than that and hearing it at the board meetings. doug, i don't know how you get parents to become so passionate and animated. a lot of voters voted for president biden just not even a year ago. >> i think we can have a reasonable conversation about what's taught in schools, what parental involvement would be. terry mccauliffe should be of course i want parents involved in the decision of schools and make your liberal t

president biden going to help out mccauliffe is absolutely helpful.protect that particular state. virginia is important to the democratic election. >> harris: reporters might ask joe biden questions he doesn't want to answer, either. at least we'll get a shot at him. 15 seconds, matt. >> every word out of terry mccauliffe's mouth is a noun, verb and donald trump. he needs trump to fire up the liberal base. they are not engaged right now. >> harris: thank you for watching "the faulkner focus".

if terry mccauliffe loses in virginia we'll look back on this comment.on't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. the watershed moment in this race. that really changed the dynamic certainly down in that virginia governor's race where it is a toss-up right now. >> harris: thank you for being in "focus." we got to a lot. crowds at sporting events across the nation making their feelings known about president biden and very clear they are communicating. [crowd chanting [bleep] biden] >> harris: we're bleeping out that part. and the whole thing is taking on a life of its own now going viral in a huge way. jimmy failla is coming up. plus this. >> some loyal customers who think the move is anti-semitic. >> i mean -- i mean, what? i'm anti-jewish? i mean, i'm a jew. >> harris: okay, those are the co-founders of ben and jerry's ice cream and they are getting ripped for closing shop in parts of israel for political reasons but not doing the same here in the united states. power panel next. i would like to take a moment to address my fello

and terry mccauliffe is the godfather of all of it.on it would be terry mccauliffe and joe biden would be his uncle. virginians are tired of it. he wants to put government between parents and their children and force everybody to join the union. he wants to defund police. he wants to raise taxes. and they see that our platform, this campaign that i'm leading is all about lowering taxes, reestablishing excellence in our schools. having the best jobs and safe communities. this is clear and virginians know there is a better day in front of us and this is why we have so much momentum. what's happening right now is no longer a campaign. it is truly a movement. the movement across virginia. we will win our statewide races. we'll win our governor's race and lieutenant governor race and attorney general race and take back the house of delegates and see local elections stand up and win school board races and sheriff races and supervise re board races. virginians standsing up for what they know is right and rejecting terry mccauliffe. >> dana: t

terry mccauliffe's lead is growing smaller.ally for yunkin last night but he was a no-show as we walks the fine line between upsetting both sides. joining me now is terry mccauliffe. well, governor, great to have you back. the momentum seems to be in what was thought to be the challenger, self funded, what is making the difference? are you facing a lot of head winds because of the gridlock on capitol hill and frankly the problems that the biden white house is having? >> you know this is close a close race. for had for 44 years, the part that wins the white house will be the other party to win the governor. they started off by doing pledge of allegiance to a flag that was up here on january 6th for the insurrection. that alone is disqualifying and glenn has not come out to disqualify that. we lived through theinsanity of donald trump for four years. the only thing on his website has been election integrity. not jobs or education. he is doubling down on conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. he said the other day he wants v

the state for mccauliffe's election is said to be in a dead tie. chuck todd will be joining us, we'll get a preview on the new county to county focus, key areas and key states that could help us forecast what to expect in the next election cycle. let's start with a tipping point for the congressional white house. will progressives accept the bottom line on social spending, and will they agree to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill this week. the key sticking points right now, tax increases on corporations and high earners. the length of paid parental leave. joining us now is garrett haake, weekend today co-host peter alexander, ashley parker, and robert gibbs. garrett, starting with you on the hill. we heard from joe manchin today. what more can you tell us about where things stand on manchin watch? >> he would be the least of the problems right now. he continues to discuss what his red lines are or are not. and he put a little frame work around his top line spending number that might be useful for people to listen about. here he is talking abo

we know that terry mccauliffe didn't want to campaign with joe biden.d of a toxic attachment. so there is an awareness locally and nationally that what has happened here has been a mistake and now they are trying to retreat. but clearly it has been such a massive mistake it is part of what it is they've embraced completely and i don't think they can walk away from it. >> harris: republicans seemed perched. former president trump was recently in iowa. >> yeah. that was a lot of fun, a lot of great feedback for him. it certainly has made a lot of people very nervous because of what that meant. his rhetoric was a bit sharper about making -- bringing back america again or making it great again, again. a lot of presidential rhetoric and it is frightening people. we're seeing what is happening. the american people have realized it is not difficult to understand things have gone badly. i predict it will not change. if they were capable of changing they would have changed much earlier. so we're seeing that and of course iowa matters, all other states matter. th

this comment from mccauliff last turned the election on its head.tch. >> i'm going to let parents make their own decisions. i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. >> youngkin is seizing on this, stoke agriculture war over what kids are being taught in schools. look, you got kids. you're going to school board meetings. is his strategy working? >> i think it's working with some but what we really have to remember, don, is that this is a well-funded and well-resourced group of people that is going specifically to school board meetings to stir up controversy and, you know, i think the problem is twofold is that the democrats have been very slow to respond, you know, as they like to say in therapy, we have to name it to tame it and we need to define what this is, which is a cultural war. these are faux cultural wars, critical race theory is a huge part of that and the democrats have been silent on it, which i understand why they have been silent to some extent because it's non-sense but you have them controlling the narra

president obama and president biden will go try to help terry mccauliffe.s he is running this tight race. things aren't feeling good. i notice that he is campaigning in alexandria, virginia, the northern virginia suburb which at this point in the race if he is having to campaign there what does that tell you? >> well, this is a race of turnout. the most interesting statistic the president's party lost 11 of the last 12 virginia governor's races. typically virginia tends to be a bellwether and wants to be a counterintuitive here. what the democrats are concerned about is turnout and why they are bringing out the big guns in obama and biden to make sure they get these drop-off voters who they are worried about not voting in a president -- in a governor's election. >> dana: karl rove showed us those numbers in terms of early voting are way below what democrats need to pull out a win. terry mccauliffe yesterday ended an interview abruptly. >> all right, we're over. that's it, that's it. i gave you extra time. come on, man. you should have asked better questions

we see the mccauliffe's gaffe he doubled down on. down on anti-parental involvement in schools and telling lies about a stolen election that we hear in a different context coming to donald trump. sure he is bringing in the big guns because he is in trouble and that's what you are supposed to do. it is notable he is not bringing in the biggest gun, the current president. if joe biden numbers continue to go down, down, down the biden wind is running against mccauliffe and democrats nationally is something they're trying to avoid. makes sense to bring in barack obama and jill biden but not joe biden. >> dana: here is a poll showing a drop among independents in support for biden. gallup poll found the approval rating among independents falling to 37%. the lowest since taking office. mo, if the left wing basis e -- isn't motivated does the intensity of the race lean toward the republicans? >> i think you are seeing it is the enthusiasm gap is fairly narrow. both sides are seeing about an equal amount of enthusiasm. last poll i saw was rep

he campaigned with terry mccauliffe and he has a trip abroad tomorrow.o have an ongoing dispute between the head of the progressives, congresswoman janet paul, and nancy pelosi on what is a frame work? is it a list? is it legislative text? >>. >> is just one more factor that could cloud down this process. first to what the president is doing here he will be reaching out to lawmakers. will there be meetings that remain to be seen. the takes are high for all of the withins that you laid out. he is going overseas tomorrow and the stakes could not be higher. they need a deal before he departs. the world leaders o so fest cased enough to come to their own conclusions about what commitments they may or may not make. but just take that climate summit. he will be asking various world leaders to make commitments when it comes to climate and the optics could be difficult. you think about the domestic politics, the fact that he was out overnight campaigning for terry mccauliffe, that was next tuesday. they said that the president and lawmakers need to get into a ro

it's obviously why mccauliffe's campaign spends so much energy trying to connect duncan to donald trumpit's a modern curse of politics in virginia. the party that controls the presidency that's what you're seeing here going all the way back to 1977, the party that's controlled the white house almost always has lost the virginia governor's race. you could see it right here going back to 1977, jimmy carter, a democrat was the president. republicans won the governorship. that trend is sort of the opposition party winning in virginia, we see it over and over again with one exception, actually in 2013, barack obama the democrat was the president and actually a democrat, terry mccauliffe, remember he won nar low. ken cuccinelli was his opponent. he barely won. obviously republicans glen yuncan trying to present a more moderate image remember what happened in to 2013. joe biden himself hovers over this race. this is how we look at the virginia race as you mentioned kind of a prelude to the mid-terms. biden right now just under 43% his approval rating nationally, and in virginia which again he

education is a prifsh otal issue and a new ad against democrat terry mccauliffe. watch this. >> raising children. there are so many roles. cheerleader, teacher, the most important, protector. but terry mccauliffe spent years minimizing the role of parents. >> i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. >> dana: let's bring in fox news contributor bill bennett. education is a major issue in this virginia race taking place in a couple of weeks. that might not be the case for this year. this seems like -- i would love your expertise on this -- an issue that could carry into next year's mid-term elections, bill. >> i think so. education is a huge issue in virginia. glen youngkin is going on offense about it. a long time since we've seen republicans do that as you know. and i think this is a very good thing. he has a real shot. i think he is a very good man. but in some ways this is even bigger, you're right, it will carry forward. a couple ways it will carry forward. it is education but it is bigger than education. it is bigger than republi

look no further than what we saw in last week's virginia governor debate when mccauliffe said i don't stay in their children's education? isn't that coincidental that he is backed by teachers unions? this idea we're bringing in d.o.j. seems like it is the next step in the school boards and teachers unions effort to keep parents out of this conversation. >> harris: not to put too fine a point on it. interesting the timing of this. we reported on this yesterday. a black caucus group in mccauliffe's home state decided to back the republican in the race youngkin. some things are having power with voters right now. i wonder if this is one of them. thousands of people gathered outside of washington state capitol building to protest the state's vaccine mandate and were heard belting out the national anthem. the other issue uniting parents and others. watch.

a margin of era, and terry mccauliffe is not a sure thing. >> let's talk about the incredibly shrinkingica is back, a very successful g 7. they come back and they face a gridlock in congress. and according to david, foreign leaders are saying why can't he just lower the boom. >> this is not unique to president bide b. congress has be devilled just able every president, but again, the challenge for president biden is that in some way there's is not that many that he can unilaterally do. he is but he didn't like when they came in to lower the boom. there are issues that he didn't have to deal with during the campaign but something like a supply chain issue. a real challenge that he believes quite correctly that his president that's will rise and fall, this is deeply tied and this is something they feel. it's not even halloween and they're going online and they're looking for christmas and hanukkah presidents for their kids. no one wants to say santa was held up at the port of china and there was a mix up with going to long beach. this is something they take out, politically, on the presid

"the washington post" poll one point behind mccauliffe within the margin of error. five stops a day since the bus tour started a week ago. a lot of people were enthusiastic getting out here. if you want to to take a look. they're signing the bus and the campaign tried to liken itself to a grass roots effort. there's a lot of money in the race, the most expensive in virginia history. the w point is to get out and meet people. we have a harvest festival going on and something where people feel very in line with the campaign, that they're friends of it and generally the notion that the republican here is trying to push forth. the polls are in his side right now and at this stage in any kind of election, you expect curve balls to happen, but something that happened yesterday in charlottesville whale we were -- while we were there something the youngkin called disturbing, a stunt that is. there was a picture taken of five people carrying tiki torches, they were supposed to look like white supremacists from movement. and they accused them of being youngkin supporters. and

terry mccauliffe, youngkin who is trying to maneuver around the party. >> claire, one of the paid fors that they were pushing is more irs enforcement. that gets back to the old "we're going to cut fraud, waste, and abuse. does that pass the smell test? that this is credibly paid for? >> i do think that it is important to know that under the republican majorities and under president trump, there was a systematic dismantling of the irs. if you imagine having a debt and a business and the way you go about addressing that debt is to cut off the accounts receivable department and make sure no one is working there, there are legitimate issues that can be raised about what the irs needs to make sure that people are paying their fair share. most americaning do. the ones that avoid taxes do not and there is a reason that staffing the irs makes sense. will it pay for $2 trillion worth of spending? no. so there has to be some adjustment to the trump ax rates in some regard to get more money in the door if they're going to legitimately say they're paying for these programs. >> we're about to hear

allow terry mccauliffe to run on what he has. you have months and months and months to do something and you have not been able to pull it off. i think they would be wise to pick up frush and pass it now if they can. i would not be surprised if this package goes into next year easily. >> next year it won't be passed. it will never come together. another thing that is coming up in december is extending the child tax credit and you know that is one program with universal support. it has done more to attack child poverty than any other single program almost more than any other single program in decades. yet that has to be extepided and that is running out in december. all of these things are just about to hit them in the face. >> that's right and president biden has said he see it's as essential to beating child poverty. and you talk to ere day voters. one of the biggest thing that's are going on in this economy, especially according to the kept jobs report is that there is a child care crisis in america nap there is a feeling like t

parents were in charge of their kids' education during the whole pan -- pandemic you have terry mccauliffe and the -- these school board moms dils agree. they were -- it was fine for them to be in charge of their kids' education when the teachers were hiding in their homes and grocery clerks went to work. now that they're back in school they aren't supposed to have a say in their children's education. >> as you are laying all that out it seems obvious we're being targeted because parents don't agree with some of the things happening in the classroom. my question is how do you weaponize the f.b.i. against parents? the liberal media are creating a narrative that parents concerned about their kids' education are dangerous and racist. i want to dig deeper into this. let's watch. >> your conservative manufactured outrage or masks and history lessons took school board hostages like a bunch of screaming maniacs. >> is this people being upset about mask mandates or underlying disruptive forces, white nationalists, an arc consists in this country cussing mask mandates in a public health crisis to w

and politically, terry mccauliffe, they're saying they have to be done just a week ago. it is important for the race and the midterms. what the president is saying is that you're going to lose the house and potentially the senate if you don't back me. >> we're going to focus on what is in the bill. >> but senator, how do you get the infrastructure bill, the bipartisan bill today, before he lands in rome overnight. >> i mean that is up to the house of representatives. my belief is that we're going to get 50 votes for the bill back better bill. i can't speak for joe manchin and kristin sinema, and while we're working on common sense improvements to it, i think they're going to find 50 votes for the framework announced this morning. i can't speak to the commitments that the house of representatives needs. i think it is better to get the president a deal efore he lands in glasgow. >> what would you say to women in second and to your women senators, and your colleagues about the fact that as they put it, one 74-year-old man is stopping this package, this reconciliation from h

. >> mccauliff's administration actively pushed crt. >> social warrior. >> i want to see our curriculumampaign for glenn youngkin attacking terry mcauliffe's stance on education. this is the latest to weaponize something called critical race theory. critical race theory is an am academic concept usually taught in college. now one of the great american novels, a staple of high school english programs which recounts the horrors of slavery erupted in a flashpoint in virginia's race for governor. back with me now is valencia johnson, a member of virginia council on women. and riina shaw, founder of relax strategies and former republican strategist. valencia, this critical race theory is kind of -- it has become the new dog whistle except you can hear it, so it is not really a dog whistle. it is a racist thing that is meant to call other people racist. and now toni morrison is involved. >> it is mind boggling and i am shaking my head because i have flashbacks to my childhood in virginia. my field trips were jamestown, where my ancestors first set foot on this land. it is hypocrisy for people

terry mccauliffe is leading now.eir side as education takes center stage. we're live in washington with more. >> in virginia where early voting began a month ago election day has become a deadline than a destination. the race remains closer than many expected. democrat terry mccauliffe is vying to win back his former seat as governor and holds a slight lead over youngkin. democrat heavy weights are called in. jill biden and voting rights activist stacey abrams were there. >> how many voted heefr put your hands up? who hasn't voted? okay. okay. folks, listen to me carefully. those that have not voted make me a promise you'll vote this week. >> dana: turnout has been sluggish. suburban parents frustrated with covid-19 restrictions and curriculum problems have become far more active in local politics and seem only further inspired by the justice department's decision to intervene in school board parent dispute. now tomorrow night republican glen youngkin will make a major announcement saying he will highlight some of th

. >> reporter: terry mccauliff, the state's former democratic governor, and glenn youngkin, are lockedment in schools. >> my name is amy dodson. >> reporter: during the pandemic last year, dodson became an unlikely activist. attending school board meetings for the first time. arguing students should be in the classroom, not learning virtually. >> by myself, i felt very powerless. as a collective group, your voice is stronger and holds more power that we never had before as just an individual parent line up to speak. >> reporter: that's alarming some democrats, like michael, who has been attending school board meetings to provide a counterbalance. >> they're doing a good job of scaring up anger and emotion. when it comes down to walking in the voting booth, that there are enough of us who are able to look at the science, look at education with a level head, and look at this race with a level head. we don't need somebody as extreme as youngkin in the governor's mansion. >> reporter: as early voting is well underway, that view is being tested here in chesterfield county in central virgini

when you have terry mccauliffe saying that parents don't have a right to see what books kids are readingp call for parents. as somebody who runs a conservative group this is not organized. this is a spontaneous pushback from a lot of parents. their politics might be different from mine who believe they own their kids' education. >> harris: crystal. >> what we're seeing at these school board meetings are conservatives gone wild. they are mobbing school board members as driving into school board meetings. mobbing teachers bho they believe are teaching critical race theory which we know is just a conservative talking point and propaganda. what the d.o.j. is doing is simply investigating these threats to make sure that the school board members and teachers don't have serious dangers to their person or property and so it is appropriate in that we're seeing mobs showing up at school board meetings across the country, even right here in loudon county. >> harris: i want to slow you down. when i hear the name calling and the word terrorist was used by one specific school official group. however,

which inspired this mom to speak in the school board meeting in fairfax county, to which terry mccauliffeymbol of pedophilia and pornography. >> can i ask you, why do you draw a line from one to the other? because i have gone through critical race theory. i don't know that there is a direct line. why do you think that there is? >> just look at this idea that is in "not my idea." it literally says here, whiteness is a bad deal. it has a symbol of satan. and this is the contract that they say whiteness brings. children are getting this book. so there is a direct correlation from these ideas to these dangerous principles. and i fit into the intersectional world. i'm a muslim. i'm an immigrant. i'm a mom of color. i am a single mom. yet i do not -- all of these privileges in the new paradigm of the oppression matrix, we're all human beings. that's what we need to teach children. race is important, hairacial history is important. but now racism, bigotry, and separation, affinity circles, segregation. it is not okay, and it is not healthy for our kids. >> what do you say to that? >> what i say

i don't know if terry mccauliff feels that. i don't know if people in the midterms feel that.o course correct? >> well, i think that, you know, is there's a lot of rationals and explanation why progress is slow and coming on things like the infrastructure package or voting rights bill that the clip you just mentioned invoked. but none of them make sense in the public. none of them make sense to the voters that turned out in a massive wave election in 2020 to elect joe biden and a democratic senate. all these arguments about i have 58 senators supporting and two holdouts or it's the filibuster holding us back. they make sense on one level in the beltway but in the public, you have three way democratic control and if democrats don't deliver on the agenda they campaigned on, there is going to be a backlash i feel and some of the erosion and support that you're seeing is from democratic voters that are wondering why they don't have this infrastructure package passed yet. why aren't they willing to do what it takes to get the voting rights act passed so i think there is time becaus

. >> that's why mccauliffe is trying to make this about trump and a referendum on him, even though he's that's done well for democrats when they've been running against trump and the conspiracy theories. covid is very much a part of what's happening in virginia as well. add on biden's poor approval ratings, the fcts that people are still bothered by being in the middle of the pandemic and mcauliffe is facing this uphill battle. whether or not democrats show movement by auoctober 31st coul boost him. >> glen youngkin, the republican, has definitely not tried to portray himself as a trumpy republican. although he is certainly trying to unify the party behind him. he says the number one issue in virginia is education. he's been pushing issues about having to do with parental rights, having to do with mask mandates or how schools should be teaching issues like racism. take a listen to glen youngkin just today. >> they tell us what material is being used in the classroom or in the library. just tell us so that we can choose whether we want it in our kid's life or not. because parents have a

. >> mccauliff is talking about his race, but biden is facing this as well. >> it's true.can campaigns starting with the one that is right in front of us, the virginia's governor race, and it is certainly being planned for republican campaigns in swing districts and in toss-up states, all across the country, is using this culture clash, this culture war or as republicans call it, wokeness run amok, to their advantage because as much as there is a very real progressive wing that is pushing, pushing, pushing the democratic party to be more forward leaning on these issues, there is also a reality that there are people who are representing -- lawmakers who are representing less progressive districts and states. and those voters are hearing republicans saying, wait a minute, look at all of these things that their kids are being taught, which, true or not, that's what they're hearing. look at the way that society is changing. look at the fact that there is a superman comic now where the -- you know, the son of superman lois lane is bisexual. a lot of people are applauding that,

[ laughter ] according to new guidelines from the biden administration, unvaccinated americans will have to present a negative covid test from the previous day before entering the country, while vaccinated americans can present a negative test from three days before travel. and people from florida will have to travel around in one of these.

terry mccauliffe, heavily favord going into it, could go down in defeat. >>> also, the white house's patch this up? what diplomacy are we seeing there to mend this division between two ancient allies? >> well, as you said, and i think it can't be underscored, the french are feeling betrayed and blind sided. the white house is mending in different ways. biden and his allies acknowledge the situation at hand. we saw secretary of state tony blinken in paris. he met with his french counterpart and also the president, emmanuel macron. jake sullivan is heading to paris this week, too, trying to do damage control, talking to the french, and making amends in that way. also showing support for different things president macron wants to do, like strengthening europe's defense capabilities in the future. it's something blinken showed support for when they met. >> meeting for biden and macron scheduled in europe later this month. the president will be over there, his second overseas trip for g-20 in rome and then the climate meeting in scotland. also, president xi will not be there, taking a lit

here you have a candidate who has run before and former virginia governor, democrat terry mccauliffe.roup filed a complaint against jen psaki about this. >> there's a lot of history in virginia and again, we're going to do everything we can to help former governor mcauliffe. >> the group says that violates the hatch act which prevents authorities using their position for election results. and in virginia, education is a forefront issue. he had to walk back a statement saying that parents should not have a say in what parents teach. this fox poll shows parents in virginia saying 57% of them feel that parents should have a say in their children's education. and crt and others have overwhelmed school districts and yesterday in loudon county this happened. >> to the families and students involved, my heart aches for you, and i'm sorry that we failed to provide the safe, welcoming and affirming environment that we aspire to provide. >> the superintendent of schools there apologized for dismissing a father's pleas for answers after her daughter reported being sexualitily assaulted in a bath

you saw terry mccauliffe saying parents should have no role in what their kids teach.that parents have a role in education. they do get to hold their school board members accountable and what we're seeing out of the federal government is frightening and people should continue to stand up for their rights. >> dana: i can't imagine that some f.b.i. agents with all the things, crime going up across the country they want to look into parents who went to a school board meeting. we'll see how it goes. thank you for being on, ian. >> trace: one d.e.a. agent was killed. another agent and police officer wounded when a gunman opened fire on an amtrak train during a routine investigation for illegal contraband yesterday in tucson, arizona. let's get to the chief correspondent jonathan hunt live in the west coast news hub with more. good morning. >> good morning. this all began just before 8:00 a.m. local time yesterday with what should have been a routine d.e.a. inspection of this amtrak train that is stopped in tucson. take a look at this video. we believe this is part of the fi

critical race theory one and terry mccauliffe the democrat said this yesterday. >> it is not taught here how do you define it? >> doesn't matter it isn't taught in virginia so i won't spend my time. i won't spend my time because the school board and everyone else said it is not taught. it's racist. it is a dog whistle. >> bill: so the republican in this race is making a big deal out of it. youngkin thinks there is a real opportunity in the northern suburbs of virginia that have gone blue for the past 12 or 13 years, some of those parents and voters could come back his way and maybe pull off an upset. >> dana: watch voter intensity in an off year election, it just might put youngkin over the top. move on to this. china pressuring the u.s. on taiwan after the "wall street journal" reported american special ops have been secretly training taiwanese forces for at least a year. beijing is urging the u.s. to withdraw those troops. let's bring in dan hoffman. it was under wraps for a while. beijing not pleased. >> well, taiwan is an economically vibrant, independently functioning democracy and

i was at a rally for mccauliffe in virginia yesterday, and they booed every time trump came up.ried to kill in january because this guy sent them. if that doesn't make you quit them, nothing will. >> charlie, i didn't mean to pick on you. the idea that people like cassidy populate the most vibrant parts of the republican party, it's not true. >> well, you know, i keep thinking about, you and i are both old enough to remember when people thought maybe colin powell was the future of the republican party. instead, he was a very early ex-republican. for the republicans who are privately sharing their concerns, that's gotten way, way, way old. and, you know, i remember five years ago, warning republicans, if you go along with donald trump, you're going to own all of this. you're going to own every insult, slur, and dishonesty. and republicans said, yeah, we're okay with that. they've been saying it for five years, and they've lost their muscle memory that tells them how they can break away with this. now, apparently they're going to go into the midterms, into 2024, flying the trump b
