mr. mcauliffe. mr. mcauliffe: i'm so excited to be with everybody tonight. i was honored to be your 72nd governor. if you remember when i took office i inherited an economy that was in chaos. i got to work. i got out of bed every single day fighting for you. i worked in a bipartisan manner and guess what? we created 120,000 new jobs. personally income went up 14%. but now we have covid. we have got new challenges. so i've got 20 very serious plans of how i will lead us out out of this covid pandemic. i talk about raising the minimum wage. paid sick days. talk about health care. bringing those costs down making sure we drop the costs on prescription drugs. i did a billion dollar investment in education last time i was governor. i'm going to do two billion now to make sure our children get the skills they need to be successful. none of this works if we don't defeat covid. i'm running against a candidate who actually has been spreading anti-vacs rhetoric throughout the commonwealth of virginia. we canno

mr. mcauliffe will ask first. mr. liffe: i was in a cancer facility the other day, patients are on chemo, getting radiation, they are immuno compromised. you believe the nurse who was there treating that immuno compromised cancer patient should the required to be vaccinated, not a psa, a requirement? mr. youngkin: yeah. i think that nurse should fully understand getting a vaccination is the best way to protect her health and those around her. what has happened in our hospital system, i have spoken with heads of hospitals all over virginia, and they have fought the spread of covid with policies, procedures, with testing, not with mandates. and here we go, my opponent once a mandate. i respect your ability to make decisions because that's what leaders do. if you disagree with terry mcauliffe, like he set on tv, he is going to make your life difficult. he wants to make virginians' life difficult right now would we need to come together and work together through this pandemic in the last thing we need is a governor who is

mr. mcauliffe, 30 seconds. mr. mcauliffe: first of all this shows how cool glenn youngkin is. he doesn't understand what the laws were because he's never been involved here in helping virginia. but it was not. the parents had the right to veto bills. veto books, glenn. not to be knowledge about it. also take them off the shelves.

mr. mcauliffe your campaign website promises you implement the virginia department of education new model to protect transgender students and that is a policy that allows students to use the restroom and locker room that matches gender identity and requires school employees to address by their chosen pronoun but at the last debate you said it should be up to local school districts to create their policy. so which should it be statewide protection or local choice spent for the input on such an obvious issue but we will always issue guidance but i have said this before these children are going through very stressful situations. and when every child in virginia to get a quality education for the record billion dollars the color of your skin i believe you should get a great quality education and that is why for 2 billion-dollar per year investment rage raise about what every student have access to broadband and make sure those at risk for -year-olds a 41000 actually get a pk education i have a real education plan "washington post" and other papers ridiculed the economic plan and they have sai

mr. mcauliffe, you have set a goal that every child in virginia be vaccinated, but you would not mandate it. you would leave that to the school districts to decide. but virginia already requires students to have 11 different vaccinations at various ages to attend school. covid is a more dangerous health threat to them today than polio or other diseases. my question is, should the state add covid to that list? that is to require all students who are age-appropriate to get a covid shot too? >> first of all, i have been very out front for people getting vaccinations. i've called for employers to mandate it, everyone in a hospital, every individual who works in a long-term care facility or a nursing home. everybody who works in k-12. everybody who attends high red. i have been very strong on this from day one. glenn and i differ. he has had rhetoric out there. he told college students, if you don't want to take the vaccine, just fill out an exemption. i think that is life-threatening and disqualifying as governor. he does not believe in forcing people to understand what covid is going to do

mr. mcauliffe is trying to do it again. >>> coming up, guilty. singer r.y a federal jury. details including how much time r. kelly could serve. that's ahead. i would've called yesterday. but... i could've called yesterday. but... i should've called yesterday, but... would've, could've, should've. we hear that a lot. hi. i'm jonathan, an insurance professional and manager here at colonial penn life insurance company. sometimes, people put off calling about life insurance. before you know it, another year has passed. and when they do call, they say, "i wish i'd called sooner." call right now for free information on the $9.95 plan. are you between age 50 and 85? you can get whole life insurance with options starting at just $9.95 a month. do i have to answer health questions to get it? there are no health questions. you cannot be turned down for any health reason, past or present. how long does this policy last? our $9.95 plan is permanent protection. can my rate increase later? never. once you're insured, your rate is locked in for life. you can get whole li

mr. mcauliffe. >> in virginia and we are not going to allow. >> it terry, you just made folks in there ises you are going to say donald trump it was 10 and you just busted through it you are running against. [cheers and applause] >> bret: republican glenn youngkin virginia governor's race getting heated. it's also very close. if you look at the real clear politics average of polls, recent polls, mcauliffe has a slight lead but youngkin has closed the gap essentially tied. here in virginia, you can look at the polls and the president's job approval is now under water. virginia has traditionally been kind of purplish, more bluish, actually, in recent years. and one moment in the debate last night already a republican ad. >> you vetoed the bill that would have informed parents that they were there. >> yeah. that's the bill that i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. >> bret: that was a big moment. youngkin jumping on that. we're back with the panel. bill, your thoughts on this. there they

mr. mcauliffe said. it indicated the shadow that mr. the race which has been largely nationalized." louise on the republican line. good morning. you are breaking up on us a little bit. i am not sure if he is -- if it is your cell phone. you might have to call us back. try as -- please try again. i am so sorry. we are having trouble hearing you. we will hear from dan in woodbridge, virginia, on our next call. democrat line. go ahead. caller: good morning. i just have a couple of things. first, i am just so curious to know how the republicans are always complaining about the democrats and everything. where is their plan that they offer to do anything? i have yet to ever hear of them giving a plan to do anything, but they are always complaining about the democrats, for one. secondly, what happened to the talk about term limits for these governors, senators, and all of that, and supreme court judges that they were going to do. it is to the point now that our government can really actually do nothing and it is time to start getting these peo
