mr. youngkin knows, that u.s. elections, including last year's presidential contest, have largely been free of any significant farther cheating. and to suggest otherwise is flat out dishonesty. nonetheless, for months, as he sought the gubernatorial nomination, and while mr. trump promoted those lies and refused to concede the results of the election, mr. youngkin refused to acknowledge that president biden was fairly elected. or the allegations that the 2020 election was stolen, were baseless allegations. to the contrary, during those months, mr. youngkin's number one policy proposal, and the only one for which he supplied any detail, was to established a state commission, on election integrity, and idea that wanes at the prevalent and bases idea that elections are fraudulent. he dodged a question about whether he had been in congress, he would have certified mr. biden's election, unsolicited he raised collections about virginia's voting machines and if they can be, trusted insisted they should be audited. which

mr. youngkin on say medicaid expansion without arguing that his stance is disqualifying, but at a moment when democracy itself is under assault, glenn youngkin chose to dignify a fundamental fiction that is subverting our system rather than stand up squarely for the truth. in so doing, he proved himself unfit for office. end. end of the editorial. that's "the washington post" this weekend, calmly, but completely eviscerating the republican who is running for governor next week in virginia. it's one thing for the paper to say, like, we prefer this one candidate over the other. it's another thing to say, yeah, one of these two guys is unfit for office. there was a test of character in this race. he has failed it. as we head toward that very important governor's race next week, again, that history doesn't favor the democrats here. the polls show it's very tight. that said, they're running this trumpy guy, trump just lost virginia by ten points, it's going to be a very very close contest if the polls are right. it's going to be fascinating to watch. it's obviously really consequential. this i

mr. youngkin, your 90 second opening statement. mr. youngkin: great, thank you. my fellow virginians, tonight i ask you to join me. . >> i ask you to join me to hire me to go work for you we can fix this on day number one i will cut taxes and eliminate the grocery tax saving virginians all in $1500 in your number one. we will reestablish excellence in schools investing in teachers and facilities and charter schools fully fund police and reinvigorate the job machine creating 4000 jobs. my opponent tonight will talk about me and my plan and his record and extreme views that is what 40 or politicians do and at the last debate he lied to you, the voters once about every other minute trying to hide his views on getting rid of right to work defunding police selling out to the teachers unions the so-called plan will cost virginians $16,000,000,000.5400 of the tax increase the recycled failed policies my fellow virginians i will share the vision for lower taxes for the best jobs and the schools in the safest community and a asking for your vote tonight. >> i am so excite

mr. youngkin for this show. that remains unanswered. mr. ou on our show. >>> there is a big spending bill they're trying to hammer out. >> no one said passing legislation like this would be easy. but we are on track to get things done. >> a senator on paid family leave and vouchers for medicare and medicaid expansion. democrats are also talking about a new tax on billionaires to pay for it all. i'm talking to congresswoman ilhan omar. thank you for being back on the show. >> thank you for having me. >> tell us, is our understanding of the major sticking points the understanding you have as well? does it come down to paid family leave and the vouchers for medicare and medicaid expansion? >> no, i think there is still a lot more that's being discussed. we have to make sure that there is a deal that's being made that will get the blessing of those two senators in the senate, and then also have the blessing of the progressive caucus, because we can't afford to lose any members on this. >> so can you get specific, then? you say there is a lot mor

mr. youngkin is surging and that is why mr. mcauliffe is flail ling.insley: well, because we covered some times loudoun county, fairfax, virginia. right next door to loudoun county. parents are upset about what's being taught in the schools. the schools originally said we are not teaching crt. now, according to the daily caller, this is the headline. loudoun county forces parents to sign nda file form to view crt style curriculum. they can only be given in information in pinner. they have to sign this form first. parents are not allowed to download or broadcast or take a picture in any manner whatsoever. they don't want you to know what they're teaching your students. brian: wait a second, this isn't a trumped up culture war? this is actually the curriculum which bypasses democrat and republican. it bypasses race and religion and ethnic background? so what is it about this curriculum that they want parents to keep their mouths shut if they, in fact, choose to see it? glenn youngkin weighed in on what's going on with schools as he knows change if he get

mr. youngkin in virginia. is taking advantage of what normally happens after party sweeps control of congress, which is some headwinds. that's normal. trying to capture the frustration and the passion of trump supporters to then turn that back around off of an election where we did see a consistent effort from republicans for not just across georgia but across much of the south and, of course, now coming to a crescendo with voter restrictions being put in place in states across the entire country systematically over concerns of voter fraud that did not happen. it's a great deflection by mr. youngkin to try to put this back on governor mcauliffe, but the bottom line here is, i think mia is right. this will be decided by the circumstances in the state and, jake, i have to say. i hope folks are understanding the cynical view that i think the youngkin campaign is running. by running against mask mandates in schools, that parents don't necessarily love but keeping a delta variant rampant throughout communities that

mr. youngkin's critics, his culture warrior persona is disingenuous. as long as mr. gnaling what they understand he cannot say out loud, running on the issue of election integrity, for instance, rather than wholeheartedly accepting mr. trump's lies about election fraud in 2020, many see him providing a template how to delicately embrace trumpism. i have a few questions. one, do you think that voters are going to see through that? and two, when it comes to young voters specifically, do you think that they will be mobilized by the other side of these pretend culture wars? >> you know, young voters are so critical in this virginia race. you know, in 2017, 69% of young people voted for the democratic gubernatorial candidate with a record-breaking turnout of young voters in virginia. young voters show up on election day. we're contacting 350,000 young voters this week alone in the state of virginia because i do think young voters see through this. young voters see a republican candidate, youngkin, that is anti-science, anti-gay, anti-woman, and against the working class. o

mr. youngkin. mr. the former president. >> glen youngkin is a great gentleman, really successful. he loves the state. we've got to get him in. you have a chance to get one of the most successful business people in the country and he did it in a quiet professional way. >> do you worry that glen youngkin is going manage to thread that needle, keep the trump supporters without hugging trump? >> time will tell, but i do think, you know, donald trump ought to come in, if he wants to come into virginia and claim glen youngkin as one of his acolytes. he ought to do this. if he wants to make it about himself and donald trump's legacy come to virginia. >> bait. we call that bait. look, we're in a different world in the sense -- >> was it that hobbs? >> i'm sorry, it was that obvious. that's how politics works. we're in a new world that in a sense in your prior elections in virginia you did not have early voting like we have now. they have left in place early voting put in place during the pandemic, so it's hard

mr. youngkin?st of all, i am happy to see a fox poll just came out had me up six and the president biden plus one. i want to thank joe biden, he gave us $4.3 billion and vaccinations. it's all for washington. i am frustrated. we had an infrastructure bill past the senate with 69 votes. billions for bridges. they have got all of them. all of them have got to get together. when i was governor, i had an extreme republican legislatures. i got 74% of my bills passed. why? i brought everybody in the room, i lock that door, i am tired of doing little chats. we need infrastructures. do your job and get money out to us and help us. this is everybody in washington. so you know and i love joe biden, i have been friends with him for 40 years. he's been great to the commonwealth of virginia. this is about virginia and our future and i have a plan to build this economy, lead us out of this covid crisis. i will put the biggest investment in education, i am excited. i got more energy today than i had when i am bor

mr. youngkin's closing message. with only a week to go, he released an ad featuring a fairfax county resident who waged a battle in schools beginning in 2013, after her son said it gave him nightmares while reading for an advanced placement literature class. this is mcauliffe's response then as the final feud plays in 2021, the united states of america. mcauliffe responded like this, glenn youngkin has doubled down on the same culture wars that have fueled his campaign from the beginning. his message of book banning and silencing esteemed black authors is a racist dog whistle. mainly his top endorser and surrogate, donald trump. cynical, depressing, appalling, but to claire's point, we all have to watch and see if this is what sells on the right. >> well, in the list of things that "the washington post" outlined in their editorial, i would add to that race baiting. as you can see in these closing ads. youngkin spent the time advertising on television and i know because i live in the washington region. i see the ads.

mr. youngkin. as for the mccullough campaign, they deny what happened had anything to do with them.hat happened today in charlottesville is disgusting and distasteful and the mccullough campaign condemns it. in the strongest terms. those involved should immediately apologize. still, the fact remains, shannon, while the campaign says it condemns what happened, they seemed contented, at least for a while today, to spread the rumor, if you will, foment the fraud throughout the day on social media. i think that has a lot of people asking very serious questions about whether or not they knew anything about this. >> we've heard from both campaigns and we've heard from the lincoln project and this whole thing unraveled rather quickly. kevin, thank you very much. you have bravely agreed to one of my taste tests tonight, so it's coming up shortly. adam kinzinger announcing he will not run for reelection next year. his district is set to be altered due to democratic control of gerrymandering, considered 1 of 10 republicans who did vote to impeach president trump earlier this year. another one

mr. youngkin did play footsy with the big lie folks talking about the number one priority for him was electionion the way they have in texas, the way mr. trump wants to do so across the state. and now he's talking about banning tony morrison's books? >> he's not in favor of banning it p it. >> he's running an ad that did favor -- >> that was glen youngkin's ad that he paid for with the money he's earned -- >> as much as you'd love to make this about donald trump, donald trump is not on the ballot. youngkin is on the ballot. he's not talking about donald trump. >> why? >> democrats are. >> he's out there talking about what people of virginia like myself are concerned about. jobs, pocketbook issue ooze. >> he's talking about -- >> he's race baiting on a nobel prize-winning novelist. >> aisha, before 2020 in virginia, early voting lasted only seven days and you needed an excuse. you were going to be out of the commonwealth, but now early vote in virginia is 45 days long. there's no requirement for an excuse. anyone can vote by mail early. how does that change the calculus for republicans who don'

mr. youngkin who is talking about divisiveness and election integrity and putting counts and recounting anditing the machines. we're looking towards the future. >> let me move on to another topic. quentin, i want to get your thoughts on another big story and more drama for the democrats as joe manchin offered to leave the party and serve as an independent. still caucus with the democrats, albie. and kyrsten sinema lost five aids because they say he was balking progress. how should the democrats be handling the situation? >> this is a really difficult one for democrats because they're dealing with what republicans have dealt with for a while which was the base energized or wanting action in their direction, and attempting to keep everything under control. ultimately the way they'll resolve this is through some form of compromise. it's messy, going to take place behind closed doors and both sides are going to have to give some. that's the way the legislative process works. that's ultimately how this is going to resolve itself, or somebody's going to leave the party and that would be really de

mr. youngkin, who's a businessman who's running for his first time in public office. them directly together. >> terry is running against an acolyte of donald trump. terry's opponent doesn't like to talk about how very much now, but to win the republican nomination he embraced donald trump. he started his campaign by saying that the number one issue in the race was his call -- he called for election integrity. this guy started he said he's calling for election integrity. now, why did he do that? because he wanted to hear donald trump? it was the price he'd have to pay for the nomination. and he paid it. >> reporter: so that is a flavor of what president biden was saying here tonight, one week before virginia voters choose their next governor. but president biden's popularity is also on the line. he came here empty-handed, still with no economic agenda. and that is complicating this race for democrats. for weeks terry mcauliffe has been sounding the alarm about washington gridlock. >> i'm tired of people up in congress sitting around doing chitty chat. let's pass these

mr. youngkin may want to put out a little statement saying well, that was weird and wrong.elf in a ball and wait for their invisible god to hit him. because he can -- even without twitter, if trump were to come out and be like f youngkin, he would fan nick because he needs those voters, right? he needs the freak vote. he needs the religion vote. and he thinks he can also somehow get the regular moderate normal people vote. so where does he go from here? can he withstand that that was weird and wrong, or is he eventually going to have to take the knee? >> oh, come on, joy. we've seen this play over and over again. he is going to take the knee, just like lindsey graham did, just like marco rubio did, just like ted cruz has done, just like every single person who is a part of the republican party establishment now. and let's be clear, this is the republican party establishment now, the steve bannons, the donald trumps, the josh hawleys. all of these right wing racist aauthoritarian wanna-be's. and glenn youngkin is a part of them. if you want to put out a real statement that a

mr. trump endorsed youngkin but has not campaigned with him. mcauliffe is trying to link youngkin to the former president and it's working on some early voters. >> why did you vote for terry mcauliffe? >> because i'm supporting the democrats this year. i didn't even look at the republican candidate because of the last four years honestly. >> reporter: but youngkin has gained ground by running attack ads highlighting this controversial mcauliffe comment, which mcauliffe insists was taken out of context. >> i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. >> reporter: a strategy that could be resonating in the all-important suburbs, which mr. trump lost in 2020. >> i'm going to vote for youngkin i think, like, you know, with these school board meetings and everything like that, i just like -- everything's in chaos. >> reporter: and tonight there are still voters who are undecided, including democrat christina davis. do you know who you're going to vote for for virginia governor? >> i have no idea. i'm still up and down and

mr. youngkin, who you can see right there, screen right. they are pretty close.art from each other. and we had the lieutenant governor on the republican side with us a little while ago. i said it looks like the polls are really tight. she said absolutely. and, in fact, the republicans polls show that they are leading right now. ainsley: terry mcauliffe has said some crazy things. he has the name recognition. he has been in politics in that state for so long. he said some crazy things about parents' involvement. we have seen what's happening in loudoun county and fairfax county and all these parents are concerned about vaccination and masks and crt and what's being taught in the classroom. we have gone down there to have conversations with the parent. if you don't remember what terry mcauliffe said. this is what made parents so mad. >> i don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. >> i'm not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions. >> what do you think in control of. >> have you been

mr. youngkin is running against critical race theory which isn't taught in virginia but it is doing wellnder if you are watching these gubernatorial contests next week and gleaning any lessons of how the republicans might run against you? >> well, i have got somewhere between 12 and 15 republicans running against me here in pennsylvania. they are all cut from the same cloth. they are peddling the big lie. they are all competing for trump's blessings. i don't need to look to washington, d.c. or virginia or any other state to know that there are stark contrasts here in pennsylvania between those who peddle the big lie on the other side and the work i have done to defend our democracy and the work i am going to do to grow our economy and make sure that every child gets a quality education, to deal with the systemic inequities that exist in our criminal justice system and in our marketplace. these are the kinds of things that i am going to work on. there are clear contrasts here in pennsylvania. and there are many lessons to be drawn right here in the commonwealth. >> pennsylvania attorney g

mr. youngkin who is on with sean hannity last night, he said we are not only getting democrats walking acrosswe are getting double digits of independents. and that is how you win. here he is last night with sean. listen. >> this race is becoming a national race. virginians are voting for the nation. with us winning independence by double digits and democrats walking across the aisle and voting for us, this isn't going to be close, sean. virginians are making a big statement. we're making a statement that there is new day ahead of us. low taxes, best schools, best jobs. safe communities and a government that works for us isn't telling us what to do all the time. these are universal values and virginians are ready to step forward and make this race not even close. steve: to your point earlier about barack obama campaigning last week and kamala harris this week and joe biden as well, they brought in all these all-stars. keep in mind, when you vote for governor, you are voting for local issues and by bringing in national figures you nationalize the race. you don't want to do that you bring in joe

mr. youngkin, is that by design, that it actually is a plus for the republicans getting trump not involvedcampaigning here? thank you. guest: i think you could say that the republican campaign in the general election did not want any close association with trump, though they got some anyway. unsolicited endorsements on days they didn't know they were going to be endorsed by donald trump and has done it repeatedly. i've lost count, five or six. but he hasn't appeared in virginia, and youngkin certainly hasn't appeared next to him. when youngkin was running for the nomination, he was a trump guy or he projected himself that way, saying that donald trump was the reason why he got involved in the election, the reason he jumped into the governorship and he is proud that president trump endorsed him. a lot of that was dropped right after he got the nomination. that's practical politics. if you are running for governor in a state that rejected donald trump by 10 points, you are not likely to want to be photographed with him and you won't see youngkin -- i don't think -- even at that telerally tom

mr. chairman, you have said donald trump more than you have said glenn youngkin, and glenn youngkin morerry mcauliffe. he says the problem for virginia voters, the frustration for democrats is what's happening in washington, and the infighting and the stall of the two major bills, the infrastructure bill and the social safety net bill. how much is what's happening in washington impacting, deflating potentially the votes that you need to get out to get terry mcauliffe back into the governor's office? >> well, i can tell you, at the end of the day, we're going to get the votes out to get terry mcauliffe and mark herring and then the democrats in the legislature re-elected. i know that we're going to be able to do that. and listen, i know, as my days working as the florida in the whip's office, the legislating process, the sausage-making process on capitol hill ain't always pretty. sometimes it's convoluted. sometimes it's a little difficult and hard. but at the end of the day, we're going to get a bill passed that delivers for the american people and delivers for the folks in virginia. >>

youngkin have served so far are himself. >> why does terry mcauliffe need barack obama, joe biden, mrs. biden? why does he need all of these high-flying surrogates, folks like yourself, out there campaigning on his behalf if it's such an open and shut case, as you're saying? >> i think he's preying on fears. and we know that fears are a much, much bigger motivator than the hopes and beliefs in prosperity. his slogans about, you know, critical race theory, which is there is no substance to it. critical race theory is not being taught in school. it's about mask mandates and that undermining the validity of the impact of covid on the commonwealth of virginia. on law enforcement where, again, he has no executive experience and is not prepared to govern the way terry mcauliffe is. but he's still preying on -- the typical slogans we heard out of president trump and other acolytes and that's what he's preying on. >> do you think if youngkin wins this race that this starts to pave the way, starts to clear the path for donald trump to run for another term in office? what worries you about that? >> abso

mr. sore loser. donald trump will lose more races than adam kinzinger ever will, because even if he runs in 2022, and glenn youngkinfriend, too, and i think you'll see where people can stay on issues of the state. republicans don't need to bow and scrape to donald trump. they can speak directly to people. glenn doesn't need him to bring in surrogates. what you're seeing with glenn is someone who is also his own man. >> he's also really walking the line, though. he's not saying, come campaign with me, trump, but he's not condemning some things the former president said. he is towing that line, and i wonder if that coupled with kinzinger is telling you, in many respects, trump is winning this battle for the party. >> look, it's disappointing when you see people like marjorie greene there, so a couple groups that would like to see her go. i don't think you'll see herschel walker or some of these nuts trump endorsed ever get into office. while i'd like to see republicans get elected, i would like to see the right kind of republicans who are focusing on issues and are people of personal character and want to focus on th

youngkin hasn't brought in any big players for his campaign. >> he is doing it himself. wall street board said if mccauliffe wins november 2 democrats will run against mr. trump. if he loses or wins by a whisker it will be a warning to democrats will say their left leaning ways. everybody is paying a lot of attention. >> bill: if it turns out to be a close election or youngkin wins it will change the balance of political power in america and the way we look at it for the next year. >> dana: more of this coming up later this hour with the republican candidate for virginia governor glenn youngkin. >> bill: a school board meeting in loudon county virginia turning heated last night and saying officials ignored a string of sexual assaults. >> the girl's dad is using profanity. this board and this school system put children last. the bar can't be any lower. >> how dare you. our out rage is very real. >> prompting students to stage a mass walk-out after a judge found a suspect guilty of assaulting a 15-year-old girl in a bathroom. he was 14. it took place in may. the same student has been accused of a second assault this past month. >> dana: the house judicia
