i know governor northam will work like the devil to finish the job. thank you.have another great friend. they've been around a long time and seldom do i get to campaign for someone who i have agreed with more on basically everything. we go back all the way to roots in syracuse, new york. and before that, i'm ashley talking about dorothy. [laughter] look, she has always been there for me and jill when we needed her most. she was an incredible first lady of virginia, and she will be again. she is the very best. [applause] dorothy, speaking of first lady, i'm jill's husband. jill wanted to be here tonight, but if you turn on the olympics can watch team usa, you will see jill biden standing there cheering with them. the japanese prime minister, who i invited as the first person to come to the white house as head of state, made it clear. he didn't want me. he wanted her to go. he is a man of incredible judgment. [laughter] look, folks. it's great to be with my friend and your once and future governor terry mcauliffe. [cheers and applause] think about this. [crowd cha

it goes without saying, how much i appreciate ralph northam over there, by the way.ause of the hard work of the american people, we put ourselves in a position to control the virus instead of it controlling us. here in virginia, covid-19 debts and hospitalizations are down 90% since january. 54% of your population is fully vaccinated. 82% of your seniors, both of which are above the national average. this did not happen by itself. it is due to the heroic vaccination programs, one of the greatest, most complex challenges in american history. it happens when we work together. the federal government, state, cities, the private sector, and all americans. it happens when you have governors like ralph, a key partner in coordinating fema and the national guard to move resources around the state to get shots in arms. it happens when you are honest with people. i know folks are watching the number of cases rising again and are wondering what it means for them. here is the truth: if you are fully vaccinated, your seyfert with a higher degree of direction. if you're not vaccina

the republican nominee is glenn youngken he downplayed northam's work on inclusiveness.ginia may be number one f political correctness but ranks among the worst states when it comes to things that determine the success for small business and workers and cost of living and cost of doing business virginia comes in 26th for cost of doing business and 32nd for cost of living but the battle lines are drawn in a state that you know is a big political bellwether every year fin find out how your elected officials did at topstates.cnbc.com. >> i love the fact, love, love, love the fact that your survey, the best states for business, is going to become now a talking point for both sides in this race it's going to be a really relevant point as both sides go forward from here, scott >> yeah. and we're very careful about that we try -- we really do try to keep the politics out. we don't know obviously going in if the top state is a state that has an election that year, so that's one of the reasons that we try to do this the right way. clearly they're going to talk about it and that's

i plan to go back to seeing patients and their families. >> governor northam, congratulations on beingline. more coverage throughout the day on cnbc. andrew >> scott, there it is. i didn't get it right. i just want you to know, i had no idea. but you did it once again. and you did it beautifully scott, appreciate it congratulations. we'll be watching all day for more from there. >>> meantime, when we return, some new cpi inflation data investors are going to be watching this one very closely >>> plus an interview with the ceos of chipotle and paypal. don't go anywhere.

of it is, with all these allegations against him he refuses to step aside, kind of like governor northamvirginia. they just dig their heels in and say i'm not going anywhere, too bad. what say you? >> we are allowed to do that because of a little thing we like to call liberal privilege. andrew cuomo laughed about the allegations against him. he doesn't seem to be bothered by it. and yet he's not hiding in a hole somewhere because he's protected. because new york doesn't have a recall option. so this man sits here on his thrown and he laughs at us all and rakes in millions of dollars. and there is nothing the people of new york can do about it. i would hope even if they can't recall their governor, i would hope they see the leadership of deblasio and cuomo and say maybe it's time to start voting for a republican. and at the very least not a democrat as bad as these clowns. judge jeanine: let's talk about another bozo. that is avenatti. the fact that this guy just got 30 months for fraud. in tears crying. he was a trump hating guy who was a criminal and faces two more indictments in califo

. >> governor ralph northam was being called to resign two years ago now he's winning points for inclusivenessy in the state. a lot of folks were skeptical about that at the time his message today when we talked to him this morning was that the ranking today proves that good business and inclusiveness are not traditionally exclusive. >> when you do the right thing for people, it's not only right for them but it's good for business a lot of good things are happening in virginia with equity we pride ourselves in embracing diversity and we are open for business >> north tam is not up for re-election this year. you can't be re-elected in virginia terry mccall live is trying to take some credit saying he created 200,000 wins. >> something virginia has is lean muscle mass arlington is named the fittest city for the fifth straight year 80% of people reported exercising the cities don't work up a sweat, indianapolis, wichita, las vegas and oklahoma city. >>> what happens when you dunk your goldfish in a lake? they become massive. 4 pound goldfish people caught these in burnsville in a tweet the city b

remember, it was a virginia democrats who stood by governor ralph northam when a yearbook photo showed robe or maybe he was the one in black face appeared wise there was one standard for democrats and a completely different standard for the rest of us. democrats in virginia try to alienate kids on the basis of race as they are completely hell-bent on indoctrinating students with the destructive critical race theory and denying them the dignity of a balanced and quality education. do you see what's going on here? what democrats accuse the rest of us doing is actually what they are doing themselves. ask yourself also, will any democrats in virginia or any other state ever find the courage to stand up to the lunacy of their party, even claiming that critical race theory is one big right-wing conspiracy. "this is totally made up by donald trump and glenn youngkin. this is who they are." but those comments are just one of many ways that he is hurting his own candidacy. take a look at his version of what he calls dancing. viewer discretion is advised. take a look. >> all right, everybody eve

. >> we've actually seen the mcauliffe/northam administration try to teach our children what to think, and is we know that our schools are supposed to teach our kids how to think. >> reporter: it's hard to believe, but this weeking the president marked six months in office, and he's made no secret that his biggest prairie has been pandemic ever since taking office. of course, there is still a lot of focus on the economy, and now we're getting an idea from gallup about where the president stands. his approval rating right now at 50%. that is down 6 points from where it was only a month ago with 45% disapproving and 5% having no opinion. gallup summed this up in their survey saying biden's approval rating is showing the first signs of meaningful decline. if the lower ratings persist, it could indicate his honeymoon period is over. that's gallup reacting to their own data. now, of course, the president is looking past just overall survey. the numbers show him doing very well among his base of democrats, decently well among independents but republicans still standing firm. arthel: mark me

i guess he kind of took a page from ralph north am -- ralph northam, the governor there, we still don'td power, has sicced his ghouls -- we were quoting at the party -- he sent janice dean who lost her in-laws to covid is nursing homes because of the governor's order, said to janice dean she should stick to the weather, and he also went after other grieving loved ones. so again, at every turn this cuomo has just royalty screwed the people of new york. and he's still there. not going anywhere. >> you're absolutely right. and they start getting into the political discussions and nuances and seminars about different treatment for different political parties. he's complaining about a leak, are you kidding me, after what we went through for years and years every time an investigator in the trump matter came out of a men's room, there were 20 cable segments, i mean. it's just beyond the pale on many levels, you know, to see him complaining that tomorrow he's interview was being leaked. again, the toxicity is another seminar, outside my straight legal world. but it's certainly in play to a gre

. >>> a few more signs of life returning to northam. we can report -- normal.hit the brakes during the pandemic. users can carpool with others again driving down the cost of trips which shot up drastically during covid. one los angeles-based firm estimates the cost of ride share trips is up 50% to 70% compared to pre-pandemic levels. that increase is largely due to a shortage of drivers and increased demand. uber and lyft say they're increasing incentives to get drivers back behind the wheel. >>> all right. there wasn't a dry eye in the house when these parents in china reunited with their son who was kidnapped more than two decades ago. take a look. so let me explain. this is a trio obviously hugging each other, sobbing when they finally came together. this happened on sunday. the son was just 2 years old when he was abducted in front of his family's home and sold to another family back in 1997. a dna match linked the father and son, leading to this heartwarming reunion. he spent 24 years traveling some 300,000 miles all across china by motorcycle. never givin

caller: thank you governor northam or keeping a safe through this pandemic. yes, i wear a mask. i had to wait 90 days for my vaccine, i went and got it. i thank you so much for keeping us safe, thank you so much. host: why do you plants with the mask back on when you go indoors? caller: the few things i like to say, i believe most people in our country have common sense. if you don't have common sense, you can't walk out the door without getting in trouble. i have a brand-new granddaughter. getting back to mask or no mask, the science is always changing. i believe the scientists are learning like anything else in this world. just because things have changed , that doesn't mean that science or the political aspect of this is trying to do something that we should not do. as far as religious concern, if that would be the case we wouldn't have cancer. host: you are for putting the mask back on area we do before the president trying to get more people vaccinated by mandating the airline requiring you to show proof of vaccination before you can travel or any other interstate travel? c

so the longbridge project, which i have been working with governor northam and senator kaine on, this kind of investment will make that happen. and as anybody who lives in northern virginia knows, i live, as somebody who lives in alexandria, traffic is the bane of our existence. there will be a host of improvements that we will get done if we pass this legislation. let me talk about one in particular. route 1 from alexandria through fairfax into prince william county. we know how clogged and congested it has been. we have been looking for additional funding literally for decades on route 1. if we pass this legislation, it will get done. let me move a little bit further west in our state, out towards the shenandoah valley in roanoke and southwest. for years, we have been talking about the danger on i-81. literally there have been prayer groups formed to pray for people who would travel on i-81 because there is so much truck traffic there that it has frankly impeded the safety of the traveling public. we have been talking about making improvements and expansions to 81 capacity competito
