. >> reporter: hey there, alex, yeah, governor ralph northam is on stage now. when barack obama left office, he said he was not going to comment on every news story sh he was not going to endorse every campaign so the fact that he is going to be here today speaking in richmond with terry mcauliffe is sort of his vice president would say, a bfd, it's a big deal here. that's something the voters are really hearing and understanding as well because what happens in the state and the implications of this vote is going to have implications beyond just the borders of the commonwealth. here's what we heard about the importance of barack obama speaking at this event from voters this morning. >> whenever i hear him speak, i get so inspired, right, and it's like he speaks to people's souls. he can see you. and he comes from humble beginnings, so i feel that's why he can relate to so many people, and so i'm hoping that obama can help ignite that spark, because i know that there are some people that are still on the fence, even when they align to democratic values and princ

it backed ralph northam during his 2017 run. colleges across the country adopting woke policies and educators caught in the middle. our next guest was so fed up, he quit his job as an assistant philosophy professor. he joined me now to explain. what was the final straw for you? >> the final straw was a long road but the final straw was when i couldn't get a meeting with the president of portland state university. i met with one of the deans. and i told the dean that according to the foundation for individual rights in education, portland state university in 2020 made one of the worst colleges for free speech in the top 10 list and the dean said to me it's a good thing to be on those lists. it was that instance that i realized that this is not a bug in the system, this is a feature, and i had to leave. todd: take a look at what's going on across the country. this is just a senatorring. university of michigan, 82 diversity officers, western washington university, black only housing, and columbia university, separate graduation cer

that it slips out at a debate because this is what they discussed with their friends or even the ralph northam dynamic with post birth abortion. these conversations that have shocked the conscience of the average american radicalizing parents as we see with the doj reaction to their involvement as school board meetings, the fact that parents are getting so uppity that theyat want to contl what their children learn, he was see what the doj is an example is doing in its reaction, is this the radicalization of parents i can take this country back and move us back into the traditional framework that has made us a country worth coming to? >> sure. i think when you realize there was a poll out today that 58% of people regard the federal government as a threat to their freedom. what you're beginning to move towards is a war -- not a physical war, but a cultural war between the bureaucracy, the academic world, and the news media and the rest of us and the truth is, there are more of us than there are of these big government socialist radicals who want to impose a very weird worldview who are apparentl

grandma and blackface, ralph northam, advocating for infanticide.tions on abortion. dagen brought up the eugenics issue that her aunt had to deal with. the founder of planned parenthood, margaret sanger, this is something i'm ashamed not well known until the most recent couple of years, was a white supremacist. she was a eugenicist. her goal in planned parenthood was to kill black babies. she has succeeded. 650 black babies the day are born in america and millions have been aborted over the past three decades. i think the left has lost the plot. i think more americans are thinking more deeply about abortion than we ever have before. and i think that safe, legal, and rare, it's very far in the past. we are a long way from that. >> harris: interesting perspective. rob, you throw such respect into the conversation. "i am a man. i don't usually weigh in." everyone's voice is important. >> emily: we are all human at all think your gender removes you from an equal place at the table in the conversation. what struck me was the levels of trauma that this po

virginia's already been doing very well under ralph northam. were saying virginia is a mess, we're fix it. they're almost running on these imaginary issues and trying to run over white suburban voters, get them angry enough and hopefully turn them out. >> they're getting help from right-wing media. this shows the increase of critical race theory mentions on fox from june 2020 to may of 2021, 600 times in the month of june that fox news has mentioned critical race theory. now you have tucker carlson pedaling this "docuseries" that implies january 6th was a false flag operation. to amanda's point, the republicans are no longer talking about issues and policy, they're race baiting, fear mongering, calling january 6th a false flag operation and it seems to be working for juicing up their base, sadly. >> look, on january 6th there's just no excuse. what carlson is doing is unforgivable and really just horrible. i want to say criminal but technically that's not true, although maybe it should be. on education i have to tell you, republicans do have mo

for instance in virginia governor ralph northam said schools could be involved. >> easiest and most equitable way to deliver the covid vaccine is a school, to have the health department come in and give the shots. so, our teams are working with school divisions and superintendents to do that wherever possible. >> of course, all of this depends on the fda authorizing the covid-19 vaccine for younger ages and the cdc recommending it. but in the meantime there are steps parents can take to prepare. you can call your pediatrician's office just to see if they plan to off terrify vaccine to ages 5 to 11 once it's available and if they don't plan to then at least you know now you have to make an appointment at either a pharmacy or local vaccine clinic instead. back to you. >>> thank you so much for that. joining me right now discuss is a doctor, a pediatrician and a medical director of the los angeles unified school district which is the nation's second largest school district. doctor, so good to see you. how is your school district preparing for a possible vaccine roll out? would it be like virgini

the attorney general is a guy called mark herring, you might remember him because he once called ralph northamesign over wearing back place, and it turned out he had also worn black face. he is also the guy who wants to take your guns away, taken money from michael bloomberg, promises to do everything he can to eliminate the right of law-abiding citizens. >> laws like universal background checks, ban on assault weapons, reinstate the one gun a month law, extreme risk law, we can do this on jul. the time for action is now. >> tucker: so get rid of the police, hike the murder rate, then prevent you from defending your family, that is the program. jason vie on rose is trying to stop that. thank you so much for coming on. give us your pitch, if you would. this race matters, we do not pay enough attention to attorneys general races, why are you preferable to that character? >> tucker, thank you for having me. if you want someone trained as a politician, mark herring is in your hand. if you want someone trained as a prosecutor, i am your candidate. the murder rate at a two decade high, and a lot of

on that day our governor ralph northam dispatched virginia state troopers and virginia guards members to go quell the insurrection at the capitol. glenn is running to be governor and cozying up to pro-insurrection forces. if something like this to happen again, would you want a governor to send the best or a governor to turn a blind eye and go without the assistance of virginians. if you preach the big lie, you have to own the consequences of the big lie. and he is saying the election lacked integrity, we need to do audits, et cetera. that is extremely dangerous. and i'm shocked that some virginians, thankfully a tiny minority, about you that some are giving oxygen to the big lie. >> this was a rally for younkin but he wasn't there. it shows a line he was trying to walk. he did call the pledge weird and wrong. is that enough? >> this is a pattern, saying different things to different people. he is repeating donald trump's big lie, but when he is called on it, he back pedals. governor mcauliffe can say the same thing to every audience. he doesn't have to straddle this bizarre lean, thi

for instance, in the state of virginia, governor ralph northam said this could be part of his state'sble way to deliver the covid vaccine is at school, to have the health department come in sand give the shots. our teams are working with school superintendents to do that wherever possible. >> you see school districts and superintendents are part of these conversations for rolling out the vaccine in virginia. it depends on in the cdc recommends it. there are things parents can do now to prepare for this potential rollout. for instance, if you have kids 5 to 11, you can call your pediatrician's office to confirm whether they plan to receive the vaccine and administer to the age group. if they don't plan to be part of the rollouts, you know now you will have to consider getting your kids registered at either a local pharmacy or local vaccine clinic. overall, john, the rollout plans are in place. we are waiting to hear from the fda and cdc on their decisions. . >> a lot of parents waiting for this moment. jacqueline howard, thank you very much. >> absolutely. >>> this morning, we have new

in the blue areas are the most denser areas ed gillespie lost to ralph northam 2020 on the other side you see donald trump lost by 10 points to joe biden. it's only been a few months since that election, nine months in all. how do you plan ton going to those highly populated areas blue areas and doing nothing either one of those republicans able to that's win. when is your message going to resonate in those areas. >> what we have seen in the most recent polling is it's not that we have caught up. we are actually moving past terry mcauliffe. that's because we are doing great in the traditional red areas. and we are doing really well in those blue cities. we, in fact, are seeing great support in loudoun county and fairfax county. we are seeing great support all through hampton roads and we are seeing great support it's been super. the biggest issue, the biggs issues is education. we're actually seeing parents stand up and saying hey, listen, i actually have a big say about my kids' education and terry mcauliffe wants to put government between parents and their children and virginia pare

got republican virginia governor bob mcdonald in 2009, after trump won in 2016, we got democrat ralph northam elected governor. in 20102017 -- it is uncanny. every single time since i have been alive, it has gone this way, and since we just got a newly elected democratic president last year, if virginia holds to this long established pattern, then the republicans are, you know, cast by the fate as the likely victors in this year's virginia's governor's race. that is, you know, if you follow the odds. if you follow the history here, history would say that the republicans have an edge. that said, this year the republicans have picked a trump guy as their candidate. they didn't have to, but they did. they picked a trump-endorsed candidate right after trump just lost virginia by more than 10 points. this weekend, "the washington post" editorial board, obviously their home readership includes a lot of virginia, "the post" stripped the proverbial hide off of youngkin, oh, my did, did they not hold back. quote, next month's elections in virginia -- excuse me. next week's elections in virginia coinci

the problem is in the previous run, as well as current democratic governor ralph northam. youngkin campaign clapped back with 40 year career politician terry mcauliffe knows he's losing which is why he had his team are caught looking to diminish any group that dares question his authority or disagrees with him. he's not a leader. he was never fit to be the governor in the first place. what's your thought, richard? >> if you look at terry mcauliffe's record as governor of virginia, virginia was one of the best states to open a business and raise a family when he was the governor so that's the mantle he's running on. >> harris: why doesn't he have the black caucus support. >> because the black community like every other voting bloc is not a monolith. you could lose african-american supporters. it doesn't mean you're going to lose the race. >> harris: interesting to hear you say that. you and i have these conversations all the time. we get it. we know and then candidate joe joe biden says if you don't vote for him, you're not black that that's ridiculous. there are many commu

ralph northam, the current democratic governor, won this county by 19 points and then joe biden lastit by 25. republicans believe that what's going on in washington means that they're going to be able to win back some of these suburban voters and we're already seeing indications that independent voters may be leaning toward youngkin. so a very dynamic situation that's going to continue to play out over the next three days, guys. >> yeah, and then chris, there might be some people who don't live in virginia and say why should i pay attention to this? but both parties are kind of using this as a bell weather for the midterms. >> there's no doubt. the question is just how much of a preview will it be, and pundits may disagree about that but there's no doubt about the fact that this will be parsed closely for an early glimpse on the mood of the elakt rat. for democrats, are they exhausted without donald trump as a daily target. are they going to turn out in the kinds of numbers we saw in the last election. for republicans, one of the things we've seen that's been key to youngkin closing

and continue by ralph northam. to continue to protect medicaid expansion with grand young -- to protect the lgbtq community, which glenn youngkin has said he rejects gay marriage. he's willing to reach protects families ensuring they have access to a vaccine, and he's willing to protect democracy, by making sure that every virginian who wants to vote can cast a ballot. instead of questioning legitimacy of the election. let's be very clear, terry mcauliffe believes in democracy, he stood up for voting rights in for the expansion of voting. what he rejects is voter fraud. this notion that people who are not allowed to vote were doing so. he wants every person who is eligible to be able to cast a ballot, and so what i would do if i were in washington d.c., is show america who democrats are. we should vote for the build back better plan. we should vote for infrastructure. because we believe in doing right by our people. that is what folks want to. see a lot of the despair and despondency in frustration we're hearing, i

. >> virginia governor ralph northam was campaign and have representatives barbara lee and jim clyburnfe. griff: rich edison live in virginia beach, rich, thank you. anita. anita: turning to how republican candidate glen counting kin is spending his last weekend before election day. alexandria hoff if i understand herself in the middle of it all from fredericksburg, excuse me, virginia. hi, alex. alex: it's tough to keep up with all of the stops and today glen saying his campaign is traveling 95 and his opponent 45 miles an hour. that can be literal in some sense, he's starting third of 5 events today and all the miles putting on the bus may be paying off. likely voters show republican glenn youngkin leading democratic opponent terry mcauliffe by 8 points. 2% still undecided. that's a major movement from two weeks ago. and the latest washington postpoll puts youngkin one point behind mcauliffe but that's still well enough within margin of error. >> we are talking about the issues that are most important to virginians. lower taxes, the best jobs, the best schools, safe communities and t

you where the candidates are going today, this is the result from four years ago in 2017 when ralph northam beat ed gillespie. small here, all exandria county. very interestingly he will pop here to norfolk in the southeastern tide water region. a lot of democrat votes. he will appear with the vice president kamala harris. for youngkin, for his part, we saw him the last two days down here in deep red virginia. he will win that part of the state but by how many is what he is trying to do by driving up the vote. today will be in charlottesville, this county here and then pop over to this county. you see the republican advantage here. green county later today, 2-1 for gillespie four years ago. youngkin has had at least five events, sometimes six events a day. he is really working it now in the state of virginia and that's where we stand as of now. complete coverage tuesday night of the governor's race. i joint bret and martha. analysis through prime time here on the fox news channel. we shall see then, julie, how this all turns out. getting a lot of attention appropriately so. virginia has bee

2017, you can feel that antitrump, this is going to send a message for donald trump to vote for ralph northamo get things done. >> we have this back and forth, manchin got the signed documents and he told the majority leader he was at 1.5 and he was very, very explicit of what he would vote for or what he would not vote for. chuck signed it and a couple of months later, here we are. manchin is the the state that trump won by 39 points. he may get to 1.75. maybe if you extend it out, he may get to two. that's it. democrats, they're going to have to figure out, do they want $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill or maybe 1.75, reconciliation bill? >> you add that with the $5.4 trillion last year. a lot of money. and yet somehow democrats have figured out how a way to frame that massive outlays. >> it was for one year of this ten-year number. it's mostly completely different number. it's 300 or $400 billion a year will come out of these two bills and mostly funded. it's not comparable to $5 trillion unfunded in one year. it's a fraction of it. manchin focusing on the upticks of the fact that the demo

democratic governor ralph northam did it. when all of these insurrection ist holding for youngkin. to try to stop it? this is a grave issue that virginia yans are worried about it now. >> they have that symbol held up and people give the pledge of allegiance to it is repulsive. let me ask you about the race. we take a little step back from this specific issue and ask you why it's so close. we had governor mcauliffe on "morning joe," he's a relatively popular figure. why does youngkin have wild views on things and dangerous views as we talk about elections. why is it so close? >> willie, i know this pretty well because i was governor from 2006 to 2010, i was in an extremely close race until the end. presidential years, we had huge turn out and we had a governor's race next year, and turnout tends to drop in the 40s. it creates challenges for democrats because we usually want bigger turnout. i happen to think a saving grace this year is this. this will be the first governor's race where virginians are willing to vote for 45 days. that's never apart of any governor's race at all. terr
