tell me what else you think america should know about the unions and randi weingarten in particular. ence was years ago at abc i did an hour documentary called stupid in america that surprised everyone by getting high ratings. and the union was upset enough that randy assembled hundreds of teachers out my office. i look out the window and there they are chanting. they have pictures of me pasted to animals. i surprised them by coming out because i was proud of the documentary i did in which i said randi, union monopolies don't serve customers. we are not a union monopoly and so forth and so on. so, they screamed at me for a while. and then they started to break into a chant of teach, john, teach. you don't know what it's like to teach, how hard it is. so i said okay. i will try. i will teach for a week. let me do that? and they showed their true colors because she then marched me off to one of their schools where they had endless meetings about how i couldn't teach because i'm not certified. >> rachel: right. >> but the main point is they are a monopoly. everything good we have includi

that was randi weingarten. again, they're not learning. they're going further to the left on the very issues that have helped, it looks like, sink terry mcauliffe and bring the democrats to the edge. >> when i saw last night that randy weingarten was campaigning for terry mcauliffe on the night before the election, i actually thought mcauliffe was trying to throw the race somehow because there's no way anyone in their right mind would have randy weingarten campaigning for them on the night before the election. i mean, she is so divisive, i know plenty of democrats that cannot stand her. they kept kids out of school for a year when they didn't have to. and he brings her out on the campaign trail the night before? what were they thinking? i am convinced that he tried to throw this thing. >> laura: asra, you were at the town hall we did, i don't know, when was that? i don't even remember, it's all a blur. but it was back in march. and i think, just so people understand how far ahead of this you were and the parents behind you, on school closu

yes, randi weingarten, a repulsive teachers union hack from new york who has precisely no interest inection to the voters of virginia. so what is the message with that? the message is really clear. we don't care about you at all. you play no role in this. this is an inside game. and of course they mean it. they really feel that way. they think it is how they win. through coalitions. you are not part of it. you see this in everything they do. here is a senile president and a vp no one likes. deal with it, america. in the case of virginia, just six weeks ago, a low iq "washington post" columnist called jennifer rubin assured us that an endorsement from some has been functionary in dan quayle's office from the 1980s was going to make all the difference for terry mcauliffe. "the bill kristol endorsement will be big," rubin announced on twitter. "trust me." it is hard to believe that is real. but it is entirely real. and it is exactly why they lost last night. glenn youngkin will join us in just a moment here on the show, but first we want to go as we always do and for good reason to brit

randi weingarten spoke ahead of him at the event.olling ahead of this race showed education has become a major issue among virginia voters. and mcauliffe losing significant ground on that issue. another issue former president donald trump, at least for the mcauliffe campaign who has tried to tie his republican opponent to trump at nearly every stop. >> glenn youngkin is closing his event with donald trump here in virginia where we are going to put an end to donald trump's future plans right here in virginia. i have beaten trump twice in virginia. tomorrow we go 3-0. >> now on many levels this race has had a national tone to it of course, those who have been campaigning for terry mcauliffe in all of this, he has had the president, the vice president, tim kaine, the senator, a number of folks in congress, especially the majority whip jim clyburn for south carolina. he has been out as well. we talked to a clyburn aide about his role in this. he said he was more than happy to jump on because for him it was about turning out the african-a

that's why he's got randi weingarten out there. he promised to give the teachers more money. that's the democrat way. at the end of the way, if youngkin wins, it's about the fact that people are beyond party, beyond politics. it's about american coming together and hopefully it will be a model for going forward. >> when joe biden popped off at the mouth in glasgow guaranteeing victory, seems to be based on what? you think he knows something or you think he realizes that can blow up in his face? >> he knows he won the state by ten points. you can determine you know which party the person declares when he votes. we learned there was a huge turnout in richmond, charlottesville and northern virginia. the data shows those are places where democrats fare well. the polls han been tight. a big poll that fox news shows that youngkin had gained points there in the end. but mcauliffe had held an early lead before that. so we'll have to wait and see. the third thing, i was surprised by glenn youngkin's closing. i thought his close would be more we're going to take the commonwealth to a n

randi weingarten was before him the day before election, why would you do that? the reason was because democrats and a lot of places historically relied on teachers unions before to get the power but the problem is in the current situation democrats are in a lose lose situation, a catch-22. if the, for parental rights, teachers unions, against them if they are against parental rights and parents will come after them now so they need to really decide how they are going to deal with this going forward and the current way, it seems like a lot of democrats haven't learned from what happened last night. kennedy: what i don't understand is you have a group of disgruntled parents, they met at the establishment whether publican or democrat, i vote either way. that's a very pliable part but to paint them all as racist is incredibly shortsighted i saw this unfolding, and i've talked to you and you document this in slow motion. he documented the school board meetings and being called domestic terrorists and i've been asking democrat for weeks, if you think this is the best

joe: abby i would get your reaction to randi weingarten she had a tweet defending herself after she tookf and a conference in puerto rico and we seen this over and over again whether it's gavin newsom, boyd lightfoot, nancy pelosi, hair appointments, if your democrat you probably broke this rule and got caught let's read this tweet. you could not be without panel proof of vaccination, i just done a rapid covid test and it was negative. frankly i you are right. kids are wearing masks in schools, educators must wear masks inside as well. i am sorry. rules for me, not for the democrats. abby: you hit on the head, this goes back to the messaging of the biden administration to all of covid i think a lot of people don't know if they should wear a mask and in the very beginning when former president trump about the vaccine people were warning against it and this is been an evolution of a story and like you said rules for the not for me it shows the human nature is to make mistakes and the people who are hammering this message in are not following their own rules and why should they expect the a

also there was randi weingarten. she's the president of the american federation of teacher's union. education is a major issue in this campaign. republicans knocked that appearance as mcauliffe campaigning with a union boss that pushed to keep kids out of the class in the pandemic. another issue, former president trump. as mcauliffe is trying to tie his republican opponent to trump at every stop. mcauliffe has not spoken publicly yet today. his democratic allies are making their final pitch. >> they're projecting on glenn youngkin. i don't think there's negative about terry running a second time. but there's this momentum because they're hungry and terry has the math and a track record. i think it's going to be close. i think we're going to win and i think early vote is the key to it. >> early voting began in september for 45 days in virginia. you have terry mcauliffe already having voted more than a month ago. the returns right now show that 1/5 of the virginia electorate already voting when early voting finished saturday. so a lot of that is in. if you look at where the returns ar

terry mcauliffe trying to drum up the vote, bringing in some of those big union voices like randy weingartenng they are coming out in full force because youngkin has done something that i think nobody anticipated even a month ago. this is really the big moment that's happened over just the past couple of weeks when you look at it but he's created a wedge issue in the blue sections of virginia, and he's done it over education. so you look at the suburban voters who were trump voters in 2016. biden voters in 2020, and, the sense is they don't really hike what they signed up for that much. when they look at the division that they see happening in their state. youngkin is out there with this very positive message. he turns out in this case to be the one trying to unify the state and bring people together so it's a very interesting dynamic and he's clearly created a wedge issue in blue parts of the state that i think nobody anticipated. even several weeks ago, sandra. >> sandra: martha, noting on the screen right now a polling place in fredericksburg, virginia. we've been showing virginia beach a

fundamental government rates that you pay the taxes and to go to public school system it was not to randi weingartenhers union want certain things out of it. virginia parents did not feel like they're getting matt. gerry: is glenn youngkin the model going forward question are quick to defend throughout he did a great job saying i want trump's endorsement but that's all i want to talk about virginia and the issues i care about. and other states the trumpet player in the trump rally would be much more important. but again, don't talk about the past, talk about the future but people care about you can actually win when you are a republican or a democrat. so far we come back on a talk more about that project about have democrats and got out of touch with voters with their progressive messaging being off-track. are they getting the message from this week's election? we will talk about that. >> what effect you think not having passed these bill had on tuesday's election results? >> and then getting the job done, producing results of the american people is very positive relents of the data is as it comes o

their wheels after the election throwing everything against the wall to see if it will stick so randi weingartenall slip saying first and foremost we must listen to parents. they are our partners. culture warriors are labeling any discussion of race or dissemination as crts to make it toxic and try to stop us teaching students accurate history. she has found her new straw man. no one is trying to stop the teaching of slavery and difficult painful lessons from our past, total straw man. >> total straw man but the other thing about crt, when you hear the media official, propagandist say something like we are not actually teaching crt in schools it is as ludicrous as saying we don't teach the bible, we just build the entire curriculum around the 10 commandments and the commandments of cic run through everything we are seeing coming out of public schools and public education across the country. a signal aspect of this is the cancellation of gifted programs in math and other areas across the country as being racist establishments because so many kids qualify for don't run in the direction they would

laura: does randi weingarten send overdraft remarks verbatim or just provide an outline for that guyot. the man has you all to hint that schools may be disrupted after what they did to our kids for 18 months, that damage was not enough for you? with vaccines that are widely available, to teach in person should be fired. period. >> i'm echoing the president's call to action to host pop up vaccine clinics in every school across the country, to a list trusted leaders in our community to build vaccine confidence. laura: such an encroachment on parental rights needs to be met with a vigorous, sustained, substantive protests from people who pay their salary. this is no time to be silent and afraid. think about what biden has done just this week a defied the supreme court's clear directive by extended a moratorium on evictions rent-free for everybody. unconstitutional, unlawful to take income from landlords coast-to-coast, don't have congressional approval, doing it anyway and biden signed an executive order to significantly raise the fuel efficiency standard on us automobiles, he says ther

it's interesting to see that his closing argument included a pitch by randi weingarten who is the head of one of the biggest teachers union, the american federation of teachers. it appears tone-deaf because you've a lot of these parents upset with the teachers unions. it is an indication that mcauliffe realizes he is lost on the issue and he needs to fire up the unions to get voters to the polls and is getting i don't think it's going to break one way or another. a lot can change just by who shows up today. >> harris: it's interesting. it's between nine, seconds ago, senator ted cruz was in focus with me and he made the point that it's squeaky type here and in new jersey where it's tightening. even if that is the case, democrats did not jump on the right issue and by the time they did, it was too late. is it too late moving forward particularly for president biden? >> mollie: what's interesting about these races is how tight they are. virginia is a pretty democrat state. as you noted, joe biden won by ten points. that should not be difficult for mcauliffe. he's a previous governor and

teachers union president randi weingarten let it all slip saying first and foremost, we must listen to. now she saying they are our partners. let's be clear, culture warriors are labeling any discussion of discussion or race ert to stop us teaching our students ert. no one is trying to stop the teaching of slavery and the difficult, painful lessons from our past. total strawman. >> it is a total strawman figures in the thing to understand about crt. whenever you hear media official, propagandist say something like we are not actually teaching crt in schools it is as ludicrous as saying we don't teach the bible, we just build our entire curriculum around the ten commandments and the commandments run through everything we are seeing in public school across the country. a single aspect of this is the cancellation of gifted programs in math and so many other areas across the country as being racist establishments because so many kids who qualify for it don't run in the direction that they would like to see when it comes to demographics. it's just a sign that rather than try to correct the

the very fact, one that the las rally was with randy weingarten from the american teachers federation, what does that say to parents and what does that say to independent moderate voters across the country? >> i think it is clear that fro the perspective of he saw the teachers as an organizing force in the fact that randy weingarten was there to help ge teachers to turn out, that was about the mechanics of politics john. the larger issue here, critical race theory. to me this is just straight out culture wars. to my mind, the last time there was it was all about don't take on the confederate statues, it' a matter of heritage in than it was about immigrant gangs. these are culture war issues. yes they work, but they damage and devise the society. i don't think it's good. >> is this of phony trumped up culture war as former president obama said it or is this a lot of parents who become very concerned mostly through remote learning finding out what their kids were actually being taught and told that didn't exist in high schools, being denied advanced placement courses in ninth grade is t

their kids, were upset about the curriculum in some cases, don't like mask mandates, don't like randi weingartenl this off in virginia. >> pete: looking ahead to 2022, obama campaign manager david cliff has said -- david plouffee has said that they should go on the offense on crt. how did the democrats flip the script? you have administrator saying we live, we know crt is in schools but we covered them. >> dagen: is he admitting? is plouffe admitting that elements of critical race theory are taught in schools? before tuesday didn't exist, at least based on these fire breathers on other networks. it astonishes me that nobody on the left is condemning this kind of language from michael eric dyson. where are they in standing up? i find it heartbreaking and grotesque, growing up in rural virginia, being an elementary school when the schools were truly first being integrated and for this woman, for people to spit on her victory and what she's achieved in her life, i know why they do it. they need to diminish and dismiss her history and her history making achievement because her victory invalidates it

hypocrisy seems to be a thin with no shame these days when it comes to randi weingarten, gavin newsompolitician that preaches masks doesn't wear them and hypocrisy is something that doesn't seem to matter. let's see if we can boil it down in the time you have left. it is about elitism. they don't think the rules apply to them because they serve a nobel, greater service. they believe about themselves and in themselves. they are better than you, me and everybody watching and the rules they employ are from you, not to them. not to just repeat the cliche. watch their behavior. >> harris: watch what they do, not what they say. necessity is the mother of invention is so true. if it isn't necessary to them maybe the ideas won't come from the elitists. thank you. liberals swearing up and down that critical race theory is not happening in our schools but we have seen the receipts and shown them to you. so what's the strategy behind lying about knowable information? and then there is this. >> joe biden said at the time it's garbage and not true and it is not going the happen until joe learned t

having randi weingarten with him was a big mistake. >> harris: oh, i got to let you go. happy election day, everybody. thank you. tonight bret baier, martha maccallum host special coverage of the virginia governor's race. at 7:00 p.m. eastern and again for a special hour at 11:00 p.m. eastern. 7:00 p.m. is when the polls close and we got you covered all night long. the actions on fox news channel. president biden under fire for what appeared to be a nap. a little nappy nap. untimely unfortunately during a climate summit in scotland. a big one so they call it. critics say the optics are biting. others are coming to his defense and then there is this. >> that's where we are now at this point. one side makes a joke and that's a threat to civility. the other side goes far, far worse and it is okay because of who the target was. >> harris: let's go brandon chants are sweeping the nation and the left wing media are melting down over it. some of them calling it vitriol. joe concha as you saw points out many say it is more liberal hypocrisy. pete hegseth is in "focus" as we take

when we know all of in that governor -- or trying to be governor mcauliffe, he actually had randi weingarteno tone deaf that to the republicans can't learn from this -- and this shouldn't even be a partisan issue. when you have that number of voters and overwhelmingly voters who said education was the number one issue, i think 71% of them voted for youngkin, so they're not all republicans. there's independents and a lot of democrats probably crossed over to do that because they saw what's happening, and they want a change. david ceafd we should mention, we only have about 20 seconds, but poor people tend to benefit from school choice more than the rich or the middle class who can afford to send their a kids to parochial or private schools. it's the poor folks, if you give them the choice to use their tax money concern. >> absolutely. david: -- they're the ones who benefit host, right? >> absolutely. the money should follow the child. these parents can't afford or to pay the tuition at a private school, but they're the ones that are stuck by zip code and address in really bad schools. and so,

schools they closed out the campaign with a campaign stop with the teachers union president randi weingartenguy's been in politics or around politics pretty much his entire life, what have you got joe? >> speaking of elections, charlie have a guy name ed in my state here in the state of new jersey he is a trucker here eight furniture store. the guy's 58 he's never held public office before until now because he just ousted new jersey's senate president steven sweeney. this is after he spent $153 on his primary campaign and just a few thousand in the general. sweeney spent $490,000 and still lost. this shows you with the power of social media you could have a grassroots campaign, barely spend anything and beat the swamp. congratulations by. >> how can you not love that guy. >> so beautiful. >> 490,000 you lose to a guy who drove a truck is amazing but. >> are to keep mine quick mind of the week as a viral video, this person got a tattoo of their boyfriends name write down their spine to one week before they broke up you guys, don't they know this is coming , you can sense it. doesn't it hurt t

will randi weingarten appeared d in mcauliffe rally in fairfax. another issue in this election former president donald trump. at least for the mcauliffe campaign they tried to tie youngkin to trump every stop. heavy hitters like president joe biden who just tried giving him a boost from across the atlantic ocean. >> i think we are going to win in virginia. you know you are reporting it being close. the race is very close. it's about who shows up. who turns out. and granted, i did win by a large margin. but the point of the matter is that i think that this is -- this is going to be-we all knew from the beginning this is going to be a tight race. >> vice president kamala harris and congressional democrats like senator tim kaine and south carolina representative jim clyburn have also campaigned for mcauliffe over the past week. as is almost ritual on election day the folks here say they are feeling pretty good where they see people show up and vote early on. again still early in the counting process. it hasn't started counting until the next hour. br

counted, he has three more in his sights than donald trump -- his guest speaker at his last event, randy weingarten head of the american federation of teachers, has been fighting to close schools. which has led, as norm made the point, to a lot of discontent on the parts of parents. you go to other countries, you go to other states, and you find schools have been running with, you know, basically zero health problems. so the teacher unions may have played a part in this. those were local issues. but i also note that mcauliffe's percentage of the vote looks biden's job rating in virginia polling. karlyn: terry mcauliffe was a student of norm's when he was a professor at catholic university many years ago. but this is a question about the economy. by the way, henry is having technical difficulties, and perhaps we will get him back before the end of the program. any thoughts about the possible red flag effect of the recent gdp and the increasingly negative international trade balance reports taken together with the significant tax increases that will be part of the build back better legislative agenda

maria: can you ave more of a tin area people that you have campaigning for you, randy weingarten kamalaory the people taking back their liberty and their freedom, it is the people coming out saying no, no, no no this is not what we want no, no, no not what i want my children learning they know they are pushing back on the lies that we are hearing from joe biden, like, for example, multitrillion-dollar package on spending costs nothing then yesterday biden claimed wage growth for american workers has outpaced inflation in recent months, no, it hasn't it is costing more for everything, data from his own administration, shows it is not true, inflation rose to 5.4% in september, compared to year earlier nachz highest rate 13 years wages, the same time rose 4.6% year-over-year, real wages are actually declining, 8/10 of a percent, when we see increases in fuel, double-digit he increases in food we know it is taking a chunk out of any increases in wages we got so again, is it incompetent or actual lies that people are just stupid? exactly that they treat people as if too stupid to govern they

you're making the jokes, pete, because that's what's been -- just to clarify, randy weingarten, head in a mask if you're vaccinated or not. pete: and it is the teachers union, to belabor the point, who have been collaborating with the government to insure our schools were shut down, to insure that eventually vaccines will be mandated, to insure masks are worn for all. that has been a their policy, protect our teachers. rachel: ban the smiles from children, ban the laughter they can't even hear -- which, by the way, pete, sorry to interrupt, when she was asked why she didn't wear the mask, people had trouble hearing me. pete: here's what she wrote in response to the criticism. you could not be at the hotel or panel without proof of vaccination. i had also just done a rapid covid test and was negative. frankly, agreeing with the critic who pointed this out, i think you're right. if kids are wearing masks in school and others, educators must as well, i'm sorry. she uses this to jiu-jitsu into let's all keep wearing masks. forgive me for this indiscretion. let's all keep wearing masks, t

it was like randi weingarten said they should close.ids and they are absolutely right. again we'll see this in many places where schools were closed for over a year, which is in blue cities predominantly that are controlled by teachers unions. >> dana: "fox & friends" had these two moms on. moms for liberty co-founders talking about the overall issue. watch them here. >> parents are paying attention to elections and getting involved and this is just the beginning of parents' voices being heard in their children's education in our country. >> parents are ready to reclaim parental rights at the level of education. we see that across america. >> dana: you write in the "new york post" i follow michelle goldberg's work. "new york times" a liberal columnist. she wrote yesterday democrats better wake up. parents across the country are serious. she said they want to dismantle the public school system. i think that the reverberations not just from virginia but across the country there are school boards where you had people running for the first

you know, randy weingarten was speaker, at terry mcauliffe fund-raiser big to-do before election obviouslyg policies, we're a few days away from potential of joe biden putting in place lael brain offered as new chairman of the federal reserve. how much damage can the progressives do to this economy and the country, in the next three years? >> they can do a lot that is why we've got to give them only another year to try to do it we've got to win house of representatives back impact education more i am cochairing all frustrating for republican governors across the country i know how important it is to have a good educational system in place that good governance in governor's mansion we have to stop crazy economic policies that joe biden is trying to put forward they are rushing right now because they know they are he overreached they know teller going to lose terms in 2022 we are having he speaker mccarthy in house of representatives not speaker pelosi will be a good day to stop all craziness a that joe biden is trying to push through but we've got to keep fighting right now he is going to t
