what do you say to barack obama if terry mccauliffe? >> your children have choices when it comes to education. how about letting the rank-and-file. the rest of us have that same chase. you decide that your children should go to other schools, my children did not attend private schools, my children attended public school, your you had an opportunity to sense them to private school. why can't you allow the rest of us to have that same opportunity? mr. obama, why can't you allow our children to have the same children mr. mccauliffe, seems to me it is hypocritical, we're seeing right through that. because our children are the ones who are in danger of failing, we need better education systems, because we need to create generational wealth, our children cannot always start at the bottom. education lifted my farther out of property. he came to america with a dollar 75. from jamaica. took any job he could find he put himself through school, now he is comfortably retired. education lifted my farther out of father, and me out of bother. poverty.

when barack obama comfortably won the state in 2008, it marked the beginning of an unbroken run of democratic wins. the “red wall” had crumbled. that's just one of a host of examples where the certainties of past election seasons erode and then vanish. california was once one of the most reliably republican states. from 1952 through 1988, it went to democrats only once in ten presidential elections; and put republicans into the statehouse and the u.s. senate regularly. then bill clinton won california in 1992, a shift away from republicans' anti-immigration views and an increase in liberal-minded, college-educated voters triggered a collapse of the republican party. hillary clinton carried the ate by more than four million votes; joe biden by more than five million votes. republicans do not hold a single statewide office. but the myth of the red and blue walls is bipartisan. throughout the 2016 campaign, democrats were confident that hillary clinton would prevail because of the “blue wall” in michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. they had voted democratic for six straight elections.

his writings have been recommended by president barack obama as well as tech moguls bill gates and mark zuckerberg. you raise warnings about technology. you're also embraced by lot of fos in silicalh. cper: i tt rt a contradiction? >> harari: they are a bit afraid of their own power; that they have realized the immense influence they have over the world, over the course of evolution, really. and i think that spooks at least some of them, and that's a good thing. and this is why they are kind of, to some extent, open to listening. >> cooper: you started as a history professor. what do you call yourself now? >> harari: i'm still a historian, but i think history is the study of change, not just the study of the past. but it covers the future, as well. >> cooper: harari got his ph.d. in history at oxford and lives in israel, where the past is still very present. he took us to this archeological site called tel gezer. >> harari: 4,000 or 5,000 years ago, this was one of the biggest cities in the area. >> cooper: harari says cities like this were only possible because about 70,000 years ago,

the response to, that was quick and harsh, barack obama is ignoring, covering up rape that took place in loudoun county school system, obama makes this statement, now a judge found this kid guilty of rape. but obama comes in they don't care about the rape victim, they don't care about the education to children or about concerns of the parents. how to we know? terry mccauliffe said throughout the race. that this radical racist ideology is a racist dog whistle, his opponent glenn youngkin is usin to divide the people, a racist dog whistle, now the parents and the rest of us have been watching over last year and a half. when there was virtual education, and we saw what the kids were taught. in people are making millions writing books that are used in classrooms and software that are used in the classrooms, here we have virginia department of education promoting a book, that says teachers must embrace theories such as critical race theory. despite the m fact that terry mccauliffe said we don't do that in virginia. they provide resources for -- equity initiatives with a tab titled what we'

obama, larry summers has been talking about inflation for months and a lot of people worry when you take an inflationary overheated economy and you have $3 trillion which is what these 2 billion bills would do, 3 trillion in government spending you will make it worse and there's a lot of economic experts that say pass or not pass it, inflation will continue well into 2022. >> let's break this down, long-term and short-term, that is definitely true 17 nobel prize-winning a economist are those that we talked about doing things to allow americans to get back to work, putting money in their pockets and making childcare more affordable will help with inflation in the long run, there is a short-term transitory the ones that we are already seeing slow down a little bit but very mindful because that's impacting americans. that is a consequence of the economic effects of the pandemic. there are so many things that are happening in our economy, distortion, disruption, things in our supply chain that are affecting crisis, a clearly direct consequence of the pandemic which is why the best thing

this is a county that has constantly voted for a democratic presidential candidate since barack obama but at the same time keeps elected a republican congressman. for all these reasons, we'll dive into the issues that matter here in washoe county. >> very hard for democrats to win a race without carrying washoe. finally shaquille brewster in duval county, florida. shaq, the endangered species, the swing county. tell us about duval. >> good morning, chuck. duval county, essentially jacksonville, florida, is a sprawling suburban area that is as purple as purple gets. it wasn't always that way. this is a traditionally republican stronghold that democrats flipped in 2018 and president biden won in 2020. now it's the source of a major battle between both political parties. republicans are trying to reverse the trend they've been seeing, pointing to issues like immigration, inflation, and the labor shortage, hoping moderate voters will end upcoming home, and democrats are pointing to congress and pleading with them to pass president biden's agenda saying inaction could threaten the trends t

. >>> barack obama honored jay-z at the rock and roll hall of fame induction. obama said in part, quote, this, i've turned to jay-z's words at different points in my life. jay-z is one of the most renowned artists in history and an embodiment of the american dream, a dream he has helped make real for other young people like him. >>> with october in the rear view, the country's box offices are celebrated. october was the best month for the domestic box office since the pandemic started, grossing over $638 million. 78% was driven by major films including "venom," "no time to die," and "halloween kills." growing consumer confidence and returning to cinemas amid the pandemic led to october's gains. >> still ahead, one day before the city elects a new mayor, the deadline for workers to receive the vaccine leave as shortage of firefighters.

"way too early" will be right back like the splash they create the way they exaggerate the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not an injection or a cream it's

in 2009, barack obama voted not to invoke executive privilege from george w. bush. it has been the current guy, the current guy. joe biden has been making that same argument in court. one thing so important to remember, however, even if donald trump can somehow invoke executive privilege, that is not going to be the end of it. they will have to do a balancing act like they did in the richard nixon case. what is the need for the documents to come out and how important is it they remain secret. . >> even if he's not successful, it takes time. which may be the point here. walk us through what is next and how long in total this could take >> yeah. we're in front of the district court now. now, the judge has an interesting history here. she has gotten several of the january 6th cases relating to the criminal cases against rioters. and she's made interesting statements about the way she views what happened on january 6th. she said in one case, quote, a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected deposit and a very real danger to our democracy. that shows judge c

forty-fourth president barack obama for which he served on the national security council chief of staff and ambassador to the united nations. san francisco giants halfway through the 2021 season did go giants. welcome, jeremy. last but not least, this conversation, she is the international policy director at the cyber policy center and the international policy fellow at stanford. ten years as a representative in the european parliament, two years at stanford including one and a half remotely. first book she is writing. 24,300 people on twitter. still used to refer to the city. so glad to have all four of you here today. we are looking forward to your conversation. over to you. >> thank you so much. a warm welcome to everybody joining. a real celebration today as well. i want to welcome jeremy and rob on the launch of their book where big tech went wrong and how we can reboot it. i cannot stress enough how important it is to hear such a diagnosis, well researched, well argued from americans. i say that being in europe now. of course, the world is looking at what the united states is doin

obama so where does the bottom again? you look at things like virginia he won virginia idly by nine points on the result of winning independence by almost 20 points. glenn youngkin is leading independence over terry mcauliffe by close to 15 points in the last polls i have seen which is 35 to 40 point swing among independence in the country, so soon he will be in a 20% approval rating in independence which mean the approval ratings will sink and a sink and sink. maria: we will take a break and when we come back president biden ignores questions about the proposal to pay illegal migrants separated at the border and million dollars a family. we will get into it next with lieutenant christopher from the texas department of public safety. he will join us live from texas. through chase with chase freedom unlimited. that means that i earn 5% on our rental car, i earn 5% on our cabin. i mean, c'mon! hello cashback! hello, kevin hart! i'm scared. in a good way. i'm lying. let's get inside. earn big time with chase freedom unlimite

and then when you have the former president of the united states, barack obama saying that this is just a culture war. when you have joe biden, the president united states coming in and saying this is just donald trump 2.0. it's just not working with virginia voters. now do we know the obviously of this? no, but there has been a clear shift in the polling, guys. ainsley: i'm curious to know why people would vote for mcauliffe, why they are supporting him after he said that about schools. is it just because they're democrats voting on party lines or because it's name recognition since he used to be the governor? lawrence: the democrats that i spoke, to ainsley, they have made it very clear that they still consider themselves as democrats, but the way the democrats are addressing this education very concerning for them. brian: a lot of people like crt. the people that like crt and maybe some of the major cities are happy with it are. steve: all right, lawrence. ainsley: thank you, family. lawrence: thanks, guys. steve: lawrence jones is going to be way out in with western virginia all day

you have seen occasions where the president, bill clinton in 1993, barack obama in 2009, donald trump in 2017. you had first years there that got rocky. the poll numbers for the president started to drop and extirnl factors and the other party ended up winning in virginia. it is a continue wags of that trend if youngkin wins here. >> chris, you and steve will have long nights and early voting numbers are strong so far why what are you hearing on the ground? >> reporter: yeah. both campaigns are i think pleasantly surprised by the early voting numbers. huge numbers in on saturday and ellie voting tends to favor the democrats. both campaigns see this as a sign of interest and there often isn't interest in an off year election. both candidates have been out in force all weekend and again today. for mcauliffe trying to tie youngkin to trump. youngkin said he will not go to a trump rally and it is the culture wars for youngkin working, talking about critical race theory. take a look at the enthusiasm gap. extremely enthusiastic republicans is 49% of the elect rat. 32% of democrats say they

obama, will be here, the former vice president al gore, is here. the u.s. in contrast to the trump administration is playing an extremely high, very public role in underscoring how critically important this issue is right now. as you know, the trump administration withdrew from the paris climate accords, and when they had these kinds of cop summits earlier during the trump administration, the u.s. had relatively a low-level profile. they didn't even talk much about the critical importance of dealing with climate change. that has changed dramatically right now. we'll see if the house and senate get together and pass the legislation on climate that the president wants, because that will be significant as well. >> bill, as we look at all of this, it comes back to yet again incredibly important issues facing not just the united states but the world that has been politicized over a number of years. this is not new. coming into this, is there a sense that things are starting to change? is there a sense that warnings, like we just heard from the u.n. secr

. >> reporter: with president biden, vice president harris and former president barack obama all hitting the trail to shore up support as republican enthusiasm surges in a state president biden won by ten points. >> we are winning the independent votes by double digits. >> reporter: polls show political newcomer and businessman glenn youngkin statistically tied with mcauliffe, using talking points republicans having seized on like the economy and education. >> parents have a right to be engaged in their kids' education. >> reporter: vowing to stand up for parents in the classroom and ban critical race theory from being taught in school. >> he has pitted parents against parents. he's got parents against teachers, and he's bringing his personal culture wars into our classrooms. >> reporter: back in 2013 when mcauliffe won his first gubernatorial term, he broke the so-called virginia curse of candidates losing virginia's off-year gubernatorial race if the same party affiliation was in the white house. mcauliffe will try to do the same again tomorrow. george? >> stephanie ramos, thank you. >

this is barack obama. meanwhile glenn youngkin on his own was outside at a place called short pump in the middle of a field and he got 3,000 people to his event on the same day. so clearly the enthusiasm is, they are running away with the enthusiasm. but one last point, let's not lose sight of the fact that with those characters that went and did their false flag operations outside of the youngkin bus, they were all virginia democrat senate work for the state -- and several them work for the state party. the state democratic party right now has one purpose and that's getting terry mcauliffe elected. >> harris: that's so interesting because i think kennedy, you asked, do we know if the mcauliffe campaign knew about that before? that's fascinating information that charlie hurt just injected into this conversation. we will move on. coming up, they may talk a good game on climate change but their actions state are a very different story. riding around in a massive motorcade before jetting off to the claimant s

not sure it will work, barack obama came in and hinted at that, but we have doug wilder, the popular former black governor of virginia saying that terry mcauliffe has not been that good on issues for black americans. i just think none of this is working. it doesn't seem to be moving the needle in mr. mcauliffe's direction and i think that will be scary to a lot of democrats looking ahead at next year. >> sandra: you set it up for us tomorrow, and as we look at the midterm election, still here and from "the wall street journal," thank you. and john, we will know more about the race in 24 hours from now. speak to your lips to god's ears, let's hope this is a case. we will be talking about this later on this hour with the parent from fairfax county, virginia, who says in the past she has typically voted democrat and did vote for joe biden, but is changing her vote now a lot of it based on what is going on out there in virginia in terms of education and what is happening in the schools, so that is interesting. coming up soon, fox news alert now, president biden in scotland for the u.n. s

barack obama. stacey abrams. the list goes on. i don't know that it's possible in contemporary politics even in a upper south mid atlantic state to put up with anything but increasingly nationalized state politics. to youngkin's credit, he has tried to taylor this to virginia, and a lot of this has a cultural bent. what's going on in the schools? this notion of critical race theory. that somehow the public schools are hot beds of transgender depravity. the situation in loudoun county just outside of d.c. which has been at full boil and has really captured the imagination, particularly of conservative media. >> mark, in the time we've got left, you frame this as looking a lot like 2014 where mark warner scraped by with a win by less than a point. if this is a lot like 2014 and mcauliffe narrowly wins this race, what should democrats take away? is there anything they can do to improve their chances going into the midterms? >> garrett, one they can say a win is a win. and actually, who is in control of governor's mansions and an atto

obama did, to fund theocratic terrorists who want to murder americans and murder israelis. but the ayatollah needs to know, europe needs to know, our friends need to know, our enemies need to know that president biden's promises are empty words that will expire the instant his presidency is over. we don't have a dictator in this country. we have a constitutional republic. if president biden wants to bind subsequent administrations, he can negotiate a treaty, submit a treaty to the senate, and get it ratified. but he doesn't have the votes, and so instead he makes empty promises. madam president, if president biden and vice president harris were proud of the policies they're pursuing in the middle east, they would give the american people the lists of the 16 prisoners they're trying to force egypt to release. we know multiple of the names senate democrats have put in the appropriation language are affiliated with the muslim brotherhood. we know one is an anti-semitic hate preacher. and we suspect that the administration knows full well that if it released those names, it cou

you mentioned barack obama. stacey abrams, kamala harris. they brought in everyone that they can. it is going to be critical. youngkin -- mcauliffe may still be able to pull it off. if it does, it's because he generated enough turnout among americans to offset independent voters and those in the northern suburbs. it's critical to mcauliffe. they have known it a long time but i'm not sure if they've activated the voters in the same way that biden did a year ago. >> charles: no doubt. thanks, tom. appreciate it. a report on payments to certain my grants is not only -- not the only thing feeling fierce debate. so is the president's response. we'll explain later. more long lines and headaches for flyers and jeff flock is getting answers. he's next. >> it was the weekend from hill for american airlines. cancellations up and down. the problem is, today it continues. we'll tell you more in just a minute. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >>

look, barack obama lost -- he only got 37% of the white vote there. terry mcauliffe lost white voters there by i think 30 points last time around. so there is this sort of racial angst sort of underlying their estate. but big parts of northern virginia, you know, the counties around richmond as well as down there, these college-educated suburban voters who have been breaking more democrat have been sort of holding virginia up. but i will also sort of change the narrative here. republicans will not have a better chance in the next decade of winning virginia. historically, they're supposed to do well historically now. they're supposed to do really well historically now. all the measurements, all the histories says republicans do well now. if youngkin fails to win virginia, given the sort of different kind of campaign he's tried to run and has tried to walk that thin line, if he loses virginia right now i think is a devastating blow to republicans because they're not going to have a better chance in the next decade of winning this state than they do righ

obama who i read in the report today got about 1,000 people in richmond over the weekend. one thing hasn't been covered enough terry mcauliffe really represents ralph northam's party. the governor he is succeeding. you don't hear much about him. there is a bit of a ralph northam hangover last vestiges of bill and hillary clinton. he was bill's best friend hillary clinton's finance director. he represents the past. youngkin represents the future. mcauliffe is very mess mystic every time he is out in the trail attacking parents and others. and also i think youngkin has been very optimistic. it's a message of hope and the future. >> rachel: funny you bring up hillary. i get a lot of hillary vibes when i listen to terry mcauliffe. he sounds very entitled, very annoyed he is getting asked all these questions is that part of it, that's part of why is he drops in the polls. >> have a way supporting people who they think they like them. there is a bit of dripping of scaramucci. sarcasm. he wasn't always like that. he wasn't to call virginians deplorable and irredeemable to coin tw

obama, for presidency, he didn't run a campaign of race, right? so he is showing of the people actually don't really respond to that rhetoric, so i don't know why they jumped on this. to me it seems like there is some -- an ecosystem of democratic party, and they said this is what we're going to run on, we are going to keep doing this, we are going to keep doing what we did for the last four years with trump. people are tired of it and things started to shake when they started showing the pornographic material being shown in school. when parents are the fly from, this is a book you can find in the school library, when terry mcauliffe said the reason i vetoed this bill that would allow you to see that material that is in the library is because i just don't think parents have a right to see what's going on in schools. can't really come back from that. and suddenly they realized, parents, i don't have control over my child. when did this happen and how do we go back, protect the children? >> tucker: exactly. terry mcauliffe is now my kid's dad? i don

the most visceral backlash after democrats cleaned house in the 2008 elections, including barack obama winning virginia by six points which stunned a whole lot of observers, and then just a year later, following year, republican bob mcdonald went on to become governor of virginia, defeats his opponent by a whopping 17 points a 23 point swing in just one year. to put it mildly, this was seen as very bad news for democrats. look at how nbc news had its nightly news broadcast. >> we were talking about a sea change in american politics. tonight we're reporting a small change which could also be an ominous development for the year old obama administration. republicans were elected governor last night in two important states, but other than preferring both candidates to the democrats, were voters across the country last night trying to say something else? there is evidence of an angry electorate out there. >> that was not wrong. you remember what happened in the midterms in 2010. that night, what brian williams is referring to, two republican governors referenced were bob mcdonald in virgini

this is a county back in 2012, mitt romney only lost to barack obama by about four points. fast forward, biden carries it by about 25 points. there has been massive movement. these are areas with racial diversity, asian americans and latino population as well. there is an abundance of white voters with college degrees especially in richmond, virginia. i think that's what powered biden winning by ten. >> steve kornacki allowing me to crash in on his sleep time. thank you for doing this and making time. >> i am happy to do this. we will see you tomorrow. >> we will lock at key races in the virginia governor's race, we have key races in a number of important u.s. cities. it is a more interesting off year election year than usual this year. now i am looking more forward to it than ever. >>> still ahead tonight, the supreme court heard oral arguments on a case it went way out of its way for. they have not moved this fast to hear a case since bush v gore. the arguments were live streamed, electric, at times infuriating. we have that story and expert help to figure it out, next. e

obama. he's tried to make this a national campaign for whatever reason, i don't specifically know why. and you have pretty much stuck to local issues, state issues that impact everyday lives. i got to imagine that that's probably what has resulted in the surge. how do you explain these poll numbers that have now shifted in the last number of weeks dramatically in your favor? >> well, we've been focusing on the issues most important to virginians, low taxes, schools that deliver for our children, safe communities, a growing job market versus a stalled out one and oh, by the way, a government that will work for us and not tell us what to do all the time. and virginians have embraced this platform. it's been amazing, across the country we've been hearing from families inning stand up for us too, virginia, because we don't get to vote this year, we have the same problems that you have. these kitchen table issues, this is what america is focused on right now. our website is blowing up. people com

so during the barack obama presidency for example, the country actually went from demographically speaking being a majority white christian country, 54% white and christian in 2008 to being one that is no longer a majority white christian country. it's 44% white and christian today and that reality setting in has led to an i dentity criss where abcesent legal methods to rollback the clock, there is an anti democratic reach for other means when democratic processes have failed. >> there is something i read about called the last gasp of white supremacy and what you're talking about and i believe that to be so and the desperation as you call it. let put up robert's book again. robert p. jones, thank you very much. appreciate that. his book -- make sure we get it in there. it's called "white too long." the legacy of whit sup preliminary see and american christianity. thank you, sir. fascinating what you've found. >> thanks so much. >> you, too. >>> president biden apologizing on the world stage for take this, something the former president did. try vicks vapocool drops. in honey lemon chill. f

he brought in barack obama, stacey abrams, kamala harris to try to activate the black vote in virginia, terry mcauliffe has 90% of the vote the first time around. the latest fox poll has an 80%. glenn youngkin 14% in that pole. so mcauliffe needs to get closer to 90%. the other reason they are using the tactic is to win background among white women in the suburbs, northern virginia suburbs where they lost ground on the education issue. that is the beating heart of the demolition without suburban women or african-americans, terry mcauliffe will not win this race tomorrow. >> laura: according to cnn jets felony, mcauliffe is down, tom because of the spending bills have not passed . >> there is no doubt president biden lower approval rating in the commonwealth and elsewhere contributing to the delays among my credits unable to pass infrastructure bill and unable to pass broader reconciliation bill of the social programs. so definitely contributed to really a lack of positivity about the direction of the country. >> laura: tom, have you seen evidence of biden's agenda with democrats and el

this is a county that just in 2012, less than ten years ago, mitt romney only lost it to barack obama by about four points. fast forward to 2020, donald trump versus joe biden, biden carries it by 25 points. so there is been massive movement in the populations that particularly in northern virginia, these are areas that there is a lot of racial diversity, large asian american population, large latino population. but it also is that demographic we talk so much about, there is an abundance of that white voters with college degrees especially in northern virginia, and then those richer suburbs. i think that's really what's power that ship to divide -- with >> nbc news national political correspondent, steve kornacki, letting me interrupt his cram slash leap time. i think you're gonna be on the air for at least 24 hours, steve i apologize for doing this and i thank you for making time. >> always happy to talk to elections, i'll see you tomorrow. >> all right, see you tomorrow. again, we are going to be having full election tomorrow night, looking at those key races in the new jersey gover

obama winning virginia by six points. which stunned a whole lot of observers. and then just a year later, following, year bob mcdonald went on to become governor of virginia defeating his opponent by a whopping 17 points. that's a 23 point swinging points in just one year. and to put it mildly, this was seen as very bad news for democrats. just listen to how nbc opened its nightly news broadcast the day after the election. >> good evening, a year ago, we were talking about a sea change in american politics. tonight we are reporting a small change which could also be anonymous development for the year old obama administration. republicans were elected governor last night, two important states, but other than preferred both candidates to the democrats, were voters across the country last night trying to say something else? there is evidence of an angry electorate out there. >> that was not wrong. we remember what happened in the midterms in 2010, that night with brian williams referring to -- they were bob mcdonald and new

obama by about four points. fast forward, biden carries it by about 25 points. there has been massive movement. these are areas with a lots of sort of racial diversity, a large asian-american population, latino population as well. but p it's also that demographi we talked about. there's an abundance of white voters with college degrees especially in richmond, virginia. i think that's what powered biden winning by ten. >> nbc news national correspondent steve kornacki allowing me to crash in on his sleep time. thank you for doing this and making time. >> i'm always happy to talk elections. i'll see you tomorrow. >> i'll see you tomorrow, steve. >>> again, we're going to have full election coverage tomorrowo night, looking at the key races in the virginia governor's race, we have key races in a number of important u.s. cities. we have ballot measures that are going to do-to-be sfr interesting in terms of policy and partisanship. it is a more interesting off-year election year than usual this year, and i'm looking

the only time the pattern was broken in 2013 when a leader after barack obama was reelected president and some guy named terry mcauliffe was elected governor of virginia and then the pattern went back to the same as it always been. one party wins the white house and other party wins virginia's mansion. youngkin has history and momentum on his side. what mcauliffe has on his side is math. the fact that this has been a bluer and bluer state and so the question is, do enough democrats come out to vote for mcauliffe? does youngkin motivate republicans in a year when trump is not on the ballot which plays both ways. right, trump is in a lock box. we'll not know until tonight how this works out. i think anybody tells you they know how this is going to play is wrong. we just don't know yet. i don't rule out the possibility that other candidate could win convincingly either because of the momentum or the math. let's see. >> let's put sam stein in the position telling us how this is going to play out. >> white house senator for politico. sam, how is it looking in virginia, any polls giving you

barack obama was 21 points to the favorable side when i won in 2009 in new jersey. this morning, joe biden is 6 points to the negative upside down in new jersey. in blue new jersey. so jack ciattarelli has a real chance to win this one tonight. i think youngkin has a better chance because he has moved up in the polls. but jack is closing strong and fast. it's happened in new jersey before. and i have my fingers crossed that i'm going to have a new republican successor when the polls close tonight. brian: really? ainsley: then there was crt and little girl raped in the bathroom emany by a boy wearing a skirt and transferred to another school and they ignore it and hide it the dad gets arrested for fighting back at school board meeting. then they are bringing in the fbi. i get it here why youngkin is doing so well. people hear that story and that narrative over and over and over and they want to vote against it. they want to stand up for children, the momma and papa bear movement. are we going to see this across the country when we face our midterms? we will see -- i

former president barack obama when this year was california's attorney general. for americans are getting. >> health insurance coverage as a result of the affordable care act. and here covered california today. we have over 12 million americans. who have insurance, medical insurance because of the work done under the affordable care act. >> many private health insurers are no longer waving out of pocket costs for covid treatment and secretary. but sarah says the biden administration will continue to support vaccinations and testing the open enrollment period. ends january 31st. the supreme court will not hear a case involving transgender rights instead leaving in place a lower court decision against a catholic hospital that would not allow a transgender man to have a hysterectomy there. mursi said one medical center in sacramento county refused to allow the procedure to be performed at its facility, calling it, quote, elective sterilization that violated the hospitalizations ethical and religious obligations. the patient got the surgery 3 days later at a differen

president biden, vice president harris, and former president barack obama have campaign for democratic candidates. a newcomer to politics has largely stayed away from trump and his allies during the campaign. the two candidates instead are sticking with the issues. >> i will and was a brick wall to protect your reproductive rights. >> we will declare that virginia's schools never will be closed again, five days a week, in person education. jobina: in new york city, voters will vote in a new mayor. voters in boston will make history electing the city's first female mayor, either michelle wu or another. -- or george. in new jersey, polls show the democrat leading the republican opponent, reggie. reggie: thanks, jobina. the trial for elizabeth holmes will resume in san jose. a water main break forced it to close. crews had to shut off water to the area, including the courthouse. holmes claimed her blood testing technology was used on military helicopters, even know what was not. the devos family invested $100 million in theranos. coming up, the photographer robbed at gunpoint right outsid

with barack obama he gets a fourth of what glenn youngkin got last night. >> harris: the effect on the virginia race as well as what it could mean in 2022 with the sagging poll numbers for biden. richard fowler, like minded people on one side of the media aisle, we will call them liberal. many of them partake in that kind of language and tweets and so forth. and we know that the shock and awe has got to be how quickly this race tightened up. you mention that yourself. what does all of this mean to you when you hear people at the other networks saying trouble? >> i think there are a couple of things. what we see happening in virginia is a little bit of downward pressure from washington because you have gridlock on capitol hill getting joe biden's agenda done. low approval rating by the president and you have this movement in virginia by parents in classrooms saying they want to ban critical race theory even though there doesn't seem to be critical race theory being taught in many classrooms. it is coming to a head as voters go to the polls in virginia to figure out who the next governor

bush to barack obama to donald trump to biden. this is a country that is all over the place. what does this country want? it is very divide, and i think you see that in virginia where you see backlack, right? this was a state that just went ten points for biden and now they are like, you know, they are bad what's happening in the schools. they are mad that their lives haven't changed and you see this opposition, and you see enthusiasm for youngkin. >> you also see, lastly, a republican candidate who has somehow managed. >> 100%. >> somehow managed to hold trump at arm's length. do not come to virginia. i do not want you here and yet trump has repeatedly told him he's a nice guy and repeatedly told trump voters to go out and vote for him. i can't remember someone who has pushed him away and still gives him a hug. >> the big question for reap dance is this a road map that other republicans can snol two big differences, glenn youngkin is worth $440 million. he can self-fund if donald trump wants to block and back an opponent and virginia is different than many other states. very

look at barack obama. he lost the house and senate. he went a second turn. look at bill clinton. he lost and everybody thought he was done. you mentioned regan. the white house has to change. they have to change direction. if they lose virginia, the status quo won't work. they have to mix it up. i don't know what they're going to do but doing the same thing will not work. >> neil: all right. you know, bob, i was reading my history books. i don't remember that whole thing. i understand it was a big deal with reagan. thanks, bob cusack from the hill. we're going to new jersey, taking a close up look at that. while virginia gets the attention, it's not only the governorship that is at stake there but the legislature, the assembly. they're going to watch how many hold on to their jobs all the way up to phil murphy himself. remember this about new jersey, it rare list re-elects democratic governors. the last time it did so was in 1977. so phil murphy is not only fighting republicans but could be fighting history. christy todd wittman on that after this. you're a one-man stitchwork mas

he finished less than five points behind barack obama in this county. along comes donald trump, and all of a sudden republicans are losing this county by 25 points. so we see the exit poll here. it's hinting that, hey, it's possible youngkin made some inroads here on education. if he did, though, what we want to see is louden county is one of the places you're going to see it. is he eroding the biden over trump 25-point margin? i think everyone agrees it's going to come down from 25. the question is how much he was able to erode it? is it still in the mid-teens. the high teens for terry mcauliffe. that wouldn't be enough for glenn youngkin. is he knocks it down to ten points, 12 points, now he's getting it into range. is he getting it to single digits? that would be incredible news for the youngkin campaign. when we talk about this issue of education, it was aimed at places like louden county. its are going to be fairfax next door, down in the richmond area, chesterfield county, a lot of suburban areas, some of the swing areas, too, virginia beach we'll

obama was re-elected, democrats went on to a bloodbath in the midterm elections in 2014. so it does not always portend things. but a loss here from mcauliffe would send democrats into something of a tailspin and a ton of finger-pointing about that divided democratic party in washington. that, of course, has been haenging over this entire race. the grid lock in congress and between the white house. but president biden speaking just a short time ago in glasgow, wolf, as you know, he indicated optimism. he believes that terry mcalulife is going to win tonight. >> he predicted it. he said it flatly. we'll be getting back to you. stand by. >>> it's election night in america. tune in to see who wins the high stakes virginia governors race. plus the battle in new jersey, new york city. our special live coverage starts at 6:00 p.m. eastern tonight. >>> just ahead -- it's the moment so many parents have been waiting for. covid shots for kids. could get the official sign off as soon as tonight. so how soon could your child get vaccinated? that's next here in "the situation room." w

. >> harold: it was done under barack obama. this is a reality. under him, we developed more independence than we did ever. that is something that we should be proud of. we were the first country to go to war with people, fight them and fund them to fight us at the same tie by buying all the gas products. so we have to find our way off of this. for military reasons, environmental reasons and economic reasons. i hope i answered your question. >> jesse: why can't we have our pipeline, harold? >> jeanine: that's the question to dagen. i'm going to ask dagen the question, why is it he's allowing putin to run the gas line and shuts down ours? >> dagen: because he's week and governs for the green agenda. it's really a green religion. i think he genuinely doesn't understand -- biden doesn't understand and doesn't like folks that have to drive to work for a living. he's actively taking food out of the mouth of children by driving up the cost of energy, by driving up the cost of commuting to and from work. biden's own climate lurch, john kerry said we can

an architect of those winning strategies is david plouffe, barack obama's 2008 campaign manager, a former senior adviser in the white house, and someone who all democrats turn to for insight and counsel. so interesting to have you on the big night. >> election night 2021. >> 2021. >> there we go. >> let's start with that comparison. obama and mcauliffe were under water, as you experts like to say. but managed to win. could terry mcauliffe pull that off tonight or is it different? >> no, he could. i think the question here is, this is a -- 2013 was a tough environment for terry, too. but you know, we just can't compare this election night to a year ago. okay. i think a lot of americans, including virginia, thought we would be largely done with the pandemic. delta reared its head. the economy is growing, but not as quickly as we would like. gas prices, which i will tell you, when gas prices are this high before an election, voters are really cranky. other cost of living matters. terry is a repeat candidate. that doesn't work as well these days as it used to. a bunch of things that make the

president barack obama help campaign for terry, the state's democratic elect for governor. he needs all the help he can get to secure a win. >> there is a mood, a politics of meanness. and division, and conflict. of tribalism and cynicism. that is one path, but there is another path. >> according to obama, that path is personified by terry. that means his opponent, stands for all of the unpleasant things that the former president mentioned. >> he has traveled all over virginia, it has been amazing what is happening everywhere we go. >> youngkin makes inroads with democrats who are considering going republicans. for the democrats that is a problem. >> democrats are concerned about the state of this race. he is having all of the big name democrats coming into the campaign, shows how democrats are worried about showing up there base -- turning up there base voters. >> they are frustrated with president biden's performance. >> i think that they are going to come back up when some things start to happen. when we get something done. >> i think, given the environment right now, i'

in they brought in barack obama, stacey abrams and it doesn't seem to have moved the needle. now, maybe we will find out that it did. that they brought out all these blue voters that wouldn't come. looks like a race between the candidates. glenn youngkin attached himself to real bread and butter issues. literal bread and butter issue 2.5% tax on groceries, education which is now the top issue. i would but the it this way, i think if glenn youngkin doesn't win, in this environment, facing a bad candidate with a lot of breaks that have gone his way it's hard for me to see any republican winning statewide in virginia. i think it will just be a blue state. >> bret: that's exactly right if that's what turns out. here are some sound about expectations tonight. >> i think virginia is a very important canary in a coal mine. biden has handed control much the agenda over to the radicals over the bernie sanders and aoc and elizabeth warren and i think people are horrified. i think virginia is aspect of that. >> there is a comfort level with terry that's positive. the little dynamic in t

after barack obama won the presidency in 2008, bob mcdonnell won in 2009. and what did the republicans do? they instantly elevated him to presidential status. he gave the response to the state of the union. he was going to be the he answer to you can't be obama by being a fire braething guy you have to seem mild mannered you have to carry yourself like a dentist. he was going to be their savior. and then bob mcdonnell was a terrible governor in virginia who ran on crazy policies that made no sense and that made virginia a scandal and got them boycotted nationwide. remember the mandatory vaginal ultrasound stuff? and he gets run out of office on a bizarre corruption scandal. i mean, how you comport yourself once in office is going to make the difference here. that's part of why one of the things we need to watch tonight is whether or not youngkin is going to have republican control in the state legislature. house of delegates, if that flips tonight and becomes republican controlled, he may ultimately be putting together something that looks like a governing
