we seen a couple members of congress and the squad rashida tlaib and alexandria ocasio-cortez pushing to lower bail and empty prisons. meanwhile you mentioned what was happening in san francisco bay area where looters are running wild because of the city had sent a message that it would not prosecute property crimes up to $950. now they're stealing everything. these are all the result of policy that have been enacted in the last couple of years and were getting a hangover, really, really fast. gerry: it does look as though democrats seem to have abandoned many of the principles that we understand about protection of the citizen and the rights of individuals because of the progressive as byron describes it, progressive dominance in the last couple of years. as a democratic party getting this right? >> i think we were getting everything wrong is to connect an increase in crime to partisanship to blame democrats entirely for an increase in crime that is pandemic driven. let's keep in mind it's an increase in violent crime not property crime. i don't know where to begin to unpack all of t

the timing of this is alexandria ocasio-cortez, i think it was jamie raskin and carol maloney who signed the letter. you're spitting in the faces of the families who lost loved ones, you are spitting in the face of the people who are suffering by the timing of this. aoc and believe in getting rid of the prison system in this country, she uses the worse carceral system. they want to get rid of prisons, why? because they don't believe that people should pay for crimes, crimes don't exist. she must be clearly deafen by her own ego mania to say this on this day. maria: yeah, exactly. i mean, on this very day where we just saw this maniac who paid bail to be out on the street in wisconsin, killed 5 people and injured so many others, steve. steve: well, that's right, you can always can count sadly on aoc to provide republican advertising in the next election. she never fails come through with her crazy socialist agenda. this is absolutely anarchy. she assumes that people don't commit crimes but you know that she and her ilk want protection from those who would attack them physically but others

democratic democrat congresswoman representative alexandria ocasio-cortez calls the package watered down and she tells president biden to bypass congress and make the package or law. i spoke with house minority leader kevin mccourty-- kevin mccarthy on sunday morning futures after his epic speeches on a night. here's what he said. >> if it fails in the senate it dies, but if the senate changes, any senate-- changes have to come back to the house so we have another bite at the apple here and i want people to know it's in the bill. i want people to know what they are doing at this big government socialism isn't working. we now know that the president and the democrats have been lying to us all along saying the bill was paid for, but why? for bigger government. this is what happens when you have one party rule. maria: joining me now is pennsylvania congressman foreign affairs committee member dann meuser. great to see you and thank you for being here. your reaction to what happens now, the house obviously past that after kevin mccarthy's marathon long speech delayed it until the next mornin

david: alexandria hoff, thank you very much. appreciate it. fox news correspondent rich edson who is live in richmond. rich is following democrat candidate terry mcauliffe who is really in the political fight of his life. is he not, rich? reporter: yeah he is, david. he won governor of this state before. you know is trying to recapture that. he is running in a tough time especially the polling. he is in roanoke, on his way from roanoke to a brewery. there has been a lot of breweries in the the campaign as well as youngkin campaign. he is going across the states trying to get democrats on the polls tuesday, early voting back when that was in play earlier in the campaign. mcauliffe's attacks on republican glenn youngkin is grown more aggressive. his time in private equity with the carlyle group and him on social, economic issues. mcauliffe denied he was trying to make the campaign a referendum on former president donald trump but mcauliffe mentions trump at nearly every event. >> a person who has been endorsed by donald trump 10 times. tonight c

alexandria ocasio-cortez understands that the massive social spending plan is in trouble. the senate is very likely to make big changes that she does not like. so, she's given an interview to the new york times where she holds the president's feet to the fire. she's saying don't cave to the margarets. the present has promised to be faithful to the far left, "so if those promises don't follow through, she says, it's going to be very very difficult for them to get votes on anything moving forward. that's a threat. if you don't go with us, the socialists, you get nothing ." she actually goes further. she says the president could fix student loans and immigration using executive action, but, says aoc, he's choosing not to. those are her words. she's disappointed and calling out the president, and she's particularly upset the progressives were not invited to terry mcauliffe's campaign in virginia. she calls that a mistake, implying that if the socialists had their way, the democrats would have been elected. that's a stretch. that interview is an obvious signal of civil war with

so what do you make of your fellow congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez's comments there? congresswoman: well, good morning, dagen, always good to see you. the group of member that is didn't vote for the infrastructure bill have had concerns for months that if a vote occurred on one bill that other issues that they care are very much about that are in the build back better bill might not be considered. they made their decision to send a message that we needed both bills, that's how they sent the message and i respect all of my colleagues, republicans and dems. a lot of republicans didn't vote for this bill that are still very excited that the money is going to be spent on roads and bridges in their districts and i will make you a bet right now, they will go out and take credit for the federal dollars when that money is being used to fix roads in their districts. dagen: were you surprised on how many republicans got on board with it? congresswoman: i was not because i talked to them a lot. i'm somebody that works with every member of congress. i respect them, i listen to th

he went to old town alexandria, democrat stronghold if there ever for one it was early morning, hundreds of people that shutdown the intersection from a it was interesting because you don't normally see this type of thing in virginia. kennedy: it's interesting, you think fox news pool that had been up by eight points late last week, do you think that was an outlier or do you think terry mcauliffe is in real trouble quests. >> it is an outlier if you take it out and average the rest of the polls, it shows are completely tied race there have been other polls showing youngkin is actually ahead in late pulling. virginia has always been a little difficult but we will find out. the other issue though, ballots should be accepted if they don't coming with the last four digits of their social security number so all the election integrity issues might come into play, they been working on that for years. kennedy: it's interesting you say that because mcauliffe hired mark elias whose partner was indicted in the durham probe so he's a well-known democrat operative lawyer so they may go on the offensi

alexandria ocasio-cortez writing president and house leadership promised build back better will pass. we hope they are right but how much of the bill survives that we're giving away so many leverage is the question. neil where this plays in the midterms, while the white house doesn't seem to look at the poles that indicate people are not really on board with the spending. while progressives are not paying attention to it, moderates up for re-election, moderate democrats certainly have to pay attention to what is being said. neil? neil: got it. thank you very much, hillary vaughn at the capitol right now. by the way the whole infrastructure push, even though the president won't formally sign this next week until congress returns from break, it has been up until today helping the likes of caterpillar, united rentals, nucor, vulcan materials, a host of others that would presumably be very actively involved in this reconstruction effort. let's get the read from congresswoman nicole malliotakis of the great state of new york. one of those dozen or so republicans who voted for this measure.

united states is a man from sumner county named isaac franklin who became very wealthy buying slaves in alexandria, virginia and transporting them initially, he made them walk by land through here and they put them on boats later and took them around florida to new orleans and up the river but he became one of the wealthiest men in the country in the slave business and there's a new book called the ledger and the chain in which the historian is taken all the financial records, this would be such tedious work and really drew some conclusions about isaac franklin's lucrative business so cotton wasn't just cotton. cotton meant enslaved people and that made the population of west tennessee grow so rapidly. let's move forward fast to secession and the civil war. east tennessee, mom and pop farms, no need for enslaved people, they can't raise cotton, the land is not right. it is hard subsistence farming. west tennessee are grow cultural abundance, lots of cotton being raised over there and in middle tennessee, we are the pivot of the seesaw if you will. are we going to vote with west tennessee on issues

reporter: as democrats try to connect with voters in the middle house speaker nancy pelosi and alexandria ocasio-cortez have been in scotland. they have been discussing climate change. neil? neil: thank you, chad pergram on all of that. we had a commands to talk to tulsi gabbard recently, former hawaii congresswoman, former presidential candidate. she blames her party's real extreme lurch to the left for a lot of this. take a look. you know close to half of democrats, this is before what transpired in virginia and, in new jersey, closer than expected gubernatorial contest there, didn't think that joe biden would be their ideal presidential nominee in 2024. how do you feel about that? >> i think that the american people, it's clear as we saw in virginia, it is a positive sign they're rejecting the kind of divisiveness, racialization of everything in this country, the fomenting of anger and hatred that unfortunately we're seeing coming from so many of my fellow democrat. neil: she is just the latest. others like james carville is saying stop being so woke because you will wake up the day af
