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

. >> yeah, i mean, one of the challenges of being president, whether you are donald trump or barack obama or joe biden is you are actually seen as the leader of the country. if things go well you get the advantage, if things go badly you get the punishment, people are looking out, you know, kamala harris, to her credit, why back when she was visiting vietnam, had this cryptic comment where she said, you know, you better be ordering your christmas gifts early because she had been briefed on the logistics supply chain problem. the problem they have got is they didn't do anything about it buttigieg who could be responsible took two months off for parental lead by the time you cabinet manage almost unimaginable. he hasn't solved anything. the secretary of energy asked about what she was going to do about gasoline prices broke up laughing as if she were kamala harris. people look as the this total lack of ability to get anything done and they blame the president. that's just how life works in a free society. you elect them. they either deliver or you decide not to re-elect them. steve: sure. u

this is stephanie cutter, she used to be an adviser for barack obama. >> one thing that we need to make sure that republicans in 2022 don't become is the party of parents. >> um-huh. >> because we need to be the party of parents. [laughter] and we are. we are the ones that care about school funding. we are the ones that care about making sure that parents can send their kids to school because they have jobs to go to all of this we need to observe that agenda we cannot let it go. it's not just about critical race theory. it's coming out of covid. it's parental frustration. parents being involved in their kids' schooling. ainsley: ains they are not the party of the parents. they're the parties of the unions the teachers unions they listen to what they say. the parents you talk to out in middle america, they are worried about what our kids are learning in school. they are worried about taxes. they are worried about how much gas it's going to cost when they have to drive their kids to school every day and parents of veterans are worried about how joe biden handled afghanistan. brian: also,

but i also think to drill down on what barack obama said when he came. instead of acknowledging that there were issues with schools and we should look at them, he called it a trumped up culture war where president biden came, had a 60 minute speech. he mentioned trump dozens of times. nobody really thinks donald trump had anything to do with it. and when mcauliffe said instead of crt here's how i would change it. he said it didn't exist. he also said parents have no role in education. that the teachers faces are too white and then, of course, linking trump and charlottesville together fell flat. he never adjusted which is astounding. because this guy was a strategist getting other people elected, he couldn't handle a re-election for the most part because he won the first time in a state that he was supposed to have known so well. steve: terry mcauliffe was establishment candidate. he has been establishment candidate and politician his entire career. with quite understandably the establishment media when it was quite clear that republican in the fleece ve

nantucket seems to be a common theme here with joe biden and barack obama. but, right at the heart of when they are trying to put this mask mandate on every single american. then you have got the president happy birthday, mr. president. hope you have fun. but everybody should be able to have that kind of party. not just the elites. carley: i know. that was the whole thing. great that you are having this birthday party. imthink that everybody should be allowed to have one. but when you are telling other people to mask up and not hang out with each other and then you have this giant party that was supposed to be like hundreds and hundreds of people it was the hypocrisy of 2021 that seeing. also, number 4, i forgot about this one as well. i'm glad you brought it up. the white house posted a tweet and i think it was fourth of july. it says the cost of a 4th of july cookout in 2021 is down 16 cents from last year. shouldn't be touting 1 cents. i don't know. >> america, i hope you invested that 16 cents because you probably gobbled that up in gas prices just pulli

we have examples of barack obama , the cambridge police act. brian: joey reed. >> they got it wrong inferring you son, baltimore, with uva, with duke lacrosse, every single time we got it right but richard jewel taught me never to rush to judgment, that i believe in the presumption of innocence, due process, these things that they, the sad part of this is this. they create a perception in the community. there's going to be a certain result. they do this without any evidence ever presented and then when it doesn't come out that way people feel like the system is rigged. ainsley: you saw on msnbc they just showed prosecutions closing arguments and not the defense so you only got one side of the story. steve: that's nuts. >> of course. does that really shock you any more? it's sad. steve: they are trying to shape the narrative. they want to only present one side, or you know, and the judge said that all these legal analysts came out and said why isn't anyone ruled on this mistrial motion yet and he said i just got it, it's too early. once upon a t

once again the president -- we thought it was big when barack obama said the police acted stupidly when the professor went to his house and -- controversy first year in the office. what about the fact that the president, again, biden called him a white supremacist. steve: tweeted out a video that branded people in the video including him a white supremacist. brian: think about how this whole case was skewed. how hard it is to sit a jury and how everyone rushed to this conclusion exfor the people that actually saw the video and thought i hope cooler heads would prevail. whole picture, this is exactly right defunding and changing political science result you had in. the police were there. they kept their hands off. they have been told they are the problem. that's what led to all this chaos. ainsley: takes us back to a tough time in our country. steve: city leaders in kenosha said let it burn, essentially. let it burn. ainsley: friends of ours sent us video who live in manhattan all those riots taking place. live in apartment buildings and businesses on the main floor that were getting loo

and number two is, it's also clear that barack obama was briefed that the hillary clinton campaign was looking to distract from her email probe by trumping up a connection between russia and trump. do you understand what's going on here? this keeps going back to hillary clinton's campaign. and what is really insidious and sinister, is that she kept it going after she lost. and it hurt this country. forget about president trump. really hurt trump but it hurt our country for the next three and a half years and cost us millions of dollars. and made us look like the laughing stock of the world. and vladimir putin might have given dolan this information to danchenko to steele to us. that's why he is playing it. and that's why trump was sitting there saying are you kidding me? what about my russian links. what adam schiff just showed you how distracted he is. he said the ukraine, he asked russia to help. the ukrainian probe, trying to get stuff -- had nothing to do with the question. what happened with russia, one day he made a comment hey, russia, if you have any more emails, bring it forwa

brian: see i don't think it should be, because even barack obama was not going to endorse joe biden until the primaries played out. i think it's pretty typical and plus, we don't even know if he's running for re-election. i don't think it's automatic that you endorse your vice president. steve: i would. if you pick them to be vice president why not pick them to be president. brian: nixon wasn't endorsed until the end. ainsley: maybe he's looking at those ratings, 28%? maybe she couldn't win. steve: listen both of them, both biden and harris are suffering from the american public is upset about the fact that stuff costs so much and when you can get it, which is not all the time, sometimes it's hard to get , but nonetheless, they're all putting it on joe biden's plate. watch. >> real contrast to what joe biden and kamala harris are trying to do, and the worst thing a politician can do is to run one way and govern another. joe biden said he's going to be a uniter and moderate the country and bring it together. he has governed like he's left of fdr, and independents who voted for him, last no

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

if barack obama comes out publicly and says there's no such thing as critical race theory. we're not teaching it, you know you are over the target. you know you are right on it that is proof to me of that. and i will tell you, i'm really encouraged by parents and by the way we will have a panel of moms who have been on the forefront of exposing crt. i am encouraged by parents at the school boards but i also think there is two things that we need to focus on besides just crt. we need to focus on school choice. every child and parent should have a right to go to whichever school they want so there could be a marketplace for ideas and values in schools. and, two, while it's great we are looking at schools, don't forget about the most powerful place that crt is being taught. it's on your child's phone big tech is peddling this as well. you have much less control over what your kids with l. see and how it's tucked into virtually every message they get. pete: watch a little bit of nickelodeon or disney which i'm forced to do on occasion and i do like sponge bob. it's not in spong

obama -esque figure waiting to burst onto the scene and save the party it seems hard to see and with all the speculation and all the media focus on the republican side of the party in charge right now, it's leaderless essentially and this may be the high point for all we know because as the clock ticks as we are almost into december there's no legislative accomplishments to point to and if we go into another discussion and hyperbolic situation about covid and the latest variant it will sidetrack things further. joe biden's presidency is at the mercy of the pandemic and unfortunately that's not a position any politician should put themselves in, but it's the bar he said when he said he would quote crushed about-- a virus when he was running last year. pete: absolutely. he speculated with bernie sanders whose 80 and representative alexandria ocasio-cortez , she's barely 24 and then you threw names out there, hillary clinton and john kerry, i mean, do you really think they would go backwards in 2024 or the name everyone is talking about right now is secretary pete buttigieg. >> right an

that reminds me of barack obama in 2,016 rear when he said, would you like me to have a magic wand to bring manufacturing jobs back to america, what would you like me to do about that? turns out, you didn't need a magic wand, you just needed a brain and policies that worked, that brought companies to actually come back which is exactly what donald trump did. see what they don't have the answers they play dumb and say oh, what do you want me to have a magic wand? no, if you put some policies in place they can work. will: it reminds me of what they said just a few weeks ago perhaps days ago when it comes to the supply chain crisis. what do you want us to do it's a global problem the supply chain crisis is not our fault. you're right if you bill yourself as the problem solver that government is the solution to all of our problems you can't just pull the rip cord on a problem you don't have the answer to. well this one is not for me. rachel: but this is worse than any, because this is a situation they created. we were energy-independent. our gas prices were low. our economy was doing bett
