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'

then barack obama gets re-elected easily two years later. this is the ebb and flow of american politics. i'm not saying it's great. i'm just saying, this is the defining feature of our time, just like, you know, for large chunks of the 19th century we had really, really crappy presidents. >> there are a couple of things. steve really kind of points them up for us. the first is understanding that, you know, 2016 is -- and '20 are presidential cycles. in between, you have the local races. so you have this national phenomena, where everybody is focused on a big name for president. then it becomes very local, which is what these governors races really reflect. and what this race in virginia says, and i think that, you know, youngkin put it right when he says, "i want to change the trajectory of the commonwealth," and he is going to focus on the local issues to help do that. he's not springing in national issues. that's what mcauliffe tried to do. he tried to tie youngkin and trump together. he tried to create this national synergy of, you know,

doors with barack obama and to the public he would say, were not going to increase the debt ceiling, we are going to stand strong. and next thing you know, here we come with a debt ceiling increase again. this led to the tea party takeover, right? in my viewpoint it seems like republicans are a lot more willing to reach out and discuss possible collaborations with the democrats. but the democrats, as they have become infiltrated with the far left, the socialist, collectivist types, they don't want to have any type of discussions, rational or otherwise, with republicans. and look, look at the squad on capitol hill. that underscores my point. host: there is a viewer who makes this analogy. she says, the republican party is the same as the reagan party today. would you agree? guest: maybe. honestly, without doing a little research to flush out my opinion. host: let's go to danville, virginia. you are on with cheryl chumley. good morning, go ahead. caller: yes, good morning. pedro, i hope you will just let me say what i'm going to say. this is what i'm saying. you know, if we as america

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

bill clinton and barack obama, two of the strongest speakers, even republicans would say, out there. incredible or raiders. they have stumped for people that lost. the reason for that is it is not bill clinton or joe biden or kamala harris or barack obama or donald trump either. it is that doesn't help them. that doesn't matter. it is the candidate, it is the issues and it is the campaign they run the race they run. you can have celebrities galore show up. at that does not move the needle and we see that election after election whether it is the end gubernatorial election or presidential election. >> well said, we will get more from leslie and jason as we continue our coverage on fox news channel, thank you so much. a quick look at the numbers again before we head to break a last check, 1200 votes separating murphy and ciattarelli. as i take a close look, a little over 1000, 1200 votes. the gop candidate hanging on despite a number of votes still out. >> who would've thought neck in new jersey, is this wake-up call for democrats? we will have more in our continuing coverage of electi

>> look, bill clinton did and barack obama did. historical precedent for democrats moving back to the middle. i was so struck, bill, that biden had many opportunities to pass that infrastructure bill to get a bipartisan deal and live up to his campaign promises of trying to unite the country and at every opportunity he essentially sided with the progressives in trying to hold his own agenda hostage to a more ambitious spending proposal that is turning out to be less and less popular by the day. so this is an opportunity for democrats to have a course correction. the results not just in virginia but in new jersey for goodness sake, 18 point state for democrats now very close in that governor's race. it is the suburbs. the moderate minded suburban voters that are revolting from where the democrats are at this point. it is showing up across the state after state. >> dana: all that you write and say over this coming week as you analyze it all for us. >> bill: do we have time to run it? kevin mccarthy, his initial react talking about th

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

obama twice. so, there is something that, there is something to my argument that is making waves within these communities that, for some reason, works and works with people who vote for democrats. these are not people who only vote for republicans. right. so, very clearly, you think that politically this is working... it's working for me. ..you are winning the races that you put money into, particularly in school board... 75... i did 58 races. so, my question to you is, what do you think it's doing to america more generally, in terms of polarisation, in terms of the culture war that we see unfolding in this country? i think that it's actually really helpful because you're looking at areas that were highly polarised towards democrats, highly highly blue, strong blue areas, and they voted for somebody candidates who were conservative. so, clearly, where i'm able to move ca...move voters who sit there and support somebody who don't necessarily have the evil r behind their name and are...and they're a

obama and a head of former state teacher union, it was a democratic campaign of the past not future, and results showed at ballot box with a overwhelming win not just glenn youngkin but most diverse ticket with winsome sears as lieutenant governor scan date. candidate. trey: republicans did not always do well with women voters are young moms, lucky for me you are both, congratulations, how can republicans note in virginia takenese lessons and apply them. >> i think bringing solution is important, issue of education. i can tell you, i think a lot about making sure he has the best education possible. republicans are the party of parents, democrats are party of the failing status quo, they prior tease teachers union instead of students and parents and teachers, this race showed that the republican party is truly the party of parents, i serve on education committee, this say growth opportunity for us to share our message. ing in economic opportunity is huge for working moms, making sure there are good paying jobs, and inflation is having an impact up and down the ballot in some ways, jud

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

obama got elected it felt like a historic moment because it. was i am a little, bit i'm gonna take a step back for politics. this feels different, why? and what do you see as the antidote. >> i think it feels different because it is not the people who are stepping back out of the sense of relief, right? i think the people who are pulling back to progressives are really very engaged. but i think plenty of people find this so poisonous that in order to preserve their own sanity the sort of have to take a step. back the total political involvement that was the aim of getting trump out of office. got people threw themselves into for four years isn't sustainable. and so i think in order for people to get involved once again, there needs to be people in the party who say that, if you fight for this, democracy can be saved. and in order to do that you need to have some sort of path to voting reform legislation. you need to have some sort of path for democracy legislation. >> yes i think that's very well said. i'll be here, and i denied out, bad feelin

obama and hillary clinton. >> when barack obama and hillary clinton are not gini ginning up concern about future elections and saying if something isn't solved about a past election that people are not going to vote. we're not telling people not to vote. >> look, democrats are saying that the election laws in this country are unfair. how does that not -- how is that different? they're saying that oh, what florida and texas and georgia are doing are unfair. if you look at what republicans are doing, the goal is 100% participation and zero percent fraud. that's not what chuck schumer is saying on the floor. i watch it and have to propose on the stuff, a federal takeover of election laws. get rid of i.d., get rid of, allow balance lot harvesting and same-day registration. that creates fraud in the next election. that's what democrats are doing. >> that's a different thing, senator. they are questioning laws that will restrict the access to vote for many people. they are not questioning the integrity of elections. they are questioning vote access. donald trump is saying that elections -

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

and the first year barack obama lost the governor's race in virginia, and his party's loss as governor's race in new jersey. and yes, in the first year donald trump was president, in 2017, his party lost the governor's race in virginia, and his party lost the governor's race in new jersey. the virginia and new jersey governor races always have been a year after presidential politics. and they always follow the same pattern. a lot of things in politics are subtle nuance and complicated. these are not one of those things. every year. after new president is elected his party loses. the governorship in virginia, and the governorship in new jersey. and this is been true all the way back through the 19. last night, it would appear that like every other president in living memory, and admitted, if you have those presidents that we forgot about, it would appear that last night the same thing just happened to joe biden that has happened to all the other presidents like call law cork. like it is written in stone. everybody freak up, the only one difference here for joe biden is that he only lost o

obama and yes, prime time to cable news anchors. this would be the grifter class. they do little but benefit greatly. as a practical matter, they are useless and have no skills. most of the time, they are a drain on the actual economy and poise into the culture. the rest of us might be happier and more prosperous if they became truck drivers are moved to paraguay. that's true, and on some level, everyone knows it is true, and because it is true, that is why these very same people spend so much time screaming about how essential they are, because it is so obvious that they aren't. things worked perfectly well before we had hr departments. on the other side of the gas price divide, you have everybody else. this group includes the people who possess about 95% of the relative skills you would need to keep a civilization going. lose these people, and it is the dark ages, literally dark, your power grids shuts down. as it happens, these are the very people who have noticed and winced at the price of filling a tank. these are the peoples b

barack obama was elected twice. while barack obama was in office, democrats lost, i believe, 1,000 legislative seats nationwide. the consequences of that for the party have been devastating. so if you're sitting out there and you want to get engaged, you want to make a difference, don't just look to congress. this is whether you're a republican or democrat, whoever you are. look to the state legislatures. by the way, the state legislatures, this is so important, we're talking about the big lie. we're talking about january 6th. do you know why that festered? because we were still counting wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia weeks later. now, leading up to the election, we said on this show time and again, and others said, those legislatures, in order to stop any questions about the legitimacy of the election, should do what the state of florida does. yes, ron desantis, governor of the state of florida, and past governors have done, and that is count all of the early votes before the polls close on election

president barack obama speaking in just a few hours? >> rosemary, barack obama's appearance will be a reminder to the world, to each country, precisely what they promised to work towards when they signed the paris agreement in 2015. that is, to cut emissions deeply enough to ensure that average-global temperature increase doesn't go beyond 1.5 celsius by the end of the century. and crucially, at this halfway point into this conference, the needle hasn't moved enough. the commitments are still desperately insufficient in terms of that ultimate goal. so, at this halfway point as the conference begins its final stretch towards the deadline at the end of the week, it's not just about identifying gaps, but specifically which gaps can potentially be closed in the remaining days? because there are still many, and they are still wide. and i think there is no doubt that emissions cuts remains the most important issue because, as i say, countries simply have not committed to do enough in order to keep the goal on track. and not just in the long-t

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 figures for this time in his presidency much worse than barack obama's the last time a democrat was in the white house. and if we look at the recent races, that is the virginia governorship, also in newjersey, the democrats performed much worse than was expected. what's going on? the presidential approval ratings are like the stock market, subject to volatility, and i would be careful not to overinterpret day—to—day fluctuations. but, frankly, they're not that volatile. there's only one trajectory for biden, and that's downward. look, we've become much more polarised and in a hyper polarised political culture, there's a ceiling on how high a president can rise in approval ratings. you know, as for the gubernatorial election in virginia, the election was largely determined by local concerns about education rather than national concerns. it appears to me that the central issue in that race was education, whether it be the school closings during covid—i9 or the teaching of critical race theory. those were concerns specific to virginia and less about what's going on in washington,

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

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'

hillary clinton's campaign when she started making progress against barack obama. snooer talking about cutting the gas pipelines. >> that election has worked for other presidents as well. >> i want to step back a little bit here and follow up on what clear was just talking about, about learning from last coos. >> we talked last week about the new york times editorial. their analysis of democrats lost in virginia and governor's race. the party. this morning the wall street journal william is giving his take. he writes in part, gubernatorial contest mainly teaching about race and it raised an ethnicity in public schools. >> three easy steps, showed how not to do with it. >> first, tell parents butt out. >> second, infuriates parents by telling them they are confused and there is no real world problem. and finally accused of republican candidates of blowing a whistle. the bottom line is time for democrats to get serious of the problem they created for themselves in decades long, drift towards progressivism that repels the voters. >> they node to build a national major

pushing for an urgent response is the former us president barack obama. getting a rock star reception here and saying it's not too late. our planet has been wounded by our actions. those wounds won't be healed today or tomorrow or the next. but they can be healed. and addressing young activists, he appealed to them to keep up the pressure for change. the most important energy in this movement is coming from young people. applause they have more at stake in this fight than anybody else. you are right to be frustrated. folks of my generation have not done enough to deal with a potentially cataclysmic problem that you now stand to inherit. many young people have suffered cataclysm already. a typhoon in the philippines eight years ago claimed 6,000 lives, and one survivor, the daughter of a fisherman, fears more violent weather to come. i have seen death myself, i have seen my family struggle. i still have so many dreams in this lifetime. i'm just 2a years old. i still want to have my family. i still want to have children. but i don't even know if they will h

when barack obama said what do you want me to do wave a magic wand to bring back manufacturing jobs? donald trump focused on that and tried to make it happen. they're doing the opposite. >> harris: secretary granholm we would like to see the magic wand. "saturday night live" faced feedback. >> suicide by cop was elected -- was elected as virginia's first black female lieutenant governor. this is actually a win for democrats. nothing will get republicans to support gun control faster than this picture. >> harris: posted the photo in response to criticism from hill. after they upset democrats in virginia last week hill tweeted it's not the messaging, folks. the country loves white supremacy. team winsome responded with the photo we beg to differ. >> all the white supremacists who voted for a black lieutenant female governor. the laughter in this club. me as a supporter of the second amount cares whether it's a black or white woman. they are the ones being racist about it. we a grateful for the service of someone like ms. sears and speak the truth. now they say she is speaking white wor

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.

you know, michael flynn is somebody who should have never been national security adviser, barack obama warned donald trump famously, don't hire michael flynn. and yet he brought him into the mix. if donald trump becomes president again, what is to stop a mike flynn from becoming defense secretary. it is going to be a whole lot easier for a secretary of defense michael flynn to order people to seize ballot boxes if he's in charge of the pentagon. one of the things i, you know, experienced, brianna, covering the trump administration, there were people, you know, various levels of the federal government, who are willing to sort of put the brakes on the crazies inside the trump administration, and fortunately that's what we saw in this episode. there were people in the flynn episode according to carl's book who are basically saying, no, to michael flynn. people who are going over to the justice department and saying we need to go back and recount these ballots in various states. there are people at the justice department saying, no, so, i mean, thankfully we did have people at various leve

bush hundred 20006, and he said there had been a thumping of this party and barack obama percent in 2010, there had been a shellacking but present biden deflected these questions whether or not he was responsible pretty. reporter: we're just talking about the importance of the white house press corps, that room being full of people who are able to ask tough questions is somewhat scandalous and that the only questions about this usually important border policy will only ask by peter ducey and david - and there should be dozens of reporters asking these tough instead of what we suffer people like is like what can we do to help the democratic party going forward pretty. >> they did asked do you bear personal responsibility and present biden said well yes fix it whenever and so just sort of well i don't know the infrastructure built it would help or not. >> i don't thank you so much on the part of present vitamin there also have not been the same type of tenacious question asking and asking a question without tough follow-up is not really that notable is really only one instance in the entir

they did not rebound as well as barack obama did. you combine that with solid turnout above presidential level numbers for glenn youngkin in rural areas and that was a politically deadly combination for terry mcauliffe. judy: we could show our viewers a graphic that shows glenn youngkin pulled in 53% of suburban voters in virginia compared to former president trump, 45%, just last november. james, looking at these results of your party, what went wrong? james: what went wrong was stupid wokeness. look at buffalo, minneapolis, seattle, washington. this defund the police lunacy, take abraham lincoln's name off of schools, people see that. it has a suppressive effect across the country. some of these people need to go to a woke detox center. it is language people don't use and there is a backlash and frustration at that. you are right, suburbanites in northern virginia and northern new jersey pulled away a bit. you never ran any ads against biden. what he did was let the democrats hold the pin and watch the grenade go off. we have to ch

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

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

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,

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

but throughout the process, we were focused on one thing, and that was barack obama's polling numbers. his magic number for us was 46. we felt if he was at or below that, we'd take back the house, and ultimately right before the elections he was at 45 and we had a big election night. it's easy to focus on all the other things. think of how many conversations we've had on critical race theory in the past month or so. it all comes down to what the president's approval rating is, whether he's going to lift votes or sink votes, and democrats are either going to sink or swim based on what joe biden's approval ratings are. >> staying in virginia and focusing on the lesson there, one thing glen youngkin, the republican, now governor-elect, also did is keep donald trump at an arm's distance. maggie haberman is reporting that trump delivered a clear message at a republican congressional campaign dinner last night saying that youngkin would have lost without his support, saying that maga support is the only way to win. with that in mind, i want to play for you what a youngkin campaign adviser s

joe biden, when he was vice president of barack obama was standing arm in arm. there is a different relational aspect there. >> different vibe. >> very different vibe. is there a connection? are there two separate, i guess, wings of the white house, if you will, beyond the east wing and the west wing? is there the vice presidential wing versus the president's wing? yes, there is. when the issue of haiti came out, she made a ruckus about it. it wasn't taken seriously. she's also talked to people -- >> so some of this is real? >> some of this is real. she's also talked to activists who are out there about voting rights. the president doesn't want to deal with the issue of the filibuster right now. and every time i ask the question, you can see the consternation in the room from the press office. >> a former high-level harris aide told the white house they're consistently sending her out there on losing issues in the wrong situations for her skillset. have they done that a little bit here with kamala harris? i mean, putting her in charge of the border stuff is not

nearly a billion dollars to celebrate barack obama. just in case you're wondering what the definition of narcissism. we don't mcto pick on obama, he's hardly alone. most people in barack obama's position, which is to say in a position of authority that might actually help people, prefer to talk about chicago rather than actually make it better for the people who live there. there is one exception to this, at least one, someone who has authority who is committed to making the city a place normal people can live. you've met him before, an alder man from chicago, raymond lopez, and we're happy to have him join us tonight. thank you for joining us. it's so frustrating to watch this because it does seem like things are falling apart. if chicago students didn't have to take lyft to their dorms, what will it take to get people interested in improving the actual living conditions of the people who reside in chicago? >> you know, under the leadership of lori lightfoot the city of chicago is flying off the rails because of the violent that's all

the house held eric, then attorney general for barack obama, and contempt and the justice department frees to prosecute that. there's politics all over these kinds of cases. >> mo: you've already alluded to this in your early conversation. what happens with steve bannon may be different than what happens with others. he was not there. he was not in the white house. he talked about this on air the day before. there's no way to make executive privilege claim. whether or not others are successful in that, that will play out. whether or not you are in government, that will play out. this sends a very strong message that they are not playing around and that they want to get to the truth. this is unprecedented and it's going to be treated as such. we went julie, we are talking about all of the reasons that te steve bannon cases is differentn washington concerned that it could open up a dangerous precedent. seeing the willingness of the biden administration to go after steve bannon and potentially go after people with a stronger case like the white house chief of staff mark meadows, this op

host: former president barack obama at that climate change summit earlier this month. taking your phone calls, about 15 minutes left in this segment of the washington journal, asking your party affiliation story. what makes you a democrat, republican, independent? gail, what makes you a democrat? caller: i graduated from college in 2017 with a master's degree. after i graduated, i had a lot of time on my hands where i wanted to study. i started studying politics. my first time studying politics in my life. i did so much research on the history of the democrats and republicans and what they stand for. what i have learned in the last four years his history shows that are most -- best presidents were democrats. john f. kennedy, lyndon b. johnson, roosevelt, clinton, obama, all our top presidents. because, if you look at history, and this is what the republicans refused to acknowledge, pell grant, medicaid, medicare, social security, peace corps, minimum wage laws, the program where children can have health insurance, clinton -- obama did the health care. clinton did the y

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
