one, the loudoun county school board terminate scott zeigler as superintendent. >> trace: we'll get to the rest in just a minute. ian prior let that group and worked in the trump administration's doj. ian, thanks for coming on. we had parents saying the school board new about this sexual assault. in that news conference, there's people yelling at you saying you don't have proof, you don't have proof. do you have the proof they're asking for, ian? >> well, you know, we don't have direct proof in terms of them under oath making a statement admitting it. you can draw the lines with a lot of the evidence that has come out. in their own statement, loudoun county public schools says the school board didn't have specific details of the incident. if they didn't have any details of the incident, loudoun county public schools would have come out and stated that no one on the school board knew. they didn't do that. also, there was nothing in the statement saying that the superintendent didn't know. so draw the conclusions, extrapolate from that statement. seems clear that someone on the loudoun c

in loudoun county public schools. i have eight seconds left. mr. garland, i sent a letter to the department of justice and have not gotten a response. will you commit to responding? >> the gentleman's time is expired. ms. bass? >> thank you, mr. chair. attorney general garland, in 2014, 12-year-old tamir rice was tragically and fatally shot by a cleveland police officer. since then we have learned that despite multiple requests by prosecutors in the civil rights division to investigate this shooting, the case stalled without approval from doj officials who had political concerns about high visibility police cases. ultimately department officials ran the clock out for statute of limits fored department of justice charges. former a.g. barr formally ended the inquiry into the killing. this year her family requested that they reopen the investigation into tamir's murder. according to a spokesperson, the letter has been received. i wonder if you could tell us today if theepartmen■j has reviewed the letter and if you know

a loudoun county parent whose daughter took part in the walk out. where are the feminists rushing in to condemn this school board in loudoun county and their role in covering this up and also the politicians? >> this is a mortifying moment. there are dads and moms across the country, survivors ever sexual assault should rally to support this family. the dad was trying to warn other parents this is what the right thing to do. they are rejecting shame and blame and they are being targeted. i am embarrassed and ashamed that feminists are not standing up to support this family. i am embarrassed and ashamed there is not a chorus calling out the horrific treatment of this young lady who is a minor. there is so much wrong with the way this young woman is being treated. it almost seems like bizarre. like punishing the parents and this family for speaking out. i am a survivor of rape in childhood and an advocate. i have walked with rape survivors going through the judicial process. >> laura: that's awful. >> thank you. that judge could have had her testify i

this is turning loudoun county our direction. not just loudoun county. all of northern virginia. you watch, we're going to do better in northern virginia than any republican has done in a long time. we just might win loudoun county. [cheers] >> brian: that would probably deliver you the state because if you can make up a 20-point gap. glen glenn, i'm getting a lot of reports you have only one vest. can you confirm or deny that? >> i have multiple vests but i'm telling you this is my lucky one. [laughter] >> you may have seen me bury a 3 pointer the other night challenged barack obama in a game on one-on-one. he hasn't taken me up yet. i'm telling you i'm ready this vest is going to take me home. we are going to win on november 2nd. folks i can't wait to be the next governor of virginia. >> brian: i don't know what you are on looks like day one of the campaign instead of the back stretch seven days away. glenn youngkin thanks for starting your day and ending your day with me i appreciate it? >> thank you very, very much. have great time. thank you. [cheers] >> brian: he is pumped

what is it like being a conservative in a heavily democratic loudoun county, virginia, school board? well, tonight we speak to a man in that unique position who gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what's going on. plus, new piece in "the washington post" reveals what the left wants for america. to have less, and to suffer of course. congress when jim jordan, mark green explains how this messaging is all about the 2022 midterms, but first, rule and ruin, the portland experience. that's the focus of tonight angle number one. now, not long ago portland, oregon, was hailed as the model city, proof that radical progressives could create a wealthy urban utopia, albeit with a hippie granola sort of vibe to it. lefty comics even created an entire tv show called "portlandia, remember that? it was shouted accolades as its depiction of portland is up quirky fun little city run by friendly vegans and environmentalists. and remember all of those keep portland weird signs and t-shirts? well, maybe they should focus on keeping portland safe instead. >> according to portland police, they responded

loudoun county is growing in population but it's school enrollment is dropping meaning the schools are losing state funding and the super rich and ultra liberal fairfax county schools are also seeing trouble on the horizon. we warned them if they keep their schools close for in person living while doubling down the curriculum with antiracism and equity parents would start pulling their kids out and that is exactly what is happening, the district is still down 10,000 students from their pre-pandemic levels. what happened? they moved their children to private or parochial schools, others opted for homeschooling, others went to areas of the country were schools were operating in person and yet school leaders according to this piece acknowledge that when it comes to students who have been in classrooms free pandemic they say they have no idea where they have gone. they haven't been disappeared by a magician and these people who don't know where the kids have gone are in charge of your kids education. this is absolutely terrifying, but don't worry, their priorities include pairing back on a

assaults that were essentially swept under the rug in loudoun county, did the surprise you? >> certainly the circumstances of those should be surprising and appalling for everybody but they really did not at least as far as the first incident, parents around loudoun county have known about that since late june after the individual was arrested, for members of the school board to say we did not know about it is trenches the balance of reason, when you heard the superintendent, he answered at a school board meeting that he was not aware of any sexual assault and bathrooms, that was on june 22 the event we were talking about was may 28, he came on the press conference and said i misunderstood the question, then you just admitted that you do about it, you knew about the sexual assault in a bathroom yet you still pushed through a change gender bathroom policy in august, i am sorry but i cannot believe her a second that he would not have told the chairwoman of the school board what was going on. jon: for those parents and elsewhere in the country this and about the boy wearing a s

loudoun county father scott smith arrested after loudoun county superintendent scott ziggler said there wasn't evidence of assaults occurring in school rest rooms. now that a juvenile judge found it happen the family attorney says, quote: the smith tammy stands stronger than ever in moving forward to ensure that response from the loudoun county school system are held accountable. >> consent agenda please raise your hand and say aye. >> that set the staining for school board this evening national school board's association on september 29th said actions parents were taken at school board meetings were equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes. the organization later apologized. days later, nsba president viola garcia was appointed to the national assessment governing board to help oversee student progress nationally. then attorney general merrick garland laid out how the justice department would respond to threats against school officials. >> the job of the department of justice working with state and local law enforcement is to prevent violence. >> prominent g.o.p. offi

that's not what has been going on in loudoun county. it is all 1-sided. jillian: the county sheriff's enough announced a teenager from ashburn has been charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student, that suspect remains held at the loudoun county juvenile detention center, the name of the suspect cannot be released due to the fact that the juvenile. you say this is the same boy who sexually assaulted your daughter. how do you know that? >> this is the sexual predator that assaulted my daughter. we were under the impression from the prosecutor that the sexual predator was being held with an ankle monitor and would not return to school until these court sessions were done. you are innocent until proven guilty. i understand that but we do have to protect everyone at the same time. i was told by everyone, the prosecuting attorneys, friends of the family, people i don't even know if i wanted justice for my daughter i needed to keep my mouth quiet and not speak out because in order to get justice for my daughter which is the most important thing

a child was raped in loudoun county public schools. what is wrong society as a whole? we can't come together to say that is wrong? i don't understand. >> laura: what these parents do need to understand, as long as loudoun county remains a one-party county and virginia a one-party state, you can expect these abuses to continue, these types of commonwealth attorneys to get elected to. none of these officials actually feared recalled, especially if one they have a media covering up for them. remember the press echoed the narrative that attacks of this nature wouldn't happen. one of the loudoun county school superintendents, we learned this conveniently used to cover the alleged assault against smith's daughter. >> the issue of assaults taking place with transgender students assaulting other students, "time" magazine in 2016 called that a red herring. >> laura: what an idiot, it's time to call him out, these people for what they are, they are despicable. it's time for real accountability from virginia officials, democrats, and the media. joining me now dinesh d'souza conse

lawrence, what a folks talking about in leesburg and loudoun county? reporter: good morning, family. a lot of new polls coming out showing the president is tanking when it comes to inflation, the border. we want to know how that is impacting the virginia race for governor. we also have new polling showing it is a dead heat for that governor's race. we will be talking about education, economy and also the border and how the president national agenda is impacting virginia and then i will get to this only because ainsley told me too do so. back to you in new york. brian: lawrence, good morning. brian: did they tell me how many-- tell you happy days you will be away? how do you know how much to pack? reporter: i went to the store yesterday to get this jacket and a producer set i think you need a new jacket so i bought it and now i'm running out of close. brian: miscellaneous on the expense report. ainsley: i have an idea. reporter: i hope the company will pay for it, but we don't know. ainsley: i have an idea. you should put in the cookbook that recipe bec

at these newly obtained documents revealed a loudoun county sheriff complained about the school board asking law enforcement to clean up its mess. sheriff mike chapman's rationale for denying extra support to school board meetings, the school board unilaterally decided to limit public comment. it unilaterally decided to hire a security firm with metal to detectors. the school board made all of these decisions without consultation with the loudoun county sheriff's office. at six of school board members brought this to bear by creating antiracist groups on social media and the loudoun county sheriff's office has been made to appear as the muscle for the school board and worked at the school board direction. after june 22nd the loudoun county sheriff's office and it sheriff chapman received a national criticism for being the bad guy including death threats. emails from august to show the loudoun county sheriff's office rejected what it said were extraordinary security requests from the school board and loudoun county has been ground zero for much of the pushback from parents about what's

john beatty, the loan conservative member of the loudoun county school board. if you can, take us behind-the-scenes of what it is like to the extent we have in person meetings now. what is going on there? america wants to know. >> it has been a crazy past couple years and i think the most important part is i'm grateful to be part of this, to be a voice for the parents, standing up for them, for all the things that are going on. they need a voice. many parents think the school board doesn't listen to them. they come to public comment and speak and the school board isn't listening. i'm listening to them, reading their emails, making sure their voice is heard when we have deliberation that events come up. neil: 9 when you say voices heard that sounds like political speak. what does that mean, voices heard? don't they want kids taught, they don't want this car in schools. they want them caught the basics, they don't want politics. >> they don't want politics. with the equity committee, critical race theory ideology, all the teaching plans, they encourage teachers t

from loudoun county, virginia, outside washington, d.c. a ninth grade girl, 14, reportedly sexually assaulted in a bathroom by a self-described g transgender student wearing a skirt. the girl's father is called scott smith and he says the school district covered up the incident. on june 22nd, he went to a school board meeting to protest what he called a cover-up. he waso not allowed to protest. he was arrested and beaten by the police. on msnbc, the race lady applauded this and said it was all deserved.ai >> the fight to vilify critical race theory occurring mostly in the confines of twitter and fox news, is taking over school board meetings. in some cases turning into a literal fight. like what you see here in loudoun county, virginia, where a publict. meeting over lessonsn race and the proposed policy on equity for transgender students devolved into mayhem with audience members displaying aggressive behavior. >> tucker: so that guy showed up because he believed his 14-year-old daughter was raped in a bathroom. he tries to talk about it a

loudoun county which was more likely to be for the governor, i think now it will go for youngkin. that's a huge swing from where they have been. i think this could get down to the point where either youngkin wins by a big margin or it comes down to a very late count in fairfax county which is the biggest county voting. they already announced they will vote very late. it will be interesting to see if that's like georgia or whether the youngkin lawyers are better able to stop any funny business. right now i would say youngkin is on offense and the governor is on defense. i think this is still a purple state. it was drifting blue, but this administration is going to turn most of america red. i think virginia is caught up in the same wave as most of the country outside of the heavily unionized states like california or new york. in new jersey republicans are within 4 points of the democratic governor and that's way traditional blue state. >> sean: as the swamp has grown so too has the democratic population. two perspectives. one is youngkin pulls this off which would be a huge politic

carley: loudoun county, scott smith, we, he is suing the loudoun county school district because he says his daughter was raped in a school bathroom and school officials turned a blind eye. >> my daughter was sexually assaulted in may of last year. this happened the last week of may, school ended and the school board and school system went on summer break and abandoned us. >> smith got arrested at a school board meeting in june after he says he tried to tell people about his daughter's assault and no one would listen and then there's this from the daily wire, loudoun county public school did not record multiple known instances of alleged sexual assaults in schools dating back several years despite a law that requires statistics about school safety incidents to be reported to the public and that is why there is so much public outrage from parents who say they should have known about this. the person suspected of assaulting stops is scott smith's daughter, accused of doing it again. todd: these are kids. a new battle in the desantis biden war. jillian: ron desantis challenging the vaccine

less than a decade ago, loudoun counties was a swing county. what glenn youngkin and the republicans are trying to do, they don't think they're going to win loudoun county. they're trying to come closer than donald trump did. if they can do that, if they can peel back some of those gain that's democrats made in places like loudoun county in northern virginia, then they have a shot at pulling off the outright victory a week from now in virginia breaking it down like steve can. steve, thanks. >>> a woman in strir beach just sold $31.8 million worth of counterfeit coupons to shoppers and used that money to finance her own home renovations and vacations. fbi investigators said when they served lori ann talon a search warrant, they found fake coupons in every crevice of the house. she knew how to manipulate bar code toes make these coupons work using different techniques. she was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to mail, wire and health care fraud. >>> still to come, we have a strawberry filling fiasco insi the lawsuit against k

catie beck is in loudoun county now. catie, you were at that school board meeting. what in the world happened? >> reporter: well, many parents at that meeting, steph, advocating that their outrage is real. more than 130 parents spoke before the board last night. most of them focused on one incident. thousand school administration handled a sexual assault case. now, back in may, there was an alleged assault that happened inside a bathroom at a loudoun county school. a male allegedly wearing a skirt went in and assaulted a female student. school administrators then transferred that student to another loudoun county school, where a second assault happened months later. parents say the administration was not honest about that and was too focused on a social agenda to promote a transgender bathroom policy that they did not let this information out, and now they are calling for serious changes and a complete overhaul in leadership. now, while the superintendent did make an apology about a week and a half ago, to parents and students associated with that assault, it did li

we hear the wind, mike in loudoun county. john? >> john: let's bring in jason, former utah congressman and fox news contributor. good to see you. let's talk about viola garcia appointed to this national assessment and governing board. she is, as mike mentioned, the president of the national school boards association and the one that sent that letter to president biden asking that people who disrupt these school board meetings potentially be characterized and considered as domestic terrorists. apparently, the association had been talking to the white house for weeks before this letter was sent and then her appointment to the department of education board came two days after she sent that letter. your take on all of this? >> let there be no mistake, this letter wasn't some accidental letter that went out by one person who did something in a rogue way. it was a very concerted effort that took months to craft. and then it was sent. and now, the school board association is trying to say, well, you know, we kind of take part of it back.

loudoun county this is a swing county that has drifted to become less swingy. biden got under 60% of the vote. if youngkin wins this governor race, i assume loudoun looks like 2013. you are seeing a lot of focus on the school issue there. chesterfield county, used to be considered reliably lean republican. as you can see, mcauliffe lost it by 8 points but drifted towards the democrats. this is a swing area that leans blue. this needs to look, i think, narrowly red if we see a glenn youngkin victory with that. there's your path. so, speaking of loudoun county, the school board and that issue. emerged as a major battleground for cultural flash points that we're seeing play out in the state of virginia and beyond. you could argue loudoun county is the center of this. raucous arguments over gender identity, vaccine mandates, the teaching of race in schools including this idea that somehow being taught in the public schools. latest fire storm over the district's handling over two alleged sexual assaults prompted a walk out of students from three high schools yesterd

earlier last week superintendent ziggler apologized or if handling of the loudoun county. mike: deeply disturbing story. more later on the show we will speak with tiffany justice, cofounder of moms for liberty. live pictures coming in again from roma, texas as border patrol confirms they have detained a record 1.7 million migrants trying to cross the border in the past fiscal year. bill is at the border with a closer look at the reason behind the surge, hello, bill. bill: mike, good afternoon to you, many of these migrants once we talked in the past several months believe if they can step foot here on u.s. soil under this administration they will likely have a chance of being released into the united states and now there's a brand-new migrant caravan headed our way in hopes of that happening to them as well. take a look at remarkable video at tapachula, mexico, brand-new caravan, thousands in it. you can see them shoving their way past mexican national guard skirmish line that had stopped them or slow them down. thousands of migrants pushing right past security forces, tos

ainsley: well, because we covered some times loudoun county, fairfax, virginia. right next door to loudoun county. parents are upset about what's being taught in the schools. the schools originally said we are not teaching crt. now, according to the daily caller, this is the headline. loudoun county forces parents to sign nda file form to view crt style curriculum. they can only be given in information in pinner. they have to sign this form first. parents are not allowed to download or broadcast or take a picture in any manner whatsoever. they don't want you to know what they're teaching your students. brian: wait a second, this isn't a trumped up culture war? this is actually the curriculum which bypasses democrat and republican. it bypasses race and religion and ethnic background? so what is it about this curriculum that they want parents to keep their mouths shut if they, in fact, choose to see it? glenn youngkin weighed in on what's going on with schools as he knows change if he gets the job. >> we know, we know it all starts with curriculum. we know it does.

but the loudoun county superintendent scott ziggler is the real villain. he allegedly knew about the attack and he covered it up. >> do we have assaults in our bathrooms and locker rooms regularly. >> to my knowledge we don't have a record of assaults occurring in our restrooms. >> "time" magazine in 2016 called that a red herring. the predator transgender student or person simply does snout exist. jesse: the person doesn't exist? it turns out the same boy who attacked scott's daughter was just arrested for assaulting another girl. this more. the liberal prosecutor is funded by george soros and told the father to stay quiet about the attack. joining me is the author of county authoritarian moment," and host of the ben sma pirro podcast. ben shapiro. good job at the daily wire for breaking this story. i'm disgusted that they did this to this poor girl and this father was made out to be a -- a kook. it's so disgusting. >> one thing that's most unbelievable, the media basically went along with the narrative that this father was the face of domestic terrorism.

today a loudoun county high school history teacher who is suing the school district said she has seen damage done by critical race theory. >> it is encouraging students to discriminate against each other. i have witnessed it firsthand i have seen students exclude one another. >> what this amounts to is the state bureaucracy recommending these controversial teaching tools to all education stakeholders school administrators, principals or teachers could see the suggestion, read the book by love and implement any element of it in their teaching. bret? >> bret: you know, mike, what has fox news uncovered revealing fringz between loudoun county sheriff's office and the school board there? >> well, bret, new documents obtained by fox news reveals significant conflict between a local sheriff's office and the school board, august email show the loudoun county sheriff's office rejecting whether a it said were extraordinary security requests including superintendent scott ziggler requesting an explosive sweep and undercover presence for future school board meetings. ziggler requested multiple s

[chanting "shame on you"] >> a loudoun county school board meeting devolved into chaos on tuesday after the board and in public comment where nearly 250 people signed up. deputies even tackled one man who was later arrested for disorderly behavior. another man got a ticket for trespassing. >> tucker: oh, disorderly behavior. he was talking at a public hearing, so they beat him. you should know the same moment all of this was happening, the men who wanted to report the sexual assault of his daughter and a bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt, at that same moment, the same school district was pushing a policy for students identifying as "transgender" that would allow students to use any bathroom they want. >> on the agenda for the contentious meeting, a proposed policy that has been just as controversial, policy 8040, which would require transgender and gender nonconforming students to be called by th him on ton cha >> tucker: oh, disorderly behavior he was talking at a public hearing, so they beat hi>> tuckd you should know the same moment all of this was happening, the men who wanted to re

brent, the loudoun county school district is the ground zero for the war against parents and taxpayers. by teacher union, and biden administration justice department, america media, seems to take side of the totalitarians against the people. >> this is k a story of two cover-ups, they are equally horrific, one a cover-up of radical left policies and consequences, second is the media aiding and abetting in this. walk you through this. we have seen for the last two or three years, a debate on transgender restrooms, over realm whelming -- overwhelming of americans are against it. >> now, the overwhelming majority of parents against this have 3 things going for them, be horrified much media in turn attacked the pro-family movement everywheree we want, saying they are carnival barkers, saying this never happened before, everything they are saying is carnival barking, ignore them. this the way of the woke, new world. that is the backdrop. january 12, a newly elected democrat school board in loudoun county announces they will have a new policy allowing transgender children to go to the public

. >> loudoun county parent, thanks for being here. first question to you, the only options at this point remaining are resignations and firings? >> we fit that point and nothing to bring that point home like last night. last night's meeting was one like i have never seen before. i have never seen any display of anger and outrage and disappointment as what was evident in the programs last night. there 120 folks decided to speak in person. i counted three that did not include disparaging remarks, call for resignation it asking the board to fire sigler. todd: what message, not just parents but students having voices heard. >> the school board and superintendent, what is going on in our schools, when you have parents month after month over and over saying the same thing, don't do this, don't do this and the majority speaking out are saying the same thing and nothing is happening, students, what happened recently, shows how they are disregarding parents, don't care what is happening and push their agenda, this is an ideology war, nothing t

one of the loudoun county school superintendents conveniently use to cover the alleged assault against smith's daughter. >> the issue of assaults taking place for transgender students, time magazine in 2016 called that a red herring. >> what an idiot. time to call him out, they are despicable. time for real accountability from virginia officials, democrats and the media. joining me, dinesh desousa, the media are a big part of this but imagine if any of this stuff happened under republican rule at a red state rural areas they would be crawling all over this story. >> absolutely. you mentioned a moment ago it is tragic when you have a 1-party state but even when you have a 1-party state you at least have that party under some scrutiny from oversight institutions but when you have a 1-party state that is backed up by a media that now is not just biased but will openly law, cover-up facts, distort, go after critics of the regime and when you have a digital media that will step in and censor people who are critics and dissidents, now you have the makings of a soft authoritarianism and this

of course the idea of critical race theory, which really started here in virginia, in loudoun county, he said it's really about the idea of getting big government out of virginians' lives. >> gary grumbach, thank you for that report. >>> nowhere in virginia has critical race theory been a louder issue in schools than at a school board meeting last night. to be clear, loudoun county schools do not teach critical race theory. >> reporter: good afternoon, geoff. in recent months loudoun county public school board meetings have been a battleground for everybody from mask mandates to trans gender bathroom policies and critical race theory. some parents say a sexual assault happened in a bathroom in a public school and school administrators covered it up to advance a transgender bathroom policy. others in the school community say a lot of this is disrupters from the outside who are trying to affect an election. >> it started during the pandemic. it was covid, it was schools shutting down. and then it was virtual learning. and then next it was masks. and then all of a sudden, it was, what ar

about 45,000 here in loudoun county. loudoun county, a huge focus for both of these candidates. you'll remember that it was here in loudoun county, there was a lot of controversy at a school board, and that was stoked. democrats say culture war stoked. by youngkin who has really been appealing to parents saying education should be in your hands, and going aftery mcauliffe on that. it's critical to terry mcauliffe because this is a politically democratic county. a place where joe biden, the current democratic governor both got very large margins and where terry mcauliffe needs do exactly the same. so what eastery mcauliffe doing today in addition to going out campaigning? he's got a number of democratic grassroots groups working for him. one of them is swing left. you might remember them. they tear folks who were formed after president trump was electeded and who helped to swing the house of representatives to the left, to the democrats. they already -- take a look at these numbers just in v -- have made 130,000 phone calls. they've sent a million letters to voters encouraging th

. >> reporter: in loudoun county, virginia last night, parents reach a boiling point. >> resign or be removed. >> reporter: many parents demanding new leadership after they say a sexual assault at a county school was covered up by administrators to advance a transgender bathroom policy. >> all of you must go, and we will take back our schools. >> reporter: a judge finding this week a 14-year-old male student guilty on two counts of sexual assault. officials saying he wore a skirt, entered a girls bathroom and assaulted a 15-year-old female student back in may. he was later accused of assaulting another student at another school in october. school leaders say they notified authorities of both allegations immediately. though at a june meeting, the superintendent saying this. >> do we have assaults in our bathrooms in our locker rooms >> to my knowledge, we don't have any records of assaults occurring in our rest room >> shame on you! shame on you >> reporter: angry parents calling that a lie after the release of an internal e-mail sent from the superintendent to school board members in

our interview with loudoun county, virginia father over what he alleged happen to his daughter in a bathroom forced the school system to respond today. we will bring that update and hear from the parents who were there with unique insight and a massive edr cover-up involving a supreme court justice, why is kamala twisting history for native people? raymond arroyo hesitant seen and unseen but first, the biden who stole christmas is the focus of tonight's angle. >> with the holidays coming up you might be wondering if gifts you plan to buy will arrive on time. let me explain. supply chains me now we make things and how the material and parts kit delivered to factory so we can manufacture things, how we move things, finished product is factory to store to your home. laura: thank you for stating the obvious, south america seventh grade book report explaining what a supply chain and he offered a simple solution, what if we strongly encourage the ports and companies to operate 24/seven. >> the night hours are critical for increasing movement of goods because highways are less crowded in the evenin

loudoun county is one of the counties that has been a hotspot for this conversation on the national level. use it on allowable county board of supervisors. i wonder if you have ever seen anything like this when it comes to the governor's race and a republican in the lead and you think people are voting, majority of them anyway on what is going on? in schools? >> a big part of what is motivating the public is to turn out, in an off year election, republicans are fired up about these issues, rightfully so, especially with recent sexual assault cases in loudoun county and lack of transparency with parents and mike of protection of our kids. people are rightfully fired up, you see school boards not letting -- terry mcauliffe defending those actions. terry mcauliffe said parents should have a say in the curriculum of their kids and as a parent of three most parents disagree with that and since he made that comment you see terry mcauliffe's polls go straight down. when you have that mixed with biden's disapproval rating jumping to 56% in the fox news poll whereas, a big flip. definitely educati

now it's loudoun county, democrats and republicans have one thing in common. they care about their children, grandkids and they are sounding off to one candidate who says embrace the teachers. teachers unions, the other candidate says i want to listen to the parents. ainsley: inflate the numbers on covid so it fits your narrative. then you tell parents there is not crt in the classroom. and the parents say there is. oh there is if you want to read the curriculum you have to sign nda. you are not allowed to take pictures and can't tell anyone what you read. steve: latest poll neck in neck. number one issue for the people of the commonwealth of virginia is the economy. joe biden's economy numbers are tanking. we haven't seen inflation like this in such a very long time. and. >> hidden tax. dollar extra every time you put one gallon of gas in your car. ainsley: turkey cost more too. steve: highest ever. number two in virginia is education. right now on both of those, youngkin is leading. brian: it's going to be interesting. last four polls dead heat. exciting. an

in loudoun county, you're very vocal about allowing county school board. his name is scott smith and he says his daughter was raped by a boy wearing a skirt in the bathroom. this story has blown up over the past week. he was arrested at a school board meeting in july or back in may and the school board members have come out and said they didn't know about that at the time and they learned about it through the media but you say you have a letter that proves otherwise. >> wtop of the local news station, last night, and email they are acquired via foia showing superintendent email the entire school board on may 20 eighth when the incident happened, describing sexual assault in a bathroom so that means when the superintendent went to a school board meeting where mister smith was arrested on june 20 second and said there were no records of sexual assault in bathrooms he was lying. when school board members came out last week and said we weren't aware of any specific details, they didn't have every detail but they knew about this on may 28th. they covered this p

we have records, including actual contract receipts from loudoun county virginia. they're paying for consulting that references critical race theory by name. >> shannon: katie, this is turning out to be a huge deal in virginia. whether terry mcauliffe wants it or not, it is. >> katie: he keeps insulting the people that vote for him. in fairfax county, 10,000 kids have been pulled from schools. they do teach critical race theory. he's not acknowledging it. fairfax county paid a racist himself $20,000 to give a speech for an hour to school administrators and to teachers last summer. they backed that up when it came to light and public documents that they made that much money saying it was essential to how they learn to teach children. it's not just the issue of critical race theory. it's about pornographic books in the libraries for young children, parents leading them out loud and embarrassing school boards over it. what do you think the parents are doing? terry mcauliffe spearing parents saying this is a racist dog whistle. there's parents in loudoun county and peo

that's with the trump presidency did to loudoun county. look at this. when mitt romney was the republican nominee in 2012, republicans almost won loudoun county so this is the trump effect in loudoun county, and this is the trump effect, you see it in northern virginia. you see it in suburbs in virginia. so, what terry mcauliffe is doing, he believes what you say about donald trump and january 6th, that's why he's saying trump over and over a thousand times a day, he thinks that is what's going to keep a place like loudoun county voting more like it did in 2020, less like it did in 2012. now, the flip side is, youngkin, the republicans, they've been talking education and curriculum. they believe that issue has resonance, especially in a place like loudoun county. they don't think it's going to win loudoun county for them but they think it's going to erase a lot of surge gains democrats made in the trump era. maybe instead of biden getting 61.5%, maybe mcauliffe gets 55, 54%. if they can keep it around 10, 12 points, democrats can win. >> steve, let me b

this is loudoun county, heard so much about the education push. watch this county on tuesday night. see whether or not youngkin can start to chop into that blue lead there in loudoun county. a lot of votes up here. youngkin was with us earlier today on "america's newsroom." he was here in franklin county where you can see the advantage republicans have. roanoke county. again, the republican edge there. over here to pulaski county, a lot of the votes will matter here in the southwestern part where there's so much red. i put a focus here on richmond, virginia. i talked to a lot of experts that watch the polling in the state of virginia. they're saying this area is toss-up. this is richmond city. a heartbed for the blue team, i'd say. enricoh county north of it, things change. chesterfield county, get to the suburbs things are pretty dead even. remember when eric cantor was upset in his congressional race? this is virginia 7 right here. runs from south to north. this was won by abigail spanberger three years ago now. she won by a thin margin, 2 points, this is an area to wash tuesday n

played specific moment we brought up loudoun county in the case there. there was this moment on the memo. more from ted cruz, listen. >> your memo, in recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence. you didn't look and nobody on your staff looked. did you look up the 20 instances? >> as i testified, the decision to make and send the memo -- >> did you look up the 20 instances? >> i did not. >> did anybody on your staff look it up? >> you did no independent research on what was happening, did you? >> memo has nothing to do -- >> did you did research? >> the memo has nothing -- >> you are not answering the question. >> sandra: quite a moment, ari fleischer. >> republicans are rooiled up about this, many people are riled up about it, this markens back to the tea party movement of 2010, never seen such a spontaneous uprising of government officials aimed at school boards and parents have a right to say what they want and speak out. the question here is why did merrick garland do this? it is alarming. just

. >> superintended zigler apologize for the handling of the loudoun county case. the same suspect one to be accused of another sexual assault this month at a new school. eric: thank you. alicia: the issue of education is also taking on nationwide significance many parents were concerned the education officials are pushing policies that do not align with their values are battling these officials had on by running against them in school board elections. laura joines is now the executive director apparent activist groups best, building education for students together in the director of education reform for freedom works. thank you so much for being here. can you explain to us what your group is doing to get parents more involved in their kids education. >> i appreciate that question, first of all i want to speak clear on this parents that i work with are not domestic terrorist and they have over exaggerated the fact that parents who are speaking out at the school board meetings are speaking out on behalf of their children, what were doing is out educating our parents
