martha: let s bring in guy benson, host of the guy benson show and political editor at town hall.com and richard fowler. both are fox news contributors. good to have you with us today. so the reaction to that i want to go to this first. this is glen youngin on the arlington county tweet. let s take a look at this. we wrote the order specifically to give all of the school systems basically eight days to get ready, to listen to parents. the fact that that tweet came out from arlington county within minutes of my executive order, what that tells me they haven t listened to parents yet. martha: he says they have not listened to parents. one parent from that arlington community school system, jen psaki, said hi there, arlington
welcome back. let s head to virginia where we are focused on the governor s race. president biden announced he ll head down there next week to campaign for friend terry mcauliffe now neck and neck with republican businessman glen youngin. you know who s here to break it down is steve kornacki. this is the second time president biden went to virginia to campaign for mcauliffe but it was in the summer and how much has the race changed from then to now? it is coming into focus. this is what s coming into focus for everybody looking at this. the average of the polls in virginia right now still has mcauliffe leading but inside of two points and polls this week showed the race tied so here we are into the home stretch and this is looking like a squeaker. talking about virginia you see
over glen youngin. that is too close for comfort for democrats. they called in the big ones. biden is expected to join as well. mcauliffe has expressed frustration about the poll numbers. he says washington has been no help. everybody has their own way to handle different negotiations. what we want to do is get it passed. i m confident that will get it passed. however we get to the finish line is really important. republican glen youngin is critical of the big name help saying he doesn t need it. my opponent stood in front of america and said clearly parents do not have a right to dictate what is being taught in our schools. then he came back and doubled down and tripled down, quadrupled down on that statement.
country. the debate about education. we saw the superintendent of loudoun county resigned, apologized for not taking the assaults seriously in the bathroom. got the crt issue. senator tim kaine, a democrat from virginia, says this is just not an issue. watch. i don t think that many people are angry in virginia about education, chris. terry mcauliffe has a record. the record was some of the biggest increases in funding for schools. the other reasons parent are not angry, they get to vote for school board members. how can glen youngin call a topsy-turvy. laura: ory what is he missing here? he s missing this race for governor. i heard glen youngin say this week that the reason things have gone to the point that they are is why republicans were just regularly conservatives living their life, the democrats
time at walter reed and now her invisibility. it was a legitimate media story. the first lady or the person that is standing in for a first lady disappears, you want to know where she is. laura: what you should be optimistic about, after ten months of biden, common sense americans are waking up. keep your eye on virginia s governor s race. terry mcauliffe has a slight lead over glen youngin. according to the new york times, he s straining to motivate the liberal voters and increasingly blue state. virginia, it s time to save yourselves. if you let another four years go by under a democrat governor, you re going to see the terrible trend lines for schools, energy prices and crime continue. look at how far off the left pushed newsome to go after he beat that recall.
