board meeting and things like that. to me, that has galvanized and that has created such an anger and enthusiasm among the republicans that boy, oh boy, i think you re seeing it reflected in the polls. anita: yeah, we saw merrick garland, the attorney general really grilled on that on capitol hill last week. scott, what do you think about that? it does seem like education and parental involvement in schools has really become the central issue in this race. well, education has become the central issue in the case. i don t think my good friend guy s point, i think it misses the mark in the sense that may be part of it but the videos and advertisements that we have been getting in washington, d.c. i can quote and both sides spent money on it and the gap that youngkin covered in the last 4
weekend but also because tuesday is election day for the virginia s governor race, the fbi did not comment on record but say they take all threats to public safety very seriously. anita: with glenn youngkin in the lead in latest fox news polls in the virginia governor s race, mcauliffe has days to win over voters. joining us now are two folks who are watching this very closely. we have guy lewis and spot scott bolden. thank you for joining us today. thank you for having us. anita: it is political theater at its best. you have the well-known, very seasoned politician and former democratic governor terry mcauliffe who really should have had the race in the bag against
the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the social spending bill on tuesday. what do you think of that, guy, let me go to you first quickly. so clearly to me it s an act of desperation in as much as you sigh that, hey, we the democrats have got to get something out there and maybe, just maybe it ll affect in some way, shape or form this election in virginia and that goes back to what you heard the vp say earlier. i don t agree with her often on a lot but she said it and i agreed with it, this election in virginia is big. the way virginia goes, i would suggest to you, anita, the way the country goes. anita: yeah, we will see about that, scott. is your party going to be able to you night for this vote on tuesday? i certainly think so no matter what happens in virginia because virginia is the bellwether state because it falls between the presidential
what you just said. you mentioned donald trump. it does that terry mcauliffe has tried to paint glenn youngkin tied to donald trump but seems like voters are more interested in local issues like education. scott, what do you think of that? well, i think he s tied donald trump to youngkin because youngkin has embraced donald trump early on in public statement. he said the basis for him running was because of donald trump, quote, taught them. with youngkin he painted himself as a trump supporter and a trump candidate but he s just nicer, better looking and dresses better perhaps in khakis if you will. anita: all right, guys, let me get guy in there real quick. i want to switch topics. that s somewhat of a complement, i shouldn t have said that. i respect scott greatly but the numbers and enthusiasm and the excitement, look, they people, to quote an old movie years ago, people are mad as heck and they are tired of this.
election as well as the midterms in 2022. it won t be that $3.5 billion bill. it s probably going to be cut in half because we can all agree that the democrats need to get something and this is an investment in human infrastructure. if they can get a deal done, maybe half, maybe come back in a year or two, it may save the midterms for them as well as 2024 by getting this done. they come back for the second half at another time. anita: any way you look at it tuesday is d day, virginia governor s race, the election and then now you have this potential vote on capitol hill. get your popcorn. i ll have mine. [laughter] anita: guy lewis and scott bolden thank you so much for coming today and we will see you again. griff. griff: anita let s go overseas. new developments on iran and resuming talks on the nuclear deal as president biden meets with world leaders at the g20 summit. white house correspondent peter doocy live in rome with the latest, hey, peter. peter: breaking tonight we are
