they want to do and share that with the voters in their states and their districts. otherwise, we are not going to wins a many republicans will not wins a many victories as they would otherwise receive. lawrence: seems like the ground game is going to be essential. i was in virginia two months before the election. it didn t look like it was going youngkin kin wants way it really didn t. talking with people. didn t know who he was. he continued to go out there, talk with voters about the issue that mattered to them. it wasn t just crt. it was the fact that the parents wanted more control of the education. they were tired about their kids being at home and that mattered to them. if you are not talking to the voters, you really can t make that case to them. yeah. absolutely. i happened to have a conversation with the candidate in, i believe it was early october, he had been down on the tide water the night before for a big rally and that morning he began historically black college i
good evening, mike. bret, good evening, governor glenn youngkin is clearly trying to set a tone here in virginia. taking action immediately on some of the key priorities he laid out during his campaign, promising change is coming. they see declining schools. they see violent crime reports dominating the news. and they see government failures and encroachments on their liberties. beyond his state of the commonwealth address, it has been a fast start for virginia s first republican governor elected in more than a decade. youngkin kin signed 11 executive actions on saturday day one. ending the covid-19 vaccine requirement for state employees and terminating the virginia parole board. others focused on education such as reversing mask requirements for children ending the use of divirve steps critical race theory asking the attorney general to investigate the sexual assault in loudoun county
snow and rain that comes prior to snow. but i guess they haven t figured it out in virginia under this administration. lawrence: nope. thanks, todd. so this is just not a story of the administration getting this wrong again when it comes to kamala harris and her pr strategy. she is terrible. we know this is why her poll numbers are sinking. i find it very interesting that you had so many people going on twitter apparently ignorant as to who is in control right now. they were blaming youngkin who hasn t been sworn in yet instead of northam who is the current governor who is responsible. of course the feds can help out with stuff like this. this is a state matter, brian. brian: lara trump weighed in. the vice president and her tremendous vales. if you are going to time a tweeted, make it a little creative. i can t wait for the sun to come up. i m going to time that for 6:00 a.m. here is lara trump. if she didn t have bad timing and bad communication skills, she would have none at a
obviously this tweet was terrible from start to finish, no matter how you look at it what is moving again by the way, kamala? is the supply chain crisis now over? is that moving again? is inflation moving in the right direction? are people moving off their couch us out of their houses and back to work because the government has stopped paying them to stay home? no, of course not. so i don t know what her tweet was all about. nothing is moving in the right direction as long as kamala harris and joe biden are in charge. so, just like everything else in this administration, that tweet was an epic failure. brian: unbelievable what s happening in virginia. kind of ridiculous that youngkin kin getting the blame two weeks before he takes the job. governor northam is an embarrassment from the day those pictures emerged with him in black face and still kept the job. he was invisible. no one knows where he is. let s talk about something else i found unbelievably distressing. i was so optimisti
so, yes, i think that, you know, national figures really did loom over this race. and one of the problems with virginia, off year elections is they generally are over analyzed. but they are also like a canary in a coal mine and a lot of times they have been a preview of how the party in power does in the next midterms. bret: you know, we are seeing voter analysis, bill, early delay youngkin kin is doing pretty well with trump voters very or somewhat favorable view of the former president trump is he getting. 6 out of 10 of somewhat unfavorable view of the former president. seems like he has walked. tiptoed through the tulips of what was a dangerous political environment. yeah. i think he has done very well in that. look, i have a slight different take on this. i think what it shows is that the national figures aren t having the big impact on the
