Protect the votes of our states and localities. that is our job. these attempts to intimidate us out of doing that job will not succeed. i am emboldened and determined and made more so by these threats. but we have to also recognize the consequences of misinformation and these lies that are coming from every direction. they are one step away from hateful rhetoric and one step away from violence that we saw transpire in many ways in december and january of 2020 and 2021, both outside my home, out...

Government dictating children, on the campaign trail i listened to parents and as governor i will continue to listen. school boards throughout the commonwealth should do the same. >> steve: absolutely. keep in mind, the reason he is saying that parents should have a say. because, famously, when he was running for governor of the commonwealth of virginia. it was terry mcauliffe during the debate said parents should not have a say. he says he is wrong and ultimately he won. the parents are still s...

Ideas. so, that is really the problem beyond whether you are talking about the anti-racism curriculum or critical-race theory which is really much more of a high-level college and graduate school thing, anyway. >> i want to talk about school mask mandates. governor youngkin obviously ran on a platform he would leave it up to localities whether to impose them or not. seems in part to have changed. is this all peace in your view? >> i think it is. there is whole idea you heard a lot from fox news ...

Youngkin, who said hed leave mask mandates up to localities and ran on governing for all virginians, has instead done a bit of a bait and switch, spending most of his first ten days in office dismissing concerns of the states largest schools and banning inherently divisive concepts in classrooms. things like critical race theory, which is not actually taught in virginia public schools. yesterday, he told a conservative radio host he blames left liberals and school board bureaucrats for the mass ...

To say it is a peaceful movement, we have dell bigtree about to go on, hes sort of the rock star of the movement, so its going to get loud, but the point is i dont see a lot of extremists, were not seeing neonazis, notmany prod boys although we have seen a couple, but this is a very extreme message. we may not see harm in the streets like we saw on january 6th, but health experts say this causes harm just the same. >> misinformation is dangerous in so many ways. brandy zadrozny, we appreciate yo...

Leaders and leaders across the country and in localities and states to do everything they can to implement the safety measures we know work to keep our kids safe, and those include universal masking and testing and they include using the money we secured a year ago to invest in improving testing and ventilation. theres nothing more important than the safety of our children. we all should be coming together and uniting to take all of these measures to keep our kids safe. >> dr. murthy, can you gi...

About local schools on his first day he sees this control of the schools from localities. he bans the teaching of critical race theory which is not being taught in virginia schools. so that is irrelevant. except we also bans the teaching of divisive -- you cant teach american history and race without raising divisive concepts. that is pretty divisive. and then of course he invalidates mask mandates that have been imposed by a local school boards that are supported by parents in the school distri...
