While watching Donald Trump's supporters storming into the Capitol on television, Pelosi calls Virginia Governor Ralph Northam begging for National Guard help. In the video, Pelosi said, 'It's just horrendous, and it's all at the behest of the President of the United States' instigation.' It's the first time video of the frantic hours in which senators hid in secrecy when police were fighting with the crowd. Pelosi appears in another clip talking with Vice President Mike Pence about when senators could safely return to the Capitol. 'We left the discussion at [Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell] that Mitch wants everyone back,' Pelosi told colleagues. 'We're getting a counter argument that it'll take time to dry up the poo-poo, both literally and figuratively, and it could take days to recover.' They were also seen calling Jeff Rosen, Trump's acting attorney general, for assistance. Why can't you get the president to remind them to leave the Capitol, Mr. Attorney General, in the midst of your law enforcement responsibilities?' Rosenberg asked Schumer about Rosen.

Governor Glenn Youngkin of Virginia responded to demonstrations in his home state on Wednesday about his planned changes to how schools treat transgender people. Youngkin said in an interview with 'Fox and Friends' that he's determined that the new guidelines will bring the power back to the parents and families affected.' If enforced, the legislation would force parents to make a written request for any revisions to their child's name, pronouns, or bathroom use. In addition, school sports will be classified based on the sex coded at birth.

Glenn Youngkin, Virginia's newly elected Republican governor, will prohibit transgender students from using bathrooms that don't match their birth certificates, and also save teachers from having to use children's alternative pronouns. The Republican, who stunned Democratic predecessor Ralph Northam (right) in a surprise victory last November, is now reversing many of the woke policies enforced by Northam. The Department of Education unveiled the new model for schools on Friday, emphasizing that "parents have the right to make decisions regarding their children's welfare" and that the government does not require individuals to adhere or endorse any particular ideological creeds.' Transgender people must have official documentation confirming that their gender has been changed if they want to use facilities that match their gender identity. After Youngkin's office found that doing so would violate their First Amendment rights, teachers cannot be compelled to see students by an alternative pronoun. The laws will go into place at the end of September after a 'commentary period.'
