>>> LBJ! LBJ!
>> SENATOR BARACK OBAMA WILL CARRY THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.
>> IT HASN'T GONE DEMOCRATIC SINCE 1964.
HE NOW HAS ENOUGH ELECTORAL VOTES TO BECOME THE 44th
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT WON ALL 13 OF
VIRGINIA'S ELECTORAL VOTES, REELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES. TERRY McAULIFFE WILL BE THE NEXT
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA.
>> THE MAJOR HEADLINES OF THE HOUR, HILLARY CLINTON WINS
VIRGINIA.
>> RALPH NORTHAM. THE DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO WIN
VIRGINIA.
>> CALLING VIRGINIA FOR VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.
>> JOE BIDEN WON BY TEN POINTS.
>> VIRGINIA USED TO BE A BATTLEGROUND STATE.
AND NOW IT ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY GOES TO DEMOCRATS.
>> HELLO, EVERYBODY, ARE WE FIRED UP, READY TO GO?
LET'S SEE THOSE MOVES.
>> DEMOCRAT TERRY McAULIFFE IS HOPING TO CLAIM THE GOVERNOR'S
SEAT IN JUST A FEW WEEKS.
>> I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS HERE MATTERS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
WE HAVE TO SHOW AMERICA WHO WE ARE.
IT STARTS HERE IN VIRGINIA.
>> GIVEN WHERE THE REPUBLICANS ARE RIGHT NOW, THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY SHOULD BE WIPING THE FLOOR WITH THEM.
>> I GOT MORE ENERGY TODAY THAN THE DAY I WAS BORN.
>> COME ON, VIRGINIA, LET'S GET IT DONE.
>> THE OUTSIDER, THE NEWCOMER, GLENN YOUNGKIN, IS REALLY
CATCHING ON HERE.
>> WE'RE SEEING THE ISSUES MOVE MORE IN THE REPUBLICANS'
DIRECTION IN VIRGINIA.
>> ARE WE READY TO WIN OR WHAT?
>> VIRGINIANS ARE SAYING NO TO THIS LEFT LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE
AGENDA THAT'S BEEN TRYING TO DRAG VIRGINIA INTO CALIFORNIA.
WE ARE SAYING NO. NO.
>> THE CRITICAL VIRGINIA GOVERNOR'S RACE MAY BE TURNING
INTO SOMETHING OF A BIDEN/TRUMP PROXY WAR.
>> GLENN YOUNGKIN IS A TRUMP ACOLYTE.
>> TERRY McAULIFFE WANTS TO CONTROL EVERYTHING.
>> THIS IS THE FIRST BIG TEST FOR VOTERS OF THE POLITICAL
LANDSCAPE IN THE COUNTRY.
>> A SURPRISINGLY TIGHT RACE.
>> IF TERRY McAULIFFE LOSES THIS RACE.
>> THAT COULD CHANGE THE ENTIRE POLITICAL CALCULUS.
>> THAT COULD RING REAL ALARM BELLS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
>> SO GOES VIRGINIA, SO GOES AMERICA.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
>>> RING MASTERS.
>> I'M KAT.
>> THIS IS QUITE AN ASTONISHING WEEK, FOLKS.
>> ABOUT TO DO OUR HUNDREDTH EPISODE, WHICH IS AMAZING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> HERE'S TO 100 EPISODES.
>> HERE'S TO 100 MORE.
>> L'CHAIM, SNITCHES.
>> CHEERS.
>> CHIN CHIN, MOTHERFUCKERS.
>> IT'S OCTOBER. THIS IS MY FAVORITE MONTH OF
POLITICS. WE JUST HAVE THE EXCITEMENT OF
THIS IMPENDING ELECTION.
>> IT'S ONE OF THE BIG OFF-YEAR ELECTIONS, IS THE VIRGINIA
GOVERNOR'S RACE. AND THIS YEAR, VIRGINIA IS
COMPETITIVE.
>> I THINK IF EVERYTHING HAD GONE THE WAY EVERYBODY PREDICTED
FOR BIDEN A YEAR AGO, COVID WOULD BE BETTER, THE ECONOMY
WOULD BE REBOUNDING, HE WOULD HAVE THESE LEGISLATIVE
VICTORIES.
>> VIRGINIA WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE DEMOCRATS' COLUMN.
IT'S NOT. IT'S IN THE MARGIN OF ERROR.
>> VIRGINIA WAS A REPUBLICAN STATE.
THEN A STATE SWING. THEN 2008 CAME.
>> IT WAS THE SEISMIC EVENT IN AMERICAN POLITICS.
NO DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HAD WON SINCE LBJ.
IT WAS NOT JUST ANY PERSON. IT WAS A BLACK MAN WINNING THE
SEAT OF THE CONFEDERACY.
>> HILLARY CLINTON WINS THE STATE IN 2016.
BIDEN WINS IT BY TEN POINTS LAST YEAR.
YOU HAD EXACTLY ONE EXCEPTION TO THAT.
BOB MACDONNELL COMES IN ON THE WAVE OF THE TEA PARTY AND WINS
THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION IN 2009. IT WAS A GIANT CODE RED FOR THE
OBAMA WHITE HOUSE. THEN THE REPUBLICANS SWAMPED THE
HOUSE AND CRUSHED THE DEMOCRATS.
>> SO EVERYONE'S LOOKING AT VIRGINIA AND SAYING, HEY, TERRY
McAULIFFE, COMING OFF THE TEN-POINT VICTORY BY JOE BIDEN,
HE SHOULD HAVE A CAKEWALK. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT'S NOT A
CAKEWALK.
>> TERRY McAULIFFE HAS BEEN IN DEMOCRATIC POLITICS FOR A
LONG-ASS TIME. THIS IS A GUY WHO FAMOUSLY
WRESTLED AN ALLIGATOR IN HIS EARLY 20s FOR A $15,000 DONATION
TO JIMMY CARTER'S 1980 REELECTION CAMPAIGN.
THIS IS A GUY WHO WAS THE CHAIR OF HILLARY'S 2008 CAMPAIGN.
HE WAS THE DNC CHAIR FROM 2001 TO 2005.
TERRY McAULIFFE FEELS A LITTLE BIT LIKE YOUR DAD'S DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
>> AND GLENN YOUNGKIN IS JUST THE OPPOSITE.
HE HAD NO REAL POLITICAL HISTORY, NEVER HELD POLITICAL
OFFICE. HE'S A BUSINESSMAN, WHICH IS
WHAT REPUBLICANS LOVE, AND A VERY SUCCESSFUL ONE AT THAT.
>> I FEEL LIKE WITH YOUNGKIN, REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING CAN WE
PIVOT AWAY FROM TRUMP WITH SOMEBODY WHO CAN APPEAL TO THE
BASE BUT NOT SEEM AS OFF-PUTTING AS TRUMP?
>> THE DIFFICULT BALANCING ACT YOUNGKIN IS TRYING TO PULL OFF
WAS ILLUSTRATED LAST WEEK IN A VIVID WAY.
THERE'S A BIG RALLY FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
DONALD TRUMP IS CALLING INTO THE RALLY.
STEVE BANNON IS AT THE RALLY. WHAT ELSE IS ONSTAGE AT THE
RALLY?
>> SHE'S CARRYING AN AMERICAN FLAG THAT WAS CARRIED ON JANUARY
6.
>> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG.
>> PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE TO A FLAG THAT WAS AT THE CAPITOL ON CAN
6. 6.
>> TERRY McAULIFFE POUNCES.
>> THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DESTROY DEMOCRACY AND THEY'RE
DOING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. HE SAID HE WILL DO WHATEVER
TRUMP WANTS HIM TO DO. HE'S A TRUMP WANNABE.
>> WE SEE THE McAULIFFE CAMPAIGN TRYING TO NATIONALIZE THE
CAMPAIGN AND MAKE IT A REFERENDUM ON TRUMP.
YOUNGKIN DOESN'T WANT TO DO THAT.
HE DOESN'T WANTED TO NATIONALIZE IT.
>> YOUNGKIN THINKS HIS POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW
IN THIS RACE IS SCHOOLS. THERE'S COVID MASK MANDATES.
THEN THERE'S CRITICAL RACE THEORY, THE FEAR THEY'RE GOING
TO SHOVE THIS MARXIST, RACIALIZED VERSION OF AMERICAN
HISTORY DOWN CHILDREN'S THROATS. EVEN IF CRITICAL RACE THEORY
ISN'T ACTUALLY TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS.
>> IT'S A HUGE TOPIC IN VIRGINIA WHERE PROTESTS HAVE BEEN RED-HOT
AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS AND GLENN YOUNGKIN
SEIZES ON A MISSPEAK BY McAULIFFE.
>> I DON'T THINK PARENTS SHOULD DECIDE WHAT CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT.
>> IT WILL BE A TEST TO SEE WHICH ISSUES ARE MOST RESONANT.
>> IF YOUNGKIN WINS, PEOPLE WILL FLIP THE FUCK OUT BECAUSE IT
WILL MEAN WHAT IT MEANT WHEN BOB MACDONNELL WON IN VIRGINIA IN
2009, THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE FACING SOME SERIOUS SHIT IN
2022.
>> IT WILL BE A SEARING INDICTMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY IF HE LOSES. SO MUCH OF DEMOCRATIC ENTHUSIASM
WAS PREDICATED ONLY DONALD TRUMP.
AND WHEN DONALD TRUMP ISN'T IN THE RACE, DEMOCRATS STAY HOME.
>> I WILL SAY THIS. THEY SAY VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS.
BUT EVERY FOUR YEARS IN THESE OFF-YEAR ELECTIONS, VIRGINIA IS
FOR FORTUNE TELLERS. THEY ALL GO AND STARE INTO THE
COMMONWEALTH CRYSTAL BALL.
THE DEBATE AROUND SCHOOLS IS INTENSIFYING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
MASK MANDATES. CRITICAL RACE THEORY.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE BATTLEGROUNDS IN THE HIGHLY
PARTISAN CULTURE WARS.
>> THE ISSUE IS HOT HERE AND ALL OVER VIRGINIA.
SCHOOLS. FIRST, WHETHER SCHOOLS SHOULD BE
ABLE TO MANDATE MASK AND VACCINE REQUIREMENTS.
BUT EVEN MORE DIVISIVE IS THE IDEA THAT SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING
CRITICAL RACE THEORY TO KIDS, AN ACADEMIC THEORY ABOUT EDUCATING
THROUGH A LENS OF RACE.
>> NEWEST FRONT IN THE CULTURE WARS.
>> ACADEMIC THEORY PRIMARY TAUGHT IN LAW SCHOOLS BECOMES A
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL LIGHTNING ROD.
>> HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
>> IN FLORIDA, TEXAS, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI.
>> SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU!
>> IT'S ALL HAPPENING IN THE SCHOOLS AND YOUNGKIN IS TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF IT.
>> TELL US ABOUT WHY YOU'RE SUPPORTING GLENN YOUNGKIN.
>> I JUST FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THE STATE IS GOING
DOWNHILL. McAULIFFE IS PUSHING FOR
UNTESTED VACCINES FOR OUR CHILDREN.
>> YOU THINK THE VACCINES ARE UNTESTED?
>> UNTESTED ON OUR CHILDREN, ABSOLUTELY THEY ARE.
>> I'M NOT SURE THAT'S RIGHT.
>> THEY DON'T WANT ONE CHILD TO BE TOLD THAT HE'S SUPERIOR AND
THEREFORE AN OPPRESSOR AND ANOTHER CHILD TOLD THAT HE'S
ALWAYS GOING TO BE OPPRESSED AND NOT CAPABLE.
>> SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY.
>> YEAH.
>> BUT WHO SAID THAT?
>> I'M A NURSE BY PROFESSION. I DO NOT HAVE THE PRECISE -- I
CAN'T QUOTE FOR YOU WHERE IT WAS IN THE CURRICULUM BUT IT'S BEEN
IDENTIFIED IN THE CURRICULUM.
>> PLEASE WELCOME YOUR NEXT GOVERNOR, GLENN YOUNGKIN.
[ CHEERING ]
>> WE'RE TOLD STAY OUT OF EDUCATION.
NO WONDER TERRY WANTS PARENTS OUT OF IT AND HE WANTS TO INSERT
GOVERNMENT BETWEEN PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN.
DID YOU HEAR ME SAY PARENTS? BECAUSE PARENTS MATTER.
SCHOOLS AND THEIR POLICIES MUST TEACH STUDENTS TO JUDGE THEIR
PEERS BASED ON CHARACTER, NOT SKIN COLOR.
[ CHEERING ] BUT LET ME BE CLEAR.
I WILL BAN CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN OUR SCHOOLS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> TO BE ABLE TO PLAY OFFENSE ON AN ISSUE LIKE EDUCATION, IT'S
BECOMING A FIRESTORM IN VIRGINIA AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
IT JUST REALLY GALVANIZED THE RACE.
WHEN TERRY McAULIFFE SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD WHICH IS TO
TAKE THE PARENTS OUT OF EDUCATION, HE SAID WHAT WE'VE
BEEN WANTING TO SAY FOR A LONG TIME.
>> HOW MUCH OF THIS ORGANIC ACTIVITY IS SCHOOL-RELATED?
>> IT'S MORE THAN THAT. IT'S ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO
CONTROL YOUR CHILDREN AND WHAT THEY LEARN AND WHAT THEY'RE
EXPOSED TO.
>> ARE YOU KIND OF PLAYING BOGEYMAN WITH CRITICAL RACE
THEORY? IS IT A REAL ISSUE IN SCHOOLS?
>> IT WAS INTRODUCED WHEN McAULIFFE WAS GOVERNOR.
>> SPLIT POLITIFACT SAID IT WAS FALSE.
>> I DON'T THINK EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS ADOPTED IT, THAT'S
PROBABLY RIGHT. BECAUSE
SOME HAVE OPTED OUT. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE
DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS BECAUSE PARENTS AREN'T ALLOWED TO KNOW.
THAT'S ONE OF THE KEY POINTS TONIGHT, THERE'S NO PLACE FOR
PARENTS' INVOLVEMENT IN CURRICULUM.
>> BIDEN WON THIS COUNTY BY 40 POINTS.
SO WHY ARE YOU HERE IN THIS REALLY BLUE COUNTY?
>> THOUGH IT'S A BLUE COUNTY, WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS EDUCATION
IS AN ISSUE THAT NOT ONLY IS GETTING OUR BASE EXCITED, IT'S
WINNING OVER INDEPENDENTS AND IT'S WINNING OVER TERRY'S BASE.
>> AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT REPUBLICANS
CAN BE, WHAT YOU CAN STAND FOR, HOW YOU CAN ADMINISTER THE CASE
FOR SWING VOTERS, HE'S A PERFECT VESSEL FOR REPUBLICANS.
>> PRESIDENT BIDEN IS STRUGGLING POLITICALLY.
HIS APPROVAL RATING CONTINUES TO SLIDE, DOWN TO 37% IN A COUPLE
OF NEW NATIONAL POLLS.
>> THERE'S A LOT OF WORRY THAT THE PRESIDENT'S BROADER
STRUGGLES WHEN IT COMES TO HIS APPROVAL RATINGS ARE TAKING A
TOLL ON McAULIFFE.
>> THE LATEST MONMOUTH POLL HAS McAULIFFE IN A DEAD HEAT WITH
REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER GLENN YOUNGKIN.
>> THERE HE IS.
>> HEY, TERRY, HOW ARE YOU, BUDDY?
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> 13 DAYS TO GO.
>> HOW'S "THE CIRCUS"?
>> YOU TELL ME, THE CIRCUS OF VIRGINIA.
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY, DID YOU VOTE YET?
GET IN THE VOTE, GET IN THERE AND VOTE!
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. VOTED YET?
>> NOT YET, I WILL BE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> WITH YOUR SIGN, BEAUTIFUL. HELLO, EVERYBODY!
THANKS FOR COMING OUT. HOW ARE YOU, MAN?
>> TERRY McAULIFFE WAS THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA IN 2017
WHEN ONE OF THE DARKEST AND MOST POLITICALLY CONSEQUENTIAL EVENTS
IN AMERICA IN THE 21st CENTURY TOOK PLACE AT THE UNITE THE
RIGHT RALLY IN CHARLOTTESVILLE.
>> JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US!
>> McAULIFFE CALLED DONALD TRUMP AND SAID, MR. PRESIDENT, YOU
HAVE TO DENOUNCE THE WHITE NATIONALISTS.
INSTEAD OF DOING THAT, TRUMP WENT ON TELEVISION AND
EQUIVOCATED, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE.
>> YOU ALSO HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE VERY FINE PEOPLE, ON BOTH SIDES.
>> AND TERRY McAULIFFE ASSUMED THE NATIONAL STAGE AS REALLY THE
MOST OUTSPOKEN DEMOCRAT IN THE COUNTRY.
>> TO ALL THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND THE NAZIS WHO CAME INTO
CHARLOTTESVILLE TODAY, GO HOME. YOU ARE NOT WANTED IN THIS GREAT
COMMONWEALTH.
>> I STILL THINK HEATHER HEYER, WHO WAS KILLED THAT DAY, I LOST
TWO STATE OFFICERS THAT DAY, ONE WAS MY PILOT, ANOTHER HAD BEEN
PART OF MY EXECUTIVE PROTECTION UNIT.
TRUMP AND THE EMBRACEMENT OF TRUMP BRINGS BACK ALL THE
DIVISIONS, THE HATRED. AND GLENN YOUNGKIN HAS EMBRACED
THEM. TRUMP'S ENDORSED HIM SIX TIMES.
HE'S THE ONE WHO MADE THE STATEMENT, I'M RUNNING BECAUSE
OF DONALD TRUMP? REALLY?
YOU'RE RUNNING BECAUSE OF DONALD
TRUMP? ALL THE RACISM, THE LIES, THE
MISOGYNIST LIES, REALLY?
>> WHY IS THIS RACE SO TIGHT?
>> THEY'RE ALWAYS TIGHT IN THE OFF YEARS, YOU CAN'T COMPARE US
TO THE PRESIDENTIAL, TURNOUT DROPS 30 POINTS.
>> THE STATE IS NOW BLUE.
>> IT'S A PURPLE STATE. PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO GET
MOTIVATED.
>> THE NATIONAL HEADWINDS, AND BIDEN IS UNPOPULAR IN THE STATE.
>> WE ARE FACING A LOT OF HEADWINDS FROM WASHINGTON, AS
YOU KNOW. THE PRESIDENT IS UNPOPULAR
TODAY, UNFORTUNATELY, HERE IN VIRGINIA.
>> THAT WAS THEN YOUR ANALYSIS, IS THAT STILL YOUR ANALYSIS?
NATIONAL HEADWINDS AND BIDEN'S POPULARITY?
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANALYSIS. I'VE GOT 20 BIG PLANS OUT,
HERE'S WHY TO VOTE FOR ME, I'M RUNNING AGAINST A GUY WHO WANTS
TO BAN ABORTIONS AND IS AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE.
I FOUGHT FOR YEARS TO MAKE THIS AN OPEN AND WELCOMING STATE.
WE'RE NOT GOING BACK. WE'RE GOING FORWARD.
THAT'S THE MESSAGE WE'LL CLOSE OUT THIS CAMPAIGN WITH.
BLAL
>> THERE'S SOME DOG WHISTLES OUT THERE.
CRITICAL RACE THEORY. MARGINALIZATION OF TRANSGENDER
STUDENTS AS WELL HAS BECOME A TOPIC DU JOUR IN THE SUBURBS.
THAT'S WHAT THE YOUNGKIN CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO DO.
>> CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS BECOMING A HOT BUTTON ISSUE IN
CONSERVATIVE CIRCLES AROUND THE COUNTRY.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF YOUNGKIN USING CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN
SCHOOLS?
>> TO SAY WE ARE INSTITUTING CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH IS JUST FALSE.
CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT TAUGHT IN VIRGINIA PUBLIC
SCHOOLS, IT'S JUST FALSE. AND NO REPUBLICAN EVER DEFINE
FOR ME WHAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY MEANS, RIGHT?
I THINK AFTER THE RACIAL RECKONING THAT OCCURRED LAST
YEAR, REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGNS AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET, GLENN
YOUNGKIN, AND ALL THE WAY DOWN, HAVE TRIED TO USE THIS TO DIVIDE
THE SUBURBS.
>> TO SCARE REPUBLICAN VOTERS.
>> TO SCARE REPUBLICAN VOTERS, YES.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK IS ON THE LINE FOR DEMOCRATS NATIONALLY IN
THIS RACE?
>> THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PRECURSOR TO WHAT'S GOING TO OCCUR NEXT
YEAR. SO ALL EYES ARE ON VIRGINIA FOR
A GOOD REASON, BECAUSE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SEATS IN THE HOUSE
AND IN THE SENATE THAT ARE GOING TO BE WON OR LOST IN THE SUBURBS
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> DEMOCRATS DO NOT WIN WITHOUT A LOT OF PARTICIPATION AND
SUPPORT FROM BLACK VOTERS, RIGHT?
BLACK VOTERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH CHARLOTTESVILLE, MONUMENTS,
RALPH NORTHAM IN BLACKFACE. HOW ARE BLACK VOTERS FEELING
HERE? ARE THEY REALLY GOING TO FEEL
MOTIVATED TO TURN OUT AFTER ALL OF THAT?
>> I THINK BLACK VOTERS KNOW WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE IN THIS
ELECTION. EVEN THOUGH DONALD TRUMP IS NOT
THE OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE ANY LONGER, HIS POLICIES AND HIS
APPROACH TO GOVERNANCE IS STILL LIVING ON IN STATES ALL OVER THE
UNITED STATES. MY FEAR IS, YOU GET SOMEONE LIKE
GLENN YOUNGKIN IN THE EXECUTIVE MANSION AND ALL THESE LAWS THAT
SORT OF HELPED ERASE VIRGINIA'S RACIST PAST COME BACK.
>> WE'RE AT AN EVENT THAT'S BEING BILLED AS ASIANS FOR
YOUNGKIN. THE QUESTION HERE IN A PLACE
LIKE VIRGINIA, WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE LIKE ASIAN VOTERS, IS
WHETHER YOUNGKIN'S MESSAGE ABOUT SCHOOLS AND LIBERAL OVERREACH IS
GOING TO RESONATE WITH THE GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC IN THE
UNITED STATES AND A SET OF VOTERS THAT THE GOP WOULD LOVE
TO HAVE IN THEIR COLUMN COME 2022.
>> WITH 13 DAYS TO GO AND A POLL JUST CAME OUT, WE'RE TIED.
WE'RE GOING TO RETURN OUR SCHOOLS TO A STANDARD AND
EXPECTATION OF EXCELLENCE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT OUR CHILDREN
DESERVE. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO NOT
JUST CHANGE THE FUTURE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA BUT TO
CHANGE THE FUTURE OF AMERICA, BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, AMERICA IS
WATCHING. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
THANK YOU. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> ALEX WAGNER, HOW ARE YOU? ASIAN JOURNALIST.
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING.
>> TERRY McAULIFFE IS SAYING YOUR INCLUSION OF CRITICAL RACE
THEORY IN YOUR CAMPAIGN IS BASICALLY A RACIST DOG WHISTLE.
A LOT OF FOLKS SAY CRITICAL RACE THEORY ISN'T ACTUALLY BEING
TAUGHT IN VIRGINIA SCHOOLS.
>> THIS IS THE FALSENESS OF THIS.
IT'S NOT A CLASS. IT'S ACTUALLY PART OF THE
PHILOSOPHY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO TEACH
CHILDREN THAT THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE PRIVILEGED OR THOSE
THAT ARE VICTIMS. WE'RE GOING TO TEACH CHILDREN
THAT THEY ALL HAVE AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES AND THEY CAN GO
GET THEM AND IT'S OUR JOBS TO HAVE OUR SCHOOLS EQUIP THEM TO
LIVE THEIR DREAMS. TERRY McAULIFFE HAS NO VISION AS
TO WHERE WE'RE GOING SO THIS IS WHY HE'S KICKING UP DUST ON SO
MANY THINGS. THIS IS WHY OUR CAMPAIGN HAS SO
MUCH MOMENTUM AND HIS IS FAILING.
IT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO WIN AND GET VIRGINIA MOVING TOGETHER.
>> YOU DESTROYED AMERICA, JOE!
>> IN ONE YEAR, HOORAY!
>> LET'S GO, TERRY, HE'S A FAIRY.
HOW ABOUT THAT ONE, HUH?
>> YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH DEMOCRATS KNOW WHAT'S AT STAKE?
TAKE A LOOK AT WHO IS COMING. FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA IS
COMING. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS.
>> TERRY McAULIFFE IS GOING BACK TO FIRE UP CROWDS AND BOOST
TURNOUT.
>> HELLO PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY! ARE YOU ALL FIRED UP?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> HOW WAS TODAY?
>> VERY GOOD. WE'RE OUT VOTING.
>> YOU HAVE A LITTLE DANCE, I GOT THAT ON VIDEO.
I LIKE THAT LITTLE JIG. THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE
McAULIFFE MOVES.
>> MY STAFF SAYS DON'T EVER DANCE, BUT I DO IT.
>> BUT YOU STAYED AWAY FROM THE BILL CLINTON OVERBITE.
>> EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN TRADEMARKS.
>> WELCOME BACK TO THE COMMONWEALTH.
>> BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY.
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
>> THANKS FOR COMING BACK, WE LOVE YOU, WE NEED YOU.
>> A LITTLE DANCE.
>> I MAY OR MAY NOT. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> WE'RE GREAT, WE HAVE ABOUT TEN DAYS TO GO.
IT'S EXCITING. YOU CAN FEEL THE ENERGY.
WE KNOCKED ON 102,000 DOORS LAST WEEKEND.
>> MY GOODNESS. THIS IS THE VIRGINIA GOVERNOR'S
RACE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE TIGHT.
THIS IS THE VERY NATURE AND CHARACTER OF IT.
>> IT'S ALWAYS TIGHT.
>> IT'S ALWAYS. IT'S ALWAYS.
SO EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. SITUATION NORMAL.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT IS MY HONOR TO INTRODUCE TO YOU,
OUR HISTORY AND RECORD-BREAKING VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA
HARRIS.
>> GOOD EVENING, VIRGINIA! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
A WHOLE LOT CAN EITHER BE CREATED OR DESTROYED IN FOUR
YEARS. BUT LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING
ALL OVER OUR COUNTRY. I SEE THE SIGNS ABOUT DON'T
TEXAS VIRGINIA. THAT'S RIGHT, DON'T TEXAS
VIRGINIA. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
LET'S DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ENSURE THAT WE ELECT TERRY
McAULIFFE AS THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT, GREAT COMMONWEALTH
OF VIRGINIA. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> LOUDOUN COUNTY IS THE WEALTHIEST COUNTY IN THE
COUNTRY. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF RACISM.
THERE ARE SILLY PEOPLE WHO SAY STUPID THINGS.
BUT IF YOU TALK ABOUT IT LESS, YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE THAT
DIVISION LESS.
I'VE SEEN WHAT THE TRAINING LOOKS LIKE.
THEY CALL IT CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TRAINING.
IT IS DEFINITELY RACIST. THEY ARE PUTTING DOWN THE CHILD
FOR THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
>> WHERE DO YOU SEE EVIDENCE OF THAT?
>> ONE PARTICULAR SIXTH GRADE AT A MIDDLE SCHOOL HERE, IT WAS A
RAP SONG PUSHING THE SLAUGHTER OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS.
THE LYRICS OF THE SONG WAS PUTTING DOWN ANDREW JACKSON AT
THE TIME.
>> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD CREDIT ANDREW JACKSON WITH THE
GENOCIDE OF THE NATIVE POPULATION.
>> YES. BUT HOW DO YOU DISCUSS IT
WITHOUT --
>> DENIGRATING WHITE PEOPLE?
>> YES. AT WHAT POINT DO YOU
FORGIVE AND STOP SEGREGATING? IT BECOMES LESS ABOUT MERIT AND
MORE ABOUT OH, WE'VE GOT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE OF COLOR THIS
ADVANTAGE, LET'S KEEP FEELING SORRY FOR THEM.
BUT I DON'T LOOK AT THE PERSON BASED ON THEIR SKIN COLOR.
I LOOK AT THEM BASED ON THEIR CHARACTER.
>> CAN I JUST INTERRUPT FOR ONE THING?
I THINK THERE ARE PROBABLY PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD AGREE
WITH EXACTLY THAT. BUT JUST TO BE FAIR ON THE OTHER
SIDE, THERE ARE PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY YOUNG BLACK MEN, FOR
EXAMPLE, WHO SAY, I WOULD LOVE TO NOT BE JUDGED ON THE COLOR OF
MY SKIN.
>> DO YOU THINK IT'S MORE ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN OR THEIR
ACTIONS? HOW THEY'RE DRESSED, HOW THEY'RE
PERCEIVED, HOW THEY RESPECT OTHERS.
IF YOU HAVE A KID THAT'S PULLED OVER BY A COP, DOES IT
REALLY MATTER WHAT COLOR THEY ARE OR IS IT THE RESPECT THEY
GIVE TO THAT POLICE OFFICER?
>> I GUESS I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF WHETHER YOU GUYS
THINK IT IS JUST A BETTER IDEA TO NOT TALK ABOUT RACISM?
>> IN SCHOOLS, SHOULDN'T THAT BE UP TO PARENTS TO TEACH THAT TO
THEIR CHILDREN RATHER THAN LET THE TEACHER?
>> LET'S JUST USE SLAVERY AS AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE THAT KEEPS
COMING UP IN CRITICAL RACE THEORY.
THE TRICKY THING IS SLAVERY WAS A RACIAL CONSTRUCT, PEOPLE
WERE ENSLAVED BECAUSE THEY WERE A CERTAIN RACE.
SO HOW DO YOU TEACH ABOUT SLAVERY IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
TALK ABOUT RACE?
>> I'M A PARENT, I'M NOT AN EDUCATOR.
>> SO GLENN YOUNGKIN IS YOUR GUY?
>> YES. HE DOESN'T WANT TO PUSH THE
RACISM NARRATIVE. HE WANTS TO GIVE KIDS A GOOD
EDUCATION.
>> EDUCATION HAS BECOME THE FLASHPOINT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
>> YOU KNOW WHY?
>> TELL ME.
>> YOU DON'T MESS WITH OUR KIDS.
>> FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA HITS THE TRAIL.
THIS AS THE POLLS SHOW THE GOVERNOR'S RACE IN VIRGINIA IS
NECK AND NECK.
>> YOUNGKIN KICKED OFF A TEN-DAY BUS DOOR TO FINISH THE CAMPAIGN.
>> WE'RE GOING TO STAND UP FOR PARENTS WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING
OUR KIDS SAFE AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET WASHINGTON COME IN
HERE AND ACTUALLY TRY TO -- [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
BECAUSE PARENT MATTER. PARENTS MATTER.
>> THE THING ABOUT BEING A PARENT IS YOU WILL DO ANYTHING
TO MAKE SURE THEIR LIVES ARE BETTER.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE WASTING ON THESE PHONY, TRUMPED-UP
CULTURAL WARS. WHEN YOUR SUPPORTERS HOLD A
RALLY WHERE THEY PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO A FLAG THAT WAS
FLOWN AT THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6, THAT'S A PROBLEM.
THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN GETTING
ELECTED AND MAYBE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IS ONE OF THOSE
THINGS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
GET READY, GET READY GET READY FOR THE FIGHT OF
YOUR LIFE HOW DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT
GET READY FOR THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE
