MY BACK ONE TIME.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED
LAST NIGHT.
SO MANY DIFFERENTIAL ELEMENTS TO
THIS.
EVERYONE SAYS WELL, A STATE VOTE
IS A STATE VOTE AND THAT’S IT.
I THINK VERY FEW PEOPLE LOOK AT
THIS THINK THIS WAS JUST ABOUT
VIRGINIA.
WILL.
AINSLEY: HAPPENING IN NEW
JERSEY.
BRIAN: ONE THING BRING OUT HUGE
RISK AND BAD OBVIOUSLY TACTIC
FOR McAULIFFE TO BRING OUT THE
FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
STACEY ABRAMS WHO WAS THE ROCK
STAR OF GEORGIA TO BRING OUT
JILL BIDEN TO ASK KAMALA HARRIS
TO CUT A TAPE AND GO 300
CHURCHES.
AINSLEY: HELP HIM MORE THAN IT
HURT HIM.
BRIAN: PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA AT
THIS POINT IN TIME TO BE ABOUT
VIRGINIA.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE ME LOOK HOW
POPULAR MY FRIENDS ARE.
AND IN THE END NOW THEY ALL
LOSE.
THEY GO DOWN WITH McAULIFFE.
AND ACTUALLY PRESIDENT OBAMA
WORKED IN NEW JERSEY AND, MAN,
THAT DIDN’T HELP.
AINSLEY: ALSO ABOUT THE ISSUES.
DOWN IN VIRGINIA SO WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THEIR
SCHOOLS.
I THINK THIS IS A REFERENDUM ON
BIDEN AND ON PROGRESSIVE
MOVEMENT AND ON CRT.
I THINK THAT ALL THESE SUBURBAN
PARENTS ARE SPEAKING OUT.
THEY’RE GETTING INVOLVED FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
THESE ARE PARENTS THAT NEVER
REALLY WERE INVOLVED IN SCHOOL
BOARD ISSUES.
NOT INVOLVED IN POLITICS AT ALL.
AND THEY MIGHT HAVE VOTED ONE
PARTY OR THE OTHER BASED ON
THEIR FAMILIES, BUT THIS WAS
ABOUT THE ISSUES.
STEVE: RIGHT.
AND FOR THE PARENTS WHO LIVED
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC WHERE THE
KIDS WERE AT HOME, THEY LOOKED
OVER THEIR SHOULDERS FOR A YEAR
AND THEY SAID OKAY, WAIT A
MINUTE, WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING?
AND THEN THEY SAY HEY, WHAT ARE
YOU TEACHING THEM?
AND IT’S LIKE WE ARE NOT
TEACHING THEM THAT.
THEY SAID I SAW IT WITH MY OWN
TWO EYES.
ACCORDING TO THE EXIT POLLING IN
VIRGINIA.
NUMBER ONE ISSUE BY A LONG WAYS
WAS THE ECONOMY FOLLOWED BY
CORONAVIRUS AND THEN, OF COURSE,
EDUCATION.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW TERRY
McAULIFFE NATIONALIZED THIS BY
BRINGING IN DEMOCRATIC ALL STARS
WHICH CLEARLY BACKFIRED PEOPLE
WANT THE TO TALK ABOUT THE LOCAL
ISSUES.
FOR THE MOST PART GLENN YOUNGKIN
KEPT DONALD TRUMP ARMS LENGTH
THROUGH THE CAMPAIGN.
WHAT’S INTERESTING WHEN YOU LOOK
AT "THE WASHINGTON POST" THIS
MORNING, IN THE REDDEST PART OF
VIRGINIA, WAY OUT IN SOUTHWEST
VIRGINIA ABOUT WHERE LAWRENCE
WAS YESTERDAY OUT IN ROANOKE,
COAL COUNTRY, GLENN YOUNGKIN
ACTUALLY GOT A HIGHER PERCENTAGE
OF THE VOTE THAN DONALD TRUMP
DID IN 2020 BECAUSE HE MADE IT
ABOUT THE ISSUES OF INTEREST TO
PEOPLE IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF
VIRGINIA.
AINSLEY: A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WE
INTERVIEWED YESTERDAY.
STEVE: LOOK AT THE MAP RIGHT
THERE THE BLUE ARE THE TERRY
McAULIFFE COUNTIES, AND UP IN
THE EXTREME NORTHEAST, THAT IS
WHERE THE VIRGINIA, THOSE ARE
THE SUBURBS JUST OUTSIDE OF
WASHINGTON, D.C.
FAIRFAX AND LOUDOUN COUNTY.
AINSLEY: WE ALSO INTERVIEWED A
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THIS H.
MIGRATED INTO OUR COUNTRY.
THEY ARE CITIZENS, THEY’RE ABLE
TO VOTE HERE.
THEY SAID THEY ARE SO FEARFUL
THAT FOR THE DIRECTION OF OUR
COUNTRY, THEY DON’T WANT OUR
COUNTRY TO END UP LIKE THEIRS,
THE COUNTRIES THAT THEY WERE
FLEEING FROM.
EARLIER ON THE SHOW MORNING.
WE INTERVIEWED TWO OF THOSE
INDIVIDUALS, TWO PARENTS IN
LOUDOUN COUNTY OR IN FAIRFAX,
VIRGINIA.
ONE IS XI VAN FLEET AND THE
OTHER IS ASRA NOMANI.
LISTEN TO THEIR STORY.
>> AS A PERSON NEVER INVOLVED IN
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, I WORKED SO
HARD FOR YOUNGKIN’S CAMPAIGN.
YESTERDAY I STOOD IN COLD WIND
FOR NINE HOURS HANDING OUT BALLOTS.
I DID IT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN
YOUNGKIN.
UM -- I’M SORRY.
AINSLEY: THAT’S OKAY.
>> FOR ME, THIS RACE BETWEEN
YOUNGKIN AND McK4R5U6 IS A
RACE BETWEEN AMERICAN IDEAL AND
MARXIST IDEOLOGY.
>> THIS WAS A REFERENDUM ON
PARENTS.
AND THIS ENTIRE RIDICULOUS WOKE
IDEOLOGY THAT HAS SWEEPED INTO
OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.
I’M AN IMMIGRANT MUSLIM LIBERAL
DEMOCRAT, AND I VOTED FOR GLENN
YOUNGKIN BECAUSE GLENN YOUNGKIN
ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING THAT SO
MANY POLITICIANS AND POLICY
MAKERS HAVE DONE AND THAT IS
HONORED PARENTS.
BRIAN: THOSE ARE SOME OF
AINSLEY’S INTERVIEW FROM EARLIER
THAT TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE
IMPACT.
I THINK IT’S PRETTY COOL, TOO,
ON SUNDAY NBC HAD A POLL AND
PROBABLY OUTRAGED BY THE RESULTS
IT DIDN’T RUN FOR THEM IT TURNS
OUT OF THE REPUBLICANS HAVE A
DOUBLE DIGITAL LEAD WHEN IT
COMES TO WHO DO YOU FAVOR IN
TERMS OF BORDER SECURITY?
NO KIDDING, INFLATION TO HANDLE
THAT THE ECONOMY, NATIONAL
SECURITY, AND GETTING THINGS
DONE.
OVERWHELMINGLY DOUBLE DIGITAL
ADVANTAGE FOR REPUBLICANS, THE
PARTY THAT JUST BARELY LOST THE
SENATE, CLOSED THE GAP IN THE
HOUSE BUT LOST THE WHITE HOUSE,
ONE YEAR AGO.
SO IT’S A PRETTY REMARKABLE
TRANSFORMATION.
BUT I ALSO THINK TO DRILL DOWN
ON WHAT BARACK OBAMA SAID WHEN
HE CAME.
INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING THAT
THERE WERE ISSUES WITH SCHOOLS
AND WE SHOULD LOOK AT THEM, HE
CALLED IT A TRUMPED UP CULTURE
WAR WHERE PRESIDENT BIDEN CAME,
HAD A 60 MINUTE SPEECH.
HE MENTIONED TRUMP DOZENS OF
TIMES.
NOBODY REALLY THINKS DONALD
TRUMP HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH
IT.
AND WHEN McAULIFFE SAID
INSTEAD OF CRT HERE’S HOW I
WOULD CHANGE IT.
HE SAID IT DIDN’T EXIST.
HE ALSO SAID PARENTS HAVE NO
ROLE IN EDUCATION.
THAT THE TEACHERS FACES ARE TOO
WHITE AND THEN, OF COURSE,
LINKING TRUMP AND
CHARLOTTESVILLE TOGETHER FELL
FLAT.
HE NEVER ADJUSTED WHICH IS
ASTOUNDING.
BECAUSE THIS GUY WAS A
STRATEGIST GETTING OTHER PEOPLE
ELECTED, HE COULDN’T HANDLE A
RE-ELECTION FOR THE MOST PART
BECAUSE HE WON THE FIRST TIME IN
A STATE THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO
HAVE KNOWN SO WELL.
STEVE: TERRY McAULIFFE WAS
ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE.
HE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHMENT
CANDIDATE AND POLITICIAN HIS
ENTIRE CAREER.
WITH QUITE UNDERSTANDABLY THE
ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA WHEN IT WAS
QUITE CLEAR THAT REPUBLICAN IN
THE FLEECE VEST WAS GOING TO WIN
WELL, DID THEY LIKE THIS IT?
POW BE THE JUDGE.
>> WHEN THIS ELECTION IS OVER IN
VIRGINIA WE WILL KNOW WE SEEN
THE EMERGENT OF DELTA VARIANT OF
TRUMPISM.
SAME DISEASE SPREADS A LOT
FASTER AND GET A LOT MORE
PLACES.
>> THE EXIT POLL SHOWS
INTERESTING THAT THE CORONAVIRUS
OR THAT THE VIRUS WAS LOW
IMPORTANCE TO MANY VOTERS.
>> FASCINATING.
>> EDUCATION WHICH IS CODE FOR
WHITE PARENTS DON’T LIKE THE
IDEA OF TEACHING ABOUT RACE.
>> HE FLEW AN UNRESURRECTION
FLAG AT HIS RALLIES.
HE PLAYED DUMB AT A ZOOM RALLY.
HE DID NOT REALLY PUT MUCH
DISTANCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND
DONALD TRUMP ON THE BIG LIE OR
THE DEADLY INSURRECTION.
>> THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT JOE
BIDEN WILL NOT BE HAPPY TO HEAR
AND THAT ALSO SHOWS HOW
INCREDIBLY DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY
IS.
>>
STEVE: SO LAST NIGHT WAS A
WAKE-UP CALL.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" TALKED TO
A COUPLE OF CURRENT OPERATIVES.
FOR DEMOCRATS, THE HISTORIC
VIRGINIA TURNOUT, WHICH WAS OVER
3 MILLION, WHICH IS BIGGER THAN
IT’S EVER BEEN IN GOOB TOLER
RACE.
THE HISTORIC VOTER TURNOUT
SHOWED ALARMINGLY HIGH
ENTHUSIASM IN CONSERVATIVE
STRONG HOLDS AND A SHIFT IN THE
KIND OF SUBURBAN AREAS THAT
POWERED THE DEMOCRATS TO WIN IN
2018 AND 2020.
IT SHOWS THE SUBURBANS REPUBLICA
SUBURBAN INDEPENDENTS TO VOTE
FOR REPUBLICANS.
IT’S THE INDEPENDENTS WHO YOU
HAVE GOT TO GET ON YOUR SIDE.
SUDDENLY AFTER IT BEING BILLY
BLUE FOR A LONG TIME, VIRGINIA
IS A SWING STATE.
AINSLEY: I WONDER HOW MANY
TEACHERS IN VIRGINIA SUPPORTED
YOUNGKIN.
HE WAS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT HIGHER
WAGES.
MORE SPECIAL ED.
HE WANTS TO BUILD MORE OF THESE
CHARTER SCHOOLS.
HE SAYS I’M GOING TO HAVE 20
MORE CHARTER SCHOOLS.
STEVE: TERRY McAULIFFE SAID
GLENN YOUNGKIN WAS GOING TO FIRE
LIKE 40,000 TEACHERS WHICH WAS
NOT TRUE.
AINSLEY: AS FAR AS THE MILITARY
IS CONCERNED CUT TAXES ON
RETIREMENT INCOME FOR VETERANS.
HIGHER SALARIES FOR THEM.
BETTER EQUIPMENT FOR THEM.
BAN CRT OPPOSING THE MASK
MANDATES AND VACCINE MANDATES.
BRIAN: HE WON’T EMBARRASS THE
NATION BY PULLING OUT OF
AFGHANISTAN THE WAY HE DID.
JUST REAL QUICK BECAUSE I KNOW
CARLEY SHIMKUS HAS A TEMPER IF
WE DON’T TOSS TO HER RIGHT AWAY.
JOY REID CALLED WHITE PARENTS
DON’T WANT RACE THOUGHT IN
SCHOOLS.
ANDREA MITCHELL SAYS YOUNGKIN
TEXTBOOK CASE OF DISHONORED
CULTURE WARRIOR GOT HIM VICTORY.
DISHONEST?
IT WAS PARENTS SPEAKING AT A
SCHOOL BOARD.
THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE TO ME.
AINSLEY: JOY REID’S POINT THE
PARENTS WE TALKED TO IN VIRGINIA
THEY ARE ALL FOR TEACHING
HISTORY BUT THEY JUST DON’T WANT
THEIR CHILDREN AND THEY PULLED
OUT SOME OF THE BOOKS THAT
ACTUALLY SHOWED US, SHOWED THEM
TO US THAT SAID YOU BASICALLY
NEED TO APOLOGIZE IF YOU ARE A
CERTAIN COLOR.
STEVE AND THE OTHER BIG NEWS
STORY ASIDE FROM THE WORLD
SERIES, IS THAT THE FACT THAT IN
NEW JERSEY, ACCORDING TO THE
A.P., THE REPUBLICAN IS STILL
LEADING BY 1100 VOTES.
AND IF HE WERE TO WIN, YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE HAVE SAID IF GLENN
YOUNGKIN WINS IT’S GOING TO BE
AN EARTHQUAKE.
A GLOBAL TSUNAMI IF JACK CHITED
REALLY WINS AND HE IS LEADING
RIGHTS NOW.
BUT THERE ARE STILL A LOT MORE
VOTES.
AINSLEY: DO WE KNOW WHEN THAT
RACE WILL BE CALLED?
STEVE: UP TO CLOSE TO 90% OF THE
PRECINCTS REPORTING.
BRIAN: THE THREE OF YOU WAS WILL
DECIDE WHEN IT’S OVER.
STEVE: WE RELY UPON THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS.
BRIAN: WE RELY ON CARLEY.
CARLEY: IT HAS TO BE POSTMARKED
BY YESTERDAY BUT BUT IT CAN BE
