>> Laura: I’M LAURA INGRAHAM AND NIGHT.
>> Laura: I’M LAURA INGRAHAM AND
THIS IS THE INGRAHAM FROM
WASHINGTON TONIGHT.
WITH MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF THE
VOTE COUNTED, REPUBLICAN GLENN
YOUNGKIN NOW HAS A CLEAR
ADVANTAGE IN THE VIRGINIA
GUBERNATORIAL RACE.
FOX NEWS NOW PROJECTS THAT
McAULIFFE NEEDS TO WIN ROUGHLY
TWO-THIRDS OF THE OUTSTANDING
VOTE TO CHANGE THAT OUTCOME.
IT’S A LETY TALL ORDER.
AND THE FOX NEWS DECISION DESK
IS NOT YET READY TO MAKE A
PROJECTION BUT AGAIN YOUNGKIN
HAS A VERY CLEAR AND SDOOIF I
HAVE ADVANTAGE AT THIS MOMENT.
TONIGHT, THE SEISMIC EVENT THAT
IS THIS VIRGINIA’S GOVERNOR’S
RACE.
WE HAVE REPORTERS ON THE GROUND
AND FULL ELECTION ANALYSIS FROM
SOME OF THE BEST POLITICAL
THINKERS IN THIS COUNTRY
THROUGHOUT THE HOUR AND YOU’VE
BEEN HEARING ME TALK ABOUT THIS
FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE LAST
YEAR.
BY ALL ACCOUNTS, GLENN YOUNGKIN
HAS OUTPERFORMED FROM DEEP BLUE
SUBURBAN NORTHERN VIRGINIA TO
THE RURAL SOUTHWEST.
AND IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER, EVERYONE HAS TO
REMEMBER THIS, THAT FEW REALLY
THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD HAVE
BEEN POSSIBLE JUST ONE YEAR AGO.
BUT, IN 9.5 SHORT MONTHS CORN
POP’S BUDDY HAS LAID WEST TO THE
DREAM OF A POST TRUMP POLITICAL
NIRVANA.
WE VIRGINIANS HAVE WATCHED IN
HORROR AS BIDEN HAS DESTROYED
ALMOST EVERY ADVANTAGE AMERICANS
HAVE OVER OTHER CITIZENS OF
OTHER COUNTRIES.
OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, OUR
WORK FORCE, OUR UNITY, OUR
BORDER, OUR MILITARY’S PRESTIGE.
THEN THEY SAW ANOTHER RELIC OF
THE PAST TERRY McAULIFFE PROMISE
MORE OF THE SAME ADDING FUEL TO
THE FIRE, THE CYNICAL AND RAV I
HAD ANTI AMERICANISM THAT HAS
INFECTED OUR SCHOOL.
AN ERRAND BOY FOR THE TEACHER’S
UNION McAULIFFE SAW NOTHING
WRONG WITH LOUDOUN COUNTY, ALL A
BIG TO DO ABOUT NOTHING.
A CLOSE RACE IN A STATE THAT
TRUMP LOST BY TEN THAT HASN’T
ELECTED A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR
FOR 12 YEARS WOULD HAVE STILL
BEEN GOOD NEWS FOR THE GOP.
BUT AN OUTRIGHT WIN FOR YOUNGKIN
IS 9.8 ON THE RICHTER SCALE WITH
FAR LESS POLICIES BURIED IN THE
RUBBLE.
NOW, THIS NIGHT WOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE MAN
DETERMINED TO PROVE THE CRITICS
WRONG, GLENN YOUNGKIN HIMSELF.
HE’S ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING
CANDIDATES WE’VE EVER SEEN.
HE WASN’T AFRAID TO CAMPAIGN IN
LIBERAL NORTHERN VIRGINIA.
HE WASN’T AFRAID TO TAKE ON THE
SCHOOL BOARDS AND THE RADICALS
THAT ARE RUNNING OUR ONCE GREAT
EDUCATION SYSTEM INTO THE
GROUND.
HE WASN’T AFRAID TO STAND UP FOR
GUN RIGHTS, FOR SANE ECONOMIC
POLICIES, AND, YES, FOR AMERICAN
HISTORY.
MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE ATTACKED
SAVAGELY BY THE MEDIA MACHINE
FOLD.
THEY MELT.
TRUMP DIDN’T.
AND GLENN YOUNGKIN DIDN’T
EITHER.
HE JUST KEPT PUSHING.
REMEMBER HOW DEMOCRATS FELT
ELECTION NIGHT A YEAR AGO?
THEY WERE TRIUMPHANT, THEY WERE
ELATED.
BRAG ARTS THEY WERE SEEMINGLY
UNSTOPPABLE.
OF COURSE, REPUBLICANS, MAN,
DEMORALIZED, ANGRY.
OH, YEAH, ANGRY, FONDANT.
MANY OF YOU TURNED OFF YOUR TVs
FOR MONTHS.
HOW YOU FEELING NOW?
YOU SHOULD FEEL REALLY HOPEFUL
AND OPTIMISTIC.
YOUNGKIN WAS RIGHT.
THIS IS A COMMON-SENSE MOVEMENT
RUN BY NORMAL, AVERAGE PEOPLE
WHO WANT A BETTER LIFE FOR
THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY.
A COUNTRY WHICH IS NOT
SYSTEMATICALLY RACIST, BY THE
WAY.
AND WE’RE SICK OF SEEING PEOPLE
CANCELLED OR THREATENED OR
INTIMIDATED OR SHAMED FOR
SPEAKING THEIR MINDS OR SAYING
NO TO A VACCINE.
AND, BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS ON
THE OTHER NETWORKS, THEY’RE
TAKING ALL THE WRONG LESSONS
FROM THIS I SAY RA.
I THINK THAT THE REAL OMINOUS
THING IS THAT CRITICAL RACE
THEORY, WHICH ISN’T REAL, TURNED
THE SUBURBS 15 POINTS TO THE
TRUMP INSURRECTION-ENDORSED
REPUBLICAN.
>> WE’VE SEEN THE EMERGENCE OF
THE DELTA VARIANT OF TRUMPISM.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOUNGKIN, SAME
DISEASE, BUT SPREADS A LOT
FASTER.
IT CAN GET A LOT MORE PLACES.
>> Laura: REMEMBER WHEN VAN
JONES WAS THE BIG UNITER WHO
REACHED ACROSS THE AISLE?
THAT’S OUT THE WINDOW.
LAST YEAR DEMOCRATS HAD SO MANY
FORCES GOING THEIR WAY, THE
COVID PANIC, THE BLM HYSTERIA,
THE VICIOUS ANTI TRUMP FERVOR.
BUT TONIGHT SHOWS US TRUMP’S
POLICIES WERE IN FACT VERY
POPULAR BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY
WORKED.
IN RETROSPECT, IT MAY BE THAT
2020 WAS NOT THE BEGINNING FOR
