Now, only one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine dollars, plus zero percent interest for twenty four months. Only for a limited time, Ainsley Democrats reeling from a stunning upset, as Republican Glenn, Youngkin wins Virginias Governors race, Steve Politicos, is calling out the democratic campaign strategy, arguing that without Trump himself on the ballot they had merely rented. Some of the suburban votes that had shifted their way running against Trump is apparently not a winning formula, despite what they did. This New Jersey and Virginia Brian, but running against him is also fool. A hardy MIKE Pompeo served as Secretary of State Ncia Director and joins us now. Mr secretary thanks for joining us, I know you have a perspective that im sure you want to share about why things went so firmly the Republicans way as they are about to possibly grab the governorship in New Jersey to join Glenn Youngkin in Virginia. What is the reason? Why do you think
well, good morning? First of all, congratulations to Governor Elect Youngkin great races run in Virginia good campaigns, but in the end parents matter, if education matters, the left has left them. Remember Brian in this place, they closed the schools, they kept these kids out of schools and when they let them come back, they put them in the masks and then they subjected them to the risk they might be assaulted in their bathrooms. These things mattered, then they tell parents, you cant call them moms. They forgot who we are. It reminds me, Brian of when President Obama talked about bitter clingers, clinging to their guns and their bibles. They lost the central understanding of who we are as Americans, and so the election are got away from them. I suspect, when President Biden woke up in Glasgow this morning. He sees this as a real nightmare because he knows his party has been hijacked by the progressive left, Ainsley, yeah
and then Mcauliffe said parents shouldnt be involved in the schools. Do you think this is a referendum on Biden? There are a lot of military folks that live Virginia yeah. I think basically, both of those are true. I think this is definitely about parents reclaiming their kids when it costs one hundred dollars to fill their gas tank. These are things that strike at the heart of parents who want just the best for their kids, and here in Virginia, is of course its the case, so many soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, not only at the Pentagon, Virginia Beach, author folk even knows somebody Norfolk. Everybody knows somebody who served in Afghanistan and they are royally hacked off at the debacle this Afghanistan. This is about incompetence and not understanding the american people. Ainsley Steve, you know, Mr Secretary, the it looks like polls got it wrong, because this New Jersey, the day before people, went to vote yesterday. I think Mr Murphy was ahead by eight or nine
and right now, Jack Ciattarelli is actually ahead of him. Ask then, when you look at the Commonwealth of Virginia, where youre at you know they said because of early voting. The early voting votes would benefit Terry Mcauliffe, so its pretty much a real horse race, but ultimately it looks like Glenn Youngkin is going to win by two points: yeah, we should have given up paying any attention to these liberal pollsters an awful long time ago. I think Steve. We watched a race that was deeply about the american value set last night, just simple things about local school control and parents taking care of their kids that these students, arent creatures of the state Mcauliffe, ran a race where he embraced the Seiu, the most radical teachers union. He talked about abortion, Glenn Youngkin, punched back, these arent fake culture, wars. These are about how we live our lives here in the United States
of America. We want a congressional. We won a congressional race out in Texas last night. This is an Hearn phenomenon. Ive been campaigning for the attorney General Elect for Governor Youngkin ive been out all across the country. This is a national phenomenon where Americans are reclaiming the country, really good news. You can tell I cant take the smile off my taste, because I think Americans, across a broad political perspective, can see that weve been headed down a bad path with President Biden and theyre about to change that much like they did. When I came to Congress for the first time in twenty eleven, when we won sixty plus seats in the House of Representatives, Steve from the great state of Kansas, MIKE Pompeo, Sir, thank you very much for joining us live. Thank you, Steve Brian, a four seat advantage in the house, and this could be it for Nancy Pelosi. This was a off year election and it just has a ripple effect. I think from here Steve and youve got to wonder whats going to happen now with those two big bills of Joe Bidens
are the progressives going to say? Well, this is a good reason to do it. While we still can or.
