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.
