Former Virginia Gov. Douglas Wilder Slams Terry McAuliffe for Marginalizing Black Candidates
"Two years ago, Terry McAuliffe remember he's the bagman for the Clintons turned, McAuliffe called for all three persons occupying the offices of governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general to resign. All three Democrats. Governor Northam had been shown pictured in his school's yearbook in blackface and subsequent revelations by age Mark Herring acknowledged appearing in blackface in 1985. What is it with this black face and liberals and Democrats seriously? The media ran the story of two women accusing lieutenant governor Fairfax of sexual assault actually raped. Denied by Fairfax. But former governor McAuliffe within minutes thereafter proclaimed the accusations to be credible. I think incredible by the way Today. McAuliffe is asking people to vote for the attorney general who served as his attorney general and seeks the continuing a sport supportive Northam. No reasons have been given to the voters as to Terry's change of mind, nor has any reason being made why McCulloch felt compelled to violate Virginia's longstanding precedent. By choosing to run again against persons who had far more experience he means of the Democrat primary. Then he As he had never held elective office of any kind when he ran. All of the candidates he opposed, except one were black, including two women. Whom he felt not qualified to be given the chance that he'd been given at last report. Governor Northam is what drawn his apology for black face. Is what Northam and Herring did all right. By any standard is McCullum going to tell the voters of the credible evidence that he has relative to Fairbanks? Does this suggest? That if you're a black person in Virginia If you've got to think about who you're going to vote for it, then you ain't black. Stay tuned.

"Why that's happening and how we can get out of it. Jim Gilmore, former Virginia governor will be with us at five o'clock. We talked about Virginia politics. Now we have a real race primary concluding for the Democrats yesterday, and I struck about Europe with him. He's been an ambassador for regional politics there, and he'll tell us all about what he thinks Joe Biden's trip. They're just getting underway today and then Dr Monica Gandhi will be with us at 5 35. We'll talk Covid and Children with Her, But joining me right now, I'm very excited to say is the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in the Commonwealth of Virginia When some Sears when some great to have you back with us. Yes, Ben. Thank you for having me back on and I would love to say hello, Hello to your listeners, and I hope you will consider voting for the Republican ticket this November, folks because we want hope and opportunity, not woken broke. Well, that's the spirit you've got. You do have the Democrat primary resolved now, Terry McAuliffe top of the ticket as expected, with 62% of the vote in your race, the lieutenant governor's race. Hala Ayala is now at the Top there with 39% of the vote, and Mark Herring is now once again at the top of the ticket for attorney general. What do you make of this Democratic ticket? Here's what I'm saying. I want to start out by saying this very thing. People are being cancelled, meaning they're being silent. They don't know what to say. They're being told what to think. Words don't mean what they used to mean anymore, right is now wrong up is now down. And so you know, people are tired of being sick and tired and little revolution is coming for all of us, because once they run out of Republicans, they're going to come for you and they've already started and I know enough Democrats and independents are saying he enough is enough. They're tired of the bickering. They're tired of the white against Black Asian Get the rights that this it's just constant, divisive fight that the liberal establishment has given us and I'm saying to you I'm running to be lieutenant governor for all Virginians, and, like Rodney King said, Can't we all just get along? And if that's what you want that I'm asking you to please consider voting for change. Voting for the Republican ticket. You know Winston stairs one of the big areas that you will have to win in order to or at least make some gains in. That's really, really the game here in order to win, the lieutenant governor's seat is in Northern Virginia. You're going to have to pick up a bunch of voters in Northern Virginia. That's just the way Virginia politics work. And right now we're watching a pretty dramatic story play out in Loudon County. A PE coach there. Tanner across a couple weeks ago, speaks up at a school board meeting and expressed his opposition to a transgender policy that he believes would be a violation of his religious conscience and his obligation to tell the truth to the Children that are in his care. The school board and the school system says Sorry. You're going to be punished. They put him on paid leave. He just fought his way through. The court process got reinstated to the classroom while Case gets litigated in that court in Loudon County. Will this be an issue for you during the campaign? Are you going to make this a focus on what's going on in our schools, particularly in Northern Virginia? Am because, you know, I am former vice president of the State Board of Education, and when I looked at the results of the latest report card, it's the Nate study the national Assessment of Educational Proficiency, and it tests the kids all around the country in the 4th 8th and the 12th. You hear their learning and what they're if they're proficient, and so we find that 84% of black kids by the eighth grade are failing math and 70% of Latino kids are failing Eighth grade math. You know what that is? That's the school to prison pipeline starting and so we don't have time. We don't have time. Teach critical race theory. We need our kids learning because they need hope, and they need a future and we need them to get good jobs and they're not going to get it. If we're not teaching them this and and let me tell you accelerated math. My God, We need that. That's what got man to the loan. And do you know who helped to do that? Three black women. Everybody saw that movie hidden figures. If they didn't have accelerated math, we wouldn't have gotten there. So this notion that black kids can't do in Latino kids can't do. I'm sick and tired of being used by the boat establishment. I'm sick of it, and a lot of us are sick of it. Yes. In fact, critical race theory is not only a waste of time, it actually would be to tell the very black students you say are failing in their proficiency in math, for instance. That Look, It's not your fault. Don't worry about it. There is a system that that is designed to keep you from succeeding. You would tell young people who are being educated that they are being held down and they are not the determinants of their own future. This is what it's all about. And we've heard this phrase before, if the low expectations of soft bigotry and it says that black skin black kids, Latino kids, you know whatever we can't do, and it also falls in line with a photo ID. You know, I just have to have some documents notarized. Are you? You know what? I have to have a photo ID e folks. Are you telling me that black people don't have important documents that need to be notarized. So we have important papers that need to be notarized so that we would need a photo. I d You know, this narrative of black people can't black people can't black people can't it just It means us and it victimizes us and I'm all about lighting a candle. Because the curse the darkness is to be a victim. I am not a victim. My father came to America with a dollar 75 from Jamaica, and he put himself through school because education is what lifted him. I was at Booker T. Washington's home out here, and we'll party hearty Virginia. That man came up from slavery, the title of his book, That's right, and if he can do all that he did. Through education. Then we need education. And that's why folks you're going to get school choice when I'm elected when the whole ticket is elected, we're going to get full choice because it is for our money to go with the child and not with a brick building and we're going to have a voucher system that says you accept all Children because they're doing it in Florida. Let me tell you how it works. You get a voucher And of course, you have to accept all Children. You don't just get the cream of the crop, and then I have found because studies show that by the third or fourth year These kids are back on grade level or above grade level and their studies. Meanwhile, their cohorts who stayed and public schools they're still Back behind behind the eight ball, and so If you do what you've always done, you're going to get what you've always got, and our kids are going to fail, And we can't afford that. You know why? Because it's not just about Virginia. It's not about the country. It's about America remaining a superpower folks. China has more honor students, then we even have students. This is what we're talking about. It's about national security. It's about US remaining superpower. It's about us remaining, a place that people can run to. Amazing win some stairs. Are we going to see you on the campaign trail a lot this year. I told you I am running, running running. I have bags under my eyes because I am making sure that I hit every place in Virginia, the Southwest. I don't want anyone to think they're not important. I want everybody to realize that I will support all of Virginia. I'm not just running for a certain sector and you know, I'd like to say this about my poet. You know, there are certain things that she has done that proved us. She is not who we need. For example, she has told for the past four years, um point environmental organizations in Virginia she would never take They operated utilities, money and the minute and so she took money from these environmental groups. And then the minute that $100,000 was waved in front of her face. She forgot all those principles. She forgot all those promises that she made and she took that $100,000. So let me tell you, she stabbed us in the back. And we now know that she has a price. That price is $100,000. And if you don't have that you can forget about it. And by the way, she never gave back those environmental groups their money. So Ayala is for a young You remember that? Win some series is for Virginia went some serious. Thank you for joining us.

"A report last week in Pennsylvania about what they heard from all the witnesses. And what comes next, I suppose, is the remedy. But you're right. It was the Supreme Court that did all this. All of the mischief were election officials, particularly in Philadelphia and surrounding counties, who broke the rules and the Supreme Court who just nullified the rules. But that doesn't get past the fact that there were people who are registering to vote after they died. We know who they are. We have submitted this to the federal court Now we settled the case. But this has got to stop s. So what more are are you guys doing over Public Interest Legal foundation in terms of because the story goes well beyond Pennsylvania, as you know. And it first. What? What more we pursuing another state specifically in Virginia, where I know that you've been attempting Tol make some of these issues as well as in Maryland. Well, a Maryland. We just want a case against Maryland because they weren't giving us the data, so we had to sue them to get to get the data in federal court. But Virginia you know, Virginia has a lot of problems on particularly the chief problem is a radical attorney general who, when we Maryland was accepting. I'm sorry Virginia was accepting. Late ballots with no postmarks last year, which was totally contrary to stay law. We had to take them to court and Larry this attorney general in Virginia, Mark Herring is not interested in enforcing the laws on the books on elections. They just make it up as they go along. Whatever seems to help Democrats. He announces the new law, and that's the problem of Virginia. You have a lawless element in the attorney general's office there that doesn't care about the law. That's why this election is so important. I think you would agree. Christian Adam's coming up and we have Ah, fantastic. Candidates survive for mark hearings position So we we hope that that moves forward as well. Let's turn now to HR one, because you can do all of this great work your organization conduce all this great work other organization like yours, The state legislators can step up and actually tighten as we saw in Georgia. And as we're seeing in other states, but HR one will negate all of that work, won't it? Yeah, it Z the total federal takeover our elections. It's the undoing of the union. It's the nullification of the original bargain that led to the United States where states get the Mantis for their own political affairs without the oversight of Washington bureaucrats and unfortunately HR one has passed the house. It had a rules mark up in the Senate. This week. It became ridiculous with the yelling going on. I was so important. Mitch McConnell actually came to the Came to the Rules Committee, which doesn't happen often far as minority leader showing up but mark ups, but it just illustrate medical. This is for the structure of the republic to remain intact. Not have Washington D. C bureaucrats, literally the bureaucrats I used to work with the Justice Department. Managing micromanaging state elections and, by the way was being a J. Christian Adams Public Interest Legal Foundation who has a great investigation going on right now in Pennsylvania, revealing and uncovering literal dead people who voted actually voted after they had died. He's got the physical evidence of the gravestones for crying out loud and this story is unfolding right now. We start. Nancy Pelosi asked a question on one of the Sunday shows. I think it was this weekend ask, you know, Listen, you only have a six seat majority in the house. It's 50 50 and the Senate. You've got a tough midterm coming up. You know what? What are Democrats going to do to try to keep their majority? Her answer included an admission, she said. If we can get HR one and s one through that will help our cause. I mean, she said it out loud. Christian, This is this is about winning elections. Well. That explains why Jim Clyburn majority within the house from South Carolina, was following leader's instructions speaker instructions because he said, the same thing that the Democrats if they want to win the next election need to pass HR one. They made it explicitly partisan By the way, when a state legislator did this in Pennsylvania about voter ID, like The Huffington Post ran like 66 weeks, coverage of it. You know, NBC news all of the mainstream media who who are shells and deniers of voter fraud. They were so incensed with one dinky Pennsylvania legislators saying when Nancy Pelosi said they had days of coverage, but But do you see this now? Do you see any criticism? Of course not because the Washington Post and the New York Times are part of the team. They want the Democrats to win so they don't criticize it. Ah, lot of people have already good. Ralph announced. Aspirin wants to know and I'll go ahead and ask for you. Ralph s. So thank you for the call. Because this is one of the first questions. I ask Christian yesterday when I saw the story Do we know if these dead people are voting Republican or Democrat as the old Joe? Give you babe, You're dead. You're voting Democrat. But it's rooted in some truth. Certainly is there a way to trace back? How these people voted. No, and you know, it really shouldn't matter that that's not the issue. The issue is the crimes are being committed. People are registering after death. Who was doing this who are committing these crimes? I don't care if they're registering his Democrats or Republicans, its attack on the system, and if it's a tiny hack, it could be a bigger hack next time and we need to figure out why it's happening. And most importantly, why state officials don't seem to care. The state officials and Harrisburg have an attitude that were that were the problem. Not not. They're screwed up list maintenance in an election administration. I'm good. I already know people will see this. And they'll say, Oh, we'll be okay. Sure. Maybe one or two here and there. But that doesn't prove any sort of widespread voter fraud. Christian? Yeah, Fun. Larry, When did you start working for the Washington Post? I just know them so well, you have You have their temple it down so well. I mean, this is this is what the vote fraud deniers of the Washington Post. Do they keep moving The goal post, right? It's always moving. The only time they care when there's voter fraud. Only one instances when Republican does it, And then then then when I'm a credit, you know that's why we can't worry about who did it. We have to care about the integrity of the system. And notice how they always move the goal posts. There's always widespread and then they say, change the results of the election. We know Virginia's House of representative was decided by a coin flip a coin flip to a couple of years ago because of a tied election in a tied house. Yeah, that that that's evidence right there that we need the most secure system that we could have, most importantly, not just to ensure the outcome but to ensure confidence in the rest of us. With the outcome. It is not about making sure the right person wins. It's about making sure we all feel secure that the right person one Right..

It's so great to be with be with you. Thanks for having me. Well, it seems to me that you now have a big task ahead of you to unseat our current attorney General. And Ah, And I wish you luck in that because I think it's time to make a change there and you have to communicate two things. Number one who you are and why you're a great choice and number two. Why Mark Herring is a bad choice to continue, so Go ahead. Take whatever you'd like to start with. Well, listen as far as who I am. I think it's important people know I'm currently serving the General assembly from Virginia Beach on this kind of T swing suburban areas. We have to wait if we're gonna win statewide. I'm a former prosecutor. I've literally been in the room and violent criminals and goes that we should do is harm And I think it's important is my friend Bob McDonald notes. You're running to be Virginia's top cop. And the fact is I'm the only candidate right now in the race was on either side of the Democratic side. Neither one of them never actually prosecuted a criminal. They never worked in law enforcement that violent criminals away. I also think it's important people understand who I am and like this 80 for you don't know where I want to go. You have to know where it came from. And you know, my story doesn't begin in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Next begins in Havana, Cuba, wanted scared 19 4 girls, the airplane penniless and homeless and knowing where the next meal's gonna come from. That was my mother. Mere me are so When you grow up with somebody that literally has lost everything in the name of communism, socialism, but also something that has come here. You have such a deep appreciation for this country. And so my mom left Cuba and the fall of night 60 of nothing. And almost 50 years to the day that she left, he's able to walk into a voting booth and vote for her son Me to represent her in the old list Democracy in the Western Hemisphere, the Virginia House of delegates in the fall of 2000 and 15 years, so that is what I call the American miracle, I think is unique, precious thing. It's something that I think we should always fight foreign preserve, and that That's the one thing I also want to do is I also want your your family's safety is my mission is a candidate for attorney general. But it's also the both talk about celebrating American miracle because if you turn on the media today, nobody talks about it. Yeah. If you turn on the media today, you get this sense that this is the There's a horrible country. It's not. We're fundamentally good and decent and noble nation and you would never know it. If you follow some of the talking heads on MSNBC. Yeah, I'll say and, Well, I'd love for you to expand on that, you know, being raised by by Ah, a person who fled the authoritarian communist regime of Fidel Castro. That you learned lessons that all of our kids should learn in school right now. And if you become the attorney general of the Commonwealth of Virginia, How will those lessons then be applied in how you how you exercise your office because there is a slow and steady march in Richmond right now towards socialism toward what I believe will ultimately be Uh, taking away our rights and our freedoms in the same way we saw in Cuba. Listen. I was out campaigning this week and range a supporter of mine from Venezuela. And she said, there's nothing more painful, she said. I'm voting for you because I know that you understand there's nothing more painful than to lose your country. And it's one of the most painful things. I don't care if they're from Kubla or Venezuela, or pick your country that has been taken over. You know, one of my favorite writers CS Lewis and he said, the worst. Tierney's in the world of material done for quote your own good, and that's what exactly what socialism is right there. Basically using these catchphrase like fairness and equity and Redistribution of wealth, and they're pushing these things to do You actually think I'm actually end up doing more harm than good and some money? You know my friends on the other side of the aisle, they sometimes erroneously think good intentions means good results. They don't On day, So Yeah, When you see some of the stuff that is happening right now, you know, I like to say you can't you can't survive as a nation. If you're raising an entire generation of kids have learned behavior country. You can't survive in the nation. If you have my opinion right now, Victim First criminal last sorry, Criminal first victim last month, said in Richmond, where the parole board is breaking the law and one of the lead out murders and rape is back on the streets in Virginia. I don't think before for me, so I have a unique perspective as somebody has such a deep appreciation for what this country is, but also as a prosecutor, as somebody's been in the room of the victim of violent crime. They always want to things right. They want justice. They also don't want to be for gotten, And right now you have a bunch of politicians in Richmond. Mark Herring included.
