. >> now two democrat wins in virginia. and we're waiting on virginia 2. elaine luria in look like kiggans in a real good spot to win this. 80% of vote in. up 10. >> all likelihood, we started the night with three big races in virginia. it let's look at the moment democrats have a chance of ranging on two of three -- hanging on to two of the three. >> we thought virginia might be a state where republican pickups would signal a wave. they may win the luria race. kiggans may win she is ahead, the other two t the other way, that tell us us something or doesn't tell us something. >> how we read it. >> to washington, guy benson and marie. guy, reacting to this virginia news. you were following this, all 3 of those races. what this means, and it does look like g.o.p. heading to house majority. but we don't know how big. >> virginia 2 is a majority maker type district for republicans, 7 in 10 would have been wave makers and tsunami makers, but the democrats have held on to both those. so far the evening, is t taled florida and everything else, epic night in flori

virginia 10 he conceded. >> yes. >> now we have 2 democrats wins in virginia and we are waiting on virginia 2. >> it looks like higgins is a good spot to win this. up 10 points. when we started the night we had 3 big races there in virginia. it looks like the democrats will hang on 2 of the 3. that won't make kevin mccarthy happy. >> we thought that virginia might be a state where republican pick ups would signal a wave. kiggans may win but the other 2 went the other way. >> down to washington. reacting to this virginia news. you were following this closely. all 3 of those races. it looks like the gop is headed to a house majority but we don't know how big. >> virginia 2 is a majority mark district for republicans. it looks like the democrats held on to both districts. so far. big picture for me is a tale of florida and everything else. epic night for the republicans in florida. shocking margins. 20 points almost for ron desantis. a lot of heavy lifting in terms of house gains in florida for the republicans. everybody else looking like a dog fight. if there is a national wave building for t

if they win virginia 10. then you will count how high is that wave. let's dive in virginia 2, take you in one more time, jen kigens is an interesting candidate. jen, checks out of the boxes, very good candidate up against elaine luria. now results in just yet in virginia two in virginia 7 much abigail spanberger going in. we're starting to see numbers come in. this is a race that has to be characterized on how the census has changed the lives throughout the country. really interesting to watch, sometimes there are subtle changes but they make a big difference, spanberger ran in 2018 on west side of richmond, she had close races then but republicans in virginia moved her district north. closer to washington, d.c. she is still on in a democratic district but republicans think that the weather is right in virginia to make a change. up here in virginia-10 interesting race here. this is hung cao, a republican from u.s. navy, he was born in saigon. his family fled in april of 1975. he wants to shake down jennifer w

and when virginia was different, he was obliged to follow virginia into the confederacy. one was he? hello robert e lee was born onto northern neck of virginia in 1807, he had grown up in alexandria, which was then part of the district of columbia. alexandria and northern virginia would only be retro seated in virginia in the 1830s long after left. most of his life thereafter they lived in other places. in georgia, st. louis, baltimore and new york city as an engineer. his father had been politically a federalist. though married into one of the foremost families of virginia, the cost of arlington, arlington overlooked facing the national capitol, not virginia. his in-laws allies the nation first of state loyalty "afterwards". we could not more in 18612 factors. first, harry lee for all of his revolutionary fame had been our clock husband and father and left family when robert was only six years old. the shadow harry cast over the lee name was one of robert struggles to redeem the broad street of perfectionism in his behavior. robert also yearned to briefly of his father's

and we are getting more reaction for from virginia officials. the mayor of mid chesapeake request had this message. on behalf of the city want to offer my sincere condolences to the victims of today's horrific event as well as their families. u.s. senator mark warner of virginia tweeted and, sickened by reports of yet another mass shooting. i urge all those in the community to listen to guidance from local law enforcement and stay away from the scene. we are also following breaking news out of -- i another bus stop happened in an area in the north part of the city and in that situation three people were injured. police say that they are continuing to search for suspects and there are great fears that there may be further explosions, because bombings like these have not happen in jerusalem or israel proper for many years now. these types of explosions are bringing back many memories for many people to the second and to fattah when suicide bombings, these package explosions were happening especially on buses and bus stations and restaurants and th

we ran statewide in an amazing case at that time in virginia, getting elected as a democrat in virginia was like being harry hudini and trying to work your way out of an impossible escape situation. it was very, very difficult. mark really set tremendous history by winning the first big statewide race in a number of years as a democrat, and i had to win my own race. i wasn't on the ticket with mark, but his strong performance helped me win the lieutenant governor's race. donald mceachin did not win his race. he was not elected to attorney general. no shame in that. we all know this, we're in a line of work where wins are common and losses are common. mark doesn't like to be reminded that he lost a race for the u.s. senate in 1996 although i often heard him say with maaing ni anymorety that -- say maaing unanimously that the right warner won. the wonderful -- he went back to practicing law, representing people often who had no one else to represent them and a few years later successfully ran and became a member of the virginia senate and started chapter two in his political life. he was

it's in virginia. i think and hope that gun violence prevention is on the ballot because before we had this governor, we have a governor that ran and won on gun violence prevention but we accomplished what everyone in virginia said was impossible. we passed six laws to really change the demographic, change the nature of gun violence prevention in the state of virginia. young ken ran and won not on this platform per se, but he is beholden to the gun industry. so it he and the legislature in virginia want to do is actually rollback all of that. and to your point, it is a very, very dangerous and scary place to be if you don't feel that you are shopping, you are going to church, you are dropping your kids at school, and there are basic safety measures in place that can protect you. it's not just why we need change in virginia. it is why we need this senate in the lame-duck session, joy, to pass the assault weapons ban that passed the house, and the background check expansion that are both pending in the s

of virginia at this walmart. we don't know much about the shooter, the background. we're told this is either a current or former employee. but that if past is prologue, that is something we will be keying in on. were there warning signs? how did this person a get a weapon? and was there someone this shooter's orbit who knew something but did not call police to say hey we have a problem here. and tonight we're reporting on people who are dead just a couple of days before the thanksgiving holiday. obviously a tragedy here in the united states, one that we've seen many, many times play out over and over again. >> josh, politicians and american citizens who oppose having any gun controls in place, many of them say this is more about mental illness than the ownership of guns. but in this country, nothings that been done about mental illness either. so the problem is these are two problems this country is dealing with. so what will it do? what does it need to do to put some sort of end to this gun violence that revisit

in addition to a campaign through virginia, you can see this old map of the interior, virginia. label this railroads to richmond. you've we've we've discussed this topic already review it in a minute. before i discuss that grant does have a couple of peripheral campaigns planned in virginia. it's not just the grants going to take the army of the potomac and he's not going to be the army of the potomac commander. he's gonna we'll get to that in a minute. but he is going to be supervising the army the potomac directly, but from a distance he's going to be supervising a couple of other other small armies and peripheral campaigns. that he hopes will pay off for him. one of those is going to be in the shenandoah valley now. we've seen the shenandoah valley before we saw jackson was out there and made a real headache. for the union in the spring of 62. well grant's going to send an army into the shenandoah valley. small army, which he hopes will keep the confederates from using the shannon to a valley to distract from his main campaign. and hopefully will distract some confederate tro

2 virginia 7 and lost in 10. he was talking about this earlier today with bill and dana, right? >> dana: some of those districts have changed a bit because of redistricting not a ton but enough to maybe give someone a chance. the race i'm looking forward to seeing at 7:00 p.m. that closes is in indiana. and there is an incumbent, frank who is against a republican challenger named jennifer ruth green. and i find her energetic. exciting. she had a terrible thing happen to her when politico released a report about something, an assault that happened to her when she was in the air force. she did not want that released. she handled that with such dig dignity and grace and a ton of energy. all she wants to talk about is gas groceries and grandkids. that one closes at 7:00 p.m., too. >> bret: trey, your buddy tim scott won a pretty easy reelections. >> john what took so long to call that race. [laughter] i can tell you this. tim scott for two minutes was as nervous as lindsey graham in a spelling bee i promise you for t

the virginia company made every mistake it could have made. jamestown was cited badly surrounded by mosquito breeding swamps and where the water was often brackish, led to salt poisoning near the hot humid virginia summers but the virginia's biggest mistake was to keep title to the land, the means of production. to work it as peasants for the company's profit. any goal they found was theirs to keep or sell, the settlers the company recruited all men in the first year or so were mostly sturdy beggars, a healthy man who had no employment, the burgeoning sons of london and gentry families. the latter was disinclined to do hard work. pursuing self-interest as people always do they preferred to search for gold from which they could profit directly but there is no goals to be found in the plains of tidewater, virginia. they found plenty reform that looked like gold, they shifted to england where it was found to be worthless. the result was starvation. the 104 settlers, only 38, nine months later. the colony has 229 settlers. by 1610, only 60 were st

look at what happened in virginia beach. violence all over. -- help with the county regarding relief. we need to do that right. now we need have boots on the ground. we need have people dealing with the trauma. i am just horrified. and i am just infuriated that we have not done more to try and bring about more gun control measures here in the commonwealth of virginia. as i have said before, many of us have been working on common sense gun control measures for decades, only to get pushed back year after year after year. i am hoping that this -- of mass killing will make people come to the realization that it's left up to us to try to do something to bring gun control measures into our legislative body. >> senator louise lucas, we certainly appreciate your time. let's hope that there is the political will to bring about gun reform in the united states. we'll take a short break. more on our breaking news in just a moment. stay with cnn. proven over 90% effective, shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shinglgles in adults 50 yea

they were devon chandler, a second year from virginia beach, virginia, lavelle davis, and deshaun perry, a fourth year student from miami, florida. all three were members of the football team. two other students were wounded and are being treated for injuries at the uva medical center. one is in good condition, one is in critical condition. in order to protect their privacy, we are not releasing their names at this moment. the families of all the victims have been notified and the university is providing any and every available assistance. i have spoken with four of the families and i spoke directly to the student who is in good condition. law enforcement, including university police, local law enforcement agencies and virginia state police continue their search for the suspect and will not stop until he is found. they have, however, lifted the shelter-in-place order following an exhaustive building-by-building search of grounds and are confident that the suspect has left the area. classes and all extracurricular activities have been canceled for today. although we do not yet have a ful

this led to salt poisoning during the hot humid virginia summers that virginia company's biggest mistake was to keep title to the land the means of production. the settlers were in effect to work it as presidents for the companies profit but -- the settlers at the company had recruited all men in the years or so mostly were what were then called sturdy beggars. i. e. men who had no employment and who had graduated to the burgeoning slums of london and bristol along with the younger sons of gentry families. the first group knew little about farming in the latter was not inclined to do hard work. pursuing their self interest of people do they prefer to search for gold for which they could profit directly of course there was no goal to be found in the plains of tidewater virginia although they'd found a form of micha which did look a bit like gold. they ship to to england where was found to be worthless the result was starvation of the 104 settlers who had arrived in may, 1867 only 38 were still alive nine months later and december of 1969 the company had 220 settlers by spring 1610 only 60

fit this motives part of virginia and when virginia left, west virginia didn't exist so there was an ordinance of succession some people can go back there. loyal west virginians don't like this. there are about 18000 people who fought for the confederacy and this is going to be really problematic. >> these men left a secceeding state and are going to return to a loyalist state. >> right. what happens if they are paroled and perhaps pardoned, granted their citizenship back and now there are voting blocks? what will play out then? >> relaying in charleston and all these places. >> why do we want these disloyal men back in our midst? it's one thing to send confederates home to states that succeeded where the vast majority of the population supported the confederacy, it's another to send them home to places where they are not wanted in that becomes very clear in the summer of 65. >> i will tell you this, professor danny, this happens all the time and we should be getting used to it in the house divided. somewhere around the point of ten minutes left in the interview everybody watching ge

i was working as reported in richmond, virginia britain from virginia and i just move back after being gone after college i was report around the country. i just need back after having two kids and going to grad school in boston. i wanted to be closer to my family knows work on my first book which is about my hometown, something must be done. i thought it should take reporting job at that time so i could get to know richmond better. i'm probably because my kids were so young it wasbe easier to be at work is reported that home with two toddlers. [laughter]to one day the richmond reporterr was out covering something else in my editor asked me too cover a story of this african burial ground that activists were asking to be preserved. they were claiming this part of the state's plot was a burialki ground and he was actually covered in a parking lot that is state university the commonwealth university was using as a parking lot. this way o really did not know anything about that burial ground or the area where it was located which was slave trading district in richmond. i knew it richmond w

virginia. what they did not know at the time, but what was believed is that it was just a confederate cavalry raid, something that had happened just a few days prior at catlett's station as well this was not new to john pope's army of virginia, long as the only railroad would be his supply line, as as we know and as john pope would soon learn, instead, this was the vanguard at bristow station of about 24,000 confederate soldiers under the command of thomas jonathan jackson, stonewall. jackson's objective, as he had been told or has been, had been decided by robert lee on august 24th, jackson's men began marching on. the 25th was to cut pope supply and communication line along the orange and alexandria railroad and force john pope away from the rappahannock. the other thing that jackson had to do or had to think at least, was not just cutting the own railroad, but providing supplies for his men, wrecking a lot of the federal supplies that were just five miles up the line from station at manassas

one hot spot is in virginia. governor youngkin apparently thinks learning black and indigenous history is too complicated. we're going to dig in what's behind this curriculum controversy next. ntroversy next we talked with my mom and was like, “hey do you think that we should do something like that for dad?” and she was like “you know what i think that would actually be really cool.” i figured this is a great holiday present since i won't be with him for christmas. it was the best gift that i ever received, in my entire life. because it opened up my life. unwrap your family story with our lowest price of the year at ancestry.com (woman) oh. oh! hi there. you're jonathan, right? the 995 plan! unwrap your family story yes, from colonial penn. your 995 plan fits my budget just right. excuse me? aren't you jonathan from tv, that 995 plan? yes, from colonial penn. i love your lifetime rate lock. that's what sold me. she thinks you're jonathan, with the 995 plan. -are you? -yes, from colonial penn. we were conc

planter that the virginia planter could be and take on this role of demonstrating new kinds of farming that would diversify farming it would open up new kinds of commercial opportunities. what's even more surprising is that that this commitment to english has been british husbandry increases over time and is becomes stronger and stronger after the revolutionary war after independence from from the empire washington is still deeply committed to these british models and and 1785. he announces that he wants to undertake a complete a course of husbandry as practice in the best farming counties in england, and this is not just cultivation methods or new crops. this is a very elaborate complicated system of crop rotations immigrated with livestock management and especially restoration of the soil stewardship of the soil. and it leads him to to redesign the entire agricultural landscape over thousands of acres have mount vernon and also leads him to demand that the enslaved construct a whole new infrastructure of farming including what washington thought was the largest barns in the united st

the latest on our breaking news out of chesapeake, virginia. police say it is believed the shooter opened fire at a walmart is dead. the authorities say when they went inside the store they found multiple people have been killed or injured. we don't know the exact number of fatalities but moments ago, police said it's likely less than ten. we'll bring you the latest information as it becomes available. we now want to go to chesapeake virginia police spokesperson leo kaczynski he was going to join us he will have a little later in the show. let's move on to the suspect at the weekend mass shooting at a colorado lgbtq nightclub. he is now out of hospital and in jail. anderson lee aldrich is due for an initial court appearance in the coming hours and will face multiple murder charges. the district attorney says hate crime charges are also being considered. cnn's rosa flores is in colorado springs. >> new information is servicing about the troubling past of the suspect to govern gunman, 22-year-old anderson lee aldridge. >> our investigators are wr

does not quite fit this mold it was part of virginia when virginia left, west virginia did not exist there is not a succession so people can go back there. loyal west virginians do not like the sound of this. they're about 18000 confederates are people from west virginia who fought for the confederacy. this is going to be really problematical. >> these men left and they are going return to a loyal state. >> guest: rights. what happens if they are paroled and perhaps pardon, granted their citizenship back and now they are a voting block? what is going to play out then? >> it why do we want these disloyal men back in our midst? it is one thing to send confederate some two states that succeeded with the vast majority of the population supported the confederacy. it's another to send them home to places they are not wanted and that becomes very clear in the summer of 65. >> host: i will tell you this, professor this happens all the time we should be getting used to it in a house divided. somewhere around the point of ten minutes left in the interview, everybody watching suddenly gets off

i was working as a reporter in richmond virginia i'm from virginia and just moved back after being gone after mcollege. after having two kids and going tost grad school in boston and wanted to be closer to my family which was about my hometown but i thought i should take a reporting job at that time so i can get to know richmond better but my kids were so young it was easier to be at work as a reporter then at home with two toddlers. [laughter] so one day the richmond reporter was covering something else i was asked to cover the story of an african burial ground that activists were asking to be preserved. they were claiming this part of the city was a burial ground actually covered in a parking lot i really didn't know anything about that burial ground or the area where it was located which is a slaveve trading district. i knew richmond was a slave trading town so i was doing some background reading and a came across an article on the smithsonian magazine of the archaeological dig that has been done and has located the remains and the foundation also known as the devils half-acre run by

there is no competition virginia being a big exception. others statewide races but most of us don't have any choice. >> it seems to me you could make the argument that we started doing things to the respective parties. they are weaker than they have historically ever been. it's been taken over by outside groups and changes in the median environment. the parties are the driver of the increased polarization. they are under the constitution protected by freedom and association to form a political party. democrats and republicans through the state legislatures settled in most cases state-run and state-funded primaries. all you have to do is look at california, washington and nebraska. the largest state in the country has a nonpartisan primary the political parties do just fine. they are private organizations. in california, washington, alaska, nebraska there is a primary but it's not a party primary. it's the first round. anybody wants to run for office appears on the primary ballot. they have no problem doing that at all. they don't need to t

so i know that it was not just virginia miller that kept remembering him, although virginia miller, but we know about your interactions with colonel burt or because she did keep a civil war diary. and the directors that she wrote about the battle of balls bluff were not written when the battle happened. but instead is kind of a retrospective a year later. the dire injuries that we do have from her cover late 1861 into 1862, and she makes sure to make a point of saying, this is what i remember about the battle of ball's bluff and what i remember about colonel burt. but they were hidden. her diary henry's were only found in 1980. and where were they found? in the attic. of harrison hall. but wait, there is more. residents of leesburg will tell you that harrison hall has a number of ghosts. and some suggest that they are our daytime ghosts, and there are nighttime ghosts. and i am not sure exactly what the difference is, but i have heard through the grapevine that's there is a certain presence that is believed to be colonel burt. and that he is a daytime go east. he is a nice guy. one of t

i know it's not just virginia miller who kept remembering her but virginia miller what we know about her actions as she did keep a civil war diary. the diary entries she wrote about the battle were not written when the battle happened. instead were written as a retrospective a year later. but we do have from her cover late 1861 -- 1862. this is false bluff about colonel bert. hurt diary entries were only found in 1980 and where were they found? in the attic. their phone in the attic of harrison hall. but wait there is more. residents are leesburg will tell us harrison hall has a number of ghost. there are daytime ghosts and their nighttime ghosts. i'm not sure what the difference is. i have heard through the grapevine there is a certain presence that is believed to be colonel bert and he is eight daytime ghosts he is a nice guy. one of the encounter in certain individuals believe is a nod or hint at colonel bert is that the bed there will be a distinct shape of the body lying on the bed that was not there before. it is very spooky. harrison hall and the greater civil war history is o

in 1840 virginia ships half of all interstate trade from virginia so have a whole people going to the lower south came from virginia yet you have this amazing archaeological find. there are very few slave trading sites left in america . if you go looking for slavery museums, something that tells the story of enslavement through people's eyes there are none that really, there are a few that still exist and this is one of them and to think that richmond really hasn't made much progress in trying to tell the story is very similar to what you said. they preserved some of the land around lumpkin's jail, that was part of a larger leave trade there and there are lots of other sleeve tales there it's still covered up s. i going to even be alive when this story finally gets told? at the least there needs to be a memorial that tells outhe story and i'd love to see a museum so richmond which is known for celebrating confederate generals with all its monuments could be known for being a truth telling city, according to city that told the truth in all of its tragedy but this rich history of so man
