gubernatorial candidate, Glenn

Good Morning Lawrence Good
Morning, gentlemen,
good morning, Ainsley. Thank
you. So much
got Glenn Youngkin with me.
I want to pick up where Ainsley
left off.
You have the former governor,
your opponent that walked off
the interview. Yesterday,
the interview was about public
safety and education.
Why is it going this direction
for him right now?
Well, he doesnt have
anything to say about it.
He failed when he was governor.
This is what Virginians want to
talk about.
They are worried about their
schools and what did he do? He
brought standards down and left
us with a failing school system.
Oh by the way, twenty year murder
rate when he was governor, the
murder rate went up twenty four percent.
Not only did he not do a good
job as governor, he has nothing
to say about it. Now
when I travel around the
Commonwealth of Virginia, I get
the same questions to me
when I listen to voters. They
want the costs to come down
Lawrence. What about walking out
of an interview?
They say they respect the free
press. This is a local reporter
asking about education and
public safety and walking out.
This is what Terry
Mcauliffe does. I guess
Lawrence is he entitled,
I think he might feel
entitled because he thinks he
was governor, but he didnt do a
good job. People shouldnt ask
him hard questions
these arent those hard of
questions.
How are you going to fix our
schools and what are you going
to do to make our communities
safe?
These are questions I get every
day.
I know im going to fix the
schools.
We had nearly one thousand people we
were talking about it. I know
what we are going to do to make
our community safe.
This is Terry. Mcauliffe wont
answer questions
yells at sheriffs
barks at people all the time
he is losing it because he knows
this race is slipping away from
him
Lawrence. We are seeing that in
the polls
dive into the big issues.
Number one is education.
I talk to some parents
yesterday, every single one of
them mentioned education.
Why do you think this is such a
big issue in Virginia in the
country?
Well, first of all, Loudoun
County has been ground: zero,
its been ground zero for a long
time about whats happening in
education,
its the culmination of whats
been going on. Since Terry
Mcauliffe was governor.
He lowered the standards in our
school.
He wants to keep parents out of
the loop.
He said, parents dont have a
role in their kids education.
He wants government between
parents and kids,
all ever the Suddennedden
parents. Last night came and
heard from me a very clear
vision
lawrence. He said you took him
out of context.
He said that to the nation, PA
dont, a role in their kids
education and he doubled and
triple and quadrupled down on
it.
He sees parents are rejecting
this parents. Are we geneticking
the notion he is going to call
his friend Jobe and have the FBI
come and silence them?
These are our kids
Virginia has a fundamental right
inscribed in our code that
parents have a right to be
deeply engaged in their kids.
Education.
Terry Mcauliffe is on the
wrong side of this issue.
He knows it. He wants government
to control our children and
parents arent having any part
of it
Lawrence. Yesterday, during your
campaign rally, you said you
want a full investigation.
Why
whats happened in Loudoun
County first of all could
happen across Virginia.
What happened in Loudoun County
was that the school board and oh
by the way the commonwealths
attorney, tried to cover up a
sexual assault in a school, and
then they quietly moved the
offender to another school and
it happened again.
He sexually assaulted another
young woman,
so theres absolutely gross
negligence here
and rather than the Justice
Department investigating parents
who are standing up for their
children. The justice department
should be investigating the
Loudoun County School Board and
the commonwealths attorney
and oh by the way our attorney
general currently has a job to
do, which is to stand up for
families and parents. In this
exact moment and whats, he
doing
running around Virginia running
a divisive campaign and not
doing his job.
He should do his job and do a
full investigation because
whats going to happen next,
we are going to wake up and have
another headline.
This is not right and our kids
cant wait
Lawrence Lawrence. Well, we are
going to be following this
election.
It was clear based on
yesterdays rally. It was full
inside
you had to move the rally
outside and talk to those folks
as well.
Glenn Youngkin thanks for taking
the tough questions.
Thanks for having me,
everybody join us Youngkin for
governor dot com and get on board.
This is no longer a campaign.
Its a movement.
