virginia was rushed to the hospital. for 48 hours, virginia hovered between life and death, but she survived. toxicology tests showed virginia had a blood alcohol level of 0.16, almost twice the legal limit. >> they had charged her with the felony dui. >> virginia was convicted and sentenced to six years in prison for vehicular homicide. >> it was hard enough that she had lost somebody in her life, and then to be doing time for it and be taken away from her family again, i mean, it was a very difficult time for virginia. >> when virginia was released from prison, she told her family she found work cleaning houses. one evening, while spending time with her family, virginia got a message on her pager at 8:54 p.m. >> yeah, i can do that. >> we asked her where she was going, and she tells us that she has to go clean a house for an individual. we said our good-byes and hugged her and told her we loved her, and she told us that as well and it was the last time. >> early the next morning, a man walking his dog found a woman's b

during virginia's trial, the jury was taken to seal beach.hree days court was held high above the beautiful pacific ocean an a wind-swept cliff where donna hartman had fallen to her death. the trial lasted for three days. the longest time a court had been in session at a suspected crime scene in american history. jurors were asked to examine the cliff to determine for themselves whether virginia's story of an accidental fall made sense. after a four-day deliberation, jurors said it didn't, and virginia was found guilty of first-degree murder. she was sentenced to life in prison. >> what it really got down to was putting the facts together in a scientific communicated fashion to a jury, and they were able to make the decision based upon the totality of the facts. >> without forensic science, virginia mcginnis today would still be looking for victims. she probably would still be killing. she would be burning houses and she would be collecting insurance with your premiums. >>> a late-night street fight left one man dead. and contradictory accoun

the army of northern virginia won all the big ones in virginia.if they left virginia, they might encounter a little difficulty, but in their home ballpark, they acquitted themselves exceedingly well against numerically superior union forces. how do you change that? pattern, inreak the the tennis parlance, of holding serve? in fact, that army was the primary target of an army with serious problems of its own. the army of the potomac, which today could be a fine reality show, at least in terms of its officer corps, its dysfunctionality -- i do not know who kim kardashian would play in this army, but someone would. one. governor -- warren. it was a dysfunctional and defeatist officer corps at many points in the war in its command element. its soldiers may not have felt the same way. but if the army of the potomac had ever fought the confederates as well as they fought each other, we would not be having a 1964 conference today. 1864 conference today. it seems that in virginia the army of the potomac always found a way to use -- to lose. up until 1864,

there are parts of virginia that are still very southern, like southwest virginia, like south side virginia virginia, the richmond area, hampton roads and virginia beach area, these are more culturally middle atlantic. they're more like the rest of the country. >> let me ask you this. if we were to move the mason dixon line, where do you put putt it now? put it south of richmond? >> well, it would be south of richmond. there would be skwigley lines all over virginia. they're still southern in character and nature. it's the urban areas that dominate. really the two-thirds to three-quarters of virginia could be classified as urban, suburban, ex-urban. they're the counties, they're the cities that run virginia. >> all right. i wanted to go more into this, but the resignation over the weekend or announced resignation seems very transactional in nature. there's a lot of fall-out here. this is a democratic state senator who is resigning. apparently some republicans have a good new job for him lined up. explain that. is this a good transactional move here? what's going on? >> well, chuck, it sure

virginia is one of those states. and largely, it's because we're the states that are most largely impacted by it. so you see a more visceral reaction, more extreme reaction to what these policies ought to be. certainly, his loss tonight does not forebode what happened to immigration reform. i will counter and say that immigration reform these for this term was dead whether or not he came back to the house or not. >> that's right. >> but the truth of the matter is, eric cantor set up, invested in the very same litmus test that slew him tonight. that he was unable, he himself to live by. so whether it was immigration reform or trying to have a broader conversation about poverty in terms of going and visiting with the cbc, these are things that are simply not done if you're a true tea party patriot. so the very same litmus test that he set up for all other members of his house, caucus, he was unable to live by. and his opponent took that to town. i could have gotten 44% in his district tonight. >> raul, i want to ask yo

it's a great day for virginia. more eric cantor is no than a rhin orf and he's been that forever -- rhino, and he's been that forever. virginians are finally standing up. and the quicker we get rid of mark warner and the rest of that bunch, the better off the great commonwealth of virginia will be. they're turning into communists. to america, god bless you, an eric cantor -- now he'll become a bigger lobbyist and have a great life i'm sure and make millions. good night, america, we love you. >> i wanted to read a little bit of a statement posted by dave brat. this was posted in february of this year. it said, "why i want to replace eric cantor. i am blessed to have the opportunity to teach young people every day and i often think of the world that they and my own children will inherit. unfortunately, many have relied on republican leadership that has failed time and time again to bring our nation back from the road to decline. john, you're next from missouri. go ahead. caller: yeah. i'm kind of glad that he got efe

virginia and so it became synonymous with robert e. lee and his soldiers. >> how large and would campaign's? >> the army of northern virginia thought the eastern theater so we do not know precisely how many people served because the units come and go but i would estimate at any given time during the course of the war they were members of the army. at the peak it was about 90,000 men in june of 1862 and of course the jungle down to nothing and thought many of the battles that were the largest in the world. the seven-day battles and a handful of flights taking place over the course of seven days that had a total of 36 casualties on both sides and the wilderness is huge and chancellorsville and second manassas is huge. they are enormous battles and antietam which is the single bloodiest days. >> what other armies were there on the confederate side? >> of the other principal arm in tennessee there was also the arm and mississippi and those are the principal armies for the confederacy. >> what do we know about the army of northern virginia?

polls closed in virginia at 7:00 p.m. eastern tonight. it was basically just over an hour later when we got the absolutely shocking news. eric cantor, how majority leader. seven-term incumbent lost his seat, the republican nomination to tea party challenger again, who hit him over and over again on the idea of immigration. the polls closed at 7:00. the announcement an hour later. theoretically, he could run as a write-in, but in his concession speech, he gave no indication he would try that. this seems like the end of the road for him. eric cantor's fate as a member of congress as a consequential story because he's the leader of the republicans in the house of representatives, and they're in charge of the house of representatives, but there's this question of how we extrapolate from the story. it's an important story in its own right, but watching this unfold in the last few weeks, watching how cantor was trying to publicly campaign one way and secretly campaign in another, there's been questions whether this primary campaign in his home

more specifically, out of virginia.egitimate political earthquake tonight, as the house majority leader, eric cantor, republican congressman of virginia, has lost his seat in congress. he was running in a republican primary to try to hold on to his seat in his congressional district in virginia. one of the more conservative districts, one of the republican heavy districts in virginia. david brat had mounted a tea party challenge against eric cantor. it was of interest, certainly, eric cantor seemed to be campaigning harder to hold on to the seat than before, but there was no widespread expectation, i think it's fair to say, that his job was legitimately in jeopardy. the results, the race called tonight by the a.p. for david brat, for eric cantor's tea party challenger are treated as a legitimate earthquake in american politics. nobody quite knows what this means for the future of the house republican leadership. the ongoing struggle and relationship between the republican party proper and its sort of insurgent tea party

the big fight in virginia right now is about the fate of 400,000 people in virginia and whether they obamacare because of expanded medicaid. democratic governor of virginia, democrats in the state legislature, want to expand medicare to cover hundreds of thousands of people in the state. republicans don't want to do that. and that's the fight in virginia. that is why there isn't a budget. by handing republicans control of the state senate now, critics of senator puckett argue that he took what he needed for himself and his daughter but his decision cost the democrats any chance of securing health insurance for 400,000 people. in the state. how's that for a tradeoff? whatever you think of his decision in terms of what he was supposed to get out of it, is it a fair criticism in terms of the cost for the state and senator puckett's largely poor district? did that one decision do medicaid expansion for his state while his family got taken care of. peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business. so we provide it services you can rely on. with centurylink as your trus

joining me now, virginia state senator luis lucas and ezra klein, editor in chief of vox.com. welcome to you both. senator lucas, walk us through what happened today, what we learned about politics here in virginia, and how much of this is going to then affect medicaid expansion. >> sure. well, you know, we only found out about senator puckett's resignation late saturday afternoon, and then on sunday of course we were able to get that confirmed. and i can tell you i was just absolutely shocked and furious, to say the least, because he had no conversation with any of his colleagues in the senate democratic caucus. in fact, when we left the session everyone said we're going to hold tight, we're going to get medicaid expansion. we thought he was every bit as much in favor of it as the rest of us. but then all of a sudden this thing comes up about whether or not his daughter's going to get a judgeship because he's in the state senate. and i can look back and sometimes over the last 23 years i've been in the senate, and i'm sure i could pull up at least a couple of examples where a

most, primary campaigns are fairly new to virginia. traditionally, picked many of their nominees at state conventions. the second thing is this immigration issue. in many ways you are going to hear the word. everybody is going to try to make tea party, put everything together. tea party groups weren't spending money. they weren't targeting eric cantor, a good relationship with professional tea party crowd. there is a difference. immigration, much more animated, actual grassroots issue. let's look at the specific thing that dave brat was hitting eric cantor on to prove that cantor was for amnesty. cantor wanting to do the dream act. has to do with giving legalization, status, possibly, pathway to citizenship, for any children of undocumented workers here in the country. what's been the big news of 72 crisis on the border unaccompanied minors flooding the border, being sent back to central american countries. right now an issue. this has been lighting up talk radio. it gave urgency to dave brat's message at the perfect time that the camp

i found one letter in virginia and. i start the first job. it where it says a friend of mine has a fine lack boy for sale. he's not very big. he's about 12 years old but he stopped. you better hurry if you want him. i read that and i heard myself gasp in this quiet, cold archive because the way this child was being described, even though my work is on flavor enemies to be treated as property, it was stunning to me to see it in those harsh terms. i thought what am i going to do with this? at another voice known. what am i going to do with this? i told my students if you find that they become a look at it. turn it upside down, shape it, try to figure it out. i've used it to frame the chapter to say i don't know about this boy, but i want to know about other boys and other growths experience separationist children. so i framed frame double chapter around that letter where i have people who tell about their experience isn't slave narratives. we talked about the sources of white people created, but the sources that african-americans created aren't

it's both of our senators from virginia. it's our governor from virginia.t's our general assembly from virginia. there is broad bipartisan support in moving forward with offshore energy production. virginia has the potential to be a leader in oil and gas development on the east coast. i along with many in virginia was disappointed when the department of interior announced that virginia would not be included in the 2012 to 2017 outer continental shelf oil and gas leasing program. it was in the plan originally when the final plan came out, lease 220 was taken out. for no good apparent reason. we want the ability to be able to add it back because all the work has been done to have it there. we want to make sure the flexibility is there for the administration to do that. and the department's exclusion of virginia from consideration essentially prevents the creation of thousands of great paying jobs and around $19.5 billion in federal, state, and local revenue. this amendment is a step forward for responsible offshore energy development and assures that decision

and not on virginia enough. the real story he was hyperfocused on virginia. earlier this year, he started a pac called young guns, what he tried to do was to take out these local party chairmen. he lost. he got bludgeoned earlier this year. he lost four out of five of these races in these congressional districts. these party chairmen then coalesced and united and beat him and put every effort on the ground in virginia on a grassroots level. it's not about ignoring virginia. it's about having your priorities wrong and declaring a war in your state,s that's politics 101. he said plils is -- politics is local. >>> last night, i believe it was on hannity show, mr. brat said money doesn't vote, people vote. and in fact the numbers bear that out. $200,000 he had in his war chest. eric cantor, $5 million. >> he ran a smart campaign and won it at the grassroots level. people didn't feel ignored. i think this is an important lesson politically and i will tell you what, i bet those people making calls and those changes in their campaigns right now with elections coming

i live in northern virginia. when i go to richmond i hear things that come out of people's mouths that are astounding. it is a culturally divided commonwealth. we do have a reputation of having good government. that's been sullied in the last ten years by various things including the trial that you mentioned next month of the former governor. i think that we need to rework on these things. people don't expect it from us. and now we are starting to make news more frequently and it is not the kind of news we need. we need to get back to figuring out how we are going to pay for health care or provide health care for the poor citizens we have in our commonwealth. >> virginia house delegate mike sickles thanks again. >>> there are 24 states that have not accepted medicaid expansion. if you want to get a sense of the difference between life under the expansion and without it "new york times" did it in a story with the town of texarkana where the poor have access to health care and yet nothing has changed for those on t

most, primary campaigns are fairly new to virginia. traditionally, picked many of their nominees at state conventions. the second thing is this immigration issue. in many ways you are going to hear the word. everybody is going to try to make tea party, put everything together. tea party groups weren't spending money. they weren't targeting eric cantor, a good relationship with professional tea party crowd. there is a difference. immigration, much more animated, actual grassroots issue. let's look at the specific thing that dave brat was hitting eric cantor on to prove that cantor was for amnesty. cantor wanting to do the dream act. has to do with giving legalization, status, possibly, pathway to citizenship, for any children of undocumented workers here in the country. what's been the big news of 72 crisis on the border unaccompanied minors flooding the border, being sent back to central american countries. right now an issue. this has been lighting up talk radio. it gave urgency to dave brat's message at the perfect time that the camp

i thought it was somewhere in virginia. a may not remember in which a book i first saw the photograph but i know immediately and linked to the words cold harbor and death. in subsequent years, i read more about events of spring of 1864 that culminated. the deadly slaught. saw the u.s. suffer 50,000. the bloodiest six weeks of the war. i learned of the thousands who fail in the morning and i do know there were different schools of thought. i learned that ulysses as the grant would have terrible -- ulysses s grant would have terrible regret. the military and public had become accustomed. it stood out was pointlessness. as i socket to find an angle for these remarks by searching my mind of what i knew, a book i read several years ago came to mind. it is called "the war of the world" and it is provocative work by a provocative historian. its premise is that the 20th century where the two global .century where the two global conflicts and a series of more than a dozen others image cost more than one million deaths was the most v

you know, as you said earlier, we ran on this issue in virginia. attorney general, myself and governor mcauliffe, we won. the people spoke in the commonwealth of virginia. they are supportive of closing the coverage gap. so we need to do what the people wanting to do in virginia and that's move forward with medicaid expansion. >> just a quick follow-up. is there a case to be made for rejecting the budget and putting this back and saying, hey, look, i'm only signing a bubldget wit medicaid expansion because that's what the people want and republicans aren't giving it to them. is there a case to be made for that? >> certainly time is a factor. we need a budget by july 1 and here we are in the middle of june so we don't have a lot of time to work on that. so priority number one certainly is to have a budget in virginia that we can all work with. the localities rely on that. but we want to move forward with medicaid expansion as well so we're working on those options presently. >> my thanks to virginia lieutenant governor ralph northam. there is more o

it raised a lot of questions about how business operates in virginia. >> the virginia gop denies any kuo but pucket on the record in support of medication expansion. >> we talk pucket on the phone and he said pushing medicare through with the budget is the best way to ensure coverage for more than 400,000 virginians. >> including 20,000 in pucket's on district. 400,000 virginians who are likely to fay dearly for his sudden change of heart. tobacco commission and judgeships aside, it's easy to get lost in the political drama but the real story here as it always has been is the fight to expand access to health coverage for lower income americans. that's a fight republicans have been willing to wage at every step and now, with pucket's help it looks like the gop is closer to its goal of depriving almost half a million poor virginiansingvirginian virginiansing a to health care joining me now is lee lucas. luis, what did you make of phil puckets resignation today? >> i was absolutely in shock because there has only been one other time in the 23 years i have been a member of the senate of

i'm here for virginia. does that work if you're not often in virginia? >> yeah. no. not so much. >> it doesn't. >> people do not like koconde c condesencion. they don't like arrogance. the fact of the matter is, even yesterday, on the day of the election, eric cantor was in d.c. for most of the day meeting with republican leadership. i think that tells you everything you need to know about the way he viewed this race and his entitlement to the seventh district of virginia. >> at the same time, too, jason, i think the other kind of interesting thing that's playing out here is this notion that eric cantor was somehow in the reasonable wing of the party and they got beaten by the tea party. i mean, this was a guy who was part of that initial total obstruction strategy against president obama that started right on inauguration night. he himself was blocking immigration reform from coming to the floor. this notion that some tea party that was apart from him on policy beat him, does that make sense in this particular race given who cantor was as a guy who was governing? >>

i found this one letter in virginia. i start the first chapter with the a friend of mine has a fine black or for sale. he is not very big. he's about 12 years old. you better hurry if you wanted. and i read that and heard myself gasping this really quiet, clark drive because the way that this child was being described him even though my work is on slavery in the emmy's to people being treated as property, it was just stunning to me to see it in those harsh terms. i thought, what am i going to do with this? i do not know this boy's name, if he has a mother, father, sibling. i told, you know, if you find something to look at it, turn it upside down, shake it, try to figure out. i have used it to say, i don't know about this board, but i want to know about other boys and the other girls do experience separation. and so there's a whole chapter round that letter where i am people who tell about their experiences in slave narratives. we talk about the sources that were created by white people. the sources for african-americans

the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia. mr. manchin: let me just say i'm pleased to join my friend, senator whitehouse, from the great state of rhode island to talk about this important subject. in the past, we may not always have agreed on how to approach this problem, but at least we've come together to work on a solution together and that's -- that's very important. that's a rare thing in washington, as you know, and we're determined to see if we can find common ground to move forward. as senator whitehouse suggests, the way we produce and consume energy in our states is quite different. i'm the mountain state. he's the ocean state. nonetheless, we both agree that we need to strike a balance between the economy and the environment. one can't go it alone. it takes a balance, if you will, and about anything we do in life. one that acknowledges the reality of the climate change and, while also understanding that fossil fuels, more specifically coal, that we produce so much of in our state and is such a part of our economy, is a

right now on "first look," tea party stunner, eric cantor crushed in the virginia primary. >> a lot of people will say, well, there's a mental health problem, it's not a gun problem. the united states does not have a monopoly on crazy people. >> that's what president obama said when asked about the latest school shooting, adding we should feel ashamed for not enacting even the mildest gun restrictions. >>> stunning speed. the house unanimously passes legislation to help our veterans at a rapid pace. next it goes to the senate. >>> plus, check out the $3,000 watermelon. >>> also, a mayor caught on tape slinging dog poop? >>> and the most stressed-out state in america, yeah, it's got palm trees. can you believe that? good morning, everybody. thanks for joining us. i'm betty nguyen. >>> in a history-making upset, house majority leader eric cantor lost his republican primary election by double digits. cantor, the second most powerful republican in the house, was defeated by tea party challenger dave brat. brat won by a commanding 12% margin, an astonishing upset for cantor, whose own inter

as a state on the overall issue of supporting immigration reform in the state of virginia. and they found very similar numbers. again, they asked about two different versions of immigration reform and the support number in virginia, the support numbers were 2-1, 3-1 in favor. 60% of virginians said they'd be more likely to vote for an elected official that supports immigration reform. only 23% said the they'd be less likely. so how do you make sense of these numbers? contrary to all the beltway norms, all the initial shock punditry last night, this does not appear to have been a frenzy of anti-immigration sentiment in eric cantor's home state and home district that drove what happened last night. yes, immigration is what david brat ran on, but the polling says there's nothing magic about the issue of immigration that allowed him to win that seat. maybe david brat could have run a one-issue campaign on the debt ceiling or the need for term limits or some spending issue or any other issue where he might have been able to come up with language to put eric cantor on the defensi
