rebels could return to west virginia. now while west virginians were equally as unhappy about the likes of a potential boost in their midst. they had another reason for being worried. west virginia had been admitted as a state to the union in 1863. but it wasn't clear that this was going to hold there was a great deal of fear that virginia would reclaim those counties that had had left the state to reclaim them as part of virginia and if rebels returned and voted they could potentially outnumber unionists and the state might in fact revert to virginia. there's some 18,000 west virginians who had fought for the confederacy. in other words unionists face the prospect of having thousands of paroled confederates returning to a state they had been trying to destroy and so what do we see the same pattern that we see in maryland? in late april and early may at least 12 different communities and union strongholds past resolutions barring formal former rebels from returning home. these are more than just resolutions though. for ex

but virginia still is his preserve. and in the spring 1864, the army in northern virginia, about 65,000 soldiers is just south of the rapidan river that runs through central virginia, around area of orange courthouse. and it's in good good metal. everyone is ready to win this war for the south. lincoln is quite concerned that the union war effort shows some more energy. and he's particularly concerned that lee not win more battles, particularly with an election coming up. and so he decides to bring his best, ulysses s east to virginia. my good friend richard mcmurry, who's probably the eminent civil war historian of the western theater, always accuses me of having what he calls virginia disease or vd is, how he. is, how he delicately it. and i always have to remind richard that, back in the spring of 1864, everybody had. this is where all eyes were focused. washington and are 100 miles apart. this is where the cockpit of war really was. so grant is brought east. now, grant is new to the east and he's going to be new to

this is a virginia issue, this is an american issue.ts have to have not just a seat at the table, but the head seat at the table, and all decisions must go through parents with regards to their children. rachel: amen to that. pete: absolutely. let's get to why you're there, governor. you're in france to honor the fallen at world war ii cemetery in normandy and attend the international paris air show as well. what's -- for those of us that haven't been there, what's it like to be on hose hallowed -- those hallowed grounds? >> first of all, it takes your breath away the minute that you arrive because there is such a solemn sense of sacrifice and selflessness where you're reminded, as i said, of the undeniable truth that people die in order to protect our freedom. i'm also inspired by the fact that there are so many people here, tens of thousands of people come here every single day in order to remember and to honor and to celebrate the values that underpin the most extraordinary nation that's ever been, the united states. and i think that

she's to the university of virginia. i was talking about that with carrie janie last night, and she's going to add something to our understanding of the civil war. i feel confident and if any of you have read the january six, the report of the committee it's free and online and each of the leaders of the committee was given a chance write a preface and hers is all the civil war. it's about her great great grandfather who fought in an ohio regiment and how much the civil war has always meant to her. and so was she felt like she was honoring that love of country and all that americans went to stay one country between 1861 and 1865. so she may appear at a future one of these these gatherings. that's wonderful. thank you. thank you. let's see that book. one of the things i enjoyed about it among many is the references make to the classics. and so every chapter of the book. so as a chapter, each of the 13 days and each begins with an epigraph. the odyssey by homer. you also mentioned the influence of euclid on lincoln's think

when you think of coal you think of west virginia? and maybe as a native west virginian these sort of questions are sort of always top of mind for myself. but we're going to take that sort of the story a little bit further here and look at some of the concerns that are starting to emerge in the late 70s and early 80s about energy, which is a key question across the country. the nation's struggling through another devastating energy crisis facing long gas lines president. jimmy carter got on television to try to awaken the nation to the concerns that we're going on. on july 15th 1979 carter held a televised address on energy ever since unfortunately referred to as the malaise speech. a few months later west virginia's young governor jay rockefeller the son of wealthy standard oil family informed an audience in chicago. that while there might be concerns about the lack of alternative fuels and sort of the demands that we push for further in that direction as he said in his speech coal is now and while others might worry about the enviro

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

the war hasn't gone so well in virginia. all the battles we fought in virginia he's one. it wasn't that will in places like antietam and gettysburg but virginia is preserved and about 65,000 soldiers that runs through. lincoln is quite concerned that the union war effort shows more energy and so he decides to bring his best man east to virginia. my good friend who is the eminent civil war historian accuses me of having virginia disease or vd. [laughter]g i have to remind him back in the spring of 1864 everyone had vd. [laughter] washington and richmond were 10. so grant is brought east. grant is new to the east. he doesn't know a lot of these generals so he decides he will come down and visit with the the potomac which as you know is the main army in the east. he'd done quite well at gettysburg but not much happened sincees then. a few scrapes that places but no battles have been fought so grant comes down in early march on the north bank of the river and his plan apparently was to get ridid of him but after he talks he decides to keep him because he offered to step down,

i'll be honest i had written off virginia. no other virginia has become so blue. i didn't think virginia could be won. lo and be hold not only did you win you beat terry mcauliffe and showed that a blue state can turn red. god bless you for doing it. >> sean, thank you. thank you and i want to thank everybody in the audience. i'll tell you sean what you just showed is unbelievable, and don't be fooled. this is not a mistake. this is by design. the left liberal progressive's believe that they know better than parents. they want bureaucrats and politicians to make decisions for your children and i'll tell you right now, this is the issue going forward that will decide elections. it's not republicans against democrats. it is the progressive left liberals who are trying to come for our kids in the virginia we stood up in 2021 virginiaians said not here. we passth legislation that allows parents to be decide about materials that are to sexually explicit and replace them in the classroom but we continue to fight this every day because it's not a mistake. they're doing i

virginia. so there was tremendous concern, of course, george washington was a large slave holder and he wanted to maintain not only the system of slavery in the country, but especially in his home state of virginia. but he also wanted to protect the rights of slave holders. we would see in that year a man by the name of isaac hopper from philadelphia who actually started creating a system in philadelphia and in other parts of pennsylvania that would lead to assisting. so a system that would assist people who would found their way to philadelphia or some parts of pennsylvania in their escape route and helped them resettle or help them get close, helped them get a job or help them move to another area further north that they thought might be even more of a protect it area for them. but within a few years, it wasn't just in philadelphia fear, but this network began to spread out to other places. first, among quaker was as a system, but also among free black communities that were starting to emerge

. >> one more i want to ask about is glenn of virginia. he seems to be flirting a little bit with the idea of entering the race? >> we are not sure whatt he's up to. he flat out said he was not going to run for president this year while he focused on the legislative races in virginia. he's trying to keep the virginia house leaving open the possibility of there is an opening or it looks like there is where there would be an opportunity for him. but then he's been releasing sort of national type of sweeping videos comparing himself to ronald reagan which led people to question is he thinking of getting into the race next year so far he's focused on virginia and the commonwealth but we are going to have to see. >> national politics and government reporter. thanks so much for joining us.

this happened earlier today in northern virginia.eds which explain the sonic boom that was heard far and wide all the way down to ma in a sass. norad says, during this event, the aircraft used flares which may have been visible to the public in attempt to draw attention to the pilot. flares were deployed with the highest regard for safety of the intercepted aircraft and people on the ground. the plane was intercepted around 3:20 eastern time today and the pilot was unresponsive. subsequently crashed near the george washington national forest in virginia. i'm also hearing from a source familiar with this investigation that four people were on board this airplane. pilot unresponsive. the plane overshot its initial destination in new york by 315 miles. you can see the track there on flight tracking site flight aware. the flight took off from tennessee and went northeast bound over northern virginia, delaware, southern new jersey and then turned inbound for long island there. then proceeded to fly southwest bound and through the layer an

host: one more governor to ask about his glenn youngkin of virginia. he seems to be flirting with the idea of entering the race. guest: we are not sure what he is up to. he flat out said he was not going to run for president this year, emphasis on this year while he focused on the legislative race in virginia. trying to keep the virginia house and flip the senate there for republicans. the possibility he could run in 2024 next year if there is an opening or it looks like there is some fluidity in the race, there would be an opportunity for him to do well. but then he's been releasing videos recently, national type sweeping videos comparing himself to ronald reagan which sort of lead people to question is he rethinking entering the race next year if that's what happens. so far what he's saying for public consumption is he's focused on virginia and the commonwealth and getting republicans elected to the legislative race. we will have to see. host: mark is nat

my family grew up in west virginia and largely in virginia. we had private wells. i think a lot of folks around the country still do. a lot of folks having private wells drilled for them and their families and farms in some cases. the presence of contaminated well water is becoming a problem nationwide. in delaware we know about 173,000 residents depend on private wells. most people don't think we have that many people in delaware but we do. we have a million people now. there is about 170 3000 residents who depend on private wells for the drinking water. this number is growing and not shrinking. congress included language in the drinking and wastewater infrastructure act to allow epa to give grants to states to address underground sources of contamination in acting wells. unfortunately epa cannot implement the language except to connect homeowners to a regulated water utility which is not always feasible. because wells are managed by the states, congress does not expect epa to check on the regulation of wells under the safe drinking water act. congress did expect

in other words, virginia from fredericksburg, virginia, up to northern virginia. the population is growing, and some of that population is refugee population. but i don't think the refugee population is the primary driver of the population group. what's primarily driving it is urban, ization and, and the search for corporate jobs and the successful search for corporate jobs like amazon, h, q 2 up in northern virginia. and, and, and in effect the, the, the state government is trying to attract all of this economic activity, which they've successfully done. and that is driving population growth. so at least in, in my surroundings, in virginia, there is population growth, but i don't think it's the refugees. i think there may be 5 to 10 percent of the total that the 80, the 80 to 90 percent of the total is coming from other parts of the united states, which aren't doing very well. and relatively speaking. now another point about the idea that they're causing population growth in making life worse for the um, the host community. i would offer a calendar of vision. and

the gentleman from virginia is the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. scott: thank you, madam speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. skort scot madam speaker -- mr. scott: madam speaker, it's unfortunate that this was focused entirely on distractions. on stead of addressing learning loss and gun violence in schools, here we are threatening to withhold federal funds from k-12 schools that do not adhere to the extreme maga agenda. and the reality is that h.j.ress -- h.res. 461 does nothing to address the real issues confronting students today. this is a nonbinding resolution, so it does nothing to fund education. it doesn't even prevent schools from being used to house undocumented -- undocumented immigrants. now, one thing that we have to come to grips with is complaining about a problem doesn't solve the problem. complaining about immigration policy doesn't solve the problem. complaining about schools doesn't address any of the underlying problems, doesn't fix anything. and so this is wh
