this is virginia. we are proud and we are inclusive. >> i agree that we are proud and inclusive, but i don't agree with you that we are doing great. i love the commonwealth and the reason i'm seeking the governorship as i know we can do better and i feel called to serve because i truly believe that my policies will get us unstuck and that is what is at the center of this election. last year, 51% of them took a four year college degree and i would venture to guess everyone here this evening either has an adult child or niece or nephew or family friend that has moved out of the commonwealth. i was talking to a woman in houston texas who grew up in fairfax county. she was unable to find a job and was living in texas now. she loved to be closer to home and her parents with love to have her closer but she was forced out of the commonwealth to find a career path as we have a lack of opportunity if you can keep your answers to 60 especially the couple you both requested, mark you are next. >> the issue of san

these people were in virginia, but they are not from virginia. i know my fellow virginians, we are respectful of one another. they called it a unite the right rally. these people are not on a legitimate spectrum of left to white. kkk, kk members -- these neo-nazi, members. they people are a yellow, are not on the same continuum. there is not a political philosophy. it is a twisted mindset rooted in hate that believe some people are lesser than others, that one race is superior than another, and another religion is inferior to yours. if that is your view, it is worse than immoral, it is the presence of evil in our world. we must confront and reject it. as governor, i will always do so. secondst to follow, 30 of additional time. why should the states have the final say in a the local municipal? mr. gillespie: in virginia, there are certain statues that has jurisdiction over. has your of visitors station over vmi -- has jurisdiction over the mi. it would reflect his view that the statue should come down. i would hope they would reflect my area it wo

went to virginia military institute, and then east of virginia medical school. i took a commission in the united states army, serving eight years. i served during desert storm, taking care of wounded soldiers. i've had the privilege of taking care of sick cheildren and thei families over 25 years, serving in the virginia senate, i passed the smoking ban in restaurants and concussion protection for our student athletes. i understand the student way, excuse vision on how we take virginia to the next level. thank you so much. >> all right. let's dive right in. mr. gillespie i'll begin with you. we received hundreds of questions through facebook from virginia voters, concentrated it so it was only open to virginia voters and you might not be surprised one topic has come up more than any and last month's violence in charlottesville, which of course prompted a national debate about confederate monuments. you and mr. northam have taken two different positions, they should stay with the proper historical context. mr. northam supports their removal. i'll ask you both a f

of virginia. last, something that was mentioned earlier is a aaa bond rating. we need to do everything we can to protect that. look at those bond ratings. >> this is very important. you pay $7,000 under taxes and and you canhased in see the need the relief. this kicks in at an income level my opponent year to thinks you're rich and that is wrong. we had a 10 year low and labor force participation rate under the lieutenant governor's administration. we have been swapping out the high paying jobs with low paying jobs and we have too many people working part-time and not all-time and that is why we have revenue crunches. they do not have the revenue triggers in the plan that i do. >> thank you. thank you. we are trying to -- you will get more time. i cut him off. i promise you we are coming back. >> a criticism we hear is about the standards of learning test. you talk about reforms, as many others have. is it time for them to go? what would you replace them with? >> i am an educator and i have taught

that is not virginia, the people of virginia. a lot of outsiders came there. why it is so important for us to bind their wounds, come together to understand this beour country and we will part of making it an america for all americans. are on lot of people search engines right now looking up doug wilder and alan iversen, but we will take this call from new york. you are on the air. caller: can you hear me? host: go ahead, we are listening. caller: can you hear me, sir? mr. wilder: yes, i hear you. host: that caller is gone. we are moving on to charlene in florida. caller: hi there, how are you. mr. wilder: how are you? it is very, very good to see you and meet you this morning. this is the first time seeing you, governor wilder. i love what you have to say. it hits home. i blame a lot of our chaos on booksr school's history have been changed. the emphasis has not been put on both sides of history, and the truth in what has happened in our country, because that is so important. you cannot go forward if you do not know what you did in the past, you keep making t

pleased to see virginia now. it wasn't such a great place but then when i lived there with a lot of racial profiling going on >> host: go ahead, governor. >> guest: i would say i'm beginning to see we lost a former president at james madison university not too long ago and i went to stanton and those areas and the previous caller called from the southwest this was pretty much the northern part of the state or the northwestern part of the state and the question that was asked earlier relative to dip in parts of virginia, they are different parts and people have different ways of expressing themselves and ways of living and yet i think what we are finding is that virginia is pretty much a bellwether state. it's considered a mid-atlantic state in the southern state and i think the ideology here i think you'll find more independent voters than party voters and the party dictate doesn't necessarily produce the same as one time and that may be good. >> host: norfolk virginia is next and this is richard. hi richard, go

so henry's father came to virginia in the 1720s, his uncle and namesake uncle came to virginia about 1730 as an anglican clergy member. they settled in hanover county which is north of richmond eventually henry's father and married well and then it was a route to respectability that a lot of 18th century and then washington comes to mind, and in both cases a widow, wealthy widow henry probably studied mostly with his father and he did not formally go to school and then in virginia that appeals to children particularly who have been homeschooled, the homeschooling movement regards henry's very particular he learns, he does a couple of things and he tries his hand as a planter and merchant, his father tries to set him and his brother up with the store, they lack the credit that's necessary and 18th century virginia's economy, they lack the deep pockets that their competitors, glasco and added berg scottish factors had numbness stored as a last for very long. ultimately henry begins to read the, there's a completely open question as to how long he read the, some people say four weeks so

[inaudible] - virginia was his country. he did get offers and, if we had another half hour we could go into them. he got offers from washington on many, many occasions to become an investor and have a seat on the supreme court. henry and washington, despite the fact they disagreed over the constitution they had forged a working relationship during the american revolution and there were other events where washington always knew henry had his back and speaks about that in the last years of their live lives. so basically, by that time, henry was not in good health. he retired from politics and 1791, 92, and then basically his health goes downhill. he's only 63 when he dies. if it is real quick we might be able to squeeze one and.

this is not just virginia problem. nearly 6 million americans with felonies around the country today cannot vote. think about that. 6 million americans. these are people just like terry who served their time and are ready for a second chance only to be shutout from their community, the community that they contribute to. when people return to their communities after being incarcerated, we want them and we need them to make the most of their second chance. progress is rarely easy, and i knew this would be the start of a hard fought battle but clearly one worth fight mchg as i look back on the past year and a half, i'm proud of the remarkable accomplishments we've achieved because we never gave up on that fight. we stood up to take action that will become a hallmark of significance in civil rights. and today because of this work i'm proud to stand here and say we've restored the rights of more than 100,000 virginians who now have a second chance. i now have the honor of restoring -- our work must continue until every pers

nobody knows politics in virginia better than julie carey. let's talk about the campaign you've been covering from the very beginning. what do gillespie and northam need to do at this point, who do they need to target? >> it's always they need to target everybody tonight because they need to get voters focused on this race. virginia traditionally kind of refolk uses attention late. but specifically there is still a big pocket of undecided voters. we've seen it in the polls that have come out in the last 15 days, 10 to 15%. they need to make a connection to those voters, get them to the polls. and in that pool there is a lot at stake for ralph northam. a bigger percentage of those undecideds identify as democrats. there are a lot of african americans who say they are undecided. ralph northam needs to get those people to the polls i >> you know, we were talking in the break awhile ago about is virginia a purple state, is it about to turn blue? there is a lot at stake for republicans in the commonwealth and it's been a while since mcdonald won a

could you talk about the establishment of freedom of religion in virginia and the bill of rights? >> be happy to. the question is could i talk about henry and freedom of religion in the bill of rights. henry grew up in a household where religious toleration prevailed. to hear the presbyterian evangelist samuel davies, his father went to hear everything he indicates was his boring uncle, his anglican sermons. henry was very active in his support to the american revolution, faced off against virginians notably edwin pendleton, and archibald blair, in caroline county, throwing them into prison, henry argued on behalf of the court cases on behalf of independent baptists in the 1770s, and the colonial government so they constantly got themselves in the crossways. unlike the presbyterian evangelicals who were willing to go along with religious toleration and agreed to certain rules, the independent baptists, to go where they went without any control by the state. henry had a very strong reputation being interested in and supportive of the baptists. early baptists writing about the histo
