abc's kenneth moton is in arlington, virginia. >> reporter: tonight the candidates in the virginia governor's race criss-crossing the commonwealth in a final sprint toward tuesday's election day. >> right now, we have a big lead in the early vote. >> reporter: democrat terry mcauliffe, a former virginia governor, neck and neck with republican glenn youngkin, a political newcomer and businessman. >> are you guys ready to win or what? >> reporter: voters in the state largely concerned about education and the economy. >> i've got big bold plans. i'm leading on education. that's the reason why i'm ireio r >> we will teach all history. but what we will not do, we will not teach our children to view everything through a lens of race and divide them into -- into baskets and then make them compete against one another and steal dreams. >> reporter: the race, a toss up. a recent poll finding 49% of likely voters favoring mcauliffe, 48% youngkin. the republican endorsed by former president trump, but youngkin keeping trump and his allies at arms length, going solo on the trail, focusing on the critical

female to receive a star in united states air force, it stated that she had passed and she buried in arlington national cemetery. and so that's what our theme was going to be for veterans day. but we realize that she was not the first. and so then we looked at featuring the first in the military branches of african-american women excelling and achieving the goals that they set out, such as the first african-american female combat pilot, the first female african-american to receive a star both in the army and the air force, the first woman to join the coast guard, and the first african-american woman to die in combat. kristen: alright, well, those are people we should definitely know, along with, of course, the first african-american secretary of state, general colin powell. i understand you have a special tribute to him, as well, right? leon: yes. yes, we did. not only having attribute, but we definitely had the colorguard who then basically acted as an honor guard, supporting the exhibit. kristen: all right, well definitely we want to check out the exhibit. you have an interesting story, leon

and then to be part of that system and even more so in arlington with the main testis property at arlington and those others at the monkey river. and all told there is 190 slaves who are a part of those properties. robert lee benefits from that. and benefits from their work and their labor and is one of the custis slaves, his wife has slaves. and they will assist with the children and go on vacation in the slaves go with them. so lee certainly benefits from the slave system even if he doesn't himself have personal title to large numbers of slaves which he doesn't. he says nothing c for years and years not until the 18 fifties when slavery is becoming a crisis issue in american politics but it's interesting that he talks about it at all. because we had learned in his military career not to talk about politics. soldiers who talk about politics are got mixed up in politics usually suffered. and happened in the first of the mentor and with winfield scott. and yet slavery by the 18 fifties and then to start writing about it in a letter to his wife and he comes out to say slavery is a moral evil

arlington itself benefited from the enslaved labor. and at the same time, he's a voracious public private correspondence. write thousands of letters. she also ties that disapproval because it's bad for white people really this crazy rationalization happening there and despite his expression of disapproval , his family was supported in large part by enslaved labor so can you talk a little bit about lee's thinking around slavery and how he drove to those rationalizations and conclusions ? >> lee grows up so to speak with slavery. his parents owned slaves. his mother owned slaves when they were living in alexandria even though there were reduced circumstances. there were at least six slaves in the lee household in alexandria. when and carter dies in 29, part of her estate is the disposition of the slavesin that estate . some slaves are appointed towards her two daughters. in this case and marshall lee . i'm sorry, and kim lally. she becomes an lee marshall and her sistermildred lee . but one slave family is willed to robert, or at least i

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 reputation and otherwise. he wanted independence and wanted to be his own man and one sense his marriage was an attempt to stake out a room for himself but he also yearned for security. the security his father denied him so while most of lee's contemporaries left the army as soon as i received their taxpayer provided college degree decently resigned and go into private engineering practice other professions, stays with him as the one certain profession could count on. a huge factor in this pursuit of independence, security and per

and though lee married into one of the foremost families of virginia, the costas of arlington, arlington overlooked the potomac, facing the national capital, not virginia. and his if-laws were wigs who had the nation first and state loyalties afterwards. but lee could not ignore however in 1861 were two factors. first, light horse harry lee, for all of his revolutionary fame, had been a hard luck husband and father. and left his family for the west indies when robert was only 6 years old. the shadow that light horse harry cast over the lee name was one that robert struggled to redeem. hence that broad streak of perfectionism in his behavior. robert also yearned to breathe free of his father's reputation in other ways. one in independent and his own man and his marriage to mary custas was a way to stake out realm for himself. but he also yearned for security. the security his father had denied him. so while most of lee's contemporaries at west point left the army as soon as they had received their taxpayer provided college degree and could go into private engineering practice or some othe

even more so at arlington, when he marries into the customs property at arlington. but there's also two other properties along the river. all told there is something like 190 slaves who are part of those properties. and robert lee benefits from that. when he marry so that he benefits from their work, their labor. he has a family who is one of the custis slaves. hurries wife has slaves who will wait on her. and they will assist with the children. they go on vacation. so, lee certainly benefits from the slave system even if he doesn't himself have personal title to large numbers of slaves. he doesn't. the curious thing is he really says nothing about slavery for years and years and years. not until the 18 fifties when slavery is becoming a crisis issue in american politics. and it's issuing to interesting that he talks about it at all because li had learned very early in his political career, military career, not to talk about politics. soldiers who talked about politics or who got mixed up in politics usually suffered for it. he saw that happen in the case of his fir

. >> john: if you are at the arlington cemetery earlier today for the memorial service at the tomb of the unknowns, which is always a very moving event. what do you believe that we as a nation need to keep in mind on this solemn day? >> as i said today in the president said today, basically veterans day is a day to remember, but also it's a day to renew our commitment to veterans. so what i think today means is, let's as an opportunity each of us to recommit and refresh our sacred obligation. >> john: this is a day that has been observed where america is not at war but there are a lot of veterans of the afghanistan conflict or very upset at the way that we got out of afghanistan a number of months ago. and of the fact that so many people are were left behind despite the fact that the president said we are going to get everybody out. do you say to those veterans? >> i want to say one thing first, we are not at war per se but we do still have a lot of our troops around the world standing guard, carrying out dangerous missions for us and what i say to them and their families is thank you

. >>> president biden will mark veterans day at arlington national cemetery by laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. in honor of the tomb's 100th anniversary, the public got a rare chance to walk up to the memorial and pay tribute to america's unidentified fallen service members. 96-year-old world war ii veteran darryl bush placed flowers at the tomb. he was shot five times during the battle of the bulge in 1944 and he said at one point he thought he would be an unknown. >>> let's take a look at your veterans day weather. thousands were left in the dark when a strong storm hit areas around tulsa, oklahoma, overnight. the storms stretched into north texas with hail, strong winds and heavy rain. the system moving east is bringing storms from the gulf coast into the carolinas today. it's all part of a coast-to-coast storm system that will hit the midwest with heavy rain today. the northeast gets that rain tomorrow. checking today's high temperatures 50s in boston and seattle. mid-50s from denver to chicago, as well. 80s for the southwest. >>> coming up, the growing impact o

we see the first flyover at arlington national cemetery. there will be many more of those coming up and coming moments here. you have a piece out at foxnews.com with senator graham, lindsey graham, who was with us less to mike yesterday. here's a headline. biden's terrorism complacency, the u.s. must act now to counter threats. the war against islamic terrorism has not blessed us" you, radical islam is again on the march. in what way? >> i had a note that said the entire region has received the word that jihad has one and the west has lost. recruitment is through the roof and the u.n. is reporting 8000-10000 foreign fighters pouring into afghanistan and we are in a row. when the obama administration -- similar to when the obama administration pulled out of iraq in 2011 and we saw the rise of isis over the next few years. the set of them at different of what senator graham and i get to is that we have a lot more tools. we had bases in local allies in the curds and access from the ocean. there was much more when we had to send our soldiers ba

we are live in arlington, virginia. sunday lynn, what happened in virginia? >> reporter: okay. that's exactly the question mr. democrats here in virginia and nationwide, frankly, are asking this morning in the aftermath of the election results here. and certainly notable that in the last hour, democrat terry mcauliffe officially conceding the race, saying in a statement he hopes virginians will join me congratulating glenn youngkin for his win and wishing him the best. this is a significant gut punch for democrats and mcauliffe officials acknowledging that they certainly understatemented youngkin and they said that the race for them just shifted in the end. now for youngkin, he was squarely focused throughout his campaign on the bread and butter state and local issues, issues like education and exit polls really found that that resonated with virginia voters. here's the governor-elect celebrating his victory last night. >> together, together, we will change the trajectory of this commonwealth. and, friends, we are going to start that transformation on day o one. >> now, it's no

we will continue to monitor what is happening at arlington. let me come back to you and continue our conversation about what is happening inside the euro zone. we were talking to lance fritz a little earlier on. he runs one of the biggest railroad operations in the united states. he was saying that the u.s. is seeing higher inflation because it is seeing better growth. it's got better growth. to what extent is that true? the reason the u.s. has an inflation problem is that growth is running rampant right now. is that something we should be worrying about in europe? have we understand you rather than overstimulated the economy here? agnes: i totally agree with that point. growth is higher, and what is stopping it right now are supply-side bottlenecks, high energy prices, uncertainty, the virus still roaming around, and insufficient vaccinations, if not insufficient your shots. so all of this is well understood. there is room for the economy to expand in the u.s., but also in the euro area, which is also affected by these energy price shocks, an

at 11:15, president ad and at arlington cemetery about veterans day. i am wondering whether he talks at all about the cpi print yesterday. this is incredibly political. how does he reframe this? they were suddenly acknowledging inflation and trying to work with it in a new way rather than just say it is transitory. the mood has shifted, and so does the political rhetoric. jonathan: do you think some of the economic analysis is political as well? one thing i notice, a lot of people found it hard to divorce their political bias away from their economic analysis. i just wonder to what extent that is happening again. lisa: honestly, how do you parse the two-out? because the political response is what you do with data, how you interpret it. it is a very tricky thing. how do you move forward and try to combat this? we don't know how quickly some of these inflationary pressures will roll off. i am just being honest, when i talk to economists, their political view is related to their view on akamai can put. jonathan: i hear a rumor that -- view on economic inp

i want to drill down to the president of arlington come of the eighth congressional district, the auto guy, he is a democrat and he is looking at arlington and saying we are democrat, we are not, virginia is republican. how is don beyer's job, how does his november and january change after last night's results? henrietta: you have to focus on the independents. the swing among the independents was 13.6 last night, and when republicans look at new jersey they see the great white whale of the parties future. focusing on independence is what you have to do. tom: how does the congressman from arlington the senator from west virginia adapt again to the selection out,. -- to the election outcome. how much more power to buyer and mansion have? henrietta: democrats should be thankful there is not a virginia senate race. senator manchin, senator cinema, the moderates in the house will have a bone to pick with progressives and repeat something joe manchin said to them a while ago, which is you might have a forum in the house but you need to win more elections if you think you are the backbone of

he kept trump at sufficient arms length to appeal to the northern virginia voters, places like arlington and lehman besburg. he didn't alienate maga voters in the southwest. youngkin doubled down on making this race about concrete issues he argued were progressive overreach in public schools, crime, tax breaks, et cetera. by contrast what we saw from mcauliffe was a flat campaign that kind of lacked direction. when you add it all up in an off-year election where democrats have been struggling to articulate a coherent message beyond the fact they're not trump, i think the outcome maybe wasn't too surprising. >> yeah, we were looking on the screen at top issues on both sides. how much do you think the thinking or popularity of the president, president biden as well as the democrats struggled to move the legislative agenda, perhaps has dragged or dragged mcauliffe down here? >> i think it's certainly a challenge for democrats going forward. it's pretty clear that democrats need to look at yesterday's results as a wake up call. virginia in particular is stlukt i have precisely because of its

cnn washington correspondent sunlen serfaty at a polling site in arlington, virginia. sunlen, we know there is a major focus on this. a lot of talk about whether this race has actually is a bellwether for 2022. what were these two candidates saying in their final pitches to voters? >> reporter: well, erica, as you know, this is a very, very close race. and the candidates know that they need people to get out here and vote today. and what we saw from each of the candidates in making their closing arguments was largely them staying true to the core part of their strategy. for democrat terry mcauliffe that was about defining this race, casting youngkin, the republican candidate, as a proxy for donald trump, tieing him to donald trump, even falsely claiming last night on the campaign trail that youngkin was doing an event with trump. that was a reference to a tele town hall that trump dialed into that youngkins wi was not . and for glenn youngkin, his strategy has been to keep trump at arm's length, keep some distance from the former president's endorsement, focusing on lo

let's go to sunlen serfaty, following the results of the election from arlington, virginia. terry mcauliffe has not conceded yet, but the numbers seem to be clear here. do we know when he'll make that call? >> reporter: well, jim, mcauliffe officials tell cnn overnight there is no urgency to do so, but certainly the expectation is that is going to have to be the next step here. and democrats this morning are definitely waking up to this gut punch blow in the governor's race. mcauliffe officials admitting that they just underestimated glenn youngkin in the end and the race for them just shifted in the end. glenn youngkin was able to tap into a series of state and local issues, most notably education. that did resonate among voters last night in exit polls. that's something that the governor-elect gave a nod to in his victory rally last night. >> on day one, we're going to work! we're going to restore excellence in our schools! we're going to start with charter schools and make a down payment and close the gap on giving parents an opportunity to select where their kids go to s

i have the great honor of leading troops in iraq and afghanistan and in between i served at arlington national cemetery with the oligarch and stop the army from our regiment that guards the tombun of the unknown soldier that does ceremony like the inauguration or ceremonies or heads of state. our just pack up the cemetery yesterday, it was veterans day, a special veterans day. one hundredth anniversary of the tomb of the unknown soldier. one hundred years agogo yesterd, the one unknown was in turn. a couple of days ago my wife and i took our 6-year-old and five euro boys to the tomb because for the first time in 96 years ever had aye guard of any kind, civilians were able to walk and lay a flower on the tomb to honor theth unknown we wanted or boys to do that even though they are probably a little young, they are old enough to have memories of and certainly the images of it. if your kids are six or live from my kids at that age might have been a little concerned that we drove into them they needed to be quiet and respectful, this was sacred ground as we were getting up to the edge, we

>> i was driving back in from the mcauliffe event last night coming across the bridge there from arlington ceremony to the lincoln memorial and thinking about joe biden, looking at the lincoln memorial, always a beautiful drive. you're thinking about biden was about to land and our later and you've been on trips with the president where you come home on a late night flight and when you land, it's not great news. i give them a credit today. the president did not look panicked. the white house has not seemed panicked today. their attitude is they're taking this seriously and there's no doubt in a democratic party that is always replete with bedwetters, they had a lot of incoming over the course of this day. people were concerned and scared. a lot of electives who were freaked about this. to hold your composure in a situation like that is a big task and to your point, i think the by they look at this is the president hasn't had a lot of wins since october. now we're in november. the president hasn't really chalked up any really big political wins and i think they see those wins are just out o

we have numerous scenes in our book of giuliani going over to arlington where the campaign is headquartered and taking command of the entire legal strategy to the chagrin of trump's actual campaign lawyers and so there was a blending of the outside and the inside during this transition period. they weren't sequestered. >> let me read, because you also broke the eastman memo, which adam kinzinger described as a blueprint for a coup. let me read from your reporting. you and bob woodward reported this in "peril" about the conversation on january 4th. "i've been getting guidance that says i can't, pence said, glancing at his counsel. well, you can, east man said. his january 2nd memo to leave has expanded. its gist, have pence pause the process in congress so republicans and state legislatures could try to hold special sessions and consider sending another slate of electors. it also still asserted there were duelling slates and offered a scenario where vp pence opens the ballots and determines on his own which is valid but eastman acknowledged those alternative slates remain goals. you really n

this is arlington county. it's geographically small, but this produces -- joe biden got 80.6% of the vote here last year. and since this isn't quite functional yet, adam, do you know what type of vote we're looking at in arlington county here? this is key. this looks like we're getting the early vote reported out in arlington county. and i do have a point of comparison here for 2020. the absentee early vote -- okay. it was 85% for joe biden. the early absentee vote in 2020 was 85% and it looks like mcauliffe is running a couple points behind that. again, there was a ten-point cushion in the state for democrats. biden beat trump by ten points. mcauliffe can afford some slippage tonight from where trump ran in this state. so in arlington county, he ends up two to three points behind where biden ran, that one good news for terry mcauliffe. this is just one of those core vote-producing areas for democrats. this is the city of fairfax county. inside fairfax county is fairfax city. fairfax city is much smaller than

we have all angles covered this morning starting with the polling location in arlington, virginia. good morning. big day there. >> reporter: it certainly is a big day, christine. this race is incredibly tight that has national significance, and national implications going forward. not only for midterms for the next presidential cycle, but certainly how many candidates across the country are approaching their races going forward. and this is something that we saw both candidates in this governor's race, terry mcauliffe, the democratic candidate and glenn youngkin arguing, the national significance for both of their respective parties going forward. now, in the final day of campaigning, last night we saw glenn youngkin crisscrossing the commonwealth of virginia, again receiving the endorsement of former president trump and former president trump also appeared at a telerally for him last night. something that the youngkin campaign certainly kept at arms length someone they have constantly kept at arms length during the duration of this campaign. and youngkin really appearing last nigh

arlington at 95%. so you are looking at the places that you know are the deepest blue where the democrats are going to get 60%, 70% or more they're in. we come down here. another example about margin. youngkin winning chester county. margins matter. so winning in the suburbs in the central part of the state more conservative. traditionally the parties that ran under trump, youngkin is losing. you say, oh, that's terrible. you see that margin right there. but then you go back in time and a little bit more. >> and one of the things that's interesting while we talk about all of this, the exit polls indicated the economy was one of the most important issues. and terry mcauliffe thought he was a pro jobs governor when he was governor before, but he ran in a way, a democrat was saying to me earlier, terry mcauliffe ran as an incumbent, right? and glenn youngkin ran as an agent of change. >> this is a change year. >> right? in terms of economics being the most important issue, inflation, gas prices, home heat

move over here, arlington county, 95%. >> yeah, it's important to point out you run out of buckets at a certain point. >> and 86% in alexandria, where you are winning by 24,000 votes. shy of that right there. as the other 14% come n you can anticipate terry mcauliffe will cut in to it, cut in to it more. the question is, is there enough to cut in to, you know, 84,000? an hour ago. it was 111,000. so it's has been shrinking. that's a fact f you say, you are a democrat and you want to wait to the end of the finish line. it's mathematically impossible. >> the 84,000. it's a shock to the system. >> we are talking about improbable, going up to 95 for jersey. with 62% of the vote in. and that's where that number now gets significant. you have a healthy margin in percentage wise and totals. now you are closing in on a third of the vote. it's the same experiment. the countys s are bringing them in. it's the number one county in the state. 10% of the population and this at the moment is flipped and we are up to close to 68%. 67% of the vote four years ago. that tells you that the murphy map is

9/11 museum in new york, 9/11 tribute center, the e pentagon historian, capitol hill historian, the arlington county public libraries, the flight 93 national memorial park service compiled in shanksville. and i found with a researcher who worked with me on this book, we found about 5,000 of those original oral histories archived around the country and ultimately boiled it down to about 2,000 that i spent a year working with you end up telling the story that i tell in this book. there are some big observations that sort of grow out of looking at 9/11 on a national level like that that i want to spend some time talking about tonight. the first is just how different our country was on the morning of september 11. that we sort of now say flippantly and in passing, 9/11 changed everything. but we forget just how much actually 9/11 changed. and to capture that, we have to actually look at what to me is the most fascinating moment of 9/11, which is the 17 minutes between the first crash and the second crash. eighth:46 in the morning to 9:03. and what unfolds during those 17 minutes is the country re

we start in arlington, virginia. a huge change in the commonwealth. >> reporter: a huge change, john, a huge swing for republicans here in virginia and a significant blow for democrats. terry mcauliffe making it official a short time ago, officially conceding this race, calling glenn youngkin. we are told the two have not officially connected by the phone yet. mcauliffe lost certainly in part due to his laser-focused strategy on attempting to tie youngkin to former president donald trump. in the end that simply did not work. youngkin was successful on being able to cultivate his own brand outside of president trump at the same time while not alienating trump voters, attracting moderate voters and appealing to the base. in part that was due to him being able to tap into virginia-focused issues, education and parental rights. john, that was a big win and resonated with virginia voters here. >> a fascinating race. we'll be studying it for months and months heading into the next one. let's go to new jersey now and jason
