before there was barack obama, before there was condoleezza rice, there was colin powell. he was an iconic figure of a generation and inspired people. he was the role model, he meant toward, and i don't know, i just wish we had a lot more colin powells right now and a lot fewer woke generals. >> sandra: it's always remarkable to see as we have in the front row there, the former president and first lady, michelle obama, hillary clinton stated there with george bush a. it is a beautiful moment as we all mourn the loss of colin powell. i look back at a statement from his family upon his death, saying, "we have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather, and a great american." we know colin powell is a great american who served this country dearly, but we had such personal stories. john talked about michael powell, his son, honoring his father with a great story. i doubt there was a dry eye in the cathedral. when michael powell talked about colin powell coming back after a long day of work and showing up in the icu, in the hospital room, where michael powell as

not sure it will work, barack obama came in and hinted at that, but we have doug wilder, the popular former black governor of virginia saying that terry mcauliffe has not been that good on issues for black americans. i just think none of this is working. it doesn't seem to be moving the needle in mr. mcauliffe's direction and i think that will be scary to a lot of democrats looking ahead at next year. >> sandra: you set it up for us tomorrow, and as we look at the midterm election, still here and from "the wall street journal," thank you. and john, we will know more about the race in 24 hours from now. speak to your lips to god's ears, let's hope this is a case. we will be talking about this later on this hour with the parent from fairfax county, virginia, who says in the past she has typically voted democrat and did vote for joe biden, but is changing her vote now a lot of it based on what is going on out there in virginia in terms of education and what is happening in the schools, so that is interesting. coming up soon, fox news alert now, president biden in scotland for the u.n. s

obama and vice president kamala harris. he holds the lead early in the night but as a result kept trickling in, the race kept getting tighter. >> we are all sorry that tonigh cannot yet be the celebration w wanted it to be, as i said, whe every vote is counted, and ever vote will be counted, we hope t have a celebration. to get those votes are still counting. this morning registered democrats outnumber registered by more then a million, but the race is still too close to call. ciattarelli tells us he is stil optimistic. >> the great news, guys, as we have sent the message to the people of new jersey. what i love about this state, and although it was not my intention, we have sent that message to the entire country. >> the ciattarelli campaign say they are still focused on makin sure all of those legal votes are counted putting out a statement about an hour or so ago. here in new jersey there is no automatic recount, but either side can ask for a recount, so we will get word on that here this afternoon. they're are still ten

obama after the big covid relief package said this is going to stock like max stoke inflation, and for months we have heard the transitory soon, and now we are in november and it's worse than ever, and to say that we take it seriously, there are some people that have been taking it seriously and the white house is talking and down, so very right to the game, and the least of their problems is where kamala harris is, the bigger problem is a fact that she has 28% approval. >> john: on the topic of being transitory, which is the coho sandra smith the other day, but they keep selling us on the idea that the bill back better plan, all we have to do is pass this reconciliation plan and life will get so much better, and she was even saying just a moment ago, jen psaki at the press briefing that we have economists out there who are saying that it is going to ease inflationary pressures, but mark penn who you know well is a noted democratic strategist suggests that to this idea of pushing and pushing on the bill back better plan, particularly from the far left with the party is not what democra

a former campaign manager for barack obama said democrats should go on the offense against critical race theory. >> critical race theory was a lie and i think we need to go on the office. are you scared for your kids to learn about slavery or lynching or housing skrrgz? >> john: marc thiessen is a former white house speech writer. no parent, i'm a parent of twins is afraid to have them taught about slavery, lynching and ongoing societal problem but it's the lens through which many h many people want this taught that's an issue. >> that's 100% correct and this is the new line from the democrats and quite frankly from the liberal media. he said we're lying about critical race theory. no, they're not. last year the loudoun public schools paid $34,000 to equity collaborative for teaching teachers about critical race theory. "introduction to critical race theory." it says. quote. this is what they're telling them to teach. in c.r.t. racism is seen as an inherent part of american civilization. one of the parents was so concerned about this that they filed a public records request and they got
