45:00 - And then he went out and chose the VP running mate that arguably sank his campaign, by going against the opinion he stated here. He should have chosen a mild-mannered conservative Republican senator.
His first VP choice was former Sec. of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, President of the Council of 12, and future Prophet, of the Mormon church. The church President at the time stopped it.
George started as a liberal judge without being racist. And when he did not get elected appealed to the majority vote by scorning and renouncing the civil rights.But in his private life was treating minority the same as whites. When Wallace was shot he had an epiphany and sought forgiveness from the very people he scorned. This happens a lot with politicians thy appeal to the majority to get elected by adopting a view point that they do not have in there personal life.

Where you can’t say you don’t know who his name is George Wallace Canyon? All over the United States a certain age people know who George Wallace was. He put Alabama on the map Didn’t he, and are you Familiar with 1976? They come close to running him on the ballot as a vice president to Ted Kennedy. They lost that to Jimmy Carter

Fascinating. Amazing similarities to some of the prime concerns many hold today, concerns that helped Trump win the White House. Thank you for uploading this.
I agree I remember G Wallace as a kid and a teenager, and I forgot the incommon similar things, that all of a sudden I’m like no one since, but D Trump,spoke like this, I only wish, D Trump had the same appeal, such as, how G Wallace handled press, it was in my opinion, a little better, than D Trump, One thing would be perhaps productive for Mr Trump is to study this man’s politics, and that Mr Wallace said no where as large as this country is, are there that many divisions. That alone could have helped, true or not, he said “ basically “ as where Mr Trump is not reaching a certain people, bc, the word division, is enforcing it. Not saying all Americans basically, have the same common interest. Isn’t that strong from a man from Alabama? Compared to a different man from NY. I mean every way NU is larger, and wealthier, it was used in multiple movies for example. Alabama is like GA then or even Mississippi, a far deep southern state, politically George Wallace, got Alabama National attention. And over the country, he was well known in name.
@@GGE47 Wallace formerly didn't like the Klan, however he began to heavily suck up to them and their supporters to gain support in Alabama. He had a lot to do with them.
He talks about law and order, however he never pursued the terrorists who bombed the Birmingham church which killed four girls. He never pursued the killers of Viola Liuiso. He never had Bull Conner punished. So his version of law and order is skewed.
I can't believe how people thought back in those days the way I see it you have good and bad in all races I Don't think someone's bad because there skin colour is deferent to mine I view people for the way they think and the things that they do ✌🏻🇬🇧👍🏻
What must have been really scary about George Wallace. He was a highly educated, articulate, well-covered, racist, and unlike trump, he actually served in in, what was, the US Army Air Corps, prior to the US Air Force.
The 60s were a decade of violence due to civil unrest. Black Americans were weary of being second-class citizens. Separate entrances to buildings, sitting in the back of the bus, even separate water fountains. Not to mention the mistreatment, violence, and murders inflicted upon them because of a racist belief that they were inferior to whites. Segregation needed to end there was no other choice. That of course didn't stop those who felt Black Americans were forgetting their place, as if that wasn't racist. But they had been raised in an America where they expected to be treated better than Black Americans, so this was an unfortunate but predictable point of view. The segregated black communities did lose something when integration became the law of the land. The community and togetherness that brought them close by being compressed into small areas of town or the state as a result of segregation and racism were lost as they were no longer kept in those small communities. Customs and understanding of their culture were lost as integration progressed, but this was also expected, while unfortunate. What makes this video and other George Wallace videos on TH-cam notable, is not the racism or bigotry disguised as the restoration of law and order is the same sales pitch that MAGA and Trump use today. So 70 years later we have essentially a reboot of the George Wallace campaign. They say if you don't know your history you are doomed to repeat it. I would say the Wallace and Trump campaigns and platforms are eerily similar in many ways. Of course, Trump actually made it in the Oval Office, but what happened during the administration and on Jan 6th, could have been predicted. And if Wallace had made it to the Oval office his administration would like have mirrored Trumps because similar views, similar approaches, are likely to yield similar behaviors and outcomes. And it should be noted that Wallace was a Democrat who then ran as an independent. So although the story is the same, it is clear that this rhetoric can come from either party, and we must think critically about what any person says, and determine the accuracy and the genuineness of those statements
Multi Cultural societies will never and can never succeed. Wallace understood that what is realized now today, that desegregation would lead to the destruction of the country. The supposed unrest was fueled by Marxist figures like MLK who rained violent riots on to the streets in the name of justice, same as the Floyd riots of recent times. What they really wanted was to upset the established order and purity and replace it with degeneracy and chaos, which we see today. Trump on the contrary fails to see this as a race issue and falsely believes it's simply a left right wing issue.
Damn if he would of combined his 1972 more toned down non segregation and 1968s momentum and support in the rust belt he could of carried more of the south
As a high school student, I protested this man's hatred and bigotry at one of his rallies in Indiana (a stronghold for the KKK) in the Spring of 1972 while my mother and brother's stood in the front of the crowd cheering him on as he spoke after landing at the airport. He was shot May 15th on the campaign trail about 2 months later. My mother was a member of the Indiana delegation to the 1972 Democratic National Convention in Miami in July pledged to George Wallace and our family accompanied her. The Indiana delegation was invited to meet with Mr. Wallace at the convention less than two months after he was shot five times and paralyzed. Being 17, I didn't have much choice in my family about if I would be going or not. I shook the hand of this frightened, paralyzed man as flash bulbs on cameras went off despite them being forbidden. His expression was like a deer in the headlights. I'm saddened to think of all the people in a similar physical situation or dead due to his rhetoric of hate. He changed his mind regarding aspects of his bigotry years later. Sometimes it takes a lot.
Except when they drop those bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that was new that was something new under the sun. What do you mean to say emotionally there’s nothing new under the sun. Like Eve when she told the truth when she said we’re not supposed to touch that tree. Then she added to it I think some people call that fibbing she said we’re not even supposed to touch it and her weakness was shown later on two brothers one kills the other out of jealousy. There’s only 14 emotion seven positive seven negative that’s what don’t change that’s what is solid, but we can not go back in time, don’t believe me, try it! Never say never, it’ll bit!

There is no doubt that his segregationist ideas were pretty awful and disgusting. I can't imagine many politicians in that time had different feels about people, especially with all the riots. But his polices against state coercion, for limited government, pro federalism are very dangerous, especially to the elite establishment. Which is why I'm sure the press, "mainstream conservatives", and the Buckleys of the time hated him more so than for his racist ideas.
His other so-called policies were simply reactionary and part of the real policy of being anti civil rights (so-called states rights was always the battering ram against abolitionism, anti segregationism, and civil rights). They were hardly a threat to the so-called Elite. They were actually in defense of elitism
A damn great man and proud southern son , God bless you and yours my friend , you are missed and never will be forgotten . God bless Dixie and God bless the South.
But I'm still waiting for the Democratic Party to apologize and pay one penny of restitution for the horrors that Slavery and Jim Crow (which George Wallace was in favor of) had created.
He wasn’t a good man, there were so many better men who didn’t do what he did, none of his actions were necessary, look at the president Johnson for all his faults, he worked with MLK, and prioritized a future eventfully were he would give voting rights despite the criticism that would come or the many protesters who would stand with black people in a March for freedom and equality. He had his chance to change as well, he will be remembered for not changing, for his actions against black people (Several injuries and deaths occurred because of him and Clark in Selma to Montgomery)
The comparison made nowadays is between Wallace and Trump. They have used similar messages but Wallace still comes across as much more intelligent and with a sense of decorum for his office. It was uncanny hearing Wallace get the nuclear weapons in Vietnam question that the media posed to Curtis LeMay a short time afterward, which did so much damage to his campaign.
It was a 10th amendment state's rights campaign. He would have gotten a lot more votes if people weren't so afraid of Hubert Humphrey. They wanted to vote Wallace , but voted Nixon just to keep Humphrey out of the White House. Hopefully Trump will turn the schools back over to the states and localities and abolish the Department of Education. They have no right under the Constitution to have stolen the schools from us. We would have also won the Vietnam War. Government would have never have become slave masters of the American people. The education of the schools has terribly damaged the young people. A number of them couldn't even read their diplomas. The Great Society welfare state would have been dismantled and people would not be so dependent on government and far more freedom. That is Fascism, not Wallace. Socialism is Nazi , Fascist, and Communist systems. We are supposed to be a free country, not a government controlled system of socialism. We were being run by thugs and Federal judges. You probably believe in all of that. Totally unAmerican.
transitny And yet Donald Trump, who ran for office once in his life, has won the presidency of the United States, and is a self-made billionaire. He is a very high I.Q individual
He was basically a conservative. And the Deep South also didn’t fully transition heavily towards the Republican Party till after jimmy carter and bill Clinton. It was a slow transition
51:28 - Well, you can't say he ain't honest. It's quite hilarious. Of course, Wallace is trying to be "politically correct" in all his responses. He just can't shake off his "segregationist" temperament . But, here come some "intellectuals" to grill him.
This guy was basically the best you were going to get at that time. Alabama was not ready for some big shot new sheriff in town "hey yall that white only restaurant well you gotta close it or take that sign down" "you guys vandalizing homes, you are going to jail" "You gone hafta take out that hot water fountain out and everybody use that 1 cold one"..... Wallace did the best he could to control that madness.

George Corley Wallace Jr. fue un político y nacionalista blanco estadounidense que fue gobernador de Alabama durante cuatro mandatos. Miembro del Partido Demócrata, se le recuerda sobre todo por sus firmes opiniones segregacionistas y populistas.
I can’t resist adding something in re the California pietists shown at about 25:20, affirming what they think is the tightness of the American misadventure in Vietnam -- mainly because their boy is involved in it. There is more than a faint odor of tragedy in this scene. The fulsomeness of what I call rhetorical prayer always disturbed me, with the doxological formula “in Jesus’ name” and a fervent “A-MAN!” At the end. The poet Robert Lowell, a backer of Eugene McCarthy in those long-ago days, once remarked, “I fear that, if we fail, we shall be superseded by a reign of piety and iron”. Alas, Lowell’s fear was not groundless. Today we have an unholy alliance between Donald Trump (who knows no religion except self-worship) and fundamentalist Christians.
@@stevesilva2780 I'm only twenty, so I've got a lotta years to live, but I think that's because state governments or the federal government haven't truly accepted nor realised the effects generational trauma can have on families. In this case, slavery, lynchings, and disenfranchisement of black Americans. It's similar to the most deprived areas of South Africa being over 90% black even though black south Africans were given equal rights in the 1990s. That was only thirty years ago, policy isn't enough to change lives, people have to change their attitudes too. Seperately, northerners could probably see Wallace's opportunism, which Southerner's couldn't as they were blinded by being so vehemontly scared of civil rights. It's important to remember the south wanted to rewrite confederate history to preserve confederate culture by making slavery appear humane. Sorry for the word vomit. Just my thoughts. I appreciate being able to have this discussion with you.
If he had more money and Russia helping him he may have been president. Take away the south accent and the sensible hairdo and you basically have Trump. Amazing considering this is out of the 60s. I guess this was when America was "great" and what Trump wants to return us to. At least when he got to Trump's age he realized he was wrong and apologized.
Aaron's Life.....it's amazing how 35 percent of the population were racist bigots/imbeciles and today there are still 35 percent racist bigots/ imbeciles like yourself still around. Oh well enjoy your little view of the world ...Trump is soon to be gone and you lot can wallow in your gutter once more....GOOD RIDDANCE
Michael Barnhart Yea, it’s wrong for a President to use divisive language, such as: 1. Call all opponents of same sex marriage bigots 2. Call the pro-life movement a “War on Women” 3. Call all immigration enforcement advocates racists 4. Call the GOP the enemy of Hispanics... Oh wait 🤦🏼♂️ that was Barack Obama.
He was so on the wrong site of history and choice to be on that wrong side, that I do not understand why this power-addicted person would stere any sympathy. It's ideas that first of all matter not the people vocalizing them. It must be my European heritage that makes me think this way.

@@thecastleofenlightenment2604 you better get your priorities straight now before you leave this earth, you better repent because George Wallace did he knew what he was representing and what he did was wrong and that’s why he repented and turned from his wicked ways and that’s what you need to do talk about George Wallace is your hero the only hero you should have is Jesus Christ do right like John Lewis said, get in some good trouble God is soon to come repent so you don’t spend eternal in Hell 🔥 how is a woman laying on her back and the worst part of hell is the heart because God’s going to judge you on your heart get your life straightened out with God and repent you need to read Romans 10:9-11 and make sure you repent because you don’t wanna leave this world with your wicked heart and end up in hell. God loves you enough that he died on the cross for you so you wouldn’t go to hell and I love you too.
Wow
Amen
A man that didn’t care for his own countrymen rights doesn’t deserve the chance of being president
There is no doubt that his segregationist ideas were pretty awful and disgusting. I can't imagine many politicians in that time had different feels about people, especially with all the riots. But his polices against state coercion, for limited government, pro federalism are very dangerous, especially to the elite establishment. Which is why I'm sure the press, "mainstream conservatives", and the Buckleys of the time hated him more so than for his racist ideas.
His other so-called policies were simply reactionary and part of the real policy of being anti civil rights (so-called states rights was always the battering ram against abolitionism, anti segregationism, and civil rights). They were hardly a threat to the so-called Elite. They were actually in defense of elitism
Blacks wanted segregation also. So what's so bad about people getting what they want?
Its only racist when white people do it when other nations and people want to be separate its there "Culture " rite ? Give me a break

Is that Tom Pettit ( from NBC) moderating the second part of this w/ the profs.? sounds like him.
robert landoni jr: yes
He was a great man... and like everthing else most people will judge him compared to today's times... not how it was then.
He wasn’t a good man, there were so many better men who didn’t do what he did, none of his actions were necessary, look at the president Johnson for all his faults, he worked with MLK, and prioritized a future eventfully were he would give voting rights despite the criticism that would come or the many protesters who would stand with black people in a March for freedom and equality.
He had his chance to change as well, he will be remembered for not changing, for his actions against black people (Several injuries and deaths occurred because of him and Clark in Selma to Montgomery)

wheres the rest? It was starting to get interesting
The comparison made nowadays is between Wallace and Trump. They have used similar messages but Wallace still comes across as much more intelligent and with a sense of decorum for his office.
It was uncanny hearing Wallace get the nuclear weapons in Vietnam question that the media posed to Curtis LeMay a short time afterward, which did so much damage to his campaign.
It was a 10th amendment state's rights campaign. He would have gotten a lot more votes if people weren't so afraid of Hubert Humphrey. They wanted to vote Wallace , but voted Nixon just to keep Humphrey out of the White House. Hopefully Trump will turn the schools back over to the states and localities and abolish the Department of Education. They have no right under the Constitution to have stolen the schools from us. We would have also won the Vietnam War. Government would have never have become slave masters of the American people. The education of the schools has terribly damaged the young people. A number of them couldn't even read their diplomas. The Great Society welfare state would have been dismantled and people would not be so dependent on government and far more freedom. That is Fascism, not Wallace. Socialism is Nazi , Fascist, and Communist systems. We are supposed to be a free country, not a government controlled system of socialism. We were being run by thugs and Federal judges. You probably believe in all of that. Totally unAmerican.

57:57 - What was his next point going to be? The video just ended.
"large percentage of dogs eating dogs".
What do you think it was going to say?
Reminds me of Dr McCoy from Star Trek.
Trump and Wallace would have been some team.
MAGA !!
Wallace sounds just like a Republican. 🤔
He was basically a conservative. And the Deep South also didn’t fully transition heavily towards the Republican Party till after jimmy carter and bill Clinton. It was a slow transition
Or more like today's Republican party sounds like Wallace.
Nothing has changed. Those professors talk in circles no common sense.
A bigoted populist I agree with him on everything except his racial ideas
Are we supposed to finish the last GW comment ourselves? If so, I think I know what comes next.

51:28 - Well, you can't say he ain't honest. It's quite hilarious. Of course, Wallace is trying to be "politically correct" in all his responses. He just can't shake off his "segregationist" temperament . But, here come some "intellectuals" to grill him.
52:40 - Professor Billington is saying, in a bizarrely convoluted way, that state oppression provokes revolution.

VOTE FOR WALLACE IN 2020
Vote God Jesus Christ in 2020
Absolutely!
Yeah you do that.
This guy was basically the best you were going to get at that time. Alabama was not ready for some big shot new sheriff in town "hey yall that white only restaurant well you gotta close it or take that sign down" "you guys vandalizing homes, you are going to jail" "You gone hafta take out that hot water fountain out and everybody use that 1 cold one".....

So if the Poe-lease think that someone is a commonist, he is? Hoo-wee!
Ya know?? They Loved Him In Birmingham
George Corley Wallace Jr. fue un político y nacionalista blanco estadounidense que fue gobernador de Alabama durante cuatro mandatos. Miembro del Partido Demócrata, se le recuerda sobre todo por sus firmes opiniones segregacionistas y populistas.
I can’t resist adding something in re the California pietists shown at about 25:20, affirming what they think is the tightness of the American misadventure in Vietnam -- mainly because their boy is involved in it. There is more than a faint odor of tragedy in this scene. The fulsomeness of what I call rhetorical prayer always disturbed me, with the doxological formula “in Jesus’ name” and a fervent “A-MAN!” At the end. The poet Robert Lowell, a backer of Eugene McCarthy in those long-ago days, once remarked, “I fear that, if we fail, we shall be superseded by a reign of piety and iron”. Alas, Lowell’s fear was not groundless. Today we have an unholy alliance between Donald Trump (who knows no religion except self-worship) and fundamentalist Christians.
A good man an Governor not like the spineless wimps we have today
Amen
Wallace had a great economic program and would have been an interesting president.
May I ask if there are parts of Wallace's policy you disagree with? Had you voted in 1968, would it be for Wallace?
@@stevesilva2780 Are you alluding that segregationist policy should’ve stayed?
@@stevesilva2780 I'm only twenty, so I've got a lotta years to live, but I think that's because state governments or the federal government haven't truly accepted nor realised the effects generational trauma can have on families. In this case, slavery, lynchings, and disenfranchisement of black Americans.
It's similar to the most deprived areas of South Africa being over 90% black even though black south Africans were given equal rights in the 1990s. That was only thirty years ago, policy isn't enough to change lives, people have to change their attitudes too.
Seperately, northerners could probably see Wallace's opportunism, which Southerner's couldn't as they were blinded by being so vehemontly scared of civil rights. It's important to remember the south wanted to rewrite confederate history to preserve confederate culture by making slavery appear humane.
Sorry for the word vomit. Just my thoughts. I appreciate being able to have this discussion with you.
@@stevesilva2780 i couldn't agree more!

Would have made the greatest president
Don't worry, you have Trump now. Though he has 1/3 the intelligence of Wallace, Trump is equally devisive and power hungry.
If he had more money and Russia helping him he may have been president. Take away the south accent and the sensible hairdo and you basically have Trump. Amazing considering this is out of the 60s. I guess this was when America was "great" and what Trump wants to return us to. At least when he got to Trump's age he realized he was wrong and apologized.
Okay kkk.
Aaron's Life.....it's amazing how 35 percent of the population were racist bigots/imbeciles and today there are still 35 percent racist bigots/ imbeciles like yourself still around. Oh well enjoy your little view of the world ...Trump is soon to be gone and you lot can wallow in your gutter once more....GOOD RIDDANCE
Michael Barnhart Yea, it’s wrong for a President to use divisive language, such as: 1. Call all opponents of same sex marriage bigots 2. Call the pro-life movement a “War on Women” 3. Call all immigration enforcement advocates racists 4. Call the GOP the enemy of Hispanics... Oh wait 🤦🏼♂️ that was Barack Obama.
it truly amazing how far Wallace actually got with his racism.
In the 60's and 70's, especially in the southeast US, it was very segregated, schools, housing, employment opportunities and Churches too
what do you mean racism?
