I think Wallace was correct when he criticized the Civil Rights Bill as unconstitutional, conferring powers on the federal government that far exceeded the powers granted to it under the Constitution. The Supreme Court had to really twist the Constitution (the Commerce Clause) in order to uphold it. The Constitution grants the federal government the power to regulate interstate commerce. The Court construed that power to include the power to outlaw racial discrimination in private business. It was such an over-broad interpretation that it practically empowers the federal government to do anything it wants to.

@@gls600 to be fair you have to look at it in context, at this time, many people’s parents or grandparents had grown up in the reconstruction era, so the excesses of groups like the KKK seemed like collateral damage of a virtual war between the occupying federal forces and the local population. The federal oftentimes installed freedmen in positions of power, expropriating farmland by force for freed slaves-turned-sharecroppers, not understanding the provocation they were causing. Once federal forces were forced to leave, southern states passed Jim Crow laws to restore the power of the landowning class and prevent a repeat of having northern-aligned freedmen in power, as the planter class was now suffering from the complete economic collapse as the new economy proved unsustainable, and they implemented segregation to regain their social position that had been eliminated after the war by seeming military force. Whether this was justified or not is up to personal morals, but the most important thing to remember when studying history is that all sides always believe their cause is righteous.

The dates here are long off (01/10/1962 or 01/10/1963 are incorrect) George Wallace wasn't "Governor" until January 1963 - and yes, there was a question regarding "President Johnson" who wasn't president until JFK was assassinated in November 1963 - this UCLA meeting took place in 1964. It's fascinating how Wallace spot-on says what is well known today - and was mostly laughed off then; Martin Luther King (never his real name by the way - he was born Michael King and his Daddy "changed" his name - never legally - on some silly whim) was a communist front-man/fraud. Hoover, Johnson, and the Kennedy's (as well!) all knew it. None of them had the true balls to publicly say so (out of fear of being labled "racist" and standing in the way of "Negro equality.") Hoover came the closest to calling MLK out for what he was, but in the end kept quiet. MLK ripped-off his PHD thesis (and even the "I Have a Dream" speech - from another black man!) and all of this this has been fully authenticated. The Hoover files/tapes were "deep-sixed" (at the request of Mrs. King to President Carter around 1977) for fifty years. Now why would that be? Something to possibly be ashamed of perhaps? Well perhaps. Have you ever heard of ANY black "leaders" (hustlers) demanding that the tapes/files be immediately released (before the set date of 2025) because they needed to prove MLK "right" and Hoover a lying fraud? No you didn't - and you won't any time soon either.

George Wallace was ignorant as much as he was a White Supremacist of his day. "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!" Was his abiding motto. Remember? He smeared the name of Dr. Martin Luther King - in my Book a Great Peace Maker and defender of Civil Rights, for Blacks in particular - by calling him a "communist" (whatever THAT is or suppose to be to a typical "true" American Conservative) and accusing him of not doing anything positive and constructive for Blacks. Remember? He blocked the door to the University of Alabama to try to keep Black students out on the first day that desegregation went into effect there. Remember? So I'm being "ridiculous", if only for speaking realistically of him. So Let me be "ridiculous" further. His UCLA Speech here is loaded with meaningless generalities and blatant contradictions as well as careless exaggerations and out and out lies! All on all it made no sense! (Like What the heck the defense of "private property" and "property rights" of Whites he would harp on and on over got to do with the treating Blacks with fairness and equitably the Civil Rights bills decreed must be in effect, he claim would destroy said property and property rights??? Made absolutely no sense!!!) and All at the same time attempting to be likeable in public and impressing on the students that he should appeal to them for supposedly being a man of "good ol fasion Christian goodness", just looking out for their best interest. Claptrap! And, mind you, that attempt flopped! As in the Q&A session he was hit with hard questions relating to racial issues affecting the Blacks in his Alabama, betraying more of his true self as his answers were at best evasive and highly misleading, if not weak and flimsy. (And no telling how many friends he had in the Ku Klux Klan!) The true George I dare to contradict you about is overwhelmingly well documented in print and film as well as confirmed by those closest to him and those that knew him the best. So answer me this, if he had been such a "great and honorable" man as you insist the world to see him as, why on Sam's Hill did he apologize to and plead for forgiveness from Blacks he's wronged during his political career in his home state near the end of his life, (an apology that only substantiates my argument and NOT negate it) ?

[@boxingandbulldogs6341]

52:22 What did he mean here? "Marching in the streets and throwing bricks at 'Injun' people" What is he referring to? Were the Civil Rights marchers doing this?

God Bless Alabama Gov. George Wallace! A great man!!!

[@Johnny35130]

Is Ben Carson asking the questions?

[@sambradley2975]

The only thing that I don't like about George Wallace was his position on segregation, but I admire his courage. I admire his capacity to change, & symbolizes what a true Christian does when he has wronged his fellow man, he asks for forgiveness from God & the one he has wronged.

[@larrywheeler9917]

Wallace was just a basic states rightist. He represented the old jim crow south. Civil rights were passed into LAW by Congress signed by the president. It's not the confederacy that won the civil war. The old confederate south has been a burden forever. This George Wallace is like little rooster in the barnyard - foghorn leghorn.

[@BungleGrindClown]

I would vote for George Wallace if I was alive then

[@georgschmidt5281]

Govenor George C Wallace was one of the most intelligent politicians ever.

[@sambradley2975]

Wallace knew about Communist influence in protests, long before ANTIFA, BLM, The Black Panthers, Yippies, etc.

[@jameskennedy721]

Southern blacks were given the vote before 1870 . It was denying them their legal right that left the door open for Communists to organize in the US among people of all races seeking basic justice . But that happened in the 1930's . By the Wallace years the US communist party was tiny , and churches were the main supporters of the civil rights movement .

I think George Wallace had the same cold I have, I hear him coughing. 😷

You should turn your eyes away and close your eyes, not close the eyes and ears of another because it offends your sensibilities.

[@chemprofmatt]

I am impressed with the restraint of the audience in listening to a man whose opinions they likely found completely odious. Nowadays someone with a such a controversial opinion would likely be shouted down and denied the opportunity to speak. There is significant historical value in this recording. I find it particularly striking that the arguments Wallace used against the Civil Rights Bill are essentially the same arguments used today by people who feel entitled to discriminate against the LGBT community. History does indeed repeat itself.

[@MrBloody32]

I was about to write something similar, but I couldn't have said it any better myself.

[@COACHINHBALL]

+chemprofmatt So you are certain they found him "odious"? You are certainly sure of your bs aren't you? Sounds to me like they love him...

[@johnprovince5304]

Very much agree. The Republic was founded on the basis that opposing ideas be debated openly and discussed. A new era of fascism is descending upon us.

[@AllenbysEyes]

+Jeffrey Jackson That explains all the jeers and interruptions.

[@dnedwrds]

So what about a white man who walks into a black barbershop? Under the Civil Rights Act I ought to be protected and should have a successful law suit when the black master barber tells me that he can't cut my hair and turns me away. This has happened to me 5 times. 3 in Compton California and twice in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas. I believe the barber had the right to turn me away and I respect that. You don't in a blind justice system of so called "rights".

The last true democrat, RIP Governor Wallace.

[@sambradley2975]

Like his ancestors, he fought against government intrusion (even though in the case of civil rights, the government was right to send troops). He was a smart man who respected the opinions of others.

[@sambradley2975]

Unlike the fanatical left wing subversives, the man never screamed. The only thing about George Wallace that I hate is his views on segregation, but he changed his views, & he had more Blacks in his administration than any other Governor of Alabama.

[@sambradley2975]

Bayard Rustin was also a Homosexual.

[@ernestguzman4962]

Hard to imagine that at one time California was actually American and Christian.

[@sambradley2975]

George Wallace was a very smart & learned man. His views on segregation were totally wrong, but at least he was true to his beliefs.

[@verborgenewahrheit1594]

[@rodneymacomber6337]

It is now black heritage month. This should be listened to by all.

[@goodafy]

If after listening to this views, you agree with him on civil rights in this 21st century. . Then it is ok to say that those that agree with him want to live with the injustices that brought civil rights in the first place. Mostly because they are NOT the victims of those injustices. I want to hear from the victims not the Gov.

[@sambradley2975]

Except for the segregation, Alabama could use a man like him

[@edwardclement102]

Wallace was right about the school, and look at all the unemployed with Bidden.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

I grieve for the left who would give the racist governor of Alabama George Wallace a fair hearing on a college campus. Today, he would not be allowed anywhere near it.

UCLA is ran by nazis

[@jameskennedy721]

Dylan;s line " Dont stand in the doorway - dont block up the hall " was a reference to Wallace , pictured here personally blocking the entrance to a building where University segregation was being knocked down by the Federal courts . Wallace later repudiated his racist views , and joined a black church as a congregant .

[@hhaalaop3290]

Wallace used race to launch his political career. 1958, when he ran as a "moderate" caused him to switch.

[@jordin7091]

Lousy Communists.

[@billybob-tl2tb]

So..this is when the democrats went republican it sounds....wasn't he not a democrat governor then ran as independent as president???Sounds the same in 2020...what a cycle...

[@nickmoser7785]

[@sambradley2975]

George Wallace had a down home personality & was also a gentleman as well. Except for segregation, he made Alabama great again.

This is the problem today one group blames the other.....we want little government but what really is the private sector? The government. Who do you pay for taxes? Government. What he is saying is that each state should run his or her own country then we would not have the united states but individual states...
