george wallace. i'll take it., the pioneers, the people who did it, the people who are still doing it. for me one of the names that always stuck out was george wallace. you have been the comedian's comedian for so much time but you also crush it with the audience, from the days of jerry seinfeld in the club, you were mr. george wallace, dr. george wallace. is it a doctorate in comedy? what is it a doctorate in? >> you got it, man. doctor of comedy, george wallace. we started out hitting the clubs, four, five clubs a night. do you know to this day we have been friend for 45 years to this day in new york city before the pandemic, we still go to the clubs, four, five clubs a night and she try out thyself new jokes. >> trevor: there are a few comedians i know who love and perform stup comedy as much as you do. and then the pandemic hit, and i was like, where is george wallace and what is he doing? >> since march 14, i shut down my tv show at netflix, and i came to-- wikonda. that's atlanta. listen to me, first of all,

[video clip] >> now therefore, i, george c. wallacegovernor of the state of alabama, by my action raised issues between the central government and the sovereign state of alabama, which the issue should be adjudicated in the manner prescribed by the constitution of united states, and my duties under the constitution of the united states, the constitution of the state of alabama, and seeking to preserve and maintain the peace and dignity of this state, and the individual freedoms of the citizens thereof, do hereby denounce and forbid this illegal and unwarranted action by the central government. >> i take it from that statement that you are going to stand in that door and you are not going to carry out the order of this court, and you are going to resist us from doing so. >> i stand in front of the statement. susan: people might be surprised to read in your book that you discovered that both sides, the kennedy administration and your father's administration, orchestrated the outcome there. ms. kennedy: well, it worked out. my father did

performatively racist enough that it could defend nixon's racist white flank which was going to be george wallaceeg denied the presidency. but the midwest states stayed with nixon, and they really believe a large part of that was because of agnew's appeal to the hard right racist base. >> he continued that in the white house. he was the guy that would be sent out to say the harshest possible things, put it in the harshest possible language. rachel, what crimes did spi spiro agnew commit that federal prosecutors got wind of and start investigating, and how do they do that in a justice department that was -- everything is prior to donald trump -- that was the most corruptly run justice department in our history at that point, run by an attorney general, john mitchell, who himself got convicted of crimes? >> part of the reason they were able to do it is that they got lucky that the local prosecutors who uncovered all of his crimes didn't start out looking at him. they started out looking at garden variety corruption in maryland, and they didn't think they were looking for agnew. they sort of stumble

donald trump, george wallace and the influence of losers, and he writes in part, quote, over the next four years, the post trump republican party will seek to consolidate the voters in its electoral campaigns even if his influence is diminished. some will try it trump's way. the most worrying part of trump's legacy is his no longer ambiguous disdain for elections and the constitution. out of the instinct for self-preservation and attraction to authoritarianism and a wounded ego, trump has launched an absurdly inept but still frightening attempt to overturn the 2020 results by sheer force of will and i would only say, joe and steve, that i think it's beyond an attraction to authoritarianism. i think he's there. he doesn't understand democracy and he doesn't give a damn about it. he doesn't understand what's precious and beautiful and worth saving about it. >> well, he never has. he said that article 2 of the constitution is giving him supreme power to do what he wants to do for as long as he's wanted to do it. he's questioned the federal judiciary -- >> look at the people showing. >> t

democratic governors -- some of the most opponents of civil rights were southern governors, like george wallacef alabama, or evil of arkansas. john patterson of alabama. jfk. really had to go all out to get john patterson's endorsement. the democratic candidates for presidents like jfk really had to walk a fine line. they want to contend for the african american vote and some of the cities because that gets sort of tipped the balance in their favor in a close election, of course the jfk election in 1960 against the republican nominee which was an extremely close election. so jfk wanted to clean the african-american vote but he also did not want to be supporting civil rights so strongly that he would antagonize southern democrats like patterson and drive them out of the coalition. >> just to jump ahead. 1964, the republican nominee had voted against the civil rights act. if you come to this a sort of the student of the civil rights movement you would tend to think republicans oppose the civil rights movement and democrats -- did not break down that way at all. >> yeah. i mean goldwater -- >> tha

some of the most vocal opponents of civil rights were southern governors, like george wallace orval faubus of alabama, patterson in and jfk had to really go all out to get john patterson's endorsement during his campaign. so democratic candidates for president like jfk have to really walk a fine line. to contend for the african-american vote in some of these northern cities, because they know that can to the balance in their favor in a close election, and of course the jfk election in 1960 against republican nominee richard nixon was an extremely close election. claim theted to african-american vote, but he also did not want to be seen to be supporting civil rights so strongly that he would antagonize southern democrats like patterson, and drive them out of the coalition. republican64, nominee for president, barry goldwater, had famously voted against the civil rights act. and if you come to this as a student of the civil rights movement, you would think republicans opposed the civil rights movement and democrats supported it, but it really did not break down that way at all. professor gai

. >> tucker: that's george wallace stuff. people say that on tv now, really? what's going on?t's where we are. turns out joe biden isn't simply assembling a team of rivals, this is simply -- how is this going to play out exact the? they hate him but they are working for him? i jesse watters is from "the five." they seem to have no respect for him at all. what does this tell you? >> the call joe biden buffoon and he says, you know what, you get me. can you start monday? [laughter] kamala harris basically called him a rapist and he goes, you know what? i think you have good judgment. i'm going to make you my number to go. and then symone sanders basically called him whitey. at this point, you are not going to have to bribe him. if this trend keeps continuing, what, are they going to make tara reade defense secretary? i mean, is he on the short list for cia? you have said some pretty not so nice things about joe biden. you could be may be in the running, but the point is this.r joe biden has been in politics for so long and everyone says something mean about him at some point. he

some of the most vocal opponents of civil rights were southern governors, like george wallace of alabama or orval faubus of arkansas, patterson in alabama, and jfk had to really go all out to get john patterson's getrsement during his campaigno john patterson's endorsement during has campaign. candidates for president like jfk really had to walk a fine line. want to contend for the african-american vote in some of these northern cities because they know it it can tip the balance in their favor in a close election and of course the jfk election against to the republican nominee richard nixon was an extremely political action. jfk wanted to claim the african-american vote, but he also did not to seem to be supporting civil rights so strongly that he would antagonize southern democrats like patterson and to drive them out of the coalition. ahead a little bit, goldwaterarry famously voted against of the civil rights act. if you come to this as a student of the civil rights movement, you tend to think republican supported civil-rights and but hets were opposed did not pan out that way at all.

he's compared the israeli prime minister to george wallace repeatedly has disparraged police officers, even obstructing an investigation into abuse claims that occurred at the summer camp he ran in maryland. while the charges were later dropped, police report shed a lot of light on what was an extremely uncooperative and frankly disruptive warnock. the more we learn, the more we feel that warnock is not fit to serve. >> rafael warnock attacks our military. >> the kind of thug mentality. >> warnock attacks our police. >> somebody's got to open up the jails. >> rafael warnock is dangerous. >> hannity: joining us now senator kelly loeffler of georgia. senator, welcome to the program. lot at stake here. what do you have to say to the country and the people of georgia? >> well, sean, great to be with you. future of the country is on the ballot here january 5th. we have to hold the line in georgia. we know the country is counting on us. we heard chuck shumer say it. now we take georgia, then we change america. radical liberal rafael warnock is chuck shumer's radical agent of change. look, t

from warnock's extremist past, praising the nation of islam, comparing israeli prime minister to george wallacepeatedly disparaging police officers, even claiming americans cannot serve both god and the militaryg a fellow extremist jon ossoff, he appears to be taking his cues from quid pro quo joe and a zero experience hunter. and a new ad put out by senator purdue, it exposes some of his troubling ties to the chinese communist party. take a look at this. >> news reports recently uncovered it jon ossoff is being paid by the chinese communist government by a media company ties to a tech giant accused of spying. unbelievable, but i absolutely true. jon ossoff won't hold china accountable, he works for that. >> sean: here to break it all down, former white house deputy hi staff, karl rove. i guess i'm the only one of country, probably you do that hasn't made a bunch of money from china. you've got swalwell, hunter and joe, no we have jon ossoff. >> that is interesting. he hit it. had it when he began the campaign to lay out the customers and climates of his media company. he laid out that nine of

he was both, vote for richard nixon, but instead voted for george wallace. they allowed the faithless electors vote to be counted, but it didn't make a difference and nixon one. -- won. votingond was supposedly irregularities in ohio. chamber is separated and they rejected the objection. what could happen today? some house members have said they are going to reject and it is possible they could get us a -- a senator to join them. senator rand paul has indicated he might. that would mean both houses would separate. they would debate whether or not to accept pennsylvania's electoral votes if one of those people alleges voter fraud as they may allege. you would need both the house and senate to agree and reject the challenge. since the house is democratic and also since the senate, several senators have indicated they believe vice president biden was properly elected, you might be unlikely to get a majority of the senate either. it is extremely unlikely given the house's composition. i would say chances are basically near zero that the slate would be ejected an

malone attended the university of alabama and that's when george wallace stood in the door and said segregation today, tomorrow and forever. robert kennedy was attorney general and sent in the national guard and of course he stepped out of the way, she entered the school and graduated. from stories with the sister, she did not have any difficult times when she was there. and i must say, she was not the first african-american to attend school there, but vivian was the first african-american to graduate. so when she graduated, nobody in alabama would provide her job. so ultimately, she gets a job with the department of justice and washington, d.c. the school did ask her to come back to do the commencement address, and she did to make a long story short, the theme of her commencement address was you must always be prepared because you never know what door you may have to walk through. and that is the story of ms. vivian malone jones, who opened a lot of doors. the city made this and that is the story of honorary vivian malone jones ms. vivian malone jones, who way as a complementary to the opened

he has compared the israeli might know my prime minister to george wallace repeatedly, dispe officers 2002, warnock was even charged with obstructing a police investigation into abuse claims that occurred, allegedly, at the summer camp that he ran in maryland. while the charges were later dropped, police reports shed a lot of light on what was an extremely uncooperative and frankly disruptive warnock. and by the way, so the more we learn, the more obvious it is. raphael warnock is not fit to serve, nor is jon ossoff, in the u.s. senate. here's a clip of senator loeffler's new ad laying out, well, just what is at stake. take a look. >> nobody can serve god and the miller military. >> raphael warnock attacks on military. >> police power, a thug mentality. >> warnock attacks our police. >> somebody has got to open up the jail! >> raphael warnock day drinks. >> joining us with reaction's center kelly loeffler of georgia. senator, welcome to the program. lot at stake here. the program. what you have to say to the people of georgia? >> sean, great to be with you. look, the future ofo the co

some of the most vocal opponents of civil rights were southern governors like george wallace of alabamaor orville faubus of arkansas. >> john patterson in alabama before wallace. >> that's right. and jfk really had to go all out to get john patterson's endorsement during his campaign. and so the democratic candidates for president like jfk really have to walk a fine line. they want to content for the african-american vote in some of these northern cities because they know that can be -- that can tip the balance in their favor in a close election. and of course the jfk election in 1968 against the republican nominee, richard nixon, was an extremely close election. so jfk wanted to claim the african-american vote, but he also did not want to seem to be supporting civil rights so strongly that he would antagonize southern democrats like patterson and drive them out of the coalition. >> so just to jump ahead a little bit but in 1964 the republican nominee for president barry goldwater famously had voted against the civil rights act. and it tends as you come to this as a student of the civil

he compared prime minister benjamin netanyahu to segregationist george wallace.bigot, and is a racist. elizabeth: oak. let's listen to reverend warnock calling farrakhan's nation of islam, quote, important in the development of black theology. watch this. >> well, the nation of islam is significant but its numbers don't come anywhere near the membership of our churches. its voice has been important and, its voice has been important even for the development of black theology because it was the black muslims who challenged black preachers and said that you're promulgating, called it the white man's religion. that is a slave religion. you're telling people to focus on heaven meanwhile they're catching hell. elizabeth: okay. you know, deneen, louis farrakhan has been blaming jews for the quote, transatlantic slave trade. he called jews satanic. he called them diabolical. he said about jews in 1985 at madison square garden, quote, let me get the quote for you, he called hitler a very great man. he said when god put you in the ovens you're there forever. what so you sa

joe mccarthy as an example, george wallace as an example.e out rather quickly. and i think there's a good chance that will happen with trump, too, once we get past january 20th. >> but john, here's the fly in the ointment of your theory. those examples that you gave didn't have right-wing media allies that have taken a huge foothold now in the country. and so, as you know, we're in this incredibly bifurcated media landscape, where some people are in the echo chamber and only hearing the information from, you know, radically right-wing networks. and so, isn't -- doesn't that ensure, particularly if president trump gets involved with one of them, that trumpism goes on >> it's possible, you know, i'll take the bet, but i know i could lose it. another reason i'm not particularly sanguine about president trump's politics after january 20th is that his message hasn't really adapted at all. when he got elected in 2016, it wasn't just on the power of his personality. he had an agenda, trade, antiglobalization, immigration. now he stand for trump onl

george wallace may be gone but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas andeful demonstrators. gerry: so, sheriff, this, right now president trump, president obama is criticizing democrats for saying defund the police but just recently he was comparing current police officers to the days of bull connor of 50 years ago when there was very clearly police -- what do you make of this change of heart on behalf of president obama? >> i believe those comments at the funeral were irresponsible and quite honestly dangerous to law enforcement and the american people. now his comments about this snappy slogan i agree with him. i think the slogan is bad. it is bad taste and also dangerous but what is even more alarming is the policy behind the slogan. you want to actually defund police across america? i mean any day you can wake up and read a newspaper across this country specifically let's just use chicago as an example, and you are seeing a significant increase in violent crime specifically, homicides in chicago and other cities across the country. and it is irresponsi

that actually came to him after george wallace barred the door of the university of alabama and it was that night in fact that john kennedy gives the speech that introduces the civil rights act which would become the civil rights act of 1964 and that was legitimate. we talk about political things, politicians particularly today being political not only without any morality. in this case, ted kennedy said this in the speech that i just alluded to, my brother was the first, forget how he phrases it, the first to raise the moral issue here among presidents and he is accurate there and that john kennedy at that point, a man who was devoutly political in his entire career was not a saint, not a great idealist. he was a pragmatist. that night he became an idealist. that night in 1963 and he realized and he said there's not a great deal to gain from this politically, not for a democrat who is trying to win the south which is almost necessary to win the presidency as kennedy had done in his 1960 race but kennedy felt this was a time to put politics aside because there was a moral issue and whe

you had george wallace in there.verybody was concerned about the electoral college then, but 1968 and therough transition of power. we did not have to go through all of this mess because he got this many votes or so many votes because the president -- i , but iremember who remember george wallace, three guys running for president. it is kind of ridiculous to isnk what is going on now going to control the future because these guys are trying to make some money off of people. i'm not going to say anything bad about anybody, you know? buttheir affiliation is, they have to understand that we work under the rule of law in the united states. ofs election has been a test the united states and their fragility, for one, whether they can be taken over by people who have strange ideas were different ideas. -- or different ideas. we have gone through this before. the first things that happened after the civil killed, isincoln was the vice president tried to and thee slavery congress had decided that they were going to make a law

radical past includes louis farrakhan, nation of islam, comparing israeli prime minister to george walla wallaceevil rubber-stamp, the green new deal, open borders. everything is free and taxes, taxes, more taxes,es packing the court and ending the filibuster. joining us now, we'll show the latest campaign ad, david perdue showing us what's at stake in thise election. >> we win the races in georgia so we don't have to negotiate. >> none negotiation? think about that. with jon ossoff, they get total control. we get police the funded, legal immigrants voting. private insurance taken away. military gutted. is that really what you want? >> sean: is that really what you want? georgia senator david perdue. i was shocked nobody showed up. he is supposed to be the most popular political figure of all time. >> sean, this is the second time joe biden has come down to georgia and not attracted ad crowd. came to warm springs before. look, we are on a 125 town tour of the state of georgia around small towns and we had bigger crowds than every single one of these stops and i mean small towns then he did today

also comparing israeli prime minister to george walla wallace.k schumer's far left agendas, the green new deal, open borders, yeah, everything is free and taxes, taxes, and more taxes. packing the court and ending the filibuster. joining us now, first we are going to show his latest campaign. we have david purdue showing us what's at stake in his latest election. >> we don't have to negotiate. >> no negotiation. think about that. they get total control. we get police. defunded. illegal immigrants, voting. your private health insurance taken away. is that really what you want? >> sean: is that really what you want? georgia senator, david purdue. i was shocked nobody showed up. he is supposed to be the most popular political figure of all-time. >> sean, this is the second time joe biden has come down to georgia and not attracted a crowd. he came once before and he came down this time. i mean look, we are on a 125 town tour of the state of georgia around small towns. we have had bigger crowds than every single one of these stops. and i mean small to

of the hurricane and to help their allies and to help turn the tides which ended when wallace surrendered to georgewashington. in that was a major turning point in the american revolution print is not the end of the american revolution a long shot but it helped to brief the beginning of the peace negotiations. i thought that was a great, this is fascinating to me to learn about that. this element of the american revolution. i knew nothing about that. jack: not typically what we read this. we write about the american revolution. the major role to the history is rarely if ever mentioned. and you have described this weather. weather and more. it. eric: one of the things that i look at is the weather as you said is major. if you look at each individual parking, not just the ones that i talked about in the book. they have a massive impact on the region, the local history. however, that in fact as ripples they go out well beyond the area landfall for unit and although i did it in my book, as an economist, you can go back and gather data on all of the hurricanes in the modern era. from the late 18 hundred

had no overwhelming desire to pass civil rights legislation but that actually came to him after george wallace barred the door in alabama and that john kenne gives the speech that basically introduces the civil rights act of 64 and that was legitimate. talk about political things and politicians today political arod that morality. but in thi case, and ted kennedy sai this in the speech, my brother come i forget exactly how but the first to raise the moral issue here amongresidents. and he is accurate.
