george wallace could not have said it better himself senator. it's almost impossible at this point to tell the difference between the racist rhetoric of the 1950s, segregationists and the self-styled antiracist of today. after the ruling, a new york city public school parent and cofounder of the advocacy group, asian wave alliance, she cheered the saying, saying, i told my daughter that today's a big day. they added affirmative action. is that we've always been fighting for, she asked? i said yes. and why would she celebrate? because prior to this decision, there was no group were subjected to discrimination in academics, then asian americans. according to data cited in this case, harvard applicants and top academic decile the top 10 percent, had different chances of admission depending on their race. 56 percent of black students in the top 10 percent, were admitted to harvard. 31 percent of hispanic students got in. only 15 percent of white students were admitted. and just 12.7 percent of asians in the top 10 percent, were admitted into harvard

the china trip in 1970, and it's something like, trump is very george wallace like.n. nixon created the epa. i don't want to rehabilitate richard nixon, but nixon did the right thing. he resigned. he recognized that if he stayed and fought impeachment it would destroy the republican party for a generation. it would do damage to the united states. there is no sign that nixon ever would have gone around willy-nilly showing people top security clearance documents like donald trump did, contingency plans for wars or anything like this. so nixon is the only person i know that is coming out better because of these recent applications this week. but remember, it wasn't just nixon's case. it was the racing of the tapes. rosemary, secretary, erased 13 and a half minutes and we saw donald trump trying to -- with videotape. >> the tapes is the theme. it's record richard nixon and, trump exact comparison for the reasons you outlined, you have compared trump, or said he fix fits into the american narrative of some outlaw folk heroes like billy the kid. lay that out for us. >> tru

remember the words coming out of the mouth of george wallace? it was the words of dr. king, too. dr. king kind of commenting on george wallace about interpretation and nullification. you remember that language? this is what this is. so, there's a sense in which you have in america, at least through the spoke, that there's two americus. on for them and one for the rest of us. the rest of us should simply shut up and be grateful while they do whatever the hell they want to do. so, this is a reflection, i think, of the battle that has been waged since the mid 20th century. and these folks are in full force at this moment, katie. we have to understand what they are fighting for. they're fighting for an america that is light, that is heteronormative, that is male. we can go down the line. and they're going to go to the mat for it, if necessary. >> eddie glock, junior, i hate when i run out of time. because i could just sit and warship, right? at the altar of the eddie glock, two here, because i learn so much every time. thank you, my friend, for join

that's more regressive thane even the thoughts of george wallace. in fact, thi s is morein fac reminiscent of the racist progressivest, of the earliest 20/20 century. back then, they traced a lineage. measur >> they measured skulls that counted drops of blood as to who is a, quote, person of color. >> and actually, this underliesr the entire conversation about affirmative action. >> who's eligiblsoe for lower standards due to race? what is race? who is black? who is white? how do you reduce someone, say, of mixed race to the appropriate check bodo you rx? this is the proposed pseudoscience of the modern dayu anti-racist and man, they would have fit in on leonardo dicapriold is plantation in django unchained. i mean, college campuses already look like segregationist jim crow with separate student unions and dorms and graduations for each race. how long befor ande they dive back into phrenology? >> for that matter, if the goal of affirmative action is diversity, what is diversity? ng befor dive define diversity.si is it 10ty, wh% black?divers it20% bl

never seen a third party be successful, last guy who got a single vote was ross peron the and george wallace 50 years ago. i think no labels is misguided in offering this potential a few months from now. >> trey: all right, i know that folks, the candidate, the public, they want to see former president trump on the debate stage in wisconsin. they really, really do. in candor, what does he have to gain? i hate to play the devil's advocate, everybody needs a lawyer whachl does he have to gain? he is already leading, why should he show up? >> kevin: i make the case, as i said earlier, he is effective debater. remember the debate stage in 2016, he undercut jeb bush and cut marco rubio out. you will have candidates gunning for him. chris sununu, who decided not to run for president or re-election, begged his folks to take on the former president to you have moo up in the polls. i think it is in the former president's best interest to be on the debate stage and take down ron desantis effectively on that stage and the former president loves when they are talking about him and engaged. i don't think

imagine george wallace to 100th tigre. it was that bad. lincoln said it was a really weird thing. he regarded himself as a pretty easy-going and mellow guy. despite that, the fact that i am not a particularly controversial person or that i don't court controversy is, first election to congress -- it had this really acidic tone. i think he really disliked it. quite by this point in time, the growth of the churches are increasing politicization. they very much involved religion. >> i think his spiritual journey was valid. but i'll think he became a standard evangelical christian. he is supporting church leaders and church organizations and bodies. he is the first president to court the evangelical vote. he understands the influence and it pays dividends. it sounds great. you can sort of get behind that in the sense that they want to win this war and eradicate slavery but it also sets an uncomfortable and maybe even an appropriate precedent because you had church leaders on the stump for lincoln. matthew simpson, one of the so-called were bishops in the methodist church, he gets this

historically, what he has done is something george wallace could not do.hat is run as a third party or major party candidate and expand your appeal broad enough to become a nominee or take over the party. if you listen to the speech where he announces he is running for president in late 1991, a few months ahead of the new hampshire primary, he challenges the incumbent republican president. his speech is very much like trumpism. he talks about japan in those days, today it would be china. net of the cold war is over, we have to start taking care of ourselves here. we do not need the overseas alliances, we are spending all this money to have troops overseas. he was also opposed to free-trade deals. we have 30 years of experience to say that some of what was warned did happen. trump was able to capitalize on some of that. also the cruel edge that trump has, you see some of that as well. host: john in arizona, independent. caller: this is an honor to speak with you, i listen to your podcast religiously, along with the way i heard it. guest: that is very nice o

many people voted not for george mcgovern, but for george wallace who issan thet cal to everything myble to bring people together and major way was by telling the truth and that is an extraordinary -- people want to hear the truth. a lot of republicans, as you know, are supporting me and i get note after note saying we don't believe everything you believe in, but we believe that you are telling us the truth and you will bring people together and that is what woo want. >> steve: you have gone viral with your message and just your sheer masculinity. those workout videos that are floating around. i mean, that -- what did that video teach you about the state of american politics in 2023? >> well, i want to point out on that particular video, that was my last set, i got a lot of -- [laughter] >> i got a lot of complaints, i'm glad for this opportunity to correct it. that caught me by surprise, there was guy who jumped up to spot me, who i had never seen before and i didn't know he had his friend taking pictures. >> steve: are you outside just -- >> >> ainsley: i thought you released this.

the first quote is from alabama segregationist governor george wallace. send from two liberal law professors at harvard and san francisco state university suggesting that on supreme court decisions like affirmative action the president should just ignore it and do what he wants to do. >> right, and they are not in the minority necessarily in terms of the attacks on the constitution. in fact, you'll find more faculty members closer to their position than you will conservatives or libertarians. this is a very common point of discussion among law professors. and it also happens tonight very definition of authoritarianism. what they are saying is president biden should be a law to himself, he should be the final arbitor of what the constitution means and they support him in pushing through measures without a vote of congress. well, what do you call that? it's not democracy. but these people cloak themselves as the champion of democracy. the two opinions they have most objected to, affirmative action and the loan forgiveness decisions, both are supported by a

it was george wallace 50 years ago. you know, there is a lot of talk about this potential third party bid, but i think no labels is really misguided in offering this potential in a few months from now. >> all right. i know that folks, the candidates, the public, they really want to see former president trump on the debate stage in wisconsin. they really really really do. in candor, what does he have to gain, though? i mean, i hate to play a devil's advocate, but everybody needs a lawyer, so what does he have to gain? he's already leading, so i will let you make the case, if he's watching you, kevin, why should he show up? >> well, if the former president is watching, you know, i make the case as i said earlier, he's a very effective debater. we remember the debate stage in 2016, where he really undercut jeb bush, took the wind out of his sails, really took on little marco rubio, cut him out, and i think you're going to have some of these candidates on that stage obviously gunning for him, as the front-runner, the curren

. >> what you're looking on the screen, george wallace who seeks two years ago this summer stood in frontd said no to black children going to good schools. here we are 60 years later and the democrats are doing exactly the same thing. they are not allowing kids to have vouchers and education savings accounts so kids in really poor districts could go to a school that works whether a catholic school or a jewish school were charter school. it is outrageous and last week the governor of pennsylvania who had campaigned on school choice for all children vetoed a bill because the unions put the noose around his neck and said you cannot do that. what's happening to put it simply is the democrats are siding with the teachers unions over black and hispanic kids in the last line of our ad, every child in america should have access to great education. stuart: we don't argue with that please. >> i know were out of time but i gotta say this, this is an economic issue. we cannot be the number one economy in the world if for graduating kids from school that cannot even read the diploma. stuart: well said

. >> george wallace got electoral points. >> they were looking for a racist, regional candidate.cent guy and a moderate. the problem for the biden people is biden won moderates by a margin of 30. 30, so, every vote a moderate gets, a manchin gets. >> i think that he is not going to be president, but, he has a better shot as being elected again in west virginia. he's not going to get west virginia's votes if he's the presidential candidate. i think, this is one of those things where the early polling will always show a third-party candidate, particularly someone who is a sitting senator, not some nobody as having a descent chance but we saw in 2016 when we had the most unpopular set of presidential candidates that we've ever had that a lot of that melts away in the end. so, i agree with paul, it's not going to be different this time. >> this concern, though, not just murkowski saying she would vote for manchin, i have to say, that is something that's echoed by voters that i've spoken to in recent months. this is a concern amongst democrats too, and it's a reason why when you have

this was an infamous moment in which george wallace stood and tried to block scenes from integratinghe university of alabama. and he did that in defiance of a court order. so, alabama has done this before. but they did not succeed then, and they -- >> so then, the new map is likely be rejected by the district court, that struck down alabama's first map. so, if that happens -- what happens next? >> i think that is right. so, first of all, although alabama is acting as -- they are not, this math is going to go back to the same district court that rejected their discriminatory map before. that court will then evaluate that. and we will be there to object to that map. and the court will likely have the option to appoint a special master who will, then come up with map that comports with the courts order. so, alabama will -- this is not the last word or the last step in this journey. >> you know, what is ldf ready to do to block republicans from denying black voters in alabama a chance and equal representation? >> listen, we are going to continue to fight, as we have for the past two year

i want to mention, we think of this incident made me think of governor george wallace standing in thef alabama to block ms. vivian malone's admission, but there was general henry graham who complied with president kennedy's order to federalize the troops and ordered governor wallace to stem aside. it was not an easy decision for general graham to make. there were things he stood to lose. he could have refused that. if he had done so, it would have led to even more civil unrest and probably a greater scale of violence. but he complied then. he complied with supervising the troops that provided protection for the freedom riders and for those who participated in the selma to montgomery march in 1964. that is the tradition i had hoped our legislators had leaned into. it's disappointing they didn't, but we have that tradition as advocates and as alabamans that we will continue to lean into to push our state in the right direction. >> and i will note that vivian malone was the sister-in-law of eric holder, and so he has a personal connection to it, just so people don't think this was ancien

the response was quote, the republican politicians who supported this would make george wallace proudoment, but errol, the fact this went to the supreme court, they said you've got to do this to represent the black population in your state. the state comes back, redraws it and only makes one majority black, makes the second district 40% black when they could have just complied with the law. >> yes. >> speak to the why, and will this stand up? >> well, the why is that opposition to black empowerment is kind of the core of conservative politics in alabama. it has been for, you know, a century now, so this going to sort of go to a trial and they have the right to do this. they can go to trial and they can sort of play the whole thing out and lose all over again because when the supreme court issues its orders, the determinations basically say, this goes back to a lower court for outcomes that are not inconsistent can what we found. they have every right to go and play the whole thing out, lose all over again, and then have some further court action. it's also important to note that you d

no third party candidate has won single state since 1968 when george wallace ran as a racist.their donors are. their secret, they raise money in unlimited amounts, and so they're not playing on the same playing field as political parties. there have to say who the donors are or raise money under the federal limits. in the third thing is that they have not said how they are going to choose their candidate. the democrats and republicans have primaries in the voters to their candidates are. apparently, no labels it's going to do it in some kind of back ring. they will have a convention they say the april, but that would just be a coronation. and so they cannot have this title being the democrats here. they are the ones who are threatening to reelect donald trump and really put american democracy at great peril. >> matt bin of third way, thank you very much for coming to the saturday show. >> thank you. >> coming up, the latest on the race for 2024. republican hopefuls flock to iowa as president biden breaks in the campaign cash. former new york congresswoman's susan molinari join

campaign when former vice president nixon was running against vice president humphrey and governor george wallace from alabama. the environment was really not on anybody's radar screen. the vice president humphrey during that campaign. he dedicated a park and a dam. mr. nixon gave one radio address on the environment which was actually titled natural resources. it was an interesting address but to paraphrase lincoln it would have it would have been little noted more long remembered and in fact it took me some research to dig it up, but what's interesting about that address is that it foreshadowed in a way a lot of the things that he wanted to accomplish for the environment during his presidency including he the address had 12. the radio address had 12 different points and it included finding a way to combine the federal government's very different and disparate and spread out activities that concern the environment into one agency and also talked about wildlife preservation water and land preservation. an air cleaning and all and all of those sorts of things. so it was kind of a foreshadowing if

the two political parties, which some independent candidates like prospero did, but others like george wallaceid not should think again about that assumption. because i don't think it is correct. i don't think it's likely to be correct if a ticket goes forward. host: then there's the issue of getting that ticket on the ballot, not only statewide but national in the process of doing that is it too difficult for a third-party to enter into this? guest: it is not too difficult. as a matter affected to expect that if no labels perseveres it would end up on nearly all, if not all the state ballots. i say that in part because of my experience in the anderson campaign more than four decades ago, we had much less money than the labels does and not as good an organization but we ended up on all 50 state ballots. not only that, in the process of getting on all the state ballots we overturned a number of restricted laws designed to tilt the playing field against ballot access for third-party and independent candidates and many of those legal changes have persisted to this day. so no labels should have an
