george m wallace has been instrumental in this development development. denver technological center comprises of 870 acres and in being developed become a city. within a city it will be completely planned and integrated business residential, commercial, industrial complex within what we know as the front range of colorado stretching from fort collins, illinois to roughly colorado springs on the south. george m wallace believes there are two factors which have made this new community successful communication and transportation, particularly air transportation. what you see here is one of three communicate centers. this facility to handle our business activities. i know the fact that all they do right turn up up to do their work they are we have mining operations in utah, arizona and new mexico, operating properties. we have our real estate construction development. here in denver, we have aircraft flying between here and moab, utah. so the we base aircraft at arapahoe county airport, the of the arapahoe county airport up often in connection with the denver

he knows that the people who really will go for him are those george wallace types. the kind of people for whom they never head mainstream politician or at least not for a long time. st. a quiet part out loud like this. so they're very galvanized by him because they choose to believe and this kind of horrendous rhetoric. and then i think the other is that he's just trying to get those outright news cycles going again. because he wrote them quicker in 2016. i'm not sure, even if he could get them come, they would work for him now. because he's been doing this for so long. but i do think that, inadvertent or advertisement -- >> i think, s.e., the question i have is how does this help donald trump when and places like the suburbs of philadelphia? or in michigan? or in wisconsin? and michigan, you have an arab american community that is upset with joe biden over israel and they hear donald trump at there on the campaign trail and immigrants are poisoning the blood of the united states. i mean, obviously, how does this work for him? how does he win back the voters who lef

look at george wallace, ralph nader, ross perot, they didn't go on to win a single state. >> well, rememberrot at one point was at 30%. that was in the summer. we have until august actually to pull out, early august, if we decide not to run with the ticket that's in place. so we're months ahead of where perot was. perot got on all 50 states and got up to 30%. >> he didn't win any of them. >> i know, remember, he pulled out. but it's different. 30 years is different. you didn't have -- i was with president bush when ross perot actually called to say he was going to run. we know that in fact we can win some states. and we would be in it to win it. we have a long time here. but the american public is frankly disgusted with what they see today. >> in it to win it, fred upton, former republican congressman, thanks very much for being with us. merry christmas. >> you, too. >> talk to you soon. >>> well, new warnings this morning along the u.s./mexico border. local law enforcement sounding the alarm it does not have the manpower for the expected surge of migrants trekking as part of a caravan to t

america's biggest democrat-run cities through a racially segregated holiday bash that would have made george wallace. good thing they didn't call it a christmas party, right? that would be offensive. me? i'm still waiting on the muslim hanukkah. although you have to translate from the river to the sea into hebrew. but really, menorah? that sounds sexist. i'm sticking to my white's only kwanzaa bash. steve doocy is making his favorite gum bow and it goes great with crackers. yeah. but right after the invite went out the aide who sent it quickly realized her error and followed up with this i did send that to everyone by accident and i apologize if my e-mail may have offended or come across as so. sorry for any confusion this may have caused. you notice she doesn't apologize for shunning people for their skin color. there's no apology for that blatant racism. she's just sorry the evil white people found out. she made bigotry sound leak a clerical error. don't you love how it's always sorry for any confusion? sorry, there's no confusion for this [bleep]. for anyone with a brain the racism was easier to

he was 22 years old in 1968, but his family was in queens, george wallace ran as a segregationist, got at one point during the fall of 1968 25% of americans with his racist and segregationist rhetoric. but most of all ali, no president no major candidate for president in the last hundred years has ever spoken the way that donald trump did in the last few days, talking about poisoning the blood. another occasions talking about vermin. this is something that separates him from all of american history in the last hundred years at least presidential history. let's remember that and take it extremely seriously. >> i think that's an important. representative garcia, one of the things that michael and i have talked about in the past and others of talked about in the past, if it were only just donald trump would be one thing. i played it earlier. there are lots of opportunities that republicans are given in the house, on television shows to denounce this kind of conversation, to distance themselves from this conversation. at best, you'll get a don't pay attention to the language, or that's jus

i can remember george wallace. he won five states. votes in 1968. i was there to cover teddy roosevelt. you didn't know that about me. back then, he did better than the republican incumbent president, taft, at the time. so you know, got a fair number of pretty impressive votes here. i'm talking about 0 electoral votes back then, 4.1 million vote as cross six states. 27% of the vote. it's not too shabby. >> i noticed you didn't say any of those people won like they were all -- >> neil: you got me on that detail. who says that it's automatic that the third-party candidate or whomever takes votes away from the democrat? there was an argument with perot, in 92, and i don't know what the final reading was on that. you would. he took equally from president bush at the time. so there is where i'm a little confused. >> yeah, look, i think you're on to an interesting question. there's been reporting the trump campaign is worried about robert kennedy jr., whether he takes away votes from them. i think that as a guy that ran a presidential campa

we had populism back in 68 with george wallace. we had populism back in the 1930s with huey long. this is not new. we should not be shocked that this happens. this periodically happens in american history when the average person, the average guy feels he's gotten the shaft. she's gotten the shaft. it's hard to raise her family. it's hard to keep a job. it's hard to get ahead. you know, one of the things, if you study populist movements in american history is they tend to arise when there is great skepticism about the so-called elites. and that's a term that we hear thrown around quite a lot. you know, the elites and perception that the elites, whoever they are, are corrupt and that they're running this country to their own advantage. and not to the advantage or the interests of the average american. what do you think of those kinds of claims? do you think there is a kind of coterie of elites who are running things to their own interests, you know? well, historically, as you point out, populism happens when people feel that they are otherwise not being heard. and it becomes a popul

there when three civil rights worrs were killed in mississippi, we worth -- they were there when george wallace stood up, we've seen police throughout the course of history being used to keep us marginalized throughout the course of history. we can write a policy and change all of that. that's not going to hapn. here's what i would ask that you think about. when you go back to your respective communities, you want to transform your police department. you want your police dartment to be downsized so that police are responding to very specific certain kindof calls. number oneyou want mental health workers inside of your cities. you want people who deal with homelessness. more importantly than ything else, you let your elected officials locally off the hook. the reality of it is, if we don't change the policy in our community, better education, better hlth care, all of those social issues that we are aware of thateeps us in this place we are in this country, you are not going to chan policing solely by itself. you have to change t whole thing. we can write policy all day long. it's not going to ma

none of the winks and nods, just pure racism, which i think was sort of a throwback to george wallaceonly rely on that base. and that he needs those very occasional voters to come out. so i think his rhetoric is getting even more white nationalist. this is not normal stuff. really in america, we haven't seen this kind of thing since the '50s. >> you spent a the lot of time thinking about issues around the world. so the one thing that's important to raeltz realize, this isn't uniquely donald trump. nor is it unique around the world. it's being used in all sorts of countries. putin uses it about the ukrainians. how do you get away from it this? how do you campaign against it? most thinking democrats in this country don't want to get involved in this discussion. they don't want to talk about how immigrants not poioning the blood of the country pause we don't thinkst that's true. but what do you do when he put it is right out there and you've got to confront him? >> i think you have to engage -- you're right. this is a trend that is gleebl. tl an autocratic trend getting elected and tryin

since 1900, only five third-party candidates -- theodore roosevelt, thurman in 1948, george wallace in 1960 and john hoppes rated have -- have been a to capture one electoral. other candidates like ralph nader made an impact in the elections without winning and elect 12 the by siphoning voters away from mainstream candidates. there are third-party candidates out there but the concern is whether they will siphon from the major parties. should that be a concern? one of those candidates who will be running in 2024 is robert f. kennedy, jr.. he said he was dropping his democratic nomination to pursue an independent bid for the white house. i will bring you his announcement. here it is.

now, you don't have to look too hard to see the shameful similarities between george walz refuse -- wallace refusing 60 years ago to admit my late sister-in-law to the university of alabama in the wake of the brown v. board of education decision and today's refuse albie the state of alabama to grant all citizens basic voting rights and equal representation. despite these challenges, i'm confident that at the end of the day, alabamans will soon see a fair map. and alabama is just a preview, it's just a preview of what's to come. as a result of this landmark decision, many of our ongoing lawsuits, including all of our section 2 challenges, are moving forward with renewed momentum. in october, the court will hear our challenge against louisiana's map, which could lead to the creation of a second black opportunity district there. and keep in mind, black louisiana voters make up nearly 1/3 of the state's population. and basic fairness demands they have the power to influence the outcome in two of the six districts. 1/3. in georgia, trials concluded last week before a federal district court in ca
