But the two that really shape american politics were the 1968 and 1972 campaigns. First thing id like to show you is governor wallaces inaugural address. This is his first inaugural address that he presented on january 14th, 1963. So this is the moment where we really see his first stance as sort of a hardline segregationist, and where we start to see this rhetoric that is going to make him a notable figure, not only in alabama politics, but in National Politics. Elections in d. C. Is disgusting and revealing. We will not sacrifice our children to any such School System and you can write that down. So when we look at George Wallaces 1958 inaugural campaign, we actually see a really interesting shift that happens after 1958. So in 1958, he runs for governor against john patterson. And in his first gubernatorial election, George Wallace actually runs as a racial moderate.

Armies whose idea time has come. It was. The chamber was absolutely jammed. The gallery filled, standing room only, no staff allowed on the floor. Just 100 senators. As the vote proceeded, it was silent like a tomb, and when John Williams of delaware cast the deciding vote, everyone, there was a corporate exhaling of breath. It was so tense that everybody literally held their breath until that last vote was counted, and in a blink, Richard Russell was on his feet demanding to know what the hell wed do next. Just to think about it, you know how hard it is to get 60 for todays senate, this was 67, which was a much higher bar, and there was clearly a block of people who were against it, and it was one by one, president Lyndon Johnson got a few, and one i remember writing about was jack miller, the other senator from iowa, i think it was dubuque, and there was an archbishop who called him saying if you dont vote for cloture, well excommunicate you. I mean this was really today, Martin Luth
