Paul Jay, thanks for showing the Bernie/Wallace parallel----very perceptive.

Henry Wallace- a great man, and predecessor of Bernie Sanders!

Thanks for having Peter on. Much respect for Untold History of the US.

Oliver Stone's film made me aware of Wallace. Thank you for revisiting our history!!!

With Wallace in office, we would have not committed nuclear atrocities against the Japanese.

Break up this two party system!!!!!! Simple

Thanks for presenting this hidden history!

A shout out to Henry Wallace (1888-1965) from a lone voice in Sydney, Australia 21 March 2019.

The Untold History of the United States 100% progressive.

I'm Canadian, but suddenly I want to vote for Wallace.

My wife & I watched The Untold History of the US back in 2016. This interview is a replay, but remedial history is a good thing. Thanks.

Wow, Wallace’s words back then can fit right into today’s corporate Democrats in the DNC.

Just simply amazing!

The meaning of the word "Democrat" needs to be debated....Wallace was the 40's Bernie Sanders

One thumbs-down... clearly one of the billionaires didn't approve of the content. But this shows you how democracy should work. One person, one click (vote). That's not what we have, and that's where all our problems come from.

Really good show, thanks

My father was a Wallace organizer in Pittsburgh in 1948.

Thank you for reminding the nation!!!

Seriously: great snippet from FDR!

Can you imagine where we would be now with Wallace instead of Truman ? Entirely different U. S. For sure

What a tragedy. Imagine what the world today if America had actually become the America it was once imagined to be.

Characters with authenticity and principles. Roosevelt was going to decline the nomination if they wouldn't give him Wallace!? Just think of that for a second...I think people are craving for this kind of authenticity.

I can believe how good this network is!

Wallace was an angel. Check him out - it's feel good info. THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES is a great documentary on netflix.

These Paul Jay Reality Asserts itself segments are so comfy.

Untold History of the US is really good. Especially their bit about the Dems cock-blocking Wallace! Really fantastic journalism/historical accounting.

Oh, I had learned a little about Wallace, but I didn't realize he was _radical_ radical. Anti imperialist and in favor of working with the USSR? Incredible

Actually FDR-Wallace, Eisenhower, JFK built modern America it ended at the assassination of Kennedy, America has never recovered since.

Thank Frances Perkins the first woman Labor Secretary who devised the labor progress and was tenacious with FDR to get them enacted. She was on the streets seeing first hand what was needed but male historians ignored her huge heroic contribution. Wallace was the other!

Man, I was telling people about Wallace all through the 2016 primary, trying to get them to realize that this country wasn't always the war mongering elite controlled single party nightmare it has become; and how Bernie was trying to bring us back to a semblance of sanity. But hey, I live in a suburb of New Orleans. Campaigning for Bernie here was pretty weird, and the march we did got some really strange looks. When people choose to be ignorant, they often do a bang up job of it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7JgjLqav7uqZo0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMdlirim0tqwYX0.html

I can highly recommend reading the book. I found it quite an eye opener and Stones story telling talent make it a real page turner.

Truman was a sniveling little weener. Let's not lose Bernie like they lost Wallace.

If "The Untold History" became a standard text for U.S. students a generation of Americans would perhaps be educated - really educated, in the classical sense - to think for itself and to question the received wisdom that dulls thinking and retards the urge toward genuine progress. This of course will never happen. No politician, of either party, wants an educated polity that will ask questions.

One of the saddest things about the last 70+ years is that our government has entirely squandered the power and influence America had after WW2. Instead of exploiting that potential to permanently change the world for the better, as Wallace would no doubt have done, Truman and his successors opted instead for the base goal of expanding US empire by misusing our military might - a goal that history shows can only result in ephemeral success, and which will consign America to the dustbin of history, as happened with the British Empire and all the expansionist military empires that came before. 200 years from now, if we can ever drag ourselves back from the brink of climate catastrophe and endless war, people will look back on this era as (at best) an embarrassment.

Thank you. Good video.

I still mourn McGovern.

H Wallace was badass!!

What a kinder world we would've had.

In 1968 two candidates, Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy, won ALL of the ''Democratic'' primaries. Kennedy, of course, was conveniently ''eliminated,'' leaving McCarthy the legitimate heir apparent of the nomination. Yet at the convention, the party somehow declared Lyndon Jognson's Vice President and yes man, Hubert Humphrey, who hadn't ENTERED any primaries, their candidate. Then both parties in obvious collaboration announced the main issue of the campaign was ''law and order,'' while the US ''intervention'' in Vietnam continued to escalate. So much for the primaries and the Presidential election.

Thank you so much for bringing Henry Wallace into the 21st century. This man was so far ahead of his time. If Wallace had been VP in 1945 - he would have become president and who knows how that would have changed history. I can't vote for Dems or republicans. Sometimes Democratic on a local level like Ilhan Omar or our Governor Walz.

Wow! Enlightening. It brings into context what has been going on for 70+ years in the DNC. I hope people in the US are fed up, like I am, of corruption and corporatization of party politics. We need people like Bernie and Tulsi, now more than ever!

Can't we elect a decent politician for once? I guess it will not happen, but I can still hope Bernie wins.

The problem is the lack of civics education. Americans aren't being taught the basic facts of why right policies are NEVER supposed to be implemented in a democracy or why right-wingers are supposed to be kept out of positions of power in a democracy.

I learned of Wallace through Netflix documentary

I saw Wallace and had to click. May I suggest "The untold history of the United States" . It brilliantly explains political history in America and show where the real power lies. Oliver Stone.

Wallace's Progression Party Agriculture platform was for the small independent farmer. They had agricultural parity and not the commodified wall street dominated system that we deal with today given to us and supported by the duopoly. Read it in Gideon's Army by Curtis D. MacDougall. The Greens like me have supported a greater presence of unions in corporate governance but to get there we need Constitutional change. www.movetoamend.org

You guys need a new Party, plain and simple. Anyone who is not American can see it clearly. If you couldn't get Wallace in 1940s what makes you think you will get Bernie today?

Obama when he went off public funding and took the appointment letter from Citi 😓

Bernie Sanders would rated be a centrist moderate in Europe

🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💯

If Tulsi or Bernie don't win the Democratic Presidential nomination then a second term for Trump. Stand with me.

I wish Scott Wallace was more closely aligned with Henry/Bernie

2:18 Henry Wallace makes Bernie Sanders look like a centrist moderate 😉😄

1848 revolution in Germany wasn't really a revolution. The real revolutionary attempt was 1918's Novemberrevolution

The petitioning to get a new party or an independent presidential candidate on the ballot could be done for 1% of what Sanders raised for one doomed primary campaign. An outsider presidential candidacy could win if it is strong enough to get pluralities in enough states to get an electoral vote majority. In my view a winning combination would be anti-interventionism, economic remedialism, and defense of the entire Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment.

Two pro-war parties. I like Tulsi Gabbard, as I liked Dennis Kuinich. If more individuals send her a couple of dollars at least she can make the "debates". It could help Sanders if she's there and can give him her delegates....

Bernie 2020.

10:45 (correction, Mr. Kuznick) it's the top 26 people earn more than the bottom 3.7 billion (not 62 -- at least those are the figures I heard more than once). Thanks for the report

Wallace treated the Southern sharecroppers very poorly, completely freezing out the interracial Southern Tenant Farmer’s Union as a constituency. Relief that was supposed to go to sharecroppers was instead given to their landlords to distribute on behalf of the govt. They pocketed it. This was an appeasement to the Southern ruling class white supremecist economic structure. Other than that, Wallace was great (but too hesitant, not decisive)

PLEASE!! VOLUNTEER &SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT 2020

Absolutely, Americans would be three generations deep into a socialist society and China would never have become a leading destroyer of the planet's climate along with the Pentagon and the Russians. Vacationing in Cuba would have been a normal everyday experience with the family no matter how socialist they became Americans could drive from NY to Florida and get on a boat to Cuba, stay a while, come home with complete freedom of movement. Car culture would not be what it is today. The internal combustion engine would have had a short lifespan, until its replacement by a less volatile fossil fuel, a 100 miles to a gallon would have been the rule and alternative energy would have been developed 40 years ago. Congestion pricing for NYC would never be on the table in the Mayor's mind the traffic intolerance would have been solved way before it got to the point of causing asthma. Oil would have been eradicated as the main important commodity by around the time the Beatles became popular. Universal health care when Eisenhower wanted it and JFK would have lived to old age or died of Parkinson's. Coal miners in Kentucky, no more Black Lung. Vietnam would not have happened and education would have been made free for all citizens. McCarthy, Cohen, Trump, racism, sexism, class inequality would not have existed. Reagan would have died in California as a B actor. Instead of Obama as president Shirley Chisholm would have been the fist black female president in 1969. King and Malcolm would have lived to old age. The KKK would have been outlawed in the 1960's. The internet would have been already what it is now in the 1960's. Cancer, old age dementia, autism, ADHD, like polio eradicated in 1940 in the population. Pence and his evangelists would have been no more than a church and not in government. Elvis would have lived to old age as drugs and the drug war would never had happened. None of the central and South American dictators would have come into existence and all native Americans would have increased their numbers fully integrated into society instead of reservations. Finally, Einstein would have locked secret the atomic bomb formula and Oppenheimer would not have been the coordinator of the Manhattan Project, a whole generation of Japanese people would have not been incinerated by the Pentagon. Germany would never have been divided and Stalin would not have been the ultimate paranoid monster he became. NATO would never have been conceived. Henry Wallace was your man he would have made a totally different world than today. So yes, he would have spared America of all the things I mentioned.

I noticed that you didn't mention _anything_ about how influential Henry Wallace was _occultwise._ "Director Oliver Stone and Prof. Peter Kuznick, creators of series, "The Untold History of the United States," reserve special admiration for Franklin D. Roosevelt's Vice President, Henry A. Wallace (picture). Stone and Kuznick hold Wallace in high regard due to his opposition to Wall St. and support of labor unions, revealed during a discussion covered in a previous post. The series submits for viewer's consideration; if Wallace were still Vice President at time of Roosevelt's passing, use of the A-Bomb may have been avoided. True, Wallace seems forgotten as Stone and Kuznick mention, but there's more in man's background than revealed by series. It's time to get better acquainted with a truly pivotal occult figure! Terry Melanson summarizes, in 2001 article, "The All-Seeing Eye, The President, The Secretary and The Guru," how much occult influence Roosevelt and Wallace had on the United States: "In 1934, Secretary of Agriculture, soon-to-be Vice-President (1940-44) and 32nd degree freemason Henry Wallace submitted a proposal to the president to mint a coin depicting the seal's obverse and reverse. President Franklin D Roosevelt, also a 32nd degree freemason, liked the idea but opted to instead place it on the dollar bill. According to Henry Wallace, in a letter dated February 6, 1951, 'the Latin phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum impressed me as meaning the "New Deal" of the Ages'.” Wallace guru, Nicholas Roerich receives much of the credit, in occult circles, for placing Great Seal of the United States (picture) in everyone's hands as writer Melanson makes clear: "...occultists regard Roerich as the guiding hand behind the placement of America's Great Seal and the All-Seeing Eye, and matter-of-factly state that it was at Roerich's insistence that Wallace approach Roosevelt about finally printing the All-Seeing Eye on the dollar bill...both Wallace and Roerich were members of the Theosophical Society, this is how Wallace met his Master." Melanson concludes placing of Great Seal on dollar bill amounts to an Illuminati conspiracy: "These three 'wise men' - by placing the reverse of the Great Seal on the dollar bill - succeeded in announcing to the world that America is on 'the path', and is the world's best hope for the spiritual (occult) evolution of the planet. Considering how deep into the occult both Roosevelt and Wallace were already - and Wallace's connections to Theosophy - they had to of known that the most esteemed Theosophist of her time, Alice Bailey, had already declared that the Aquarian Age had begun in 1932. The whole symbology of the reverse is meant to be a mandala announcing this 'New Age of Horus.' They could not help but see the significance of this. And giving that *their fellow illuminists in the Federal Reserve had now taken control of America's currency,* it was a shoo-in." mediamonarchy.com/occultist-and-33rd-vice-president-henry/ Utopian in Power: Henry Wallace, Roerich, and the Sacred Union of the East Occult and spirituality aspirations of Henry Wallace, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture and then Vice-President. FDR's. Professor Andrei Znamenski explores the reason why Wallace supported a reckless project - a 1934-1935 "botanical expedition" with an occult spin to Eastern China (Manchuria and Inner Mongolia). To a surprise of his colleagues in the Department of Agriculture, Wallace appointed as the head of this expedition Russian emigre painter and occultist Nicholas Roerich. The latter used this as an opportunity to jump-start his utopian geopolitical project of the Sacred Union of the East - an attempt to bring all Tibetan Buddhist people of Inner Asia into a vast theocratic state that would become a spiritual beacon for the humanity. Although later Wallace did everything to distance himself from Roerich, in the early 1930s the future Vice-President was part of Roerich's esoteric circle, considered the painter his guru, received an esoteric name "Galahad," and was at least partially aware of the Roerich plan. In his correspondence, Wallace referred to the Sacred Union of the East project as the "Great Plan," the "New Country" and "Kansas." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7qAmbRjqrPJfKM.html

When was this interview originally held?

Damn Mr. Jay

FDR Little White House in Warm Springs Georgia a must visit; FDR new deal movement has been destroyed with the assinations of the 60's ?

Reminds me of Mel Brooks movie; "History of the world Pt. 1" Where Mel Brooks speaks to the Roman senate and essentially asks, I'm paraphrasing here - *_"We can vote and have enough money to care for the lower class and the poor....what say ye?"_* and the senate resoundingly with one voice shout - *_"FUCK THE POOR!!!!!!!"_*

How did Truman do in the exit polls? Any better than Clinton?

@The Real News Network : Paul, at 15:35 Peter's talking about Henry Wallace being "shoved aside", say, so that he wouldn't be nominated for running for the presidential election, the "leaders" of the party having undemocratically made Truman the nominee. Your respond to that by saying that you, TRNN, have another video about this history and you say it's below, but it definitely doesn't show up below; neither in the video frame, nor in the text description for this video. So, what is the video you're referring to in this video? I just tried a KZfaq search (in a separate tab) using "Truman" and "The Real News Network" for search terms, and I think to have possibly found the video: " *_Undoing the New Deal: Truman’s Cold War Buries Wallace and the Left (Pt 2)_* ", December 6, 2017, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7WSf7OQubK2p2g.html. If that's the one you're referring to, then the part 1 video was published on Dec. 4, 2017, " *_Undoing the New Deal: The 1944 Coup Against VP Henry Wallace_* " (22:50), kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7RmY82gsL2VZ2g.html. The latter one is clearly shorter by over 2 minutes more than the one of this page and the two also don't start the same way, so I guess that I'd still need you to tell us which video you're referring seconds following 15:35 in the video of this page.

Description should say this is from 2016

OK, Peter was referring to HRC campaign in present tense and the date here says today, 3/20/19. What gives??

Alas, pre-covid #BadAudioPandemic (:-(

Why is this old vid dated today?

I got Peter Kuznick to summarize the Cold War from 1944 to 1960 for me. The discussion can be found at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJOkZNShp7CVnmg.html or warscholar.org/?p=2408

I appreciate the comparisons of Wallace to Bernie, but this interview is from 2016. Bernie of 2016 is not the Bernie of 2019. I supported Bernie in 2016 and even travelled to the DNC convention in the summer of 2016 to voice my opposition to what the DNC did to Bernie and us. However, at this point in time, I can't in good faith continue my support for Bernie given his willingness to support intervention in Venezuela. His recent tweets about Venezuela show that he is echoing Establishment talking points that refer to the debunked "humanitarian aid" claims. I believe Bernie has the best chance amongst the candidates, but he needs to clarify his positions on supporting or not supporting coups led by the U.S. under the Trojan horse pre-text of so-called "humanitarian aid." He needs to listen to Tulsi Gabbard in this regard or he risks losing support from former supporters like myself.

Wow, what happened to Paul's beard? I miss it. It was very distinguished looking.

wallace was a theosophist like madame blavatsky, annie besant, and the varian brothers, who were members of the halcyon community in california and started silicon valley in the 30's after inventing the klystrom. theosophists believe in the atlantis culture and its mystery schools which possessed high technical knowledge from before the flood and whose survivors helped human survivors recover after the cataclysm 12,000 years ago in ancient summeria, egypt , india, etc. they also believe in the 7 hidden masters who work from behind the veil for the betterment of humanity. the evil forces that brought down wallace also killed numerous other people in their coup at this time and the results are obvious, starting with the nuclear bomb, cold war, korean war, preservation of nazis like dornberger, von braun, etc vietnam, and global take over of corporate fascism that we have today.

Labor only. Employers owners shall be excluded. They had their shot and blew it. They should step aside.

ENOUGH with reality asserting itself! Time for reality to timidly retreat into the background and silently sulk. ;-)

Burn E wood half 1

Truman was no enemy of the working class, do not get it wrong, but Henry Wallace was a champion who should have became President, or at least reinstalled as VP under Truman. But still, Sanders is no Wallace. Sanders is a revolutionary, more like FDR, rather than an ideologue who would be suppressed in history classes like Wallace.

Bernie would have won.

Why does Paul Jay keep cutting Peter Kuznick off mid-sentence? I can see doing it on occasion when the speaker is just rambling, but here, with such a compelling speaker, it just seems rude.

Why am I seeing this? This is old?

Wallace makes Sanders look like Ted Cruz

All the major democratic candidates support the green new deal, which the AFL-CIO has rejected. The party left the working class for crazy a long time ago.

Kuznick should get rid of that awful toupee. It's distracting because it totally does not work with his face.

Why do you act surprised Jay? Capitalism is the crisis! Jesus, can't ya say that?

It scares me that more people don't know this story. Also,the "new deal" was racist af! #reparations2020

Keep dreaming. There is no way Wallace 2020.
