Is this a legal thing (he's in California) or a policy thing? I can't get a clear answer.

The only reason a candidate should give a speech is if they are presenting to large groups of people.
Companies are to interview against what the job description is. If giving a speech is not part of the job, then it would be illegal to discriminate against the ability or not to give a speech.
Make sense?

I don't know what country you're in, but in most companies in North America potential candidates don't give speeches. They interview and answer questions and if they are hired generally they listen to the CEO's speeches or help write them.

The better question is why does he want them to give a speech.. to see their speaking ability and poise. That should be evident in how they respond to iinterview questions. In addition an applicants answers to these qustions may be more telling as they will be required to think on their feet as opposed to delivering a prepared speech.
