Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 10. 2016
- One of The Atlantic’s hundred most influential figures in human history, Nader has been instrumental in the founding of scores of citizens groups as well as in the establishment of watchdog agencies including OSHA and the EPA. In dozens of books since his 1965 Unsafe at Any Speed, Nader has worked to educate and empower consumers. His latest call to action is an inspiring look at American citizens who have organized and waged successful fights against big business and corporate privilege; in this election year, Nader reminds readers how crucial and powerful democracy is.

Ralph Nader is an American Treasure and a hero!
Ralph cuts straight through everybody's shit! He is the only hope the United States has to be saved from corporate destruction (of the planet). Ralph Nader for president! Love you Ralph!
" A 1000 word essay on your civic responsibilities, can you do it "?
Ralph Nader doesn't abandon individualism for group think. Instead, he credits individual creativity as the basis for communal success.
Ralph Nader is the real deal.
National treasure...Ralph Nader! What a HUMAN ~
Ralph Nader has never, ever stopped fighting for us, the 99%, Working people, We, The People. Thank you, Ralph, for showing us what integrity and justice really look like! Thanks for your life-long dedication to being our advocate. You've save our lives, you've educated us. You've shown us what greatness looks like.
Saint Ralph
Ralph Nader is the greatest, most honest critic of the perversion of CORPORATE AMERICA AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS, THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
If, only every high school student taking their required senior political class could see this..
I'm writing a memoir and have included a Thank You , Mr. Ralph Nader in the story line.
Mr. Nader, I thank you for your efforts to educate and motivate people. God bless you. Please 🙏❤️ keep it up!!
Years before he ran for office I heard him speak at my college and he was sooooo inspiring. Wish he had been POTUS !
Nader is Thee Best
Dems did EVERYTHING to destroy his chances for pres. He represents all they pretend to be but never are.
+inspired14U Repubs too
+inspired14U Then made up lies that it was Nader's fault the G W Bush got elected ! What a**holes! and, a lot of Dems still believe that lie/propaganda! - idiots.
ignorecorporatenews just like the dumbshit who complains about Trump during the Q&A session, he'll probably blame the loss of Clinton on Jill Stein voters.
Very informative lecture and what to do.
I'm pretty psyched to start reading his books and start working on effective activism. I've already worked with a small group that protected an environmentally and culturally important area from mining interests twice. I can't wait to see what we can do with more ideas. I'm gonna hold workshops and turn out vast armies of little Ralph Naders!
Im glad to hear that man. Let us know how you get on. Good luck.
Ralph Nader should be up for sainthood. And He should have a great many more views.
I've been referring to him as Saint Ralph for years..... :)
Great talk. I consider Ralph Nader as the greatest American.
So what ? Nobody listens. Or those who listen do not have any power to make any changes.
@@CaliforniaGirl-qk5kq The most important person listens quite sincerely, actually. The most important person by the parameters I consider most important, at least.
Me.
Him and Noam Chomsky
@@ashwinisarah and Chris Hedges, Yanis Varouffakis, Yuhal Navari, and more, but people need to start organizing more and come togheter and use the knowledge they have and rebel.
That high-school girl gave me life. I love seeing the younger generation asking questions and taking their power back.
Five years and this hasn't crossed 1k likes? We are truly doomed. If this isn't common sense by now count humanity as officially over.
What a brilliant talk. Feeling so motivated.
Ralph Nader, a great teacher how to use our intelligence properly rather than using it like a programmed robot we have become over the last 50 years.
"Every major religion has warned its adherents not to give too much power to the merchant class". Ralph Nadar 15:35
Kinda like saying the economy should be protected/regulated from rent seekers (ie. bankers, monopolies and landlords) in a secular society.
great talk.
An American icon. A big thank you to a great man
The system keeps us all busy to death working to pay bills and never get ahead. Never have time to develop ourselves in any way, participate in the political system, heck, no time for our children and animals. And this is coming from someone who doesn't shop, have expensive hobbies, toys, vacations, or clothes and jewelry. Trying to pay for monthly rent and utilites, keeping two older cars on the road with regular issues, and dealing with surprises-my wife can't see anymore and needs glasses, I need a dentist, something needs replacing. Must work all the time to keep up. I wish I was a little smarter. I want to be politically active and do my part. I'm just spent financially and physically.
Tim M None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are Free...
The Men the American People admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars and criminals; the Men they detest most are those who try to tell them the Truth...
The only difference between the Corporate (R)REPS and (D)DEMS is the velocity with which their knees hit the floor when Corporations, the Military Industrial Complex, the Lobbyists, and AIPAC knock at the proverbial door.
To learn who rules over You, look at who you're not supposed to critcize...
Any American honest with themselves has to ask, How does One entrust the solutions to the underlying problems confronting the United States to those who are complicit in their creation?!
turn off the televison and you will find time. you had opportunity for civic life by commenting on this blog, but chose to complain instead.
Just smile, knowing your exhaustion,and outright anger, at this inequity and cruelty will come to an end eventually...wish I could promise in your life and mine but I cant. I too share in the feeling of wanting to retreat into perpetual peace
Mr Ralph you are the best you really ❤ love America and a american.
So Important Today!
NADER for President
Amen
I love how he brings up all this little-known information like Robert's Rules, the foreign govts. taking our minerals, airwaves, etc. I also love how he always has the same tie and shirt, subtle sense of humor!
how is your civic life? I like that idea- nader has some good points.
Ralph Nader for President
Brilliant statement by Mr. Nader " One party is getting worse ,because the other party is getting less worse. So true!!!!!
Senator Byrd, God bless his soul.........called on a empty congress, "where is the debate" ! Kucinach vever got to debate, nor you ! We love Ralph !
Great man inspired by a Higher Power!!!
AMERICA'S hero
Its very hard to ginfAmerican hero anymore. I really respect Ralph Nadar as much more than hero.
Thank you for caring and knowing how to fix it 😃😃
Ralph for president.
An american hero
When he reads a hate letter against himself from an audience member written on location right before his speech ( clearly it’s the girl who goes on to hide her head for at least 10 min after 🤣) that blames 3rd party votes for Bush..ie the so called spoiler effect, he disputes and breaks down the b.s. It was beautiful . ❤️
I hope she was considering what he said instead of diving back into an echo chamber of "he cost us the election".
Can we stream so showing up is more accessible. Now streaming is accepted due to the pandemic and I think it could make showing up more accessible for working people.
Donald Trump didn’t know a word and he said his gut would tell him what to do. And his gut vomited
Exactly sir. it's History
Our mighty oak

1:10 of course the press isnt interested, it has much more important things in the papers- sports, stock market, comics, you get the picture- the media is sensationalism, not an avenue to inform or to benefit anybody.
16:53 “The parties (Dem/Rep) are indentured to commercial interests…”
yah
Please consult
Mr. Gerald Home
????????
These comments regarding the NRA are fully disingenuous! The congressman vote in ways that they say that they do not agree with, but in ways that their constituents demand.
dont be dum. the congressmen have no interest in what we want. but Nadder is deceived. follow the money.
I enjoying attacking modes of constitutional interpretation and is there is any truth at all in interpretation or rather should the constitution mean what it says.
Bernie Sanders in the Tree of Life synagogue
WHERE??
WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!
lady by the book rack on her cel phone could not write a 1000 page report on anything.
The problem is not the corruption in congress or corporations; even if saving Democracy, our nation, planet earth and humanity from extinction was reduced to a simple 60 second task and click of a button voters still won't lift a finger. Their dysfunctional apathy has become pandemic.
❣️❣️❣️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💔💔🙏👑🎅🤶💋💢🦌💫💫💫💫
the money of the gold is what matters, but not the environment?
Bernie Sanders and Our Revolution
Bernie Sanders has been in swamps and in non-poisonous snakes and in mudslides and the Tree of Life synagogue
And sadly WALL STREET OBAMA and the DNC knee capped him and sadly Bernie made it too easy for them to do so.
Should have been called, breaking bad
Is that Alan Alda?
11:14
Its not pleasure its survival from the bioweapon sprayed over me two years in August I can't handle the biting , itching, and migrating looking for relief
poiirie
Too bad we didn't have real domocracy so he could have been our president. Or Bernie.
Long term communist
Red-baiting.
they are on their backs? and nader believes that? it couldn't be the money now could it? come on nader, are you really that gullible?
nobody cares ,we lost ...
I think it proves that more and more people do care. They cared enough to not vote for Hillary. They're starting to care, although a lot are starting to care about the wrong things.
Its over Mr. Ben Dover
Q is your dream come true!
QAnon sucks.
I like Nader but I hate him for taking votes away from Dems and giving us Bush.
Even though Ralph Nader isn't responsible for George Bush Jr. Albert Gore cost himself votes by virtue of being a terrible candidate. Dude couldn't even win his homestate of TN.
But, he did not. Propaganda.
so this was the guy who handed bush the presidency.
Even though Ralph Nader didn't hand George W. Bush the presidency in 2000.
Humans don't get any better! Ralph Nader is it!
