He talks about his new book, “The Rebellious CEO: 12 Leaders Who Did It Right” and the death of his longtime colleague Dr. Sidney Wolfe who spent decades fighting the Food and Drug Administration and pharmaceutical industry and is credited with helping to force 28 dangerous medications off the market.

He does not sound like a 90 year old. . The ralph nader radio hour is a must every saturday morning
Ralph is a national treasure. It is sad we Americans could not elect him as president.
I agree.
Don't listen to Joshua Crook (AKA: Fan of Flix). He's a mindslave to the establishment and their talking points who is also an overall Partisan Hack.
@Sal
I have voted for him back in 2000 and many were telling me not to vote for him because my vote will go to Republicans. However, I admired him so much for his values and I told them, I will vote my conscience and I did despite his loss.
@@flixfan1 its ok cuz ralph doesnt hate you lol
Tell it to all the Iraqis that were bombed. I'm sure they'll really appreciate your conscience. @@faniarethas2716
Vote for Nader 2024
Happy Birthday Mr. Nader. I voted for you in 2000.
Much love and respect for Ralph Nader 🌺 all the best to you and your loved ones 🕊️
Ralph Nader is one of my greatest teachers and he is the last person that I voted for for president
Been a fan of his since the 1970's when I was in high school. I modeled much of my own activism by his example. It's great to hear him still going strong! I'm looking forward to reading his new book.
Sharp as whip, sounding strong. Take care Ralph.
rock over london! rock on chicago! wheaties. breakfast of champions!
Happy Birthday, Ralph Nader!! The world is a better place because of you.
Yes.
@@flixfan1 And yet even your favorite Albert Gore agrees that Ralph Nader is innocent of any wrong doing! Shows what an out of touch neoliberal centrist you are.
We love you Ralph.
Yes.
Same here! 🌺
It's always a pleasure to hear Ralph speak. He sounds Great for 90.
Thank you very much Mr Ralph Nader for your very hard work on your entire Life for for everyone all times ❤. ,
You are my Hero even I come back to Hungary.I told it to you in New York, when you made an important pech about the Rich people , You remind me every time when I sit in a taxi, and I explained them about the seat bell and your fights for us.
Thanks it again, and I wish you a wonderful birthday for the 90 at, with health. Marika from Hungary, Budapest.
Happy Birthday Ralph Nader Blessings.
90, wow, he looks fabulous! U go Ralph💪🏽Happy ,happy birthday, Ralph 🎉
Thank you for bringing Ralph Nader.
I will admit I was slow to realize what a great man Ralph Nader is .
When so many public figures are insincere , driven by ego and desire for money and fame one becomes cynical .
Time has proven there are exceptions .
Ralph has never stopped working in the right direction , and most impressively has never lost his sense of optimism and stubborn belief that each persons efforts matter .
He is an inspiration by words and example .
I hope there are more like him in our future because the world will need them to balance the
Types who seem to push to the front of the pack but misuse the position for personal gain .
Awesome tribute! Thank you for that.
Amy I don’t know why you don’t have more views, and there must be 3 of you for the amount of legwork you do, much appreciated.
Love Mr. Nader! He would have been a great president
Love Ralph Nader! Would love to know where to get his mom's cookbook!
Pushing 90 and still fighting the good fight. A tireless, relentless crusader for democracy and against corporate power and corporate crime. Would that the world had even 5 of him. I have tremendous respect for Ralph and will always make time for his words. Thank you for bringing him on.
Very Happy 90 at Birthday to you Mr Nader, my Hero from Budapest. Hungary!!!❤
Once again, thank you Ralph for speaking the truth when the establishment and their talking points do not like or want to hear it.
I love this channel. Amy, you are great . Thank you
i worked for A&P when they bought out some Kroger stores & so many things changed. a complete hiring freeze, wages cut, over-management, full-timers were cut to part time, paid vacation time cut, no new equipment, neglect of the sewer system. and rediculous things like they removed telephone boxes in the back room so it was harder to communicate with cashiers & customer service on things like price checks. they also increased security & had them watch the workers more diligently & set traps for us (enticing us to steal so they could fire us). they also distributed unusable boxcutters, so we would start buying our own & they didn’t have to supply frequently. worker moral was horrible. there was alot of bullying & anger & quitting/firing. the store eventually closed 7 years laters & all of those original Kroger owned stores closed too
As a dumb middle schooler, we were required to do a portfolio on one of the ‘08 presidential candidates. I selected Ralph because he was different from who everyone else were picking. I feel vindicated that I made the right choice accidentally knowing what I do now a decade and a half later. A true shame we didn’t have him as president.
Amy, one of your most heart touching programs, not discounting other great ones you've presented, but hearing from an American elder and treasure is a privilege. Thank you
Always wanted Ralph Nader for the President of the US...blessings to him...and the BLUE...
You still believe that the Democratic party is pure as the driven snow? Get real. The Democratic party takes in money from the same exploitative profiteers as the GOP. Same amount, same donors. All partisan differences arguments are manufactured for YOUR deception. Looks like your deception is working very well.
Absolutely 💯
Wow. The establishment and their talking points have brainwashed you heavily. @@flixfan1
Democracy would work exceedingly well if most of us were half as concerned for the public good as Ralph Nader.
@@flixfan1 Albert Gore shouldn't have distanced himself from William Jefferson Clinton in 2000.
Excellent, thank you!
Hell yeah!
Always welcomes Ralph nader opinions he is a man of integrity honesty and intelligence he would have been one the best president of the usa the world would be a much better place than what it is
Thank u democracy now
Love Ralph Nader! He would have been the best President. Unfortunately, big business never allowed that, all to the cost of the American people.
You do know that Ralph practically handed the presidency to Bush in 2000, right?
@@user-gu7lv9gk8m yes, I know, but I believe the people didn’t believe in him. The Dems and Reps were and are too corrupt to be in a leadership position. Thank you!
@@user-gu7lv9gk8m Even though Ralph Nader didn't hand the 2000 election to George W. Bush.
Salute 🫡 Ralph Nader! 90 and still fighting the good fight against corporate greed and Plutocracy! I would like to hear Ralph Nader view on reparations for descendants of American slavery 🤔 FBA 🇺🇲
It always work treat you workers right you gets better productivity...
Yes it is important to show that there are people that succeed with moral and ethical values. There can be sustainable, responsible, business models. More of the information from Mr. Nader's book to hold up when our young people are learning and shaping their ideas. Recently in college business courses a few students would choose to pursue these ideals. Sadly there were teachers/professors that undermined, criticized and hindered those few students. Change the mindset, change the world 😉
thanks amy and ralph for showing america how democratic values should be demonstrated...free speech, critical thinking, supporting OUR constitution are all hallmarks for which you both stand for ...we are grateful for your support of most americans values thank you both
He have my vote if he ran!!
Happy early birthday!
Ralph Nader is deeply beloved by the Canadian Social Democrat and or GREEN - Blessings Ralph!
💯
I love the “there are benevolent kings” arguments here! The problem is with corporations in their structure and not in their financing
Ralph is an American hero. Too few like him. The Uni-Party made sure he is sidelined, because they feared him.
The same people who continue to foolishly blame Ralph Nader for Bush are the same people who love Bush now.
That is an idiotic lie. I have met hundreds of Democrats that blamed Nader for bad-mouthing Gore in Florida in the three days before the election and taking 80,000 progressives votes from the world's most preeminent environmentalist and NOT ONE of them loves Bush. Naderites live in a demented fantasy-world. The greater of "two evils" in 2000 was the Iraq war.
@@flixfan1 And yet those Democrats have been deceived by the establishment and their talking points to resort to Scapegoating as well as Gaslighting. Even so, I've seen pictures of the Obamas chilling with W. There is no such thing as voter siphoning, either. Once again, your hero, Albert Gore cost himself votes because he was a mediocre at best candidate, and was hardly a progressive. Dude couldn't even win his homestate of TN. And once again, more FL Democrats voted for Bush than Gore or Nader combined that year. Plus, Gore picked a lousy running mate too. Also, I find it ironic that you are saying Naderites are living in a demented fantasy world, when you yourself are creating a reality where the Democrats are the good guys and everybody else is the enemy. If that's not hypocrisy right there, then I don't know what is.
I hope one day I can feel as satisfied as him by my life, activism and family. Helping the community be better is helping yourself and your family.
Amy Goodman & Ralph Nader you are both a national treasure. ❤
rock on ralph! Wheaties, breakfast of champs lol
Ralph isn’t mentioning Disney anywhere in that book haha. He has convinced me to read his new book, business owners should all read it. Dr Sidney Wolfe was an evidence based medicine trailblazer! A real doctor!
They took the advice, from giving comes wealth.
Why couldn't we have gotten him instead of Biden?😢
Would have loved to see Ralph in person! I've known and respected his work since I was a little kid! A long time ago! Great interview!
Sweat out of work Menir Ralph Nader ! Danke and good luck .ich Ashar S from .
Hes going to be 90 and hes so much sharper than Biden or Trump. Hes amazing. I love this man. When his life is complete, he can rest easy. He has given so much goodness to this troubled earth. Bless his integrity, wisdom, and good heart.
I would vote for Mr. Nader in a heart beat if he were run for President again. Where, oh where can we find someone with the moral compass and work ethic than anyone else in the political world.
@@flixfan1 Stop blaming Ralph Nader for George W. Bush and accept the fact that your favorite Albert Gore lost because he was a mediocre at best candidate.
Jill Stein For President 2024! Green Party for all other elected positions 2024! Same policy platform as Nader had the four times I voted for him.
happy b-day even tho it wont be til late nxt month
Happy 90th birthday!
Albert Gore shouldn't have distanced himself from William Jefferson Clinton in 2000 and he also should have picked Russ Feingold as his running mate. Not Joseph Lieberman.
Fuck yes, Ralph Nader! I'll have to read that latest book, but to be honest I'm not necessarily thrilled about the premise seeing as the problem is the system and not individual CEOs, though there are particularly bad ones. Our system exists in a way that benefits the most cutthroat capitalists. The decent ones get bought out or worse
I am so glad to know that Professor Chomsky does think of possibilities for positive change despite our huge divisions.
How many people in this world? My dream is 8 billion people buy and read both The Rebellious CEO and RNFCB. This Feb 27 that man deserves to be honored with a plack on the wall of our White House in honor of his lifelong devoted service to our country. But why bother with Trump stepping back into office turning that into a dart board. 🤣😿😭😭😭
❤
Oh my, wouldn't America be so much better if Ralph had become president. Some of the current business leaders are utterly disgusting in their open abuse and hate of their workers.
🎉🎉🎉❤
Love Ralph ❤️
Same.
👍👍👏👏👏👏👏😇

Trending
Trending
-PaulTeich-©️10/31/2023
When random acts of kindness are trending through the land
When kind becomes the magic word
And the thing we do is lend a hand
We won’t worship a bird of prey, but one of peace and love
When kindness is trending, instead of snuggies and skittles
Everyone will have homes
No one will be starving for vittles
There will be full bellies at dinner tables instead of bombs
If our minds move in the direction of our most dominant thought
Peace, love and kindness is, perhaps what we ought
Steering away from bread and circuses
Rather to help the needy with health and human services
Brothers and sisters we are all one
Separation is painful from the real and the unicorn
And it is surely not as much fun
As to live in a democracy, not in need of agrarian reform
We need to hunker down and learn to share
Poor people are not vulgar we need to learn to care
Thank you
I was really surprised that he brought Anita Roddick as an example. Especially considering the controversy of how she acquired The Body Shop brand name & identity from two independent women entrepreneurs in the US which seems to have involved some unscrupulous trickery. She also used to brag about spending time working in an Israeli Kibbutz (i.e. illegal settlements under international law built on stolen land) while simultaneously propping her brand as being socially & ethically conscious. Also she was hardly an "industry disruptor". A more legitimate beauty industry disruptor would have been someone like Paula Begoun who not only called out Anita Roddick back in the 90s in her popular books, but who actually went on to build her own brand on challenging the industry while creating a great place to work that also conducted its business ethically in ways that were truly unparalleled at the time.
👍☮️
He could have been the best president in last 20 years
I concur.
And that picture is just what he looks like.....at 90.
An excellent human example of age not impacting your message.
Biden vs. Trump vs. Nadar… I know who’s the most cognizant and he’s ths oldest?!
Love Ralph Nader
Absolutely!
No such thing as a moral billionaire/millionaire.

Very painful to hear Viet Nam's president warn Zelensky against using cluster munitions because 50 years after they were used there (by US), his people are still suffering the effects. So shameful for us.
Interesting soul duel future culture inheritance responsibility ethical practices

For President of the United States?
Does a good king validate feudalism? Does a good dictator validate totalitarianism?
Do a few good billionaires validate capitalism?
Just asking.
Interesting question. Hmm, would a good king, by creating new working conditions, invalidate serfdom?

Why has Ralph stopped showing his face?
Because he uses a landline. Ralph Nader is known to be a minimalist who does things old school. He actually practices what he preaches.
He doesn't even own a car. He's considered a saint. (He devoted his life to civic duty- never married- that's how loyal he is to the public- he could have easily though- check out his earlier photos💗)
@@habib-vq9fl Wow! I didn't know he was that extreme!
... And no Epstein.
It's a systemic problems, Mr. Nader. Individual saints are fuel for propaganda
Negative carbon. A load of bullshit. Who certifies that? Self appointed no doubt.
Glad you posted part 2 👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This channel is like Covid. I can't get rid of it.
And yet here you are anyway.
The goal of creating an independent Palestine with the elimination of Israel and securing a homeland where Palestinian migration and Sephora is welcomed and a place where Palestinians can all consider their home. That’s no different than what is disparagingly referred to as Zionism in a Jewish model. Hypocrisy.
The corvair was a great car Ralph.....
Thanks to Nader’s stupid obsession with airbags we have thousands of unnecessary injuries from them every year. Some quite serious
If you wear a seatbelt an airbag doesn’t make any difference in auto accident deaths or injuries
Okay Karen
@@DarrenReems right. Karen’s just hate Ralph Nader. Good come back
Nader is socialist lunatic. Thank God he didn’t a chance to destroy our country
Not sure where you are getting your information .
My son was in a high speed rollover accident earlier this year .
He broke his neck .
Luckily he lived and was not paralyzed .
But his initial treatment was a halo brace screwed into his skull to stabilize his neck as bone healed .
I learned from doctors and neurosurgeons that the type of break he had is most common in either older people ( falling )..
In younger people it is most frequently from car accidents but in the last twenty years this type of injury has plummeted because of air bags .
( my son was driving an old truck ).
There are all kinds of statistics about lives saved due to seat belts and airbags if you care for facts .
The problems with airbags are related to automakers using a low bid subcontractor for airbags who used ammonium nitrate as a propellent which is unstable and should not have been allowed .
That is the fault of automakers cutting corners in the interests of profits .
@@GardenerGeorge was he wearing his seatbelt? Airbags don’t help in rollovers anyway
@@GardenerGeorge again if you use a seatbelt you don’t need an airbag
National loser Ralph is, let's try a winner this election cycle, Cornel West '24'!
And what have you done? I assume nothing. So there.
Nader has always been unhinged
He's not.
Gopher, chewing a tea bag off his hat, scared of vaccines, buying dewormer at the feed store cuz his wrestling shill orange clown told him to.
Now says the brilliance of a good man who got seat belts in every car is "unhinged"?
Walk proud Mr. Nader. Your news appearance scares self alleged populists at 90.
Take any speech by Ralph Nader. Wherever you see the words “corporate executive” substitute them with the word “Jew”. You will then have a speech by Joseph Goebbels
Godwin's Law. Thread closed.
Ho hum. BORING! 👎
Wrong
Oh yeah, Nader - the guy who brought you the Iraq war and the 2008 financial crisis. Thanks for nothing
Scapegoating.
Btw, Democrats voted for the war too.
Oh you’re still talking about corporations instead of Jews? Reminds me of 1998
