- Consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader spoke with Democracy Now host Amy Goodman at 92Y on June 6, 2013. In this clip, Nader gives his frank assessment on the lack of progress on a minimum wage increase, as well as a strong criticism of President Obama.
On lack of results for a minimum wage increase, Nader reiterated a question he previously posed to Amy about the President, asking, "Has there ever been a bigger con man in the White House?"
He added:
"The one ingredient you want when you vote for somebody...it's their moral courage and the fire in the belly. That's what makes all the difference in the world."
Do you agree with Nader's criticism of the President? Comment below.
In the late 60's Nader was considered to be the 4th most influential person in the United States and now he's almost invisible. Does that tell you anything about corporate propaganda and control?
Ya, why don't we like things from the sixties anymore? Bring back mass smoking on busses, too!
@@whatdoiput807 Ya, lets bring back driving without airbags
@@_hvman_ hell ya with the coffee-table glass windshields. I'm all for it.
He should be invisible. He is a worthless piece of trash. In the 60's he was influential with consumer products. That is his area of expertise. He knows nothing else.
The 40-50 old slow Corporate State Coup that began with the Chamber of Commerce Powell Memo Excess of Democracy
Nader is right as usual.
Ralph Nader being Ralph Nader. Tell it like it is brother. Tell it like it is.
Love this guy. More like him are needed. And more journalists like Amy Goodman too.
Moral courage and fire in the belly. Damn, we need some of that right now.
o-bomb-a: from "hope and change" to "bought and paid for"
He was just there to pave the way for Hillary,A Black,then a woman....DNC logic!
Thank you for sharing! Ralph is awesome!
This is the only man I ever voted for twice for the presidency,and voted for proudly!

I remember when Ralph was the man looking out for Americans
Still is, looks like
He was sanders before sanders
What he said at the end really got me. Basically you need someone with a fire in the belly no matter what his/her politics are.
Nader is a true American
Seven years ago and naders finger was on the pulse.
Affirmative! 👋🏿
Economist may not agree that raising the minimum wage would be a good idea but they do agree that when consumer incomes increase, the economy grows due to consumption. When you look at inflation, raising the minimum wage to $10 is not going to hurt the economy since it matched inflation in the first place. Wages have increased but not real living wages.
You know, I was coming to this expecting to be upset because I assumed he would say something I'd disagree with but he is absolutely correct and this is something I've been criticizing Obama on despite defending him against the ridiculous claims most Conservatives have been trying to pin down on him.
He's not as bad as most conservatives make him look but that can't stop us from pointing out just where he truly is fucking up.
You can't confuse people like Patrick Humphreys with demonstrable facts, they'll just lash out with utter nonsense.
rsr789 You are confused
Oh Bummer!
I'm sure he'll be weeping all the was to his estate in Martha's Vineyard.
aoc or bernie should get this.
@ Patrick Humphreys -
Wrong, Patrick.
Domination of government by big corporations and Big Money is what's deplorable. You have it exactly backwards.
I roll centrist-left. I wish my far right friends who delusionally call me librull would hear things like this or anything from Amy Goodman to get a lot more perspective.
Mundo correcto.
When right-wing plankton describe him as a socialist or worse, I mention to them the fact that many 'real' lefties don't even consider him a Democrat. These conversations are often followed by a burning odor and puffs of smoke out of their ears.
Mike Roby right wing plankton 😭😭
I like the way madam Goodman looks in that chair.
Darn....Im sure health care cost are going to GO DOWN soon as long as mean ol Bernie stops trying for UHC. RIGHT????
He could save America if they would only let him...rich and poor.
ya, they should be embracing this sort of thing.
This the dude that play on The Simpsons😂
What the hell is he talking about? $10.50 keeps up with inflation?! That’s laughable. This was 8 years ago? A couple who each earn 10.50/hour couldn’t afford to qualify for a mortgage. That’s @42,000 for a household.
Oh they make perfect sense - you just need an education to understand them. And as someone who is, I use that information to stay the hell away from Sowell and his baseless rants.
Case in point: Your diatribe on the 1% terminology addressed nothing of what I was saying. I know goddamn well wealth fluctuates. Doesn't have anything to do with the point.
Hello.. savdis"...
8 years of Obama will be different how...??
Wait'll he suspends the votes and stays in for life.
This did not age well and we have a current president-elect that openly discusses doing the same thing as a trial balloon. I'm guessing you'd be okay w/ it because no reasonable liberal would have speculated that about Obama
@@buckcubmandingo6772 they're still waiting for Obama to take their guns SOMEHOW
I'll always be grateful for him for the Bush II presidency ❤.
The best spoiler a Republican could hope for!
There is no such thing as an election spoiler. Ralph Nader isn't responsible for George W. Bush.
@Patrick Humpphreys
Wrong again, Patrick.
W/o gov interventions in the economy, like minimum wage, corporations and the wealthy would render what's left of the USA Republic a full plutocracy.
Your Libertarian-oriented nostrums are nothing but elitist magical thinking.
2013 was an easier time
It really wasn't... In hindsight
Me probably not fan of you if you say bush is lawless.
There is no war with Libya. Try again.
The Lord can redeem. mr. president you are exactly what the government is supposed to be.
...kinda like you.
How many times in the past, has someone promoted "minimum wage increase" as the cure of the ills of the poor... watched it pass EVERYTIME... and then complain that the poor need help, and to help them, we're going to increase minimum wage. The government needs to get OUT of individual employer/employee contracts. Period!
Well if we had medicaid for all then the corporate business wouldn't have to pay part of our insurance premiums and could put that same money on workers' paychecks! Why wouldn't corporate want that? No loss for them and gain a healthier workforce.
Ralph...increasing the minimum wage to $10.50 would make the USA's unemployment look like Spain's unemployment...21%.
Jennifer Ray Huh?
Imagine living with someone who sees fault in every conceivable thing?
Thank you Ralph Nader for giving us 8 years of George Bush and the Iraq and Afghanistan War because of your narcissism.
Unironically yes.
Al Gore and John Kerry would have been a disaster for the US. It would have been exposed to terrorist attacks, left Afghanistan to Taliban rule, and resulted in a major recession.
Actually, Ralph Nader isn't a narcissist. And he isn't responsible for George W. Bush and his atrocities. And Democrats supported the Iraq and Afghanistan wars too.
And... you're insane.
Nader the complainer.
Ok Karen.
