LOVE ol' Ralph. Sometimes he can be a bit dated, but his core is solid and classic. Works for any Era. Can't wait to hear the PMC apologists & protectors of the Strike-Breaker Squad and Ryan Grim, comment on how Ralph just doesn't understand unions and govt works. Should be fun!

I grew up watching Ralph Nader testifying before Congress and passing one great piece of legislation after another (I’m Brie’s mom’s age and share her starry eyed admiration for Ralph). I voted for him a number of times for President and have never regretted it. Unbelievable he’s 88 and still this insightful and energetic. I love the cross-generational connection going on with Ralph and Brie. Great episode. Just what we needed after the frustration with the squad and the railroad workers.

MYK’L ROCKS

Doesn’t the House Leader also need to be American born? In the event they would become President?

Ralph understands exactly how unions, organizing & governments work. Bri and the vast majority of people in the comments don't. In fact, Ralph said that people should gather together, organize even if it's only 10 people get letterhead, be formal, get names, addresses & occupations take their issues to their elected officials and tell those officials what you want done. When BMWED-IBT Rank & File United did that, Bri, Sawant and the vast majority of the people in the comments screamed ...no, not like that...you can't do that, you're helping Dems cover up their strike breaking....not those people, they're conservatives...you'll never get what you want...those elected officials talked to the wrong union members..it was only a few people... You called them naive and denigrated then because they organized in a way and with people you don't like. When Ryan tried to educate with articles that explained pretty much everything everyone in the comments ignored them. Not a surprise because when union members expressed opinions that didn't line up with what you all think is what's actually going on you shit on them instead of maybe learning something new or seeing the world from the perspective of other people, you know, actual union members. The people in the comments I'm not too bothered about because champagne socialists going to champagne, but Bri being disrespectful to union members is a different thing. I hoped she'd take in some new information about the people who organized to get a vote on the 7 days and let that new information inform her going forward but that didn't happen. I'm a union member and we'll put our heads together & figure out a way to save ourselves because "No one else is coming to save railroad workers – not the AFL-CIO. Not the well-meaning DSA chapters, and not the self-styled left-wing commentators."

Ralph correctly points out that there are areas where the left and right agree and should work together. But liberals and shortsighted leftists will castigate anyone who suggests working together in this way and accuse them of a "red brown alliance."

Legendary! He even thinks in terms of guerilla warfare...don't attack them where they're powerful, target the weak points and build momentum from there. Leverage points. He's been begging people on the right side of these issues to do this for decades now. Man there's hours worth of questions we need to ask this guy. I wonder if there's some way we could convince him to go on callin at some point. This episode was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Let's also not let Elon live down the Hyperloop. It's a closed uber shuttle service. We could've had high speed rail from Las Vegas --> LA.

I'm no US constitutional expert, but I'm pretty sure that they don't have to be, they'd just get skipped, in the case of the president and vice-president both becoming vacant.

Adam Burch

Is this guy really suggesting we send letters to our congressperson? I’m pretty sure if that worked we’d have what we wanted by now
