mr. nader who has been my role model for life. his political activism -- my question for you is, don't you think that there is no document as closely held to our heart as the constitution happens to be, that it is not sacrosanct. in other words, we have to have a constitutional convention, perhaps once every hundred years. trying to have an all-out process where the populace -- the constituents, 300 million would participate and then do a referendum, trying to have the documents revised to reflect the realities of the day rather than allowing it to be exploited by the establishment where the majority will be left on the fringes. host: the constitution is out of date in some respects. for example, the words corporation and company don't even appear in the constitution. the words political parties don't even appear in the constitution. why allow it to rule us? good question. fundamental documents need renewal and expansion. the problem is, do you want to risk a convention in which you may lose so

nobody -- [applause] mr. nader nobody demonstrated a belief in the first amendment like phil donahue. he brought on his show, again and again, people who despised him, who disagreed with him, who assailed him, that's the ultimate test of the belief in first amendment. he will discuss how he broke through one taboo that was conventional taboo for most of the other media after another, and opened huge areas of american life and voice to expression. day three will be waging peace over waging war. we want to get rid of this idea that peace is something weak but war's something strong. our wars have failed again and again, and you will see the documentation of that by some of the most extraordinary presenters, people who work for the state department, the cia, people who fought in wars that they wished they never were part of, criminal wars of aggression that are boomer ranging against us all over the country. the traditional peace groups that had these vigils every sunday in the village grain and people drove by them,

mr. nader's comments on the platform, i respectfully disagree and he is a genuine american hero. ats will agree to give mr. sanders some of the positions he wants. i think you've really got to be careful here not to make this it really doesn't work. dagen: of hillary clinton with a better candidate they would be a fight and bernie sanders wouldn't be bringing a $20 million a month. >> she is a good candidate. she has gotten more votes than he has. as each barrier seems to be fair, he's now got another one he will try to overcome, which is the superdelegates and he is going to go to the end. dagen: they turned on her in a way. is that what they are counting on? if his momentum continues? >> who turned on her? dagen: the superdelegates but for barack obama when his popularity picked up your >> the fact that the matter that is a situation which he had more votes than she did. she's got millions of those more. >> there's a lot of discussion over donald trump. he's been very complimentary as they exited the race. i want to get to you because not a lot of chat yet about who hillary clin

and i'm just delighted to have this conversation with you, mr. nader. and welcome to all of you this evening. we are gonna have a conversation. and then we're gonna open up to questions that you all have submitted. so let's just kick it right off now. when i told my friends, ralph, that i was going to interview you tonight, the most frequent response i got was, "ralph nader. where's he been? what's he been up to?" so where have you been? and what have you been up to? >> see, if you're not on the evening news, you're not on the national media, they don't think you're doing anything. we have never stopped. we start new groups. we foster all kinds of proposals. we try to disseminate information. we loby capito hil. we ner stoped. i mean, if you want to see what we're doing, you want to get my weekly column free, just go to nader.org and sign up and look back over the years. it's been 40 years now. you'll see what we're working on. and all the groups that i founded i like to spin off so they're autonomous and they're on their own two feet. there have been o

this particular clip that we're watching, mr. nader to drop out of the race. do you think that he either will or should come wednesday morning if trump wins by a lot in indiana? of course you've been in similar positions hey, drop out of the race. so what about cruz? >> not at all. telling somebody to drop out, neil, is like telling them not to exercise their right of free speech. you can oppose him but don't tell him not to drop out. you can see the person who challenged cruz based just like trump. in other words he overtalked. he didn't want to hear any response from cruz. that's the problem with trump. if trump is the nominee, trump is going to be one who will sink trump because he can't control his mouth. one thing, slandering and shouting at opponents on primary trail or debates so-called or press trying to question him but he can get away with that when he starts shouting at courts or foreign governments and people that can oppose him pull the rug out from under him should he get to the white us he will be in deep trouble. he is

so mr. nader and i wrote a letter demanding a recall, and the initial reaction was, we're not going to recall them because there will be a big health hazard even though they ignored the fact that there were plenty of other supplies there. two days after our letter, which was delivered to the press, they recalled all the fluids in the united states. [ applause ] and ultimately the centers for disease control said this was the biggest outbreak of nosicomial, meaning hospital acquired whatever ever. the numbers when they counted them up was between 2,000, to 8 8,000. and i was still at nih. i started getting phone calls from people in the fda, you think this is a problem, look at this. i got a call from my dear now departed friend tony mazaki saying would you come and visit these workers who have mercury poisoning in philadelphia. i said this is more exciting than being in the official public health service. i had to take annual leave to take these forays. we decided to start the group. quickly after

mr. nader: justice needs money. the abolition movement was funded significantly by rich bostonians and new yorkers. the women's suffrage movement drew on rich philadelphians, among others. in the 1950s the civil rights and environmental movements, in the '60s, due on families such as the stern family from louisiana, and the curry family from virginia. we would like to have some enlightened very wealthy people recognized. -- very wealthy people recognize that their legacy to america is not in their material accomplishments. their respect for posterity as to what they bequeathed to their descendents, that the legacy to america is to unfurl a civic and political energies of the american people, to turn our country into what it can be, and what it can be overseas as well. finally, finally i want to conclude by urging all of you to spread the word, by your appearance today and watching it on live stream. you have preselected yourselves in terms of interests and commitment, reflecting your own civic energies. it's importa
