a child welfare services gordon nader who was fired after joining a gay recreational softball league.nd c-span two 9:00 a.m. strategic vision, u.s. withdrawal, russian resurgence in the region. a.m. climate 39:00 and maritime security. speakers include retired admiral john richardson. president trump signed to bilateral trade agreements with japan. he was joined by robert lighthizer, ambassador to the u.s. the president was asked about his decision to withdraw u.s. troops and the turkish offensive in syria. this is about an hour.

joining us on the phone is ralph nader. it's good to have you, mr. nader. feeling that you would point to some of the latest anecdotal developments and say there was a reason for you to be expressing some of your very vociferous points earlier with us i guess you don't -- you're not looking at boeing in a better light now than you were before >> well, i think because of the internal emails that have now been belatedly released by top boeing pilots, test pilots saying that the simulator that tested that software, the mcas that was put in the planes by boeing to deal with the increased risk of stalling by the boeing 737 max, that's creating a lot of trouble inside boeing it is sparking further the justice department criminal probe and it's angered the chair of the senate house transportation committee and who will hear dennis muilenburg, the defrocked chair of the board, the ceo of boeing who will testify before the committee there are a lot of shoes yet to fall the analysts should point to that congress has not been a factor up until now but it will become a

who was not a partisan figure in that stage and not really a supporter of either party but ralph nader argued deregulation would be better for consumers and that has proved to be true. the one that has affected most americans in many ways, airline deregulation. we use to have the days of table cloths and silver salt and pepper shakers but the price of affairs was so much the great majority of americans couldn't afford family vacations, going on a plane. if you have ever been in orlando airport you would get an idea there's a lot of americans who can afford a family vacation by aircraft today thanks to deregulation. that squeezed cost and transportation, that is an achievement president carter can take pride in. >> a surprising political battleground in the midwest, you make the following point that of the 100 electoral votes that switch democratic to republican votes in 2012-2016, 50 were in the midwest, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, iowa, 20 were in pennsylvania, demographically at -- more closely resembling the midwest than the rest of the northeast including towns like scranton, pittsb

if you were a nader supporter, you could vote for the native, but you know he's not going to win.ould cast a second approval vote for al gore and instead of losing by 97,000 votes, well, , the 97,000otes would vote probably about two to one for outdoor, so he would have won by tens of thousands of votes rather than losing by 537 facilitated by the supreme court. >> it sounds like it would have made indifference in 2000. in whichhe situation hillary clinton won the popular vote and lost the electoral college but there wasn't a strong third-party candidate. >> no, there wasn't. i think trump would probably not have been the republican nominee. he was the strongest minority candidate on the right, but governor kasich from ohio probably would have been approved by more republicans and polls show that he probably would've won the republican nomination against trump. they tend to find the candidate that is more acceptable when anyone else. if you think about it, it's the way we reference our movies when we go out with friends. what is acceptable to the most people. you don't have to be

mike, you, berny, and ralph nader are my heroes. it is such a pleasure to talk to you guys. as a retired machinist who had to retire early when my dad died ecause i had to come home to take care of my ma. she's 89 now. but thank god for unions because there's just no good-paying obs. i was going to support warren, but after seeing the rally with bernie -- i gave bernie $900 for his campaign. i also donated to ralph nader's campaign. host: what was it about the rally that convinced you? caller: well, i was thinking, you know, maybe we need a woman. and elizabeth warren mirrored bernie's policies, which i -- i'm a socialist. i like paying my taxes, dam damn it. if i'm making 30 bucks an hour, i should pay my fair share. i like to drink clean water. and when i flush the toilet i want to know it's not knot going to go into a river or lake that i would like to fish and actually eat the fish out of. and mike, next time you are in traverse city, i would love it if you could autograph my book, "stupid white man" which by the way you stole from me because i was saying there before yo

one has to do with gerald who was a child welfare services court nader in georgia. he was fired. were factual disputes as to whether he was fired due to an audit, or that he had joined a gay softball league. the root question here is whether he can even bring this claim under title vii. -- wasly, donald sactown a skydiving this -- instructor in new york. part of his job, he would have to strap himself and people he was training. if it was a woman, he would reassure them that it was >> there are distinctions that are permitted. the supreme court itself suggested might be necessary for separate sex bathrooms, allowing for different dress codes. allowing for different fitness requirements. virginia military case, ginsburg suggested if you open up the school to women, you might have to build a new dorm. you might have to have different standards. there is a suggested that this is potentially required to open the door to women. a lot of things i don't think the court wants to bring into that. there is tension in both parties heightened idea of muscle. words because of sex. everyone ag

i remember the time when we had nader -- neighborhoods with small businesses that were owned by african-americans. this is a very important moments today because, quite frankly, this is one of the reasons, the main reason that i ran for supervisor. i think that -- [applause] it is so delightful and refreshing that we have a mayor that actually impress it -- embraces this. we need an interruption and we need to interrupt what is happening and how can we get back to the san francisco values that we are all so proud of and we all love. when you come to san francisco, you expect to see diversity. when you come to san francisco, the self-proclaimed, most progressive city in the united states, you expect to see people of color thriving here and yet we are not seeing that. i would like to take a moment of appreciation to really think my legislative aide for doing this work. [cheers and applause] and also district five legislative aide. [applause] and from the human rights commission thank you. this is the hard work of determined women that we will write this and we will write it good. historic race disc

i'm going to read a little bit from the introduction the problem wit with nader debate, dissent is empowerment. in california a woman returns to the clinic where she had an iud inserted. i went from a happy-go-lucky to a depressed walking zombie in just three weeks. the clinician refuses told her she doesn't think it is a good idea, tells her to wait six months, says what happens when you have an abortion. after missing her case and being denied multiple times competition shaking with anger turns to request into a demand, so the clinician rolls her eyes, takes the device out and leaves the exam room. in new jersey a woman having her second baby is nine out of 10 centimeters dilated hands and knees with her midwife when the obstetrician on call enters the room, asks about the woman's previous delivery and tells her she needs a c-section this time and when the woman asked questions for doctor threatens to call legal people if she doesn't sign a consent form for surgery. in minneapolis a 46-year-old woman at a medical center has robotic minimally invasive hysterectomy. two months later she has co

we were founded by ralph nader to be the people's representative.e don't take any government or corporate funding. our focus is on china -- trying to make the government work. how that undermines the functioning of our democracy. we have a very substantial amount of attention devoted campaign-finance reform and ethics rules. doesn't work, the outcomes are going to be something that doesn't work. >> this a huge appetite for in fact represent is passed hr one the first bill the first major bill the signature bill of this moneyss of transformative in politics pro-democracy reform legislation that would have among other things replaced the current campaign-finance system which is dependent on large donors. hr one come about as a response to the citizens united case? that: i think the energy came from across the country in response to citizens united is what led to the passage of one. host: lots there. focusing on a couple of those key points. guest: there are four main points. the first, conflict of interest, i think that's the most important one. on th

nader in that respect i think this plane is imminently fixable.has been fixed before it's back with the traveling public but i don't think it's a hopeless cause by any means. i one that, that he has that point of view. i think it's, frankly, a view held by a very, very small minority of people >> senator, before we go die want to ask you about these impeachment hearings and how you intend to vote >> well, i'm not at all inclined to vote to remove president trump from office. i do want to say that i look forward to a vote in the house of representatives and i've been calling on the house to do the impeachment as was done in the nixon inquiry and the clinton impeachment and so to the extent that there may be a resolution that will give us a comfort level taking place later on this week i think is a positive >> it's not a vote on an inquiry, though. ate vote on -- i don't know what is it. >> i haven't read the resolution i heard the announcement yesterday. you make a valid point we'll see what the resolution is and i hope it is in keeping with the pr

john hoeven how does nader oppose. sugar cane farmers in parts of asia struggling because of an oversupply that sent prices to their lowest levels in 6 years some of the world's largest producers have huge stockpiles including in thailand where the heart of the new harvest is about to begin in hay reports. this factory in north east thailand isn't supposed to be operating at the moment it's usually a time to prepare for the new harvest of should be cane to arrive from farms around the province of tiny instead it's still processing and bagging last season's product which for now isn't going any further than the storage sheds which are becoming increasingly full right now is that yeah because everything is throw. wait and see last season thailand produced more sugar than ever contributing to a global surplus and helping the price to plummet it has a stockpile of around 7000000 tonnes over a 1000000 more than it had at the same time last year another reason there is so much excess at the moment is because historically a l

nader's and the u.k.'s parliament. only chance joins us now from westminster every where all with these negotiations tonight. well we've had another day of negotiations pos brussels and here in the u.k. and we are still waiting for a legal tech still waiting for a concrete outline of what this deal might look like yes there have been positive noises coming from the european union positive noises coming from downing street. even some of the more hard line breaks it and payson saw the conservative party that that group known as the g does seem to be mostly on board with what's downing street and the e.u. are proposing the sticking point though remains the. d u p this is the the the political party from northern ireland which is propped up the conservative governments of to reason may is doing the same for boris johnson he is very suspicious of anything that might put a harder border between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom it wants that relationship between the u.k. northern ireland to be as tight and

saying about every other person that run as third party candidate, like jill stein or bob barr or ralph nader. >> speaking as a russian asset, it does in the make sense, she suggests if tulsi gabbard would run as a third party. kennedy: i asked her, she said no. >> she will steal votes from hillary clinton, propel donald trump to a second term. in reality, i'm not a tulsi fan but she is a very interesting and quirky view point set, that would draw as much from perhaps you know, right of center then the left of center. not clear it would help the democratic candidate any more than donald trump, unclear where it would draw from and i think would be insignificant in the end it does not make sense. kennedy: hillary clinton rails against jill stein. gary johnson got twice as many votes as stein, she never talked about him, and john-joh johnsone votes. >> not political opponents, it has nothing to do with her believing if the russians have tulsi, she does not believe that, she went against the her. supported bernie sanders and withdrew herself from the dnc, you know what, country is sick and tired

wsami nader is an economi has been predicting these protests for months. >> there is no separation betweencs, and the politician either is doing business directly or, now, if it's so obvious, he has around him circles who get the big contracts. it's the case in the electricity sector, it's the case in the waste sectors, ithe telecoms sectors. >> reporter: a state department official voiced american support for the protesters, telling saudi channel al arabiya, "the people of lebanon are rightly frustrated with their government's inability to prioritize reform. the protests have shaken the country's political elite, with prime minister saad hariri appearing on television four days ago to offer the protestere rms. slatedr): these decisions are not for bartering, they are not to ask you to stop protesting or expressing anger. this is something that you decide. and we are not giving you a deadline, and i will not allow mianyone to threaten or inte >> reporter: the protesters rejected his offer, and instead demand all political leaders resign. hariri is a sunni muslim but his rival, hassan nasra

paying lip service to ne there and the north atlantic the europeans are still paying lip service to nader and the north atlantic collective security even though you know you know full well that collective security even though you know you know full well that your interest when the push comes to shove i'm not taking into account your interest when the push comes to shove i'm not taking into account seriously they may be listened to but they're not taking into account. seriously they may be listened to but they're not taking into account. i have a different impression on that the americans of course took into account secure i have a different impression on that the americans of course took into account security interests of europeans that nato as a collective alliance decided to interest of europeans that nato as a collective alliance decided to reassure nato allies in the east for example a broad expanse of poland to reassure nato allies in the east for example a broad expanse of poland and the americans on top of these decisions send even. and the americans on top of these decisions send

i'm still angry about ralph nader and the 2000 election.mething she's been i don't know whether tulsi gabbard is connected with the russians, but the russian state media has been very favorable toward her. she won't come out and really go after assad who is a genocidal dictator. and so i think congressman can quickly figure this out, quickly put it to rest by, you know, coming out and saying assad is a bad man and i don't want the russian folks coming out and supporting me in the media. >> president trump is tweeting about this today. seems to think it could work in his favor. is this good or bad are for the democrats right snow? >> well, listen. i don't ever like to see democrats fight with one another. however, the broader bigger issue is we need to be very careful as we head into this 2020 presidential election. if you thought russia was active in 2016, they are going to take it to a new level. whatever they did to help donald trump, it has paid off for them. the issues of nator and everything else trump has done since he's been in offic

who was not a partisan figure at that stage and is not a supporter of either party now but ralph naderrgued that deregulation would be better for consumers. i think that has proven to be true. that hashe one affected most americans in many ways, airline deregulation. we used to have the days of little silver salt and pepper shakers and airports but the price was so high that the majority of americans could not afford going on a plane. if you ever have been at the orlando airport, get the idea that there are a lot of americans that can afford a family vacation by aircraft and that is thanks to deregulation. that is an achievement that president carter can take pride in. host: chapter 14 is a surprising new political battleground in the midwest and you make the following point that of the 100 electoral votes that switch from democratic to republican votes between 2012 and 2016, 50 were in the midwest. ,0 were in pennsylvania specifically west of netra philadelphia. -- of metro philadelphia. pittsburgh,cranton, meadville. guest: another 29 electoral votes in florida, large parts of which
