new parties to two parties and independent candidates and that's how the system falls apart so ralph nader in 2000 is a perfect example we don't have to worry about hanging chad's and bush versus gore if florida had an electoral system at the state level to require a majority winner because bush didn't get the majority only a plurality because these other candidates on the ballot so it turns out donald trump wins the electoral college majority at the federal level they can't get 270 electoral votes the magic number with less than 50 percent so florida with 29 electoral votes get all of them winner take all less than 50 percent of the popular vote that is inconsistent with the vision you shouldn't get the electoral college majority so the system went awry and then to assist the majority rule principle at the state level and how that can be done but that's the essence of the idea. >> letter rich and creative idea. and then turn to those important arguments and your thoughts there are so many questions can you explain please explain the interstate compact the alternative. and then like any ot

i would appoint somebody like ralph nader. what fun it would be to jump on ralph nader with both feet and send pink marxist deuce squirting out of his crack a kid. i think we should get a little ralph is 75 and and clearly insane. but you know it took more than one man and is a good and ill te written book "unsafe at any speed" direct the most important industry in the nation. that was the corvair ralph was attacking at and save it in his deed. ralph was just wrong about the corvair because my high school girlfriend had a corvair, and connie, connie was the worst driver in the world. and one of the fastest. if connie couldn't get yourself killed in the corvair, it couldn't be done so ralph was all wrong. but the pundits are all telling us that this point the blame to go around for the death of the american car and a number of sure about that either. it's true that the car executives are knuckleheads, but all executives are knuckleheads. look at bill gates. if you are worth i got zillion dollars, wouldn't you go to work -- coat

i want to bring blame somebody like ralph nader. what fun it would be to jump on ralph nader with both feet and send the pink marxist group do squirting out of his cracked and had and we should do that even though ralph is 75 and clearly insane but it took more than one man and his ignorance and well-written book unsafe at any speed to wreck the most important industry in the nation and that was the corvair that ralph was attacking in unsafe at any speed. ralph was just wrong about the corvair because my high school girlfriend connie had a corvair and connie was the worst driver in the world. and one of the fastest and if connie couldn't get herself killed in the corvair, it couldn't be done so ralph was all wrong. but the pundits are all telling us there's plenty of blame to go around with the death of the american park and i'm notsure about that either . now it's true that the car executives are knuckleheads. but all executives are knuckleheads. look at bill gates. if you were worth a zillion dollars, wouldn't you go to a barber c

ralph nader in 2000 might make a difference even though he wasn't nearly as popular as bush or gore butve been influential in who wins. ranked choice voting would avoid that problem you don't need an interstate compact for that you don't need a constitutional amendment if only florida had had a right choice ballot in 2000, that would've solved the problem because it was the pivotal state. if wisconsin for example pivotal state this year, it's crucial what its rules are. and it's conceivable we could still have a third party candidate that could make a difference, there's rumors of justin unwashed member of congress from michigan might run as libertarian, that could be the factor that affects the whole election. >> thanks very much for singling right choice voting as an alternative. i will ask more about it in a moment. i want to say first several of our questioners have asked, where can we learn more about the electoral college we posted in the chat box a link to the national constitution center's interactive constitution, friends, this is the most amazing resource if you have it checke

all are going to be like ralph nader. what fun to be to jump on him with both feet print and send the biggest squirting out of his quite and can bring an annoying 75 clearly insane, think we should do that. clint took more than one man in his ignorant and well-written book of unsafe at any speed direct the most important industry in the nation. the corvair and rough was just wrong about it high school girlfriend connie had a corvair. she was the worst driver in the world one of the fastest. she could not get yourself killed in it. it could not be done. so ralph was all right. there's plenty of blame to go around for the death the market car. not really sure about that either. it's true that the car executives are knuckleheads. but all of them are. the bill gates . know if you are where the god zillion dollars, when you go to a barber college and get a decent 5-dollar haircut. labor union leadership is mending. one thing to be mad at them another thing to expect does labor union leaders to be done at the uaw hall sitting o

so ralph nader in 2000 is a perfect example. we wouldn't have had to worry about hanging chad's and bush versus gore if florida had had an electoral system at the state level that required a majority winner because bush didn't get a majority. he only got a plurality. because you have these other candidates on the ballot. turns out in 2016 donald trump wins an electoral college majority as at the federal level but he can't get to 270 electoral votes, the magic number without winning states with less than 50 percent so florida for example again 29 electoral votes. trump gets all 29 electoral votes, that's winner take all and less than 50 percent of the popular vote. that's inconsistent with the jeffersonian vision because you weren't supposed to get the electoral college without a majority at the state level so the system went alright . how we fix it is to insist that states adopt majority rule principle at the state level and there's details on how that could be done but that's the essence of the idea wonderfully summarized. what

i want to blame someone like ralph nader. what fun it would be to jump on ralph nader with both feet and send a pink marxist goose squirting out of his crack to get the egg had. i think we should do that even though ralph is somebody 75 and clearly insane but it took more than one man in his ignorant and ill written book, unsafe at any speed, to wreck the most important industry in the nation. that was they forbear that ralph was attacking an unsaved nation and the colbert and ralph was just wrong about the career because my school high school girlfriend connie had a colbert and connie was the worst driver in the world. and one of the fastest. if connie cannot get herself killed in the colbert it cannot be done. the contents, the pundits are telling us that there's plenty of blame to go around for the death of the american car and i'm not sure about that either. now it is true that the car executives are knuckleheads paid but all executives are knuckleheads. look at bill gates. if you were worth a good zillion dollars wouldn'

you think he would've discovered america, no way since the 15th century ralph nader with the awful workingonditions in those shifts. you think ben franklin would've been tied to electricity with the kite, where the hell is his permit and his helmet although he looks like he's wearing one and forget discovered penicillin, think of the mold, the allergies, so maybe let's be reasonable, we are all trying, were on the same team so while we all go back to work, maybe lawyers take half days, chill out, catch a movie because there's good news coming, we are promising drugs, flattening curves, new hygiene practices and good people like you doing great things. that's the real weapon, computer models never factor in human ingenuity. it can't because human ingenuity is impossible to predict except that you know it will be there when the going gets rough. and sure enough it shows up because you did too. nice job. greg: let's welcome tonight's guest, his thoughts are off the hook, in his new book, the creator and host of the rubin report the great dave rubin. there it is. she is the sharpest thing in s

even america was divided over screw george w or get screwed by al gore but we agree on killing ralph nader i will not have examples recent elections for fear of attracting attention by the secret service like the obama white house. it works on parts of governments get in bed with fema housing screw agricultural subsidies and health care reform kills us it's great with that political analysis because in a free and democratic country it is a three-legged stool to be balanced upon a tripod of power and freedom and responsibility we live in a free and democratic country a little less democratic than it was before last night also it's a great deal of critical analysis because we are so passionate about our politics how do they end? and a passion sometimes and occasionally they turn into stable permanent legal arrangements which is the endless quarrel known as marriage how do we do that? do we overthrow with violence hard we tried to build something that is lasting that is worthy and annoying marvelously purchased and stifling? our power of freedom of responsibility. now when i first began to th

want to blame somebody like ralph nader. sun and i think we should definitely attack even though ralph is 75 and clearly insane. it took more than one man and his ignorant and ill written book, unsearch at any speed to wreck the most important industry in the nation, and that was the corvair that ralph was attacking and he was ongoing but the corvair, my high school girlfriendded a corvair and he was one of the worst drives and one of the fastest and if she couldn't get herself killed in the corvair it couldn't be done. ralph was wrong. the pun dents are telling us there's plenty 0 blame to go round for the death of the american car and i'm not sure about that either. now, it's true that the car executives are knuckleheads but all executives are knuckleheads. look at bill gates. if you were word a god zillion dollars wouldn't you go to a barber college and get a decent five dollar haircut. labor union leadership is maddening but one thing to be mad at the labor union leaders and another thing to expect those labor union leade

meanings and i think you are referring to an antitrust version of free enterprise that someone like ralph nader later embraced as well. i think that tradition is there, but one of the interesting things about free enterprise discourse of the sort i am writing about is it is almost the reverse of what you are talking about, which is a lot of big business people speaking as if they were small business people. that is the essence of one of my chapters, which is -- one of the things you constantly see from the president of gm that gm is no different than the corner grocer or the peanut vendor and so forth. a lot of these business lobbies used that language repeatedly, where the economy is made up of entrepreneurs and individuals but not of large corporations. the free enterprise discourse i'm talking about completely -- it is usually spoken by people who come from that world, but who deny its existence altogether. i don't think it is in contradiction. this is a term that has many uses. i will fight you to say that my version is the most dominant in the 1930's, but i accept that there were other ver
