arch, you ought to be grateful for ralph nader. do you realize that before 1968 there were hardly any cars recalled for being defective, and do you realize that in 1974... who cares? nader cares, arch. and you should too. you drive a cab part-time. ralph nader may save your life someday. how? by making people scared to ride with me? the only person that's deflective is nader. nader ain't doing the country no good. oh, oh, oh. i get it. what's good for general motors is good for the country. you're damn right. both: and ralph nader ain't no good for general motors! no! here you are, archie. are you feeling anything yet? what? i mean, are the mushrooms getting to you? what, are you helping? no! i'm feeling fine. i don't want to hear nothing more about mushrooms. oh, that's good. not necessarily, ma. if he's got botulism, the symptoms might not show for hours. if i got what? botulism. arch, "botulism" means "food poisoning," and i think we ought to check those mushrooms. oh, i think so too. what do you know about it? he's nuts. i'll g

you go back to 2000 where people thought ralph nader was better on progressive issues. that worked out great for black americans when bush got in office. that will play in to the decision and that favors hillary clinton. >> if i may paraphrase, african-american voters don't have the luxury of voting for someone who is a sure shot. hillary clinton is a sure shot. >> more than bernie sanders. >> van, your response and reaction? >> i read the piece. i think there's a difference between a ralph nader and a bernie sanders. they are the opposite. ralph nader is independent, decides to run as a green party candidate in a general election which messes up the math for the democrats. sanders and independents make the opposite choice. he runs as a democrat in a primary election pledging to poert the democrats. i think african-americans have more choice to vote their true heart if they want to. there's a way to look at sanders the way that blacks votes looked in '84 and '88. it wasn't clear that jesse jackson could win a general election but after african-americans gave heart and s

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 over a hundred of these groups. >> fantastic. so we're coming up now on the presidential election. what is your prediction for the presidential election? and are you going to vote? [laughter] >> uh, first of all, i always believe in voting. i don't ever publicize my vote. i believe in the privacy of the vote

in 2080-2012, when i was college ralph nader and never forgave myself. i found in the future to do something about that and try to right that personal wrong of mine. so, i'm trying to encourage people to get out there and exercise their rights. >> so you voted for nader. that a vote with the heart. why are you against that vote now? >> well, i'm not necessarily against it. what is exciting now i feel like i now have a guy with -- similar ideology, in termed of the environment and certainly socioeconomic policies but it's a much better -- much more viable -- a much better position to be a great president. >> you are at the front lines at the mock caucus and have actually been making calls at sanders headquarters. how is your candidate going to do. >> very positive. especially first-time caucussers. caucusees. and is close to being dirty. caucussers. and so it's hard to tell, but as far as the excitement that is brewing on the college campuses, it seems palpable in his favor. >> i've seen photos of your making calls. have thewishans reached a point they do

nader, ross perot, john anderson, the great independent going on and is storming me a status of the political body. the big difference this time is that both sanders and trump are running in mainstream political parties. but the energy and the feeling of rebelliousness and and knocking on the door of the big establishment that is very much evident, and the enthusiasm, and the huge turnout that they get at these events. i was at the trump event just last week in lexington county and he had about 3000 people in a barn, and then a tent just you get when you see these events is pretty impressive, the macro events definitely." another big issue we got to look at is hillary clinton's strength among south carolina's black voters, long a devoted constituency, but one which bernie sanders has been trying to show he's on their side. the talk now in the 2016 presidential race is the importance of south carolina being the first in the south primary. shortly ago, i asked nbc's chuck todd whether the political landscape here would eliminate serious rivals of the front-runner - or cause the rivals

i hope everyone will listen to what ralph nader has to say about bernie sanders. bernie sanders correctly pointed out her biggest problem is money in politics and here is donald trump, the billionaire, speaking in our political system right now. i can't talk, i can't say what donald trump has to say. the american people don't have the voice donald trump has and that's a problem in our country. -- peoplederstand have to see the problem is money in our democracy, which is perverting it. and here is donald trump, the billionaire, perverting it even more. 1 -- host: jose in little rock. what was your thought when you heard the governor was suspending his campaign? caller: i think it's a good thing he did that. we are listening. it is a good thing. caller: i think the republicans the economic crisis we went into in our country and all the problems in the middle east caused by the bush administration. they don't talk about that. if they called president obama a failure, it's because their number one priority was not to let them succeed. said andhat they have that is wha

greg is talking about the energy and i think about to ralph nader and the like and all these -- ron paul, ross perot, jesse jackson, i think they come and go, but they don't stay. >> i think bernie is definitely a movement candidate. dana, you know young people. some say you are a young person. how do we talk to these young people today to remind them of what socialism really >> well, we might have to make an app. >> yes. >> the guy that asked you the question, we were at the villages and we took q&a at the end of our event. and he was an immigrant who had come to america during the cold war and his question to you was how could this possibly happy, how could people in america forget what it was like. and history is doomed to repeat itself. so it is incumbent upon all of white house stu us who studied it to pass on the information and you have to be specific and get social media involved. >> socialist media. that's what i call it. >> the problem is there is a fresh new crop coming in in american universities across this country with liberal professors indoctrinating those with eager mind

and ralph nader hurt al gore and this feeds in the fact that people see weakness in hillary clinton's nomination which was thought to be a cornation. if she had it wrapped up you would not hear a peep from michael bloomberg. >> if trump and sanders are the nominees, that is when he will jump in. is he running to win or keep someone else from winning. >> he is a great businessman and worth billions. and if he would win, but his network is unbelievable. he doesn't do it not to win. he was a democrat and was a republican back when he first run for mayor. he is a winner and he will not do it to lose. >> there are laws of diminishing returns. looking at the republican field. the candidate spending the most money are not getting most results. and same with hillary clinton on the democratic side. the bloomberg rationale is based on room for moderates and there are not. >> when you mention ross perot 20 years since he ran. and why does bloomberg and his allies think it could be different? >> they think two most exciting candidates are bernie sanders and donald trump are viewed as unacceptable

nader, where a lot of voters beforehand -- one of the reasons was they would say, or in bush, there is no difference. i think george w. bush shows everybody that he wasn't the same president as al gore but there was this real kind of belief that you have these two establishment parties and they weren't really offering fresh solutions. -- then these outsiders the twobe -- they get major parties -- and again, the durability of our modern party system is one of the reasons that it is so durable this because it kind of accommodates the ross perot platforms, talking about the reduction of the national debt, for example, talking about fiscal responsibility with -- with something that ross perot thought that bush and clinton had to talk about more than they were talking about it before. toyou have -- i will have think more about this sort of correlation and causality because i think there is something to that when you think you are pivoting to a different political era, it is important because the parties themselves are finding a way -- even after the election -- to accommodate the voters

nader, and take votes electedm the democratic . he said i would never do that. i said if you're really serious about that, if people together and let them know what you're thinking about. yet solid advice about whether this is realistic or not. me, would youd to organize that? and i did. brian: what happened then? mr. press: i think to around in my house, and at that time people were saying this is worth likeing, and it looks there was a plan. chances, but money they might be able to raise. how much it would take, when they would have to start, very preliminary strategy. a group of about 10 or 12 political strategist david gergen advice. this is worthing pursuing, it is not crazy. this is a real uphill battle. you'll be up against the biggest political machine in the country. one of the most experienced people in the country. brian: how long ago was that? april 2014. brian: and he announced when? march of: april or 2015. brian: how much more that did ue? pers did he ask you to come work for him? brianmr. press: no. he caught me at

amy: many people say ralph nader is at a high percentage on his in the polls because you have been responsible for taking the democratic party to the right. what do you say to listeners were listening around the area right now? >> i am glad you asked that. this is the last question i have time for. what is the measure of taking the democratic party to the right? we cut the welfare rolls in half, that poverty is at a 20 year low, that child poverty has been cut by one third in our administration? that the incomes of average americans has gone up? that we have the lowest african-american, lowest latino unemployment rate in the history of the country? that we have a 500% increase in the number of minority kids taking advanced placement tests? that the schools in this country, the test score since we have required all schools that basic standards, test scores among african-americans and other minorities have gone up steadily? amy: can i say -- >> let me finish. you started this and every question you have asked has been hostile and combative, so you listen to my answer. will you do that? you asked

hosti was at a&m, i helped ralph nader. didn't agree with him on much but i loved the exchange with him, the thoughts that went back and forth. he was a very intriguing man. we weren't afraid of discussions with liberals and it's one of the things i loved about justice scalia. he was so brilliant so grounded, is faith was so strongly standing on god's word, the bible. he knew who he was. he knew whose he was. and he knew whose was his and he loved his family dearly. justice scalia said, undoubtedly some think that the second amendment is outmoded in a society where a standing army is the pride of our nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security and where gun violence is a serious problem. that is debatable. what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this court to pronounce the second amendment extinct. it was absolutely a great dissent, pointing out the , pocrisy, the flawed thinking the incredible poor quality of the writing in the majority opinion in the obamacare decision, justice scalia sa

they really need something different than what they are getting and you also see this in 2000 with ralph nader, where a lot of voters beforehand -- one of the reasons was they would , there is nobush difference. i think george w. bush shows everybody that he wasn't the same president as al gore but there was this real kind of belief that you have these two establishment parties and they weren't really offering fresh solutions. but when these outsiders -- the e is they get to the major parties. and again, the durability of our modern party system is one of the reasons that it is so it becomes this kind of accommodates the ross perot platforms, talking about the reduction of the national debt, for example, talking about fiscal responsibility with something that ross perot thought that bush and clinton had to talk about more than they were talking about it before. the parties themselves are finding a way to accommodate the voters that were supporting this independent candidacy. >> thank you for an engaging talk about an engaging book. i did not have the knowledge of my lawyer friend, but i

m more ralph nader, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, maria. maria: don't forget be, we start every day at six a.m.. >> the clinton officials want to attack the state department, she was the secretary of state and now attacking the department, i don't think anybody believes this is politically motivated when last night in south carolina she was the one on stage defending president obama. >> the prescription for bernie sanders is for the government to take over even more parts of our life. and if the government can't manage this, what are you going to do with a single-payer health care system around the country? >> now it's split all over the city. i mean, last season i took my car around to shows. in one week we put on 420 miles on my car in new york. >> that's funny. >> any new ties for jack and i? >> two weeks ago at the men's shows. maria: so yesterday! two weeks ago. >> see that? [laughter] >> i think that as we get closer to the election and the subpoenas start coming out more and more, it's going to be clear that the two levels whether it

if you look at recent history, only the eight most recent third-party candidates including ralph nader and ross perot who ran twice, not a single one got one electoral college vote. the last third-party candidate to get electoral votes was george wallace. 46 electoral college votes, he won five states. the math is not in his favor if he breaks from the rnc. neil: even the case of ross perot got 19% of the vote, the question is not whether donald trump has been cheap when it comes to spending his own money, for good reason, he can get good bang for the buck showing up at the event. might be different running as an independent, right? >> sure, neil, he's bold enough to do it, you are right about that. if you look at this in business terms, if you're considering whether i want to create a start-up or want to buy an existing business, the start-up is going to cost you a lot more. the existing business, the republican party platform is going to cost him less, and i think that trump really makes a lot of decisions based on how much it's going to cost him. it's really the threat, i think, tha

that's like ralph nader taking on honorarium from ford auto dealers. you just don't do it. i think that bernie has a very potent line of attack that he's using now with respect to hillary's plans to cut the costs of going to college. he's point to some very large speaking fees that she got from both public and private universities, and his point is simply this. we need to focus on reducing administrative expenses at our universities if we're going to get the costs of tuition down. that goes right to one of hillary's big vulnerabilities, which is, is she honest, is she trustworthy or is she a hypocrite. >> gloria, as you know, bernie sanders really goes after hillary clinton, their connections to wall street. >> oh, yeah. >> the wall street money that's going to her super pac. he keeps talking about that. i spoke to brian fallon, her campaign press secretary a little while ago and he says, you know what, hillary clinton is doing exactly the same thing when it comes to super pacs, big money, that barack obama did when he was elected and then re-elected, so that's the nature o

with sanders, it's funny, and for that matter with trump as well, some of us can remember, oh, ralph nader, ross perot, john anderson, the great independent going on and stormed the established political body. the big difference is sanders and trump are running in mainstream political parties. the energy and the feeling of rebelliousness and knocking on the door of the big establishment is evident in the enthusiasm and the huge turnout. i was at a trump event last week, and he had about 3,000 people in a barn, and in a tent outside the barn, and the crowd outside the tent. so the energy that you get when you see these events is pretty impressive. the macroevents you have seen, definitely. the smaller retail ones, a lot of fondness and enthusiasm, but just the excitement, and sometimes a lot of first-time participants at a lot of these events is noteworthy. >> yet, hillary clinton with her support in the african-american community, looking very strong here. >> definitely. and in fact, of course, we saw martin o'malley and bernie sanders and hillary clinton stand up on the steps of the

i recall helping out, ushering ralph nader around when he came to texas a&m. one of my friends was his host. that was no big deal. it was really an opportunity for a conservative like me and others to have a dialogue with ralph nader. it sometimes shocks people that a conservative like me can have some very liberal friends. just like the great antonin scalia was very close friends with ruth bader ginsburg. totally different views. he believed in upholding the letter of the law of the constitution and she didn't. but they were friends. so you can have that friendship , but it is an embarrassment, should be an embarrassment to is nation that so many who proclaimed in the 1960's and 1970's to be the most up -minded among us ended becoming professors at colleges . began to teach the teachers. and those teachers in turn went back and taught elementary and middle school and high school. and somehow over the last 50 years we've gone from a nation that recognizes that true conservatism is confident enough in itself that it's not afraid to have debate and dialogue and

then ralph nader came along and cars got a lot of safer. and now, it's just a little over 1 per 100 million. and that number's kept going down. so we only had a little over 30,000 auto deaths in 2014. but in 2015 for the first time in a long time, the trend started going the other way. and we just got figures from the first nine months but the frequency of auto accidents went up a lot last year. the number of deaths went up. the 32,000 deaths incidentally, a third are drunk driving. if you think about it, almost 10,000 deaths from 32,000 come from drunk driving. half of the people that are killed as occupants in a car are not wearing seat belts. but i personally believe that distracted driving which was listed for about 10% of the deaths in 2013, i think that amount went up a fair amount. >> distracted driver mean someone talking on the phone or texting? >> yeah, one way or another, distracted driving. that's harder to get the precise figures out. about 2,000 deaths. but in any event, the frequency of accidents, the frequency of deaths per

. >> ralph nader. >> you coined a term today, sir. we'll see you on hard ball. a reminder we will be back here tomorrow for a special extended edition of "morning joe" as we break down all the results. while we are at it why don't we come back this afternoon and have a drink at the bar. what do you think? >> that's tomorrow. is it today or tomorrow? >> today. >> thank you guys. we will be here from 3:00 to 5:00 today. >> great. >> you will be back tonight, right? >> yes. >> we will be back tonight and then here tomorrow morning. >> still ahead this morning republican presidential candidate carly fiorina -- it's fun. we love it. >> but first donald trump just moments away. "morning joe" is coming right back. in new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today. all across the state the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, and the lowest taxes in decades, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. like in the hudson valley, with world class biotech. and on long island, where great universities are creating next generation technologies. l
