From the K-P-F-K studios in Southern California,

it's the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting great to long.

Welcome to the Ralph Nader. Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrovan along with my co-host. David Feldman. How are you doing today, David? I know I speak for Ralph Nader when I say it's good to have you back on the show.

Well, thank you.

Back on vacation.

A little congested, but very glad to be back here and we also have, as mentioned the man of the hour Ralph Nader no show without Ralph Nader. Hello.

Hello good to have you back Steve. We're gonna talk about some pretty dramatic issues this hour.

Yes, I have to say probably no one more than you, Ralph,

knows what it's like to run a third party presidential campaign.

You have been calling for multi-party development in the

United States for a long time. Now there are a lot of people out there who have been encouraging

Bernie Sanders to break away from the Democrats and head a third party. And we are going to dive head long into that topic with

former outreach coordinator for the Sanders campaign, Nick Brana, who is spearheading an effort

to get Bernie Sanders to do just that, start a third party.

Also joining us today is economist Ben Zipperar from the Economic Policy Institute,

who is going to do a little myth busting for us, breaking down some of the arguments people make against

increasing the minimum wage. As always, corporate crime reporter Russell Mocyber will check in with his

latest report on the shenanigans going on in the business world and if we have time we will

answer some of your questions for Ralph but first let's talk third party

politics David.
