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 jump. Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrovan, along with David Feldman, of course

Ralph Nader, hence the title, Ralph Nader Radio Hour. And this is a big week for you, Ralph, because

your new book, Unstoppable, the emerging left-right alliance to dismantle the corporate

state has just been released. I have to say Ralph, it seems like you come out with a book a

year. You're like the Stephen King of political activism, only scarier, I think, to some people.

I heard Jay Leno do a book once where he said he saw Stephen King at a bookstore,

autographing books and handing them on until he looked close and realized he was actually

writing the books.

I think that's you. I don't know. Well when you're

writing non-fiction it goes a little slower than when you're letting your

fictional imagination wrong. But this book could be one of the most important I've ever written because it addresses the question how do we get things done in this country when you got Republican Democrat gridlock both in Hock to the dollars they're dialing for from the

commercial and corporate interests and my answer is rooted in history and some

successes in Congress is to expose the liberal conservative alliance

that often is lying latent but represents majority results and also to show how when it starts generating an audible rumble and the politicians start hearing from it

all the calculus change in terms of whether the corporations are going to be dominant or be on the run.

So right now there are three areas where left-right alliances are going operational.

At the state level and state legislatures passing

juvenile justice reform and taking another look at the drug laws.

Number two, it's going into the minimum wage comes in 70 to 80 percent support for a higher minimum wage.
