-here to agree with us is democratic senator cory booker of new jersey.ringing palm sweat from your handkerchief after a ted cruz handshake to join us today, senator. -it is very, very good to be with you. thank you. -now, senator, are you confident democrats have made a compelling case to remain in power? and when you answer, please try to restrain yourself from saying the word "abortion" more than 500 times. -[ laughs ] -well, i have to remind folks where the economy was. we were in a terrible, terrible place when president biden took over because covid had shut down our economy. and the american rescue plan that biden signed into law rescued thousands and thousands of small businesses, helped us to get back out there and back to work. and he's continuing to pass more bills, i think, than we've seen done since lbj. -now, while democrats are appealing to voters' wallets, some republicans are appealing to the most bigoted nerve receptors in voters' brain stems. senator booker, here is your colleague, leather-upholstered republican senator tommy tuberville

. >> what do you think of cory booker saying kick him in the shins. >> eric holder. >> i know they allook alike. >> no, they don't. dan: i can only imagine. can you imagine if donald trump would have said something like that? i said this before. democrats are the real party of open blatant racism. we did a whole monologue on them. remember in the mid-terms who the left really is. they tell us over and over again. you just have got to listen. it's time for hot takes. three outrageous stories you may have missed but you need to know about. joining me, "fox and friends" host pete hegseth. the american rescue plan that rescues no one has found someone to rescue. fund may have been used to rescue drag queen store question hour for kids. you wrote an entire book on the fail of our education system. >> pete: we are surprised when 150 million goes to the national endowment for the arts which doesn't do art anymore, it gives grants to left wing organizations to hold drag queen store question hour. they don't believe anybody is going to look. this is their opportunity to grab our money to push a

four years ago in 2014 i was in iowa with kamala harris with cory booker with all of these candidatesmpaign in presidential election with joe biden at the end of that october in 2018. you do see as a way of looking into presidential campaigns what potential candidates do in midterms. >> it is sometimes a foreshadowing of things to come. izeac, great to see you. and joining me now, analyst john avalon and host of pbs firing line margaret hoover. john, what do you make of that? was it too cynical of me to ask if there were any 2024 consideration in any of this? >> i mean, you know i'm not a big fan of sliding into 2024 talk when the midterms are three weeks away. but that is the back drop of the conversation. that is the back drop of the reporting. that is what you're acknowledging. look, i think it has to do with the fact that pete buttigieg is the best communicator. he represents generational change. kamala harris is also a candidate of generational change. but i think buttigieg has gotten a reputation is someone who could make the democrats' best argument and that is why. >> and marg

pardon with cory booker and others that we hope might be taking up in the aftermath of the midterm election. building upon the work that president biden has done. >> let's turn to efforts to hold the house. there is a feeling to some of that, democrats gain some positive momentum. after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. as the election draws closer, races are tightening an illinois. democrats are now worried that they could end up losing a seat as the party continues to struggle and districts outside of major urban areas. what are you hearing as you talk to your fellow democrats across the country right now? >> well we have to make sure that the elector understand that this is not simply a referendum on the moment that we may find ourselves in. two of course as a whole host of challenges coming out of the covid-19 pandemic. but it's a choice between democrats who will continue to get big things done for every day americans. but people over politics and extreme maga republicans, they are extreme and reproductive freedom. we supported that they want to criminalize abortion care. they

we have cory booker, we are gonna see bernie sanders as well. on both sides, we know they are using their top guns. they are bringing out the biggest surrogates and bass what pins. they want to drive turnout and get people to the polls. is the crucial mid term. >> crucial indeed. thank you so much for standing by there. let's go to delaware. that is where president biden is expected to cast his vote a bit later today. he is pushing his economic message in the days before the midterms. we are joined live from wilmington. gary, welcome. the president can add to that story with a positive numbers out this week. right? >> they. yes. it has been a strongly for the economy with a 2.6% increase in the gdp. that is the gross domestic product. that is going to lower the fears of a recession. many americans already have fears of a recession. that is a day-to-day basis. voters -- i have talked to people on a biden rally, a trump rally. what they care about is how much things cost. all the able to afford dinner? how much is a cost of a tank of gas tomorrow

cory booker's been fighting for this. but people on the right have also been pushing for this.mace, tom mcclintock, americans for prosperity. people on the left like the justice round table. in other words, both sides agree it makes no sense to be clogging up the federal courts, clogging up any court system with these little ticky-tacky nonsense marijuana offenses. i think it's a very, very good thing he did. >> i want to read this tweet from republican senator tom cotton, who is a critic of criminal justice reform measures. it says, "in the midst of a crime wave and on the brink of a recession joe biden is giving blanket pardons to drug ochders many of whom pled down from more serious charges. this is a desperate attempt to distract from failed leadership." he is on the senate judiciary committee. what's your response? >> he never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity to be happy about something good happening for people. he is just terrible on these issues. but he is by himself. he's in a microscopic minority in this country. you ask most republicans should you be clog

but when he tried one time to embody actual power and pass a police reform bill, he helped with cory booker, he sat down to negotiate the bill. who undercut him and pulled the rug out from under him? his fellow senator from south carolina, lindsey graham. knifed him. went to the sheriffs and got that bill destroyed. because the thing is, it's fine for him to get up and smile and say, my family went from the fields to the senate. and wave nicely at the republican party. but even he, as somebody who is supposed to be an insider, is not allowed to wield power. they love clarence thomas, but it's only as clarence thomas is literally attacking the interests of black people. that makes him more popular. the more -- if he were to suddenly kind of try to represent a bit the interests of black people, you know what, you're now no longer in. you know, and i feel like there is sort of a demonstration of wanting to attack communities of color but needing a person that seems to be from the community to do it. >> and that's where the herschel walkers come in. to your point about politics, policy, and pow

. >> cory booker. >> he's corny. >> mayor pete. >> listen to yourself. >> from the producers of smilee. >> a super star who can go all the way. hillary. >> sometimes your best option. >> i'm with her, i'm with her, i'm with her. >> is the one you fear the most. >> there has to be someone. >> biden, maybe, are we back to biden. >> i like biden. >> so biden. >> biden's great, right? he's biden. >> 2020 part 2, 2024, coming in 2023. >> it's going to come back to biden. >>> coming up, democrats call in the closer with just over a week to go before the midterms. former president barack obama hit the campaign trail in hopes of slowing the perceived momentum for republicans. we'll play for you what he had to say. "morning joe" will be right back. to say "morning joe" will be right back when you're through with powering through, it's time for theraflu hot liquid medicine. powerful relief so you can restore and recover. theraflu hot beats cold. ever wonder why they call it the american dream... and not the american goal? derek jeter! ...or plan? maybe it's because in drea, you can do anything.
