booker t. washington said, if you want to lift up yourself, lift up someone else. i know frederick douglass would be talking to donald trump in the way that frederick douglass talked. amy: i want to thank you so much for sharing some history lessons with u us, kenneth morris jr. foununder and president of the , frederick douglass family initiatives. he is the great-great-great grandson of frederick douglass and the great-great grandson o f booker t. washshington. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. whwhen we come b back, we find out what happened in yemen. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: the late great paul robeson. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we turn now to yemen, growing questions were the first covert counterterrorism action approved by donald trump. the pentagon now acknowledges civilians were killed sunday when members of the navy's seal team six and commandos from the united arab emirates raided a yemeni village where members of al qaeda were said to live. initially th

so booker t. washington stood up at a speech when mckinley was speaking and pointed another there was, as he put it, a cancer growing in american society, and that as long as we were oppressing people in other countries would would then view with apathy the idea of doing that here a home. it bears know that the judge on the supreme court wrote the decision saying that it was constitutional for americans to rule people in other lands without giving them rights, also, voted for the decision in which the united states supreme court certified segregation as legal. so, it made sense, actually. there's a connection. you're saying that not everybody under american rule dough serve -- deserves the same rights as white people. >> host: roosevelt, makes his way to secretary of the navy with the help of lodge. they sort of blatantly maneuver their way up to the vice-presidency and you have roosevelt as vice president, and mark twain returns from overseas. he had originally supported dismiss then had the war

all of the gunmen who protect the bookers and who also hustled the various brothels. they arrest all of these people. of that night, they read-- they were supposed to read every brothel in manhattan. they actually end up only rating half of them it and no one knows why. they read half the brothels and the arrest over 800 women-- over a hundred women who are all brought to the building and crowded onto to force because they are all over the place. it is eunice's job as each one comes and she does was called tagging them and writes at the report and she's in an office somewhere and you have to understand in order to avoid any problem of corruption or the newsweek in outcome of the raid was a big secret. most of the assistance, dewey's own lawyers didn't know about the raids until they were happening. they were told to stay late because someone was-- everyone was there to do in take on people arrested. the vice squad, no one in the police vice squad was told about the rates. of the raids were conducted by plainclothes detectives drawn from a variety of euros from around

on the other hand it was interesting hear cory booker talking about if a feeg, there are just so manyhings coming at the opposition it's hard if you are a member of congress or someone out on the streets marching to know where to focus your energy and your attention. what do you think about what's been going on on capitol hill, which is so unlike anything we've seen? >> this is obviously unusual. let me just say this, i think we have to remain vigilant. and yes we are going to have to be strategic. we have to pick our battles but that doesn't mean we don't stop fighting. there are owe many things happening that are going to affect our every day live. these are going to be issues that are going to be important for so many people across the country. and we need to make sure that we are using our voices and we are out there and we are fighting and holding this administration accountable. and that starts with the cabinet members that we see that are coming through now. listen, i -- i have been supportive of some of them. and some of them i've been very clear, i cannot support because they

everybody with her money at her, cory booker, did anybody mention cory booker today?obody mentioned cory booker. did anybody mention nancy pelosi? coretta scott king. >> of course -- >> reading from some far some far left tobacco -- >> she had a right to read that letter. >> hopefully, the white house realizes -- >> bill: if you allow a letter read by coretta scott king or anybody else, then, you have to let them all. it is what they call "hearsay." >> they let them lead the read the letter later in the day. >> bill: there is rules that you cannot impugn the character of another fellow senator, which clearly she is doing by implying he was a racist. >> i think they let her right into the trap. >> i think it is off the mark. here is a senator who grew up in the deep south, who really had a checkered past in terms of the civil rights, a personal evolution, an arc, which i think he should not run away from. he should embrace it. strom thurmond. he should embrace it as part of america's change. >> bill: whether he is embracing anything, i don't care that it was 31 years a

just to be perfectly clear joining us now for the interview is senator cory booker. i know there's a lot going on right now. >> thank you for having me on right now. >> i know you said you will not vote for judge gorsuch. does that mean you will support an effort to filibuster his nomination to make it a 60-vote threshold to confirm him? >> i want to give my fellow democrats a chance to begin to go through his opinions like i've been doing and listen to his hearings but i want you to know that a 60-vote threshold is not something new for judges to have to go through. the senate has for a long time provided a moderating force to the passions of this country pulling people to the middle and the idea of a 60-vote threshold has helped presidents not put out judges out of the mainstream but put people that were. barack obama with merrick garland could have put a very liberal judge up but he didn't. he put somebody up that could appeal to moderate republicans that could have met that 60-vote threshold should he been allowed to get a hearing and an up or down vote on the se

let's bring in democratic new jersey senator corey booker. thanks for joining me. i know you want to talk about russia and we'll get to that. i want to talk about the two stories we covered. kellyanne conway, do you think she was breaking the law when she encouraged people to buy ivanka's cloelthing and are you satisfied hearing the white house counseled her? >> i pulled the law to see what the rule was. it says very explicitly that you cannot use your position to endorse merchandise or try to sell merchandise. it's clearly what she did. she clearly broke the law. but i think that there are, again, this is not a felony offense, and i think it's serious, but i think it speaks to a much larger issue which i think most americans should be very, very concerned about. it's the fact that we still are now two, three weeks ed into the presidency and donald trump has not removed himself from his businesses. there are serious conflicts of interest between him and the businesses now being run by his family members. and he clearly does not respect any line nor does he respect

tubman,ike harriet frederick douglass, booker t. washington, rosa parks, the greensboro students and the african-american medal of honor recipients. among so many other really incredible heroes. it is amazing to see. we did a pretty comprehensive tour. but not comprehensive enough so i will be back. because i could stay here for a lot longer. believe me. it is really incredible. i am deeply proud that we now have a museum that honors the millions of african-american men who built our national heritage, especially when it comes to face, culture and the unbreakable american spirit. my wife was here last week. and she took a tour. and it was something that she is still talking about. yvonne could trump is here right now. and it really is very special. it is something that, if you want to know the truth, it is doing so well that everybody is talking about it. i know president obama was here for the museum's opening last fall and i am honored to be the second sitting president to visit this great museum. etched in the halls that we passe

look at cory booker. last year jeff sessions was his good friend and pal and look. even if i'm doing something with a partner, if i think they're a racist, i'm not going to stand anywhere ever and say this is my good friend. cory booker did all that. and now he's coming in and pulling stunts like elizabeth warren. it's really pathetic. >> for all the time, you know, the left, my leftist colleagues spend critiquing donald trump for what they see as mistruth and mischaracterizing him, i think it's time to expose the mistruths of elizabeth warren. was he prosecuting hate when he prosecuted the hid of the kkk in alabama and advocated for the death penalty? was he advocating hate when he signed ten pleadings against segregation? or when he extended the 25 year of the voting rights act? attorney general cuccinelli could not be more correct. this is libel, and elizabeth warren should be exposed. and i hope she is the democratic nominee, because it will ensure donald trump another four years. >> it's totally absurd. for one thing, a racist, those are statements of opinion.

. >>> corey booker is coming to the university of pennsylvania. at least for one day. the school announcing that the u.s. senator from new jersey will give the commencement address at spring graduation. booker will also receive an honorary doctor of laws degree. >>> switching gears to the weather. a clear night around most of the area. >> nbc 10 was in center city where plenty of people are out and about. 60 at jfk. no sign of any precipitation in the area. here's nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist with your most accurate forecast. glen. >> yeah. we have a mostly dry pattern as we go through the next several days. visibility, remember, yesterday afternoon we had those snow squalls come through. nothing like that. 41 in will machinington. 20s in many other parts of the area, which is, again, fairly typical. even within the city of philadelphia why it's 37 at the airport. 2 in an doria, and 29 in chestnut hill. even inside the city different neighborhoods have significantly different temperatures. that's why we do this neighborhood weather stuff. you can see on the r

. >> let's go to senator booker. here is nbc hallie. i want you tory act to this. listen. >> we'll see you in court. it's a political decision and i look forward to doing. >> we have a situation where this security of our country is at stake. it's and very, very serious situation. we look forward to seeing them in court. >> do you think undercut early day of your -- >> this just case down. we will win the case. >> have you conferred with you're attorney general on this. >> no i haven't. >> how is it you find out about the decision. >> just like you did. >> via the news. >> decision we'll win in may opinion very easily. >> let go back to booker. we have a unique political situation, the attorney general who nomination you opposed is going to calling the shot. what do you make of his -- do you think he going to look out for the rights and fifth amendment due process concerns of the court? >> no. he anti-immigration he accepted -- they have been targeted as terrorists organization. this someone adamant about denying immigrants rights within this country. there are bip

william randolph hearst on the one side and mark twain, booker t. washington and andrew carnegie offered the prospectus. the debate gripped the nation and will shed some light on america today. it's my pleasure to welcome stephen and robin. [applause] >> here's an example i try to highlight. it's thrilling as we just heard reflected it is dispiriting in many ways including getting lost years ago but he is. in my family cemetery in oyster bay. let's get right to it. i don't think many people know about it you've got teddy roosevelt and richard kipling and william randolph hearst william jennings and andrew carnegie are doing. set the scene in the 18 hundreds was goinwhat was going on in th? >> all of my book projects were trying to uncover the stories as you point out it was a moment of great change in the united states if it was the year that we decided filling up north america wasn't enough and we would continue expanding and jump from being a continental empire to an overseas empire. so the story has been told many times but it's one i've never re

one thing that senator booker said was if you're for lgbt rights, you for women's rights.here are so many things, as nia said before, that folks are protesting -- the cabinet officials, the nomination of the supreme court justice. they've got to stay together. and democrats, you know, that's the line. they've got to stay together and put up good candidates and raise money. >> herding cats has always been a challenge with democrats. >> that's why i think the women's march was so effective, because that was not a one particular issue. it was broad base coalition. by the way, i was in dc. there were more people there than there were for the inaugural. [ laughter ] >> don't tell the president that. >> some alternative facts there. >> and don't think that doesn't irritate the president. and as long as this emphasis continues in a more broad front that, "a," he's a minority president. he did not win the popular vote. and we can turn our protests on a broad coalition of issues that are big, you know? >> but the protests, jim, i think, are more fun. people have to show up and vote

here she is, right beside booker t. washington. one of 10 women listed on this poster. in 1905,r was put out the very same year that maggie walker moves into this home. asshows you that she was early as that being recognized for the work she was doing in the community, particularly because she started the saint ,uke penny savings bank in 1903 and becoming the first african-american woman president of a chartered bank. that wasn't the only thing she did through the order of saint luke. again, writing, reading. goes right forth into becoming the editor of the newspaper, "the st. luke herald," which became the organ for the people in the organization to communicate with each other. i like to think of her sitting at this death straight we have photographs of her sitting at reflectingriting and most likely in this very room. mrs. walker would have folks gather, and they would come here to visit with her. place you could gather would be right in the dining room. there very fortunate that houses come to the national park service through mrs. walker's family. her daughter-in-la

so when booker t. washington gives that speech and it gets so much fanfare, you know, tourgee's like, okay, we're just going to have to go with this now, all right? there's not much more i can do. let's get this to the supreme court and roll the dice. okay? so we talked about how he tried to use his journalistic background to influence the public opinion. but it didn't happen. okay? so it comes -- the arguments come before the court in april of 189 j6 and those are the justices on the court at the time. tourgee was not alone. he had two other lawyers that argued the case with him. one was a local new orleans attorney and the other one had experience in front of the supreme court. so, their argument was that seg guer segregation of the railroad cars was part of the state police powers. again, what we said before. you know, these separation of the races was a good thing, okay, it was good for the public good in their opinion. okay. what do you all think about it? what about your opinion? >> i believe it

here she is, right beside the critique washington -- beside booker t. washington. one of only ten women on this poster. the poster was put out in 1905, the very year she moved into this home. it shows you that she was already being recognized for the work she was doing in the community, particularly because she started the st. luke penny 1903, thusk in becoming the first african-american woman president of a chartered bank. that was not the only thing she did through the order of st. luke. reading, going forth to become the editor of the newspaper, "the st. luke h erald," which became the oregon for people in the organization to communicate with each other. so i like to think of her sitting at this desk -- we have photographs of her sitting at and most writing veryy reflecting in this room. mrs. walker would have folks gather, and they would come to visit her. the place they could gather was right in the dining room. we are very fortunate that the house comes through the national park service there mrs. walker's family. her daughter made a point of preserving the h

booker: thank you very much. so i'm really honored to be able to join my colleagues, three of whom themselves are some of the greatest voices in my opinion in the united states on issues of the environment, issues of protecting the health and safety of our communities, senator merkley, senator whitehouse, senator schatzs. i'm grateful to be able to stand with them, joining them in a chorus of conviction about our opposition to the nomination of scott pruitt to serve as the administrator of the environmental protection agency. the e.p.a. is a critical federal agency. it was established through an executive order by president nixon and charged with the protection of human health and the protection of the environment. given the pressing health issues and environmental challenges we face in our nation, and frankly the growing environmental challenges around our planet today, we should make sure that we are confirming an administrator who has a conviction for the protection of the health and safety of people, that he

sessions, but not long ago he was arm in arm with sessions or cory booker was supporting betsy devosith herrinnishtives with -- initiatives with school choice and charter school, right now they see a progressive socialist movement that has taken over the democrat party that is seeking undermine the peaceful transition of government in the u.s. of america. liz: always great to have you on the show, we love having you on and thank you for your service. >> but, liz. liz: peter barnes with the latest on this decision, she in dc . reporter: we have from a spokesman. from u.s. court of appeals, that the 9th circuit in san francisco, will release a decision one way or another. on whether or not to left the stay on president trump's temporary travel ban that affects those 7 countries. and a spokesman for the court, said that order, to inform you that an order will be filed in this case before the close of be today, that means, close of business in san francisco is 5:00 there. 8:00 eastern time, we're standing by for the decision to come out sometimes in the next within the nextly hours. liz:

people like myself and cory booker would be a loud when they did not simply vote to serve powerful legislative bodies in the world today. th those that are listening to the conversation that's where i believe i'm still going to be black. and african-american. wisdo god in his infinite wisdom born in charleston south carolina for a purpose. and they've suffered difficult and challenging time for the issue of race. they were very different to south. when i went under his experiences of having to step off of the sidewalk when white folks were coming. he learned never to look a white person in the eye. he was in his 40s and 60s. separation, segregation, humiliation. it's when the war began it was in my home city where nearly 40% of all the slaves would come through charleston south carolina into this lake charles tony an who came up with the concept written into the constitution three fifths of as. man. also in 2010 they had the choice between strom thurmond's son and a young african-american guy. the evolution that occurred in the south can be seen very clearly on this day in charleston. it was o

last night when we showed you a live picture, it was cory booker of new jersey talking.his is not tape from last night. he hasn't been talking this whole time but he is back up talking in front of the u.s. senate. last night the target was education secretary of state betsy devos had j that is the the are nicole, heidi and charlie still with us. what happened on the senate floor tonight involving liz wet warren and the late coretta what happened on the senate floor tonight involving liz wet warren and the late coretta scott king? >> it sounds like she's saying she was essentially silenced, booted by the ladder ship that. >> i'll tell you, brian, the reason why democrats feel embolden in doing what in terms of their progressive base, it's just going to make the whole situation that much more problematic and make democrats feel embodened in terms of pr and nicole, it is so toxic since everything sells moving at the speed of light? there is usually staff turnover. first year, first two years, maybe the joke 4 if you're light ient. you could argue either way whether what was

in response to epa nominee scott pruitt senator cory booker posted his floor speech. hawaii's senator post this shot of series of hash tag memes. earlier this month republicans stopped elizabeth warren from presenting an opposing view of then attorney general nominee jeff sessions from coretta scott king. >> i'm surprised the words of coretta scott king are not suitable for debate in the united states senate. >> so she logged on to facebook live. >> i just want to read the letter. >> used to be just the moment on the day of the hearing is what people paid attention. now you have this after effect. the unflattering clips. it really is a full cycle that's what the nominees have to kind of weather. >> after president obama's inauguration in 2009 republicans stepped up their social media game as well. beginning a year's long messaging competition with the white house. >> president made an outstanding choice. >> both parties are seeing more followers. they are sharing talking points on more platforms than ever. but also adding into the plethora of false information. >> jus

i mean, president was for charters, at least he said he was, bill clinton, cory booker was for charter schools, the senator from new jersey voted against betsy devos. >> right. >> are we in danger here of the school choice movement becoming a partisan issue, republicans for it, democrats against. >> it is a concern and one that a lot of us are looking at, the reality is washington has always been partisan about school choice. by the way, let's remind ourselves, this is where issues play out. she can be a leader, great advocate publicly but the focus has to be on rolling back all of those regulatory burdens that washington is has impose over time on schools and letting states and communities do what they do best which is enacting programs that we are talking about right now. >> from k-12 at least that education system, her main role is bully -- >> exactly. >> how much progress have we made in the last 12 years? >> many of us don't bereave we have made enough progress. we have to remember that for 30 years we have actually rewound and education system that took 150 years to build. the fa

one of those was cory booker of new jersey. here is what he had to say. >> the department of education has to be led by someone who takes this seriously, who sees the call for justice of lesbian, gay and transgender youth as valid. to see the crisis and sees the problem. it was widely reported when mrs. made,s nomination was that her family had given support, significant support that she herself, to discriminatory, extremist, dangerous and hateful groups that promote ideas that say a child who is gay is somehow lesser than a child that is not. groups that have supported things like conversion therapy, something that has been resoundingly condemned. dangerous ideas that are hurtful to children. with all of that, with all the articles written, this was a chance for mrs. devos to set before the american public, knowing that these concerns are out there and it is understandable, even if she does not hold them, it is understandable that this was a moment for her to allay the fears of the thousands and thousands of children who are b

you touched on cory booker. do the leaders sucomb to just to be cool and hip? or do the next generation of leaders find themselves inspired by others? they are willing to sacrifice an election because principally this is the point we have to make? >> when people ask me about this book i say it is part profiles and courage meet the book of virtues. both of those books inspired me because they do exactly what you say. they call us to something higher. sacrifice. michael, the lines are blurred now. i don't think there is right and wrong anymore. in my household there is, in your household there is, but in the country we blurred the lines. 25 years ago we didn't talk about gay marriage and transgender people. that is squarely on the table. the thing i don't like as an american and i feel under assault as christian and a person who is more conservative and who has guns that if i believe in something and i say it i get attacked because i won't go with the whole rest of the crowd. that is problematic for me. i see us eroding ourselves more and more and more to becomin

protests let's take a live look at the senate floor, you can congressman corey booker, virginia tim kaine taking the 3:00 a.m. time slot. we talked to him earlier about this process. >> on any nomination, we're entitled to have 30 hours of debate. a day and a half. one day and six hours. this is a big important position. i don't think there's anything more critical to the nation's economy than how we educate our kids. it's good for it's a matter of economy. we decided to take our full 30 hours of debate and the majority, it's their right to say if you're going to do that we're going to make you do it overnight. 30 hours consecutively >> the votes appear to be grid locked. if that is the case, the tie breaking vote goes to vice president mike pence. he has said he will vote to confirm betsy devos. >>> panda fans listen up. you're running out of time to visit baobao. they tweeted the three-year-old will move to china on february 21st. part of the zoo's deal with china wildlife conversation association. all cubs born have to move to china by the time they turn four. baobao turns four in augu

with me are susie boniface, columnist at the mirror, and michael booker, the deputy editor of the expressw's front pages, starting with. .. the daily express, which campaigned for the uk to leave the european union, is injubilant mood and it's summed in its headline: "now we're on our way out of the eu". the daily mail also backed brexit and calls the government win a crushing vote. it has the statue of winston churchill on the front page. the metro is more neutral in its tone on its front page "brexit begins". the 'i" says britain has taken a step into the unknown and we face a bitter fight with brussels over a £50 billion divorce settlement. the times reports that tory mps are threatening to rebel over brexit u nless threatening to rebel over brexit unless theresa may guarantees the right of eu citizens to stay in britain. according to the guardian, labour has its own problems, with a fifth of mps defying jeremy corbyn and voting against the triggering of article 50. we will put up the front pages of two of the leading brexit newspapers, you could say. the daily mail, there it is. and t

my good friend, cory booker, last night spoke about a true american hero, john lewis. and john lewis is an american hero. i know that this may or may not be popular with everyone in the chamber or everyone in america on the conservative side or the liberal side, but the reality of it is simply this. he was beaten within an inch of his life so that i would have the privilege not to stand in the chamber, but to vote, to simply vote. we should all thank god for the sacrifices of men and women so that people like myself and cory booker and kamala harris would be allowed one day not to simply vote, but to serve in the most unique, powerful and one of the most important legislative bodies in the world today. it is a sacrifices of men and women of color who fought against injustices. i stand, we stand as a nation on the shoulders of these giants. and i know that i don't have to remind my mother or my family, but just as a reminder to those who are listening to the conversation that when i leave the united states senate one day, i'm still going to be black, an african-american

quite well after betsy devos is a vote last week that like booker does not really want to be ceding any ground whatsoever to trump right now, it's more of a blanket opposition. when you see the types of criticisms of mnuchin, he is rich, entrenched inside of wall street, it is not quite as policy-based, it is associate based, based on what he has done in his past work. i think that is why we will see some ally him be able to sneak past the confirmation process, maybe a closer vote here, but it's not going to be for lack of policy chops or credentials or qualification, just some political opposition from the left because of associations moving forward. >> jon: interesting, too, prime minister trudeau has had kind of a rocky few months at home. he has been criticized in the press there, and he is meeting with a new president who may be his political opposite, but both men have taken some slings and arrows from observers in the media. >> both of them certainly have had better approval ratings, trudeau's below 50% for the first time since he became prime minister in january, and he was

cory booker lost last night. >> we can talk about presidential politics, but the fact that 5 million people downloaded this and this is going to be a discussion shows it was a mistake. maybe mcconnell did it on purpose but it was a mistake, and the reality is we are talking about jeff sessions and people are going to read the letter and it's not going to help his argument. >> i am guessing those 5 million people, none of them voted for donald trump. >> i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. i don't think so. >> i have to move on, and i am sorry for cory booker from my home state of new jersey. >>> we have to go to msnbc's kristin welker at the white house while we are waiting for president trumps to start speaking about a mile away. >> reporter: we are getting a preview from the president himself and from his top administration officials. first, what the president is saying. he tweeted earlier this morning, i will be speaking at 9:00 a.m. today to police chiefs and sheriffs and will be discussing the horrible dangerous and wrong decision. presumably there he is talking about a low

take a listen to senator corey booker on our air tonight. >> this is a good day for the united states of america because we're asserting continuing to assert the reality that donald trump doesn't seem to want to accept and not above the law, he can't just uncheck, do bans like this. ultimately in my opinion make our country less safe and not more. >> evan? >> yeah. well i think senator booker's correct and seem to be in the period of the president getting a hands on, on the job civics training. which, of course, we would hope that any president would have before taking office. but with regard to whether republicans in congress will turn against president trump any point, i think it has more to do with where their constituents are and as long as you have 80% or 90% of republican voters supporting donald trump, that's going to take leadership and courage that candidly i haven't seen, you know, i haven't seen on display from many republican members of congress. there are some great exceptions. don't get me wrong but i think as long as the politics are challenging in that way, especially
