cory booker, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, joe biden. it would be interesting to see who they are. after the on anything last couple of years, the list will change. some people who seem hot right now, who seem like front runners will not be a year from now. people that are not on our radar, members of the senate, will probably on the radar. it is interesting because they are sitting there, sometimes i find as i talked to oprah -- operatives in both parties, republicans don't understand democrats and democrats don't understand republicans. you have a bunch of republicans trying to guess how the democratic party is going to pick their nominee. they might not be the best situated to decide that. right now, it sounds like they have a vacuum cleaner and they are trying to download as much information as they can and they are trying, unsuccessfully, to get democrats to attack each other by highlighting some of the areas of this grievance. it does aid to pick up those scabs. frankly, she is talking about finance -- campaign finance. pushing dem

welcome to talking books at the man booker 50 festival here at the southbank centre in london.ve come to talk to dame hilary mantel, the only woman to have won the man booker prize for fiction twice for her bestselling historical novels wolf hall and bring up the bodies. her otherfiction may take you by surprise, with books about ghosts, the supernatural and the french revolution. the world, of course, eagerly awaits the next instalment of the thomas cromwell trilogy, the mirror and the light. hilary mantel, welcome to talking books. we will come to the mirror and the light in due course. but i want to start with the books you have written. you have written 12 novels, short stories, a memoir, and i was very struck by how very different they are — from 800 pages on the french revolution to performing psychics in suburbia, your subjects are unpredictable. how deliberate is that? it's not really deliberate, it's just i don't know how people manage to write the same book over and over again, because you grow and you change, and your interests change. although to me there are subter

for example, senator cory booker took missions from the insurance pac. where do they get their contributions from? from corporations. how pure was that pledge, cory, when you are taking contributions from the insurance pac, they're all really turn to fit themselves into what they think progressives will want in 2020. i think it is a good illustration of how the race for the left works. i think certainly in terms of issues, medicare for all -- this was a prominent bernie sanders proposal, which now we know from the mercatus center will cost us $32 trillion over 10 years. i mean, this is just like pretty extreme for most americans. but you know, you have bernie sanders out there with this proposal. 16 senators have signed onto it. almost all of the 2020 hopefuls have tried to hang their star on the proposal as well, so we see these issues, there is a demonstrable attempt to shed past associations with anything that might be considered establishment or mainstream, or even conservative. and, you know, a flagrant attempt to adopt a new position that is more l

corey booker was a moderate level-headed guy.d him at least a dozen times in washington. and this turn is, to me, an observation, indicative that really the ocasio-cortez, and the bernie sanders grasp on the democratic party has really almost fully co-opted it when cory booker is going down there. not just saying it any place he is saying at the net roots convention which is a driver of the political movement online. pete: they have gone and lost their minds because they hate trump so much. really, a lot of the reasonable people have been dragged so far left and also, i don't know, i think there is a lot of wonderful people, a lot of wonderful things being done in newark. but newark isn't a pair dis. this is where he was the mayor. where he was going to go fix things and democrats should be brought to task for what they have done to inner cities. where they have had one party power for decades and decades and decades. they haven't brought and improved the lives of a lot of americans. that's their fault. abby: we played sound last

senator booker? senator booker: good to see you here. mr. wheeler, i want to focus on epa's implementation if i can, and i'm pleased with the strategic plan the epa released to decrease animal testing. i hope this is an issue we can move together on working forward. i am concerned about how the epa is choosing to implement the changes that my colleagues and i in a bipartisan way worked so hard on last congress. you are probably aware of that. one area i am concerned about the epa's failure to consider all sources of exposure that people have to the toxic chemicals the epa has started to review. in our amended law, epa was told by congress to examine the safety of all known, intended, and reasonably foreseeable uses of a chemical, and the combined impact. when making the determination of whether a chemical presents the unreasonable risk of harm. epa's problem formulations have dramatically narrowed the conditions that the agency will use to evaluate the safety of the first 10 chemicals. epa is now indicating it will ignore known exposures to

cory booker has ties to -- capital previous he defended --. the senator has ties to corporate. issues in california and back on law-enforcement. of --ckground makes some problematic. you have a group that is largely taking the same position. a great example of this is the refusal to take corporate money. elizabeth warren was first. she declared early that she was not going to take donations from corporations. kiersten -- many moons later. come out with a very random facebook video. she says i am not taking corporate contributions. , his people must've been running to get a video camera together. he gets out there and says i will not either. saysrris is on stage and -- happens to be watching. we are watching this. and there was some laughter. she said well that depends. yet another moment for america rising. .e immediately wanted to action two weeks later he was forced to retreat and said no i will not do it. we have a group of people who are all of the same. presumably, on this issue. now it is get into the nuances of how serious are you on this issue? a good example of this is
