booker: i think it's sad. we should do what necessary -- what's necessary to protect the capitol and personnel, and i hope we go through the process of what is best to protect the institution, but isn't there a deeper problem and failure that's even necessary? shouldn't we be having a larger conversation as a country about how we prevent that necessity? that the biggest fears we have these days are protecting each other from each other? shouldn't we be convening a real commitment to national healing, and a revival of grace so that we don't have to continue to plunge into a society where these incredible points of light is smothered by barbed wire and fence? dr. thurber: so, this brings up a very sensitive topic, and that is when the capital was attacked, you were one of the last people to leave the senate for. -- center floor. and -- senate floor. and i've heard you say there was a man immediately behind you on the senate floor weaving a large confederate flag. it was shocking to. -- to you. what was your reac

. >> guest: i am fascinated by booker t. washington and his controversy with w e b du bois.washington came to be regarded as a sort of uncle tom and then i started looking at him and began quarreling about the idea he was such an uncle tom. i began thinking of him as a great guerrilla leader operating behind enemy lines, totalitarian white south, and booker washington made it work. he founded teske gi institute, teaching basic skills of farming and mechanics and so on with an effort to teach black people from the ground up how to be self-sufficient, how to build a black middle-class, solid, moneyed, black middle-class and because money was the american language nobody ignores any in the united states, nobody disrespects -- they may disrespect but fundamentally don't disrespect money and the achievement of money. his idea was let black people get money, build a strong solid from the ground up middle-class and w eb dubois came along and said no, that won't do. we need -- he was full of rhetoric and politics and made a lot of sense, but w eb dubois tradition, find on down the l

. >> we are joined now by democratic senator cory booker of new jersey. senator booker spoke on the senate floor earlier tonight opposing the objection to the electoral count in the state of arizona, which was technically what was in front of the senate at the time, but senator booker, what do you consider was at stake tonight in the united states senate? >> well, we have seen this. i began my remarks on the floor saying that this is the second time that a band of insurgents wanted to take our capitol. the first time in the war of 1812. this time was today. and what's at stake to me is our republic. we are now -- in a deep crisis. and we have a president in an unprecedented fashion aiding and abetting, i think, the destruction of our republic, fanning the flames of conspiracy and trying to hold on to power. in fact, back in the war of 1812 and now we see it both a despotic ruler who wanted to dominate our nation. and so, look, this is a time of mourning and a great pain in our country, and we have to find a way not only to reject this moment, but all thes

senator booker, thank you. >> thank you, always.ff: thank you, thank you. we appreciate it. jim fallows, it's fascinating to hear senator booker remind us there's history being made in the senate. georgia's first black senator will be sworn in this afternoon. raphael warnock. john ossoff, first jewish senator from the state of georgia. everywhere we look, history. >> and chuck schumer will become majority leader. have there been-- will he be the first jewish person in that job? i don't know. >> woodruff: i don't know. that's a good-- somebody out there i know is listening who has an answer. we'll have it tweeted to us or e-mailed to us any minute. separately, from all this that we're talking about, like vice president harris, activist and tennis legend billie jean king, also knows something about break glass ceilings, and she■ç joinss from palm desert, california. billie jean king, it is so good see you again. thank you for joining us. you're watching-- wuf been part of making history. what do you think about today as another day of

please welcome, senator cory booker!, or at least parts of it have. how are you doing? >> i'm doing well. i think -- honestly, i think most of us are feeling a lot of hurt and a lot of grief to see what our country has become. the capitol now, all the strength and the military and the presence, that's not a sign of success as a nation, that's a sign of weakness as a nation. and being on the floor of the united states senate when we were under siege and watching colleagues on both sides of the aisle have to flee the seat of power in the most powerful nation in the world, to see its elected leaders, its first branch of government to have to flee for their lives is really a defeat for our nation, and i think it's something that all of us should take very personally. >> stephen: you were in the senate with all the senators for the certification on janua january 6th. what was that experience like in that building that day? um, it was -- i think, for so many folks -- i still remember on the floor seeing staff members break out

tenant booker washington made it work.he found tuskegee ends and top the basic skills of farming and mechanics with an effort to teach black people from the ground up how to be self-sufficient, held to build a black middle class, and because nobody ignores money. nobody disrespect they may disrespect they fundamentally don't disrespect money. his idea was let black people get money. let them build a middle-class a strong solid from the ground up middle class. in web do boys came along and that won't do we need the talented tap that made a lot of sense on down the line to present day you find reverent out sharpton and people like that. a great deal of emphasis. i was interested and booker t. washington and so i started looking at his life. but he was all about. and that got me interested in the broader question of money in the moral dimensions of working out of american politics and life in general. >> this is in pennsylvania for our guests, good morning go ahead. >> caller: i just wanted to comment on the racial problems w

democratic senator cory booker joins me tonight. want to get your thoughts on some of the orders signed today, particularly having to do with housing discrimination which is something that you've been quite focused on. >> yeah, i mean, we've seen four years of the trump administration dismantling efforts to apply what was one of the great pillars of the civil rights movement, the fair housing act. and we know that we are a nation that has up until the '70s, had overtly racist policies from mortgage discrimination to red lining. and so for joe biden to come in and say enough is enough, we're rolling back toxic trump rules and implementing a full analysis of housing discrimination, and i loved what susan rice said when she announced it. she said this isn't just about getting justice and equality for african americans. she talked about the big gap between black and white homeownership. and the trillions of dollars it would bring to the u.s. economy if we were able to begin to close those gaps that exist. so i'm really proud of our pres

i'm joined by democratic senator cory booker of new jersey. and senator booker, there's so much on our plate as a country, so much on your plate at the united states senate. so, the first question, when should we expect this trial to start and be done with? >> well, i think to get technical off the bat, there's some frustrations about getting time lines set. you need the republican leader to cooperate in terms of time agreements, but i fully expect it to happen as quickly as possible, and i think what's also is going to happen is we'll do a lot of things at once. i think we should, if we can get the time agreements from our republican leader, we can actually hold impeachment trials as well as do other urgently critical things, like getting key national security personnel confirmed as well. >> is there -- it's interesting you say it that way. so, what you're saying is, this is an issue with the senate parliamentarian. this is mitch mcconnell. he is yet to agree on a timeline? >> you know, i talked again to senator schumer last night about the s

booker boo >> mr. vice president, i can only think of two times in american history that individuals laid siege to our capital. stormed are sacred civic spaces and try to over run and up and this government. one was in the war of 1812 in the other room was today. what is interesting about the parallel between the two is they both were waving flags to a sold sovereign, to an individual surrendering democratic principles to the cult of personality. one was a monarch in england in the other was a flag i saw all over the hallways and in this room to a single person in donald trump. the difference between these two times is one was he tried to challenge the united states of america. this time we brought thisupon ourselves. my colleague from texas said that this was a moment my colleague from texas said that this was a moment where there were unprecedented allegations of voter fraud. yes, that is true. they were unprecedented when the president before the election even said if i lose this election and the el
