new york's mayor, cory booker, how are you? >> i'm doing great.hank you for having me. >> in your experience of things, how much is going on right now in terms of this impasse between republicans and democrats is political and how much of it is actually about an ideology involving how to deal with the finances of this country? >> i can't say i know the hearts and minds of the congress people in the federal government. it's frightening and scary what's happening. i never could have imagined those four words, full faith and credit of our country would get to a point that's being challenged the way it is now. politicians, you can list-inch to them. i prefer to talk to experts, banks and businesses all very concerned because this will have catastrophic implications. i pray people aren't playing a dangerous short term political gain that will have long term profound economic impact on our country. i really pray people are focused on the mission to preserve the strength of our nation economically. >> the problem, it seems to me in terms of politics we a

money expert dave ramsey and cory booker. america in the balance. this is piers morgan tonight. good evening. if someone doesn't do something in 19 days and three hours, this country will technically run out of money. simply put, the government won't be able to borrow any more cash if congress and the white house can't figure out a way to raise the debt ceiling, which currently stands at a mouth-watering $14.3 trillion. the situation is so dire, moody's, the bond rating service says it's putting america's gold rated aaa status under review and could be headed for an unprecedented default. who's to blame for the stalemate? deval patrick believes republicans are primarily at fault. he joinings me now. why do you say that? why do you think the republicans are at fall. you guys are in the white house, aren't you? >> thank you for having me. this is a time we need a lot less politics and a lot more patriotism. what the president has done is put on the table a very balanced approach. it favors and is overwhelmingly weighted in favor of cuts, some to programs that democrats have champi

only from aveeno. >>> back with mayor cory booker. mr. mayor, the big problem in america is you have 9.2% of the population out of work. in a simple way, what is the most effective way that you have seen to get them back to work or the best plan that you've heard? >> first of all, this is the thing we have to get out of the habit of. america is looking for simple solutions to complicated problems. there's not one light switch. we have an intelligent enough population to understand that. any politician that wants to sell some simplistic answer like just give tax cuts to rich people and that will benefit our economy, we have to get away from that. we are nuanced enough as a nation to understand the complexity of our challenges and we need leaders to tell us that. let me go through a few things i think are difficult but important. number one, we can't shirk on education in this country. we will never ever in a global knowledge-based economy, never have a leading economy if we have a lagging education system. america is in dramatic fashion fa

wasn't just in the case of president obama there were a number of races as you know including cory booker's race in new jersey when he ran for mayor the first time he got start james arthur davis as a race when he ran for congress for the first time he was actually he's actually a law school classmate of president obama's but all of these these young up and coming black elected officials were approximately around the same age although most of the personal rights generation in their early political careers they faced off against older african-american candidates who have lived through segregation lived through the civil rights movement and you sort of seem to be peddling this idea that if you had not experienced that if you hadn't figured that then you weren't going to have the right perspective politically speaking to leave african-americans effectively and so. part of why president obama's race is so important is because it firmly established that you did not have to come from that era you did not have to you can't came specifically on that to be effective and not only winning african-amer
