i wonder what you both think about this, whether both of these folks, chris christie and cory booker have such national platforms now that we can expect to hear a lot from them, no matter what happens in the 2014 race. >> i would think so. certainly what you saw chris christie's complement of the president during super storm sandy.oi then cory booker has been out there not just doing the national talk show circuit but also even in the comedy circuit. the two of them recorded a video playing off each other. the two of them have a big personality but also the big profiles. they're not going away no matter what they do. >> ifill: they're being watched. i don't know that cory booker is being talked about for president but certainly chris christie ise they're being watched very y osely by national figures. >> absolutely. chris christie topped the lists. of contenders that republicans would like to see run. his favorability rating especially post hurricane sanda is quite high in new jersey.eyou republicans would like to see someone who is a little more, i guess, not a southern governor. so

newark mayor cory booker will be joining us, but let's begin tonight as i really should begin almost every night, with an apology. we've had a bit of fun here over the years concerning what is commonly referred to this time of year as the war on christmas where a small band of 70% of the country have fought tirelessly for the right to openly celebrate the feast day of their lord's birth, to have a mass on that day honoring their christ, a mass christ, if you will. [laughter] now, we have poked fun at this, saying such things as, there is no war on christmas or you're [bleeped] crazy. [laughter] classic wit. that was before i realized what these poor folks have been going through. >> this is the thing about atheists, they bully other religions. >> they're trying to put their hands in my religion. >> it's about being intolerant to the nature of tradition in this country. this ends up being about bullies. >> they're being bullies. what are christians supposed to do? turn the other cheek. oh, oh, no, wrong jesus, my friend. >> there is a problem in america with the christian forces being

cory booker is determined to tackle it. the newark mayor is doing some pretty extraordinary this week, living off food stamps himself, just food stamps. he has just $29 and change for seven days' worth of food. this is what he bought. life-changing experience for him, what he sees as a wake-up call in all of america. he hasn't talked to anyone on camera after starting this but that changes tonight. joining me for an exclusive interview is mayor cory booker. welcome to you. why did do you this? >> you know, it actually started by a late night conversation over twitter with a woman who was pooh-poohing government's role in provision nutrition for kids. i shot back at her, we had a couple exchanges and finally i said why don't we both live on food stamps. i went to bed not thinking much of it and got up the next morning and it had spread through the social media world, and was a bigger story. i called my staff and said we're doing this. >> you were on day four of this. this is the exact pile of food that you got. >> yes. >> wh

cory booker, christiane amanpour, and others will join us. it got heated.al, "guns in america." cory booker, let's start with you. it just is heartbreaking. it's agonizing. you can't say anything to make it any better. what is the answer? >> first of all, this is not as rare as people might think. there is a virginia tech, so to speak, 30 to 34 americans die every day due to gun violence. what gets me most frustrated, i guess, is we all agree in america. in fact, if you look at gun owners, i work with a coalition of mayors called the coalition against illegal guns. a republican pollster polls gun owners and nra members and you get from 70% to 90% depending on the common sense issues we can do to make our country safer. let me give you one example. roughly 40% of guns sold in america are sold in what is called a secondary market, in other words, private sales where there's no federal registration at all. where people with criminal backgrounds, you could get someone on the terrorist fly list who can't get on a plane, but they can go to many of these secondary

comes down to the one basic need that we all take for granted food is exactly why newark mayor cory booker is trying to prove by taking on the snap challenge that he just finished today snap is the supplemental nutrition assistance program and with eight hundred fifty thousand new jerseyans on food stamps he thought it would be helpful to walk around and their shoes for a change so the challenge himself by pledging for one week on the same amount of money that the poor in this country are lauded by the government's food assistance program get this that's roughly four dollars and thirty cents a day you know the same amount that more privileged americans will likely spend on one latte from starbucks needless to say he's found to be more than challenging and even debated making a meal out of mayonnaise and salsa he's been blogging about it on linked in where he wrote quote this is hard but what has me profoundly humbled is that this is just a week just one week and then i'm done and can and will throw out burn food but millions of americans are living with food insecurity with worries and con

a lot of people have brought up cory booker's name. can any democrat in nrge win not named cory booker? >> i think so. i have talked to cory and i have spoken to other candidates that will be running and i think it is going be a spirited race. let's remember, that jersey is a democratic state. as you know, new jersey has not experienced the revival that we've seen in some of the states that are led by democratic governors. i would argue that a year in politics is a long time, no question we're running against someone who is popular. that can change. if we have a strong candidate that will continue to turn the economy in new jersey and move it more quickly, we think that we can do a better job in leading new jersey with a number of candidates that might run. >> let me ask you more broad liquor about the kind of voters you are going after. in a lot of key states it seems like people vote differently for governor than they do from federal office. there has been democratic governors of oklahoma and you mentioned montana who is a ret state.

cory booker, everybody is ambitious or least favorite.his week what a shock he's not going run for governor of new jersey in 2013. that would have been a kamikaze mission. he's committed to newark. even though he spenz his time in new york. >> i love cory booker. leave him alone. >> the one republican here loves cory booker. >> so now the big issue he wants to represent in 2014, he wants to run for president. 2014 you have a democratic, frank lautenberg who will be 90 in 2014. he's not said he's retiring. frank lautenberg made the biggest mistake he left the senate after three terms. he left the senate. he was miserable for two years he told everybody who asked the biggest mistake he ever made. he caught a break in 2002 when they put him back on the ballot. take a lot to get him out of there but booker could beat him. >> the e.r.a. the potential race that i'm excited about, sanford v sanford an i'm not talking about the 1891 supreme court case. i'm talking about mark appalachian trail sanford who is rumored to want to run for tim scott's

you have cory booker saying that he will run for u.s. with chris christie. >> he says he's going to explore the idea of running for frank lauttonber is not going to run. he's approaching 90 years old. so he says he's going to explore the idea for 2014. the big political news that you point out is, he is not going to challenge chris christie in 2013 for the gubernatorial contest. that would have been quite a fight between a very popular chris christie and a very popular new york mayor cory booker. that's not going to happen right now. i don't know who is going to run against chris christie. there are a few democrats out there. it's going to be a formidable challenge for any democrat after the sandy reaction. if cory booker decides to run after his exploration, he'll have a good shot of winning that race in a blue state like new jersey and he has al huge future ahead of him. he's a very smart guy. >> i always check your twitter page before we chat. you have john mccain on and that's a big deal since you have the zero dark thirty interview.

that's cory booker tomorrow night. it should be fascinating. that's it for us tonight. "ac 360" starts now. not trying to take sides. our goal is real reporting, finding out the truth. all calls out hip pock see. this is a baffling case of flip-flopping. this is a story we reported last night and is stranger the more we look into it. it's a long story, but stay with us. on tuesday the senate rejected a u.n. treaty aimed at protecting the rights of disabled people around the world. 125 other countries ratified this, but in the full senate 38 republicans voted no leaving the treaty five votes short of ratification. what we learned today that's interesting is some of these same senators actually supported the treaty before they voted against it. some even pledged their support very publicly. senator roy blunt of missouri was a flip-flopper and kay bailey hutchinson of texas and senator jerry moran of kansas. we asked them all to come on the program and they declined. they're silent on this. senator moran was a co-sponsor of the measure to ratify the treaty. he even put a p
