cory booker, did anybody mention cory booker today? nobody mentioned cory booker.id anybody mention nancy pelosi? >> a letter by coretta scott king. >> of course -- >> reading from some far some far left wacko -- >> she had a right to read that letter. >> hopefully, the white house realizes --o >> bill: the reason she didn't have the right to read the letter b is, if you allow a letter in by coretta scott king or anybody else, then you have to let them all. it is what they call "hearsay." third party. >> they let them read the letter later in the day. >> bill: there are rules that you cannot impugn -- word of the day, "impugn" -- the character of another fellow senator, which clearly she is doing by implying he was a racist. >> i think they led 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 you should not run away from. you should embrace. strom thurmond. you should embrace it as part if america's change

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.

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

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:

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

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

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

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

. >> democratic senator cory booker says he weird about the trump opposition burning out. >> there's just such a drumbeat of things to be outraged about. i often worry over these last two weeks about outrage fatigue because there seems to be multiple things every single day that deserve attention. >> now, booker isn't alone. in new york influential democrats at the epicenter of these protests as well as the issues that sparked them sat down with me to outline their strategy going forward. >> we have mr. chaos in the white house, somebody who is impulsive, somebody who is badly thought through, surrounded by people who are amateur hour. >> it's coming so fast, it's hard to stay focused on what to fight first. >> for democrats in congress, how much do they fight? do they fight every one of these things? >> i would fight not on the judge personally and keep focusing on the immigration. >> it's really, really important, the supreme court, particularly of those who have been fighting in the racial justice space. >> you condition only pick the fights you can win because that's based on bei

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

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

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

cory booker is still with us, he sits on the foreign relations committee which just had a hearing onsia. senator, i don't know your reaction to this news out of russia about putin's potential opponent being convicted of embezzlement or if you have a broader look at putin and the electoral system. >> well, vladimir putin has proven himself to be someone who has no respect for democratic traditions and we see what happens to opposition leaders in his country. they are poisoned, they are killed, or they have trumped up charges like this one appears to be. we had a hearing today which was probably one of the best notes of bipartisanship i've seen in these days since trump's inauguration where senator corker, a republican from tennessee, spoke with some conviction about the need to get to the bottom of the influences that putin has had in this country in terms of our electoral process which won republican senator likened to the cuban missile crisis in term of the potential of the gravity of the threat, but also trying to understand how we could have a president that makes a moral equivale

i don't think cory booker is not going to be heard. don't think bernie sanders' voices not going to be heard. the one thing that i can point to is a lot of the activity that you're seeing across the country is coming from outside the traditional constituency. there are more grass movements cropping up on their own. they are organic and using social media very effectively to come out for these town hall meetings which, you know, not only do some of the congress people kind of hide and run away from, it's exactly what president trump did. he canceled the rally in milwaukee, wisconsin, because he didn't want to face protesters and went to a very safe home base for them. it's fine if they want to make him feel good but you've got to keep reaching out to the other side. that's a good sign of what is happening on the democratic side right now. and i think you're going to hear many voices, leading voices on economic issues, issues around social justice and economic justice coming out of congress, coming out of some of the states where there a

you agree that there could be an impact, or do you think that really, when you hear from senator cory bookernew jersey, senator bob casey, pennsylvania, they were advising some lgbt members, for example, how to get their protests in line and make them effective. do you think there could be an impact? >> there absolutely can be an impact if they harness this energy. one thing that senator booker said was if you're for lgbt rights, you for women's rights. there 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.
