running but has a big constituency, kamala harris and the cory bookers you have that movement towards the left in the party, conor lamb very different face, almost a return to the clinton days of centerism. is that where the party is going? >> the party has to be smart and conor lamb's district, yeah, we need someone who has conor lamb's views in suburban philadelphia we don't. we can have more progressive candidates. look, interestingly conor lamb's campaign which has done a great job of not letting this become a nationalized election. they asked one national democrat to come in and campaign for them. only one, joe biden and he speaks to working class democrats as well as anybody does. >> you know, i didn't mention biden. should i have? do you think he's your best bet in 2020? >> i would love to see joe biden stand up and say this country is in trouble. i didn't think i was going to run again, but i'm running again. i'll serve one term. i won't care about what my favorable rating is. i'll do exactly what this country needs to turn it around.

i know cory booker is really great on this stuff. >> he has a million likes. i have like 12. i'm experimenting, yes. >> is the community helping you back home? that's the other thing. it's a two-way street. >> i think in the senate, we are probably, number one, cory and a few others who either run for president or are thinking about running for president are top five. i'm in the top ten in the use of technology, maybe six or seven. i'm not quite sure exactly where i am. the fact of the matter is that technology is another vehicle or conduit for the message. the question that we should start with is what is your message and who is your audience, and what do you want to communicate. my message is hope and opportunity. my agenda is called the opportunity agenda. we focus on educational choice, we focus on work skills, we focus on tax reform, we focus on one other issue that i feel like i'm up here -- what did i say? so frankly, the reality of it is as i look for ways to communicate those issues, technology becomes a primary driver of my communication. good news for me is i have

democratic senator cory booker from new jersey.enator, thank you for being here. >> ari, it's great to be on your show, thank you for having me. >> you say the evidence shows that that tax bill is bad for working people, it benefits the 1%. what is your evidence? >> it also doubles down on suppressing wages in america and unfortunately all the benefits going to the highest earners that creates more income stratification. since the bill has gone into effect, corporations have announced 200 billion on buy backs and only 6% going to wages, and that's part of a larger trend in our society, that shifted from when my dad was working and now when i am. back in the day, the ceos incentives were to do what's best for the long-term strength of their company. average stock holds are a year, now average stock holds are eight months. because you have active investments and you have the ceo not acting for the long-term, but -- >> let me see if i understand the point you're making because it seems profound, and there are those that are playing th

gina, i saw this over the weekend and by this morning we had cory booker coming on and saying that's not a good idea. gina: booker was saying we need a diverse pick. he did not specifically reference john williams. what's important to note is williams, while he has known big banks, he is the storied macro economist. he's also a white man and that is a concern because so much of this process is focused on diversity. looking at women and minority candidates. if you look at the state of available candidates, ardently one of the top jobs in central banking globally, happy do not find anyone but a white man for this position how far along are we in the selection process? gina: we are not finished here. we know john williams is a finalist on the short list. the board of governors in washington has been in communication with the new york fed about the process. hasch committee in new york not formally recommended a candidate to the board of governors in washington which means there is another important group to jump through before we get a final pick. david: there were some names listed that

i was talking to cory booker, your colleague, last week.u have a new measure that would stop companies ordering some of the gains from the tax trump bill. how would that work and why are senate democrats focused on this right now? >> well, i have to say, first of all, since we were promised the tax bill that the republicans brought forward would result in trickle-down benefits for the hard-working people of my state and the country, obviously we have seen that that is not the case. the benefits, 80% or more of which went to the top 1% and the biggest most powerful corporations are not trickling down. in fact, they are being invested back to profit and benefit the top in the form of stock buybacks. so back in 1980, the securities and exchange commission passed a rule creating a safe harbor for stock buybacks by companies. we've seen since that time profits or net income of s&p companies, for example, go from 2% of their profits to almost 60%. and we are not seeing the widespread benefits among the working people. i have a really good wiscons

president, i'm pleased to learn that senator cory booker, our colleague from new jersey, is the 73rd cosponsor of the fix nics background system bill that i've introduced and that i hope will be passed out of the senate soon. this bill is to fix the national instant criminal background check system, which if it had been working the way it was designed to would have caught the shooter at southernland springs, thus perhaps saving the lives of 26 people who lost their lives in that little baptist church outside of san antonio and 20 more who were shot and will suffer those wounds the rest of their lives. but today the news brought us the fact that apparently there had been a recommendation that nicholas cruz, the shooter in parkland, florida, that mental health professionals commit him for involuntary treatment. but apparently that never materialized. that was the recommendation but it never actually happened. if it had happened, his name would have, under the current law, been included in the florida upload of background check information that would have prevented him from legally buyi
