many people expected black women to support cory booker or kamala harris. >> well, let me break it down and kamala are fine, but if i'm completely honest, they've got a bit of an image problem. cory is nice but he reminds you of the cousin who's a tattletale. even when no one asks, snitching for the love of the game. and kamala looks like a mean vice principal. she just comes up, like, dulce, i want what's best for you, which is why i'm giving you detention. corrie, thank you for coming right to me! >> trevor: it doesn't explain why black women go for someone like elizabeth warren. she's arizonaed specific issues black women have, reparations, the black mortality rate. >> younger black women will probably go for elizabeth warren, but older black women go for biden because if biden becomes president, then obama is back in the white house. ( cheers and applause ) ah! ha ha! ha ha! >> trevor: wait, wait, but that's not true. obama can't be president again. >> who said anything about president? if joe biden wins, he's going to invite obama over for dinner, and where's dinner? >> trevor: the

melissa: 2020 presidential hopeful cory booker downplaying president trump's impact on the economy claimingserves credit for the economy. larry kudlow firing back. >> what mr. booker and others are saying is not true factually. potus's policies, to be honest his policies entered us into a tremendous prosperity cycle jo let's bring in dan henninger from "the wall street journal" and fox news contributor. i wonder if cory booker does numbers at all? if you look any of the data came out of federal reserve, st. louis federal reserve the recovery was slowest on record. if you look at the gdp numbers, the economy was stalling in the last year of president obama's administration from 2% growth to 1.9, 1.8. it bounced right back when president trump came into office. disparity between rich and poor grew dramatically wider under president obama. that has closed while the president has been in office. stop me anywhere. what do you think? >> that takes care of cory book ear's argument economically. politically what is the upside? there is one set of numbers he understands pretty report, he needs 65,00

listening to the senator from new jersey cory booker also one of the candidates has already declared for its run for president united states putting questions to bill maher very blunt saying that he thinks that the attorney general's credibility has been called into question also referencing specific things in the report that the attorney general seem to not really be familiar with documentation incidents more than two hundred incidents of the truck campaign having some sort of connection contact with someone trying to get information to them from russia so the questioning will continue will continue to keep an ear to that for you as well as this continues in the senate. forces loyal to libyan war likely for tar have to take into turkish nationals. in mare were taken from southern tripoli and accused of being spies that's a charge that turkey into a nice on monday turkish president. described popstars advance towards tripoli as a plot against libya's people because hello has more from istanbul. turkey have been residing in libya for a while and they have been working in a restaurant

now it's the 2020 presidential race so booker has recast himself as the victim poor cory booker. is supporters are lashing out at pete buttigieg who is ahead of booker in the polls. buttigieg is winning because he has more privilege than bucker. this is how the modern democratictu party works. in march he said beto o'rourke's popularity was because, you guessed it, racism. >> why beto o'rourke and not andrew gill lamb and stacey abrams as the darling of thehy media? >> i don't think that success is zero sum so i don't want to i disparage or take away from thehe reaction and the legitimate response people had to his campaign. i do want to call to question and i would challenge people toan consider why we were not lifted up in the same way. i think race plays a part of it. >> another graduate of yale law school. they all went to yale law school. richie i don't know if you went to yale law school the head of the democratic party in georgia he joins us. good for you. i'm glad. did i not. i have mixed feelings about this. i have got to throw it out there. it's a little weird the party

it would be interesting to know why cory booker believes that.nd most of the democratic candidates come he refuses to come on the show, so we can't ask him directly. but we would love to know what he makes, for example, of the abortion rate in black america. african-american women are five times as likely to get abortions as white women in the united states. what does cory booker think of that? is it something to celebrate? should we be fighting to get the abortion rate even higher? what about sex-selective abortions? they are common, are they morally? is it right to abort a baby if you know what was going to be gay, or short, or prematurely bald? thanks to a genetic testing, and he abortion under any circumstances that is ever bad or even a little bad, or are they all morally neutral? no matter what the cause or stage of pregnancy? those are the most basic questions about abortion. nobody on the other channel ever asks them. that is a shame. the answers would be fascinating. mollie hemingway is a senior editor at "the federalist," and she joins

senator cory booker could easily imagine it.ike mazie hirono, booker has no children of his own, but he is fervently committed to abortion, so committed to it thatit if elected, cory bookr has promised to create something called the white house office of reproductive freedom. the only point of the office would be to ensure that we have enough abortions in this country. cory booker believes that abortions are a vital strategic resource, like oil or uranium. it would be interesting to know why cory booker believes that. like most of the democratic candidates, he refuses to come on the show, so we can't ask him directly. but we wouldo love to know what he makes, for example, of the abortion rate in black america. african-american women are five times as likely to get abortions as white women in the united states. what does cory booker think of that? is it something to celebrate? should we be fighting to get the abortion rate even higher? what about sex-selective abortions? they are common, are they morally okay? is it right to abor

right now in the nation's capital amy klobuchar and cory booker is making their pitch.ali is in d.c., garrett haa haake? iowa. ali, what pitch did the democratic contende ten make - n contenders make to the union workers? >> reporter: amy klobuchar just finished up. this group will eventually endorse in the 2020 contest doing something where their members are going to decide and inform the decision of the overall unions. that is something to keep in mind as we continue down this process. but today, it was as much a pitch about how they will help unions as how they ccan electabe overall. amy klobuchar leaned in to her electoral history saying that she was able to win in red and blue counties in her senate races and that having someone powerful at the top of the ticket can also help democrats down ballot. cory booker on the other hand love and morality have been the guiding forces of his candidacy. that was the lens through which he framed his elect ability argument here. listen to how he talked to union workers one of whom when he tried to make the argument republicans a

it's interesting because cory booker as the mayor of newark, new jersey, was knowto be in favor, andhis was back in an ouearlier erremarks could say, but there's an interesting divide going on bween some of daunts going on over this. >> there's an interesting divide between cory booker now and when he was the mayor of newark. he has not embraced arter schools now as a candidate and senator as he did when he was a mayor.s in part, t is a reflection of an evolution in democratic politics about education and their views especially o charter schools. one reason for this is that a key constituency for democrats are teachers, articular teachers unions. they're some of the remaining very powerful us in america, likeeachers unions do not charter schools. >> woodruff: amy, you talked last week to the head ofhe a.f.t., the american federation -- >> it was fascinating and id said to h democrats at one point were embrace ago lot of these reforms. this was going on during the clinton administration, cory booker in newark, in obama administration with arne duncan as part of the department of educa

cory booker's number, steve kornacki, if i'm not mistaken, fairly reliable poll out of south carolina recently. he was -- almost double that with black voters. are his numbers, is there an inverse here? between visits and at his polling? because seems as if more than often he visits the palmetto state the poorer he does with black voters? >> struggling nationally, to differentiate himself in the field. overall booker at 4% here. again, look at the number among african-american voters running at 5% here now. look, i think when you look at a cory booker in a race like this, maybe even kamala harris doing a little better, the other candidates who early on at the beginning of this race said south carolina might be a strong state for them. one of the things somebody like booker needs, think back to barack obama in 2008 when he won south carolina overwhelmingly. that race turned when barack obama won iowa. won the leadoff iowa caucuses. beat hillary clinton there and all of a sudden he jumped way ahead in south carolina and won the state by almost 30 points. a lesson. if you can show viabil

pressure to move to appeal to the base in order to win the primary. >> harris: i'm listening to cory bookerit's 1% booker. that's true. so you look at this. how is impeachment going to get you out of 1 percent land? >> i don't understand it. i think it's not a smart move. they all have strategists telling them it's smart. if i were their strategist, i'd say no. >> harris: i want your reaction to this. tom tillis in north carolina says impeachment calls are all about the politics for 2020. watch. >> this is clearly politics, fund-raising and presidential campaign politics. cory booker tried the same tactic against brett kavanaugh in the supreme court hearings. they put out baseless allegations and tried to keep that story alive. didn't go well for them. had a sparticus moment. they're trying to do the same thing again. there's no collusion. there's no obstruction. mueller didn't produce anything new today. we need to move on. >> harris: booker, i'm sparticus. sparticus had more 1% support. >> look, i think the democrats pursue impeachment at their own peril. not just with swing state voters.

cory booker lives in the inner city of newark. kind of carnage has been going on for the 20 years he's been living there. he fought against it as mayor. he 'very passionate about it. one thing are certainly if better be one you feel deeply about, and hi clearly feels deeply about this. >> when you look at past presidential races, democratic candidates have largely, to some extent avoided talking about gun control. they didn't sigh it as a winning issue. that set, at the same time many have arranged to be photographed on hunting trip, to prove that they know how to carry a shotgun, then president obama, the white house released this photograph of him skeet shooting at camp david in response to some criticism. are you seeing a shift from that? >> this has been a third-rail issue. president clinton passed an assault weapons ban, and there were a lot of democrats that felt it helped cost them the house in 1984, but since then there has been a shift. you can see it in polling, but you can also see it among particular groups of voters,

cory booker's message of love falls flat.n this country are angry and they're angry at president trump. does your kind of nice guy approach in tune with where the base of the party is? >> i think you're misunderstanding that to be strong you don't have to be mean. to be tough, you don't have to be cruel. we're here in south carolina on a historically black college, historically black university where some of the greatest strength was shown through civil rights activism where people didn't raise a fist. we didn't beat bill connor by bringing bigger dogs and more powerful hoses. you beat demagogs by expanding the moral machination of the country, bringing people together to overcome them. i had a guy when i walked into a town hall put his arm around me and said i want you to punch trump in the face. i looked at him and smiled and said, hey man, that's a felony and us black guys don't get away with that that often. the reality is trump wants us to fight him on his terms. he wants us to pull our party down. we will not succeed by

but i have seen him on the stump in iowa are a couple of times and cory booker is great on the stump,s almost like a church revival, he has people clapping and cheering, on the edge of the seats, that doesn't come across, like when he was a keynote speaker at the 2016 convention, on the big stage, but in a place like iowa where it is a lot about retail politics, i think you may see him start to make some ground. it'sjust a question of money and getting the facetime. but put him on a big stage, you may see him make a move. great to hear your reporting. great to hear these tales, we wouldn't have known about cory booker, great to hear how good he is on the stump. the other thing we were talking about before the programme, the issue of winning is very important, something your healing —— like hearing from all the candidates, that you are not hearing in the american election two and a half yea rs american election two and a half years ago is the issue of climate change, they all have policies on it, particularly for some of the younger voters and younger candidates themselves, climate cha

that is something 2020 democrats are having to respond to including cory booker are going about it by arguing president trump shouldn't be taking credit for the economic success. >> i love trump is taking credit for the recovery that started under obama. the substance of the a comic, who will it work for? we have a tax plan working on giving the wealthiest more of a break. with make sure it's a shared recovery because now it is not? reporter: clearly the economy will be a key issue in the 2020 election, something president trump has made a focal point of his administration and as for his nominee to lead i.c.e. it will require senate confirmation. no details on when they may take place. back to you. leland: as garrett pointed out the president and his team went you focusing on the economic numbers. it take a listen to the white house is instagram -- presidents instagram from yesterday >> wow, low unemployment , high jobs, high wages, big consumer confidence, major productivity and no inflation. it's totally awesome here we are killing it on the economy. leland: and he is here with us r

and what was particularly surprising to me, also, about this poll is where cory booker is.booker has to either win or finish in the top two or three for, in order to legitimatize his campaign and go forward to super tuesday. the fact that he's polling around 4% is really surprising to me. you know, he's probably not going to do very well in a state like iowa or new hampshire, but south carolina is a state that he has to do very well in. so joe biden's got to be feeling really good today. it's early, but these polls do matter and they do show that institutional baseline support that candidates need to go forward. >> yeah, you know, steve rattner, a lot of people love the talk about how these early polls don't matter and it makes them feel special. it makes them feel like, well, it's early, yeah, well, you all are just pundits that are involved in a horse blah, blah, blah. it's so tiring and they're so wrong. but it makes them feel smart. and so i'm happy when i hear them say that. the fact of the matter is, when you have 45 people running for president and one gip sitti g pr

and we talk strategy with cory booker. and the milwaukee bucs co-owner is here to talk trump, taxes and the divided politics of sports. lots to cover. >>> welcome to saturday night politics. i have an amazing group here. i'll introduce them in a second. first i want to establish for our audience my relationship with trump. i go way back with him. we didn't know each other as kids but we grew up in queens and went to wharton and went into our father's business and then we were friends and business associates for 20 years. he came on my show four or five times for an hour. i lived in one of his buildings. our kids went to the same school and we used to be friends. i sometimes even like to have an olive branch to my no longer friend, so what i did for mr. trump, i built a wall. that's right. you got a wall. it's our political wall. it's how we go through the week's stories. think of it as our fourth guest. will willie geist, thank you for being here. >> i wouldn't miss it. >> you come here, one of the big guys here. >> come o

move was made to, quote, send a clear and unmistakable message to the iranian regime. >>> senator cory booker the democratic presidential nomination. this morning, booker unveiled his new plan to prevent gun violence in the united states. it calls for a national gun licensing program to keep guns out of the wrong hands. his plan would also ban assault rifles, limit handgun purchases to one a month and close loopholes that allow abusive partners to buy guns. part of our series the road to 2020, senator booker joins us first on "cbs this morning" to reveal the details of his plan. good morning, senator. we should mention that gayle is good friends with the senator and has supported him in the past. >> why should we mention that? >> my cory booker t-shirt is at home. >> we have gotten that out of the way, tell us, what do you think of the news with respect to iran? >> i worry about the policy you have with iran, president pulled out of an iran deal, turning his back on our allies, has done things that has created in my opinion more dysfunction in the region, tweeting out you'll pull troops out o

however, i think that holding cory booker up as an example of the left wing of the party right now isir to this field of 22 cory booker ise he is looking for areas in which he can distinguish himself, set himself out of the pack. he is having trouble raising money. i don't think this is where the democratic party's. the party -- and, by the way, most americans are in favor of sensible gun control restrictions, tightening them. that includes normal things like background checks, et cetera, et cetera. >> harris: you've told me that forcing the democratic debate is like manna. >> it is. everything that you just said is true. it's also already a reality. background checks exist, three-day gun weights at gun shows are already in place. sensible legislation has been with us for a long time. every time -- and broker is not alone. you've got swell well, kamala harris, making those she is going to win all book of delegates in california. when bernie sanders is your pro-gun candidate in your party, your party is in trouble. >> harris: wow. the speaker to be repeated her call for democrats to st

and cory booker. i have to say this about cory booker.uckerberg came by and gave cory booker $100 million to the ne newark public school system and him not bring that up because he was chumming it up with mark zuckerberg when i was there and very rude to me. >> martha: they spent that money on education consultants they lost the money and the effect of that money is a whole other story. >> my mom was a public school stunt in newark. i wanted this to be a success. here is a guy giving $100 million turn this around. this was zero impact other than scandal. >> martha: really abysmal. you know, mark zuckerberg though says it's all going to change. he wants everyone to trust him. and here he is telling everybody that. >> the future is priced. this is the next chapter for our services. now, look, i get that a lot of people aren't sure we are serious about this. [laughter] i know we don't have the strongest reputation on privacy right now to put it lightly. but i'm committed to doing this well. >> martha: that's a little awkward. >> first of all

cory booker, zero times, has voted in favor of washington. dodd/frank and some things awful like carried interest and more. so when i was mayor in the city of newark we immediated to do things to get things going to get jobs created. getting institutional and philanthropy in our city because we were in a recession. recession for the country, they're depression-like circumstances here. >> let me ask you a specific question about one battle fought here, which was school reform here in newark. and you were champion, and i think continue to be a champion, for vouchers, for, and particularly for charter schools. those which flourished here in newark, and that has become a bone of contention with the teachers unions and some forces within the democratic party. >> right. >> the reality i've been a champion in schools. i championed specifically to have a unified system that works for my kids. not where your zip code determines the quality of school. my vision for america every zip code in america has great, quality schools regardless of your parents'

cory booker tried the same tactic against brett kavanaugh in the supreme court hearings.out baseless allegations and tried to keep that story alive. didn't go well for them. had a sparticus moment. they're trying to do the same thing again. there's no collusion. there's no obstruction. mueller didn't produce anything new today and we need to move on. >> neil: getting a lot of attention, mueller's lines again that if we had confidence the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. now you can just as easily argue said if we had confidence the president did commit a crime, they would have said so as well. that is what is getting the attention. it was essentially an inability to come to a conclusion either way. so normally that means that you can't take action against someone because you don't have enough proof. that is not how it's being presented. >> that is exactly right. a judiciary hearing when attorney general barr came before us, i asked him was it common for the conclusion of an investigation to actually seek to exonerate somebody. he said no. h

cory booker is calling for a national gun registry.enator spartacus dodging a question about jailing gun owners. >> would you prosecute people? do you support the government buying the back and if not potential people could go to jail if they don't want to sell them back. >> we should have a law that bans these weapons and we should have a reasonable. period in which people can turn and >> jesse: kamala harris wants to scrap all of president trump's tax cuts and replace them with this big government handout instead. >> for families that make less than $100,000 a year. i will implement a plan of allowing them to have a tax credit of up to $6,000 a year that they can receive at up to $500 a month. >> jesse: bernie sanders bashing biden for daring to say he is the most progressive candidate. >> i think if you look at joe's record and you look at my record, i don't think there's much question about who is more progressive. >> jesse: dana, this might help joe biden, being criticized from the left. >> dana: he is the undisputed front runner

i'll have an exclusive interview with presidential candidate senator cory booker.ak to presidential candidate amy klobuchar, both of them running for president. it's at 9:00 a.m. noon eastern coming up this sunday opinio. you can follow me on facebook and tweet the show @theleadcnn. have a great weekend. rest in peace, peter mayhue and john singleton. >>> happening now, breaking news. didn't discuss that after talking with russia's vladimir putin for more than an hour, president trump tells reporters they discussed the mueller report and putin joked the investigation was a mountain that turned into a mouse. but why didn't the president bring up all of mueller's evidence of russia's meddling in the u.s. election? >>> contradicting pompeo. despite what the secretary of state told me just days ago, president trump can downplays russia's role in venezuela's choose and tells reporters putin is not looking at all to get involved in venezuela. is the president frustrated with top aides who want tougher action against venezuela's

the people of people like kamala harris or kirsten gillibrand or elizabeth warren or even cory bookering to reintroduce themselves to the media doing it in a very fake inauthentic way that voters can see right through. in an age of leftist populism and right wing populism voters don't want to see a politician doing what they think they want to hear they want authenticity and spoken to like they mean it. joe biden has been able to do it. he still has some risks on the campaign trail for sure. we have a long way to go. right now he is coming off as the most authentic politician in that race. >> martha: we have a really long way to go. interesting to hearsay he wanted to be the last one in the race. it's remarkable because president trump got n june, i believe, when he went down that escalator. and he is not ignoring all of these efforts of these candidates. let's listen to what he had to say in louisiana today. watch this. >> i got -- beto is falling fast. what the hell happened? he is trying to restart his campaign. that generally doesn't work out too well. i don't know what the hell h

and you played a little basketball with cory booker. >> yeah. >> cory booker can not be president of? >> he gave me a hard foul on the ribs. >> he's the kevin garnett of politics. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he's pretty good, huh? >> he's good, but you know what? >> he has the old man game. >> he has a -- yeah so, we also have an old man game because we don't play basketball. we almost died on the court. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: really? >> i haven't run across an entire gym since 1999. >> i haven't played basketball since the knicks legit had a a championship chance. and that was, like, what? 83? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: maybe, maybe, maybe next year. >> hopefully. hopefully. >> that's what the ny in knicks stands for, next year. [ laughter ] >> wow, wow. >> maybe next year. >> jimmy: they got it next year. >> i want to show a clip from your show. this is you taking anna kendrick on a tour of the bronx. >> so, that's anna, who is from maine. [ cheers ] >> jimmy: yeah, that's what made it perfect. >> yeah, yeah! >> maine, yeah! >> jimmy: here's "desus and mero," everybody. check

cory booker had not said he is for impeachment. one thing i want to tell you about the other side of this equation which is the trump political equation. communicating with a source familiar with the president's thinking on this who said explicitly that basically bring it on, that they would be happy to have impeachment proceedings because they think that this will emboldin their base and help them on the campaign trail in 2020. >> it's a difficult decision these democrats now have to make because the majority in the house of representatives presumably could have the preemt process begin in the house. and they have the majority if they want to impeach the president they can, but they don't have the majority in the u.s. senate. you need two thirds majority. 67 senators. they clearly don't have that. that is probably one of the major reasons that nancy pelosi has been reluctant to move forward. >> one of the things more clearly that sort of describes what her thinking is her view that you have to bring the public along. you can't jus

. >> so also in this race is senator cory booker of new jersey.alk about, and he talks about a lot, being the only one running who is from urban america, big urban city in newark, a city that struggled a lot. he came out this week with his plan, his gun proposal, to have interviews as part of gun licensing in this country. you spoke with him extensively for your show. let's play a clip that struck us. >> so when i'm president of the united states, i'm taking a fight to this issue like folks will never see before because we're better than this as a country. it's a uniquely american problem. no other country has this kind of carnage. more people in my lifetime have died in this nation due to gun violence than in all of the wars in the revolutionary war to now. we're not going to give thoughts and prayers, which to me is just bull [ bleep ]. i'm sorry to say that as a man of faith, but i was taught faith without works is dead. we're going to bring a fight with everything that i have to solve this problem. and because it's solvable, and we know it. >>
