booker: hello iowa! hello everybody. [chanting] sen. booker: thank you! i don't mean to start on a low but it is a high, i started today giving a eulogy for my aunt, who great was born and raised in des moines. i am not the first in my family to be at the iowa state fair. loreay the lord goes, -- goes, my grandmother and great , and that they took second prize to shirley temple back then. [laughter] sen. booker: i will not saying, but i am proud of those iowa roots. as i said at the eulogy this morning when we buried a 100-year-old iowan, the story of the state's the story of the country. my family came here, they were called miners in alabama, and they moved to a town called buxton, iowa. many of you know buxton because there is a book that calls it the american utopia. there was a time in the late 1800s when blacks migrating from the south and european immigrants joined together in an integrated town well before it's time. it is evidence of the best of who we are as a nation. struggling black and white who went down into a out of theto dig earth their a

booker calling biden the architect of mass incarceration and biden pushed back calling out booker's record as mayor of newark, new jersey. i want you to take a listen to one of those exchanges last night between booker and biden. >> there was nothing done for the entire eight years he was mayor. there was nothing done to deal with the police department. why did you announce in the first day zero tolerance policy of stop-and-frisk and hire rudy giuliani's guy in 2007 when i was trying to get rid of the crack cocaine problem. >> there's a saying in my community you're dipping into the kool-aid and you don't even know the flavor. you need to come to the city of newark and see the reforms we put in place. >> reporter: that was one of cory booker's more effective lines. the new jersey senator had a solid night showing that he's able to punch back at other cane but also maintaining that happy warrior mantra that embodies so much of his campaign. the question for booker going forward can he capitalize on his debate performance last night. joe biden still has convincing to do for democrats to show

okay. >> booker. >> booker. >> senator booker. >> senator booker. >> you said booker. more respectful, is that the deal? you know that. okay. okay. who do you think? >> i felt similar to the first debate there is not enough about rural issues. we need to talk about real issues. >> who do you think did the best? >> castro and booker. >> booker and gabbard. >> tulsi gabbard, okay. we can go on a first name basis. >> booker tonight. >> mostly booker. seems like castro came in second. five weeks ago you all said kamala harris. i don't hear any kamala harris. >> no. >> why is that? let me ask you, scott. you told me five weeks ago you were almost ready to commit to kamala harris after seeing her performance. >> i don't. i thought that when she was attacked, i don't think she performed well. she was on the defensive quite a bit tonight. it did not help her. >> did anybody think she did a good job? >> no. >> what do you think of the job she did? >> i think she spent a lot of her time attacking joe biden tonight and just being very, you know, mean spirited almost with the way

tapper: senator booker? sen. booker: thank you. first, i just want to give a lot of thanks to the city of detroit. they're hosting us today, and one of the reasons i respect this city is because it has the kind of defiant love that i find in many american cities, including the city of newark. and detroit is turning around and newark is turning around because we let no one divide us, no one demean or degrade us or underestimate our worth. we pulled together and fought for common purpose and common cause. that's the history of this city. my mom is sitting there who was born in the city of detroit, born to a guy. [applause] sen. booker: that was a uaw worker, my grandfather, who pulled his family out of poverty in the depression. my grandmother joined him. she was really entrepreneurial, opened a pool hall and a laundromat right here in this city. that is the american dream. and so many of us have stories like that. but the dream of this country is under threat right now. while, my mom's generation, 80 -- 95% of baby boomers did bette

garrett haake covers cory booker. let me start with you, where does joe biden go today and how is he feeling? >> hard to over state how much the biden campaign feels better about last night's performance compared to what we saw in miami earlier. he take out strong, took the fight to donald trump right away in the opening statement. as promised and stuck to the plan, made the comparison with kamala harris on health care. when he played the malarkey card, he has come to play. he did learn lessons. much more receptive to krilt simple of his performance and mored interest in learning about his opponent's record to use it in the debate. not to say it was completely flawless performance by any means. what biden m's's tell us, some he was able to introduce about rivals. he's a much better known commodity among voters. those attacks do less lasting damage to him than they might do to kamala harris. where do we go from here, one indication we know biden feels better we expect to talk with joe biden today. he's going to make a

cory booker brought it up. i want to share just a bit of that. >> this is a case for the democratic party, the truth will set us free. we lost the state of michigan because everybody from republicans to russians were targeting the suppression of african-american voters. we need to say that. if the african-american vote in this state had been like it was four years earlier we'd have won the state of michigan. we need a campaign that is ready for what's coming and an all out assault especially on the most valuable voter group in our -- in fact, the highest performing voter group in our coalition, which is black women. >> give us some context about election security, voter suppression, specifically in michigan and why you think this was not a bigger topic during either night of debate. >> well, 95% of detroiters who voted in 2016 gave their vote to hillary clinton. it is a very reliable, democratic vote. but 40,000 fewer detroit voters voted in 2016 than 2012. the margin of difference between donald trump and hill

why is senator booker wrong. >> i think he is wrong. i think we should work together. he has a similar planment i think that we should change the way we look at prisons. >> we have a system right now that is broken. and if you want to compare records and frankly i'm shocked that you do, i am happy to do that. >> there is a thing in my community, are you dipping too kool-aid and you don't even know the flavor. >> trevor: whoa. yeah. you know what is cool about being black you can make up phrases and white people don't even know fts' real. (laughter) we were much whatting and every white person just looked at me like is that a thing? black people, we can say whatever, man, you better watch yourself because right now you deep frying a chicken but it ain't got no skin. this is where cory was in his element. he had biden on the rope. and he was always going to have him on the rope. because vice president biden has been in politics for 50 years. he is bound to have more baggage than anyone else stvment not a fight he can win. just when you thought that bied enwas the target

what is senator booker's view? sabrina: corey supports the most sweeping view of any presidential candidate. he calls for federal gun licensing program. if you need a license to buy a car, you should need a license to own a gun. he has called for a ban on assault weapons. i want to go back to gun licensing, because he is the first candidate to call for that, and i think it is important. states that have implemented a licensing program have seen gun violence go down. it only works federally. if someone in massachusetts has a strict gun licensing laws, but someone can go across and buy guns in indiana or florida and come back into the state, then we are still dealing with the same problem. we need to address that. david: this is a big problem, particularly on the national agenda. president trump got elected on a progrowth agenda. what he was going to do for the economy. you can agree with that or disagree with that. what is senator booker saying about our economy and how he would grow it? sabrina: i want to go back t

with booker and harris hoping to chip away at biden's overwhelming lead. after booker sought to remind voters of biden's record on the 1994 crime bill on the debate stage last night, this afternoon biden was defending that record. >> i'm not a black man to state the obvious, but i've gone out of my way to understand best i possibly can that what the concerns are. there's a lot of things everybody has done in their past and votes that no longer have a context today. they're taken out of context. they come from the community, they know my heart, they know me and i think that's why so many of supporting me. >> in 2016 african-american voters accounted for 24%, that's almost a quarter of all democratic primary voters. a figure which is expected to rise in 2020. but while polls show that biden is clearly leading the polls with african-american support and in key early states like south carolina, those same polls show that biden support is much firmer among older black voters. the votes of younger african-americans remain up for grabs with candidates like cory b

cory booker is 100% right. if you are there to when you go after them and say you can't have it both ways. joe biden should have underlined it. >> there is a fine line, america loves joe biden and democrats adore him. so much experience to bring to the table, obviously the front runner. >> when he was senator he couldn't get anywhere. >> a lot of change. when kirsten gillibrand went after him for this op-ed he wrote in the 80s, was tax credits and how women, did you see this exchange? how women should not be working because it is a detriment to their family. that is your headline, those are your words and she went back down and that was then, i am not like that now. a lot of change since the 80s and continue to attack. don't continue to attack and we are moving on. >> we are moving on. the number one issue for voters has been immigration. that is why we started there. there is a superdeep divide in the democratic party, democrats work for years to come up with universal healthcare, the ultimate result was the a

and then you had the reverse the next night where you had biden, warren, booker and then bill de blasio over there basically trying and kind of failing to channel what bernie sanders might say. and so in some ways, the central issue of this debate -- >> remains unresolved. >> not only unresolved, but unlitigated. >> biden's performance? >> i mean, it was better than it was a couple of weeks ago. he seemed a bit more prepared. but he just does not seem like the biden we saw during the obama era. he is not relaxed. i don't know if it's because trump has labeled him sleepy joe that the question i keep asking and a lot of my listeners keep asking is why doesn't he have the energy? why doesn't he seem to have the vigor that a bernie sanders who is in the same age range seem to have? and i don't know if it's because trump has planted those seeds to make us believe that he is, but he's just not showing up. >> you know, one thing i thought, i want to plap this clip. there is a certain kind of a happy warrior in this that i thought few people lib, particularly elizabeth warren and cory booker wh

>> i disagree with cory booker. i don'tb think you blame a pall it titian. you blame the person who did it. i blamed oswald, brener, james earl ray, hinckley. haunting charles whitman who, when i was a small kid in elementary school went to a tower and shot students from a tower in austin, texas. i didn't blame linden been as johnson but there's no doubt the presidents to the come out with a strong -- listen, there are white nationalists and nuts and dangerous people including my state that need be called out. that attacked my car just blocks from here in a taxi cab and jumped on my hood with hoods on them. we have to call out radical left wing groups and not give them any credibility whatsoever. >> i want to give you a moment here because you've been on the forefront of talking about this white nationalism issue. i think in a good way making people uncomfortable when you would talk about it. it's time address it. we seem to have shifted the conversation a bit. >> yes. so it's one thing for people to recognize we have a white nationalist problem. >> we weren

booker said he can't have it both ways. booker also went after biden over his 1994 crime bill. >> we have a system right now that's broken, and if you want to compare records, and frankly i'm shocked that you do, i am happy to do that because all of the problems that he is talking about that he created, i actually led the bill that got passed into law that reverses the damage that your bills that you were frankly to correct you, mr. biden, you were calling it the biden crime bill until 2016. >> this exchange was the top tweeted moment of the debate. >> there was nothing done for the entire eight years he was mayor, there is nothing done to deal with the police department that was corrupt. why did you announce in the first day a zero tolerance policy of stop and frisk and hire rudy giuliani's guy in 2007 when i was trying to get rid of the crack cocaine. >> there's a saying in my community, you're dipping into the kool aid and you don't even know the flavor. you need to come to the city of new jersey. >> kirsten gillibrand p

talk about cory booker and the speech her made there today. >> reporter: senator booker was trying to connect the gun violence we see historically and currently to the rise of white supremacy. he took more of a solid term than what we heard from cory booker just this week. he said president trump was complicit in the attacks we saw in el paso. in the church he didn't take that same stance. he didn't mention president trump by name. he spoke to the higher ideas of connecting people and uniting folks. cory booker said, at this time it's not a matter of who is racist and who is not racist but who is doing something about the racist, who is combating the injustice we see in society. for senator booker, he talked about allocating resources. he said as president he would take on white supremacist groups. he wants to take on gun control legislation, slaiks legislation that goes beyond what we're hearing from some of the democrats in this field, just banning assault weapons or banning high capacity magazines cory booker wants to establish a federal gun licensing program and wants to limit the

the match came after booker called the former vice president's plan inadequate. >> why is senator booker wrong? >> i think we should work together. i think he has a similar plan. >> he's said since the 1970s every major crime bill has had his name on it. those are your words, not mine. this is one of those instances where the house was set on fire and you claimed responsibility for those laws. you can't come out with a plan to put out that fire. >> since 2007, i for example, tried to get the crackpot or cane totally eliminated. in 2017, you became mayor. you had a police department that engaged in stop and frisk. you had 75% of those stops reviewed as illegal. three times of african-american kids were caught up in that chain. the justice department came after you saying you were engaging in behavior that was inappropriate. nothing happened the entire time you were mayor. >> we have a system that is broken. if you want to compare mayors. i'm shocked that you do. i'm happy to do that. >> there was nothing done during the time he was mayor. nothing to deal with the police department that wa

and now, senator cory booker. senator booker: hello, iowa. hello, everybody. thank you, thank you. a low, mean to start on but it is actually a high. i began today giving a eulogy for my great aunt, who was born and raised in des moines. my great aunt and my grandmother, born and raised in des moines, i am not the first of my family to be at the iowa state fair. is that my lore goes grandmother and my great aunt who i eulogized this morning, they actually competed at the iowa state fair during the depression. their story is that they took second prize to shirley temple back then. the only thing i can say, i will not saying. but i am really proud of those iowa roots. i said at the eulogy this morning, we buried a 100-year-old iowa one, and the story of this state is the story of america. my family came here right after slavery, they were coal miners in alabama and they moved to a town called buxton, iowa. many know buxton because there is a book about it called "the american utopia." the late a time in 1800s were blacks migrated from the south and european anigrants joined together

i had 3 different moments and someone who had a good night tonight was cory booker. he attacks joe biden a number of times but specifically on criminal justice reform and his record. >> a person enjoying this debate most right now is donald trump, pitting democrats against each other. i was raised by two civil rights parents who told me always keep your eyes on the prize. we can't have it both ways. you invoke president obama more than anybody in this campaign, you can't do it when it is convenient and dodging when it is not. if you want to compare records i'm shocked that you do. i'm happy to do that because all the problems he's talking about that he created -- you are drinking the kool-aid and don't even know the flavor. >> client, with a tweet saying we know the flavor but cory booker had a good night, a strong night for him was the joe biden antagonist, second moment, tulsi gabbard had a strong night on stage. kirsten mentioned the attack on kamala harris's record but there were other moments where she talked about bringing us troops home. >> it's not about arbi

i thought booker had a good night. i thought the attack on senator harris was one of the toughest i've ever seen. >> by tulsi gabbard? >> absolutely. exculpatory evidence of people on death row. that is as tough as you can get. >> look, i think this was the opposite of last night. last night you had two stars at the center. warren and sanders. and they wipe the floor with all the lily -- this time the stars faded. biden did well enough to stop some of the fears, but not to give people that overwhelming confidence this is our guy. and kamala just didn't have it tonight. and instead, the people that were almost the afterthoughts came on like gangbusters. cory booker turned in a performance that reminded you why he's a household name. he was great on immigration. he was great on criminal justice. he was great on climate. he was happy. he was effective. you're like -- because up until now he looked like a guy with a great future behind him. so he bought himself a lifeline. also, gillibrand did great! >> i think that's righ

senator booker sid you want to disfans yourself when it comes to the policies. >> not just senator booker but mayor de blasso pressuring him to explain where he was different than president obama. biden didn't do a great job of handling it a tax but he responded, shieg wouldn't get into what he privately told obama about his position. it was more interesting people were taking it to kamala harris. she didn't have particularly good responses. whether it was biden going after her for her medicare for all plan, or tulsi gabbard talking about her bad criminal justice record where she was targeting peep 78 harshly. kamala harris did not have good responses. the lack of response might be more interesting than what was happening with biden. >> shannon: it may be a little bit of round one the vice president was caught off guard by the attacks that came his way. senator harris got a lot of attention, she was attacking, scoring the points, moving into another tier. but did she get the same treatment, maybe not expecting she would be the recipient of so much of this. >> definitely got a little bit o

i don't think anyone came away a clean winner, maybe cory booker. you see people dropping out and all the top-tier candidates on the same stage which i think the real fireworks will start. >> curious to hear what the voters think and people out there, you will be out there all morning. rob: democrats taking direct aim at the coal industry and the thousands of jobs that come with it. >> end any subsidy, or any fossil fuel. >> why not invest in the green jobs? that is what the green new deal is about. >> the president won crucial rust belt states in 2016 like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. are those voters still out of reach for democrats in 2020? with this kind of rhetoric? here to debate that is robert but to low and -- ronald i want to start with you. not just coal we are talking about but anybody that makes cars, the democrats don't want any emissions. these are critical states they need to win in the rustbelt. is this the best way to do that? >> it is not an assault on cars, what it is, understanding of the realities we are lagging behind chi

booker, i liked booker. >> these are thoughtful, these are thoughtful, practical, pragmatic voters who more than anything want these people, these democratic candidates, to cut to the chase. i'm really just getting to the meat of the issues that concern them. it's nice to be in detroit, but when you come to a community like flint, and one gentleman said, you know what, health care is important, education is important, but if my belly isn't full and my children are still hungry, what good is any of it, right? it's easy to talk about white working class voters, but there are black people all across this country, you talk about industry being the bedrock of the middle class, let's not forget what michigan did to draw folks from the south, fleeing the violence and racism and inadequate opportunities in the jim crow south to places like michigan, so much of that has faded away, but the people here want someone to address their concerns and so far, few candidates, they say, are addressing those concerns. >> trymaine lee, very thoughtful. the people of flint, michigan, have something else, as

booker best in class performance. and the former vice president, he is still old, he is still nostalgic and still the front runner until someone can prove otherwise. mr. biden achieved some of the goals that eluded him last night. "the washington post" declared trump the winner. also bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. and joe biden, quote, he wasn't as bad as last time but wasn't as good either. the wall street journal, biden's performance grew stronger throughout the night. al, let me bring you in and ask you about winners and losesers d if those latte liberals that you keep talking about missed the forest for the trees and decided to attack barack obama and his signature health care plan and his immigration policies instead of going after donald trump. >> well, i certainly think the winner overall the two nights probably was elizabeth warren and probably julian castro. last night as i sat there upfront, i began wondering how many republican commercials they were setting themselves up for by attacking the most popu
