S2 Ep1028: Cory Booker: A National Crisis and a Global Crisis

24 Apr 2025

Description

Donald Trump is trying to foist the worst peace deal in the last 100 years on Ukraine, as he gets repeatedly played by foreign leaders on the world stage. At home, he's turned JFK's "Ask not" upside down to 'Ask what you can do for Donald Trump.' But when will the cowardly law firms or CEOs groveling for a tariff exemption stand up for patriotism, our core constitutional values—and America's better vision of itself? Plus, Tim challenges an 11-year-old block from Twitter's golden era, and Booker shares diet & exercise tips. Sen. Cory Booker joins Tim Miller.

history, a mere 25 hours and five minutes, breaking Strom Thurmond's record for his filibuster against civil rights. He was mayor of Newark from 2006 to 2013. It's Cory Booker. How are you doing, Senator? I'm doing really well. It's great to be with you. Thank you for having me. Thank you for doing it. I want to get to filibuster talk, but unfortunately, there's a lot of news.

Last night, Russia launched 70 missiles, about 150 drones, and one of the largest attacks on Kiev. Yeah, there are attacks all over Ukraine. Our President Trump said he's not really happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev, but there's harsher words for President Zelensky and saying that his inflammatory statements are making it difficult to settle the war.

I'm wondering what you think about the state of play.

I think this president has betrayed American traditions, American allies, and frankly, the incredible people of Ukraine. His leadership over the last hundred days has almost been like an invitation to the Russians to continue what has been roundly condemned by the international community. as an unjustified war of aggression.
