Cory Booker on Power, Courage, and the Future of America

We sit down with Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey for a conversation that covers the personal, the political, and everything in between. We trade marriage proposal stories and talk about the importance of mental health—especially for Black men—and why community is a lifeline. We connect it to policy: Medicaid and mental health access, childcare, senior care, and the Child Tax Credit. Then we get into power—voting, Senate gridlock, Supreme Court term limits, campaign finance, fair taxes—and what Democrats must stand for. And we close with a “Sit Your Ass Down” pick for leaders who abuse power.
