The event, moderated by CBS anchor Gayle King and drawing over 300 attendees, covered Booker\u2019s book and current issues such as the Iran situation and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nancy-pelosi-blames-president-trump-climate-change-for-migrant-surge\/\" title=\"Nancy Pelosi blames President Trump, \u2018climate change\u2019 for migrant surge\">partial government shutdown<\/a>. Booker described Stand as outlining ten virtues Americans must uphold to prevail and said the tour aims to spark a popular movement to redeem the American dream. He indicated he is not ruling out a 2028 presidential bid, though he did not commit to running, and reflected on the ongoing speculation about his political future. The talk was punctuated by five pro-Palestine protests, which disrupted the discussion at times, prompting King to steer the conversation; Booker responded that he loves New York despite the interruptions. The tour continues to major cities, including stops in California, as Booker weighs his next steps in national politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cory Booker calls on Americans to &lsquo;stand up&rsquo; at New York City book tour stop<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<p><strong>NEW YORK, NEW YORK<\/strong> &ndash; Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Cory-Booker\/\">Cory Booker<\/a> (D-NJ) called on Americans to &ldquo;stand up&rdquo; at his book tour stop Tuesday at Temple Emanu-El on the one year anniversary of his <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3367088\/cory-booker-breaks-record-longest-senate-floor-speech-24-hours\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3367088\/cory-booker-breaks-record-longest-senate-floor-speech-24-hours\/\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-isnt-going-to-save-the-democrats-who-will\/\" title=\"Biden isn\u2019t going to save the Democrats.

On March 31, 2025, Booker surpassed the longest Senate speech that was held by the late Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), who used his speech to delay passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;One year ago tonight, we knew that there was this sort of, almost like a state of, like, deep frustration, but not enough standing up, not enough believing that there were people fighting,&rdquo;
