And so all those people who love this country and are in deep pain and wounded by what they see is happening right now, hold tight. The best chapter in a century, I think, is upon us if we can get the leadership right. What do you say to someone who says: Yeah, I\u2019d love to believe that. And certainly we\u2019ve overcome darkness in the past, but why should I have any hope now that we\u2019re going to overcome it? How do you help people? We\u2019ve talked a lot about optimism in this series. And I just think a lot of people struggle to summon optimism today. Well, as I said to you, these are heartbreaking times. But that is a sign of great love. You cannot have great courage unless you face great fear. And you cannot have great hope unless you face great despair.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/24opinions-booker-for9x16-jumbo.jpg\" data-testid=\"betamax-poster\"   fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"_poster_9lakg_19\"\/>\u201cIf America hasn\u2019t broken your heart, you don\u2019t love her enough,\u201d Cory Booker tells David Leonhardt in this episode of \u201cThe Opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>December 1, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"new video loaded: Cory Booker Wants You to Have Hope transcript Back transcript Cory Booker Wants You to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[31462,9,11,10,87,618],"class_list":{"0":"post-58210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-cory-a-booker","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-news","12":"tag-politics","13":"tag-us"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
