I heard Mayor Cory Booker talking about the loss of power and also a lot of the water that had been lapping up and over the sides.

We expect it to get worse as time goes on. Fortunately, most people are heeding the warnings by staying safe.

We have downed lines all over the city, power out all over the city. We've had fires that have started as a result of power lines, a lot of debris rolling around our streets.

It is unfortunate people are using 911 in a time that is not an emergency.

It's nauseating to the American people. Enough is enough.

I have to say from a very personal level, I'm not about to sit here and indict private equity.

Let me be clear. Mitt Romney has made his business record a centerpiece of his campaign.

It's nauseating to the American public. Enough is enough.

I have to just say, from a very personal level, I'm not about to sit here and indict private equity.

Staying out of trouble in the first few weeks, the mayor believed, was crucial and the employment can be the hub around which a non-criminal life can be organized.

I have no formal authority. I don't appoint board members and don't have any kind of say in what happens or how those dollars are spent. I don't have any influence over curriculum.

I want that math professional coming out of graduate school to say, you know what, I could go work for Microsoft and make $200,000 a year or, wait a minute, I could go work in Newark, New Jersey. If I evidenced that I am a great teacher, I…

If you're willing to give up these archaic tenure rules, that say once you're two years into the system, you can never be fired really unless it takes -- an act of God.

Up next, the mayor of one of America's toughest cities is on a new mission to take back control of the public schools. What Cory Booker of Newark, New Jersey plans to do and how it could inspire others to transform education.

It's crazy that in places like New York and Newark it's almost impossible, it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars just to be able to fire one teacher -- one that universally everybody says is bad.

We have to stop paying our teachers, in my opinion, as wage workers. They are not, they're professionals. We should pay them to get a job done; we should pay them based upon results.

This two-pronged approach was adopted by Mayor Cory A. Booker of Newark, New Jersey.

I was happy that even disadvantaged people in my community could get involved and know that even their $5 donation was significant.

This gentleman, excuse me, this person should not have been on the streets, point plain. And mistakes, in my opinion, were made.
