Booker: O.K., I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Lisa: This is a serious interview on the Ferris wheel. Is the field too big? That’s what I hear from voters. A lot of people are worried about that.

Booker: I think the field is going to start to shrink. I think that it will naturally. I think that it will be good for voters.

Lisa: Is there a path for candidates that don’t qualify for that September debate?

Booker: I think it’s hard. I don’t see it. I’m sure there is. But I think it’s going to be very hard for somebody that’s not at the debate.

Lisa: Is this the most humiliating thing you’ve done as a presidential candidate?

Booker: No, not by far.

Lisa: What is?

Booker: I’m not going to tell you because it will bring back humiliation. No, look, I love this. Honestly, this has really been one of the greater experience of my life. Because you are able to pick up a national platform to connect with people you’d never be able to connect with.

We shifted a debate by coming out, for example, on an issue of gun licensing. I think that helped to change the debate. By talking about that we have 17,000 people that we can identify that are unjustly incarcerated right now, that we’re going to put on the way to clemency, that helps to shift the debate and bring attention to issues that don’t normally get it. So this is an incredible privilege. I am so grateful to be running for president right now.

Lisa: When you came into the race there was a lot of love, lots of love —

Booker: Yeah, I’ve heard this. I’ve heard this. I know exactly where you’re going to go, and I’ve heard this before, but go ahead. Hey, guys. (He waves to photographers in the car above.) This is just amazing. I’m sorry. It’s fabulous. I got to take some selfies here. Hey guys, smile for a selfie.
