1. Thanks for posting these segments, Rhiannon.

I always enjoy hearing from Sen. Booker. I love his uninhibited joy, and respect his serious consideration of current issues.

2. I was excited for this interview, too - he's always one terrific guest, forthcoming and informed

But not nearly as excited to have him on as Colbert was - he said that when Senator Booker is on, it's "a vacation" for him since the senator is "a champion talker..."

3. I got to meet Sen. Booker a few years ago

Entirely by accident! I was vacationing in southeast Pennsylvania when he was guest speaker at a naturalization ceremony aboard the USS New Jersey. He was very personable then and has grown since. When he ran for the Democratic primary in 2020, I sent his campaign a donation -- something I very rarely do -- because I believed in what he stood for then.

And tonight's show just reinforced that perception. I just wish Florida could replace Rick Snott and Marco Boobio with people of Booker's caliber.

As always, thanks!

4. That is very cool! He's certainly personable and outgoing and I also remember his time as mayor

When he was known as a hero! And you're certainly right - if only we could replace our worst and most despicable with those like Senator Booker, it would give all of us hope! Not to mention, he's also one of Stephen Colbert's favorite guests since he's so forthcoming to interview - and of course they share the same values for our country.
