You host national debates over the most difficult, legal questions. I was listening to you asking about a conflict of interest, with a president and his son with problems. I saw you just corner some guests who couldnt answer, because these are hard questions. Maybe thats a whole national debate. I think that is a good one. I think that theres a conversation about addiction, which is a disease, and we had someone on talking about someone in his immediate family. Yeah.

Especially when you have been and then seek to be again president of the united states of america.
