And the challenge is to really get into the weeds of these debates, analyse the facts, hear the different opinions, and then hopefully... depending on the power of the argument, the viewers at home, A, they learn a lot, which is really a perfect show for me where they're learning things, but B, they can formulate their own opinions.
