Well, first of all, my role is to call balls and strikes and to give a voice to half or more than

half or even sometimes like 80% of the country on the issues of the day.

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings talking about his presentation at the 2025 issues,

etc., making the case conference.

It's a real debating show and you're putting people at the table who have diverse viewpoints,
