And look, there's a market out there for that [but] I enjoy this. I enjoy having a conversation and connecting with somebody, getting to know how they think and them getting to know how I think, disagreeing where there's disagreement but doing it in a constructive way as opposed to going for the click bait and all of that.

And I don't think that if i was hosting something on TV [that] I'd get a chance to do that. — Konstantin Kisin
