I can take it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t know. You\u2019re not gonna like my answer. I don\u2019t know that I should answer this question, \u2019cause you know, Pierre, you\u2019re not the first. You\u2019re the first recently, and I don\u2019t mean to challenge the importance of your call. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m doing. People have asked in previous election, &#8220;Why don\u2019t you moderate a debate? Why don\u2019t you have all these candidates on your show and you just pepper \u2019em with questions,&#8221; and (sigh) there\u2019s a reason.
