Low. so if they get a little bit from him just having that video could go, i think, a longer way than were anticipating. >> i think thats right and i think what he said was he doesnt want to say anything more beyond what has already been put out, which includes a 400-plus page report that i think that the democrats would be more than happy just -- they would be happy for him to read it. they would be happy for him -- >> just a dramatic reading. >> any aspect of this as much as they can for the e...

Go down the impeachment road, theyll have to sell it to the american people. and right now the american people are not buying this sell. the cnn poll thats out today i think bears that out. and so what do the hearings do? it provides an opportunity, i think, for democrats, as sunlen was reporting, to reset. because for so long, weve been talking about subpoenas, weve been talks about documents. but theyre not talking about the substance of the report. so i think what the democrats want to do is ...
