reputation further, or am i going to make news? tell me which of those he did. i didn't see any news in the hearing today beyond the fact that republicans and democrats can't conduct a sensible hearing for the american people. and i didn't see him damaging himself. so i would go back and say the republicans wanted him to say something that would be embarrassing. he didn't, so they wanted him to move on. i agree with you. they wanted him to say something stupid, and he didn't. >> speaking of that, in that vein, they made him read the text messages out loud. we're going to play that, and you'll see it for yourself, next.
