report that we re going to see the committee potentially do a hearing around this as well. but this is going to be one of the last indelible images of the country. and peter, over the summer, we saw the committee hold several blockbuster hearings. there are moments that i think everybody were surprised to learn about. how strong does today s presentation need to be? it s kind of their conclusion publicly. well, of course expectations have been raised so high because of those previous hearings that they have to do what they can to make sure the shock value hasn t worn off. we re a country that tends to lose interest in things over time. what they re trying to do, especially at a moment when the country is deciding its political future through these election, remind them of what s at stake. you re right. there s sort of a pressure on them to deliver with video or testimony that will actually if not change opinions, at least
