tonight will be tuning in at the very end several weeks from now. if there is any notion on the committee we ll have cliff hangers here and try to string people along or build to some suspen suspensieful climax, they need o start strong and finish strong. you want to hear something new meaning what? well, i think if your goal is to change public opinion, i guess that s what it is here. you have to offer something new that isn t already baked in and internal ielzedized about the a people. it unfolded live on the television screen. we all saw it. everybody formed an opinion who is responsible and what happened and so on and so forth. in order to break people out of those hardened opinions that have been formed over the last year and a half and were really formed in the moment a long time ago, you have to bring new information to materially change public opinion or to make this more salient for the upcoming midterm. i think this isn t going to matter in november.
