that in james comey tweet he talked about being worried about leaking if this wasn't an open hearing. this is an individual who leaked his conversations with the president of the new york times but he is pushing for an open hearing. that is a mistake for two reasons. one is if this is a closed hearing because of the sensitivity of the types of questions he needs to answer i hope republicans hold tight on a closed hearing. >> my opinion is i understand how closed-door him would not compromise the testimony but his answers should be playing whether it is open or closed door. should be consistent. we see recent testimony and we know there can be showboating involved. i am on the tossup between it but i believe in transparency and don't believe anything is wrong with an open hearing so we can get it in front of the american people to make the

decision. if he doesn't agree he will write a book about it. >> less of the debate and more of an attack. beto o'rourke, people saying he will carry the democratic party in 2020. if you have ever seen the movielantern, he is so hot right now. i feel like that unjustified feeling of he is so hot right now is given to beto. >> i saw the movie in 2016. it was called once you lose you will probably lose again, working on the sanders campaign. i'm convinced they have republican consultants. they are the only ones who believe in fail up, the more you lose the more positions we put

you into lose. it couldn't be ted cruz, couldn't beat donald trump. why would we think beto who could that be ted cruz would be more successful in a presidential run? everybody from beyoncé to barack obama supported beto and now he's this darling. what happened to sanders, harris, gillam in florida, came in close. i am puzzled by this. >> i agree to a certain extent. he did lose this race but a part we should pay attention to is a conservative state and he didn't run to the center. he had a strong democratic platform and almost beat ted cruz. i think for democrats what they can look at is somebody young and charismatic which is important. that is why they compare him to obama at times. is not like bernie sanders with a socialist platform which is

not going to work well for the majority of americans. i understand why people are pointing to him but we have to see more from him to know whether he is a true contender. todd: a little bit of the debate. i think this is about holiday spirit right now. >> i will say he almost didn't beat ted cruz because of ted cruz. ted cruz was the only thing standing into cruz's way because he's this ideal candidate. i don't think we see socialism which i'm not one, the entire american body will agree with but i don't think he is it. they need to figure out the best message to carry on. todd: 24 months to figure this out. happy thanksgiving. >> what a happy little discussion. they should go out to lunch. >> peace and love throughout the world. and happy black friday.
