YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ah, the "Yes or no" question. A staple of any congressional hearing.

Congressmen and Senators often demand witnesses quickly answer questions as yes or no.

They frequently cite time constraints -- perhaps after giving lengthy statements. But does "yes or no" provide Congress or the public deeper understanding, broader explanation, or even nuance?

In this episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly," hear some of the most remarkable "yes or no" exchanges from hearings we've covered.

Is this an episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly" that any Congressional hearing junkie won't want to miss -- YES OR NO!

That one's easy. The answer: yes.
