What we saw last night from a lot of members was not quite that. Why go against leadership's wishes? I think you need to get the line directly from leadership because actually Leadership was very clear, heading right into the speech that their directive, their desire was for us to stay on message on Medicaid and the attacks on Medicaid, the attacks on our veterans and the attacks on taxpayers that are getting their money stolen from them and being handed over to billionaires. And I believe the Progressive Caucus action last night with our signs fit very squarely within that guidance. And sorry, and I've been calling people's names, but if you'll say your name in your outlet, we'll try. (26:17–26:40)
