But that day, you know, my dad and I sat down in the front row on the republican side of the aisle as the moment of silence and the commemoration began. And My dad, he had not been back on the House floor since January 6, since before January 6. But he sort of looked behind us and he saw all of the empty seats. And he turned back to me and he said, you know, it's one thing to hear about and to read about what's happened to our party, but the fact that there's no other Republicans, none here, was really, really just kind of a shocking thing to actually see it, I think, firsthand. I mean, you said to Peter fever at Duke, you said you're looking forward to the day when you can be booed by liberals again. (47:59–48:35)
