I think that is the toughest part is that we are a co equal branch of government with the executive branch. But under Mike Johnson, we're not. He's decided that we're a subservient branch. And you know, We just saw it with some veto override votes, right. Petty little vetoes that he did against Republican members. And yet they defend his veto rather than their colleagues. And something that passed almost unanimously or unanimously through the House. We see that, but we see that every day, Mark. (11:15–11:24)
