I started studying the history of the conservative movement. And I'll tell you a quick story, because it will illustrate what I'm talking about. When I was a sophomore in Congress, my second term, I was elected chair of the Republican Study Committee, largest caucus of conservatives in Congress. Actually, it's the largest caucus. At the time, we had 158 House Republicans. I should not have been elected to that. I didn't have the seniority, but it was really more about, you know, skill set, whatever. (18:13–18:21)
