I think some of these blue state governors and cities have just wasted and abused taxpayer dollars and we might need to bring some legislation forward to do that. We're not going to get any Democrats to help us. So In a reconciliation bill, all you need is just our majority Republican votes. and I think we may need to use that vehicle to get that done. Of Mr. Speaker, it's always a pleasure. Thanks so much for being here this morning. (14:21–14:26)
