So by way of example, They're keeping the Homeland Department of Homeland Security closed right now at this very dangerous moment where we have active terrorist threats and activities around the country. And they're willing to play politics with that. And it doesn't bode well for bipartisan legislation going forward. So I'm a realist. (12:43–12:53)
