So I'm going to tell you a funny story. So when the Democrats, when Harry Reid had the majority. Just off the Senate floor, there is a restroom that is the Senator's restroom. And When the Democrats took over, they replaced the toilet paper with little square strips of Kleenex. And it was the most frustrating. I assume it's some lefty environmentalist idea that like a tiny little like four by four square is what you would pull off one at a time. (23:09–23:18)
