And I think back to a year ago, my town halls, people were so frustrated with what they saw happening. They didn't know how bad it was going to get, but they were very frustrated with the direction they saw from this Congress and from this administration. And they kept saying, Well, we want to do something. What can we do? We want to stop this. We want you to stop this. And if you can't stop it, we want to stop it.
