you know, compromise our values, but to say that we stand 10 toes down for them and that we're going to be consistent. And even I've had Republicans say, we disagree with you, but we know that when you say you're going to do something, you're going to be consistent and that you're going to be honest. And I think people want to see more authenticity in our politic. They want courage.

for how bold we are in response, but we will be apologetic to future generations by how timid we are when our democracy is on fire, when the house is on fire, when things are collapsing all around us, we'll be apologetic for what we didn't do as opposed to what we did do. And so when I took a megaphone out of my pocket, was it in the quorum? Was it a violation of house rules? They say it was.

But I knew that I was required in that time because those children were saying, please do something, hear us, see us. And so when they expelled us, I also want to just end by saying it was not about us. It was about the people who showed up, mostly young people, who showed up in the largest number since the Civil Rights Movement, demanding better of our government.

Children and young people who can never unsee what they saw that day, who really transformed that place to a point where the Republicans ended session early because they were terrified of these young people. And they've now surrounded the Capitol in troopers. You have to have tickets to sit in the gallery. All these processes to keep the people at the people's house.

They knew that they're on the losing side of history. They've lost a generation. And so now they're trying to hold on to power. And as we say in the South, a dying mule kicks the heart.
