Advocates we wanted to shout out and uplift were able to defeat that horrible asinine bill that was going to stop undocumented kids from going to school. That was defeated this session.

And so I'm not willing to silence myself in order to pass a symbolic resolution. And so I think we have to realize, too, that our victories can be judged based off of the coalitions we're building. How many people are we bringing with us? Who are the new people we're engaging in this process to come testify? So many people, I've traveled the state. I remember I was in Tullahoma. I think Ms.

Janice and I, she was with me. And this man came out of this restaurant, this meat and three, and he looked like he was from Duck Dynasty. And I said, oh Lord, he's like, he's like coming up to our table. I was like, oh Lord, just, he's going to say something. He said, keep up the good trouble. In Tullahoma.

And I think that the tide is going to shift because they're getting so arrogant with power that even their own voters, Republicans are saying, defecting and saying, this is getting too extreme for me.

So many of our farmers had these grants with USAID that have been cut. Now they're struggling with their soybeans. Where are they going to send these? I mean, they're hurting too.
