I think we judge our victories by the bad bills we stop. I think that is what we are now. There's 24 members of our caucus, 23 when Johnny Shaw forgets he's a Democrat. And so I think we have to be honest about where we are. And what we have to do is like what we're trying to do when I add committees, build coalitions with their people in their district. That's how...

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. What a powerful victory. The Monsanto Cancer Act, whatever they want to call it, that was defeated this year. You know, there are bad bills stopping.

We have to judge our victories, not just based off of what we pass. Because some of my colleagues do see that you win by based off of what you pass. And so they'll pass a bill that says, we're going to put a marker here, a historical marker, which is beautiful. But I want to see the material conditions change for my constituents.

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.

That's a victory. That's a victory. When we win over their people, when we play offense, when we let them know that we are building a coalition that can defeat this coalition of hate and fear and division by building a coalition based off of solidarity and showing up for each other, I think that's how we judge our victories.
