Please.

It takes courage to stand out.

It does.

And look, if you turn around and you look amongst us, it's not just the people that are here.

It's hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people in the United States and across the world that are defending democracy,

but they need the courage and the bravery of our members of Congress and our electeds to make sure that democracy is defended.

Indeed.

And so tonight we are not going to hear a false state of the union.

We are going to hear the true state of our union from the people who are being impacted by the policies that are taking place at the hands of someone who has demonstrated

no love for the Constitution, for the truth, or for the care and concern of the American people.

It's much more important to hear what people are truly facing and going through.

That's what you're going to hear tonight.

The American people deserve the truth.

They do not need more lies from this regime.

So tonight, you are going to hear people that have been impacted directly by the bullshit of this administration.

Amen.

And because I'm also a church girl.

Sorry, Joy, for my language.

Oh, no.

I'm a cousin Christian, sis.
