Katie Phang

It's all good.

I'm a cousin Christian.

But we want to start off this night by doing something that I think is so important, Katie.

And that is reclaiming.

the Christian voice from white Christian nationalism, which not only threatens our freedom, but also threatens a very important faith throughout this world.

Christianity is not what you have been sold by Project 2025.

So right now, to do our invocation, meaning we're gonna invoke the spirit of freedom, liberty, and justice, please put your hands together for the Reverend Paul Brandeis Rauschenbusch.

Y'all should be well in the spirit at this point.

Is everybody in the spirit?

That's what I'm talking about.

That's right.

We're going to call the spirit of our ancestors to make sure that we do justice on tonight.

And we are going to start with one of the true fighters in the United States Senate and his very important guest.

So please put your hands together for Senator Chris Murphy and... Farishtay Ganjavi.

Thank you.
