And literally right after the live show was this declaration of this bullshit ceasefire.

And I said, are we going to wake up tomorrow morning and it's business as usual and politics as usual on Wednesday morning?

Because if we are, there's something fatally wrong with us as a country.

It's like my sister, my sister here, right?

Listen, my profane sister, but you know what?

Our hearts are in the right places.

And I always like to say to people, you may not like the words I'm using, but you should appreciate the message because I do care.

And it's for the fight.

It really is.

It's in the defense truly of our democracy.

And I know that you're in that fight with me as are all of your listeners.

And so I'm very grateful for the privilege of this time with you always.

Always.

Thanks, Katie.

Thank you.

Good evening, everyone.

I'm Katie Bethel, and I'm the Executive Director of MoveOn.

MoveOn is one of the largest progressive advocacy organizations in the country.

We're a force of millions, with members in every congressional district in America.

And on behalf of our members and our co-hosts, the Midas Touch Network, it is my privilege to welcome you to the People's State of the Union.
