This is going to be a really good show. I'm glad you're here tonight. Thanks for being here.

So this was Washington, D.C. today, ahead of the big snowstorm that is rolling into Washington right now.

Tonight, that is a snowstorm big enough that it's already canceled some of the action.

We thought we were going to be watching late into the wee hours tonight on Capitol Hill.

But ahead of that storm, this was Washington

today. Tons of people in the streets. People turned out just outside the U.S. Capitol,

upper Senate Park to protest, to support the civil service, support the people who work for

the government, to protest our government being dismantled by President Trump and, of course, by his top campaign donor.

This administration maintains that they're going to boost efficiency, but they are doing

the most inefficient things imaginable. And I'm not just saying that quite literally. The most inefficient

thing you could possibly do is take American taxpayer dollars and pay people not to work.

They are afraid of you. Trump and Musk and the oligarchs they work for, they are scared of your

power. But they are betting that you will be afraid of them.

So afraid that you will accept a buyout or comply in advance with their assertion of absolute power.

But we know a president is not a king unless we bow. A dictator is not a dictator unless we bow. Our knees, your knees are not made for

bowing to power drunk neophasus. We bow only to God. To everybody else, we stand. And speak truth to power.

We stand tall. When they attack workers, we stand tall

because whenever wannabe dictators have tried to take over throughout history, they always

start with workers. Hear me now, they always start with government workers who are committed

to a government of the people, by the people, and for the

people.

And they know as long as workers stay together and fight haters can't win.
