All right, everyone.

Happy Monday and welcome to the Joy Reid show.

Big ups to everybody in the chats.

We see you out here. Uh-oh. why is that talking? Stop, talk, talk. Oh, my computer decided to make extra noises. But still, big up to everyone in the chats. We appreciate everybody. Thank you all for watching. We can see all the early birdies, including the Lemonheads from Michigan. Please shout out where you're from North Carolina also in the house.

We've got hello, beautiful people from Nati C.

We appreciate that.

And we say, yes, hit the like button and hit the light button for joy for democracy.

We appreciate that.

Yes, for democracy.

We want y'all to do that.

Welcome to Joy, Reachow.

Definitely keep shouting out where you're watching from. I want to let you all know that even as we speak right now, the Webby Awards are happening. Yes, Jason, can we get a round of applause? The Webby Awards, where we are a awardee. Welly awards are taking place right now in New York City. Now, clearly we're not there because we're here with you, but I want to congratulate the whole gang, Jason, Winnie, Wange, Adrian, Sean, Ron, Nitha, Cameron, Miles, Angela, the whole TJRS crew for the win. The speech that we asked you, our wonderful readers, to help us write, and that you voted on, yes, Nitha's speech won the day, but each of you had great ideas will be part of the compiled speeches. They're going to compile all the speeches. Just

want to really quickly remind you what our speech says. Here it is. I am still here, bitches.

I'm still here, bitches. That's our speech on tonight.

So that's going to be compiled with all the other videos.

So congrats to everybody who helped us build this small but mighty TJRS ship.

It is speeding along to victory.

Quick announcements. The church announcements will begin now. For those of you who are in the overflow,

it is because you have a loud screaming child. That is on your parenting, not on this pastoral.

So here's some quick church announcements. Testimonyes will be later in the show. If you guys want to attend the Jerry Reid show live on June 11th, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is going to be great. It's going to be hilarious. Godfrey is absolutely hilarious. We're going to have a good time. We've got more surprises. It's going to be really, really fun. The bad news is we're basically fresh out of tickets. It's almost sold out.
