January 8, 2025


"Thank you very much for coming. And I'm give this field a couple times. I actually didn't anticipate so many people coming. Yeah!


I like the golden chairs, which is a great thing. But here's the deal, right?


Today, Today is the very first day where you see the cracks in the foundation of the establishment swamp start to form. And it starts to form not because of me or anything I could do or any other representative really, but because of you. Because you're here to have your voice heard in your Capitol building. This is your building. This is your offices. And everyone here serves you.


And this is why we are to remind them of that and above all things, committing this day to the path that the Lord has brought us all here for the same reason, and to give the voice back to the people.


So we have another crowd coming in 11. They're on their way up here now. And I will have some materials for you all. You will have a map of the building, all the offices and a list of all the representatives. If you are going to speak to anybody or encourage them or support them today, I ask that you obviously be very respectful, respect, really the building and the history here because this is the government, but it's your government and this is your voice and today is all about you. So I'm going to that material for you now.


I just want to say above all guys and if you can, from the very bottom of my heart, on behalf of me and my family, thank you!


But a lot of people prayed for me and that is the reason we were able to make it all the way to today.


No matter the smears no matter the attacks this had to happen this message had to be sent didn't it? And this is the message we're going to send and we're not going to give up we're not going away They can't intimidate us. They can't silence us. They can't smear us into silence. We won't go away. We will have our voices heard. That begins today.


If you would, please bow your heads with me as I lead us in prayer to dedicate this day.


Lord, we gather together, we join our faith together, and we invite Your presence to this building. As we take our oath of office, Lord, we commit it to You. We intend to make this a godly government and return this government to the voice of the people. And we can only do that, Lord, by Your Hand of providence, just like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and many of our founders before us. Lord, they asked for Your guiding hand and I do the same today. I ask that You would bless everybody traveling. Bless everyone that is here and bless every interaction with all the representatives today and all of the proceedings, that we are about to embark upon. We dedicate it to You and Your glory in Jesus Name. Amen.


Okay, I'm going to get you a material for you now, but I will be around, I will answer any of your questions, I will talk to all of you, because honestly, I want to see all of you and give you a big hug. Thank you for coming to the Capitol!"
