"First, I would like to thank the Crossroads Foundation immensely and all the staff of this foundation for inviting me to speak at this legitimate gathering advocating for the enhancement of medical benefits for veteran retirees. I am deeply honored."
"Perhaps some of you in the audience may find it odd that a gathering of old soldiers would invite a guy like me, clad in a robe. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Matt Lead, the Chief Elder of the God's Messenger Church, and the brethren within the church are more accustomed to calling me Messenger Lead. OK, everyone, you can let go of the idea of picking up a gun and blowing my brains out. I promise that I'm not here today to raise funds for the church, nor to invite anyone to join the sect I am currently part of. I'm here to talk about why you have shown up here, why you are so angry."
