Q Real quick, sitting here today, can you remember anyone on behalf of or associated with the Stop the Steal or One Nation Under God event conducting any kind of threat analysis for that rally?
A What I recall is trusting the U.S. Capitol Police to communicate to us what we needed to do, what they would do, and any, any concerns. And the permitting process is an open process until the day of. And so I hired people to interface with the U.S. Capitol Police and all other government agencies. And they communicated with them on a regular basis. And sometimes, in our previous events, I don't recall January 6th receiving them, but sometimes if police want to pass something through us, we would get that. But I—I don't really recall today anything. But the process is super elaborate, and security is not my primary expertise.
Q Outside of the interaction with the Capitol Police, do you know of anyone at Stop the Steal or One Nation Under God who conducted a threat analysis for that event?
A I am the only officer, you know, at Stop the Steal, I'm a one-man shop, and I have volunteers that do work with me and stuff like that. But, and that Stop the Steal the organization, not Stop the Steal the hashtag, not Stop the Steal when someone is chanting "stop the steal," not "stop the steal" that originated in 2016 with Roger Stone.
My Stop the Steal is a protest movement. It has 500 peaceful rallies in 50 States under its belt, and January 6th was not one of ours. So this seems like a specific term, and if you guys reference something, I can tell you if I recognize something or not, but it is not triggering anything.
Q If you don't know the term, then you can say I'm not aware of any threat analysis being conducted on that day on behalf of Stop the Steal.
A Today I do not. You know, I do not recall—I do not recall—I do not recall, you know, like, paying $50,000 for a threat analysis or anything like that. That's what it
