concern. So I have general security concerns wherever I go.

Q So what were your security concerns while were you planning the wild protest event at the Capitol?

A I wouldn't—I think general event security issues, principally is that antifa and some other fringe left-wing Socialists, Communist, Marxists, and other kind of gangs get away with violence unprosecuted here. I've seen my face on a target map. I've been called a nigger. I have been called everything by the left wing. And to this day, you can go to Twitter right now and find death threats about me.

And so when I tried to get security, I got paid security to take on the liability of confronting anyone if they confront me, self-defense only, but volunteer veterans or police officers, first responders are mostly there to keep a perimeter around equipment.

Q Did you conduct a threat analysis while you're preparing the security for the wild protest?

A Me personally?

Q Yeah. As you're planning to for the event, did your Stop the Steal or anyone engaged with planning this event, did you conduct a threat analysis?

A I trust other people to do stuff like that. I myself am not qualified to do a threat analysis. I've heard of this term, and I've, you know, it has probably been said to me in passing or something like that. But, you know, an intelligent assessment would require the time to be able do it. And I lack the time to collect anything of what was happening on the ground or interface with the police directly myself. I hire people, or have people delegated to that who have that expertise.

Q Did you hire someone to conduct a threat analysis for your event?

A I don't recall either way.
