143 it.

What was the concern—who were you afraid the cops would think that it was affiliated with?

That's a good question, because I can't imagine what the concern would be.

I think you can; your "stop the steal," you change it to One Nation Under God.

We did not change it. That did not happen. That's factually incorrect.

Your organization was called "stop the steal." At the time that the permit was obtained, One Nation Under God I don't believe previously existed, and then it suddenly exists for the permit.

That's the event name, which is synonymous, and this is what I am telling you. My consultant says—and my own observation and experience tells me that this is true. So my consultant is not lying to me. If someone throws an anti-CCP, pro-Uyghur event, then in line one what they put is yadda, yadda, yadda. Now, I don't it even know what the applications look like the permit applications look like, and it is a working process until the day of. So it's not a permit. It's an application, and there are all kinds of amendments or whatever. I'm not really concerned about that. There are some things that you can't do, and then there are other things that are political considerations. And I'm not worried about that because to me what I have heard from my consultant based off his conversations was they were aware, based off of Trump's tweet, that hundreds of thousands of people were going to be on the Capitol. My consultant told me that based off a conversation that he had with the U.S. Capitol Police.

So I'm not worried that we're disguising anything. And that we are following the rules. We never changed the name. We have an event to accommodate people.
