24 session.

So I couldn't—I can't recall all the speakers. I'm trying ta be—you know, I'm trying to provide the record and y'all, the committee, with as much an information as I can. Obviously, the Members of Congress were no longer going ta be able to speak, because they were in session. But the original plan was that they would be able to speak if there was no Ellipse event.

So what Members of Congress were originally supposed to speak at your event?

I can say with certainty one name, and that's, you know, Representative Paul Gosar was going to speak if the event was happening at 9 a.m. or whenever, whenever I said it was starting. And what happens is that a variety of people, like, for example, you know, there's a Pennsylvania radio show hast Rose Tennent who is very close friends with Representative Mike Kelly. And so, what I would say is I didn't talk to Representative Mike Kelly, and I didn't talk to his staff. And I didn't get a confirmation. And I didn't even know that he's on the website. And probably shouldn't be volunteering information.

But what I am saying is that I try my best to represent things that are true. And things get updated or moved and that's been butchered in the press. I actually think that this committee, you know, obviously is going to understand a truer version of events than has ever been reported, and that's unfortunate, because a lot of people are taking even deepfakes, or photoshops, or real images online and saying this didn't happen or this, this. And it is like, well, things were moving all the way up until the morning of January 6th when my speech is canceled.

So, you know, Dr. Paul Gosar was certainly scheduled to originally speak, but no Member of Congress was going to be able to speak because they were in joint session
