31 This is a quote from a very famous political document called the Travis Letter. And! was quoting Alex Jones, quoting it because a lot of his audience was there the night of the 5th. I love history, and I'm a Texan. This is a very famous Texas political history moment at the Alamo.

America’s full of quotes like this that emphasize one’s values, that one values liberty more than having longevity as life as a slave. This is the history of Americans and American descendents of slaves, my ancestors. This echoes the Gadsden flag, quote, "Join Or Die," "Give me liberty or give me death," by Patrick Henry, the Magna Carta, Harriet Tubman's own words, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, our Founding Fathers and Mothers. And it was said in this context. The Travis Letter is out of the Alamo. No one was talking about winning or overthrowing the Mexican Government, which is where this quote comes from. They just refuse to be prisoners.

I don't believe in unjustified violence. I went out of my way to talk about that or being an aggressor. I never believe in being the aggressor. No one was talking about a violent overthrow of the United States Government that night or day. Again, this quote is just a popular quote on Alex Jones' Infowars show. His audience made up, I think, about a third of our rallies—I talked about this internally—and would often use quotes from popular personalities.

So this was Alex—this was me quoting Alex Jones, quoting the Travis Letter from 1836. No one went there was committed to violence, or we wouldn't have had permits.

So let's go back to exhibit 26, page 270. You've already briefly discussed Mr. Thomas Van Flein, who we've established is—was Mr. Gosar’s chief of staff. And I'll give you a second to get to the page.

Thank you. You say this was—
