58 for tens of thousands of folks. Why are you texting me? I'm busy trying to remove bystanders from becoming protestors or protestors becoming agitators. That's how I'm thinking. I'm trying to triage people in my brain of who can I save, because nobody needs to be hit with tear gas. Nobody needs to be hit at all.

And Soso [sic] I was very frustrated, very mad. And I'm of the opinion that the President's words without the context of where to go was not helpful.

But, you know, as someone who's done professional events, that's, you know, the agreement should have been honored and we should have had the speeches talking about Lot 8.

What people were you not going to denounce in this text?

Excuse me?

What people were you not going to denounce?

Okay. I'm really excited to take an opportunity to clarify what I meant, because there is a viral video that—where it shows me on top of 101 Constitution Avenue. And I do a video, and I said I don't denounce this. I don't disavow this.People want me to disavow this. And this is kind of a tool of rhetoric and debate that I got from my late friend, Andrew Breitbart. Apologize for what, you know, he said. Apologize for what? And that was to say that you don't owe your enemies an apology. And then my Christian doctrine is, like, but you owe them something when you've done something wrong.

So, first off, I'd like to say I've done nothing wrong. And I did nothing wrong. So asking me to disavow the actions of other adults would be silly. People who didn't attend Lot 8, would be silly. People who disrupted my event from taking place, me to denounce them, that would seem silly.

And then what—the video's cut off but it's gone viral, millions of views, and
