55 Yeah you read it accurately.

Okay.

But here's the nuance.

Sure.

The nuance is that is -- that's from post-understanding of what happened and through my discussions with, like, Matt Pottinger, where we got to. So the assumption, when you said 3 January, when I first heard this was on 6 January. But subsequent to a discussion with Matt, I -- my understanding is that Miller, the Assistant Secretary of Defense, has been told in advance 3rd of January to do that.

So, so I didn't -- so the book is a reflection post-6 January, what I assumed to have happened after talking with Mark Meadows, Matt Pottinger, and the rest of them.

Okay.

The first time I heard about it, going to, not the book, but was on the 6th of January.

Okay. Very good. And that was actually going to be one of my questions. What knowledge or what you had on January 6th, does this predate or postdate? So the information that's written about in your book you're saying is from information you learned after January 6th or on or after January 6th.

Yeah, that's when we started talking, yeah.

Okay. And you said that you learned this information from talking to Mr. Meadows and Mr. Pottinger?

And Acting Secretary Miller and his chief of staff. I can't --

Mr. Kash Patel.

The Yeah, his chief of staff, Kash Patel.
