GOVERNMENT
are kids getting hurt — and that’s when the decision comes to my mind. That’s right. I’m going inside. How many people there would you say you knew? Anybody? I saw Jake Angeli [the QAnon Shaman] for like, a minute. I knew him from the rallies in Phoenix. Outside of that, no. The only reason I was with the Proud Boys, and this has been stated many times, is that I knew a couple of the Proud Boys from Arizona who used to work out at my gym in Laveen. And, actually, the Proud Boys chapter in Arizona is probably 75% Hispanic, so it’s hard to call them white supremacists. You were charged with a relatively minor crime compared to other J6ers, especially given that you were one of the first people inside. Part of that might be that you’re one of very few who had a clean record before that day. I know. So, why are you so well known? You’re one of, I’d say, the top five J6ers getting national news coverage. Is it because of your internet celebrity?

Obviously, it wasn’t everyone, or you and Jake wouldn’t have been there. Walk me through that morning up until the moment you realized. I woke up at a motel in Virginia. I got dressed — you know there’s the photo of me in the mirror, in the court documents, because that was me just before I got in the car to go to D.C. We got to the National Monument where all the Proud Boys were at. I had a med kit and food on me, because nothing was open. The next thing I hear is, ‘Hey, everyone is going to the Capitol.’ Next thing I know, we’re at the Capitol, and I’m somehow magically in the front. This is where everything begins. And I’m like, ‘What the hell?’ That’s when I see undercover cops come out of the tunnels, people on roofs, flashbangs hitting, cops beating on people. That’s
