| 0:00.0 | Welcome to this edition of the warning here on Substack, live chat with Harry Dunn. |
| 0:07.8 | Harry, welcome. |
| 0:09.4 | Steve, thank you. |
| 0:10.3 | Thank you, my friend. |
| 0:11.1 | Good to be with you. |
| 0:11.9 | I wanted to ask you, first off, as we get started, take me back to a week before January 6th, 2021. What's your life like? |
| 0:29.8 | You know, Steve, I was a proud member of the United States Capitol Police at that time, a week |
| 0:35.9 | before, probably 12 years of service already |
