1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Truckers have become public enemy number one, and anyone that

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: supports them, you are also the equivalent of a domestic terrorists.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: This is a major roadway has opened up because the

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: truckers did not become violent. You would think that would

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: be actually, I don't know, celebrated or appreciated, but what

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: we do know is truckers around the world are fighting

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: back peacefully. Now a quick reminder, if you're listening to

Speaker 1: us a five star review to help us as Democrats

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: have been attacking our podcasts recently with bad reviews. Now,

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: New Zealand is now going after their truckers and they're

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: now blaming a quote mysterious imported force for the freedom

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: convoys that New Zealand's Prime Minister is now having to

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: deal with. Who is that mysterious imported force. It's not

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Russia collusion, it's Donald Trump collusion. That's right, The Prime

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: minister pointed at Canadian flags. She's also blaming Canada and

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Images on the streets of Wellington is evidence

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: of her new conspiracy claim that this isn't really our

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: people sitting up against me, the Prime Minister of New Zealand. No, no, no,

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm blaming the imported forces of the world for what

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: has just happened. Quote. I've seen Trump flags on the

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: fore court. I've seen Canadian flags on the fore court.

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: That is who is to blame for this. It feels

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: like an imported protest to me. So all the people

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: out there that are actually citizens of New Zealand, I

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: don't see you. All I see is imported people. That's right.

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Former President Donald Trump is the real problem here in

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Canada for importing this. Quote. That means at the very

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: point where we are seeing an increase in cases and

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: an increase in risk. She went on to say to

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: the public health with COVID cases she's now claiming are

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: on the rise, the well being of Zealand and the

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: people should be angry. These people, referring to the truckers,

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: which are Trump loving Canadians apparently imported from around the world. Well,

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: they want to remove the very measures that have kept

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: us safe. Have they really kept us safe? Because the

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: dad is showing not so much. Lockdowns haven't kept us safe?

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Mass mandates have not kept us safe. Vaccines, you could argue,

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: have not kept us safe compared to what they said

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: they were going to do. I'm not saying that I'm

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: anti vaxx. I want to make that clear. But what

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: is clear is this, they want you to believe they've

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: done everything right and anyone that's calling them out as

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: clearly an anarchist or a foreigner or a member of

47
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: some CIA type group that's trying to infiltrate the country.

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: That's exactly why New Zealand's Prime minister says all of

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: her measures have kept us safe, alive and well, quote,

50
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: you'll forgive me if it takes a very strong view

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: on that's you'll forgive me if I take a very

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: strong view on that suggestion by the truckers that we

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: should stop all of our mandates. I'm keeping you alive, right,

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm keeping you safe. I very clearly have a view

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: on the protesters and the way that they've conducted their

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: protests because it has moved beyond sharing a view to

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: now intimidation harassment of the people around Wellington. She says

58
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: that will not be tolerated. New Zealand is now moving

59
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: to arrest those truck drivers. New Zealand also has mandates

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: that certain workers get vaccinated against COVID nineteen, which is

61
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: exactly why the truckers are doing what they are doing

62
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: in Canada. But New Zealand goes even further than that.

63
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Their vaccine mandates include teachers, doctors, nurses, police, and military personnel.

64
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: In New Zealand, you have to have a vaccine passport

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: is required to enter most stores and restaurants. But remember,

66
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: she's keeping you safe. Even though the cases are rising. Quote,

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Wellington's have the right to move freely and safely around

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: the city. So all roads being clearer is my top priority.

69
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: As the government comes down on those truck drivers. Now

70
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: there's road going back and forth between American Canada has

71
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: been cleared. Why because the truck drivers they decided to

72
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: be peaceful. So now it's time for the media to

73
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: mock them, to demean them, to dehumanize them, to actually

74
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: act like there's some sort of wooses or empty tigers.

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: They're fakes, they're frauds, they're not real. These people should

76
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: be crushed easily because look how spineless they really are

77
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: when the government came in against them. Here's part of

78
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: the conversation from CNN just a couple hours ago. Traffic

79
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: is flowing once again across a key trade route linking

80
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: the US and Canada, this after police cleared out COVID

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: mandate protesters there. Demonstrators blocked the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit

82
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: and Windsor, Ontario for nearly one week, crippling supply chains

83
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: and costing millions of dollars in lost business CNS. Miguel

84
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Marquez is live in Windsor, and Miguel, traffic, as we

85
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: see behind you is moving. Now. Are there concerns that

86
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: protesters may come back and they're not done causing these disruptions? Yeah,

87
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: most definitely. That is the main concern in the immediate

88
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: future for police here, which you know, after all of

89
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the drama of the last week, it ended sort of

90
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: with a whimper, about thirty arrests, About twelve cars were

91
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: eventually towed. Great patience and restraint on the part of

92
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: police who just basically waited out the protesters for a

93
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: couple of days before moving them all out. But now

94
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: the challenge is going to be keeping that corridor open

95
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: because the bridge when you get off on the Canadian side,

96
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: it's about three miles of surface streets until you hit

97
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: the next highway, and there's lots of areas where they

98
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: can Protesters have said they're going to get in, they're

99
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: going to try to slow things down. There's still a

100
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: very heavy police presence along this route trying to keep

101
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: anyone who moves in there moving along and not letting

102
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: anyone basically. So it's going to have to continue for

103
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: a while because you have protests, border protests across Canada

104
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: as well, several other locations across Canada, much smaller border

105
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: crossings than this one, and not they don't pack nearly

106
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: the economic punch as the as the closing of the

107
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: border crossing here. But other protests in Canada still going on,

108
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: and obviously in Ottawa as well, where protesters have taken

109
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: over Parliament Hill there and refusing to leave, and maybe

110
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: some will leave and then they don't. So there's there's

111
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: a lot of fighting going on among the protesters themselves.

112
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: The start offices and hold on, hold on hold. There's

113
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fighting going on among the protesters themselves

114
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: based on what based on what these guys are completely united,

115
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: the citizens are supporting them, are united. They're also willing

116
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: to abide by many of the laws and be peaceful.

117
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: This bridge between the US and Canada reopens after protesters

118
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: are cleared. Many of them walked away because they were peaceful.

119
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: They didn't want to fight, but they wanted to make

120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: a point. And now you're mocking them. You say this,

121
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: and again I'm quoting exact quote here from CNN. You know,

122
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: these protesters, these truckers are wrapped in the notion of

123
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: freedom quote whatever that means. And then you're going to say, well, basically,

124
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: and this is exact quote, basically, they want exactly what

125
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: they want, which is all of those restrictions gone. That's

126
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: exactly right, that's what they want. But you mocked them.

127
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: Now you think this is going to make them just

128
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: go home and stop fighting. Now, the other part about

129
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: this hypocrisy is you notice how now they're they're trying

130
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: to just demean them as like, oh, this is just

131
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of empty tigers. These people are wooses. They

132
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: got you know, they left when the government showed up.

133
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: We should crush them all easily. I have a question

134
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: what changed so quickly, because for the last three weeks

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: you've been telling me that these truckers are the most

136
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: dangerous people in the world. You've been telling them me

137
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: their domestic terrorists, they're anarchists. You've been telling me they're

138
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: going to be violent. You've been telling me they're clansmen.

139
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: You've been telling me that they are the worst people

140
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: in the world. So which one is it? Are they

141
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: empty suits? Are they an empty tiger? Or or are

142
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: they actually terrorists? Because you can't have it both ways.

143
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Right in New Zealand, they're still referring to them as like, oh,

144
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: these are imported domestic terrorists. In Canada, they were terrorists

145
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: for two and a half. Three weeks now Trudeau refer

146
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: to them as anarchists, right, these are not Canadians. Well,

147
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: you know these people are are racists, they're bigots. They're

148
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: gonna try to burn down cities, which they haven't done.

149
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: Now you're like, oh, they're empty suits. No problems here.

150
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: I go back to her montage. This is the news,

151
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: and this is the politicians, and this is what they've

152
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: been saying about the truck drivers in Canada, and now

153
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the entire story changes. They're a

154
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: bunch of just woosses, They're a bunch of just empty suits.

155
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: They're just a small minority that can be crushed by

156
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: the government. Sedition insurrection, a threat to democracy. Sedition insurrection,

157
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: threat to democracy. That's how they were profiling them on

158
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: CNN A week ago, Ottawa mayor declaring a state of emergency.

159
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Is vaccine mandate? Protests grow across Canada. Right, We're gonna then,

160
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna tow them, We're gonna drag them from their trucks.

161
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: This is this edition. This is anarchy. They're holding us hostage.

162
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: They were referred to as some of the media see

163
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: this city is under siege. They are now calling it

164
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: another it's under siege. This is a this is a

165
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: moment of war. This is all under we are under siege.

166
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Alarming situation there in Ottawa, Yes, an alarming situation there

167
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: in Ottawa. It's alarming. Well what happened to being alarmed?

168
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Because now you're acting like these people are empty suits.

169
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Police chief is calling it a nationwide insurrection driven by madness. Yes,

170
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: driven by madness, I tell you, yes, a nationwide insurrection

171
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: driven by madness. Yes. The people that want freedom are

172
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: the mad men of society, the mad women of society.

173
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: Remember this is the same exact thing over and over again.

174
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: We are seeing this over and over and over and

175
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: over again. We are seeing this. When people stand up

176
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: for freedom, what do they do? They call you a terrorist?

177
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: You don't believe me. Do you remember what they were

178
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: saying about the parents that showed up at school board meetings,

179
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: how they referred to them as domestic terrorists. Do you

180
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: remember that parents that showed up for school board meetings

181
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: were they wanted to label them the Democratic Party and

182
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: the teachers' unions labeled not wanted to They did label

183
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: them as domestic terrorists. They wanted to ban them forever

184
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: from school board meetings. They were domestic terrorists. And now, haha,

185
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: you better get ready because they're trying to organize in America,

186
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: these truckers trying to organize in America. Yeah, we got

187
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: something coming for you now. It's very important that the

188
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: truckers in America understand what they're up against. You have.

189
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: The media wants to indict you. So I'm warning you

190
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: about that. You have to make sure that you don't

191
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: break laws because in America we are different than other countries.

192
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: And if you break laws, they're going to punish you,

193
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: and they're going to attack you, and they're going to

194
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: come after you, and organizing this thing comes with a

195
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: lot of risks because the media is all ready to

196
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: describe these people as domestic terrorists. So if you are

197
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: a truck driver, if you know a truck driver, and

198
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: you're excited about hearing that there's going to be activity

199
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: in America, you need to know the details. You need

200
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: to know the facts, You need to know how this

201
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: is going to be put together and how you're going

202
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: to organize. Joining me now to talk about this as

203
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: a man that is behind getting these truckers organizes. The

204
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: chair and the founder of GAP, the Great American Patriot Project,

205
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: Alex Phillips, is with us. Alex, I appreciate you coming

206
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: on and we set the stage before we brought you

207
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: in about what's happening to these truckers, how they're being

208
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: described by the media, how they're being attacked, and there's

209
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: a real problem now logistically to organize. And I think

210
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: you've seen this and I want to get your reaction

211
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: to what has happened in Canada. You know, they tried

212
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: to suffocate these truck drivers in Canada by stopping the

213
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: funds when they went in to go fund me they

214
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: raised you know, twenty million dollars or whatever the number was,

215
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: and they froze those funds. Then they found another place

216
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: that would be willing to accept donations, they had to stop,

217
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: all start all over to get more funds. And then

218
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: the government said, we're going to take that money because

219
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: we believe it could be used for terrorism or anarchy

220
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: or the attacks on cities and the burning of season

221
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: not a joke, even though you can still get money

222
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: to Black Lives Matter all over these sites on go

223
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: fund me, and they were actually doing this in America.

224
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: So in this country, we've got to clearly organize the

225
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: right way. We have to make sure that when we

226
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: give money that the money is not only one transparent,

227
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: but there's honesty and integrity involved in the process, but

228
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: two that it doesn't get stolen or not delivered to

229
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: the people that are going to need it. And that's

230
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: where you guys came in and said, hey, we can

231
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: accomplish all this by learning from what just happened in Canada. Yes, Ben,

232
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. So, yeah, we've been paying

233
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: attention closely to what's been going on. The Great American

234
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: Patriot Project is all about you know, supporting, you know,

235
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: the Great American Dream, so to speak. And you know

236
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: that it comes down to what the Constitution says. And

237
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: truckers in the United States as well as many people

238
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: on social media specifically, are not getting a chance to

239
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: speakum and get their opinions across. And you know what

240
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: we saw in Canada is that you know, the truck

241
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: drivers there, you decided they were going to get together.

242
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: And really what we're seeing is old school you know activism.

243
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, Um, they can't speak publicly online anymore where

244
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: they had the power to do so, and so they

245
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: got they went old school that you know, they decided

246
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: they were going to do a convoy and um, you know,

247
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: they are counter narrative. They are against you know, the

248
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: government narratives of many government is actually all across the world,

249
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: and so you know there's a problem with that from

250
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: their perspective, the government's perspective, and so they've gone to

251
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: great lengths to to demonize what these people are doing

252
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: when they're just regular people just like the rest of us. Uh.

253
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: They work, you know, they work, they go, they go home,

254
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: they've got families, they've got you know, dreams, and and

255
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: they're being put down and they're taking time out of

256
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,479
Speaker 1: their lives, and these funds that were that were donated

257
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: by the public, whether it's you know in Canada or

258
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: around the world, was designed to help them sustain themselves

259
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: while they were moving forward. And and I'm kind of

260
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: surprised that the lengths that that the government in Canada

261
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: has gone through, but you know, we're taking we're taking

262
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: an example from that, and so we're trying to focus on,

263
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, how can we do it in a way

264
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: that we cannot be labeled and so you know, we're

265
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: going to be very transparent. We're using you know, our

266
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: pack as a as a means to take funds because

267
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: there's absolutely no way to hide anything there. Everything will

268
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: be completely transparent to the public of where the funds

269
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: are coming from and where they're going. UH. And we're

270
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: also asking everybody's participating that we're going to be working

271
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: with to agree to not break the law, and if

272
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: they violate that agreement, you know, they're not going to

273
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: be part of this group. UM. We want everybody to

274
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: have a chance to voice their opinions. We're going to

275
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: allow uh social media to participate with this UM and

276
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: if it's not you know, on Twitter or Facebook, it's

277
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: going to be on gap and rumble, and so you know,

278
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: that's where it's going to be. And that's that's the

279
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: people we're going to work with, because they're the ones

280
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: that are ready to take on the mantel to to

281
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: convey the message at these truckers because you know, I'm

282
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: just a regular guy, right, I'm not I'm not a politician,

283
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm not superman, I'm not anything. I'm just a regular guy.

284
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: And I know that these guys are out there and

285
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: gals are out there, you know, delivering and working hard.

286
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: They were asked to work through the entire pandemic to

287
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: make sure that we had food, toilet paper, uh, you know,

288
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: and everything else we needed to sustain life on a

289
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: regular basis. And we're seeing that, you know, they're being

290
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: pressured to to deal with some restrictions and mandates that

291
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: are are just really unconstitutional. And I think that everybody's

292
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: really starting to wake up to that, regardless of where

293
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: you are left or right, and then they're going to

294
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: make a statement. And so there's a lot of groups

295
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: out there that are going to be doing these convoys

296
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: and so all we're doing is we're trying to create

297
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: an environment where we can help let people who want

298
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: to help, because not everybody's gonna you know, not everybody

299
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: drives the truck, but they want to help these people

300
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, help them pay for gas

301
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: or diesel and lunch and dinner and breakfast, you know,

302
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: as they take time off of their schedules to do

303
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: this away from their families, to make a statement and

304
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, basically to put the hammer down on some

305
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: of this, uh what's going on with the government and

306
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: the mandates and and really a lot of unconstitutional activity.

307
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, were you shocked? And again,

308
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: if you want to get involved in help And that's

309
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: the reason why we're doing this series about these truckers

310
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: and what we're trying to do here in this country.

311
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: Knowing the limitations, I think is also part of the

312
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: reality that you guys have accepted on the front end

313
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: that you don't want to break the law, that you

314
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: want to set a tone example of we are rising

315
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: and we are standing up, but we're going to do

316
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: it in a lawful way, which is why so many

317
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: law enforcement I've actually already started back these truckers and

318
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: you can go online to American Truckers Freedom Fund dot com,

319
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: American Truckers Freedom Fund dot com and get involved. But

320
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: part of this, and I think I want to explain

321
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: the expectations here so that we can let you know

322
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: what the goal and the objective is before the media

323
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: tries to find it. It is to get as many

324
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: truckers involved in the country as we can. Whether it's

325
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: leaving from Fresno on the on the second of March,

326
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: whether it's leaving in Ohio, UH, in Cleveland on the sixth,

327
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: whether it's UH and going to DC. There's all of

328
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: these different corridors. You can see their maps, and it's

329
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: all transparent. UH. There's no hiding here, all right, So

330
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: people understand this, UH coming there, going from Cleveland and

331
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: going from Columbus and going from Fresno, and truckers are

332
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: going to be joining along the way in this convoy.

333
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: But you guys are not trying to do a blockade.

334
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: You're not trying to surround the White House. You're not

335
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: trying to shut down Washington, DC in the Capitol building.

336
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: That's not the objective and the goal here, and before

337
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: the media tries to tell you that these people are

338
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: domestic terrorists, and before the media tries to tell you

339
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: that they're anarchists, and before they tell you they're trying

340
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: to do January sixth over again, that is absolutely not

341
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: what you guys are planning and what these truckers are

342
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: trying to do. And I want to make that very clear.

343
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: So we have it on record two and a half

344
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: weeks in advance that this is what our objective is

345
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: and it's not what they're going to tell you it is.

346
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: That's correct. So again, like I said, we're going to

347
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: old school. We're trying to bring awareness and sometimes people

348
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: have to gather in mass, but we're working with law enforcement.

349
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: We're communicating with those people. We're telling them, hey, you know,

350
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: we don't want to be perceived as some kind of

351
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: group that it's going to obstruct or block or you know,

352
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: make a make a mess of the highways. So tell us,

353
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, give us, give us your feedback, tell us

354
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: what you want. We've been working. You know, DC is

355
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: one of the areas that we're being very sensitive about.

356
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: We're not going to be surrounding the White House. We're

357
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: not going to be going into DC to shut down

358
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: that that district. You know, we're gonna be very conscientious

359
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: about it. But it's very important for people to be

360
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: aware that, you know, there's no there's no class of

361
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: American that has more or less rights. And these people,

362
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: the truck drivers, they're very important, but it doesn't mean

363
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: that they're more important than anybody else. But it doesn't

364
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: mean they're less important than anybody else. They're all equal

365
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: under the law, and so their voice is not being heard.

366
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people's voices are not being heard. They're

367
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: they're a symbol right now, not just for the truck

368
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: drivers and the suppliers, but you know, the postman, you know,

369
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: all the people that are having to work hard during

370
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 1: the pandemic that you know, people that are working at

371
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: the grocery stores, everybody that has been forced to contend

372
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: with this situation. It's just these truck driver that they've

373
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: decided they're going to make a stand. They're going to

374
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: be the symbol for this right now. They are the

375
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: working class, uh leaders in this particular event. And but

376
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: they represent everybody and not just you know, not just

377
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: the people that are a blue collar, but they represent

378
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: the white collar, they represent anybody's collar. You know, they're

379
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: just taking the stand right now because you know, they

380
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: are a unified group. They're you know, they're they're Americans,

381
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: and they are white, they're black, they're all different races,

382
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: all different ethnicities, all different genders, all different religions. They're

383
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: not anything but Americans. So you know, it's very important

384
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: that people understand that. And like I said, we're gonna

385
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna be very transparent about this. We're we're just

386
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: focusing on logistics and communications and making sure that you know,

387
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: people get to support they need, and making sure that

388
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: we help the people that you know are doing the

389
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: right thing too. You know, we we don't want to

390
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: uh enable troublemakers and obstructionists and terrorism in any war.

391
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: You know, we're not We're not about that because that's

392
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: unproductive and it's not the American way. You know. Let's

393
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: talk about how the media is covering, um, these truckers

394
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: really anywhere in the world. Uh. They're referring them to insurrectionists,

395
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: They're referring to them as anarchists, they're referring to them

396
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: as KKK members, they're referring to them as is also

397
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: as Trump lovers, as they put it. I mean, they

398
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: are really doubling down on the rhetoric. Uh. And and

399
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: this rhetoric is that these are the worst people in

400
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the world coming together, uh you know, Trudeau is referred

401
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: to them as a as a minority that should not

402
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: be looked at, that should not be supported, that they

403
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: are not true Canadians. They've tried to take away their

404
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: uh you know, even their citizenship in a way that

405
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: they're that they're somehow not advocating for freedom. And if

406
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: you look at these truckers in Canada and what they've

407
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: been able to accomplish while being peaceful, I think it's

408
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: truly incredible. I think it's truly unbelievable what they've been

409
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: able to accomplish. And now you see a media that's

410
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: mocking these Canadian truck drivers as some of them are

411
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: going back to work, some of them are trying to

412
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: just go and support their families now after making a

413
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: statement and inspiring others, And I worry that what you're

414
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: going to witness here is a dehumanization of you guys

415
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: in a way that I think is anti American. I

416
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: think this is the most American thing that you can

417
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: do to go get in a truck, take days off work,

418
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: drive across the country and make it clear that these

419
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates for truckers going across the borders absurd, especially

420
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: when we have an open southern border and we're not

421
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: testing people coming across the border. That this is all

422
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: about the tyrants showing how much power they have over you.

423
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: And yet they're going to call these truck drivers and

424
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: already are on TV un American. Yes, you know, it's

425
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: inevitable that kind of stuff when anytime you're counterne narrative

426
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: that you know, the people that are in charge of

427
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: the elite, the government, uh will will basically say that you're,

428
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, doing something Unamerican. But I think something interesting

429
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: has been happening, um. And you know, I think that

430
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: in Canada, they had not only the media against them,

431
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: but they had the government against them, and they were

432
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: able to shut them down from being funded, but it

433
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: didn't stop them from conveying their message, and they were

434
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: able to make a lot of people aware of what

435
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: was going on and make some change. And I think

436
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: that's going to happen here. Um. But public is starting

437
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: to become aware of, you know, the differences between right

438
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: and wrong, and truth and fiction and and what's propaganda

439
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: and what's actually real because you know, most of these

440
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: truck drivers are just regular Americans. They're just like most

441
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: people in this country. Yes, there's a lot of people

442
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: that are afraid of the pandemic, and they've been they've

443
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: been conditioned to be afraid. And they wear the masks.

444
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: They wear two masks, three masks, they've got five different

445
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: you know shots in their arm, you know, and those

446
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: people are afraid, and and I feel bad for them.

447
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: But most most people are starting to become aware that

448
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you know, we got to move on

449
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: with life. You know, things are bad all over the

450
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: all over the world for one reason or another. But

451
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, nothing that that that the government is doing

452
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: right now that's taking away our civil liberties, making that

453
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: much of a difference. And so it's time to move on.

454
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: It's time for everybody to stand up, pull up, you know,

455
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: pull their pants up, so to speak, and and basically,

456
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 1: you know, get on with life and not be afraid

457
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: all the time. And these truckers are our core component

458
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: of American life. And that you know, they're a blue

459
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: collar class of people. They work hard, there's no doubt

460
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: about that. You know, they work tirelessly, long hours, uh,

461
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: unrespected by you know, the elite. But yet you know,

462
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: the first thing everybody complains about is that the grocery stores,

463
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: uh you know, bear of you know, frozen foods or

464
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: toilet paper. And that's because you know, we've we've made

465
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, such a bad example um in policy to

466
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: these folks that you know, they just they can't do

467
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: but so much. But they are working their butts off.

468
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: They're putting the hammer down on this situation and they're

469
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: going to start, you know, going old school and put

470
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: together a convoy and demonstrate legally like this country was

471
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: meant to be. You know, there's a lot of people

472
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: online and we've been getting so many messages from people

473
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: just with even our part one about what is being

474
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: organized here and saying how can I get involved? I

475
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: would argue, it's two things you can do at this point,

476
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: and I want to get your response to this one. Yes,

477
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: these truckers are going to need money for their basic

478
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: food and for the diesel and taking the days off

479
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: work so that they can able to accomplish, especially driving

480
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: literally from California all the way to watch INDC. But

481
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: number two, as you see this corridor map, which is

482
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: again this is all being incredibly transparent and that's part

483
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: of why I love the way that you guys are

484
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: organizing this. There's not secrecy, this is transparency. Here's where

485
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: we're going to be, here's what we're doing, this is

486
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: what time we're going to be there. If you see

487
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: this convoy coming across the country close to you, you

488
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: can join in, even if it's for twenty miles or

489
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: fifty miles or one hundred miles, just so that people

490
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: understand that it's not just the truck drivers are standing up,

491
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: it's Americans. And that's what we've seen in Canada. We've

492
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: witnessed people in Canada doing exactly that. I'm shocked at

493
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: what's happened in Canada and and and honestly how it's

494
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: evolved into the fact that you know, first to go

495
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: fund me shut them down and there was no reason

496
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: for that. And then you know, another organization took up

497
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: the mantel to sit to be a focal point for fundraising,

498
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: and the judge you know, in that and that in

499
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: that country has basically uh blocked that money from being

500
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: handed out, calling it a crime and so and to

501
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: go so far as I have read on social media

502
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: over the weekend that that somebody's hacked and shut down

503
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: that that organization. And I'm thinking myself, who is doing this?

504
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: You know, who is behind this massive onslaught of of

505
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: attack to stop people from driving down the road in

506
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: an organized and peaceful manner um to to basically protest

507
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: something they don't believe in. When you know, just it

508
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: was just, you know, not too long ago that fundraisers

509
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: were abound for destroying city. You know this, all this

510
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: money was being funneled into campaigns to shut down cities,

511
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: to create crime and rea havoc in a manner that's

512
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: totally Unamerican, and people on both sides of the aisle,

513
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 1: on every race, creed, color, religion, didn't agree with, you know,

514
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: and yet it's just allowed. And so we're gonna we're

515
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: gonna learn, you know, we we we they set the rules.

516
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be very transparent. Everybody's going to commit

517
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: to not breaking the law. They're gonna have to be

518
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: law abiding citizens. They're gonna you know, we're working with

519
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: law enforcement to make sure that we don't create any

520
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: kind of disruption of thoroughfares or anything like that. But

521
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: but we're going to be seen. These people are going

522
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: to be seen. They're going to be heard, and they're

523
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: going to be noticed, and people are going to have

524
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: to recognize that there's something that's not right. And I'm

525
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: so proud of the truck drivers. You know, they're they're

526
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: a mainstay of our society. There. They keep us supplied

527
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: with things. They deliver our our food, they deliver our

528
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: toilet papers, they deliver our boxes or Christmas gifts, you know,

529
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: everything we need to make our lives work every day.

530
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: And they're just sort of like they're in the background.

531
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: But now they're not. They're going to be in the foreground.

532
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna see and they're going to represent not just

533
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: themselves in their industry, but every American that is being

534
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: forgotten about, every American that's being you know, shut down

535
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: by the elite in this particular case, they're gonna be

536
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: I think there's big change that's happening in this country.

537
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: And one of the ways that I describe it as

538
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: look at the Olympics and how people have just saying

539
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm not watching this anymore, I'm not going to give

540
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: you my money, I'm not going to support you anymore.

541
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: When you do what you're doing, when you're the genocide

542
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: games as I describe them. I mean, even NBC News

543
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: has had to come out and say they admit, hey,

544
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: fifty percent ratings down compared to the last window Olympics.

545
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: And it's because people have just had enough. They've had

546
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: enough of what of what's happening in China, They've had

547
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: enough of the American media treating them the way they

548
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: are treating them like their domestic terrorists. If you're a

549
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: parent that shows up for a school board meeting, I

550
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: truly believe that Joe Biden is going to be the

551
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: biggest gift to freedom that we've seen probably in forty

552
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: years in this country because of the way that he

553
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: has treated and Nancy Pelosi have treated people. Look at

554
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: look at what happened even with a Super Bowl, the

555
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: number of celebrities and the number of elected officials that

556
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: have demanded mass mandates, put mass mandates on your kids

557
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: in schools who were there clearly not wearing masks. And

558
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: it's another example of do as I say, not as

559
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: I do. Right, it's I have rules for you, and

560
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: I get to play by a different set of rules.

561
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: And time and time again, you can see these politicians

562
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: who are out there who clearly right, clearly are not

563
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: playing by the same rules that they are mandating and

564
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: dictating on each and every one of us. And I

565
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: think that's one of the reason why, whether it's the truckers,

566
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: whether it's the parents, whether the kids that are walking

567
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: out on schools, I think you have an awakening that

568
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: is taking place in this country in a way that

569
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: people are now not going to just walk away or

570
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: back down or submit any longer because they've lost two

571
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: years of making memories with their families, two years of business,

572
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: two years of traveling, and really, to put it simply,

573
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: two years of freedom that has been taken away by

574
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: quote medical experts that have gotten it all wrong on

575
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: every single level, and none of them have apologized and

576
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: say they're sorry or try to correct their mistakes. They're

577
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: still wanting lockdowns, they're still wanting mass mandates. They're still

578
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: wanting to mandate that you get vaccine. They still want

579
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: to mandate that you have a vaccine passport. They want

580
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: to mandate truck drivers who are a threat to no one.

581
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: And let's just really talk about the science here and

582
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: what happened in Canada. These truck drivers are in their

583
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: cab ninety plus percent of the time, ninety eight percent

584
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: of the time locked in a and a cab by themselves.

585
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: They are not a threat. You have a wide open

586
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: southern border right now, which is a threat to this country.

587
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: And that's why these truck drivers where they did in Canada,

588
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: they're like, this is no and ninety percent, by the way,

589
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: the truck drivers are vaccine They're not. They're not even

590
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: anti vacs. They're they're in favor of freedom. And this

591
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: is this is not even about a vaccine that I I

592
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: would argue anymore. This is about freedom. And I think

593
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: that's why you guys are hearing this from some of

594
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: the truck drivers, is you're organizing. Yeah, they are. They're

595
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: they're basically your typical Americans. They are not any you know,

596
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: they don't they don't expect to be treated any differently.

597
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: They don't expect any privilege for what they do, no

598
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: matter how important their job is. And I think that's

599
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: what you know, people need to understand. You know, in

600
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: a country, you know, like the United States, where the

601
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: constitution makes everybody equal to the law, but over time,

602
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: I think some people feel like they're a little bit

603
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: more equal than others, and you know, we talk about

604
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: the elite, we talk about the you know, the people

605
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: that sort of in charge. And you know, when it

606
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: comes right down to it, the American people have an

607
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: unwritten contract, so to speak, with our government, and we

608
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: give them the authority to govern us, and we become

609
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: the governed. And there's a trust that's supposed to be there.

610
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: It's a social contract. And you know, you can see

611
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: that over time over the years, you know, since since

612
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: literally the mid seventies, but that trust has gone down significantly.

613
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: I think that the Pew Charitable Trust looked at at

614
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: this study and you know, they've got to kind of

615
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: juggle the numbers and fun get a little funky with

616
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: them so that people don't think that at the end

617
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: of the world. But you know, trust and government is

618
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: that it's probably its lowest rate ever in history. And

619
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, when that trust finally collapse, if it collapses,

620
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: then there is no social contract and then you know,

621
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: there's no reason for the government to be governed anymore.

622
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't want that. I'm not interested in anarchy.

623
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in feudalism. I'm not interested in you know,

624
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: going back in time and you know, the good old

625
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: days of the Western, you know, where the cowboys ruled

626
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: the planes and and and people you know, just sort

627
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: of did whatever they want to do. I like the

628
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: fact that we have governance in our country, but it

629
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: has to be a representative People have to have a voice,

630
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: and there has to be an understanding that everybody is

631
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 1: equal under the law, and no one no matter if

632
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: your white collar, blue collar, you know, no matter what's

633
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: your job, if you're the trash man or you're you know,

634
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: a brain surgeon, there's no difference. Everybody's got a place

635
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: in our life. Everybodys got a place in our government,

636
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: and everybody's got to play in the United States. But

637
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: everybody is equal under the law and the Constitution is

638
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: what we have to fall back to. Well, if you
