00:00:00.000 I went to Costco and I bought all of your toilet paper.
00:00:04.300 So you guys didn't have a chance.
00:00:06.140 I had all of it.
00:00:07.960 You know, lots of toilet paper.
00:00:11.240 And it was from a little girl named Alanis, who was eight,
00:00:16.280 and her brother Xavier, who was age four.
00:00:21.260 And it's so cute.
00:00:23.740 It says, thank you for fighting for everyone's freedom.
00:00:26.260 God will be by your side and God will protect you from the enemy.
00:00:30.000 With God, everything is possible.
00:00:32.500 Stay strong.
00:00:33.300 We are praying for you every step of the journey.
00:00:35.960 Love, Alanis and Xavier.
00:00:39.420 Dear truckers, thank you, truckers.
00:00:41.700 God bless you, truckers.
00:00:43.220 God bless Canada.
00:00:44.420 Canada strong and free.
00:00:46.160 I pray for you.
00:00:47.260 I love you.
00:00:48.040 We support you, truckers.
00:00:50.040 And this is from Joseph, who's age 10, and he drew a picture of Justin Trudeau.
00:00:54.300 Can you see that?
00:00:55.900 Justin Trudeau.
00:00:57.600 Oh, nice.
00:01:00.000 And then this is from their mother.
00:01:03.620 All you dear courageous truckers and support teams, may God bless you all a thousand times over.
00:01:10.160 You have made me proud of our country, proud to be a Canadian.
00:01:13.640 It is so heartening after years of feeling surrounded by people who have been tricked into surrendering their freedoms.
00:01:19.960 People who are indifferent or even angry when others exercise their freedom.
00:01:23.980 It is so heartening to hear about the unified, peaceful, joyful, loving way
00:01:28.640 that you all are standing up for the freedom of all Canadians.
00:01:32.480 I wish that my parents and nine siblings and I were there with you.
00:01:36.180 You are witnesses changing hearts, and that's the best, the only way to combat evil.
00:01:40.980 I know that God and Our Lady are standing at the head of the convoy with you,
00:01:44.900 and that they are blessing you for your sacrifice and courage.
00:01:48.200 God, make our land glorious and free.
00:01:50.680 Love and prayers for you all.
00:01:53.980 So I emailed your show and you emailed me back and you said he's on on Friday.
00:01:58.300 Oh, did I? Oh, good. I'm glad I was nice to you.
00:02:01.400 You were nice to me.
00:02:03.680 So, you know, after after the convoy, that was the, you know, the way that the convoy was taken down and all the uncertainty with like, OK, what's going to happen to us now?
00:02:14.120 Was when my wife and I were like, we need to get out of the Ottawa area.
00:02:17.820 and so we started right away you know getting our house ready to put on the market took some time
00:02:24.360 because we're also kind of you know we're doing some research on different things we had learned
00:02:29.840 during the convoy trying to figure out what was real what wasn't and then also um kind of i would
00:02:37.600 say battling like a like a form of depression for like a good like three months until finally i kind
00:02:42.540 of just like snap myself away and was like okay you have made zero progress on getting your family
00:02:49.920 where they need to be it's time to get moving and so that was when we really started to um
00:02:55.740 you know work on getting the house ready for the market and making those arrangements what was the
00:03:01.140 depression about danny well i think the you know the feeling of betrayal you know you you know people
00:03:10.140 for the better part of a decade you feel like they're your brotherhood and then all of a sudden
00:03:18.460 it's like it's seemingly almost overnight you're you're one of the team to you're the enemy and
00:03:27.380 you know i i saw police do things during covid and during the convoy that i never ever imagined
00:03:36.120 i would see in canada and part of it like i'll admit i was i was worried i was worried they were
00:03:42.600 gonna come for us given that you're here with chris and tamara and danny and tom and that was
00:03:49.160 such a big moment can you maybe just explain what that was like for you and maybe interact with them
00:03:56.760 a little bit about what collectively that was like to be part of this historic but awful moment and
00:04:03.160 And, of course, the irony of you being the signatory to this document.
00:04:09.500 Yeah, well, it was quite unusual and startling,
00:04:15.220 although being there at the time and talking to Keith Wilson
00:04:20.240 and some of the other people who were with us at the time,
00:04:23.580 there was something that came to us through other means
00:04:29.620 indicating that it was likely that the federal government was going to invoke the Emergencies Act.
00:04:35.500 And we were completely shocked at the time.
00:04:38.380 But knowing the various things that had happened up to then,
00:04:42.980 our shock suddenly turned to, well, what do you expect?
00:04:47.820 And the first thing that came to my mind was,
00:04:50.420 in introducing, in invoking the Emergencies Act,
00:04:54.160 they were also subject to the Charter.
00:04:56.320 And the Charter of Section 1 says you must demonstrably justify that what you're doing is constitutional, follows the Charter.
00:05:08.520 And, of course, they did not do that.
00:05:10.400 They just went ahead and invoked it without demonstrating that they had justified doing this under the Charter.
00:05:17.720 That's part of the introduction to the Emergency Act.
00:05:22.100 but i wonder also if it isn't a little bit of learned helplessness right i mean
00:05:28.360 people were so happy about the convoy and then we got sort of three weeks of happiness
00:05:36.400 and then it was crushed right and and i think that has left a residue across the country i i think
00:05:45.000 people say well if we can't protest peacefully like they did what great examples they were of
00:05:51.460 how to actually do it i mean it was like it was like gandhi right they were so peaceful um and
00:05:58.480 yet you can't we can't even have that so what what do we have like that i think that's why people
00:06:04.400 now who were really heavily invested in that emotionally and sociologically are so depressed
00:06:11.280 right now brian because what what do we do now how do we what what levers are available to us
00:06:18.100 if not protest or the courts right so understand except for the creation of the country in 1867
00:06:28.080 the charter of rights and freedoms is by far the most important document in the history of our
00:06:33.240 country since we were a country it is the most important one because it applies to you and me
00:06:38.960 equally yeah we're not the big dangerous criminals are we that's everybody in the media has made us
00:06:44.500 out to be so well that depends on who you follow on twitter my friend um i think we were about two
00:06:51.760 thirds of the way there and i was talking to my wife my wife is at home watching every clip she
00:06:55.380 could get her hands on at that point and she's uh she's a lot smarter than me which begs the
00:07:00.880 question why we're together but we uh she said this is going to become um it's going to be a
00:07:09.300 just a war of what can get out there like a um i'm missing the word but uh pr war basically
00:07:17.540 yeah like as almost like a spin war like it's gonna it's gonna become a media thing
00:07:24.000 and it's gonna be a battle to see who can spin this their way and just bang on right
00:07:29.520 yeah well as a lot of people that's one of the most things i hear all the time is
00:07:35.360 was people the ones that watch the media versus the ones that watch the live stream were a
00:07:39.920 completely totally different thing yeah and i've thought so much about this you know we we really
00:07:46.440 didn't have a chance i mean with some minds in ottawa because as we've discussed numerous times
00:07:52.780 and i've talked about numerous times i mean we have the text messages between the prime minister's
00:07:57.020 office and the minister of public safety's office and uh the globe i think it was global news um
00:08:03.640 You know, all setting this narrative that the local politicians and law enforcement bureaucracy in Ottawa just sort of ran with.
00:08:11.380 And, of course, their media also.
00:08:13.800 So, I mean, I do believe that there was people in Ottawa that felt afraid or felt intimidated or didn't want to leave their house.
00:08:21.020 But, I mean, that was put in their heads before we even got there.
00:08:24.760 100%.
00:08:25.480 And I'll be one of the first to espouse the ails of social media.
00:08:31.440 them correct yeah correct like that i remember running across you in a hotel lobby for some of
00:08:40.000 those block leader meetings but yes didn't actually shake your hand i don't believe and then
00:08:46.000 you must have had a weird first impression because we did a a premiere in calgary but there was also
00:08:51.840 what was that event that had christina anderson at it oh yeah a number of people there that same
00:08:59.120 weekend so I run into you there I meet you there and I decided to meet you
00:09:04.280 because I know we're in the same documentary we're gonna spend you know
00:09:07.040 what like I felt like I knew you already my first thing I did I start taking off
00:09:12.800 my shirt I'm like Tamara come look at this come check this but what am I gonna
00:09:16.820 see i think she must have thought that i was just trying to show you my tattoo that's right oh my
00:09:22.900 gosh she's probably like what that yeah yeah that's hilarious um gord you said that you have talked
00:09:31.060 with tony uh recently um can you give us an update on how he's doing what does he need sure um thank
00:09:39.140 you i i think in in the couple of years i've been talking with tony from prison now i think there
00:09:46.580 There was only ever one time where he sounded down, right?
00:09:50.720 I would compare Tony to the Paul Newman character in Cool Hand Luke.
00:09:58.160 You guys have seen that movie?
00:09:59.860 It's a sort of classic movie about this guy.
00:10:02.480 He gets busted.
00:10:03.160 He's drunk, and he smashes a pay meter, parking meter, goes to jail,
00:10:08.820 and the guards are picking on him, the prison warden's picking on him,
00:10:12.580 but he always just has a smile on his face, and he escapes.
00:10:15.740 he goes back you know but he just he doesn't let them ever get get him down and tony is very much
00:10:22.700 in this same you know positive you know not letting this situation get him down um he's
00:10:29.340 been a model prisoner all the reviews of his incarceration like they just why are you even
00:10:35.180 here you know when he got to drum heller he was given a job unloading freight for the prison which
00:10:39.820 is pretty highly sensitive because if you want to like put contraband or illegal substances that's
00:10:45.020 where it comes through but every time they talk to tony and assess him they're like this guy is
00:10:50.140 he's just he's a workaholic and he's got no issues no problems and you know he's always
00:10:56.060 got jobs at prison he administers his faith to other people he tries to like help guys out who've 0.98
00:11:02.140 had you know a rough time did stupid crap which led them to being in prison and so tony has just
00:11:07.900 been like of a very positive vibe very useful to his fellow prisoners like he's just an awesome 0.98
00:11:14.380 dude he was a workaholic um you know how he got involved and he wanted to stand up for his
00:11:20.540 fellow citizens that's why he went to coots um again this entire trial is a little it's a bit
00:11:26.860 of a sham and you know we can get into the details why all this is happening but um tony's good and
00:11:33.820 he i told him i was coming on here to talk with you guys and he did want to say that like he's
00:11:40.260 very thankful for all the support he's thankful for the letters um he really misses everybody
00:11:45.620 outside he pays a lot of attention to the news because like you know they do get tv in there
00:11:51.700 and you know they him and the other inmates talk about politics and current events all the time so
00:11:56.340 like you know he's keeping his mind active he knows a lot about what's going on outside yeah
00:12:02.580 i can add that i have talked recently to chris carbert and uh you know he's got a job uh and he's
00:12:09.620 you know he's got a girlfriend don't think that's he's had to be a secret and he also is really
00:12:14.660 grateful for tons of support that he's got in the lethbridge area and and of course beyond and so
00:12:21.340 and so he's uh you know i think i think that kind of support is been is a real a real rock for
00:12:28.400 for him and and he's grateful and uh as as gord mentioned like they they had their their appeal
00:12:35.460 was heard on september 11th and uh and they're just waiting to uh to see see what what happens
00:12:43.700 when when the decision is made regarding what what the the justice system or the judge makes of
00:12:50.180 of the appeal in the in the time ahead but you know let's go back to the poec for a minute i
00:12:55.540 was there you were there chris uh we were all there when brendan got ejected uh for challenging
00:13:01.300 rouleau and the the thing is i'll tell you about brendan the one thing i know for a fact that is
00:13:07.140 vitally important to brendan miller is being right yes having the facts and making sure you can back
00:13:14.000 it up and uh you know rouleau pushed him to the point where he he called rouleau out several times
00:13:21.420 in the courtroom and uh you know what finally rouleau he didn't have the facts on his side
00:13:27.860 he had his emotions like a good little liberal that he is and he kicked brendan out of the
00:13:32.420 commission i mean brendan was back by the the late afternoon but you know what um when it comes to
00:13:39.560 brendan miller and a lot of lawyers are tenacious but brendan has a particular brand of uh courage
00:13:45.760 and tenaciousness that uh is kind of rare with the in in the legal profession i think you know
00:13:52.240 during the convoy itself i remember when the government was talking about going after parents
00:13:58.320 who brought their children to the convoy because their children were in the truck with them
00:14:02.480 yeah you know in in these are kids that had very much the same life experience that your kids had
00:14:07.680 growing up in the trucks you know this is this is what these families do and it shows you how
00:14:12.400 disconnected from reality uh you know these government organizations are where you know
00:14:19.120 they were threatening to uh remove the children from the parents the custody of the parents because
00:14:27.360 they felt that they shouldn't be at the convoy they shouldn't have been in the trucks they
00:14:30.960 should have been in school because hey the government knows more about parenting than you
00:14:34.880 do clearly but they were talking about euthanizing all of the uh the dogs all the pets that were in
00:14:40.800 the trucks like these were the threats that we were constantly dealing with from uh you know the
00:14:46.960 the police and by law and all this crap like they they started targeting children and talking to us
00:14:55.520 actively about euthanizing the pets that were in the vehicles with truckers this is this is canada
00:15:01.440 right this is uh you know so your story about your kids growing up in that is a common story within
00:15:08.640 the industry and you know i do think you should write the book and talk about that and tell that
00:15:14.240 because you know like you're you're one family amongst thousands across this country that do it
00:15:21.360 and i just saw in the comments about the ostriches like oh there's there's no lengths there's no
00:15:26.880 lengths to terrorizing the public and demoralizing the public that this government various levels of
00:15:32.800 government go to i think uh out of what 187 people arrested in freedom convoy gcc helped a majority
00:15:40.480 of people through that and so did the democracy fund so james right now who is obviously seeking
00:15:45.920 political asylum in the u.s for lawfare the canadian government's coming after him the same
00:15:50.320 way that they came after tamara myself pat others um james decided to go a different road on that
00:15:56.480 democracy fund is helping him right now with that legal plight um i talked to james for about two
00:16:01.760 hours this week and had a good conversation with him the amount of stuff that poor guy's facing
00:16:06.480 right now you know if the if the asylum doesn't go through he faces a lot of time in jail and
00:16:13.440 judging by what we have just been through the court system he didn't have that help at that
00:16:18.740 time so he would uh definitely been buried in law fair and he took the the best option out as far as
00:16:24.520 i can see i support james 100 and what he's doing right now um so many people in this movement have
00:16:30.300 been so easy to quick and turn on people and try and condemn them getting so much more attention
00:16:34.900 than the next person you got to remember that we were all standing in this one at one time and if
00:16:39.720 you choose to go negative on this and try and attack other people because of the way they stand
00:16:43.500 you are not helping the situation so um i go back to this too right and i think you do tom
00:16:49.900 if uh if if uh the more people talk in this movement and the more um divisive and angry
00:16:55.820 and bitter they get at certain people um that is the exact reasons why some of us distances
00:17:00.980 ourselves from other people. Tamera, you probably have queued up a couple of examples of the level
00:17:06.280 of incompetence between the politicians and themselves. And I do want to remind everybody,
00:17:11.960 Tamera, you touched on this two weeks ago, that as early as the 27th of January, we learned this
00:17:18.420 at the POEC, early as the 27th of January, the PMO's office was saying, don't put too much
00:17:24.720 pressure on this convoy because we don't want to push out the crazies. I don't know who they're
00:17:29.380 talking about but they were just like there's people there was actually i'm gonna it was
00:17:34.100 actually um july the 24th it was before i even shook chris barber's hand uh july initial text
00:17:44.380 sorry january 24th so it was january 24th and that's that was when chris came to pick me up 0.60
00:17:52.520 and the same day there was this text message exchange between mary liz powers who was the
00:17:57.000 issues advisor to Justin Trudeau, and Alexander Cohen, the director of communications for
00:18:03.260 Medellino's public safety office. And in that, in that text exchange, you can clearly see,
00:18:12.800 I don't know if you can see that, this text exchange, basically where they're talking about,
00:18:18.900 okay, got quick responses, people are into it. So this is Mary Liz Powers texting Alex. So the PMO
00:18:25.820 texting the public safety officer let me know if your boss is is too happy to help however i can
00:18:32.940 just had a chat with alex at public safety who had a bit of an interesting idea as you saw in the
00:18:38.860 in the what does that say it's pretty small in the good chat the truckers convoy and some of
00:18:44.300 their more extreme comments i.e calling for a january 6th style insurrection nobody that i know
00:18:50.380 of in the convoy called for a january 6th style insurrection the government wanted that though
00:18:55.020 yes they did yep are getting more coverage in media alex was serving whether there'd be interest
00:19:01.740 in his boss doing some media on this eventually he was chatting with mendicino about it right
00:19:06.460 before he went into cabinet retreat i think there could be an opportunity to get in on this
00:19:12.780 growing narrative of the truckers particularly with the research that lrb is doing into their
00:19:18.380 backers into our backers canadians or canadian uh middle class donors uh my thoughts of the
00:19:28.060 framing here would be similar to what the pm and blair said last year when january 6th occurred
00:19:33.500 our democracy is something we need to nurture and protect every day
00:19:40.060 so keep in mind this is the narrative that they're that they're creating so then this is some of the
00:19:44.220 points that they were making like that they were going to talk about we will always support the
00:19:47.660 right to peaceful protest some of the calls that organizers of these events are making are
00:19:53.100 concerning and we're taking them seriously so these are all the talking points that they're
00:19:56.540 coming up with we'll continue to monitor the situation closely the fine line to walk would
00:20:01.660 be to ensure that we are not looking like we're directing the police which obviously is not the
00:20:06.540 goal here hoping to hand us your thoughts alex said he'd come back to me with a proposal this
00:20:13.500 afternoon when he gets to chat with mendicino and then he says thanks i had an initial chat
00:20:20.100 with my boss marco and he's supportive but wants to wait a day or two there's a danger that if we
00:20:25.780 come down too hard they might push out the crazies and she says that's fair global and others are
00:20:33.320 working on stories maybe we see how those land but you know you heard these stories from some
00:20:41.580 of these people and then you you know you probably read the blog a night with the untouchables that
00:20:47.500 david mayberry wrote and david mayberry lived in an apartment on ken street directly over top
00:20:53.180 of the protest directly over top of it and um eva and i went and had dinner with him and and his
00:21:00.740 lovely lovely wife when we were in ottawa for the poec and so and then he wrote an article about it
00:21:06.940 and he was watching what the news was saying and he's looking down on us literally looking out his
00:21:12.260 window down on on on the convoy and so he's listening to the news and seeing what's happening
00:21:17.860 down there so he decided to go out and talk to people and he said um it's a beautiful beautiful
00:21:23.220 piece it's called a night with the untouchables by david mayberry i wish i had a link for it but
00:21:28.740 it is you know he just went out to talk to people and to find out why they were there what they
00:21:34.340 wanted and and i think even that one evening i think changed changed him i i remember meeting
00:21:42.880 them uh in the apartment uh yeah i'm gonna put that obviously to marry you and i were not allowed
00:21:49.220 to be uh left alone in a room together um but yeah i remember meeting them and it was a big
00:21:56.240 surprise to him how viral his his article went um but it was really really well done i do remember
00:22:02.900 reading it a long time after um so yeah that was that was really good that was good it was good to
00:22:09.140 meet him of course i have the forfeiture hearing on big red on friday uh december 19th and in that
00:22:16.340 we will find out the fate of everything so the judge will rule whether she throws it out or
00:22:20.900 grants the forfeiture and um yeah nine days i still shoot i told somebody the 21st for some
00:22:29.220 reason yesterday i was thinking it was the 21st but december 19th yeah okay there's a lot on yeah
00:22:36.980 i don't know i wonder what yeah there's that's a lot i mean honestly i think she has to throw it
00:22:42.740 out i can't i mean that's not going to stop the crown obviously but i think she pretty much has
00:22:47.380 to throw it out this is just unprecedented it's political persecution you know and then i think
00:22:53.300 people need to wake up the people that aren't seeing that right now is to see the vindictiveness
00:22:57.300 and viciousness of the crown right now when it comes to how hard they i was i'm singing i did a
00:23:02.240 little thing on my tiktok last week and i just said tales from the trial and you know seven people
00:23:07.100 testified against tamara and i at the course of her trial and none of those seven people had any
00:23:11.400 personal interactions with tamara or myself during the convoy but did they sure make some outlandish
00:23:17.640 statements and then i was going to do another one and we should talk about it now it was september
00:23:22.300 5th of 2023 we started our trial in ottawa it was supposed to be a 16-day trial how many days did it
00:23:29.020 end up being do you remember was it 55 i think it was 50 yeah i i was just i did an interview with
00:23:34.860 the guys from blender news this morning and we were actually just talking about this exact same thing
00:23:39.260 um yeah it was supposed to be 16 days since and end in the middle of october and it actually
00:23:43.900 stretched out over two years and i think it was like yeah 50 50 days um or it was just a little
00:23:50.300 bit more than i think my jail time so and i mean the the crazy thing is is that paul bernardo's
00:24:00.300 trial i try to bring this up because paul bernardo's bernardo's whole trial was over in four
00:24:05.980 months four months so you know this this is a man that was convicted of doing some really terrible
00:24:11.260 things and you know it's just unbelievable that it took that long for a mischief that doesn't
00:24:16.060 happen in Canada it's never happened before in Canada well I didn't have a
00:24:23.620 mischief trial he paid a 250 dollar fine and and probably had probation or
00:24:28.660 something and become a member of Parliament with a pension for crime and
00:24:32.020 that's that's the thing I mean going back to circling back to our
00:24:35.380 conversation about you know people turning against us I mean I don't know
00:24:39.700 if they think that we live this glorious life of luxury or you know like I don't
00:24:45.840 get we're looking at the next 10 years of our life in a courtroom in some fashion
00:24:49.760 between the civil suit this and plus our own suits right so i mean there's nothing absolutely
00:24:56.660 nothing glorious about it i i just don't get i just don't get it well i heard somebody speaking
00:25:02.580 the other day that uh that we've allegedly we have handlers that monitor yes we have handlers
00:25:09.760 that watch this and we've been instructed by our handlers not to have a conversation with other
00:25:16.640 people we have handlers i'll tell you who my handler is he's 11 pounds and his name is zippy
00:25:23.300 sitting at the top of the top of the stairs up here staring at me wondering when his next meal
00:25:26.960 is going to be that's my handle yeah no doubt there's no handle opposition and i've just about
00:25:37.460 think i've heard at all oh my gosh what did i just get accused of the other day from that guy
00:25:43.360 david uh oh i was a biden i was a biden cia um operative when i'm like yes david you found me
00:25:52.000 out um i was i am a c biden era cia operative of course and she also russian asset elon musk's
00:26:01.840 bestie i put because apparently he fixes the algorithm for me so that my posts get a lot of
00:26:06.980 reach we're tight um cpc shill um liberal plant you know like you name it now you're just being
00:26:17.600 a chad now come on yeah that's right oh george soros funded i'm funded by george soros i mean
00:26:27.620 i don't understand you know where people come up with this stuff and we've talked about this before
00:26:32.940 like why everything is not a conspiracy theory there's definitely a lot of things but i mean
00:26:38.720 every single thing is like not a conspiracy theory we're just like regular boring people
00:26:44.620 in my opinion doesn't it kind of hit you it hits me every now and then where i'm just kind of
00:26:49.380 driving i woke up this morning i thought why are we living through this right now
00:26:53.100 The government wants to take my truck because it floors me that we're at a spot right now.
00:27:02.280 I got a message from somebody the other day, and he said, how do you keep your composure?
00:27:06.160 Why are you not angry and bitter?
00:27:08.840 Well, you know, honestly, I thought about it, and I'm like, there's too many people watching right now.
00:27:12.340 For me to show anger and bitter would be a show of, I don't want to, weakness maybe?
00:27:17.740 And I'm not weak in any sense.
00:27:20.020 i'm i will stand my ground right to the end and this this truck is something that i will fight
00:27:25.620 literally to the death for it's it's not attached to me as a is a thing so it has no you know it
00:27:33.740 has the resemblance the resemblance to freedom convoi of course that it has for so many people
00:27:37.780 but for me it's been my life for 22 years this truck and i still run it i still i talk to it
00:27:44.360 isn't it ironic that 22 years ago today november 26 2003 i picked this truck up
00:27:50.200 from custom truck sales in regina brand new i uh would like to take everybody for a little
00:27:55.880 tour on my 2004 w900 kenworth the iconic big red the seats are a little wore out
00:28:04.440 it is my uh it's been my home for the better part of of 22 years i'd like to show you the
00:28:10.520 collar of the dog buddy that i had i had put down in this passenger seat and i believe it was 2014
00:28:15.880 the dog traveled with me for the better part of 17 years this truck has been my life and my family's
00:28:24.200 life for as long as they can remember we actually have the bunk bed in the back right now down
00:28:29.480 because my daughter's been helping me and piloting with me so in the evenings we stay where hotel
00:28:33.400 costs by her just sleeping up here and i sleep down on the bottom the kids were literally babies
00:28:39.000 when this truck was new my son was seven months old he was the first one in the passenger seat
00:28:43.480 and they were raised in this truck and around this truck they are the ones who named it the
00:28:49.400 big red truck and then that name stuck from there and iconically that it is now it's a piece of
00:28:57.640 history and the crown wants to destroy that because of that ask yourself in history what
00:29:05.480 government in the past has done that same thing yeah i think it was china under communist dictatorship
00:29:15.400 and that's one of the things that i i probably bettered about myself and and during convoy my
00:29:19.880 old social media personality my audience was truckers and that was basically what it was
00:29:24.040 and then during convoy i was able to look back and think that there was probably a better way
00:29:28.360 to reuse some words and and limit your language and and grow a little bit so that's why i say i
00:29:34.760 I think I probably grew the most out of anyone during convoy, which is, it's a benefit.
00:29:40.280 I don't know.
00:29:41.140 I had an insight the other day that it wasn't a protest.
00:29:43.880 It was a rescue, right?
