reporter: things are pretty quiet. please moved in around 8:00 a.m. and finally sort of forcefully forced people to leave. they banged on the cars that were there, took people out of the cars, a few arrests. largely peaceful, the protesters have been peaceful, and you can hear the media is not popular here, it has that feel to it, that trumpian feel sort of a rally. we ve been dealing with that for sort of a week. as you can see, the bridge is still closed because there are a dozen or so protesters lingering around. it s a problem police will have as we move forward. there s a three-kilometer road behind me that runs from a major interstate to the bridge, and police are going to have to figure out a way, and the mayor was talking about this morning on a canadian broadcast, they ll have to figure out how to secure this road. it s been so easy for a small number of people to snarl north america s biggest crossing. on the ottawa, on top of that,
for them to do whatever they wanted and the conservative court agreed with them. this court is now really trumpy justices and to very conservative justices they will rubberstamp any kind of. conservative thing. so i think there s a kind of reason. also, desantis really thinks he s going to be the air parent to trump. and the way he s going to do that is by kneeling to these very anti gay, anti everything base. so i think part of that is what s going on to alonso, we learned this week that america, certainly nancy pelosi, has a police force, a secret police force called the gazpacho police. i have a serious question for you here, did the folks that seinfeld have grounds to sue marjorie taylor greene because
coup, there is no line. that s what it is. they re not bending the truth when they say, oh, it wasn t any of this bad stuff. they re just lying. they re plain lying because they can t all be dumb enough not to you know, they re not all marjorie taylor greene. they can t all be dumb enough not to understand what happened because they were there. they saw it. well, you know, willie, the thing is here you look at what s been going on with the republican party and you start to understand why mitch mcconnell came out and was as forceful as he was. here is a party again, we are joking about the gazpacho police, but also all of this just screeching and whining from republicans about, you know, comparing capitol hill cops to nazis because they re just checking on their office to make sure their office is okay. the rnc attacking other
more people and the announcement on indoor masking including in schools could come as soon as next week. starting tomorrow, rhode island will no longer require mask wearing indoors. and the state school mandate is also set to expire on march 4th. and illinois will also see its indoor mandate expire later this month. with exceptions for jails, hospitals and schools. and massachusetts is set to end its school mask mandate on february 28th. however, districts still have the option to require masks if they choose to do so. while discussing the capitol police in a recent interview, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene tried to compare them to the nazi guess gestapo but apparently had we have the dcgulag but now we have nancy pelosi s gazpacho police, spying on members of congress and spying on the work we do and spying on american citizens that want to come talk to their representatives.
