more than a week, cars and trucks, mike, great to have you here. are you joining us from a truck? i am in my truck right now, thanks for having me. sandra: yeah. i wanted to talk to you, i had a brief chance to catch up with you this morning. you are not part of that big group of truckers, but you are a trucker yourself, and you are greatly affected by this mandate. explain. yes. my company is a cross-border company, 90% of our freight goes across the border, and for someone like me who is unvaccinated i ve lost two-thirds of the miles that i would usually do which is affecting me. mike, do you care to share with us why you chose to opt out of the vaccination?
basically, and now we ve been crossing the border for two years, keeping the goods moving, and now to come out with the mandate saying you need to be vaccinated to cross the border, that s, that hurts and we are making a stand that s going basically global now standing up against these mandates. enough is enough. let s move on. sandra: good to get your thoughts on that. you are somebody living in that moment where many of those truckers have decided to rise up and speak out about what is happening there. we appreciate you joining us from your truck, sir. no problem. john: good to talk to you, mike. thanks. sandra: thank you very much. it did stick with me, though, when you said, we don t do this in canada and this is a huge group of truck drivers who say they are standing up for themselves. and when i talked to him this

evidenced from the ranks from 462 as a male to number one as a female. jenner says the ncaa is at fault. what i blame here is the rules. the ncaa have rules on testosterone levels that obviously don t work. so obviously it s not working. and so they need to change their rules. the conflict over transgender athletes has become a national debate. yesterday south dakota s governor signed a bill into law that bans transgender athletes from competing on girls and women s sports team, k-12 through college. another group of u-penn swimmers released a statement saying they support thomas as their teammate and the letter is not representative of the entire team. sandra. sandra: thank you. john: wait til you hear this, instagram page reported by run by staffers on capitol hill
