what s causing truckers to act, brian, is the fact we are absolutely sick and tired of our oversized government. to stay in touch with everything that the truckers have going on, you can go to ridefortheconstitution.org. all weekend long we will have live feeds on this website straight from the protest itself. we are sick and tired of the government, the president, the entire federal government. yes, sir. brian: you re going to roll through the capital? are you stopping traffic? is the goal just to show your strength in numbers? roll through the capital? stay around awhile? what s the format? we are going to be in legal places, where the trucks are hraoefplt this is a peaceful where the trucks are legal. this is a peaceful demonstration. it s not just for d.c. we re looking to have an egyptian moment. we ve got the possibility instead of putting 30 million or 35 million people being a part of the
