President Trump Stands Up for Canadian Truckers

PRESIDENT TRUMP: The Canadian truckers — you’ve been reading about it —

CROWD: (cheers)

PRESIDENT TRUMP: — who are resisting bravely these lawless mandates are doing more to defend American freedom than our own leaders by far, and we want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way.

CROWD: (cheers)

PRESIDENT TRUMP: They are. They’re really showing something.

CLAY: That was Donald Trump down at a massive rely in Texas over the weekend. Gonna play the exact opposite of that statement. It’s interesting when you have 45 himself endorsing the Canadian truckers, and you have Justin Trudeau going off on them.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

CLAY: All right, so Justin Trudeau has got covid. I don’t think he’s come out yet. We gotta wait for this. I don’t think he’s officially said, “I’ve got covid, but thanks to the fact that I was double vaccinated and also quadruple boosted it wasn’t very much of an issue.” By the way, I think I’m around the same age as Justin Trudeau. I have not, however, ever dressed up in blackface for Halloween, which he has done multiple times, which probably means that I would be a better leader for Canada than he has been among many other reasons.

But! But! I also have had covid twice and did not get vaccinated and had no issues. So when he says the reason why he had no issues with covid, given that he’s relatively young and healthy, it’s because he’s relatively young and healthy. But, Buck, he just came out. You heard Trump endorsing all the Canadian truckers, and we love everybody out there all over the country and all over Canada who is listening. I bet a lot of those truckers are Clay and Buck listeners. Buck, this is what Justin Trudeau had to say about them just about an hour ago.

TRUDEAU: I have attended protests and rallies in the past, uhhh, when I agreed with the goals, when I supported the people, uhhh, expressing their concerns and their issues. Black Lives Matter is an excellent example of that. But I have also chosen to not go anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric, violence towards fellow citizens, uhh, and a disrespect, uh, not just of science, but of, uhh, the front-line health workers and, quite frankly (snickers), the 90% of truckers who have been doing the right thing to keep Canadians safe, to put food on our tables.

BUCK: He’s just a liar!

TRUDEAU: Canadians know where I stand.

CLAY: Total liar.

BUCK: Can we just break apart some of the things he says here? And I’m sorry for our male audience that the estrogen levels are rising now for all of our male listeners for just having Justin Trudeau’s voice. This guy is the ultimate beta-male wimp, really, it’s just amazing, a man of the left who you look at this guy, you say, what is his problem? Why is he…? First of all, the fact that Canada elected this guy prime minister.

I love so many Canadians. It’s such a great place, so many great people. But, you know, eh, then again; we elected Joe Biden. So who are this country, how we gonna cast aspersions on anybody else? But I just feel like Canada deserves better than Justin Trudeau. But let’s just start for a second here with what he says about the violence, Clay — and remember, Justin Trudeau was a big BLM guy.

CLAY: He specifically cited the protests that he went to, and then evidently didn’t acknowledge that all of the BLM violence and protests associated with those? I mean, what violence and protests…? What danger am I missing from the Canadian trucker protest?

BUCK: Zero, and this is what’s so interesting. They’re already acting as though the prospect of some kind of violence from these truckers is enough to demean and undermine them, which you could do to anybody, right? You could say anything is possible.

CLAY: Any large protest has people who are going to misbehave in it.

BUCK: Yeah, any protest — and what’s fascinating is that, no, actually nothing like that has happened. It has been an entirely — not a mostly, the truckers have been an entirely — 100% peaceful protest so far. You would think that the left, whether in America or Canada, would support workers. But of course, all of a sudden political expediency throws that out the window. And his whole point that 90% of truckers have done the responsible thing?

Yeah, this is the old, “Give me your arm for the shot or I’m taking your job” routine. That’s not a question. That’s not something that should be a surprise to anybody. When you threaten force, you will often get your way. Compliance doesn’t indicate agreement in this case. Compliance is the result of their threats! That’s why 90% of truckers got it but 10% didn’t — and as everyone’s seeing, when truckers decide that there’s a problem, they can create huge problems for the economy whether in Canada or in the U.S.

CLAY: Yeah, and I empathize a great deal with the fact that, I guarantee you, a lot of those truckers who are protesting may well have acceded to the vaccine mandate because they have to make a living. They have to take care of their kids. They have to take care of their families. That is what I find to be so incredibly insulting about the argument. As you said, compulsion does not educate agreement. In fact, it oftentimes educates the exact opposite, and it infuriates me that they are citing the number of people who are being forced to get the vaccine in order to keep their jobs and put food on the table.

BUCK: And let’s remember the initial pitch from Biden himself and from Fauci. You go back to January of 2020 when the belief that the vaccines that they were going to roll out were covid enders, right? They believed — and they told us this — that, oh, my gosh. You get the shot; you’re done. Masks come off! It’s all over. As we found out, that’s not even vaguely, remotely the case. Right now, we’re on shot number three, maybe shot number four, and shots forever and the whole thing.

But, Clay, they were saying, “No, we don’t want to do mandates.” What changed? What changed is they didn’t get their way with everything. Biden said, “Oh, I don’t want to do mandates. We’re gonna convince people. We’re gonna tell them. We’re gonna…” No, because they’re authoritarians, because this is the mind-set of the progressive left, they have to control everybody, they’re neurotics that think that if government has absolute power over everyone and is doing what they want government to do, then we’ll be in a perfect safe and wonderful society. It’s exactly the opposite if you look at history.

But here we are now with Justin Trudeau trying to just openly smear these individuals — thousands and thousands of truckers — and it’s just a reminder, folks. They’re playing dirty all the time. These are dishonest people. Justin Trudeau is a dishonest liar. He’s gross, and so many Democrats in this country also constantly smear anyone who’s opposed to mandates. Just even the term “antivax,” that now means anti-mandate. They’ve changed the definition, Clay, officially so that they can smear everybody who’s opposed to mandates!

CLAY: And this is an important point as well. Biden went all in on the idea that if everybody was vaccinated covid would go away. Now, this was all of Biden went all in. Remember when Biden first took over in January of 2021, he said, “If people will just wear masks for a hundred days, covid would go away. ” That was one of his first pitches before covid vaccine was widely distributed. Then it turned into, “We have a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

Well, both of those things are untrue, and you can look at the rates of covid vaccination in the NHL, the NBA, and the NFL, and see that covid didn’t go anywhere. In fact, new highs were set this year where we know we’ve got rapid testing and all-day testing of athletes. Way more people got covid this year post-vaccination than ever got covid when there was no vaccine at all. It’s crazy.
