0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. I'm really proud that my guest today is Brian Prazi, who is one of the truckers, |
0:06.3 | who is one of the key leaders of the People's Convoy, which is now in Washington, DC, and the |
0:12.0 | surrounding the belt by Ryan has been a long haul trucker for five years. He's from Pennsylvania, |
0:20.0 | currently residing at Northwest Ohio. He is a second generation trucker and an owner |
0:27.3 | operator of a small mom and pop company. Brian, welcome to the show. |
0:33.3 | Thanks, thanks for having me. Let's start by just talking about how you got involved in this. |
0:41.1 | Yeah, I opened up my mouth on a Facebook live video. Basically, I had seen people wanting to |
