It was filmed way before the show started. There will be lots more media reps later.

Apparantly the bright minds that funded & started this 'convoy' are being sued by the truckers themselves...totally scammed.
Someone posted a good OP last night about the disaster truckers were facing en route.
Repost it if you can locate it.

than participants. Maybe the crowd isn't visible but you don't even hear anything besides the speaker and the wind. Again, it seems like the media is amplifying the message of a small minority.

Maybe a few supporters, too, but mostly media reps.
