Peter and Neil also talked about the end of the truckers protest in Ottawa, and what its legacy will be.


The second guest is Ohio Republican Senate hopeful Mike Gibbons. Gibbons is an investment banker and served as the Ohio finance chairman for President Donald J. Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns. Gibbons talked about why he is running and how the campaign is going as he comes up on the May 3 primary.


The third guest is Sonny Joy Nelson, the media director for GETTR, the social media platform. Nelson said why she enjoys working for GETTR and how it has succeeded as a safe harbor for conservative. She also talked about some of the features on GETTR that make it a robust platform--as well as some new features in development.


The last guest is the father of Brexit, Nigel Farage. Farage talked about how he saw the crisis in Ukraine and the marks he gives British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
