Summary
In this episode, I discuss the Iranian protests and the Canadian government's response to them. I talk about the similarities between the situation in Iran and what's going on in Canada and the trucker protest in Canada, and why they have a lot in common.

and began gunning them down for speaking out against the government.
00:00:05.020
You're so close. You're really, really close here.
00:00:07.640
So I don't think there's any convoy people who are saying what's happening in Iran
00:00:12.380
of police gunning a whole bunch of people down is the same as the trucker convoy.
00:00:18.620
However, there are commonalities there, and hopefully you can recognize them.
00:00:24.060
People are speaking out against the government for not wanting to wear something,
00:00:28.360
not wanting to take a medical procedure to keep their job.
00:00:32.860
And if you don't think that people have ended up killing themselves
00:00:36.040
or dying in some other way based on the lockdowns in Canada,
00:00:39.680
well, you know, that's your opinion. I disagree with it.
00:00:42.920
I think what the government, this regime, has put us through in Canada
00:00:46.440
has been horribly, horribly destructive in many ways.
00:00:49.620
But of course, I'm pretty sure every single trucker convoy person you would speak to
00:00:56.380
But ironically, convoy people probably have more in common
00:01:00.820
with the people protesting in Iran than they do people like you who oppose the convoy, right?
00:01:07.280
Because how did this regime in Iran come to be?
00:01:12.220
Well, it's because of assholes like you who support regimes on their rise.
00:01:18.100
And I would argue the Trudeau or the Canadian regime
00:01:21.440
was certainly flexing their authoritarian muscles to see what they could get away with.
00:01:28.060
It's going to happen where someone who's unmasked or unjabbed is going to get shot.

00:01:38.260
They did get shot at with, like, I don't know, some tear gas grenades from police,
00:01:43.100
beaten with batons, wrongfully arrested, wrongfully thrown in jail.
00:01:46.820
I personally was actually put on a rap sheet to not speak to Randy Hillier,
00:01:51.480
who had a whole bunch of fake trumped-up charges.
00:01:53.740
People are being thrown in jail for speaking up against the government.
00:01:57.540
So it's very easy to have sympathy for the corrupt regime in Iran
00:02:05.200
Oh, wait, no, you don't have any sympathy towards that.
00:02:10.900
I'm so tired of this argument of, well, it's worse over there.
00:02:19.360
It's a weird excuse to just not have sympathy for, like, what's going on in your backyard
00:02:24.620
and to dismiss what is clearly an authoritarian, you know, behavior that's growing within the Canadian government.
00:02:35.560
Because the Iranian regime didn't just pop up overnight.
00:02:38.960
Again, it's because of assholes like you who say,
00:02:48.540
Shut the fuck up and put your kneecap on, right?
