Based Camp - Iran Doesn't Have a Future： The Most ＊＊＊＊ Country on Earth？

00:00:00.000 hello simone i'm excited to be here with you today today we are going to be discussing just

00:00:04.500 how effed iran is along so many metrics okay so we have done other episodes where we've talked

00:00:12.060 about the rapid secularization that's been happening in iran and their fertility crisis

00:00:16.240 because they have a fertility rate way low the united below the united states despite being

00:00:21.060 a theocracy and a lot poorer than us so it usually means higher fertility rates yeah and and so 0.90

00:00:28.220 obviously they've got all the demographic stuff but we're going to be talking about stuff that

00:00:31.740 might be even more important to have than people like water air air air so an estimated 30 000 deaths

00:00:45.840 nationwide every year in iran from air pollution they have some of the worst air pollution in the

00:00:51.340 world we'll be going over this but their capital city tyran you know how in some cities you go to

00:00:55.840 like mexico city is sort of this way where because they're surrounded by mountains they they they

00:01:00.860 keep in all of the pollution they call it like it they have a word for it like some kind of inverted

00:01:05.780 vortex of death yes so tyran is uniquely one of these areas tyran it's also uniquely bad at dealing with

00:01:14.900 it and also the the floor like the streets like randomly collapse and you can like have sinkholes or

00:01:23.320 what giant sinkholes where you can have like entire buildings or blocks disappear and i remember

00:01:30.320 because i was like freaked out when i saw this because sinkholes are like one of my greatest

00:01:33.460 fears they really are idea that you could just be driving and then falling to your death or sleeping and

00:01:40.560 then your house is gone and all your kids are gone typical is that it's just strange one day someone's

00:01:46.140 walking around going to work alive and then nothing people just disappear the earth just opens up and

00:01:57.200 swallows them eerie so i ask i'm like okay google like how how frequently do these thinkholes happen

00:02:08.600 and it goes oh well in toran you get a few of them a week and i was like a few a week city yes in their capital

00:02:18.640 city it was like parts of the road disappearing and stuff so what kind of like do they have underground

00:02:26.600 river like cenotes like in mexico they had an underground river until they drained it oh

00:02:31.600 oh okay and you know i'm talking about oh hold on hold on there's so many more problems that they

00:02:40.840 have i'm sorry wait no no no it's over if this is sinkhole city it's already over they've lost

00:02:48.580 their entire geopolitical footing we're going to talk about that as well like iran's situation

00:02:55.140 may be worse than china's right like like and this is coming for a lot and we're also going to talk 1.00

00:03:00.820 about how they censor information on the internet how they censor information on phones what information

00:03:06.280 they target what society they're trying to build and why like sand slipping through fingers they have

00:03:13.140 nothing and will be nothing it is a very sad place but we'll also talk about a few wins they've had

00:03:19.060 recently yeah their drone system specifically has been pretty popular okay uh which is like

00:03:25.000 a technical thing that is going to be important in future wars are they selling their drones to

00:03:30.400 russia or something yeah yeah okay the shahid drone which we'll go into we'll go into the shahid

00:03:35.320 drone good for them all right i feel like now i just don't want them to have something

00:03:39.700 so let's just run some projections on their current water rates for example by the way if if current

00:03:48.200 practices persist only 20 to 30 percent of the current crop production will remain viable by 2045

00:03:54.960 oh my gosh so they're going to need mostly imports yeah yeah not not awesome they also for water

00:04:02.980 another fun one here is the term zero day came up for their capital city recently now they were able

00:04:10.660 to get around it but as of october terran avoided a full day zero through emergency cuts 20 reduction in

00:04:17.200 urban use and rationing but the risk persists into 2026 if winter rains fail residents already face

00:04:24.220 12 to 24 hour cutoffs in the suburbs with tanker trucks supplying to poorer areas yeah this just

00:04:30.140 sounds like lima peru remember when they just be like yeah we're shutting off the water today

00:04:34.180 no electricity today yeah no yeah whatever so so lima is also going to run out of water in the next 20

00:04:40.220 years yeah so that's honestly like a youtube video i saw where someone just walked around like terran and

00:04:44.700 like met a lot of people you know one of those like i spent 24 hours it looked so much like lima to me

00:04:50.000 even the air pollution oh yeah oh and lima has horrible air pollution yeah even though it's right

00:04:55.380 by the ocean you you have it's it's like you know it's bad when your boogers are black oh god yeah i i 0.96

00:05:01.740 saw in i was watching videos about iranian doctors and they were talking about how bad the situation is

00:05:07.760 and they're like i can get a kid in in my clinic and i can be like here's what's what's hurting this

00:05:15.740 kid you know and he's going to have long-term ramifications or die if this is not resolved

00:05:22.720 okay and i can do my best to address it and then i open the door and the thing that was killing him

00:05:29.120 just comes wafting back in because his family can't leave the city they can't go somewhere else

00:05:33.660 they can't go take the waters in bath iran is they promised that they were going to give houses for

00:05:38.160 everyone don't have windows just dark rectangles where glass should be monuments marking and

00:05:42.740 unfinished ghost city parties are only alone though head 70 kilometers out west and you'll find

00:05:48.160 hashed gurd built for half a million people home to 50 000 reverse course and head northeast 0.93

00:05:54.700 there's gol bahar near machad three decades old still waiting for residents who never came

00:06:01.100 at this rate likely never will so they just built these random housing things all over the country

00:06:07.020 but all of the money was grafted because you know it was taken by the you know the imams whatever 0.96

00:06:11.720 so these these how these apartment complexes are giant things of empty apartment complexes all over

00:06:18.500 the country that nobody's living in that don't really function because they didn't think that oh we need

00:06:23.880 to build them near where the jobs are so then you have this ultra overcrowded primary city

00:06:29.220 what would a day zero mean for people if it actually ended up happening yeah households would

00:06:34.600 have to queue for water rations eg 20 liters a day so basically you'd go to a line you get your water

00:06:40.300 for the day and your family would have to be able to bathe laundry live off of that water and restaurants 0.99

00:06:47.300 and and car washes and stuff like that would likely just be shut down 0.89

00:06:50.960 but to continue here we were talking about the pollution yeah the health toll is a 30 000 deaths

00:07:00.720 nationwide in 2024 up from 24 000 in 2023 ran alone saw 6 000 in the past year causes respiratory disease

00:07:10.480 heart attack etc and year over year there's an 18 oh no they they say 18 of all er visits are

00:07:17.980 linked to the pollution in turan so that means like two one out of five people who are going to a

00:07:23.840 hospital are going because of the air pollution showing up because yeah the it's the place the

00:07:29.340 literal city is killing them oh my gosh that is that is terrifying no no it is like living in hell

00:07:38.460 it feels to me like when i when i look at this stuff like you know wonder people aren't having

00:07:43.720 kids i mean one this must also be affecting fertility even if you want kids but you know yeah 0.98

00:07:51.200 in addition you you don't just have polluted air you also have polluted water oh and i'll know is the

00:07:57.360 air pollution we'll get to this and some of the data in a bit but it's increasing pretty dramatically

00:08:01.120 year over year so it's only getting worse it's not like this problem that they've like abated

00:08:06.440 right because in in china they've actually done a really good job an incredibly good job fighting

00:08:12.020 air pollution yeah but china is full of chinese people and iran's full of iranians you know oh burn 1.00

00:08:19.700 okay well look you can't there's some policies that wouldn't work in america because we're not chinese

00:08:25.920 people either like remember when they tried to set up the semiconductor fabs in america they're like

00:08:32.080 americans are not just not good enough at following orders to make semiconductors 1.00

00:08:35.960 yeah they came here they're like sorry they're too retarded they're too retarded yeah that was 1.00

00:08:41.040 that was the takeaway yeah and you could also you know this is yeah not awesome so you also have a

00:08:48.860 problem with this stuff affecting the the farmlands and stuff like that oh and also i should note here

00:08:54.460 you have daily outages that you were talking about of of power which makes it very hard to run things

00:09:00.020 like factories and stuff like that the economist noreen robini predicts a collapse of the iranian

00:09:05.680 government was in a year if pressures mount and others have been warning of civil war in the

00:09:10.760 meantime the country is wasting money on things like mig-29s from russia when a mig-29 is completely

00:09:18.520 useless against american f-35s which just shows that they're not even really like they're playing like

00:09:24.920 an aesthetic game for grifting right i think this is also why they lasted so shortly when israel decided to

00:09:32.520 bomb them to be like actually because their their actual defense tools were not very effective

00:09:38.740 actually let's take a minute to talk about this so iran basically had this plan so if you want to get

00:09:44.920 an idea of the geopolitics of the region okay you have iran's got like one real buddy and that buddy

00:09:53.320 is qatar and the reason why iran and qatar are buddies is mostly because they share a natural gas field

00:10:01.580 that goes under both of the countries and is one of their major income sources and so they have to

00:10:06.800 play nice or they lose one of their major income sources and this is true for both countries aligned

00:10:11.640 incentives are the best predictor of good collaboration yes so but but everyone else freaking

00:10:18.640 hates them at this point but they've been able to maintain power because what they did is they funded a

00:10:23.680 bunch of terror networks right so they qatar did or well both of them iran did but qatar did as well 0.59

00:10:30.180 like because they were working together but they were trying to build up their their regional power

00:10:35.260 base and so like you know saudi arabia might be like allied with like actually like the uae and

00:10:42.080 like becoming closer to allying with israel and stuff like that and and the united states in sort of this

00:10:46.880 axis but then what i randed is it would fund you know hezbollah it would fund hamas it would fund

00:10:53.500 quote-unquote you know freedom fighters in in whatever region you know they had another area and like

00:10:58.880 god i can't remember what other country that is but there were a number of countries where they

00:11:02.880 basically funded they had done the the underground terrorist organizations that had like pseudo

00:11:08.980 sticks okay yeah and iran spent a lot of money and a lot of time building all of these into capable

00:11:15.880 actors for fighting and then what happened was two things first the the because because basically when

00:11:25.340 everybody started bombing iran iran basically picks up its phones and it's like hey guys we've been

00:11:31.120 funding you forever will you do something right like and all of them phone lines were dead for a couple

00:11:38.460 reasons there was actually one african group that did end up launching a missile in israel but it ended

00:11:44.660 up hitting a bus in gaza note here thinking of the houthis and they did send 200 missiles but all the 0.84

00:11:51.900 ones that would have landed within israel were blocked by israel's defense forces which is why

00:11:56.400 the only ones that did land landed in gaza that said i don't know if one hit a bus it hit something

00:12:02.860 wait oh okay it's not very competent this is what happens when you give it to random extremists when

00:12:10.240 you give them explosives but anyway so what happened was is israel first beheaded with the pager attack 0.58

00:12:18.180 program which was incredibly effective and then the secondary attack what was that on hezbollah i want

00:12:22.560 to say where they basically took out hezbollah which was one of these key allies the hamas is is

00:12:28.120 basically tied down with the whole israel situation a little bit and then the people it was funding in

00:12:33.620 africa were basically retarded which they didn't fully grok so that that basically is what happened 0.99

00:12:39.800 every one of these plays that they had been investing in and investing in investing and fizzled all out at 0.68

00:12:44.980 once right before everyone started bombing them and nobody came to their aid because nobody cares

00:12:51.740 except for maybe china and we'll get to why china so this is one of the things on the other side here

00:12:56.640 but the point i'm making here is iran basically made this big political bet in a network of terror

00:13:02.140 cells that israel completely eradicated and so they don't have any geopolitical friends to fall back on 0.90

00:13:10.440 they work with russia now with you know selling them more supplies and stuff like that but that's

00:13:16.340 mostly only because they have similar enemies they're not actually very friendly with each other i mean

00:13:20.800 keep in mind russia's occupation of the of the region that that they're not that happy about

00:13:26.540 all right let's talk about the the water crisis so the crisis impacts over 88 million people virtually

00:13:34.440 the entire population and that's agricultural lands over 80 percent of iran's territory faces acute water

00:13:40.660 stress 80 percent of the territory is facing acute water stress oh no one talks about this

00:13:47.740 with reservoirs rivers and aquifers at record lows 19 major dams are nearly dry and to rand's primary

00:13:56.840 reservoirs like the amar kabri dam are at just 38 capacity the lowest in decades it is left

00:14:04.140 rolling blackouts because keep in mind they're using hydropower as hydropower accounts for a

00:14:08.100 significant portion of electricity at a 14 000 megawatt shortfall so like wait wait wait so

00:14:15.820 hydropower typically happens when you have like really good river flows and whatnot yeah but so

00:14:21.580 like what i mean i understand they drained their underground aquifers but why is their hydropower

00:14:26.160 running out so they called it the rebuilding jihad literally i kid you not and what they did is

00:14:32.000 after the islamists took over they went you can have a weight loss jihad it's it's fine yes yes after 1.00

00:14:37.560 the it's like saying mind conf or something you know my strong this so they went around gosh i need

00:14:42.300 to have a weight loss conf no i need weight loss is not your conf you need a weight no yeah weight gain 0.99

00:14:47.140 conf so they they went around after they won and did that thing that idiot like communists often do 0.96

00:14:52.760 which it's like oh well we're just gonna like build a bunch of stuff and so what happened in iran 0.92

00:14:58.020 is because the people who were closest to the center of powers like the main grift sources 0.91

00:15:02.700 were involved in dam construction specifically and oh damn construction they basically just had a

00:15:12.260 cycle of never-ending dams the country has a i think like what some of the most dams in the world 0.96

00:15:17.800 just like dam after dam after dam the problem is a lot of these dams shouldn't been built and they

00:15:23.320 ended up causing water problems but then the other problem is is upstream of all the dams

00:15:27.760 they've had huge problems with agriculture just using all the water anyway um so basically they

00:15:35.340 got they got into this problem because they weren't actually doing work they were just

00:15:38.340 building dam after dam after dam i mean keep in mind that's what i'm saying 19 dams are nearly dry

00:15:44.600 that's a lot of dams to be nearly dry on so many so many dams yeah

00:15:49.380 groundwater and surface water aquifers are depleting at 3.8 meter millimeters per year

00:15:57.520 with rivers like the zahara day rude reduced to seasonal trickles and lakes vanishing entirely

00:16:03.920 satellite imagery shows stark declines in water bodies around tehran and what's important to note

00:16:10.000 here is iran actually used to have the largest body of fresh water in the middle east and they have

00:16:15.640 depleted it to be i think at its lowest it was 12 of its original size and unusable at that point

00:16:22.880 because it concentrated all of the like pollutants in it when it depleted that much when just everything

00:16:27.120 around it basically died but they they then had this major project because people are like well

00:16:31.760 iran says it recognizes this problem and it's going to deal with them and i said it said that about this

00:16:36.300 lake 10 years ago and now it's only up to like 20 percent so like even if they do do everything like

00:16:42.120 they said they were going to do is this lake it's unlikely to matter right so near term experts

00:16:48.020 predict a point of no return within five years this is in water supplies if mass urban shortages

00:16:53.560 and agricultural collapse overdrawing aquifers could cause irreversible substance and salination

00:16:58.780 so basically yeah if they draw down the aquifers too much those aquifers become never usable again

00:17:04.140 because of salvation problems yeah now one of the things that tehran is

00:17:07.800 trying to talk about doing to fix this is move the capital

00:17:13.340 so they want to move it south to the coast sort of near where dubai is okay the problem because

00:17:22.000 they're like well we can buy a bunch of cheap land they're like sure and if you're from doing this

00:17:25.200 the problem is is that this is also a a insanely expensive idea um they just don't have yeah but i

00:17:33.380 mean like what are your other options at this point right like i'm all about declaring bankruptcy

00:17:37.300 on tehran at this point yeah just build a few government buildings and be like hey we'll move

00:17:41.760 the technical government here and more industry will build up around that well yeah and like honestly

00:17:47.520 what are there there can be no industry as you point out on day zero if electricity doesn't work

00:17:54.460 you can't run factories it like it doesn't matter like either way tehran is it sounds like they're

00:18:00.320 oh you want to talk about how bad this is so so remember i was talking about the dams

00:18:04.220 they've built over a thousand dams since 1979 oh wait they're run by a group called the water

00:18:12.680 mafia quote unquote and then mafia 87 percent of the water is used by low value crops that are being

00:18:21.520 grown based on subsidy driven farming so they're so irma the second largest lake in the middle league

00:18:29.020 and vital fresh water a body spanning 5 000 square kilometers in the northwestern iran

00:18:33.900 it supported millions through fishing agricultural tourism but over the past past few decades it has

00:18:39.540 decreased by 90 percent in size because of piping millions of cubic meters from rivers like zab

00:18:45.640 starting in 2017 that connected to it and you can you can see pictures of it you'll see like giant

00:18:50.660 ships and stuff just like in in a desert now oh my gosh oh i think i've seen these i mean i'm sure

00:18:56.540 there are lots of places like this but they they said they were going to fix it back in 2019 and

00:19:00.640 basically nothing happened well yeah what can you do though you can't fix this like problems like

00:19:05.220 this you really can't fix this is also a problem in places like california you know like the in the

00:19:09.800 american west where we're drawing down the okalala aquifer and there are issues with the colorado

00:19:14.880 river like this is not like water water is a big problem yeah all right so let's talk about

00:19:21.420 because we had another video on the secular theocracy we already talked about how quickly

00:19:26.960 people are one leaving islam globally which we should probably do another video on but specifically

00:19:32.260 within the theocratic state of my brain and this is why i always say like catholic integralists are

00:19:36.400 just completely numbskulls i'm like okay guys look at your catholic majority countries that's where

00:19:42.920 deconversions are having the fastest i mean right like it does not work look at the islamic 1.00

00:19:49.100 theocratic countries when you do the clapping for emphasis is this cultural appropriation from

00:19:54.200 woke culture though it's cultural appropriation from woke people but you're doing it because

00:19:58.060 it's insensitive like you're doing it to trigger them i'm doing it to trigger people yeah okay just

00:20:02.300 just i'm trying to do my clapping like a woke person um it doesn't it doesn't work right like

00:20:08.820 it it tends to lead to higher rates of deconversion and lower rates of religious observance yeah when

00:20:15.620 you force it on someone for like when you when you pay someone to practice their hobby they start

00:20:19.940 to freaking hate it like this makes sense we all know this yeah but where this is cool is when we

00:20:24.900 were doing that survey we were talking about a survey that a lot of people were like hey this survey

00:20:29.700 may have been carried out incorrectly or may have had bias to it and i'm like yeah okay i'll buy that

00:20:35.640 but since then there has been leaks from the iranian government's own studies oh so this is the

00:20:42.420 iranian government study the ministry of culture and islamic guidance via university of tehran do

00:20:48.240 we have a ministry of culture yeah it was conducted in late 2023 and i will go over the various

00:20:55.440 information they have here so daily prayer rate it fell from 78.5 percent in 2015 decent to 54.8 percent

00:21:05.340 late 2020 a 30 percent drop over eight years that's not even up to this year when the other

00:21:11.880 study was showing more of a drop ramadan fasting never fast increased so so in 2015 only 5.1 percent

00:21:20.900 never fasted for ramadan that increased to 2023 to 27.4 percent dude this is this is where like

00:21:27.900 middle eastern countries getting so obese they need to fast when they need more ramadan i guess the 0.99

00:21:33.200 ramadan is pretty bad because you're just eating so much in yeah so quran reading keep in mind this 1.00

00:21:38.540 is also a government organization in a country where you can be like jailed for not being muslim enough

00:21:45.220 like these numbers are definitely under reporting things but even these numbers are extremely dire

00:21:52.020 never read the quran 9.1 percent in 2015 never read the quran in 2023 yeah 19.2 percent in 2023

00:22:01.360 self-identified as highly religious so these ones we only have 2023 okay so highly religious was only

00:22:08.720 42.6 percent in 2023 and not religious or lightly religious was 24.3 percent in in that year by by

00:22:16.480 the government survey and then if you look at support for separating religion from politics

00:22:21.600 that went from 30.7 percent in 2015 to 72.9 percent in 2023 this is their authoritarian theocratic

00:22:34.000 government doing a survey of their own populace saying 72.9 percent want a separation of church

00:22:40.220 that is shocking a 138 percent increase it points out 85 percent of respondents said societal religiosity

00:22:52.800 decreased over the past five years so yeah i bet so the other study that we looked at showed even

00:22:58.220 higher numbers so this was the garmin religion study done in 2020 so shia muslim identification they

00:23:05.400 had it only 32.2 percent in 2020 a sharp drop from what officials said which was 96 percent

00:23:11.700 no religion was 22.2 percent and then plus 8.8 percent for atheists so that that brings it to around 30

00:23:18.840 percent were no religion or atheists that's that's crazy well can you blame them the air is killing them 1.00

00:23:27.460 the water is running out welcome to muslim sensitivity training it is important for us to understand 0.90

00:23:35.080 why the muslims feel the way they do first of all there's no sex until marriage in the muslim world 1.00

00:23:41.080 now this would be fine except that in the muslim religion you also can't jack off and what do we 0.99

00:23:47.820 know about the places muslims live they live in sand now put yourself in the shoes of a muslim 1.00

00:23:55.860 it's friday night but you can't have sex and you can't jack off there's sand in your eyes and probably 1.00

00:24:02.000 in the crack here and then some cartoon comes along from a country where people are getting laid and 0.98

00:24:06.420 mocks your profit well you know what i'd be pretty pissed off too 47 percent do do daily prayers not

00:24:14.500 performed 60 percent and then they had done another poll that showed even more where they showed a

00:24:20.140 rejection of religious rule 66 percent and support for secular separation of religion and state they got

00:24:26.760 81 this was in in 2024 wild wow i don't i mean you mentioned earlier that one economist was expecting

00:24:39.860 basically some kind of revolution or serious social unrest what do you even do though you know like if

00:24:45.840 someone was like oh like oh malcolm we're gonna you know put you in charge of iran you first you'd be

00:24:51.440 like no thanks but like if you had to be put in charge what would you even do normalize relations

00:24:56.520 with israel in the united states they could like their citizens want them to do it right like yeah

00:25:02.180 but then normalizing relations with israel in the u.s isn't going to bring their water back

00:25:06.240 right but it would allow them to sell their oil at a higher price which is 80 percent of their

00:25:11.920 country's profits at this point but then you you be incredibly dictatorial about any form of

00:25:18.820 corruption public executions for that okay no i mean i do think you should have public executions

00:25:24.300 for corruption i think you need to be really harsh on corruption and i would because i think that

00:25:29.540 when when you get what people don't understand about corruption like i think corruption is worse than

00:25:34.620 murder the reason is is because the long-term effects of it are much worse if you amount to

00:25:40.020 murder more people essentially it basically amounts to murder of cities of thousands of children a year

00:25:47.480 rather than i guess when you consider the number of people even just being hospitalized due to poor

00:25:51.280 air quality right now yeah like yeah if you fudge your report like an environmental report or something

00:25:57.600 like that and that ends up with no water in 10 years or something like that or a dam breaking in the

00:26:04.600 city below it ended up flooding or right yeah no okay fair point yeah and you need to i mean i guess

00:26:10.860 yeah even consider the the role that government corruption in russia played in their like in the loss of

00:26:16.280 soldiers lives yeah the reason why i say corruption execution for all corruption right is because

00:26:23.680 people will say well i didn't know that this would lead to a dam to break i didn't know that this would

00:26:29.080 lead to and you've got to be like well you know that we we do you know public torture and execution for

00:26:34.440 any form of corruption so just don't do it do not and and you really need it in a place like iran

00:26:40.600 because it's so normal within the culture there it's it's just such a intrinsic part of persian

00:26:48.200 culture historically going back you know hundreds of thousands of years you need to just come in with

00:26:54.360 a whip and be like we're not going to allow this anymore and we're going to root it out really really

00:26:59.500 aggressively and i think that that could fix a lot of these problems quickly i mean keep in mind if you

00:27:05.020 drop the subsidies for the food crops that that are basically just being paid out to keep people

00:27:10.780 quiet and not revolting in these areas then you could drop the water use in these areas spend that

00:27:15.440 money importing the food instead and do an actual moving of the capital to a new location like there

00:27:21.740 is a way around this it's just that they would never do it because as soon as they hear move the

00:27:25.940 capital to a new location they're like what an opportunity for for corruption right like what an

00:27:30.560 opportunity to buy land in the region and hike up prices and then make sure the government buys it

00:27:35.800 at 10 times the price and blah blah blah blah but here are some cool things you might not know about

00:27:40.180 iran okay yeah give us some cheerful endings so you know they're having this huge problem with

00:27:45.200 fertility below the us's it's like 1.4 why you're gonna say good stuff did you know that ivf is free in

00:27:51.580 iran oh good for them also they have some of the best gender transition surgeries a lot of trans

00:27:58.960 people of course forced or death but they do but like actually there's a lot of medical tourism to

00:28:04.720 iran and there are there are special travel agencies that sell medical tourism to iran even of like they

00:28:12.080 address things like are you concerned about being gay and going to iran like here's how it's safe like

00:28:17.120 they they really like and there are a lot of very woke people in the u.s and canada who have gone on

00:28:22.260 the record saying like okay well i i don't support what iran is doing but capitalism ruins my ability

00:28:32.620 to transition in the u.s so i have to it's not even a choice i have and i know that iran has developed

00:28:39.580 many of their good methods by forcibly experimenting on their own citizens who happen to be gay but i just 0.93

00:28:46.100 don't have a choice because capitalism they just don't care they don't care they don't care that

00:28:50.800 these were developed not experimenting on gay people but what iran used to do is force gay people

00:28:54.400 to gender transition to make them not gay yeah but a lot of the surgeries that they performed were

00:28:58.740 experimental yeah yeah uh which is funny that the the modern left saw this and is like that that seems

00:29:05.600 good that's like no it's not good but it's affordable so yeah it's not good but it's affordable so did you

00:29:13.020 know that they also give interest-free loans of ten thousand dollars upon marriage slash childbirth

00:29:18.800 that's super common in islamic countries it seems they also give housing priority to families with

00:29:26.660 over three kids and child allowances of twenty dollars per child per month oh twenty dollars

00:29:32.480 that's gonna well i mean i bet that goes far in iran i mean it's not gonna get you an ipad but you

00:29:38.020 food's pretty cheap in a lot of these sorts of places maybe you you can you can buy your daily

00:29:43.440 pack of air for that yes there we go baseball references in this episode as president of planet

00:29:50.620 spaceball i can assure both you and your viewers that there's absolutely no air shortage whatsoever

00:29:57.400 yes of course i've heard the same rumor myself yes thanks for calling and not reversing the charges

00:30:04.100 what are some other fun ones here they also restrict the degrees that women can get which 1.00

00:30:21.700 is another really cool thing they do in iran another cool thing

00:30:25.860 oh boy so and so i love you so it's so funny having you on this show the whatever base camp

00:30:36.540 you're humoring me with that name yes since 2012 iranian universities have imposed gender-based

00:30:43.740 quotas and bans on women for 77 to 80 fields affecting over 30 institutions this reverses women's

00:30:50.280 dominance 60 of students in the 1990s and ties into conservative pushes for islamitization of

00:30:56.260 education i mean on the bright side we we are able to point to iran as strong evidence for why

00:31:04.140 restricting female academic choice doesn't improve birth rates so iran is the sacrificial lamb 0.93

00:31:11.600 demonstrating to it's a sacrificial lamb i'm happy to make yeah we often point out here we don't have

00:31:17.740 a problem with iranian culture we we have an iranian president in this country right you know

00:31:22.320 like maga is all about iran given that trump aesthetically persian yeah yeah you got a link

00:31:28.120 to that video you made the song song of it i'll add the song to this one but trump is culturally persian

00:31:35.400 i do not know how he sorry as somebody with persian friends and white waspy friends if you if you

00:31:42.960 have have you seen the ballroom designs for the new east wing oh my god are they horrible

00:31:47.520 persiany nonsense well i don't know have you seen the freaking oval office i mean at the gold it just

00:31:52.740 keeps like racking up it's like a like a dragon's den in there but but the point i'm making here is

00:31:58.160 from my cultural perspective it comes off as very tacky because i have a waspy aesthetic perspective

00:32:03.400 you know we live in like a farmhouse that's you know minimally decorated and you know stuff like that

00:32:08.720 you go to trump stuff and i show you pictures of like persian houses and trump's house you're going to

00:32:16.620 be like oh my god like yeah it doesn't scream martha's vineyard in the trump properties it

00:32:22.500 doesn't scream i have a line on repeat that i don't know if people get but i assume they would

00:32:27.240 where i'm like where are his pictures of old boats and fancy boats and horses yes and it's a thing that

00:32:34.460 like if you've hung around waspy houses models of fancy boats and paintings of boats and paintings 0.97

00:32:43.460 of horses were like a thing and yet you know like we've been to mar-a-lago right like trump's got

00:32:49.920 none of that and this is like on the water in miami right here trump didn't i mean he acquired

00:32:57.080 mar-a-lago and mar-a-lago before he acquired it or he does before maybe maybe there's pictures look at

00:33:03.300 pictures of his house no i'm just saying mar-a-lago used to be a presidential retreat

00:33:06.260 it was owned by the u.s government but but it's decorated in his style if you look at pictures

00:33:10.740 of his penthouse his you know his new year penthouse no it's all very no pictures of boats you see no

00:33:16.020 so clearly i don't have a problem with persians if i'm okay with trump as the u.s president right you

00:33:22.260 know i'd also point out here that when i was talking about persians being very you know tempted by

00:33:28.800 corruption when contrasted with other cultural traditions trump definitely fits that as well

00:33:34.680 a lot of people are like like the trump family is very obviously done some corrupt deals that benefit

00:33:40.300 themselves there's there's been some grumbling about this i do not like corruption come on every

00:33:46.960 morning on the front cover well not there is no front cover of drudge it's all front cover but like

00:33:51.920 drudge is always like new thing that what i want to watch though is whatever like i want like a public

00:33:58.060 reality tv saga of like baron trump i want baron trump dating i want baron trump doing corrupt

00:34:03.860 deals i want baron trump no but the thing about the way that trump does it which also kind of comes

00:34:10.040 off his sort of version is i think one of the reasons less people are mad about it is because

00:34:14.420 he's so blatantly obvious about it like that's the thing is we don't care that much about corruption

00:34:21.000 like the american id we care about authenticity like authentically corrupt and he jokes about it like

00:34:27.620 he hams up about it like joe biden is like okay i'm gonna like get my son and we're gonna send him

00:34:35.380 to like work with these other countries that are gonna like funnel money into like private accounts

00:34:40.660 and pay for like phony consulting gigs and and trump's just like hey you want to start like

00:34:48.360 a crypto coin son and we'll call it trump coin and then in an election cycle like that'd be cool right

00:34:57.540 like like it's like not even like okay we're gonna hide that it's tied to my presidential campaign

00:35:02.740 we're gonna hide that it's no no we're gonna use the same branding i love it anyway so so with the

00:35:12.260 fields that women were banned from were stuff like mining nuclear petroleum engineering based stuff 1.00

00:35:16.880 accounting chemistry computer science business education consent counseling math oh so just make

00:35:23.100 women study useless degrees like like i know it's funny because typically in in in in countries where 1.00

00:35:29.820 women have fewer rights and less freedom they go disproportionately into STEM fields because 1.00

00:35:34.740 they have to make money and like they don't get choices and typically when women have more freedom 1.00

00:35:40.300 and more social autonomy and empowerment they they disproportionately choose the the fun soft

00:35:46.920 non-STEM thing so it's really weird that iran was like that they did the opposite they're like let's

00:35:52.900 force women into the fields that they would have if they had freedom i don't get it take that women 1.00

00:36:00.880 you're only allowed to do that fun easy stuff now get out of the mines whatever it's very strange

00:36:08.720 uh by the way what are the other things is causing the collapse of the roads and stuff like that which

00:36:14.540 is kind of cool given how old the city is is there's over 600 square kilometers and this is just mapped

00:36:21.900 of ancient underground aquifers under terran so those like aqueducts yeah like aqueducts under the city

00:36:28.560 that they built yeah like a thousand years ago better than like following into some french crypt 0.77

00:36:33.580 full of skeletons i'm sure they've got their skeletal crypts as well or something god um why hold on to

00:36:40.780 the dead bodies people cremate them and turn them into diamonds cremate them and turn them into diamonds 0.58

00:36:48.160 we need to go on alibaba and get a diamond making machine for ashes oh my gosh by the way we're talking

00:36:54.780 about how quickly things are sinking by the way the city itself terran sinks keep it going here i'm

00:37:01.560 saying centimeters and not millimeters it sinks 10 to 30 centimeters per year so they're like venice but

00:37:09.880 like without the range of the year the city is sinking imagine what that would do to your house's

00:37:14.260 foundation well yeah but also like keep it they look like peru and not like bougie peru not like

00:37:20.560 where we lived but we're like yeah close to the airport peru where it's just these like stacked

00:37:25.860 clay-like houses that look just like they're on cinder blocks and falling apart so so let's talk

00:37:30.440 about how i ran to censorship because that's pretty interesting as well oh we gotta head out okay

00:37:34.520 i'm late all right we'll do this well you can yeah i can i can step away and you can because

00:37:39.760 this is good stuff we'll do it later okay i don't want to miss out i want to know what happened yeah

00:37:46.540 you get to hear about come on i'm sure you're gonna find it fun to learn how they're banning people

00:37:50.600 from using cell phones and stuff like that yeah yeah i can't wait okay good i'm looking forward to

00:37:57.100 literal hellscape literal hellscape tried to finish this episode but i ran out of time i freaking hate 0.88

00:38:04.900 you this is how this is how spousal abuse starts this is how oh my god why am i married to this

00:38:13.600 princess as of october 2025 internet penetration is 85 population that's 78 million users

00:38:19.880 but internet freedom is heavily restricted in iran so internet filtering and blocking over 50

00:38:26.200 of global websites are inaccessible including social media instagram and facebook has been

00:38:31.080 banned since 2009 with periodic lists news outlets bbc persia voa and tools like vpns illegal since 2024

00:38:38.040 although 80 of users evade via smuggling tech in may 2025 cyber freedom areas were introduced for

00:38:46.760 elites granting uncensored access to select groups what that's crazy cyber freedom if you're the elite

00:38:55.300 you can do what you want but most people know wait a second do i like this idea i don't like this idea

00:39:02.320 i don't know like maybe there are some things you should only unlock when like you can be

00:39:09.180 responsible with it no this is why i'm really against like porn banning because as soon as you

00:39:14.040 ban porn then you need to ban vpns and if you ban vpns and you can tell what anyone is doing online

00:39:18.360 at any time okay which is very dangerous for intellectual freedom okay especially we have

00:39:23.160 urban monocultural government in power i would can't go on okay deep packet inspection so the dpi

00:39:31.080 monitors traffic so they like literally monitor the traffic with things like i assume ais apps

00:39:36.760 like apparate state approved youtube alternative tracks users journalists face arrests over 100 in

00:39:43.140 2025 office raids and threats from straying from the official lines a new untrue content law passed july

00:39:50.720 2025 criminalizes fake news with up to five years in prison targeting critical reports oh and then state

00:39:58.880 media irib dominates algorithms on domestic platforms amplify pro-regime posts so it's a

00:40:05.660 pro-regime post the algorithms and the platform that's specifically meant to implement it and during

00:40:10.100 elections or crises bots flood social media with disinformation like it's like they have the bots

00:40:16.560 and they try to make it look like everyone agrees with them within their own country to try to maintain

00:40:21.540 this belief and consensus they also do partial blackouts so stealth blackouts a 2025 innovation so they're

00:40:28.220 getting more sophisticated at this was making vpns illegal this stealth blackout concept that came

00:40:34.000 out this year where they isolate domestic users while maintaining global routing e.g mid 2025 tactics

00:40:40.680 reduce speeds by 95 without alerting outsiders the mian group documented a major 2025 shutdown lasting days

00:40:49.060 costing 170 million in digital economy losses they also block cell phones access so how does this work

00:40:56.060 they partially shut down target data 4g 5g throttle to 2g while voices in sms may persist full cuts

00:41:03.980 occurred via bgp rerouting or power grid interference in 2025 power outages for energy crisis is exacerbating

00:41:13.080 this so they sort of route which areas are not going to get power as well to handle the fact that they

00:41:18.680 know they're getting blackouts anyway gosh this is so dystopian but not in the fun sexy way

00:41:23.880 right frequency examples routine during protests e.g 2019 bloody november that killed 1500 amid a week-long blackout

00:41:32.100 in june 2025 israeli conflict a 12-day near total mobile internet cutoff left millions offline for 24 hours

00:41:39.100 there were since 2019 post restrictions extended into october blockaging blocking messages apps

00:41:45.220 users resorted to using phones on star lakes smuggled or illegal but 70 percent of iranians reported a total

00:41:52.200 isolation during the recent crisis so you're being struck by israel and the government like if you

00:41:58.300 cared about your citizens or like they cared a lick about their citizens life you would want them to

00:42:03.060 have access to real-time information about what's going on during this crisis but no they get attacked

00:42:08.900 and their first thought is how do i keep my own people from rising up and overthrowing us you know because

00:42:14.300 that's what they think mods are asleep take over god yeah but i think it shows you know when you

00:42:21.080 bomb iran or something like that what the government sees is this is israel siding with its populace

00:42:26.660 against the government wow yeah why else would they be doing this yeah and i think that this is something

00:42:31.600 that people do not understand they think that this is a conflict with iran's people against israel

00:42:36.540 when it is not it is a few elites uh that are that are you know really handling this crisis and

00:42:43.380 the real reason they handle it is is interesting i think just as a separate note here uh was in the

00:42:49.380 elite circles in the middle east there's something of a like a dominance hierarchy that's based on how

00:42:55.300 much you can f with israel and you're seen as at the bottom of this dominant no sorry not even israel

00:43:00.100 specifically the jews it's about effing with the jews the more you can f with the jews the higher on 0.90

00:43:05.380 the dominance hierarchy you are the less you f with the jews and the more you try to work with 0.99

00:43:09.760 them the lower on the dominance hierarchy you are and even if you don't actually personally have

00:43:14.460 animosity towards jewish people if you are in these elite circles you will feel like you need to do this 1.00

00:43:20.680 for social status signaling reasons oh my goodness it's like a weird flex thing anyway tactics used

00:43:28.040 shutdowns that produce prevented real-time sharing a.g videos of floods or sinkholes so they often do this

00:43:33.920 when there's natural disasters and obviously why would they just so people aren't as aware of

00:43:39.080 how often they take place well i mean so remember when we talked about like the the crisis with the

00:43:45.860 water yeah when this led to like widespread sandstorms in august they shut down cell phones in these

00:43:51.980 regions that are experiencing the actual crisis

00:43:55.220 anyway if if you're talking about vpns they're used by around 60 of iran's 78 million users so you know

00:44:05.240 they are widely used but not as widely used as you'd think there's still 40 of people who don't have

00:44:08.940 access to them but they're they they're like very dangerous to use because a dpi can allow them to trace

00:44:15.520 vpns basically they detect a vpn protocols open vpn wire guard blocking 60 to 70 percent of known

00:44:22.400 vpn servers weekly in october 2025 new dpi layers disrupted even obscure providers so it's getting

00:44:29.020 harder and harder to use vpns because the internet is like checking does this look like they're using

00:44:33.740 a vpn and they can just find the protocols and then turn them off

00:44:37.520 yeah ip whitelisting the holonet only allows for pre-approved ips cutting off of vpn endpoints

00:44:46.840 during the june 2025 conflict related blackouts 95 of vpns connections failed for days domain seizures

00:44:53.720 vpn provider sites are blocked new ones are targeted within hours via ai driven scans legal

00:44:59.720 crackdowns in july 2025 untrue content law criminalizes vpn use with penalties of one to five

00:45:05.460 years one to five years in prison so yeah smuggled vpns via usb or dark web are pricier 10 to 20

00:45:14.380 a month versus the free pre-2024 ones risking scams or malware as well yeah i mean imagine you sell

00:45:21.440 somebody what you tell them as a vpn but you're really recording all the naughty stuff they're doing 0.88

00:45:24.440 then you threaten to send it to the government and you can get a good oh oh no throttling and stealth

00:45:31.420 blackouts during crises in october 2025 protesters mobile data is throttled to two gigabytes 0.1

00:45:38.180 megabytes rendering vpns unusable even if connected oh my gosh well that's a clever way to

00:45:44.040 make them impossible to use smuggled starlink terminals there's about a thousand in the country

00:45:49.640 offer uncensored access but cost five hundred dollars plus and require illegal hardware regime

00:45:55.080 janitor signals in september 2025 and border patrols see skits so they're scanning for these and

00:46:00.840 attempting to block them so yeah now we'll talk about one good thing that's happening in iran um

00:46:06.700 is their drone program it's been pretty popular um so and they're they're pretty inexpensive so you

00:46:13.820 can get a shaheed 136 drone for twenty thousand dollars a unit and they're mass produced at about

00:46:19.280 seven to ten per day and they're about huge hit with three thousand exported to russia 2022 for ukrainian

00:46:25.560 strikes and they've been used by the hussies versus ships on the red sea versus the you know

00:46:30.860 one million dollar missiles that you have with a lot of american missiles you got the mahari r6 which

00:46:36.100 costs around a hundred thousand dollars this is a medium altitude reconnaissance on armed uav with

00:46:42.700 a hundred kilogram payload this was exported to russia and venezuela and pretty popular and then you've

00:46:47.780 got the new shaheed the shaheed 129 to 149 which is one to two million per unit and it's a medium

00:46:54.380 altitude long endurance like a u.s reaper with a 2 000 kilometer range armed with missiles and bombs

00:47:00.300 and this is seen regional use in syria and yemen and then they also have the aliba 5 which is the

00:47:06.440 tactical drone for fifty thousand dollars short range recon strike vertical takeoff you know what

00:47:11.460 you're typically thinking of when you're thinking of drones because a lot of these other drones look

00:47:14.080 more like gliders and this one is you know also getting pretty popular and iraqi's militias are using

00:47:20.120 it another positive note for them is their economy is stable only in that it has nearly completely

00:47:25.680 collapsed anyway and 80 to 90 percent of their income it's coming from or sorry what percent is

00:47:32.180 it i can't remember i said it earlier it's like 85 percent it's coming from oil and on the downside

00:47:36.480 80 to 90 percent of their oil is coming from exports to china so that's that's not good when you

00:47:42.980 have you know that level of concentration and keep in mind that requires things like the you know

00:47:48.100 suez canal staying open that requires a lot of very tricky things to make work for iran and it requires

00:47:54.620 going past a lot of water dominated by countries that don't very much like either iran or china very

00:48:01.920 much like india so a very precarious situation if that was ever blocked off for them which interesting

00:48:08.900 is that china really hasn't pushed back on on this you think they would exercise more attempts to

00:48:14.440 control them but they they haven't they i mean they have done some some you know stuff within the

00:48:20.360 country but they they haven't gone overboard and part of the reason is i think it's because 60 or

00:48:24.620 something a fairly high amount of china's oil is actually coming from iran so they i think the main

00:48:30.320 thing is that they're afraid of iran retaliating as well one of the few countries are actually afraid

00:48:35.720 of where they really should be equally afraid of every country on that shipping line which i mean they are

00:48:39.820 that that is what the taiwan situation is really about they need to get taiwan to break our ability

00:48:46.120 to blockade them by blockading the strait of malacca and they they will do anything to see that happen 0.99

00:48:54.060 not that it matters because their fertility rate is garbage and taiwan's fertility rate is garbage and 0.92

00:49:00.740 neither of them is going to exist as meaningful power players in the future you can see our videos on 0.87

00:49:04.540 that i mean it matters to people who are extremely short-term oriented so yeah that's that's like

00:49:11.140 98 of people by the way malcolm i was going to talk about the current political deadlock and stuff in

00:49:16.200 the country but i don't really care just you know what country isn't politically deadlocked these days

00:49:20.560 honestly i mean the united states sorry we're in the middle of a government shutdown yeah i know and

00:49:26.840 we're winning because we wanted the shutdown we're walking around walmart and one guy's talking to another

00:49:31.980 guy he goes the government keeps the most powerful country in the world can't stay shut down much

00:49:36.660 longer he's like no he's like well we need the government to work and the other guy was like no

00:49:40.600 we don't no we don't that's the way many republicans feel i just love that well overheard in walmart it's

00:49:47.100 it's the best i'm just saying like if we end up cleaning up as much as the the demographic shifts

00:49:52.080 make it look like we're going to as soon as you know the supreme court case comes through and

00:49:55.860 redistricting happens it's it's bad like it is it is you know moving to a more of a political

00:50:01.400 consensus within our country until until the democrats can sort of reposition what they

00:50:05.820 they stand for i mean love you someone i love you too i'm really glad we're not in iran thank you

00:50:15.100 for not being born there yeah but it also means we probably shouldn't you know as long as we can

00:50:21.400 keep them from getting the the nukes do not waste time because the war was iran and war is not going

00:50:26.820 to be around for long just let them do their thing and they're genociding themselves right now okay

00:50:32.660 similar to your stance with europe i mean that's why you're in you're in favor of in general this

00:50:38.760 this move toward isolationism you're like why invest either from an antagonistic or supportive

00:50:45.440 standpoint in these countries that are choosing to not inherit the future so yeah there's a few

00:50:51.540 countries worth investing in because they've got good tech and decent fertility rates like israel 1.00

00:50:54.820 australia you know new zealand but like not europe not not iran anyway love you to death have a good

00:51:01.980 one bye all right take us away captain well i'm not i gotta find my notes okay one because you've not

00:51:11.620 been like iran we even talked about iran since iran allowed to play with nukes anymore like i don't

00:51:20.980 know where this came from this is out of left field for you so not exactly we've had sort of a

00:51:26.880 series of how effed is x country how x is y country oh kind of how asma gold has that whole like

00:51:33.820 what on earth is going on in spain japan i mean we did it with like france recently we did it with

00:51:41.460 you know china yeah and and like what like malaysia nepal yeah it's part of his ongoing series

00:51:47.300 yeah we did it with one one country so i think that it's it's good to just keep our fans and to

00:51:52.180 be a source for our fans of economic information right like not economic what are you thinking like

00:51:56.880 geopolitical information you know well you're yeah i need to know i don't i have no idea what's going

00:52:01.400 on in iran right now if there's people getting their news from us you know shouldn't we be ensuring

00:52:05.920 that they're getting like sort of a cohesive and and we might even do a counter series to this like

00:52:11.960 this country is uniquely not effed that would be nice really only two countries that fall into that

00:52:18.440 that's the united states and israel well yeah all the all the anti-semites watching this are not

00:52:23.540 going to want the israel i basically already did that video i think it was on like the jews will own 0.89

00:52:28.100 the future or something or why you need to be nice to the jews we've had like a billion of those
