Summary

In this episode, I talk about the Islamic regime in Iran, the system of supreme leader Ayatollah Khomei, and why he is the worst dictator in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I also discuss the role of women in this system, and how they are treated as second-class citizens.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Khomeini is a king of Iran.
00:00:03.060 Okay.
00:00:03.840 So why do you say that?
00:00:04.780 Because what?
00:00:05.260 Because he can do anything and everything?
00:00:08.580 And the whole idea of elections in Iran is a farce.
00:00:15.180 It's fake.
00:00:16.260 There are no elections in Iran whatsoever.
00:00:18.040 No Iranian has a voice under the system of Walayat al-Faqih,
00:00:22.600 which is the guardianship of the jurist.
00:00:26.200 Can I just explain that to the American listener?
00:00:28.840 Now, we're familiar with communism.
00:00:31.320 We're familiar with socialism, democracy.
00:00:33.440 There is a system in Iran that's not just theocracy.
00:00:37.640 It is the guardianship of the jurist.
00:00:40.920 Walayat al-Faqih, which means Khamei,
00:00:43.640 or a person in his position before him, Khomeini,
00:00:47.220 is the guardian over all Muslims, not just the Shia Muslims,
00:00:52.440 even the Sunnis.
00:00:53.620 He claims he's the guardian over Islam.
00:00:55.740 The Pakistanis, the Malaysians, Indonesians, Saudis, UAE, it's ridiculous.
00:01:00.720 Okay.
00:01:01.000 What does that mean?
00:01:01.620 It means he has the authority, absolute authority,
00:01:04.940 on behalf of God to do whatever he wants.
00:01:06.680 He can look at you and say,
00:01:07.680 Patrick, you and your wife are divorced.
00:01:09.680 And boom, just like that, your marriage is terminated.
00:01:13.200 Simply because he said so.
00:01:14.840 So the whole idea that 90 million people are expected to vote for a president,
00:01:20.240 and then the president goes and kisses the hand of Khamei and says,
00:01:23.140 you know what, ignore the people.
00:01:24.820 Whatever you say, I will do.
00:01:27.380 That is the biggest scam in the history of scams
00:01:30.120 that the Iranian people have to live through.
00:01:33.180 You know, and it's not just a disaster.
00:01:36.000 It's something that is somehow tolerated by the international community,
00:01:39.520 especially the Europeans.
00:01:40.800 They tolerate it.
00:01:42.120 There are no elections in Iran.
00:01:43.700 United Nations, what do you have?
00:01:45.840 You have a president, you have prime minister attend,
00:01:48.700 you have kings attend, fine.
00:01:50.080 You have chancellors, you have chairman of certain parties attend,
00:01:54.240 like the CCP, fine.
00:01:56.000 But there is no such thing as a president,
00:01:58.560 and then above him there is the supreme Islamic leader
00:02:01.460 who rules on behalf of God, who gets to run the country,
00:02:04.320 and he thinks in his mind, run the world the way he wants.
00:02:07.900 That is Islamism.
00:02:09.300 There is no such thing as God speaking to Khamei,
00:02:12.460 telling him, you're my deputy, on behalf of the Savior.
00:02:15.840 The Mahdi, so kill as you like, bomb as you like, butcher as you like.
00:02:19.900 There is no such thing in the Quran that says that.
00:02:22.800 What we have is a regime.
00:02:25.040 We don't even have a government in Iran.
00:02:26.940 There is no government.
00:02:28.280 And it's very wrong for people to think there is a government system in Iran.
00:02:32.220 There is no, it's a regime.
00:02:34.380 It's a cult.
00:02:35.700 A cult of clerics that govern Iran in the name of God.
00:02:40.640 Why?
00:02:40.840 Because it's the best tool to use against populations in mass.
00:02:47.120 Religion.
00:02:48.220 Because the minute you oppose Khamei,
00:02:50.620 it's not that you opposed the ruler.
00:02:54.080 No, no, no.
00:02:54.980 You're certainly not Muslim anymore.
00:02:56.520 How can you oppose the supreme ruler who is the guardian on behalf of God
00:03:01.900 and his Savior on planet Earth?
00:03:04.020 So clearly you're not a Muslim.
00:03:06.020 Clearly you can't be praying because if you pray,
00:03:08.380 then you would have had the piety to stand with the regime.
00:03:13.260 And if that's the case, then you must also eat pork.
00:03:17.060 And slowly, slowly they will drive you out of anything called faith.
00:03:20.440 And that's when you become a mufsid fil ardh,
00:03:22.900 execution, you're a corruptor on planet Earth and so on.
00:03:25.860 Now, we need to distinguish between Islam and Islamism
00:03:30.060 because there is a lot there that the Islamist relies upon you to ignore.
00:03:35.880 The Islamist will not tell you,
00:03:37.600 I am an Islamist and they are Muslims.
00:03:41.920 No, he'll tell you, I am Muslim.
00:03:45.020 And again, extremist doesn't tell you he's an extremist
00:03:47.760 and Islamist doesn't tell you he's an Islamist.
00:03:50.120 They're using their religion.
00:03:51.400 Half of them don't even pray.
00:03:52.360 You think Al-Han Omar can recite the Quran?
00:03:54.240 You think she can open the page and start reading?
00:03:58.120 Impossible.
00:03:59.380 These people, the majority of care,
00:04:01.560 don't even know the structure and the chronology of the Quran.
00:04:04.700 They don't even know the context behind revelation.
00:04:07.220 These are people who, if they need anything now,
00:04:09.300 child GBT, that's their faith.
00:04:11.820 But governments have allowed them to be the face
00:04:14.140 of the Muslim community in America.
00:04:15.780 In 2009, 2008, late December 2008,
00:04:19.440 you went back to home, right?
00:04:21.460 To go to school there for three years.
00:04:23.120 From 2008 until 2013.
00:04:27.500 Right, but you went back 08, 09 to go to school there.
00:04:30.040 And you were there for 2013, yes.
00:04:33.620 And Rome is where Khamenei is from, I believe,
00:04:35.980 if I'm not mistaken.
00:04:36.900 Khamenei is in Rome.
00:04:38.840 If not, that is where he studied with Ruahullah Khomeini
00:04:43.780 back in the days when they were fighting against the Shah
00:04:47.480 in the plans of the first time exile, the second time exile.
00:04:52.000 They've tried multiple different times.
00:04:53.220 Khamenei was kicked out and went to all over the place
00:04:55.280 and then eventually at France.
00:04:57.200 When you went to school there,
00:05:00.320 you can break down what the school structure is
00:05:03.980 so the audience can also understand.
00:05:05.440 When you went to school there,
00:05:07.680 at what point was it when you said,
00:05:09.980 I can't subscribe to this teaching,
00:05:12.080 I've got to get out of here?
00:05:13.100 What caused that?
00:05:14.620 Okay.
00:05:15.480 Beautiful question.
00:05:16.980 Now, Khamenei was born in Mashhad.
00:05:19.880 That's Khurasan, the other side of the country.
00:05:23.160 Mashhad and Qum are very important.
00:05:25.040 So our listeners,
00:05:26.360 Qum is where the holy shrine of Hazrata Ma'asuma is,
00:05:29.940 the sister of Imam Riza,
00:05:32.400 who is buried in Mashhad.
00:05:34.120 Imam Riza is the eighth successor of the holy prophet.
00:05:37.400 So we are 12-ers.
00:05:39.980 We have 12 imams.
00:05:41.520 Number eight is Imam Riza.
00:05:43.020 So that's the holy city of Mashhad.
00:05:44.460 And I was born in the holy city of Qum.
00:05:46.480 And I went back to study in the holy city of Qum
00:05:48.480 in December 2008.
00:05:50.700 And I stayed until 2013.
00:05:53.180 Now, Khamenei and Khomeini both studied in the holy city of Qum
00:05:58.780 and including Hassan Nasrullah,
00:06:04.060 the former secretary general of Hezbollah.
00:06:07.060 They all studied in Qum.
00:06:09.100 Now, Qum is a seminary that has education
00:06:14.260 that is basic, intermediary,
00:06:16.640 and somewhat entry-level into the advanced studies.
00:06:19.620 People usually finish their studies in Qum
00:06:21.600 and then head over to Najaf in Iraq,
00:06:23.560 which is the main ancient seminary
00:06:25.500 for Shia Muslims in the world.
00:06:29.160 And that's 1,000 years old.
00:06:31.480 When it comes to Qum,
00:06:34.400 Qum was an open society,
00:06:37.440 an open seminary,
00:06:38.160 seminary where you had mosques and Islamic centers
00:06:41.880 and you had a cleric,
00:06:42.900 a senior cleric,
00:06:43.940 who had 20, 30, up to 1,000 students sit around him
00:06:47.460 and he would speak about theology,
00:06:49.440 Islamic law, doctrine, ethics, mysticism,
00:06:51.980 Islam, you name it.
00:06:54.400 Come the Iranian revolution of 1979,
00:06:58.260 and by the way, it's not an Iranian revolution.
00:07:00.140 There's nothing Iranian about it.
00:07:01.820 The listeners need to know that Khomeini was an Indian man.
00:07:04.980 He's not even Iranian.
00:07:05.940 But it was an Islamist revolution.
00:07:10.100 Not an Islamic revolution,
00:07:11.380 an Islamist revolution.
00:07:14.200 Coming to 1979,
00:07:17.120 Khomeini understood that he had to do something
00:07:18.900 about these clerics.
00:07:20.800 He had to do something about Islamic law
00:07:22.540 that is governing Iran and governing society.
00:07:24.900 So what he did was
00:07:26.240 is that he turned
00:07:27.260 these freestyle education circles and systems
00:07:32.280 into institutions.
00:07:34.380 And he turned the seminary into a university.
00:07:37.180 And he called it
00:07:38.100 Al-Mustafa International University.
00:07:41.300 The university which I studied in,
00:07:44.600 and I should say, Patrick,
00:07:46.700 one of the best decisions I made in my life,
00:07:48.500 as I always say,
00:07:49.620 was withdrawing from that university.
00:07:51.760 Why is that?
00:07:52.240 Because it is the university
00:07:54.140 that is ruled by the IRGC,
00:07:58.100 ruled by the military
00:08:01.120 that is responsible for supporting
00:08:04.520 Hezbollah and Hamas and the Houthis and so on.
00:08:07.020 But we should also mention
00:08:09.480 that it is not a university
00:08:11.180 like the traditional universities that we have.
00:08:14.940 It is the umbrella organization
00:08:16.840 for over 10,000, 15,000 schools
00:08:20.620 and institutions, educational
00:08:22.520 and seminaries
00:08:23.940 in Iran, across the country,
00:08:26.200 and now even in the Middle East.
00:08:29.060 And they have deputies everywhere
00:08:30.300 recruiting students.
00:08:32.280 Now,
00:08:33.440 so it's building on Khayabani Ma'allam,
00:08:35.800 on Ma'allam Street.
00:08:37.160 It's not an actual university
00:08:38.280 you can go in and study.
00:08:39.720 No.
00:08:40.220 It is an administration
00:08:41.720 that sends you off to another university.
00:08:44.380 When you graduate from that university,
00:08:45.920 you get a certificate
00:08:46.700 from Al-Mustafa University.
00:08:47.980 So, these guys will teach you
00:08:51.300 a revolutionary Islam.
00:08:53.900 How do we export
00:08:55.160 the revolution of Khomeini
00:08:58.060 to Australia,
00:08:59.320 to America,
00:09:00.560 to Canada?
00:09:01.320 How do we bring American citizens?
00:09:03.400 And if I could just ask,
00:09:04.760 could you on Google
00:09:05.700 just put
00:09:06.340 Al-Mahdi
00:09:08.200 Mahdi School
00:09:10.480 Qum
00:09:11.080 with an I.
00:09:12.380 Yeah, School
00:09:12.980 Qum
00:09:13.440 Q-U-M
00:09:14.740 Okay, that's the first one there.
00:09:19.020 You see,
00:09:19.860 that is where Americans go to.
00:09:21.240 Click on that first picture
00:09:22.120 for me, please.
00:09:23.280 Okay, so you see
00:09:24.180 on the left side
00:09:24.760 where that white banner is?
00:09:26.180 That's my room.
00:09:27.520 I was in there
00:09:28.120 with 13 students.
00:09:29.540 That's my dormitory.
00:09:30.860 The first level
00:09:31.800 is where you have
00:09:32.860 the
00:09:33.360 classrooms.
00:09:35.820 And that,
00:09:36.280 you see at the bottom there
00:09:37.740 that rails,
00:09:39.020 the blue and white rails
00:09:39.800 at the bottom?
00:09:40.680 That there takes you
00:09:41.580 to the basement.
00:09:43.040 Okay?
00:09:43.660 Beneath there,
00:09:44.580 there are more classrooms
00:09:45.780 that look just the same.
00:09:47.700 So,
00:09:48.240 first level,
00:09:49.100 second level
00:09:49.680 from the top coming down
00:09:50.880 are where students sleep.
00:09:53.320 And then
00:09:53.940 the ground floor
00:09:55.520 is the classrooms
00:09:57.680 and beneath that
00:09:58.680 is more classrooms.
00:10:00.600 My room
00:10:01.260 is room number 13
00:10:02.640 where,
00:10:03.120 no,
00:10:03.300 on the right side
00:10:04.160 where the banner is.
00:10:07.720 That's where you were at.
00:10:08.680 That's where I was
00:10:09.440 for two years.
00:10:10.420 This is where the British,
00:10:11.340 the Australians,
00:10:12.220 the Westerners
00:10:12.840 who are taken from the West
00:10:14.640 are taken here.
00:10:16.260 Why?
00:10:16.760 To learn Farsi.
00:10:18.340 You learn Farsi,
00:10:19.220 you can understand
00:10:19.700 what Khamenei is saying.
00:10:20.920 He can move you properly.
00:10:23.320 This is the first thing they do.
00:10:25.240 You see those two pictures there?
00:10:27.040 That's the main library
00:10:28.080 that was added in later.
00:10:29.280 Khamenei and Khamenei
00:10:29.980 at the very top.
00:10:31.380 That's the library.
00:10:32.220 That was added later.
00:10:33.640 That's higher.
00:10:35.540 Who gets to go there?
00:10:37.080 Anybody can go to the library?
00:10:39.240 Yes,
00:10:39.620 because everyone here
00:10:40.620 is vetted.
00:10:41.200 Everyone here is an asset.
00:10:42.780 So the deputy
00:10:43.580 of Al-Mustafa University
00:10:45.500 who comes to the West
00:10:46.640 sees you as an asset.
00:10:48.660 Okay,
00:10:49.140 Imam Tawheedi,
00:10:50.660 Australian passport.
00:10:51.840 You speak English.
00:10:52.580 You speak Arabic.
00:10:53.880 You're somewhat charismatic.
00:10:55.120 You're convincing.
00:10:56.500 You know what?
00:10:57.040 Let's take you to Qum.
00:10:58.620 And so this is where
00:10:59.460 the brainwashing happened.
00:11:01.160 From here,
00:11:01.840 they take you to
00:11:02.600 the Friday sermons
00:11:03.820 of Khamenei.
00:11:05.800 This is where
00:11:06.580 they first come in.
00:11:07.600 First year is Farsi
00:11:09.500 and second year
00:11:10.800 is they call it
00:11:11.440 Tamhidiya
00:11:11.980 which is the basics of Islam.
00:11:13.420 Then you move on
00:11:14.400 to the university
00:11:15.700 style seminaries.
00:11:18.540 Right?
00:11:19.000 Now,
00:11:19.480 here's the issue.
00:11:21.060 They say one year
00:11:22.180 but it's never one year.
00:11:23.700 We have 12 imams.
00:11:25.360 All of them except one
00:11:26.580 have funeral days,
00:11:27.580 three days,
00:11:28.300 birthdays,
00:11:29.000 three days,
00:11:30.360 you know,
00:11:30.800 the holidays
00:11:31.780 of the revolution,
00:11:32.900 the victory,
00:11:33.560 this,
00:11:33.840 that,
00:11:34.100 this,
00:11:34.320 that.
00:11:34.900 You're looking at
00:11:35.480 a year and a half
00:11:36.100 to two years
00:11:36.820 here for learning Farsi
00:11:39.160 and they use that
00:11:40.580 to not just strengthen
00:11:42.220 your language
00:11:42.760 but for you to be accustomed
00:11:44.060 with this region,
00:11:45.940 this street.
00:11:46.920 Who were some
00:11:47.280 of your classmates?
00:11:48.200 Okay,
00:11:48.520 before we get there,
00:11:49.280 next door is the
00:11:50.500 Paigah of the Basij.
00:11:52.580 The Basij
00:11:53.120 which are the
00:11:54.200 youth corps
00:11:55.660 of the IRGC
00:11:56.660 is literally next door
00:11:57.540 to this building.
00:11:59.500 So,
00:11:59.900 my classmates
00:12:00.540 are
00:12:01.420 I'm going to say this
00:12:02.440 and I haven't said
00:12:02.960 this before.
00:12:04.320 The clerics
00:12:05.400 who are now
00:12:06.120 running
00:12:06.920 the Al-Quds march
00:12:08.500 which is the
00:12:09.920 pro-IRGC
00:12:11.060 Hezbollah march
00:12:11.960 on the last Friday
00:12:13.520 of Ramadan
00:12:14.020 every single year
00:12:15.080 running them
00:12:16.880 in New York
00:12:17.660 and in Toronto,
00:12:19.020 they were my classmates.
00:12:20.480 We studied together.
00:12:23.180 Did they get brainwashed?
00:12:24.760 Of course
00:12:25.200 because everything
00:12:26.020 they do,
00:12:26.600 look,
00:12:26.820 a cleric needs
00:12:27.440 to talk religion.
00:12:29.060 How do you know
00:12:29.580 a cleric respects himself
00:12:30.720 when he sticks
00:12:31.640 to what he is
00:12:32.740 meant to be doing?
00:12:35.200 Religion,
00:12:36.120 theology,
00:12:36.820 doctrine,
00:12:37.240 community service.
00:12:38.540 They're all
00:12:39.020 politicized.
00:12:40.680 Political clerics
00:12:41.620 of no value.
00:12:43.260 Their understanding
00:12:44.360 of religion
00:12:44.980 is very shallow,
00:12:46.380 very deep.
00:12:47.700 I mean,
00:12:48.240 it needs to be deep
00:12:49.760 but it's very shallow.
00:12:51.960 You know,
00:12:52.180 an atheist
00:12:52.700 can take them down
00:12:53.840 easily
00:12:54.760 with two questions
00:12:55.740 because they
00:12:56.860 haven't been taught
00:12:57.600 the proper
00:12:58.220 foundations
00:12:59.080 of theology
00:12:59.800 and doctrine
00:13:00.400 in Islam.
00:13:02.180 It's always been
00:13:03.040 Khomeini's biography,
00:13:05.140 Khamenei's biography.
00:13:06.600 When he was born,
00:13:07.540 he came out
00:13:08.020 of his mother's womb
00:13:08.860 and there was
00:13:09.600 a scream
00:13:10.140 in the heavens,
00:13:11.960 Ya Ali.
00:13:12.800 Have you heard that?
00:13:13.880 Okay,
00:13:14.280 so that's what
00:13:15.340 they're taught.
00:13:16.620 Everything revolves
00:13:17.780 around the character
00:13:18.500 of Khamenei
00:13:19.280 as the savior.
00:13:21.440 Did you ever meet him?
00:13:22.680 No,
00:13:22.920 I have not.
00:13:23.740 Here's the thing.
00:13:25.260 Meet face to face?
00:13:26.280 No.
00:13:26.900 But we were together
00:13:28.480 in a...
00:13:30.360 So when he came
00:13:31.280 to Qom,
00:13:32.260 he came to Qom
00:13:33.100 and we were chosen
00:13:35.340 by a cleric.
00:13:37.740 I'm going to mention
00:13:38.240 his name,
00:13:39.680 Sheikh Adman.
00:13:40.860 I won't mention
00:13:41.420 his first name
00:13:42.080 but he was the man
00:13:43.120 responsible for
00:13:43.960 the Australian students.
00:13:45.740 He came to me
00:13:46.680 and he said,
00:13:47.640 we're doing two things.
00:13:49.040 We are going
00:13:49.720 the week before
00:13:50.580 Khamenei comes to Qom
00:13:51.680 to Tehran
00:13:52.800 and I still have
00:13:53.520 the entrance ID
00:13:54.840 badge
00:13:56.200 that you wear
00:13:57.200 and you attend.
00:13:58.720 You're not sitting
00:13:59.420 in the front lines
00:14:00.100 because that's where
00:14:00.600 the IRGC officials sit.
00:14:02.040 You're sitting
00:14:02.480 towards the center
00:14:03.500 of his sermon.
00:14:06.800 I saw him
00:14:07.860 and again,
00:14:09.400 to be honest with you,
00:14:11.180 they prepare you
00:14:12.000 for a spiritual
00:14:13.300 event.
00:14:15.680 It's not like
00:14:16.380 the bus drops you off
00:14:17.700 and you enter
00:14:18.240 into a mosque
00:14:18.880 and then there he is.
00:14:19.740 No, no, no.
00:14:20.140 It's not tunnels
00:14:23.500 but it's alleys
00:14:25.500 that you walk through
00:14:26.420 that are prepared
00:14:28.160 with banners
00:14:29.580 and signs
00:14:30.420 and flags
00:14:31.080 and just symbolism,
00:14:33.380 revolutionary symbolism
00:14:34.420 and then you enter
00:14:35.740 and the gods everywhere,
00:14:37.200 the Sipah
00:14:37.680 and they're green
00:14:38.280 and sometimes blue
00:14:39.520 and then they usher you
00:14:41.400 and you're director
00:14:43.240 of the group.
00:14:44.660 On that day,
00:14:45.380 he changes
00:14:45.960 because his life
00:14:47.380 depends on this.
00:14:48.120 He becomes a different person.
00:14:49.680 He's not the guy
00:14:50.180 that is nice with you.
00:14:51.560 So he's very strict.
00:14:54.600 He takes you in.
00:14:56.100 We sit here
00:14:56.740 and then when you go in,
00:14:58.060 you see there's
00:14:58.740 an ocean of people.
00:15:00.540 You're not the only one.
00:15:01.920 Not the only group.
00:15:04.540 And before Khamenei comes,
00:15:05.820 you have his henchmen,
00:15:07.720 clerics,
00:15:08.260 who come up on the microphone,
00:15:09.760 who rally up the audience.
00:15:11.300 So by the time
00:15:12.620 Khamenei is coming out,
00:15:14.180 that's why people are
00:15:15.060 walking behind him
00:15:16.720 and kissing the place
00:15:18.000 where his feet touch
00:15:19.680 and, you know,
00:15:20.660 death to America,
00:15:21.660 death to Inglise,
00:15:23.000 death to Israel,
00:15:23.740 death to the hypocrites.
00:15:24.880 That's how it happens.
00:15:26.020 They build you up.
00:15:27.600 And I'll tell you this,
00:15:29.000 as deviant as Khamenei is
00:15:31.860 and as crooked
00:15:32.980 as his people are,
00:15:34.740 they are excellent speakers.
00:15:37.420 Khamenei is useless.
00:15:39.180 The only thing he's good for
00:15:40.940 is he's a really good speaker.
00:15:43.400 Khamenei can move a rock
00:15:44.860 when he speaks.
00:15:46.200 And I felt that.
00:15:47.780 This guy is a real criminal.
00:15:49.560 I'll tell you.
00:15:51.040 There's a lot of psychology involved.
00:15:53.140 You see where Khamenei sits?
00:15:55.240 That's a shipping container.
00:15:57.140 He sits in a shipping container.
00:15:59.180 So two shipping containers
00:16:00.520 that are stuck together
00:16:01.900 and they're welded together.
00:16:03.500 If you want to pull it up.
00:16:04.460 Pull this up?
00:16:04.760 Yeah, pull this up.
00:16:06.000 He's actually in a shipping container
00:16:07.380 and it's bulletproof.
00:16:09.180 Put shipping container.
00:16:13.460 Not Khamenei.
00:16:14.560 Khamenei.
00:16:15.420 That's the equivalent of Hitler.
00:16:17.840 Basic names, Rob.
00:16:19.020 How are you getting this wrong?
00:16:20.740 Shipping container.
00:16:23.220 Okay, hang on.
00:16:24.300 You see that third picture?
00:16:26.700 The third picture.
00:16:27.620 The third picture.
00:16:28.880 Yeah, that.
00:16:29.740 So that's a shipping container.
00:16:31.680 There's a curtain behind him.
00:16:33.220 Or you can just go back and say,
00:16:35.620 change the two words
00:16:37.040 to Friday sermon.
00:16:42.360 Yeah.
00:16:43.320 Okay.
00:16:43.880 See that?
00:16:44.780 The first picture, for example.
00:16:48.600 You see that?
00:16:49.640 That's a shipping container
00:16:50.620 that he's in.
00:16:52.560 Or for example,
00:16:53.620 change the last two words.
00:16:55.660 Put, oh sorry, sorry.
00:16:56.640 Leave them.
00:16:57.460 Add to them the word Qum.
00:16:58.880 Q-U-M.
00:16:59.980 Because he was in a shipping container
00:17:01.420 in Qum.
00:17:04.160 Of course, with pictures,
00:17:05.240 they won't show it.
00:17:05.920 But where he stands,
00:17:08.720 that third picture on top,
00:17:10.300 the one I pointed to earlier,
00:17:12.400 that one there,
00:17:15.720 for example,
00:17:17.160 behind him is two welded
00:17:18.840 shipping containers
00:17:19.660 that they put him in
00:17:20.700 and they're covered.
00:17:21.480 You know,
00:17:21.680 they're not going to have
00:17:22.340 DHL or anything on them.
00:17:24.380 They're covered up nicely.
00:17:26.660 And because,
00:17:27.640 number one,
00:17:28.040 it's security.
00:17:29.040 And no one can get to him
00:17:30.060 except for a guy called Waheed.
00:17:31.740 You want to pull up
00:17:32.460 the name Waheed?
00:17:33.360 Just next to Khamenei,
00:17:34.600 put Waheed.
00:17:37.400 How do you spell it?
00:17:38.820 W-A-H-I-D.
00:17:40.960 Sorry,
00:17:41.300 can I have some tissue, please?
00:17:42.320 Yeah, absolutely.
00:17:42.900 Sorry.
00:17:44.680 Sorry.
00:17:45.300 Thank you.
00:17:47.260 You want to go to images?
00:17:48.260 This guy?
00:17:53.660 Okay,
00:17:54.220 that guy.
00:17:55.060 That's his number one henchman.
00:17:57.200 He's the real ruler of Iran.
00:17:58.940 Not the president.
00:18:00.060 It's this guy.
00:18:01.780 To get,
00:18:02.640 he's the head of Khamenei's office,
00:18:04.500 Khamenei's affairs,
00:18:05.560 Waheed.
00:18:05.980 There should be a Wikipedia about him.
00:18:09.640 There is.
00:18:10.520 You just had it a minute ago.
00:18:11.840 There you go.
00:18:15.260 I thought you just had it, Rob.
00:18:19.220 What's that first one,
00:18:20.380 Faces of Crime?
00:18:24.160 Website.
00:18:30.780 They do have a description,
00:18:32.500 AI overview,
00:18:33.520 but the only Wikipedia
00:18:34.680 that shows up
00:18:35.600 seems to be
00:18:36.360 Office of the Supreme Leader of Iran.
00:18:38.060 He's a right-hand man
00:18:39.180 to Iran's
00:18:40.640 Ali Khamenei,
00:18:41.500 often known as
00:18:42.560 General Waheed.
00:18:44.480 Yeah,
00:18:44.740 he goes by one name,
00:18:45.940 Waheed,
00:18:46.460 in the whole country.
00:18:48.260 Okay,
00:18:49.400 so where were you going with this,
00:18:50.700 with who he is?
00:18:51.740 Rob,
00:18:52.180 can we turn on the AC a little bit?
00:18:53.400 Now it's a little bit hot.
00:18:54.920 Waheed is the guy
00:18:56.120 who decides
00:18:57.000 where Khamenei goes
00:18:58.160 and
00:18:59.420 we need to understand
00:19:01.620 the makeup of
00:19:02.560 Iran as a country
00:19:03.800 so we can understand
00:19:05.000 how we got to Hezbollah,
00:19:06.640 how we got to Hamas,
00:19:07.600 because Hamas is for sale.
00:19:08.800 Hamas was paid by Iran.
00:19:10.480 They're Sunni,
00:19:11.040 but the Shia paid for them.
00:19:12.480 In Iran,
00:19:15.860 I want to be fair
00:19:18.160 to you and to the listeners.
00:19:19.400 I want to take a step back.
00:19:21.040 Many people
00:19:21.740 say
00:19:23.000 the reason why
00:19:24.440 the Muslim world
00:19:25.360 is successful
00:19:26.380 and they mean the UAE
00:19:27.720 and Saudi Arabia,
00:19:30.040 they say
00:19:30.580 is because
00:19:31.220 they pushed Islam
00:19:32.140 to the side,
00:19:33.180 not because Islam
00:19:34.920 is good
00:19:36.700 in these countries.
00:19:37.560 That's what they say.
00:19:39.120 And of course,
00:19:39.600 that's not right.
00:19:42.400 In Iran,
00:19:44.180 we have a system
00:19:46.860 where the clerics
00:19:50.560 rule over
00:19:52.000 not only the government,
00:19:54.380 but also the hospitals,
00:19:56.600 the technology sector,
00:19:58.440 the education sector.
00:20:00.960 There is no sector in Iran
00:20:02.960 in the intelligence
00:20:04.020 that the clerics
00:20:05.300 are not ruling in.
00:20:06.800 So you cannot have
00:20:09.400 a fully functioning
00:20:11.280 vibrant society
00:20:13.320 when you don't have
00:20:14.060 experts on top.
00:20:16.480 The UAE,
00:20:17.040 what they did was
00:20:17.740 they respected religion.
00:20:19.080 Religion is sacred.
00:20:20.360 It cannot be
00:20:21.000 placed in
00:20:22.240 an intelligence department
00:20:23.620 or in a hospital.
00:20:26.220 So they bring experts
00:20:27.500 to these fields.
00:20:28.900 That is the difference,
00:20:30.060 my brother.
00:20:30.720 That's the difference.
00:20:32.240 Iran went down
00:20:33.380 down this path
00:20:36.940 of destruction
00:20:37.640 because it is run
00:20:39.160 by mullahs.
00:20:40.000 It's run by clerics.
00:20:40.920 It's not run by experts.
