Ram. Sam. It's sam. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. There's not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

It's Tuesday 3rd December. Year of alert 2025. BBC Headlines Protests spread across Iran for third day after currency hits record low. This just came across the wire. Protests and strikes in Iran over inflation and currency devaluation has spread from the capital Tehran to several other cities on the third day of unrest. Protests began on Sunday after shopkeepers and Tehran's Grand Bazaar staged a strike when the Iranian rial hit a record low against the United States dollar on the open market. Since then, videos verified by BBC Persian have shown demonstrations in the city of Karaj, Hamadan, Kwasham, Mallard, Ishannafan, Kermisha Yazid. Basically across the country there's many more names they list. Police are also using tear gas in an attempt to disperse demonstrators. Now there was rumors out there they use live fire on the protesters. I don't think that's been verified yet, at least by the corporate media. The Iranian government said it recognizes the protests and would listen with patience even if is confronted with harsh voices. So this has gone on. Remember I think what we said back in July when we had the 12 day war, this just came up with Bibi the other day, this obsession now with the ballistic missile campaign. If you want to do regime change and to me, if you want to do regime change in Venezuela or if you want to do regime change in Persia, if you want to do regime change in Beijing, it has to come from the bottom up. And normally that comes with economic pressure when people, you know, I've had enough and are prepared to overthrow the government. Tiananmen Square back in 1989 was a perfect example of that, where it came from the bottom up. And if the United States government had not inserted themselves to back the Chinese Communist Party, you would have had overthrow of a regime, then I think you've seen it here in Tehran. For those of you in the audience old enough to remember, I certainly do, because my destroyer a year later was sent over to the Persian Gulf into the North Arabian Sea. When it started against the Shah and those protests started small, and then they started to build. And once they used live fire, they started firing on them. Remember that day, I think they killed 12 or 15 students and other protesters. It absolutely exploded. You're seeing the same pattern here in Tehran right now. This is economic pressure. The economy is absolutely tanked. And this is not with us really putting the pressure that we need to put on, which is the oil. They're still selling. Oil tankers are coming out of the Persian Gulf every day. They're selling oil to the Chinese Communist Party. I think that the oil they get from moolahs is 40 or 50% or even more of the entire energy consumption of the Chinese Communist Party. So here, and this is what the other day when Bibi's here, about another, you know, bombing campaign. The ballistic missiles. They're getting the ballistic missiles ready. You know, I call that shifting the goalpost. But just continue to put economic pressure on them and the mullahs are going to be, are going to be gone. They're going to, they're going to collapse. Here you're seeing this spreading throughout the country. And this is another example where you put the appropriate economic sanctions on these, on these dictators and these rulers. The people eventually rise up and you don't need American troops. You don't need American combat troops. President Trump spent Sunday and Monday huge opportunity cost for him, spending basically the entire day dealing with the situation in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle east with Bibi Netanyahu. The prime minister of Poland came out earlier today and said, oh, yeah, the Americans have agreed. Zelensky's telling people the Americans have agreed to actually put American troops on the line of contact. Now, the line of contact when these negotiations are talking about security guarantees would actually be the negotiated point of where kind of the demilitarized zone starts. It would be essentially where the Russian troops are on one side, the NATO or allied or Ukrainian troops on the other. And he's telling people the United States has agreed. Now we're hearing from people that's absolutely not true. It's another line, more spin. And this looks like some of the, I think the most anti Trump forces in the EU trying to force us into the corner in trying to make a decision. So in both situations, explosive results over the last couple hours. There was discussion about. Putin has said that Zelensky ordered I think a 10 or 15 drone hit onto one of his palaces. Zelensky saying that's a lie. Now there's evidence coming out on both sides. I think there's actually a leak of part of a conversation. So more about that as we continue. Also, Cash Patel in the FBI have arrested an ISIS affiliated individual in Texas. Can we go ahead and play that? I want to play that. I've got. Karen Siegman is going to join me from afa, alliance for Freedom, American alliance for Freedom, who's our co sponsor and one of the driving forces of this, of this event that we're going to have down in Texas on the 9th of January. Tickets. I talked to Glenn Story. He came on this morning. Tickets are going fast. So if you want to, if you want to attend, you have to, you have to go now. I know this is a little long. Let's go ahead and play it and I'll jump in. Go ahead and play it. Yep, right there. The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me and I appreciate it.

FBI has arrested a 21 year old Texas man, John Michael Garza Jr. Accused of trying to support ISIS with money and bomb materials. Garza allegedly attempted to provide bomb making components individuals he believed represented isis. FBI Director Kash Patel said the suspect also sent cryptocurrency believing it would fund terrorist activity as per the authorities. Garza shared ISIS propaganda online and openly expressed support for the group's ideology. The FBI says the investigation began after an undercover New York City Police Department employee spotted Garza's social media account. That account allegedly followed several pro ISIS pages and commented on extremist content. The Justice Department has charged Garza with providing material support to a terrorist organization. If convicted, Garza could face up to 20 years in federal prison. According to court documents, Garza identified himself as a 21 year old Mexican American living in Texas. In conversation spanning October through December, Garza allegedly shared official ISIS media releases. Prosecutors reportedly say that he sent small cryptocurrency payments believing the funds would support ISIS operations. The investigation culminated in a Dec. 22 meeting arranged by undercover law enforcement. During that meeting, Garza allegedly handed over bomb making materials to an undercover FBI agent. Investigators reportedly said that Garza explained how to mix the materials and offered a bomb making video. Law enforcement arrested Garza shortly after he left the meeting. As per the officials, FBI Director Kash Patel said the arrest shows law enforcement's commitment to stopping terrorism early. Patel warned that those who plot attacks on behalf of terrorist groups will be brought to justice.

Mr. President, the American people gave you a sweeping mandate in your victory in this election cycle and they demanded safety and security for our citizens. And your administration with your leadership has provided us with the resources that we need, which is a whole of government approach to go after criminals absolutely everywhere. Not just. Let me, let me, let me jump in. Okay, the stories, you know, Tehran now on fire. We got a whole block we're going to play on Somalia. What's happening Somalia. You've got the situation in Texas. We've got this event on the 9th of January. There are still tickets available. We're going to talk about the Islamification of Texas and how to stop it and how to stop it now. We're going to have Gert Wilders there. One of the great fire breathers from Europe that has been working on this for 20 years has warned people about this. This is why you're seeing this Islamification of France and England and Germany. It's here, it's prevalent, it's on the rise and it has to be stopped. We're going to take a short commercial break. Johnny Khan is going to take us out with American heart here on the eve of New Year's Eve. Last couple of days of 2025, folks have been on quite a roll. We return, we have Karen segment from afa.

The greatest innovator, liberator, cultivator, freedom knows. So I suggest you take a look inside. Cause I think you changed already. You went and lost your pride.

Let's see if we can help you with that. If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt? I might have a solution. Here's why. Now's the time to make a move. This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books. They clean up past due accounts. They sell or write off the debt to clear their books. That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in. That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage. And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage. They monitor lender trends and understand the year end pressure on creditors. They used that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf. Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans.

Okay. So many hotspots around the country seem to tie back to one common one common denomination. I'm going get Karen Sigman joins me from American Freedom Alliance. Karen, you're actually bringing over Geert Wilders, I guess early he's going to do. I think it's right before or right after going to do an event in la. Why would Gerd Wilders come all the way to Los Angeles to do an event for the American Freedom Alliance? Why do people in California have any interest in what he represents.
- [17:34]
D
Well, and thank you so much for having me on and for drawing such tremendous attention to this key, just absolutely fundamental issue. A major threat to the United States and the west generally. We bringing Geert Wilders over for an event in Los Angeles. He's been a longtime friend to the American Freedom Alliance. AFA has always had the threat of Islamization, Global Islam, local Islam, every facet of it. Its incursion, the violent aspect, the less violent aspect, all the means for this ideology to seek to undermine Judeo Christian values in the West. He's always been a friend. AFA awarded him our Heroes of Conscience Award many years ago. And in 2017, we had him again. And we were noticing that video clips from his talk in 2017 warning about the incursion of Islamic. Those clips from eight years ago were getting huge traction. And he's been on the rise politically. Not only has he been speaking out about Islamification in a way that makes us sit up and take note, but as one of the preeminent politicians in the Netherlands, his number one platform has been against the Islamification of the Netherlands. Simultaneous with trying to assert that it is perfectly acceptable for a country to support its own culture in the face of threats, so specifically the Dutch culture. But Judeo Christian Western civilization culture in the Netherlands and what we've seen throughout the Netherlands, throughout Western Europe, California, now Texas and across the country is a lack of confidence in. In our own culture, in our own civilization, in our Judeo Christian values. And when that happens, that opens the floodgates to incursions by various bad actors. We talk about the Red Green Alliance. I would include, as Frank Gaffney does, the blue, the globalists. If you don't have confidence in your own culture, in your own sense of what's right in your own political and social backbone, bad people really find a way to take over. So he's been fighting in the Netherlands, both of these fronts, against the Islamic incursion and for Dutch culture. We've seen the Netherlands fall in large part. We've seen the UK fall, we've seen France fall, Germany. Across the west, we're seeing city after city cancel their own holiday, their Christmas parties, their New Year's Eve parties. It's all for the same reason. Why are the people in LA interested? They understand the threat. And our people, the AFA community is voracious on the topic of freedom. And we really revere our warriors. We here in LA feel we're very much under attack all the time. We're behind The Iron Curtain, we're in the bluest of the blue. And we people who are warriors on our behalf, we just, we embrace them with such a fervor. So we have him coming out January 10th. And then when I told you this, Steve, you said that's great, have him in California, but where he's really needed is Texas. Because Texas, as you've been pointing out, has been the epicenter of a massive takeover. And I would also say that Mamdani's election in New York, having New York City fall to a Muslim, Democrat, socialist, Communist, was kind of the epitome of. It's the absolute intersection of the red, green axis of all of these threats that are coming together against us. When New York City fell, it was a huge wake up call. And now that they're going after Texas, we have to do everything we can to shore up Texas. So we're delighted to have him in the.
- [21:45]
A
You talk about these countries falling. I mean, the middle class and working class, I think get this. Even though there's suppression in the news. And to show you about the suppression, I think we're about to play a clip from cnn, which I believe is the first clip of CNN actually covering the news. Now, Scott Jennings and Abby Phillip and I think a guest threw down last night on Abby Phillips show about this situation in Minneapolis. But here's the thing. It is the elites of Western Europe that rolled over so quickly that showed the lack of confidence. The very people that garnered the wealth, the very people that have political control, what I call the Party of Davos are the ones that rolled over and wouldn't allow the Nigel Farage even to talk about or the Tommy Robinsons to get into the streets are the ones that sent Tommy Robinson back to jail so many times. And Tommy Robinson had that rally a couple of months ago. I don't know, it was at least a million people, say up to 2 or 3 million people took to the streets. So it is a call here. We're trying to pull together more working class and middle class because the elites you can see here in the United States, this is why they haven't wanted to address this ongoing corruption. So is your view that it's the elites that are folded and showing the lack of confidence in their civilization? I think mainly because they don't believe the religious underpinnings are the spiritual underpinnings of that civilization. They only believe the material part of it.
- [23:07]
D
Ma', am, that's absolutely right. We've been seeing the massive secularization effort which undermines all the main foundational, the foundation literally of our civilization. You knock those pillars out, literally the load bearing walls of our civilization. And most certainly it is the elites, it is global elites Party of Davos. It's across parties too, as you always know. It is the elites, they are working together. I don't think it's too strong to say that they really hate us. They hate the Judeo Christian values, they hate biblical values, they hate that there's any kind of spirituality that looks to something bigger than the secular for answers, for guidance, for support, for meaning and for purpose. They'd much rather replace all of that with themselves, with government. And of course we would toss in AI as a big aspect of that. So they, these entities are. Jamie Glassoff wrote a book, the title is brilliant, the book is brilliant too, but United in Hate. And they are in fact united in hate. This is the communists, it's the globalists, it's the Islamists. They are absolutely 100% United to take us down. And they do that by finding our greatest strengths, which are our values, Judeo Christian values, our looking to God, our families, our men, our women, our schools, our children, our identity, our cultural identity. And they've been doing the long march through the institution in various ways, under various guises, all too successfully. We have been weakened, we don't are. Yes, it's the elites, but they have done an all too effective hatchet job on our culture. The 1619 Project, just to throw that out as an example that we don't have pride in who we are at all. Instead we have shame. So it is the elites fomenting this hatred that allows these forces to come in. And yes, it's the same everywhere. It's the elites in Paris, in Berlin, in London, now in New York. And Geert Wilders, to his absolute credit, is one of a handful of politicians in Europe, in the west, who has been ferocious in fighting exactly this. And the price that he has paid is incredible. It's such an honor to have him come and talk to us about the fight that he has been undergoing. And they're the canary in the coal mine. And whatever we can do to alert people here to the dangers of and again, how to fight back. It's just such a key fight. And Texas is battleground right now.

I think it was 12 or 13 or 14, Roger Ailes was still there, Lou Dobbs at Fox, and they brought Gert in for the first time after he had the fatwa placed on him by the mullahs. And he had like a 20May came in an armored car up to Fox, a side entrance, not the main entrance, this is Fox on 6th Avenue and had an armored car and it had to be looked like a team of 10 or 15 SWAT people because they had actually taken out his life and I think at the time they had moved him to a military base in the Netherlands where he and his family were living basically in isolation because every time they tried to go out they were trying to assassinate him. Given that he was the first person that really stood up boldly, not just the Netherlands but really in Europe and said hey, this is coming everything that Gerdfelder said years ago and he's risen now to be essentially he should be the head of the Netherlands. But they always keep trying to jockey every time he wins an election they always jockey around him because the last thing they would want is an anti Islamist government actually in Europe that would break the EU's the whole pact with the EU. So they keep trying to thwart him or he would be the guy running the Netherlands. But he has fought this and stayed on message, I don't know for 10 or 15 years and everything that he has said was going to happen has happened. That's what we're bringing him to. That's we're going to, after you guys have him right before you have him in la, we're going to have him in Texas. And the reason is the situation in Texas is absolutely critical. Why don't we take, I tell you we're going to take a break. I want to play this first time that CNN is, is, is actually showing what's happening in Minnesota. We're actually going to put up tickets are flying out. In fact this morning we had Glenn Story on a ton of tickets so we want to make sure everybody in the war and posse that wants to attend is going to attend. We're also going to do some other things around the the eighth and the ninth in, in the greater Dallas Fort Worth area. Serendipity, Modern day Holy War takes us out here on the next to last day of an historic year 2025 during the war room. Short commercial break Back with American Freedom alliance head Karen Sigman in the War room.
- [28:32]
B
Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
- [28:37]
A
Okay, Karen Sigman is my guest. If we go, if we put up the poster and put the website up, go now it is, I think it's Friday 9th, January we're going to be in Texas. We'll be doing the show earlier in the day from there and we're going to give Gerdfielders will be there, I will be there. There'll be some other guests we will announce in the days, in weeks leading up to this, but make sure you get tickets are selling fast. Want everybody in the greater Dallas, Fort Worth area or anywhere you are in Texas to come and join us. We're doing this for you. We're bringing one of the top experts in the world to address what happened in his country, what happened in Europe when people didn't take the warning. And folks, it is turbocharged in Texas. I think we've got a pretty good track record here in the war room over the last five or six years of focusing on what's important and what is to come. And I'm telling people for the last, I don't know, six months or so, this is a very big deal and it must be nipped in the bud right now. Karen, any thoughts on that about these Gert welders the entire program are doing and why it's necessary to do it?
- [29:44]
D
Oh, it's absolutely crucial. As you've been pointing out, Texas is the battleground right now. And of course, if Texas were to fall, which we cannot let that happen, the whole United States falls, which is of course why it's the battleground. You go after the high, high ground, capture the flag and it's over. So we've absolutely got to save Texas. I was originally calling this Save Texas and Save the Nation. So we're bringing in Georg Wilder's. Steve, you're speaking. But another really important aspect of this is there's something like 18 groups out of Texas who are joining us in sponsoring this event because they all recognize the vulnerability of Texas and therefore the nation. So they are banding together and joining us in this event. I think it is something like 18 organizations. We have many hundreds of people already signed up. We just blasted past our first limit. So we're opening the room to still more people. People in Texas really understand the threat. And I also want to say January 10th, we are in Los Angeles, so if you're in LA, also come in and see Heard Wilders for slightly different reason. But he's going to be absolutely on point there as well. That's all of it. Both. Both ticket sites are available. On the AmericanFreedomAlliance.org website, you can find tickets to the Dallas event as well as the LA event. What he's talking about is so key. The warning is so key and he is such a warrior and we need to show him we understand the threat.
- [31:29]
A
He's coming over here to do This I will play a clip now. This is the first time I think CNN has actually covered the story weeks and weeks into this or actually months into this, they have not wanted to touch it. But then I want to follow with what your some of your elected representatives and how in their face you are. And you'll see the struggle we have in front of us and it is huge. Let's go ahead and play it right now.

In Minnesota, federal law enforcement officials are surging into Minneapolis to investigate allegations of widespread fraud. The Department of Homeland Security sharing this video showing agents going door to door at businesses it says are suspected of abusing federal funds. All of this surge of law enforcement resources coming after this viral video created by MAGA YouTuber Nick Shirley, shared widely by Trump administration officials. In the video, Shirley visits businesses connected to Minneapolis's Somali immigrant community, businesses that he alleges are abusing or stealing taxpayer dollars. The video, however, contains little evidence to back up those claims. And Shirley has previously created and shared anti immigrant and anti Muslim videos. That context is important. What are the facts of the story?
- [32:47]
E
Well, the facts are this. There have been cases of fraud that have plagued Minnesota for many years. You hear this behind me, Jim. This is the latest fact here on the ground that YouTuber Nick Shirley is back here at the daycare center. He's coming over where we're going to get to you in a minute. We already spoke with Mr. Shirley. That is the YouTuber who has kicked off this enormous firestorm. It is Nick Shirley's video that has caught the attention of elon Musk of J.D. vance, of attorney General Pam Bondi, Cash Patel responding, as you said, the Department of Homeland Security now saying that they're launching investigations. A source telling CNN's Holmes Live brand that it was Shirley's video that prompted that. Basically what Shirley's video does is he's going door to door at these different daycares and you know, opening, you know, attempting to open the door, attempting to talk to people. And his accusation as that he was up, you know, showing cases of fraud. Again, as we said, the facts here are that fraud cases have plagued Minnesota for many years. As far back as 2015, there have been cases of fraud involving daycares. Within the last several years that have been at least 80 indictments involving different types of fraud. Many people who are defendants in those cases are concentrated in the Somali American community here in Minneapolis. It is a problem that has plagued Governor Walls for years. CNN wrote about this in October of 2024 and we've been covering it Extensively. He Here is more from House Speaker Lisa Daymouth. She shared her thoughts with us because she was it is her perspective that the responsibility for, for, you know, stopping this fraud really falls on Governor Walsh. She says he did not do enough to hold leaders here accountable. She is a Republican. She is running for governor. But again, she says that she's been trying to take measures in the state legislature to stop this flow of fraud for years. Here's more from House Speaker Lisa Davos.
- [34:46]
D
Are state dollars, but a lot of these programs have federal dollars in them too. So we have had a lot of assistance from the US Attorney's office where they have been noting almost $9 billion of fraud across multiple programs, not just child care, but non emergency medical transport, autism services, adult daycare, that we have been getting that attention a little bit more from the feds now and it is needed. The question begs though, is why have the Democrats in Minnesota, because they've been the ones in charge, they've been in control of state government. Why have they ignored it for this long?
- [35:26]
E
Jim, just again, for context for what you're seeing right now again, Mr. Shirley and a man named David, who also appears in his video, are back here at one of the daycares he featured. As you can see, you know, people are confronting him. He's speaking with people. He's been here for about a half an hour or so. Back again at one of the scenes that he featured in his video. So that is the ground truth here. Back to you, Jim.
- [35:51]
C
Let me ask you just Whitney, there were prosecutions, right, with dozens of people who were charged, am I right, in previous investigations of this fraud?
- [36:01]
E
Exactly right. There were, there have been dozens and dozens of indictments for various types of fraud. I mean there, there's health care fraud. There were, there was Covid really fraud. There were other examples. There was a program called the Housing Stabilization Services that was rife with fraud there. The list of fraud cases here in Minnesota is, is so extensive that Even when the U.S. attorney for Minnesota announced their most recent indictments, they called it this ongoing fraud investigation. So it has been going on for quite some time. This is just the latest chapter in a story we have no, no indication is going to end anytime soon.
- [36:43]
A
Jim.
- [36:43]
C
And we should note that there are some hundred thousand residents of Somali descent in Minnesota. No one is alleging and has no evidence that a large number of that community are involved in the fraud.
- [36:56]
G
My name is Peggy Flanagan. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota and I'm really honored and humbled to be here with all of you today. I am incredibly clear that the Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota. I think about my friendship with Nimco. We've been friends for almost a 25 years. And when I think of being part of Minnesota and growing up here, the Somali community has always been a part of my Minnesota. So I want to just encourage the community to know that we're with you. We've got your back. I am here shopping today and just encourage other folks to show up, support our Somali businesses, support our immigrant neighbors. And I know that things are scary right now and just know that there are more people who are looking out for you. There are more people who are here to support you than you know. I will continue to stand with the Somali community, to be with you and to do all I can to return the friendship and community that the Somali community has, has shown me. Thank you so much.
- [38:10]
E
We stand with the Somali community every day. There are more than 8,000 Somali Americans who call greater Boston home. These are our neighbors. Doctors and nurses, teachers, first responders, Boston police officers. You cannot talk about any achievement that the city of Boston has had in safety, jobs and economic development, in education without talking about the Somali community that has lifted our city up. We are proud and we are grateful for our Somali community and for our Somali American neighbors. Boston and the country are clear that hate has no place in our society. We will use every attack to actually strengthen and expand the services available to empower and work alongside our community members who are already doing so much good in the world and setting an example for the rest of the country.

I love cnn. Nothing to see here. There's been dozens and dozens. Nothing to see here. Except bad old Nick Shirley over there stirring it up, right? With no evidence. He's got no evidence, but he came to some sites. This is how they're going to run interference, right? The mainstream media, MSNBC and CNN has not covered this, although with dozens and dozens and dozens. In fact, first thing comes to mind when I think of CNN and their coverage of walls in the 2024 campaign and with Walls as vice president was all the investigations they were doing on all the massive fraud in every different aspect. Even she couldn't even name them on every time you have a social welfare program, the Somalians are in there stealing with both hands. Yet cnn, nothing to see here. Let's move along. We've already covered this. You see the. And by the way, this is why Jared Stepman and I really want to thank Citizen Kane over at Citizens Free Press. He linked to the Daily Signal, to this article that Jared Stepman wrote that was really, I thought, quite. He talked about the heart of this, that this is not a bug, this is a feature. When they bring these immigrant, these asylum communities in, they get them into the social welfare programs, why they want their votes. Okay, The Democrat, the lieutenant governor there in Hajib wouldn't be lieutenant governor if she didn't get the Somalian vote. So this is all they're doing. They're just, they're catering to, to these Somalian votes and they're going to run interference for them, full stop. This is why now you're finally seeing a surge of federal authorities, because a lot of this is federal dollars. Karen Siegman, you're everywhere we look. There's another problem. This is the reason that they go to the Supreme Court to fight the Trump administration from federalizing the National Guard to protect ICE agents to actually go in and do mass deportations. Ma', am.

You'Re absolutely right. It's every facet. And you know, you and I originally started talking about the Chinese Communist Party and the whole notion of unrestricted warfare, which is every means of fighting to win up to and including kinetic warfare. And I think we're seeing the exact same kind of playbook here with Islamic incursion and invasion, which is coming in. Yes, there's the violent jihad, the ISIS sympathizer being arrested earlier. But it takes many, many other kinds of various tactics that are being employed, including the fraud, including economic, including civilizational, including the voting. But in large part, it's also just generally bringing upon chaos, destabilization, undermining our very way of thinking of ourselves. Peter McElvena, who's a fellow of AFA, you've had Anan a number of times. The other various ways, imposing halal calls to prayer. There are many, many, many ways of bringing this kind of a social and ideology, a philosophy and a global jihadist tactic into undermining who we are. It doesn't only have to be violent. It's not only pipe bombs, it's civilizational. It's voting, it's fraudulent, it's undermining of taxpayers. It's every single aspect.

I want to thank also today another roller coaster on precious metals. Don't have a fear of missing out here. What you need to know is the details in back of why precious metals have been on a roll, the kind of geopolitical tensions and also the capital markets tensions. Why is the dollar getting hammered? Why are the BRICS nations and others moving away from the US Dollar and trying to do it now consistently? Why are they? What is the geopolitical reason and the financial reason why they're trying to move away from the dollar as the prime reserve currency? It's one of the most important issues of your life even if now you're just becoming familiar with it because the dollar is the backbone of the world's financial system. It is actually the currency that everything gets converted into to actually trade. We started the show talking about they've taken to the streets of Tehran and for many of you my age, remember when this happened in 1979, the Shah was gone about, I don't know, six months to a year later, the rial, their currency has fallen precipitously against the US Dollar because everything's pegged against the US Dollar. Find out whether BRICS nations are trying to destroy it. Go to birchgold.com, promo code Bannon End of the dollar empire. You've got it. Either you can get a hard copy of this document that we've worked on for the last four years with installments coming every so often that quite frankly has been a called shot. I think we took it on with Birch Gold when gold was about, I don't know, $1,000 an ounce, $1,100 an ounce. Now around 4400 I think today, of course, silver's been on a tear. Another whipsaw day on silver. This is not about the price, it's about the process that drives value. Why gold and silver have been a hedge.
