Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show. We'll get you from point A to point B. But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own. But if you'll wait right here in just about two minutes, the bus to point C will be coming right by.
Starting point is 00:00:40 And now here's your... Ralph Cramden of the Airways, Eric Mott, Texas. Folks, welcome to Our 2. We continue our conversation with Dick Morris about breaking and other news. I'm still not going to get over it, Dick, as much as I just expected to talk to you about President Trump,
Starting point is 00:01:05 but the drama that Fox News has so done something so, dramatic, I'm being redundant, but so dramatic, I think most Fox Watchers will be shocked because it seems that Tucker in particular was the, you know, the major tent pole in the organization. Well, remember when Larry King left CNN, it died. I mean, it took a few months for it to die or a year or two. But basically, Roger Ailes once told me, he said, Larry King is the only thing holding CNN up.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And if he goes, the whole thing collapses. And then when he did go, it just fell apart. I don't remember why they fired him or did he just leave. I don't know. I think he just left. But I don't know. There was no sex scandal. So we probably didn't know it.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Right. But I think that. The thing that I find fascinating, though, over the last four months or five months is Donald Trump has gone from a pariah to a candidate in November of 22 after the midterm elections. Everybody said it was Trump's fault, bad candidates. You didn't say it. I didn't say it. Yeah. And all the good people didn't say it.
Starting point is 00:02:37 But some people said it. But I don't think you really want to put, you really want to put. want to portray him as a pariah. I mean, the people who always thought of him as a pariah suddenly had an opportunity to say he's a pariah and blame the midterms on him. Yeah, obviously, I'm for him. But that's totally changed now. The people who said, I like Trump's some of his issue positions and his accomplishments, but I can't stand him personally. Oh, he has too much baggage and why should we nominate him have just completely folded. and they moved into the tent with Trump.
Starting point is 00:03:14 He's gone from being ahead of DeSantis by three or four points to being ahead of him by 33 or 34 points. Now, what accounts for that? Because most people that I talk to who are not where I am, I mean, I am and have been unequivocally pro-Trump. But many people that I talk to who don't share that position, they're holding out hope for DeSantis. For some reason, they just believe
Starting point is 00:03:39 he's got to be the guy. What has happened in the last months that you say has made his star fade somewhat? Well, first let's talk about what's moved Trump's star up. Okay. Then we'll get to his fading. Which is the same thing. First of all, he's not making mistakes anymore. The last mistake Trump made was the Kanye West thing.
Starting point is 00:04:00 And that was five months ago. And you don't have him making mistakes saying quotes that put his foot in it, giving the media the chance to misinterpret what he's saying. I think secondly, he has changed the narrative about his comments on the 2020 election. Instead of saying it was stolen from me in Maricopa County and Fulton County, he's saying it was stolen from me when they discredited the laptop, and I couldn't bring it up and nobody could mention it.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And 50 top intel people said it was Russian disenfranchised. information. And had we known what was on that laptop and known that it was true, two weeks before the election, there is no way on earth that Joe Biden would have been elected, absolutely, obviously. And in addition, you can say that had Pfizer announced that it had its vaccine on November 1st, November 2nd, the day before Election Day, as opposed to November 9th, when they did, Trump also would have been elected. So his concept that it's been stolen from him is very true, but it's of a deeper sense than just some election fraud. It's the coalition of the FBI, the intel community, and the media, and the Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:05:19 that stole that election. And when Trump now says in his speeches, they were coming, they were going after me, but more importantly, they're going after you. I just happened to be in the way. Right. He's articulating a campaign theme that will last throughout 24. where the whole campaign will be a list of the ways in which the establishment is coming after you, and they're just going after Trump nominally. And it reaches into some very fundamental issues that the Google censorship, where they put the pro-Trump stuff at page six of the Google search engine,
Starting point is 00:05:58 or where fact-checkers come in with totally biased so-called fact checks that discredit conservative views, or any of the policies like forced investment in ESG, socially liberal causes, where your pension funds have to be invested in that, and fiduciary duties are suspended in that. I think that there are a whole series of steps that the left has taken to indicate that they're going after you, and Trump just happens to be in the way. the eclipse of female rights in favor of transgender rights.
Starting point is 00:06:37 The two great achievements of the last post-war century have been civil rights and feminism. And the Democratic Party is killing both of them, civil rights by segregating in favor of black people against whites and feminism by segregating in favor of trans as opposed to women. And those are fundamental changes in terms. Trump, in saying they're coming after you, I just happen to be in the way, is very wise, articulate and really embodies that. Also, it seems to me that the Trump haters over and over again have overreached. They've gone too far. I mean, the raid on Mara Lago is the classic example. You didn't think it could get worse than that until the brag nonsense.
Starting point is 00:07:28 And I think anybody that would be in the middle or would not be pro-Trump would be pushed toward Trump by the naked political character of this kind of nonsense. Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely obviously right. But it's no longer just I feel sorry for him. I feel threatened by what they're doing to him. Because if they can do it to him, imagine what they can do to me. and I think that's what most people are thinking about that. And when he hires 86,000 new IRS agents, what does that say about what he can do to you?
Starting point is 00:08:06 When he passes a new law, for example, that he's trying to do that says that you can't inherit property because the value of your home goes up when you die, and the errors have to pay the tax. If they can't, we'll foreclose. All these assaults on personal liberty culminated in that. but I promise you the other half, which is why DeSantis has gone down. I think there the answer is simple. He's a governor, and his experience is very, very limited. So when he gives a statement like Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a territorial dispute
Starting point is 00:08:42 and not a vital interest of the U.S., he doesn't understand what he's doing there. That's worth the division of Russian troops, and he's fomenting a division in the U.S. that will advance Russia's cause when he declares war on Walt Disney. People are saying, don't you have something better to do? Aren't there issues that are more important than that? I would say, no, there aren't. Yeah. Now, why would you say that?
Starting point is 00:09:11 Because Walt Disney, now the way he did it, you know, we have differences of opinion with my friend Jenna Ellis. But it seems that standing against these, you know, woke incursions into America, and culture is actually very important. So I believe Disney's a private business. People have the option of not going. Disney's stock has dropped. I think they just laid off 7,000 employees.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And they'll get the message. They're not like Murdoch with social acceptance. It's money. And their stockholders will make them do that. This cycle will work. You don't need government beating the hell out of a private company to adopt a different policy. Okay, so then what you're saying is in agreement with Jenna Ellis when she was on the program.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And she talked about this elsewhere, basically saying that that's not the role of government and that they shouldn't be doing that. Is this the 1030 or is this the 930?

We continue with Dick Morris. You can find him at Dick Morris.com. Dick, I know you have the president's ear.
Starting point is 00:12:33 the good news it's not Bill Clinton, it's Donald Trump. You're very sanguine about his prospects, as am I. And I think the more they try to attack him, the more they attack him, the greater his stock rises. It's an extraordinary thing. And you were just talking about that. The desperation of folks trying to get him, it almost becomes. comical in a way. Well, I think that there are two levels of desperation.
Starting point is 00:13:09 The one is to get Trump. The other is to pass everything while they still can. You had my friend Mike Wilkerson on, and he was talking about digital currency which they're now racing to implement in the U.S. There's a trial and experimental pilot program at the New York Fed. And the idea is he no longer will have money. You'll just have a digital token that on a computer at the Federal Reserve Board
Starting point is 00:13:39 will tell people exactly how much money you have and how much you spend. It's like a debit card. And if you go in to buy Colgate toothpaste, there's an entry in your card that you bought a tube of Colgate toothpaste. And every single purchase you make will be visual. And into privacy, an end to protection. I mean, that's putting it really, really, really much. mildly. This is out of the pit of hell. This is the end of America. This is, I mean, this is as
Starting point is 00:14:07 invasive. You might as well just move straight to China. Yeah. And in fact, China uses digital currency as the basis of their social acceptance score that determines how you live in China. And, you know, we know about banks already in the U.S. that is saying we won't extend credit to conservative organizations. In some cases, we won't permit them to have checking accounts. And you can just see that this would proliferate into that. You combine that with the ESG investment initiative, which is to say, forget money the government takes in taxes. Take the money that has survived taxes that you're holding for your retirement, you're holding for your personal use. You have to invest this in ESG causes, environmental, social, and governance. Because it, left-wing causes.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And we're going to police you to make sure you do. And you may not get to. tax advantages if you don't, you're violating the new concept of fiduciary duty, which is not to help you make money, but to invest in social causes so that you eat dog food when you retire, but at least the climate change is a verdict. And this offensive, and then take the gender aspect of the offensive, that there are really, that the rights of women are subordinate to those of transgender men. It's another way of what's been happening historically for thousands of years, which is the rights of women are being trampled upon by men. But now they're men who've undergone surgery and hormone therapy to have the right to trample women.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And now they're trampling it with government support. Civil Rights Act Title IX, notwithstanding. All of these things are happening in a rush right now. And it coincides with the end of the Biden term because they don't think they're going to keep power. They have got to get this stuff in before it's too late. And I think that people sense that. They sense that they're coming after them with a sense of urgency that is only underscored by the example of Trump being arrested. Do you think that we're going to get any action on the extraordinary decades-long corruption of Joe Biden. There seemed to be some movement.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Do you think there's going to, anything will come out of this? I don't think the government and the Justice Department will prosecute anybody because Biden appointed them. But I do believe that all of this is going to come out. And we are going to be challenged intellectually to understand where corruption ends and treason begins. It's one thing if I take a bribe of a thousand dollars from a contractor to get him a sewer contract in New York. It's quite another one I take a bribe of a million dollars or more from America's biggest world enemy. And then I adopt a series of policies as president
Starting point is 00:17:11 that enhance Chinese power and diminish American power. And at some point, it stops being corruption and it starts being treason. seems clearly to be treasonous. There's very little question, at least in my mind, that this is treasonous, and that's almost a nice word for it. It's a quaint word
Starting point is 00:17:33 for it because it is... Well, what I mean is the meaning of that word to really understand what that means. We throw it around. It means quite literally that in return for payment or ideological agreement, you
Starting point is 00:17:50 subordinate the interest your own country to another country, and you're in a position of sufficient power where that means something. And the other country is in a rival of the United States. And that's the definition of what I'm doing. I mean, I know what treason means. It just seems to have lost its power as a word. We throw it around.
Starting point is 00:18:13 It is very, very dark. The question is, you know, what happens if we discover somebody? has behaved in a, you know, in the past we would hang them. That's all we would do. We would hang them. Or death by firing squad. I mean, this is, this is extraordinary that somebody with the kind of power that Joe Biden has had, that he would use that power against those for whom he's supposed to use that. So far, all the focus has been on the half of the equation that Biden was bought off. And we're working on where the money came from, who was it paid to, whose pocket did it ultimately end up in, why did the Chinese do it and so on. We haven't looked at the other
Starting point is 00:19:02 half of the equation yet, which is what did they buy? When you're buying a sewer contractor, a patronage shop, it's obvious what you're buying. You get the contract, your boy gets on the board or is hired. But China hasn't gotten any quid pro quo. I can't point to any jobs or any contracts that they got, enrichment of Beijing? No. What they got is a relationship and influenced through that relationship that created a symbiosis between Washington and Beijing in which the interests of Beijing came to exceed those of the American people.
Starting point is 00:19:39 And I think that over the next year we have to elaborate how that happened and what it's led to. Well, when you put it that way, and of course that's all correct, It makes what Benedict Arnold did itself look quaint. It really is, it's extraordinary that we're talking about this, that this is serious, that this is real. But I think we don't, we treat it as corruption, and it's not, it's treason. Corruption has no anti-American bias.
Starting point is 00:20:13 It's just I want to get rich, and I'm pocketing money in return for favors. and there's a guy out there that's willing to pay me because he wants his brand of cornflakes to be number one. So it's the difference between Spiro Agnew and Alger Hiss, roughly speaking. Yes, yes. Thank you. That was very helpful. Honestly, I actually, Agnew with Nixon being the prosecutor of one and the perpetrator of the other. Wow, this is getting deep. Are you scoring at home, folks?
Starting point is 00:20:44 We need footnotes for this conversation. seriously, the idea that we're talking about a president of the United States behaving in a way that is treasonous, this is unprecedented. This is absolutely, this is a moment of existential crisis for the United States of America. Yes, it is. Even if the election hadn't been stolen. It certainly is. And what we need to do now is to understand what China got. We know now that they gave what to do.
Starting point is 00:21:14 what did they get? And what did they get? I mean, let's talk about it. Well, we're speculating, but I would put high on the list, the fact that nominally to appease the green movement, the entire American economy has been slowed down, and China's accelerated because they don't have any restrictions for global warming at all, and we have a ton of them.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Who is the architect of these satanic schemes? We know that bumbling Joe Biden is not it. He's a puppet for other people. Who is behind this? Well, I believe that you go back to Dinesh D'Souza's theory about the roots of Obama's rage, where he basically says that Obama sees the world, not in terms of U.S. versus the East or freedom versus communism. He sees it in terms of colonialism, that is the domination of three quarters of the world by one quarter. And anything that evens up those odds that lowers the power of the one quarter and raises the power of the other three quarters, in his view, is just wise and acceptable.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And that's really where you have to look for. So you believe that Obama and company are behind what's really happening? Oh, yes. Yes, absolutely. That's why Powell exists. A powers exist, Suzanne Powers. Susan Powers. So that Obama is the shadow president. and you know how football is this guy who is they keep putting in the game not to play but to bring signals in from the bench yeah
Starting point is 00:22:53 that's it that's uh we'll be right back final short segment with dick morris you can go to dick morris dot com tell me why relief factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain i'm often asked that question just the other night i was asked that question well the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal that's right designed to heal and I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients. And each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful

We have to conclude our time with Dick Morris, but maybe I can ask you, Dick, just a comment since I know you are close to President Trump. How's he doing and how is he holding up in the face of these just unrelenting, vicious, preposterous attacks legally and otherwise? Well, some politicians live through reflected praise, glory, their narcissists. Bill Clinton was a good example. He was promiscuous because he sought ratification in the mirror of each new woman that
Starting point is 00:25:55 he'd be with. And he was popular because the ultimate view of his, effectiveness as a human being was his poll numbers, because that's what a narcissist looks at, mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all. And I think that, but with Donald Trump, it's the exact opposite. He thrives not off adulation, but off criticism, not off success, but off adversity. In fact, he's a little bit like Churchill. The worst things get, the better he gets. And the more, the more valiant he becomes. And in his case, it's a, the vindication of a feeling of always having been attacked by the left unfairly, irresponsibly.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And I think that it fuels him. I think that the Trump that we've seen over the last couple months, or at least I've seen, seeing him a lot, is not a beleaguered, battered Trump. It's an empowered, vigorous, happy, a happy, Happy Warrior, if you will, like Al Smith was called. He said something, did you mean Al Smith? Yeah. I didn't think we were going to be referring to Al Smith on this program.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Folks, write that down. Al Smith, three-time governor, New York. FDR said he was the happy warrior. Yeah, yeah. That explains Donald's true. I always think of Reagan when I hear of Happy Warrior, but of course it's Al Smith. Got to ask you, with everything that's been happening with Trump, it's, it's just a dramatic time in America at this point.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Do you, the other day he was at a rally or someplace where he basically said, we've just got a year and a half left, folks, hang on. And then he mentioned General Flynn, who was just on this program about a week ago. In a sense, Trump now gets what he could never have gotten in 2016 or even 2017 and understands what he was. facing, which he didn't understand at the time, now he understands, and now he's ready to fight.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And his merely mentioning General Flynn, I would think that people would be trembling in their boots in the establishment. That's a brilliant point that he made in your echoing. The reason Flynn was fired was because the establishment in the deep state could not have the intelligence community controlled by someone who saw the truth as clearly as Flynn did and was just courageous in acting on it. They couldn't abide that, and they got rid of them. By the way, they got rid of everybody.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Jimmy Carter wanted to put Ted Sorensen in charge of the CIA, and the Senate rejected the nomination because they couldn't let somebody like that be in charge of an agency like that. Ted Zorison, famous author of Profiles and Courage. Now, I just... So the Kennedy's... What a key story? What?
Starting point is 00:28:57 I asked Sorensen, did you write profiles, encouraged, ghostwriting it for JFK. And he responded, ask not. That was funny. We're doing Kennedy humor now. That's where we're going. I just, you know, when we mentioned, we've mentioned Kennedy a few times. You mentioned RFK Jr., who's running on the Democrat side. It seems to me that JFK was on to the subject.
Starting point is 00:29:27 same forces that we are now again onto. He understood the wickedness, the power of the FBI, the weaponized FBI, and the CIA. And he was aiming to do something about it. And it seems to me that that is why they killed him, because he was that kind of a threat. Do you not fear that there would be an attempt on Donald Trump's life? I'm surprised there hasn't been. Well, I worked for Clinton. I worked for Trump. You got to trust the Secret Service. They do a hell of a job, and they're very efficient, very effective. So I don't want to speculate about that. I will tell you something about the Kennedy assassination, JFK. Robert Caro in his biographies of Johnson takes it right up to this point, but then leaves it off. Apparently, John Kennedy had to say,
Starting point is 00:30:23 decided to dump Lyndon Johnson from the ticket in 1964 and had told his secretary Evelyn Lincoln that he did. And the front page article on Life magazine, the week of the assassination, was to have been about Lyndon Johnson being indicted in the Billy Soleste scandal and in the Harrison Williams investigations, Senator from New Jersey. And those investigations were going to lead to an indictment of Johnson. And Kennedy was killed. right before he could act on that. Yes. But it seems like we're facing the same characters all over again,
Starting point is 00:31:04 that they've been operating and operating, but finally they've been flushed like birds. But finally we're getting the point, I think. I had a conversation once with Allard Lorenstein, who himself was assassinated, and he was Robert Kennedy's best friend and chief aide, really. and I asked him why he was so focused on the Kennedy assassination in his work, the 63 assassination. And he said, in effect, he didn't use these words because he didn't know them then.
Starting point is 00:31:33 But that this was the most overt crime of the deep state. And once you understood they could do this, he understood everything else about American history. We wanted to end on a positive note. We failed. Dick Morris, always a real joy in an honor to have you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Folks, welcome back.
Starting point is 00:32:21 If you are a listener to this program, if you watch us on Rumble, I hope you do, because I want you to see what I'm wearing. You know that whenever we can, we have on our friend Robert Netsley. Who is Robert Netsley, you ask? Well, since he's on right now, I can ask him to tell you. Robert Natsley, first of all, welcome. Hey, thank you for having me again, Eric. It's pleasure. for those in my audience who are in and out and don't remember or never heard you and who it is,
Starting point is 00:32:58 what it is that you do and whom you represent, just tell my audience the nutshell version, if you don't mind. Sure. So I'm the founder, CEO of a firm called Inspire Investing, where the world's largest faith-based provider of exchange traded funds. And we do something called biblically responsible investing. Essentially, we invest the hell out of your money. People are unaware generally that there's all sorts of little demons like abortion drug manufacturers, LGBT activism, pornography companies, etc.
Starting point is 00:33:25 running around in most 401K options, mutual funds. And so we have the technology and expertise to illuminate that and help people invest in companies that are not making the world a terrible place to live and undermining your deeply held values and ways of life and help to inspire transformation by advocating with these companies to. respect biblical values and conservative values on behalf of our clients. I don't normally do this, but on my social media today on Twitter, I posted a link because I want to encourage people. This is hard, folks, because I understand that unless things get really, really, really, really, really bad, our tendency is to do nothing or to just kind of float along and not to take any kind of action. But I want to say that the reason that we have Robert Netsley on here
Starting point is 00:34:22 is because he has brought to my attention, what he just mentioned, that most of us have thousands and thousands of dollars, some people, millions of dollars, invested in things that are helping destroy America, helping to work against the values that you claim to believe in. It is not difficult to do something about that,
Starting point is 00:34:49 but it does take some effort. You have to actually know about it, and then you have to go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. So that's what I put on my Twitter feed, because I feel like, and I've said this, Robert, I've had you on this program before, people do not realize the power they have they're not using, and you have to use the power you have.
Starting point is 00:35:15 So the money that you have invested in various places, if you let it go, you can make some money off of things that are destroying America. So it's like eating like an ice cream while you're sitting on a branch on a tree that is being sawed off with every lick of the ice cream. You're going to die, but you know, you're just enjoying the ice cream. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:39 What is happening right now with a lot of us, we've got our money, whether it's a little bit or a lot, in these funds, and we're just unaware of it. So you, Robert, this is what you do. So the company that you run, of course, is inspire investors, but for the link, people need to go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. So that's the action point. But tell us about your affiliation.
Starting point is 00:36:07 You've been working with the Alliance Defending Freedom, Total Heroes. We've talked about them on this program many many times. but talk about one of the things you're involved in with them right now. Yeah, so we were contacted by Alliance of Fending Freedom a few years ago to start working together on shareholder activism. And so recently we've been partnering up on some shareholder proposals regarding this whole trend of debanking conservatives and people of faith. You know, you may have heard some people like Ambassador Brownback,
Starting point is 00:36:40 getting debanked by Chase and some other. high profile issues. Debanked. That's like a really ugly verb speaking as a word smith. It's just a grotesque term. But what does it mean? It sounds a little bit. It means it's really evil. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Well, yeah. It means that if you have a right. So if you're a conservative person or you have certain political viewpoints or hold certain faith-based values, this is a bank saying we don't like that. We're closing your accounts or severing relationships with you, canceling your loans, canceling your lines of credit, whatever else may be, as a business or as an individual, and you don't have access to the financial services.
Starting point is 00:37:19 You need to run a ministry, run a nonprofit, run your life. You know, your friend Mike Lindell, you know, has suffered from this sort of thing. I think it was it last year or year before. There's a long list that's growing. It's a troubling trend. It doesn't matter what your values are. I mean, whether you're conservative or liberal
Starting point is 00:37:38 or somewhere in between or on the, whatever, right? you should have access to a bank account in America, for heaven's sake. And so what we're doing with Alliance Depending Freedom is putting it to these banks, some large banks that are in our portfolios, we filed shareholder resolutions with several last fall. I'm going to highlight one in particular because it's been in the news, signature bank. So signature bank, if you've recently heard, had a massive implosion
Starting point is 00:38:02 and, you know, has been taken into receivership and the FDIC and this big problem, right? Well, last fall, we filed this resolution to force them to make transparent their so-called, you know, hate speech policies or, you know, anti-discrimination policies and making flying rabbit ears or anybody can't see me. Because oftentimes these are so vague that they're used by folks in these banks to just, well, hate speech means whatever I think it means. And so that means if you believe in marriage between a man and a woman only, then I might think that's hate speech. and cancel your accounts, right? So it's a problem. So we're forcing them to make these policies transparent, opening them up to public accountability and scrutiny
Starting point is 00:38:49 to make sure that they're not these vague statements that can be misinterpreted and twisted to hurt people, but instead are clear and actually do what they're supposed to do. And so Signature Bank in particular was not interested in having a resolution put on their ballot. they fought that. We, along with Alliance Defend Freedom, pushed back. They acquiesced and our shareholder resolution was then approved by regulators and the company to be put on the ballot.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And then they went out of business. So it's a little bit of a moot point. But the point is maybe they should have been paying more attention to their core business of running a good bank instead of... We're just at a time in this segment. I just want to tell my audience, folks, this is really. real. If you don't get involved, if you don't take your funds out of some of these places, I mean, the idea of debanking, this is wicked, this is right out of the book of Revelation, go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric.

Starting point is 00:40:03 Folks, welcome back.

You're doing something about this. What is happening is, it's right out of the book of Revelation. If you don't play ball with the Marxist Loonies, with the transgender activists, with the viewpoint diversity score, garbage, if you don't play that game,
Starting point is 00:40:56 people are being prohibited from having access to their banks, to their money. They are being targeted. If you have biblical values, you are being targeted or the big fish are being targeted. They're going to come for you soon enough. But you need to stand now. And so many of us are just kind of drifting along like, well, it'll happen to somebody else. and the reason I wrote a letter to the American churches, because that's everybody in Germany thought exactly that.
Starting point is 00:41:26 And so you can be guilty or you can step up and do something right now. And it's why I wanted to have you, Robert Nestle, back on the program, because you were just sharing with us on and off the air about the horror of this, that this is actually happening and how people, first of all, need to get their money out of funds and out of companies that are supporting values that are completely at war with what most of us believe in. So in order to do that, you can go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric, folks, please do it. It's free. But Robert, you're not making this up. And it doesn't seem like most people are aware of this, that this is
Starting point is 00:42:08 happening today. It's happening right now. Yeah. People are losing their access to financial services because of their political affiliations and their religious beliefs. in America, right? And like you said, well, it's just these high profile people. And it's just kind of an elitist, you know, game going on. Well, no, it really is going to trickle down if left unchecked to you and me and the people listening here. And we need to stand up and say, hey, this, like enough is enough. And money is power, right?
Starting point is 00:42:43 Money is power. The money you have is giving somebody power. So where are you putting your, your money. That matters. What funds are you putting your money in? What fund companies are you investing with? Are they standing for your values? Are they using your money, your power to advocate for your destruction and your family's destruction, instruction, instruction of America and everything you hold dear? You've got to think about this, right? So inspire investing. We manage about $2 billion right now. We're one of the fastest growing investment firms in the nation because we're

Starting point is 00:43:52 or hesitating and saying, I'll do it tomorrow, I'll do it another time. It's not them. I've got a lot of other stuff to worry about. And they pick us off one at a time.
