Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Ladies and gentlemen, he has a jar of peanut butter, and he's not afraid to use it. Here comes Eric Mattexas. Hey, Albin. Yes, sir.

I have been threatening to tell our audience, for a long time, time when you know okay first of all it's christmas time and people say what can i do uh for gifts or whatever so i say to people please go to my pillow dot com use the code eric or go to my store.com use the code eric uh and there's all kinds of other stuff you can do but we keep threatening to say what some of the products are at my store.com because some of them are crazy like it's just great fun stuff and we've said uh when you go to my store.com there's But we haven't been specific. So I thought, well, let's just take a minute and go through a couple of the things that you can find.

Some of these are extremely practical and wonderful. And others are just wacky. Okay. So, for example, you can get the bionic grip wrench at my store.com. Use the code. Eric. It is, it replaces 13 wrench sizes. In other words, well, you'll see it, right?

But it's like it's one of these cool things. It's like a cool, too thing. They have bungee cords that you can get there. They have, if you want to stop bleeding, perhaps you're bleeding and you want to stop bleeding. They have something called bleed stop and bleed clot. And they also have it for horses and dogs in case you want to stop bleeding. And I'm in favor of stopping bleeding. You can get flags there if you're looking for flags.

But this is one of my favorites. It's called Advanced. tightening balm. What's that? So if you've got skin firming issues, you've got saggy skin, why not support my pillow,

why not support my store.com, support this program, use the code, Eric. These are all great products, right? There's, I mean, honestly, there's so many products. They have the My Speed Scraper Ice Scraper. Do we know what that does?

I would imagine that it gets the ice off faster than any other product out there. Okay. There's stuff. There's stuff for garden and patios. There's food and drink. There's, I mean, there's just like the products there. I mean, look, they have, first of all, we've got to highlight my coffee.

We drink my coffee. Yes, we do. And folks, we pay for it, right? We don't like, it's not shipped to us for free. We choose to get my coffee. Of course, use the code. Eric, but it is fantastic coffee. It's absolutely fantastic.

You want to buy your honey from, you want to support Mike Lindell and this program. Go to my store.com. Buy your honey there. Use the code. Eric, there's trail mix. There's tea.

There's marinera sauce. Who doesn't want marinera sauce for Christmas from my store? Mike Lindell, and, you know, we're sort of joking around, but I know that all his products are great products. Like, I know Mike, right? This is great. This is all great stuff. I found one here that I really like. This woman said that her pets actually inspired this product. It's called Wolf Perfect. And of course, Perfect. It has two R's in it. But what I like is, you know how they stay in advertising? It's not the steak. It's a sizzle. So she's got a great name, woof perfect so it deals with both cats and dogs and probably even canaries or something that might

do you just give us the name it removes the stain from your carpet or from your carpet yeah okay okay um there's something to if you're into dry rubs and who isn't no um michael clandell at my my store dot com carry something called bub and mother's dry rubs bob and mother have obviously combined a team effort.

ladies and gentlemen, join the club. What is the wacker spoon? Evidently, it says it tenderizes meat, flattens chicken, make chicken pyeard. You can pulverize peppercorns, release flavor from spices and herbs,

crush garlic, release pulp from its skin, mashed potatoes, legumes. Evidently, the whackerspoon is kind of a big deal in the cooking world.

I've talked about it and talked about it. Now you're going to hear it. I did read Yankee Doodle Mugsy around July 4th, but this is the one that started at all. This is the Scrooge character. This is the guy, the Bachelor Bulldog Plutocrat, W.C. Fields, grumpy character who has the little kids come into his life and turn them upside down. It's written in verse, so you've got to listen carefully. If you've got the book, you've got to turn the pages. Save this.

you know, play it at another time when you have kids around with the book. I'm so excited. Mugsy and the terrible twins of Christmas by Eric Metaxus and Tim Raglan. Mugsy was a happy bachelor.

Never married in his life. Always did just what he wanted, had no children, had no wife. And neither did he have to work, nor had he very many cares. I catered to his every need That's me, you see, upon the stairs. And now I'll ask you to relax, as this are happy story weaves.

If you're in need of anything, please call for me. My name is Peaves. Oh, wifeless, childless Uncle Mugsy, singleness and freedom yours. Children never mar your quiet. No wife is wakened by your snores. And you never have to go outdoors. Oh, how you love your life, e'er Mugsy, how you've clung to bachelorhood, ever doing as you wanted, never doing as you should,

and wouldn't change it if you could. And how he loves to dress his best for a romantic tete-a-tete with the woman whom I call Miss Dogmont and whom he knows as Marguerite. But lo, the day before Christmas Eve, a missive came by Currie. It spoke of children soon arriving. His sister's twins won him, one her. From out his lips there crept a gur. Gadzooks, said he of further shock, their train is due at one o'clock,

which left no time to finish breakfast or to inquire about his stocks, and as he dressed himself that day, it left no time to match his socks. And there they waited, he and she. identically uninvited. Their Merry Christmas, Uncle Deer, went entirely unrequited. Hear this, he said, my tiny guests. There'll be no celebration. Christmas is just another day for my rest and relaxation.

But then their ancient traveling bag, held by a single piece of tape, unleashed a sudden flood of marbles from which no Noah could escape. And down we went, both he and I, tearing our respective pants, as did the town council and the mayor and the ambassador of France.

He came to learn that the terrible price of the marble spill had been expressed to the last penny in three lawsuits and won doctor's bill. Thus, peeves, he said, Does fate repay us? My singular order is become twin chaos. Always knowing just what to do, he took the children to the zoo. And there, from his great wealth of learning, he brought out bits of animal lore,

excluding neither fish nor fowl nor the luncheon habits of the three tusked boar. But while he told them of the tiger's stripes, the children unnoticed went chasing about. spreading good tidings of Christmas cheer by letting the animals out. The dinner that night began quite well. How Mugsy loved my roasted duck, as did Miss Dogmont and Little Emily, and her brother whose name was Habercuk.

But the harmony was not to last. It was Mugsy himself who was to blame, for it was he that night who said it. My goodness, Habercuk, what a funny name. When the children were sent to bed, Mugsy could at last relax, with the lovely Miss Dogmont at his side and a warming fire at their backs. Margaret, my dear, he started to say, I treasure these moments with you.

Then a bump and a crash from the West Wing was heard, and he knew that their romance was through. And so to the library quickly they ran, and oh, what a scene that they found, The Julius Caesar was wearing a hat, and the Hermes was knocked to the ground. And the children were perched on a mountain of books atop Mugsy's favorite old chair. And he saw they were using his cherrywood pipes to blow bubbles of soap through the air. He saw they were holding an album filled with photographs from his youth.

Mugsy cringed, for he knew what was coming. Your name is Ambrose, they shouted, forsooth. Be gone, you twin-wraps, scallions, go! cried Mugsy. Now you sealed your doom. You'll stay put tomorrow, Christmas be hanged, both locked up all day in your room. With the children departed, Miss Dogmont now spoke. Don't you know that tonight's Christmas Eve? You're a selfish old cur with a heart made of stone.

And she sniffed twice and then took her leave. Wifeless, childless, uncle Mugsy, singleness and freedom yours. No children there to mar your quiet. No wife to waken with your snores. Oh, how you've loved your life, dear Mugsy, how you've clung to bachelorhood, ever doing as you've wanted, never doing as you should. Would you change it if you could? and as he sat there still and quiet,

his blank gaze drifted to a page of pictures from his childhood, of moments from a golden age. And there, under a Christmas tree, he saw a very happy child, which made two tears form in his eyes. But through the tears, old Mugsy smiled. When the twins awokely awokely, that Christmas morn, a silent coldness filled their room. Their Christmas hopes had all been dashed,

their dreams of joy replaced by gloom. But hark, from downstairs came the sound of a laugh that boomed, so the rafters shook. And helpless to contain themselves, the children went to have a look. And so to the top of the stairs they ran, and oh, what a scene that they found! Miss Dogmont and Mugsy were both wearing hats and presents were piled all around.

The town council had formed a Christmas quintet, and the mayor was singing a song. Here we come a caroling among the leaves so green. And whenever they came to the chorus, the ambassador of France sang along. Love and joy, come to you, and to you glad Christmas too. Come down, dear children, Mugsy cried. Come down my honored guests. It's Christmas Day. so join us in our gaiety and jests.

We do accept, they now replied, your gracious invitation. But what's to become, oh, uncle dear, of your rest and relaxation? Hear this well, he said, my guests, there'll be no relaxation. Christmas is not just any day, it's a day for celebration. And oh, what a grand celebration it was. happiest day of his life for miss dogmont that day would become an aunt just after she became Mugsy's wife and so our happy stories told we now shall take our leaves if you're in need of anything remember me my name is peeves 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 relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain

from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three-week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more. On one of them, go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer. Feel the difference. As hard as it may be for us to comprehend here in America, there are people in other parts of the world whose very lives are being threatened simply for believing in Jesus. In fact, people are being enslaved for their faith. Some have been in bondage for 25 or 30 years. If you've been listening for any period of time, you know I'm passionate about the work of Christian Solidarity International, a ministry that sets these captives free.

Give someone the gift of their freedom for Christmas. Thank you.

Hey, folks, I'm talking to my friend Kevin McCullough. Some of you know him as Votesradamus. Hey, Votesradamus. You and I are gigantic fans of Christian Solidarity, International. CSI. We're doing a campaign on this program right now today, this month, to free slaves in the Southern Sudan Christians who are enslaved by radical Muslims who believe in slavery. They don't have biblical values. They believe in what the Quran says on slavery. And we have an opportunity. I almost can't believe how beautiful it is that we get with our money to actually, literally free slaves. What's your experience with CSI? Oh, too big to fill an hour for. But I will just say this, Eric, that every good impulse that you feel from what we're doing is magnified 10,000 times in the heart of that slave that is freed. And it's kind of an interesting, you know, the Chinese talk about the yin and yang and the push and pull of life and kind of the counterbalance of what everything is. And I'm not talking about that from a spiritual standpoint. I'm just saying there is, there seems to be an opposite pull. And, in different directions at times. And if you thought about what could possibly be the worst

life experience and moment for a human to go through, being a captive of war, being drudged off to another country on foot, being repetitively raped and sexually assaulted, being told you have to mutilate your own genitals or you cannot be a good woman in the culture that you're going to. You're forced to give up your Christian identity and take on and Islamic identity. You are called names that are so heinous that we can't repeat them on this airway because it would be a violation of FCC standards.

And yet that's what you are called for thousands of times a day, hundreds of times a month, many, many years in a row. And it just goes on and on. If you could think of a more desperate, sad, negative, horrible place to exist and to just continue to exist in with no reprieve, it would be as a slave in northern Sudan that had lost your right of independence

and self-determination from the Civil War. And there were 100,000 plus, about 185,000 of these slaves at the peak of the Sudanese conflict. Eventually, the world came in and separated the two countries and said, we're going to give the south to the Christians and the north the Arabs can have. but they they did not do anything about those that were enslaved.

And so Christian Solidarity International, many, many years ago, started working with a very kind of covert kind of underground railroad approach. They had key relationships with people that are called retrievers. They're Arabs that are from the north, but they want good relationships with the people of the South. And they would send them on covert missions into the north to try to find and locate individuals that were taken into slavery. Upon finding them, they negotiate their release, they return them to the border of the two Sudan's where they get to experience a recovery camp, they get medical attention,

they get counseling help, they get to heal and rest up and eat and do things that they haven't done in a long time. And then they are prepared for the rest of their journey back to their home, wherever it may be, by being given this thing called a bag of hope. And everything that's in that it's like four or five bags actually, but everything that they get is necessary for their new beginning in life. And when they have all of that and they're ready to leave, they get one other thing. They get a little she goat pulled out to them, a little rope on its little leash, and they get to take that shego with them. That helps them produce milk products, but it also helps them start a micro enterprise business. They can breed other goats and so forth. But when they

have all of that, which includes a year's worth of food, a year's worth of grain, the utensils they need to garden, cook, and eat with, the blankets and things they need to create a bed and a shelter and everything. Where they have all of that, then CSI helps them relocate to their original home and find as many of their original family members as they can and so forth. When they get to that point where they are reentering their village in their home and they are working with the churches that are in these villages, the celebration that is held, the joy, the excitement, the excitement, static joy that is generated is equal to the positive as the desperation of the sadness was to the negative in their slave existence. And so you kind of have this opposite effect, this kind of seesaw. You go to the worst place in life. But if you liberate this slave, they get to experience the best place they've ever known in their human existence. And it is when you say you can't really contain

the joy of what this program does, you can't. There is no human. way of describing the elation that it puts in that person's heart. I keep saying, you know, that this is an opportunity, ladies and gentlemen. It's an amazing, crazy opportunity that we get to do an unmitigated good, something so spectacular. You know, you think, where in life can I do something that's going to make a huge difference, just a monstrous difference. $250 will free a slave and get them set up in a life of freedom, just as Kevin's described. And some of you can give $250, some of you can give half that. Some of you can give many multiples of that. It doesn't matter what you give. But to not participate in this, I just want to say, listen, I got, I need to

raise money for a million things and projects that I'm working on and so on and so forth. Nothing can compare to this, folks. Nothing. And this is just in the Christmas season, the idea of doing this in the name of someone to your father or mother or grandparents saying, we freed a slave in your name. Get your kids involved in this. I'm going to give you the phone number, but you go to metaxis talk.com. The banner is right there, CSI.

You've just got to do this. Here's the phone number. 888-253-3522. 888-253-35-22. the Lord. Kevin, my friend, thank you. Thank you. Offers for free iPhones are usually too good to be true. Just like freedom itself, nothing is free.

Wade, lots of companies are coming out saying they'll pay for employee abortion travel and expenses.

Most of you've heard about some of these companies. You've decided to stop shopping or doing business there, but did you know that you most likely own stock in those companies through your 401Ks, IRAs, and other investment accounts? Folks, this is a huge problem, and we need to do something about this to send a message to Wall Street through our investments. You need to go to inspire advisors,

dot com slash Eric and get a free inspire impact report. This biblical investment analysis will educate you on what's really in your investment accounts like companies paying for abortion travel. You need to go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric to connect with an inspire advisors financial professional who can run your report and help remove companies paying for abortion travel today. Go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. That's inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. Advisory services are offered through InspireAdvisor.

LLC, a registered investment advisor with the SEC. Hey there, folks. Welcome back. As you know, one of our friends on the program is Robert Netsley. Robert Netsley is with InspireAdvisors.com, InspireAdvisors.com. And Robert, it looks like today you're down on Wall Street, but I know that's a fake background. But you all you had me going. We got to keep people guessing, man.

If they find out my real location, it's all over. I was going to say. Okay, so you recently had a meeting with a bank about a share, shareholder resolution. And, okay, let me explain to my audience in case they don't remember what InspireAdvisors.com is all about. You guys are trying to get people to invest their money in ways that don't undermine everything they believe in. And tons and tons and tons of us have a 401k or whatever it is that we've going on. And there's all kinds of stuff that we're invested in, which is completely evil, contrary to what we believe in, pro-abortion stuff, pro-pornography stuff. And you're trying to help people get their money out of those things. So let me say, folks, that's why I want you to go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric inspireadvisors.

But tell us about your recent meeting with the shareholder meeting with this bank person. Yeah. So it inspires faith-based, politically responsible managers. we constantly engage with the companies that we invest in and others to really speak biblical truth to corporate power. The left has been doing this for decades and is why they're largely winning that battle in corporate America. So we manage about $2 billion in growing rapidly, one of the fastest growing investment firms in the nation. Praise God. And so recently, we've been engaging with some shareholder resolutions with financial institutions,

specifically around the issue of debanking and this really troubling trend. of debanking and cancellation of conservative people and organizations from banking platforms, canceling accounts, closing accounts. Later today, I have a follow-up meeting with the General Counsel of M&T Bank. They employ 17,000 people. Their market cap is over $30 billion. It's a large bank. And we have a meeting with the very top people to discuss this resolution.

And it's because people like your listeners who invest with us have. brought this money together in one place that we can be your advocate to speak this truth and be that voice where we can have these sorts of meetings and get real action from some of the largest corporations in America. Well, it's an amazing thing again that the left is using their power to crush Christians and people with biblical values. Anybody with family values, you don't need to be a Christian. But if you believe in what most Americans have traditionally believed in,

there are people, there are elites using banking, using the financial world, using the corporate world in really horrible, horrible ways. You've got to be aware of this. And then we have to push back, which is one of the reasons that I get excited to talk to you, Robert Netsley, because when I heard what you are doing, I said, how do we tell the world? How do we get people to understand that you're participating in a wicked system, unless you get your money out of these places, we have no voice. We're going to have no voice. And so, again, the action point is, please go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. And you can get a free investment report, but to find out how your money is working against what we believe in, how you can get it out.

I mean, this is, unfortunately, this is crucial that we understand this. So please keep going, Robert. Right. I mean, the time for passivity is over. We can't just sit back and hope things get better. The hard truth is if you're sitting here listening to this right now and you have not taken a look at your portfolio, I can almost guarantee.

And guarantee is a word you can't really use in investment world very often. But I can almost guarantee you that you're invested in stuff that would make your stomach churn. And not only that, you probably have money in fun, secular fund companies like black rock, I shares, et cetera, who are actively using your money right now and your shareholder vote to advocate for things like the institutionalization of anti-family policies, pro-abortion policies, pushing against religious freedom, make it legal for corporations to fire people who have religiously held views, traditional viewpoints on sexual orientation and gender identity.
