It's nummy.

I wub, vanilla. I wub, I wub, I wub, vanilla. Here comes Eric Metaxus. Folks, welcome back. This is hour two. We continue the conversation with General Flynn. General Flynn, you were just saying some big stuff. And we're going to have to let's assume victory. Now, again, we can't assume victory. But assuming victory as we war game this through here, let's say we get enough citizens to guard the vote. We're on to the tricks. We understand. that the Democrats now win elections by stealing elections. It is ugly. It's hard to face that in America we've come to this place, but if you don't face it, you're a fool. So we face it. We deal with it. We do what needs to be done. And assuming that Trump were to get into office, the idea would be, you were just saying this, we have to have major, utterly unprecedented in our lifetime.

government reform. We have seen the horror. It's like you buy a house and now you know the termites are eating this beam and this is happening and that's happening. We need to rip this stuff out. The deep state, as we now know because of what happened to you, has taken over the government that belongs to we the people. In order to get our government back in the most fundamental sense, how do we get rid of those forces in the deep state? There are at war with freedom. They're at war with we the people that are militarized politically against what Trump represents. Because it's not Trump.

It's what he represents. It is we the people. It is the founder's vision. They're at war with that. They're in bed with the globalist elites who don't give a tinker's damn about America on the on the founders vision so what would we need to do and how would we do it yeah they mean what they're at war with is our constitution i mean these people want to change the they want to get rid of our constitution so so i mean a couple of things

there there are people in government who just need to be told thank you for your service when you go when you go into your office tomorrow i want you to clean your desk and turn your badge in and go home and go find a job someplace else. Thank them, because there's a lot of secretaries. There's a lot of bureaucrats at the lower levels who are, they're just sort of following along and doing the thing. But there are entire departments that we need to be, in some cases, shut down, like Department of Education.

Goodbye. Goodbye to the Department of Education. Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is the one that created the Department of Education. It's a complete disaster. That would be one of the first place. I actually thought it was Richard Nixon who did that. You might be right.

But it was a naive time in American politics. That's one of those places you close the door on. The second thing is that all these things that I'm talking about are simultaneous. And these are not that difficult to do. The other couple of places are the federal component, so Washington, D.C. component of the Department of Justice. I know the complete makeup of that organization. It doesn't mean that we shut down the attorneys generals around the country,

but the way the structure inside of Washington, D.C., that particular, I mean, I'm going to tell you, there's some parts of that organization that just need to be shut down and go away. The Department of Defense, the Department of Defense, inside the Department of Defense, I mean, the numbers are staggering and I don't get into all the numbers, but the mission of the Department of Defense is to prepare for, fight, and win our nation's wars. And the key word there is win, not participate in these endless wars that these rhinos and these, you know, there's neoliberals and there's neocons, right? On both sides, they love these wars. And that's what Eisenhower warned about when he talked about the military industrial complex.

So those are three big departments, and there are some other components of departments. We also have agencies, activities, and commissions, as well as the intelligence community, right? Because I really haven't, when I talk about like the FBI as an example, the FBI is a component of the Department of Justice. It's a supportive organization. I mean, the FBI is another organization that could be completely shut down. It is not in our Constitution. We have 900,000 law enforcement professionals around this country. we have them in the, we still have them in the federal level.

I mean, Secret Service, the Marshal Service, but we have states and local and city police forces that do wonderful work, and they absolutely can't stand having the FBI show up and say, you know, we're the FBI and we're in charge. So the FBI is another component within the Department of Justice, particularly in Washington, D.C., that needs to be completely shut down.

I mean, that's a big thing. That's a big thing. Before you go on, I just want to say, ladies and gentlemen, that is a big thing. that would be hard to do, but I have been calling on Twitter for over a year, defund the FBI. Don't defund the FBI. They are a rogue organization. They're out of control.

They were in many ways bad news under Hoover, who was a power monger, unelected, but they did a lot of good work. A lot of the guys, you know, the main guys who were doing the work did good work. But we have seen what has become of the FBI, and we need to take radical action. The FBI, the FBI to be very, you know, to be simplistic. The FBI used to have really good cops. Now they become known as thugs, and that's not a good place to be. So those are a couple of bins within the federal government.

And I think that the other big piece is the intel community, right? The intel community, which I have a lot of knowledge of. And inside of the intel community, we have got to break this marble up, okay? this big marble up. And the main, what they used to call them, agates, right? The agates, the big, big agate marbles. The big one is the CIA. And the CIA is culturally, is so corrupt.

And intellectually, frankly, it's not that good. They have not been right about anything that we have been fighting in for probably the last 30 years. And in fact, many cases, they have caused some of these wars, these endless wars that we were involved in. And it really does go back to a guy like JFK, you know, who rose up. And JFK, I was listening to some videos of him this morning. And I'm thinking to myself, God, this man, this man would be a diehard Republican today, be a diehard conservative today, thinking what we now know the CIA has done. And this is principally the CIA, because there's other elements of our intel agencies that do fine work, but they're also, they've also grown

too big. So again, what we're going to have to, we're going to need, and frankly, it doesn't really require Congress to say, well, we're not going to give you this money or that money. No, the executive authority of the president of the United States with executive power given to granted to him or her by the Constitution of the United States of America gives the full authority for the president of the United States to make any decisions that they want about the executive branch of the United States government. So all these things that I'm talking about are all doable. What it's going to take is it's going to take,

it's going to take courage. It's going to take, you know what, I mean, it's going to take a bold group of people, like the founders were, early on in an administration, and you just start to say, again, you start to close the doors, you literally lock the doors,

and you tell people, thank you for your service. You have, we're going to give you a 30-day stipend or a 60-day stipend. I mean, we can do these things. But this is why we have final segment coming up with General Flynn right now right after the break. But I want to say, General Flynn, this is why they needed to take you out and they needed to take out Trump because they knew that it was game over.

You know where the bodies are buried. You know what needs to be done. They will not let this happen. They will do everything and anything. They will steal elections. They will lie. they have done these things. They will do these things worse because the level of desperation on their part,

they see when you say stuff like this, they know it is absolutely anything goes. They will do anything, including put a bullet in the head of anybody they don't like, as they did with JFK. We are in a war. It's ultimately a spiritual war, folks. We need to pray for this nation. Stand Strong. We'll be right back final segment with General Flynn.

The star is near beyond the moon. I know beyond a doubt. 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.

General Flynn, it's heartening to hear you talk because you understand what is at stake. And I want to reiterate that the reason they knew they had to take you out early on in the Trump administration, because they had to hobble the forces of we the people.

They knew that if you were going to be in there, that it was going to be bad. They knew that if Trump were able to do anything that he wanted to do, it was going to be bad for them. So they hobbled him and did everything they could do. We now know everything that they did. We now know everything that they did. We now see it's laid out what they did. It is dramatically treasonous behavior on the part of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and whoever else was involved. I don't believe Biden will finish out his term. I believe that behind the scenes, they're going to get rid of him based on the, I mean, the level of corruption that's being exposed right now. And I don't know if they're going to slip in Gavin Newsom or, you know, Beelzebub himself, if he's available.

What do you see going forward in terms of, you know, possibilities? Yeah. So I agree with what you just said about Biden not finishing out his term. I think that they're looking for all kinds of ways right now. And I do believe that they have a plan to basically have him and Kamala step down And, and, but there's a, there's an interesting thing in the Constitution about choosing a president. So if Kamala becomes the president for a day, then they can actually, it doesn't mean that the, that the Speaker of the House comes in. They can actually choose a person in the interim to be able to come in as a, as the vice president.

And then you, now you, now she steps down. So it's an interesting constitutional process. And people need to go and really dig into that part of our. for the transition of power in the event that a president, a sitting president, leaves, okay, for whatever reason, because, you know, for family reasons, right? So one of the things that I want to take it back to the beginning, Eric, of our conversation at the beginning, arrogance has exposed their evil. Arrogance has completely exposed their evil, but I want people to understand that evil is very powerful. So evil has a very powerful, you know, aroma, if you will. And that power comes from, it comes from position, it comes from wealth.

And it comes from a spiritual part of our existence that, and I'm not a preacher, but I'm just, I'm going to stand here and just tell you that what I feel. It comes from a part of our existence where we are apathetic or we're lazy or we just feel like, man, not somebody. else is going to do it, right? Well, that's why we are where we are, because we have always said, that's those politicians, you know, this is, you know, somebody else will do it, right? Somebody else will get off the couch. Somebody else will step off the, you know, step off the curb and get into the way of what's coming. You know, somebody else will do that. No, folks, you have to do it. We have to do it. If we're going to take this country back, we have to do everything that we can humanly do. And on a given day, on a given day, like today, I mean, I don't know if my priorities

are exactly aligned with what I should be doing, but I basically follow my heart. I follow a direction that I feel I need to follow. That's me. That's the way I prioritize my life. And I'm now asking every single American, you now have to figure out what your new purpose in life is, because whatever it was, it wasn't working. You rose, you know, you raised great families, you made some money, you live in a nice community, you go to a nice church. But folks, we are very near the end of our existence as a nation, as a constitutional republic if we don't take this thing back. And so that means that every single person in every single community around this country

has to decide what their destiny will be. Because the destiny that people choose, the destiny that people choose today will determine the outcome of this country in a very short period of, time, maybe a year, year and a half from now. And so if we don't get, if we don't gain, you know, so physically, right, physically here on earth, if we don't gain control of our government, we don't gain it back here in 2024, you know, then we're looking at a completely different, we're looking at a different set of circumstances that now, now, and the scenarios that we could potentially have are scenarios that are unimaginable to most, I can imagine them.

But they're unimaginable to most where you start looking at a country that basically, like an old cloth, it starts to fray and it starts to come apart. And that's possible if we allow ourselves to continue to go down the path that we're on. Oh, yes. No, it's not possible. It's going to happen. I mean, listen, you said it before. We've been so blessed in this country that we took our eyes off the ball. We did not realize there is evil at war with everything that we have.

and we thought, well, I don't need to do anything. We lost sight of the fact. Listen, if you think, I mean, World War II, people understood if I don't do my little part, if I don't make sure my blackout curtains are covered up, if I don't do my part, plant the victory garden. If I don't have it, we could lose, and the Nazis will take over and they will crush us. Evil will come to our shores, will destroy us, will harm us. We need to know what can happen. And I really think in our generation, we've lost sight.

We thought everything will always be okay. And we need to be aware that there are forces of evil that are extremely real. And as you just said, if every single American doesn't understand his or her part in fighting in this war against globalist tyranny, we will lose everything. But you said it before also that we've seen all these bad things have happened to wake people up, to make us understand that. Well, I would say God allowed these things to happen. to wake up those who could be awakened, you know, to go to the barricades to stop sipping there, a coffee or tea and pretending that everything's going to be fine. Yeah, you know, I learned this a couple of years ago when somebody came to me that was

really trying to help me. And, you know, they said, remember that God chose Israel. America chose God. So, and again, I probably have become more faith-based in my life. life than I ever have been prior, even though I always was a somebody who, you know, understood and I grew up in a, in a Catholic family, you know, that was always a practicing, Catholics in our family growing up as a, you know, was one of nine kids. But I, when I, when I heard that phrase about, about America chose God, and then what the

person then walked me through was very, very smart, biblically wise person, walked me through how we have forgotten that. And what that means is when you go back to the Declaration of Independence, right? The Declaration of Independence, really, where we talk about the laws of nature and of nature's God, right? We talk about the creator.

We talk about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have been given so much in our nation, particularly over the last 50 years. You speak of World War II. We were handed. My father was a veteran of World War II and Korea. My parents handed us on a silver platter a beautiful country and said, go work hard, be good to others, golden rule, you know, just be a good person. And work hard and you're going to do just fine.

Well, now we've been doing that and we have lost sight. We've lost sight of it. And I am not going to stand here and turn over to my kids or my grandkids that same silver platter that's so tarnished. It's so tarnished. It's got some dings in it. It's bent. And I'm looking at it and I'm saying, no way. I got to clean this thing out.

I got to fix this. I got to fix those indentations. I've got me. My generation is the is right now is the oldest generation in this country. If you look at that thirds, right? Like you have my grandchildren and then you have children and then you have me. Right? And I represent probably actually a large body of millions and millions of Americans.

who understand what it is that I'm talking about right now, but they don't know what to do. So what I'm asking them to do is to find a place in their own communities and get involved and start to challenge, start to challenge every single thing you see. Don't let people go, oh, well, this is going to be just fine. This politician is doing great. We love this.

Everybody loves their local person. Everybody loves their politician. Hey, don't become enamored by this. these people, only becoming enamored by one thing, and that is our faith and that's our faith in God. Becoming enamored by that, because when that happens, when that return comes, we're going to all a sudden go, holy crap, you know, this is for real. Because, folks, this is for real. We are in a real world situation, and we are at a moment of historic crisis, and the media and the people in the White House, people in the federal government, they're going to tell you, nothing to see here.

Don't worry about it. We'll take good care of you. Well, that's not what we want. You know, freedom requires sacrifice. It requires commitment. It requires a discipline and a perseverance that you have to have on a daily basis. Well, we are just so proud of you and the efforts you're making and the clarity with which you see what is happening because you've been through it. And you're one of the people, I believe, God has chosen to help carry the rest of us through this. General Flynn, thank you.

Now, Chris, that's how I have to start my day with talking to a general. That was wonderful to talk to General Flynn. Talk about somebody who gets it. I can't underscore enough. He probably gets it better than anybody. And they

will do anything to keep him or Trump and him from getting in there and doing what he just talked about. And I guess that's what gives me pause about DeSantis that I wonder, you know, I don't want to get into that right now, but it's just interesting how incredibly viciously they came after Trump and the first administration.

And now we can connect the dots. And people like, well, we want to move on. It's like, you want to move on? Like, wow. Yeah, I mean, yeah, most people get their news from Captain Crunch. Yes, I forgot about that. But, General Flynn is a real general. And, you know, in a lot of ways, not to be too cynical,

but you do see how it seems to be we are in a two-party system. Yeah. And Trump was not really part of that party. And you can see the Republicans who want to move on. Maybe it's a little bit safer, you know, less of a loose cannon, would be a better, you know, he's more manageable. Well, but that's what's – That's what scares me.

That's what scares me. So it's interesting. We'll see what happens, man. Okay. One of the things that General Flynn just said emphatically, which is what I say, any chance I can get, is that everybody has to do their part and everyone has to do, you know, everything. There's all kinds of stuff we can do. Never, ever, ever, ever spend a dime at Target again and tell all your friends and neighbors.

Never, ever, ever spend a dime with Disney again. Tell all your friends and neighbors. Never go to an L.A. Dodgers game again. Tell all your friends and neighbors. And it goes on from there. There are things we need to do. We need to make sure that we spend our money in places that are good, that care about American values.

That's why I say, folks, support our sponsor, Mike Lindell. Go to Mypill.com, use the code Eric. You can get all my books and all kinds of other stuff at MyStore.com. Use the code Eric at MyPillow.com. They have an insane sale on my slippers. It's insane. Use the code Eric. Where you spend your money, where you don't spend your money, very important.

Also, in our next segment, we're going to talk to our friends at inspireadvisors.com. I hope, really, that you will take this seriously. if you have not yet gone to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric, and I mean this very sincerely, your money in your 401K in all kinds of ways, is invested with evil companies that are doing evil things. You need to take your money out of those evil corporations. Well, people are kind of waking up to it now.

You can see, obviously, with the Bud Light thing, that people are like, hey, wait a second. We have choices here. Yeah. So you may have money invested in Anheiser-Busch, in Disney. In anything, you need to do, folks, you just need to do this. You need to do this. You need to go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. And in the next segment, I'll give you details on that. But I say this very seriously. This is a way. This is one significant way. If you take your money away from these companies, you're doing something very, very, very, very. very important. And even a couple of years ago, even a year ago, I wasn't even thinking about this. This is really important. I just wanted to say that. Now, so before we go to that, I just want to mention what you reminded me of earlier, Chris. On Friday? Yes. I'm getting on the Queen Mary 2. It is the last surviving transatlantic ocean liner on planet Earth. Amazing. It crosses the ocean.

in a way that there are none of these ships left. This is the last transatlantic ocean liner. Now, I remember you were, I feel like this came up a couple years ago. You were talking about trying to go then. That was our 25th wedding anniversary. And because of COVID and because of my schedule, we couldn't do it. So this was ostensibly like we want to do something big for our 25th wedding anniversary. And so it's going to be more like our 27th wedding anniversary.

But it's basically a big thing for us that we get to do this. So that's this. Friday we get on this ship and we sail across, I believe it's called the Atlantic Ocean. And we, you know, you land in Southampton, England. We're going to spend a few days in London. And then we're going to fly directly to Cephalonia. Do not pass go. Do not go to Athens.

Directly Cephalonia, which is where my dad is from and I have family there. And we're so excited. It's been a number of years since we've been there. And I may be putting stuff on Instagram. Very cool. You know, just to kind of let people know, hey, here's what the boat looks like. Here's the bowling alley in the bottom of the boat. But I don't know.

If you follow me on Instagram or if you're not signed up for my newsletter, I will post some of this stuff maybe on my newsletter at eric mataxis.com. Oh, I was just going to say, I hope you bring the slippers on the boat. So I would like to see that photo. You mean the my slippers? Exactly. I don't wear my slippers. I don't wear slippers. If I did wear slippers, I would wear my slippers, my slippers.

You have to go to my store.com or my pillow.com. use the code Eric. Have I mentioned that recently? But seriously, that's, yeah, no slippers are allowed on this boat. This is like old school. Right. It's very fancy. You get dressed up for dinner every night. Is there a jacket hour kind of a thing? You wear, you get dressed up for dinner every night. There are two black tie evenings on in that week. Yeah. So it's, you know, it's kind of, as I say, it's like old school. Yeah. I feel like someone might get murdered on the ship. It could happen. Is there a Parisian detective? Anything could happen. Yes. Ercule Poirot.

A Belgian, I should say. is going to be on the ship. Fantastic. And Agatha Christie will be on the ship. But it's just that kind of a thing. So it's kind of cool. All right, when we come back, folks, I want you to listen carefully to inspire investors, inspireadvisors.com slash Eric is the link.

But this is important. It's something everyone can do. It costs you literally nothing. That's the key. I'm asking you, please today, please do this. It costs nothing. Please do it. Coming up, here it is.

Hey there, folks. Welcome back. It is that time when we get to talk about something that, unfortunately, is perhaps more important than anything else when you step back and you think about what's going on in the world. Our money is the most power that we have. You can go to the voting booth and you can vote, and that's very important. But when you think about the money, where your money goes, where your money is invested. Most of us are a little bit clueless about that. And it turns out that that is probably the biggest problem we're facing with the woke lunacy taking over the culture.

So we have our friend CEO and founder of Inspire. Robert Netsley, welcome back. It's always a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me back. Listen, the more I learn about this, the more I'm kind of amazed that I didn't know about it, that if we wouldn't, most of us are asking the question, what is going on? What is happening to all these companies that they're not just leaning left. They're going like full on insane, satanic, transgender, pushing it on children. I mean, a level of craziness that most of us, I think rightly say,

where could this be coming from? And it sounds like all of this stuff, this ESG stuff, this diversity stuff, that it's coming from those gigantic entities. What are they even called these entities that control, you know, investment funds or what are they called? Well, they're called lots of things by lots of people. But, I mean, the technical term, I think, would be, you know, a shareholder proxy voting firm, like Glass Lewis and ISS, the names that nobody's ever heard about probably listening to this show unless you're in the financial industry. Shareholder proxy, what?

Voting firms. You know, there's these massive infrastructure that's like way deep in the bowels of Wall Street that process the millions upon hundreds of millions, probably these ballots that every shareholder gets to and has to vote on when they own a share of stock. But, you know, if you've got a 401K, you're not getting these in the mail. the investment managers that your 401k manager hires are getting these in the mail, but they're probably outsourcing it to these voting firms. So it's like a bazillion steps removed from the end shareholder.

But then guess who coals the power? There's only like a couple, three of these large firms that in effect vote every shareholder proxy that dictate the direction of corporate America. And what are the names of the big ones? BlackRock? Well, BlackRock is an investment manager that is highly influential with these firms. So they're a little bit of a different case. They, I'm sure, vote their own firm proxies as well. But ISS, Glass Lewis, those are two of the large ones. Broadridge. It's another large firm that this is kind of like finding out that, I mean, it's the equivalent of finding out that your government has been taken over by people that you didn't vote for.

And you think, well, wait a minute, I thought we had this process. and I thought I had a share and I'm a stakeholder and what I say goes. And you find out, no, actually, while you haven't been paying attention, your vote has been outsourced and your values are not just being undercut, but there are people actively working against your values. And folks, when I say your values, I mean the values of the American founders, of the Constitution, religious liberty, biblical values on every front, that this is our money, and we're talking, you know, millions and billions and hundreds of billions of dollars of our money is effectively

being controlled by people who somehow this has happened over time. And most of us are ignorant and we just kind of go on with their lives and we've got our 401ks. and we don't realize that this tremendous power that we have, this financial power we have, has been given into the hands of people working utterly against us, against the American family, against our kids. This is big news, Robert Netsley, of Inspire Advisors. This is big news for most people.

Right. Bad things grow in the dark, right? Bad things grow in the dark. And how darker can it get than just these huge organization operating in the shadows, really, nobody knows about it. Imagine a world where everybody in America gets a vote for president, let's say, except nobody actually gets a ballot in their own hands. It goes to somebody, you know, somebody else who you don't even get to pick who that goes to, oftentimes.

You pick a person to then pick a person who picks a person who gets to cast your ballot. How trustworthy would those elections be, you know? it'd be ridiculous. And so this is what's going on with your investment. So if you have, again, a 401k or you're in a pension, you're a hardworking American, you own shares in companies like probably Target and Walmart and Amazon and Netflix and all these companies. Did you hear that, folks? Did you hear that?

You probably own shares in these companies? Please keep going. You probably do. And, but you own them through. a fund company like Black Rock or maybe American funds or Fidelity or some other company that's in your 401k are at a fund. Now, those fund managers, either both those shares themselves or they outsource it to one of these proxy voting firms.

And the problem is they're all basically in cahoots with one another, deciding what to vote for and sitting in their ivory tower, deciding what kind of progressive politics to push on you through those companies that you own and really undermining your own value. So it's like you're voting against yourself. But the problem is that we don't even know that's happening, right? So we're bringing this to the light. It inspire investing. We're a faith-based investment firm.

We're the largest provider of faith-based ETFs in the world, managing about $2.1 billion, one of the fastest-growing investment firms in the nation, because millions of Christians and other conservatives with similar values are waking up to this idea, this reality, it's really stark reality that in their investment account lurks all sorts of nasty issues. and we don't want to be complicitate anymore, right? So we're going to kick out the bad actors. We're going to vote for the good ones and we're going to change the way corporations do business. Okay. So here we come to the punchline, folks. I hope that this wakes you up.

And I want to give you an action point. I want you to go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric, because you've got to fix this. Your money is being used against you. InspireAdvisors.com slash Eric. Eric.

We don't talk about it enough. But the money that you have in pension funds, 401Ks, whatever it is, is effectively being

controlled by people who are working against you and your values. A lot of us have money in funds. that invest in, oh, Target, Amazon, you name it, all kinds of companies that are working dramatically against everything you believe in. So it's time that we wake up, we understand the financial power that we have and pull our money out of these kinds of places, which is why I have as my guest, the founder and CEO of inspire on the program, Robert Netsley. Robert, we've talked about this before, but the power that we have financially is huge. But the reason things have gone to hell in a hand basket is because most of us

don't have a clue that we have this power. We kind of act like it's a separate thing. And I go and I vote, you know, every two years or something. But every single day, tons of our money is being used against us because of our investments. So before I let you talk, I want to tell people to go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric, where you can fix this. You can find out what's happening with your money. Inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. But Robert Nessly, when did you wake up to this and say, I want to solve this?

Because this is as big as it gets. Well, it was about 12 years ago when I was working at Wells Fargo investment services, and I just got, you know, kicked in the rear end by discovery that I, here I am president to our local pro-life pregnancy center, and I own three stocks of companies manufacturing abortion drugs. And the Holy Spirit just convicted me on this issue that here I am, you know, fighting to save the lives of these precious unborn, and yet I'm making money every time somebody has an abortion. And then you go down the laundry list of all these other issues, LGBT activism and human trafficking,

you know, et cetera, et cetera, launched us into what we're doing now. And, and, you know, by God's grace, millions upon millions of Christians and other conservatives with similar values are waking up to the fact, uncomfortable fact that in your investment account, you own and are profiting from things that would make your stomach churn. And not only that, but because of the fund companies that you have your money placed in, those fund companies get to vote for the issues of these companies promote things like we're seeing in the news with Target and other. others. That's your money at work, but it's at work against you. But it doesn't have to be that way. So that free report and that there's a way to fix it. It's very easy. Just got to be aware

and take some simple steps. And we're putting some free work and reports out for listeners here, InspiredVisers.com slash Eric, like you mentioned. So people are informed and aware of what they can do to fix this because if we don't fix it. If you just sit there blindly going along, like, then you can get it better. It's going to all get worse. And frankly, it's going to be your fault. for not doing anything. You know, we've got to do something about it and, you know, let God have the results. But we can't just sit here and do nothing because that's how we got here in the first place. We've all got to become activists.

We've all got to, I think a lot of us just thought, like, well, I'm just going to go along in my life. And, you know, I go to church on Sunday. And, well, folks, there are things you need to do. And if you don't do it, you're responsible for things going to hell in a handbasket. So I want to ask you, please, first of all, this is. is free. Okay. This is, this is free. Inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. Robert Netsley, thank you so much. Thank you.
