Lara Logan Weighs in on the Terror in Israel

Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus 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. Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show. Did you ever see the movie The Blobs starring Steve McQueen? The Blood Curdling Prep of The Blob. Well, way back when Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his scene because the blob was supposed to eat him. But he kept spitting him. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest.

Eric Pataxon. Folks, welcome back. I want to remind you, we have shifted all over Salem media. We were doing a fundraiser for the Alliance Defending Freedom, who are total heroes. But they join us in asking you to give to what's going on in Israel right now. If you go to my website, metaxis talk.com, I should say my radio website, metaxis talk.com. You'll see a banner for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Please give there. Please give generously. Obviously, you know the situation is about as dire as it conceivably could be. You know that when I find the solution to a problem, I get very excited. If you've been listening to this program for a while, you know that I talk about people, of faith being active in their communities in how they spend their money, in how they vote, in every way. And one of the things that got me really excited when I discovered Robert Nestle, he's with Inspire Investing, he is helping people do something which I guess we can

talk about it is even better than just spending your money in good places and not spending your money in bad places. But where is your money invested? Is it invested in companies that share your values? Is your money invested in companies that are working against your values? And I would say against God's values. And so we bring him on now. Robert Nestle, welcome back. It's a pleasure to be here, Eric, as always. Thanks for having me. It's, I get excited at the time I talk to you just because there's a solution, you. know, because this is the kind of thing that I would, I would want to dream up. I would say, can't somebody figure out a way when we talk about all the money that's out there,

people of faith in America, what's that? No, I'm, it wasn't saying anything. Yeah, people, people of faith in America have a lot of money. It's not just they spend a lot of money, but they have a lot of money invested and retirement funds, whatever. And a lot of that, as I've learned in talking to you is with companies that are really bad, that are really woke, that are working against everything we believe in. So then the question is, how do I figure that out? How do I get my money out of those places? And you have come up with a solution, and I should tell people, I'll repeat it again and again,

inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. That's the website. inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. If people go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric, Robert Netsley, what will they find there? How have you solved this problem? Well, yeah, they'll find an offer that our staff is done for, I don't know, how many, countless of thousands of investors around the country, around the world, and we're making a special offer here for your listeners, is to just help you understand what you're

you own. It's the first step. And so my personal story, I was working at one of the big four Wall Street Investment Bank and in their investment department. And long story short, just realized one day, here I am president of our local pro-life pregnancy center, and I own three stocks of companies manufacturing abortion drugs. So every time the young lady goes across the street to plant parent who has an abortion, I just made money on that transaction, right? I literally profited from that transaction. And then you go down the laundry list of all sorts of other things that are going on the portfolio, LGBT activism, even trafficking, et cetera. And I'm investing in these businesses.

I'm profiting from these businesses. And likely so are you, right? And I'm not here to be your moral police. That's not my position. But what we want to do is help people understand what it is that they're putting their money into. It's not just a mutual fund ticker symbol with some dollars attached. There are real companies doing real things, some of which are incredibly evil and immoral.

And it would turn your stomach if you realized what the money is. that they're putting into your pocket and what you're helping to fund. And basically, so this report will show you exactly down at the nitty-gritty of on this date, this company, you gave this much money to plan parenthood, let's say, or what have you. And so that you can then be informed and then make informed decisions about how you want to invest your money, which we believe is God's money in a way that, you know, honors him, helps society thrive, stops undermining your, you know, deeply held values. The list goes on.

So that's, that's in a nutshell. what we do with inspire. And this is, I mean, this is God's mandate. It's this commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength. And the idea is that if you kind of act like, well, that doesn't matter. Everything matters. And it's only inertia, which is, you know, the devil owns inertia. When you don't do anything, the devil wins and his values win.

So here is an opportunity, folks, for you to take your money. out of these companies or to even know where your money is invested. What is your money, which you're responsible for? It's God's money. Who's it helping? What are you invested in? So if you go to inspireadvisors.com slash Eric, I'll say it again, inspireadvisors.com slash Eric, you can get a report.

You can learn. This is free. Obviously, Robert, this is free. Right. Yeah, complimentary, totally complimentary. We're passionate about spreading a movement. There are millions of Christians and others around the world who are moving their money by the billions of dollars out of the, you know, the woke investment firms that are doing everything they can to, you know, frankly, ruin our cherished ways of life, you know, in many ways. And just putting into investments that are, you know, just as equally wise and financially viable and everything else. else, they just happen to be in companies that are just doing their job. You know, if they're making shoes, they're making shoes, not sponsoring abortion legislation

or what have you. So, yeah, totally free. And, man, I want to stress the size of the movement, too. There is a movement of people. You're not alone. This is kind of ringing true. Like, oh, my gosh, I wonder what I should do. But by God's grace, we've been one of the fastest growing investment firms in the nation and

the top three fastest growing investment firms in the nation for the people. past number years. We're managing over $2.3 billion. And we're not the only firm out here, right? We have colleagues that are working laboring alongside. This is a movement. And you get to be a part of that. If you go to aspirebiter.com slash Eric,

figure out how easy it is to just be intentional instead of conforming, you know, to Wall Street's, you know, Wall Street's recommendations for your life, which, you know, might not be in your best interest. So please consider that. Ladies and gentlemen, look, this is game-changing. stuff. I want to be really clear. This is game-changing stuff. If everybody listening to this program would do this and you would take your money out of the funds that are doing evil things, it is a game changer in America because not only are you defunding these companies from doing

bad things, but you're giving companies an incentive to do the right thing. You're saying, you know what, we better be careful. We shouldn't give our money to plan parenthood or to whatever. evil things are doing because you know what there's going to be pushback we're going to lose people people aren't going to invest in us so i'm asking you to go to inspire advisers.com slash eric it is free folks it is free please do this resist the inertia inspire advisors dot com slash eric inspire advisors.com slash eric check it out technology is moving so fast it's hard for churches and nonprofits to keep up with the trends, especially when it comes to giving.

Good to see you, too.

You're a real encouragement to a lot of people because you are an actual journalist. People don't believe that there are such things anymore in America or in the West. You always were a journalist, but as most journalists have gone over to, I don't know, opinion or lunacy, you're actually a journalist. We can trust what you say. And of course, today we want to talk about the nightmare of what just happened in Israel. Very difficult for us to fathom. What is your perspective on what is happening? You know, Eric, the thing that disturbs me about this, so I have spent quite a bit of time in Israel.

I've spent time in Gaza, in the West Bank, you know, all over the Palestinian territories, but also all over the Israeli towns and cities. I was there for the war against Huss Bola and for the second Intifada, parts of the first and third Antifada. So it's not, you know, it's not, it's not unfamiliar to me. But there's something very unfamiliar about what is going on right now, that I don't think any of us covering that conflict have ever experienced. And it's got to do with so. We've seen the transformation of Hamas from an organization that would lob, you know,

randomly lob a few rockets here and there against the Israelis to a much more sophisticated operation. I mean, when you're talking about a barrage of 5,000 rockets that is designed to penetrate Israel's defenses. They know that the Iron Dome has its limits. They know that their, you know, their counter-missile defenses don't last forever. And so what they're calculating is that they can break through that by wearing it down. And that means they know something about the limits of those defenses. It also shows you coordination. You know, it's hard to overestimate. the degree to which coordination indicates real planning and sophistication in an operation.

Because that is a very difficult thing for just the average guerrilla force or the average insurgent force to achieve. You know, this really indicates when you have people going in by land and by air and by sea, as ridiculous as those air incursions were in the gliders and the mechanized gliders, you know, at the same time, it shows you that these are people who are capable, of coordinating all of that to great effect. Because when you combine that with the barrage of rockets, now the picture starts to look very, very different. And what you're seeing here is you saw a sustained attack

where Hamas was actually able to take control of Israeli territory and hold it for a significant period of time, something that the Hamas of old, it would have been unimaginable for them. It also shows that they had target packages, and they knew specifically what their targets were. And that in itself requires intelligence and forethought. And again, planning. So planning, coordination, training, having enough weapons to carry out.

Where you're going with this, Laura? I'm guessing that you're saying that Iran is behind helping them with it. I mean, from the first moment it happened, you could see the fingerprints of Iran, right? I didn't mean, some of the most sophisticated coordinated, coordinated attacks I ever witnessed unfolding were in Iraq, on the Iraqi battlefield where Iran had a hand in it. So we know that Iran has a hand in this. In fact, Hamas has come out and said that they did this in coordination with Iran. So that's not a secret. But what disturbs me is that the Persians have very long memories and they're very good at proxies.

but we've never seen them pick a fight of this scale with Israel. And they have stated repeatedly that their objective is to wipe Israel off the earth. And you now have an administration in power that can say they can kick and scream and they can say whatever they like. But they have followed a policy of open appeasment with Iran and with Hamas and with, I mean, you know, people conveniently. forget that Hamas is still legally and officially a terrorist organization. And this administration had people within the state department who were riding when they said they were going to unfreeze the aid and the, you know, that Donald Trump had frozen president Trump had frozen aid to Palestinians and they were going to unfreeze that. There were people even within this

administration who said, you know, a little bit of, a little bit worried that some of that aid is going to go to to fuel in Hamas. And, you know, the administration can, they can say whatever they like about, well, the $6 billion is in a bank account. It's frozen. It's not quite. We all know that that's nonsense, right? I mean, people are not that stupid. They can twist themselves and nuts trying to explain away their policies.

But the reality is right before us, that the world today, Iran is emboldened, Hamas is emboldened. And if you start to look at where do they have, so these are Shiite organizations. Right? Shiite Islam is the religion that Hamas, sorry, that Hezbollah and the Iranians follow. Where else do they have allies and proxies throughout the region? You know, they have them in Syria. They have them in Yemen. They have them all over the Middle East. And now these organizations are equipped and armed with much more sophisticated weapons. I mean, in the era of appeasement that really began under Obama,

that was halted under Trump because he came down like a stone, you know, wall and obliterated many of these policies. But what he wasn't able to do was to stop them completely. And so you're now seeing the aftermath, right? I mean, this isn't just the $6 billion from the Biden administration to the Iranians. This is all the billions of dollars that Obama gave them as well. The Iranians have been the number one state sponsor of terrorism for decades now, across the What does that mean to people?

Well, what it means is that they train people like Hamas. They finance people like Hezbollah. You know, they are directly involved in these terrorist attacks. And of course, you know, it's very frustrating when you see people say, well, you care about Israelis dying, but don't you care about Palestinians? Well, of course you do. That's ridiculous. I don't want to see Palestinian children, you know, his body's being pulled out of rubble any more than I want to see Israeli children. being murdered in the hundreds at a music concert.

You know, it's, these are, they give us false choices. You know, your choice is not between care about it, an Israeli child, don't care about a Palestinian child. Well, listen, I just want to cut you off and say that anyone with common sense understands this is nonsense. These are satanic lies, this idea that Hamas would launch this kind of attack, and then people are worried about the retaliation is so insane. It's so maddening. We realize that you're dealing with people that there's no common sense. There's no sanity. They're just crazy. They will say anything,

which to my mind betrays their animus against Israel. I mean, the idea that somebody would do something like this and that you would not immediately think, what can we do to defend them? How did this happen? And, you know, when you talk about Biden, and Obama, how is it possible to avoid the conclusion that Joe Biden made this happen? How is it possible to avoid the conclusion that Joe Biden made this happen by giving $6 billion to Iran, the policies that you mentioned? I don't know how, how does one get around that? Well, the only people who don't believe that are those who don't want to.

want to look at the reality of the Democratic parties in America's policy towards Israel. I mean, you know, if people remember, right, Obama's relationship with Netanyahu was very frosty, right? I mean, this is, this is something that because so many Jewish people in the United States are Democrats or vote Democrat, they have refused to acknowledge for years that the real threat to Israel today comes from the left and not from the right. right. And it is a threat that has been rising and rising. And you only have to look no further than the Democratic Socialists of America or the squad. You know, look at what Rashida Taleb has said about Israel in the past. Look at what Ilyan Omar and others have said about the Palestinian cause.

I mean, the mere fact that all of these people called for rallies, which they said, oh, we're not supporting Hamas. We're not supporting terrorism. And they tried to separate the rallies that took place. These rallies were a celebration of Israeli death. They were a celebration of the death of Israeli children and women and men from babies who were captured to the elderly, right? And right now there are still Israeli hostages. So I don't recall at any time, anywhere, when there is an operation by Israel,

anyone who's pro-Israeli rushing onto the streets to celebrate the death of Palestinians. Look, this is exactly the issue. And that's why people have to wake up and stop listening to the mainstream media. We're going to go to a break talking to Laura Logan. Folks, I need to remind you, we have shifted all over Salem media. We were doing a fundraiser for the Alliance Defending Freedom. they join us in asking you to give to what's going on in Israel right now. If you go to my website metaxis talk.com, I should say my radio website, metaxis talk.com.

You'll see a banner for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Please give there. Please give generously. Obviously, you know the situation is about as dire as it conceivably could be. 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 made, 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.

I'm talking to Laura Logan, an actual journalist. Very difficult to find in this day and age. Laura Logan, welcome back. Thank you so much. It's so disturbing discussing what happened in Israel. You mentioned some things early on. I think you're, you've been so, as a journalist, you're so involved in the details that you don't realize a lot of people maybe don't know these details. You mentioned a coordinated attack by Hamas.

that was really unprecedented. In other words, this was not lobbying a few missiles, but it was very coordinated to overwhelm the Iron Dome system. And also you said, you mentioned gliders. I hadn't heard about that. Oh, yeah, there's lots of pictures of it. I mean, when you're a journalist like me, you know, I see this happening in Israel,

and every instinct I have is to rush to that fire. Of course, I can't do that now. But so I've been following this from the very first moment. moment when it started, or at least when the news hit. And, you know, there was a concert in the desert that you may have heard about. But there were a lot of, it was a music concert. And there were a lot of younger Israelis and other foreigners, actually, who were attending. And it was not that far from the border with Gaza. Well, this is one of the main areas that was hit by Hamas terrorists who were in these mechanical gliders. And they came across the border.

There's footage of them now. People dancing and still enjoying the music. It was around 6.30 in the morning. So some people were sleeping. Some people stayed up all night. And these terrorists fly over with gliders. And what followed at that music festival was an, I mean, it was an unbelievable slaughter. According to the Israeli government, they removed 256 bodies from that site alone.

So that is young people that were out. in the desert. There's nowhere for them to hide. They're in an open area. And when there was actually one young man who described in his eyewitness account, he described he was an officer in the, or a soldier in the IDF, but he was off duty. And the moment he saw this happening, he said to his friend, say, we need to get out of here. And they, they managed to get out. They were stopped and surrounded. They were fired on repeatedly. They ended up running through fields to escape. But they heard that other people got stuck in a traffic jam trying to flee the concert and that it was a bloodbath, basically. And one of the young girls who was at the concert has been identified

through a tattoo on her leg as being one of the bodies in the back of a vehicle that Hamas drove through the streets. I believe it was in Gaza when they returned. And, you know, of course, people were, well, one young man in the video spits on the bodies. In other videos, they're beating and hitting the bodies in the back of the vehicle. It's hard to tell if these people are dead or not. They certainly look dead. But this young girl's mother said that her daughter was unconscious that she sent this video. And it was possibly just wishful thinking on the part of the mother because that's a pretty horrific scene to see your daughter half naked in the back of a vehicle in the hands of terrorists

and know that she's either you know, dead or very likely dead. But the scene at that concert in the desert, which seems to have been the primary target for those people who glided in now, you know, more information could come to light. They may have hit other targets,

but we know as well that a must terrorist landed on the top of buildings or they and they went into apartment buildings. So some of them came from the ground and some of them came from the top, you know. And so you remember, what it was like for the people in their homes. And I've seen a number of photographs where people have been murdered on their

couches, falling, you know, there's one man falling half off his couch, drowned in blood with terrorists on either side of him. So it's just people in their own homes. One of the videos actually that has become harder and harder to find is a bomb shelter. And you see these terrorists, you can hear them. They open the door to the bomb shelter. and people have already been killed, but they keep shooting. And this is just a sea of blood and bodies, tangled bodies all across the floor.

These are videos, you know, Hamas is putting out a lot of these videos. So you can see them on their sites. You can see them on Al-Arabir and others. But mostly I've captured them to make sure that they don't get censored. Because if you hide the reality of what is happening on the ground in Israel right now, then my sense from talking to people, even Jewish people that I know all over the world, they're like, ah, you know, I mean, you know, my family's fine or, you know, I spoke to this one, that one. And I'm not sure that people really understand that this is a very serious, what concerns me is that Hamas knew Israel would retaliate.

Iran knew that Israel would retaliate. All of their allies knew that it would come to this. And I find it very hard to believe that they didn't have a plan for that retaliation. So, I mean, I just have some concern. What I'm watching for over the next few days and weeks is what happens to Israel as they get sucked into that retaliation. Because that's my question. In other words, it seems clear to me that, well, first of all, we haven't said it. I mean, this is the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war.

So this has been planned for a very long. time. This is not, you know, this is not a small operation. And then the question is, what do we suppose the enemies of Israel are trying to achieve in this? And I want to say, before we go to the break, ladies and gentlemen, you must understand, this is satanic. This is not warfare, where you have, you know, men, young men fighting other men in uniform. This is like SS going into Poland and murdering civilians, murdering women. This is terrorism utterly terroristic. This has nothing to do with normal warfare.

We need to make that clear that these are the equivalent of SS troops, the worst of the Nazis, doing evil, evil things. We need to be very clear about that. We'll be right back talking to Laura Logan. With the overturn of Roe v. Wade, of companies are coming out saying they'll pay for employee abortion travel and expenses.

Folks, welcome back to Sierra from Texas show. I'm talking to Laura Logan about the horrors, the nightmare of what's just happened in Israel. And I was asking before the break, Laura, what do you suppose is the goal of the enemies of Israel? Clearly, you just said they knew that an attack this evil. I mean, there's no other word, utterly evil, evil, evil attack, sadistic, cruel, that is a lot. That is an attack. Israel would and should retaliate brutally. The question is, where do things go from there? Because we've not seen anything like this in a very, very long time. I mean, does this open the door to World War III? I don't know how it doesn't because it is just so unprecedented. Well, there's a number of things here. First of all, there's 100 to 200 Israeli hostages still being held by various factions of Hamas.

And so the Israeli hands may not be tied. I mean, obviously we've seen Israel has already retaliated, and they've gone to a state of war, and they have mobilized their reserve troops and so on and so on. But there's no question that by taking those hostages, Hamas knew they would make it difficult for Israel, because if they drop a bomb on their own people, that's going to be very. very hard to sell in Israel. At the same time, I don't have to suppose what their objectives are because they tell you over and over again what their objective is.

It's never changed. It is simply stated as the annihilation of Israel. They do not want the state of Israel to exist. What is different this time is that you can actually see that possibility. it's actually within view. And people may say, well, that's ridiculous. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who think that that's ridiculous. Maybe they think that Israel is so powerful that that's never going to happen,

or Israel has such powerful allies and so on. We're in a very different world right now. The world that we knew during the first, second and third in defaadas, where the United States was this staunch, you know, immovable ally of the state of Israel. I mean, I'm just not sure that that's still a reality. I know that Joe Biden came out and said, we stand with our ally Israel,

but already there are people in this country who are saying, well, why do we need, you know, Israel's just another foreign war? Why do we need to be involved in just another foreign war? Like, they're equating Ukraine and Israel. Now, to me, that's a fundamental misreading of history. you have actual Nazis in Ukraine. You want to talk about the SS? Okay.

Western Ukraine was the headquarters of the SS. You have actual Nazi battalions that fly the Nazi flag who have been getting, you know, billions of dollars in U.S. aid and support and weapons, support from all over the world, from NATO countries. Well, now you're going to ask all of those NATO countries to follow a completely different policy in defending Israel. Look at what the Biden administration, the lengths that this administration has gone to to appease Iran is really unimaginable. It's hard to avoid the conclusion, forgive me for interrupting Laura, but it's hard to avoid the conclusion that President Obama, President Biden, many on the left, are genuinely anti-Semitic, genuinely anti-Israel.

Everything that I see leads me to believe that. Then the question, of course, is why. When you talk about whether America would stand with Israel, we know that if Donald Trump were president, there would be no question. In fact, I think if he were president, this never would have happened because Iran wouldn't have gotten $6 billion and on and on and on. So, you know, the question is, what America are we talking about? But I...

Yeah, it's a very good question, because look at the rallies yesterday. Look at Chicago, look at Philadelphia, look at New York. I mean, you have people who are emboldened to go out onto the streets and celebrate the death of Israeli civilians and also applaud the actions of terrorists because they know that those in power. This administration can say what they like about standing with Israel, but those people know, right? They know that the money started flowing. They know that the Iranians have been really, they have prevailed over U.S. interests all over the world. I mean, remember when Qasem Soleimani was killed by Donald Trump, there were actually people that were criticizing the United States for taking out the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the Kurds Force,

who was the person orchestrating and spreading terrorist tactics and terror attacks all over the world, who had been responsible for the death of hundreds of American soldiers inside of Iraq. And you had leaders in the United States government and in Congress who were standing up and criticizing the president of the United States for taking that action. I mean, that's the United States they know they have at the United States. their back, right? The United States that when I came across a paper that was written about jihadis in Libya, and they were talking about how they needed to make a deal with the Obama administration because they had unprecedented support from the American side to form an Islamic government in Libya. This is not just about giving money to Iran. This is about sending a message

to Islamic terrorist groups all across the Middle East and beyond, right, that the Obama administration, that Biden administration, that these people do not really stand staunchly with Israel as they have in the past. They opened that door. And when they gave Afghanistan to Islamic terrorists in the Taliban, you know, you don't have to look very hard. I put some of this historic paperwork out on my Twitter feed, and people can go on Twitter and look at it.

The Islamic Emirates of the Taliban in Afghanistan have pledged their support to the cause of the Palestinians and to the annihilation of Israel for years now. The Biden administration knows it. The State Department knows it. And what did they do? They left $80 billion worth of hardware in the hands of those people. But what else did they give them?

They gave them the green light. They gave them their own states. They gave them intelligence assets. They gave them, you know what they gave them? They gave them the tarnishing of the ideal of freedom and justice. Do not go away, folks. Lots more. Desperado.

Why don't you come to your senses. You've been out riding fences. You never sleep right. Folks, welcome back. I'm talking to Robert Netsley right now. who is with Inspire investing. Robert, I can't help but get excited about what you've created an opportunity for people to find out if their money is funding wicked things.

If they have money in a 401k or retirement fund, whatever it is, that is invested in companies that are doing evil things, that is promoting pornography, promoting abortion, promoting any number of things or ideologies with your money, folks. So Robert Nestle has created something where you can get a free report that tells you where your money is and they will help you get your money into companies that are doing good things. So you have to go to InspireAdvisors.com slash Eric. InspireAdvisors.com slash Eric. You get a free report. But this is something I, you know, Robert, I guess it just gives me hope that it's possible to turn things around in America.

because when I think of how much money people have invested out there, if they would understand what's going on and shift that money to good stuff, it's just huge. It's just absolutely monstrous. It's enormous. It's enormous. And we are seeing fruit from that labor. It's remarkable.

It doesn't have to even be trillions of dollars to change things. I've been on the phone, you know, in recent weeks, you know, with investor relations and CFOs and whatnot. We regularly engage. with companies that we invest in or are like to invest in or kind of just speaking biblical truth, the corporate power. And, you know, one of the things we hear is often that, number one, these people have never heard, they tell us they've never heard from a faith-based investor before.

They've been doing their job for 20, 30 years, you know, executive major organizations, never heard from a faith-based investor. So number one, they need to hear our voice. Number two, they're thankful to hear it. Even in some of these sort of, you know, woke businesses, you think that this don't care, there are people in those businesses of influence that actually do care about what we have to say and oftentimes have enough influence to change things. So, for instance, Costco stopped giving money to gay pride parades.

Chevron stopped giving money to Planned Parenthood. There's a laundry list of other organizations that have changed things. That is unbelievable. Robert Nelson, that is unbelievable. It is so wonderful. I want to tell people, folks, what you do and don't do, you can change the world if you take an interest in this. When I hear that a company like Costco would stop giving money to something like that or Chevron, these are huge, huge companies. And you shop there, your money may be invested there. When we get

involved in these things, we can change the world. So I want to say the action point is go to invest, I'm sorry, inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. Inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. You'll get a free report that will help you figure this out. And I know, Robert, that you guys will, will help people if they want to transition to invest in companies that believe in their values. But this is a gigantic thing that we have, I mean, it's to me scandalous when we have power and we don't use that power. It's like when I say, I'm not going to vote. I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to do that. When you don't do those things, people who don't share your values who share opposite, who have opposite values, they're going to prevail. So I just want to say

to you, Robert, thank you for taking this on, because it is game changing. Like you said, it's a movement. The more people that do this, it's an amazing thing when we think of the money that is out there, that many people of faith with traditional values have invested in woke companies. Ladies and gentlemen, you've got to do something about it. You've just got to do something about it. This is like a mandate that we've got to live our faith out in every sphere and where your money is. That's a big deal. So please go to InspireAdvisors.com slash Eric. This is a free report. InspireAdvisors.com slash Eric. Robert Natsley, thank you. Pleasure. Thank you, Eric.
