It's nummy.

I wub, vanilla. I wub, wub, I wop, vanilla. Here comes Eric Metaxus. Folks, welcome. I have the joy of speaking to Congressman Mike Collins. He's with George's 10th Congressional District. Congressman, welcome. Well, I appreciate you having me here.

Well, listen, I want to talk to you about the so-called impeachment inquiry or inquiry. I and many others, I'm sure many who listen to this program, don't really understand what. is going on. As far as I'm concerned, I think we have enough evidence to hang the current pseudo president. So just to put my cards on the table. So when I have people like Kevin McCarthy, the current speaker, you know, talking about how we're supposed to do this or whatever, I get a little scandalized because I think to myself, Joe Biden is a very bad man and has done some very, very bad things. What is the process? I sometimes feel that,

those on the Republican side are so process oriented that they forget how serious some of these things are. And they take it kind of slow. And it's like, what is happening? Explain it to those of us who ought to know. And I understand you. I'm 100% there with you. And the thing is, you know, I think we've known, everybody knows. We've always known that the Biden family is corrupt.

it's no secret. It's been reported, widely reported over and over again about how much money they've got, how much Hunter Biden has taken in with obviously no job experience. But having said that, and I'd vote for impeachment tomorrow. I've said that as early as spring of this year, the guy's a crook, and he needs to go. But sometimes I'll jump ahead as well, and I want to make sure that since you only get really one good bite at this apple that we don't wind up with a Donald Trump impeachment, which was was no meat behind it. There was nothing with it. It was just, it was a political impeachment.

When you go to impeach a president, you better make sure you have solid evidence, especially when you have a Democrat Senate, that you can send over there, kind of like in the Nixon case, that you've got solid evidence. And so, you know, we took over in, and, you know, we took over in, January, actually got the committees formed in February and got to work. And I think they've done an incredible job just in the short time that they've had of getting evidence in the door. I heard Comer say it the other day that, you know, you have to make sure that you do this thing in order. Sometimes it is laborious and it seems like it's snails pace. But if they went out and subpoenaed first, then they were afraid that the judge may say, well, you didn't give

them enough time. You didn't give enough notice to get the information you won't put together. Now, that being said, yes, sir, it's time. This inquiry that we are doing now gives them a lot more leeway and a lot more law to put behind them to make sure that we get the evidence in. I think the other thing that it does that's not been talked about a lot is the fact that you've whistleblowers out there and you've got people coming forward at a faster pace now more than ever so they need to speed the conveyor belt up because I think people see that this is serious

it can have legs under it and they won't be afraid of any sort of retaliation for them coming forward with the information that they have so you know I know it seems like a long time it does for me too well what is it so what is the process where are we in this process? Where are we in this process right now? Right now, they should be getting the rest of the evidence in here. If you ask me, we need to be subpoenaing people like Hunter Biden to come in to testify. You know, Donald Trump Jr. came in. There's no reason for that. Unfortunately, I don't sit on those committees, but I know we've got good people on that. And when we get enough verifiable evidence, I'm expecting those articles in impeachment to go forward. And we'll be able to vote on it and send it to the

Senate. And, you know, the last time that we talked, I think our conference talked, I think there was like five or six Republicans that said that they needed more evidence before they would go down that road. Have they been shot yet? No, they haven't shot yet. Are they still alive? They're still living and they want more evidence. That's a fascinating, very fascinating to me. They want more evidence. So how long do you think it's going to take before folks like that will have enough evidence. Do you think never or do you think in the next month weeks? I don't think it's never because, I mean, look, you got one of them as Ken Buck. I think he's as pretty conservative as you can get. But, you know, I don't want to say months at all. But I do know

from what I've been told that the evidence is coming in crystal clear. And when you make sure you've got that 218, then you bring it up. You send your evidence over to the Senate and you make sure that they cannot say that it's political. No. Well, I mean, I'm always, I'm always joking around, but I guess my real question is with somebody like Kim Buck, for example, there, it sounds to me, because I want to give some of these good folks a benefit of the doubt that what they're saying is we want the kind of evidence that everyone will understand is real evidence, not just evidence that's good enough for me, but that evidence that's good enough for people that might be on the fence. Yeah, and I would agree with that.

You know, you could even put it down to just like me, plain old layman's terms because Lord knows I'm not a lawyer. I've had to hire plenty of them because I'm in the trucking industry and we get beat on. But, you know, I am by far not a lawyer here. Well, so again, you know, what would make, I mean, I guess the point. point is that every impeachment to some extent is political in the sense that you are putting evidence before the public. You're making a case before the public. So even if the Senate is so corrupt that they don't care and that they don't actually impeach, nonetheless, you're bringing these

things. You're doing your duty before the nation by bringing this evidence out there. Because I don't, you know, I don't believe that the Senate will ever vote to impeach Biden, no matter what evidence is put out there because the Democrats hold the line. And is your sense that some of them would cross over that they would say his day is done and we're going to get him back now? Sure. I think he, you know, I think he's a Manchuring president anyway. He's not really running the show.

And if it came down to where there is enough evidence. laying out there that it's going to cost them, even the Senate, surely. Oh, yeah, they'll run on that. I think you're going to see not only Joe Biden go down, but you're going to see Garland, you're going to see Ray, myorkas, you're going to see just a continual row with these people as far as being impeached. It's time to get rid of the whole lot. But you get rid of the top one, Joe Biden, and the rest of these are going to fall in place.

So realistically speaking, what is the timeline you think? You can't predict. Oh, I'd love to see it for the end of this year. What's that? I would love to see this happen before the end of the year. Before the end of the year. And what do you think Kevin McCarthy is doing about this? Do you think he's on that same timeline?

You think he wants it to happen sooner? I think that's a good question for him. I do. You know, from what he is conveyed to me and to the, the rest of us is that we will follow that evidence and that evidence is coming in. Do you think that there's any timidity to him or any calculation that's overcalculation? I think that he is someone who understands his conference and knows how to run the conference, kind of like a coach. And I think that he sees, or he should see, that he has the opportunity to go down as one of the best,

speakers in the history of Congress if he does the right things. And that's all you ever have to do, is just do the right thing. And, you know, from this impeachment inquiry to even our spending and our appropriation bills, which we haven't done but one, but he has the opportunity to be a significant figure in history.

I hope on the on the good side. I as for my money, he can sometimes be too calculating and too, uh, maybe too concerned with, um, with process, but we'll see. I'm,

I'm sorry we're at a time, but I'm glad we got the time. Uh, Congressman Mike Collins, thank you so much. Folks, I'm talking to representative Mike Collins with George's 10th congressional district. Um,

we've talked about, the impeachment inquiry on Joe Biden, who is a very model of corruption. If there were a statute to corrupt a government hacks, Joe Biden is, he's gone as long and as far with this, it's an astonishingly grievous record. If you've seen the film, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, he would be the Claude Raines figure. Really, really corrupt, horribly corrupt and to the detriment of the United States of America. But we need to talk about the issue of appropriations, our budget.

I am just horrified at the fecklessness of many who've been elected officials who do not seem willing to bring the budget under control, who seem willing to oversee us go into oblivion financially as a nation. We're well on our way there. We're almost there. So Congressman Mike Collins, what is your position on that? Well, I mean, you're preaching to the choir what you had to say there. You know, Eric, our job description is not that hard up here.

It's really easy. You got two things you take care of your constituents, and then you have oversight of the federal government. You just talked about one area of oversight. that's those hearings like we're having on Joe Biden, his entire corrupt family who needs to be railed out of here, along with several others of his cabinets. But in that oversight, that includes appropriation bills. We only have 12, 12 appropriation bills that we're supposed to pass within a budgetary limit, which we're supposed to pass a budget. We've only passed one, one appropriate bill, and here we are into September. into the fiscal year for the federal government.

And, you know, I have been out there for eight months, traveling across this country, holding hearings, holding hearings with these federal agencies that are out of control and far overreaching into the private sector and telling them that's okay because your day's coming. When we get to appropriations, I'll be glad to take care of you and the problem that we have with your agency.

You do that. That's going to accomplish several things. Number one, we're going to cut the approach on. It needs to go back pre-pandemic because the federal government was bloated 40% during the pandemic with overspending. And we've had 10 years of omnibus bills. Omnius bills, where we just pile up cash and throw it at a federal agency and say, hey, there you go. Come see me next year. No oversight, no accountability.

Well, I tell you what, that those days have got to be over now. and we need to be working on appropriation bills. Is there anybody banging the drum on this? I mean, when Kevin McCarthy was willing to let this last bill go through, you know, he says that he negotiated and whatever. What is your sense of that? Because I really feel there's a timidity, you know, if you understand where we are, you don't say, well,

you understand where we are. You know, you're about to get hit by a car, get out of the street now. Like right now, we are at a place in this nation where we are on the lip of the abyss financially. We are just, we pushed it. And I don't see people willing to take that seriously and to make it an issue. And why not shut down the government? Why are we afraid to shut down the government? This is, you know, this is, it doesn't get more serious than our future.

This is our futures at stake. And you have people kind of playing what looks to me like political games. That's how I see it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, you're right, Eric. I think there are a lot of political games that go on up here. But the thing is, we've got to the end of September to pass our appropriation bills. All of them except for two are out of committee on appropriations.

They all should have been out in the springtime. We should have been doing this earlier in the year. But we didn't. Here we are. Now we're, you know, and they talk about a 30-day CR, continuous resolution of Nancy Pelosi's agenda with an 8% cut somewhere in there on everything except for defense. But the thing is, until we buckle down, in my opinion, we don't need to go home. You think about it.

We're going to have a 30-day resolution to the end of October. Do you realize we're not even in session the first two weeks? Now, let that sink in. I'm a business person. You know, I've built a number of businesses from the ground up. I cannot have started and been successful at any of those trying to run a business like this place up here. And why we don't come in and stay here, I don't care if we sit here and look at each other all night long until we work through this problem and identify how we're going to cut this budget, how we're going to get this deficit under control. You realize that in FY2023, our debt service alone is going to be over $600 billion.

So FY 2020, fiscal year 2020, 23, we're at that moment. How much is it? So it's right around $663 billion interest on the debt. Interest on the debt.

So I just want to say again, it doesn't seem to me that leaders in Congress take this serious enough. I don't understand that. Why are you saying this, but we have all kinds of other leaders in Congress that don't seem to take this? What are the reasons for not taking this seriously enough?

You know, we're going to be delving into that because as a freshman, you know, I was told a long time ago, son, if you'll just keep your mouth shut when you get there, you just listen to folks. You'll figure out where the problems are, and you'll figure out what the solutions are. And I think that's coming on quick. We're figuring this thing out. But we have got to pass appropriations. I'm not passed. I'm not voting for an omnibus bill. I'm not voting for a mini bus. I'm not voting for an EV bus, a school bus. If it's got bus, it's out.

I'll vote for appropriation bills, but that's it. Who is leading this fight? Well, I mean, you know, you've got your leadership in conference that's always leading. But the way our conferences work, it's pushed down to the bottom level. And there's been groups or factions or people that have been working. on right now working on a continuous resolution for 30 days so that we can get these appropriate bills done. I don't listen.

You're speaking, you're speaking Chinese. Aprope bills, requisite. What do you mean? But yeah, I'm saying what when you say, what does that mean? Because there are a lot of people listening. They don't understand those terms. Yeah. So we have to pass that.

That's right. We had to pass 12 appropriation bills every year. And those fund the various government agencies out there. and keep them running. And that's what I've been said. For the past 10 years, much to Chuck Schumer's delight. And he's even said it on TV. He loves them.

These omnibus bills are nothing but just piling cash in a suitcase and handing it to these federal agencies. There's no oversight, no accountability. And what we have in the House of Representatives right now is the ability because we have what they call open rules, which allows us to put a minimum. onto these appropriations. They have not had that in years. As a matter of fact, I would say that the rules of our house are really good right now. I don't care if we have 180-something amendments on the defense appropriation bill.

No problem. We stay here and we vote on them. But it allows us to go in and put in amendments that will either strike out a rule, take money out of an agency, out of a department of an agency. You could even go in and put in the Holman rule. which would cut someone's payroll down to a dollar. There's so many things that we can do to these approach bills now. You think those things are going to get done?

Do you think Kevin McCarthy has the political will to get this done? Well, they need to be voted on. They need to be voting on. Let us go out there. I'm not scared to put my vote out there for the public to see. I'll be glad to share it with them. But we need to have people on record as to how they want to vote on these appropriation bills. These federal agencies, they spend too much.

They don't answer to anybody. They don't really care what we say, and it's time to rein them in. You rein them in. You're going to do two things. We're going to cut their budgets, and we're going to reduce that deficit. But you're also going to get manufacturing, and you're going to get the business sector to feel better about trying to operate in this country. We've been begging people to come back to this, to the states from China for years. But yet we're regulating them and taxing them to death.

And this is the way you bring in regulations and you bring in these rules. you pass your appropriation bills and you handle these federal agencies and get them back under control. That's why I keep saying, and I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, we need to be right here in our office on that floor debating and voting on these appropriation bills. And we've just got 30 seconds left, but who is supposed to be leading this charge in Congress? Well, you've got your, you've got your speaker of the house who sets the days that we're here. And then you've got your majority leader, you've got your conference leader. So, you know, you've got your whole leadership staff there that, that, that.

Do you think Kevin McCarthy has the fire that you have on this issue? I hope he has the fire that I have on this issue. I will take that as a no. I'm sorry we're at a time. Just a joy to speak with you, Congressman Mike Collins. God bless you. Thanks for your efforts. Well, I appreciate your time as well. Thank you, Eric.

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.

And because it's Constitution Day on September 17th, which was a couple days ago, this is Constitution Week. And our friends at Salem, as you know, we're on the Salem Radio Network, they wanted me to talk to somebody who knows a little bit about the Constitution and actually has something you might be interested in. Mark Hill, welcome to the program. Oh, thank you. It's great to be here.

When I read about this, I just thought it would, I think it would be fun for a lot of my listeners who might be interested in this to get a copy of this. I mean, I don't even know how to describe it. Why don't you talk to us about these 1953 documents? How do you put it? I don't know how you even describe it. Well, they were created by a bohemian immigrant, and his name was Theodore Oman.

And he came to this country in 1912 at the age of 20, became an engineer and a mapmaker. And two things happened when he was growing up in Bohemia. Number one, he learned about the Declaration of Independence in the U.S. Constitution as a schoolboy. And number two, he learned the art of lithography from his grandfather. So he comes over. He always thought the declaration was the greatest document ever written. And of course, there wouldn't be a Constitution without the declaration. But he eventually made it to Washington, D.C.

He wanted to see it in real life. Actually see the declaration and the Constitution, the actual thing itself. The actual documents. And they were at the library. Well, the declaration for sure was the Library of Congress at that time. So he goes on and he's just shocked at how bad a shape it's in. So he goes back home. I believe he was living in Memphis at the time.

And he decides to create what he referred to. And I know we're talking about the Declaration now, but he referred to it as Oman's authentic restoration of the Declaration of Independence. He wanted to make a lithograph of how it looked when it was signed. And there's a very interesting story behind that. and we probably don't have, you know, time to go into it, but it took them years to do. And I own his collection right now.

It's all the glass positive plates, negative plates, printing plates, and all his, the lithographs of both the declaration that he printed. But what we're talking about here, because I know to purchase one of these is, it's not inexpensive. I mean, this is a very special thing you're talking about. What's the difference between I'm going to get, a poster paper of the Constitution or whatever. What you're talking about, when I read about it, I said, this is kind of a big deal. This is for people who want something really special,

but you have to explain why is it special? Because I don't know anything about lithography or about how the Constitution was originally printed. So what is it that these Oman, O-H-M-A-N lithographs of the Constitution? What is it exactly? Well, it just, I think what makes specials it took him years and years of work to actually produce these. And they are, they're works of art. They're not a trinket that you're going to buy at a, you know, museum store on the way out or Amazon.com or something like that. And so there are none of it's declarations are left. You know, I've been, these constitutions, I've just been waiting for the right moment to offer them. And back in 96, the human events sold the declaration.

for the same price that we're selling them for now, the constitutions. In 1996, in honor of the 220th anniversary, the signing of the Declaration, they sold all Omen's remaining declarations. There's none of those. So to get one of these works of art is $299. And folks, this is a big deal. So, you know, it's not for everybody. But I want to tell you, these are very, very special.

So I've been waiting all these years to, you know, for the right time. Okay. So I want to say, if people are interested in. and finding out more, they can go to Salem Event Store or Salem Events Store.com, and you can, you can see all the details and stuff, but I thought it would be fun just to talk to you, Mark, so that you can tell people. So when we talk about a lithograph that, you know, it's being sold for $299, what is this? Because it, again, it's very, you know, for people who don't know about this, they don't understand what that means or what they'd be paying for because it's a very special thing.

explain somehow what what is it i mean is it on paper is it on vellum it it's on it's on um well the the type the exact type of paper i don't know um exactly what it is uh printed on but the the amount of work that it took it took them literally i know it took them at least four years to do it because some of the negative plates are in a in a wooden box and on the wooden box it has the date like april 12th of 1939. Well, he didn't even print them until 19, I'm sorry, 1949. He didn't print them until 1953. So he had at least four years of his life just wrapped up creating everything he had to create to print them. And then there was four printing plates and he had to register everything perfectly every time. So he had a plate for the script, the background, and then two plates for

color. And it did the amount of time it took this this is a one of a kind collection that is absolutely gorgeous. All everything he had to do to create these. It was a massive amount of work. And he did it because he loved this country. Thank you for helping us understand what this is. I'll just tell people go to Salem event store.com. I'll put that out of my social media and on my email newsletter, SalemEventstore.com. This is very special. These are very limited. It's just kind of a big deal. But I wanted to at least give my audience an opportunity because I know once these are gone, these are gone. So Salem Eventstore.com. Mark Hill, thank you very much. Thank you, Eric. I appreciate it.

I know that when I find a 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 Netsley, 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. things are 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 out 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. 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 Nesley, 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 helping understand what you own is 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 and it 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.

They're going on in the portfolio, LGBT activism, human 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. They're 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 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, deep

people 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. I does 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. 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 in the top three fastest growing investment firms in the nation for the past number of 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 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 Planned Parenthood or to whatever evil things they're 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 inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. It is free, folks. It is free. please do this, resist the inertia. InspireAdvisors.com slash Eric, inspireadvisors.com slash Eric. Check it out. 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 to 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 stop 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 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.
