Hello and welcome. It's Eric Eurickson here, the third hour of the program. Glad to have you with me.

The phone number, if you want to be on, 877, 973, 745, I actually want to squeeze in a phone call before I move into other stuff because this one's so relevant to what I was talking about.

If you're just tuning in, I was talking about environmental social governance criteria that BlackRock and Vanguard are using to drive

corporate America left. Essentially, they're urging these companies through the power of

their control of assets for retirees. They're driving a left-wing agenda, pushing companies to go to the left,

and it's time we start fighting back. One of the easiest things to do is to get states that have

their pension and retirement funds with these companies say, you're not allowed to use ESG

criteria. You can only do financial criteria. What's in the best financial interest for the retirees?

You can't say what's in the best environmental interest for them. It's got to be the financial interest. And I'm sure they'll find ways to excuse around it and say, well, you know, long term with climate change, this actually is good. No, no, no, no, no, no. You can word it. You can can fight back and we've got to. I want to move on from that because we got to get into what

OPEC just did to Joe Biden've got to. I want to move on from that because

we've got to get into what OPEC just did to Joe Biden. But first, I want to take Bruce's phone

call to finish out this topic. Bruce, welcome to the show. Hey, Eric, how are you? And thank you

for your show. Thank you. What's going on? You know, you have, well, I'm a 71-year-old frustrated Republican, and as you bring up this issue of ESG,

it strikes a bigger nerve with respect to the absence, so to speak, of the Republican Party, or the laziness.

This is a critically important issue, but there are so many others. Why of the Republican Party or the laziness. This is a critically important issue,

but there are so many others. Why is the Republican Party not making us aware and fighting

back against some of these things? It appears as though the Democrats are so far ahead

in finding ways to take us further to the left.

But the Republicans now no defense, nor do they utilize the resources of their voters.

And you bring up the issue, which is critically important.

But why am I not hearing this from the Republican Party?

Oh, my gosh.
