As bad as I wanted to clear this, an open container Friday after the week I've had, I got to go to the gym after this is over.

Depressing health.

Welcome.

It's Eric Erickson here.

The phone number 87797-975.

It's an open line Friday.

As always, if you text Eric, E-R-I-C- to 33-777, you can get the show notes, the podcast, the

live stream, the social media links.

We are putting most of the big monologues on YouTube.

So you can get the link there as well.

For all of you, we're requesting copies and stuff.

You can get the podcast or you can get it on YouTube.

So I want to, oh, oh, oh, by the way, I want to say this one more time. If you want to help

the Israelis, a great way to do it is to text donate, the word donate, text that to 33777.

And Mike Bloomberg has set up a fundraising link with the Israeli Red Cross. So I'll send you the link. If you text, donate to 3-3-7-7. I'll send you back to Mike Bloomberg's link. Bloomberg is pledging a dollar-for-dollar match. If you give money to the Israeli Red Cross through this link that I send you, he will match it 100%. There's no cap. So if you were somehow to give a million dollars,

he would give a million dollars. There are no caps. The man's multi-billionaire several times over,

so he's good for the money and he's willing to help. So text donate to 33777.

My company uses Vanguard to manage our 401ks.

There's a deeply troubling story in the financial times about Vanguard.

Now, Vanguard is one of the big liberal firms that money managers, asset managers,

and they have been pushing ESG for quite a while, environmental, social,

governance stuff within corporations. Vanguard is very liberal in how it pushes this stuff.
