Welcome to the Eric Mataxa show! It's the show where the announcer Todd Wilkerson gets to say whatever he wants!

Before they tackle him and subdue him with large padded blankets so that Eric can press on to center stage and pretend to be all sophisticated.

Although he's fooling absolutely no one. And now you're for the balloony sandwich of a host Eric Mataxas!

I hate you Todd! I hate you Todd! Alvin! Yes? I hate Todd! I know you do!

Okay and for good reason. Alvin today's a very very special day. It is. Okay in a few minutes ladies and gentlemen this is when I wish this weren't radio.

I wish this were TV because in the studio they're not by a microphone yet but my current wife her name always slips my mind.

This is what happened to get so many wives. Honey baby Suzanne Suzanne is in the studio and her colleague at a veil.

Chris Whitford is also in the studio in a few minutes we're going to talk about a veil which is this pregnancy center in New York City where Suzanne has been leading the charge for 11 years.

Being kicked out from bezel meant but you know what there's grace there's grace you know what I'm saying everybody's tempted you take a little and you repent.

So so so the point is we're going to talk to my current wife Suzanne and her colleague Chris in a few minutes and we're going to because it's giving Tuesday today is Tuesday this is our one of your contacts.

So it's giving Tuesday and on giving Tuesday it's about giving so you need to reach into your pockets ladies and gentlemen I'm talking unfortunately to you you need to reach into your you need to reach into your pocket and give all right now before we talk about giving to a veil which is the

Worliest organization in the world yes and I'm not just saying that because Suzanne's here although I would you know.

We're going to talk about CSI as you know from yesterday until Christmas Eve we're doing a campaign with CSI CSI's Christian solidarity international.

This is huge folks we did a campaign with them a year ago a lot of people looked into it and they understand this is a very very worthy organization they're helping the victims of persecution.

Horrible persecution in the Middle East Christians you always see this on TV say can't can't somebody do something you can do something CSI is dedicated to helping these folks they're on the ground risking their lives to do this to give to CSI you go to

Metaxas talk dot com there's a banner. Click on the banner that's the easiest way to do it there's also a phone number if you prefer the phone you could dial 800 22259 09 800 2225909 just so you understand we always have a standing offer on this program that if anybody wants to give a huge amount to an organization like this like $10,000 and there are people who can do that of course.

If you can do that and feel moved to do that because this is so important we'd like to thank you by having dinner with you if you come to New York City or if I come to your city we can do that so if you want to give to CSI and do that that would be great if you can give a thousand dollars and you can chip in with all your friends to give a thousand dollars.

You could come into the studio you could say hello to us Alvin could give you hard boiled egg with salt and a hat and a hat or whatever you know you could do that but this is not about getting this is about giving so CSI we're going to be talking about CSI for this whole month only today we're going to be talking about a veil.

I'm because it's giving Tuesday but I want to say I was astounded this morning I opened up my email and a friend who lives in Hong Kong right now said I just want you know we gave to CSI like a few days ago I said a few days ago we just started the campaign yesterday and she's like no no we saw the banner and we we gave like three days ago they gave 2500 dollars.

Now I know for a fact these people could have afforded to give 3000 but they only gave 2500 but that's okay but I got to tell you no kidding no joking 2500 dollars folks we have started off with with a bang and I just want to say all through this season I'm going to be bugging you and bugging you to give to CSI because this is you can't even imagine the level of persecution that people are being sold into slavery and CSI rescues them and and help it it's just it's it's undeniable.
