Part 2 of 3. Your briefing this week is part of a special edition series from Economic War Room at the Falkirk Center Freedom Summit. Economic and political weapon systems are being pointed at the United States at record levels all while Wall Street firms are investing in the Chinese Communist Party with your money! This is a dynamic that must be countered by Americans now. A closer look at the NSIC Institute and how Americans can “weaponize their money” to align with their values and biblical principles. Eric Bolling and Nan Hayworth facilitate the discussion on new ways to harness our economic power to ensure conservative outcomes. Your Mission: This is a panel discussion on how to weaponize your investments with conservative and biblical principles. “This is not a traditional war where you’re going to kiss your spouse goodbye and you are going to get on a boat and go fight a war somewhere. It’s an economic war. It’s a war targeting average American individuals. And if you’re going to fight that economic war, you got to get your weapons.
