Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals.

There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals.

That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Hey, you, have you checked your bucket list lately?

Are you ready to take care of item number seven?

Listening to the Eric Metaxa show?

Well, welcome, tune in, and then move on to item number eight, skydiving with Chuck Schumer and AOC.

Here now is Mr. Completed My Bucket List at age 12, Eric Mattaxas.

Hey, folks, welcome to the show, or to this part of the show.

I have the privilege and joy of having, as my guest guest in this hour, someone many of you are

familiar with Lieutenant Colonel Alan West. He is, as you probably know, if you know anything

about him, a Christian constitutional conservative. So am I. He is a combat veteran. I am not.

He's a former member of the U.S. Congress.

I'm also not a former member of the U.S. Congress.

As you know, I am currently the senator from the great state of Wyoming.

Actually, just kidding.

Alan West, Colonel, welcome the program.

It's good to be back with you, Eric.

And thanks for lowering your standards and allowing an old paratrooper to come on.

An old paratrooper, yeah.

I don't think anybody thinks of you that way, but thank you for being so humble.

I got to ask you, there's a lot to talk about, but you wrote an article.
