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

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

Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's happened again.

I'm excited.

Why?

Because right now I get to talk to somebody.

I've not spoken to him on this program before. His name is Mark Skousen. I think it's Skuzen. He'll tell me if I'm wrong. And he is, is, yes, it's Scowson. I already know that that was wrong. Mark Skowson, who is the producer of something called Freedom Fest.

Many of you listening to this program,

you don't know anything about Freedom Fest.

That's the point.

We wanted to have Mark Skowson on to talk to you about Freedom Fest.

I know about Freedom Fest because I'm going to be at Freedom Fest this year.

But I want you to know about it from the man behind it.

He is a university professor.

He's a financial economist, but who isn't, right?

And here he is, Mark Scouse.

And welcome to the program.

Thank you, Eric.

It's just a real pleasure.

And I am so excited about you coming to Freedom Fest for the first time.

And I know you're doing a debate on your book on atheism, is atheism dead, which is a great play on the old Time magazine cover, is God dead.
