## Resource

Happy "Friday Eve," "RevFam"! (It really does feel like Friday on this shortened, holiday week.) Today on the show, we talk to Victims of Communism Foundation President Eric Patterson about the true legacy of statism, amid the relatively sudden rise of openly statist candidates and elected officials in America. As this is our last show for the week before the Fourth of July, we wish America a happy 250th birthday and all of you a pleasant celebratory weekend.
