Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our 2.

Hello America.

It is Eric Erickson here across the nation.

The phone number, you want to be on the program, 8779773-7-425, should you wish to be on the program? 877-9-37-3-7-4-25. Should you wish to be on the program? I have to, out of the gate, say two things. First, you should text Eric, E-R-I-C-K to 33-777-7. You can follow me all over social media. You should be following me on Instagram. If you have Instagram, it's my favorite social media platform because I can put up all my pictures of what I'm

cooking, travel shots, things like that. It's just the most personal one where I'm most likely to

engage with people as well. But you can follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Rumble, you name it.

And you can also get show notes. The very top link takes you to my daily writings. The other thing I have to say out of the gate is that Philip puts together the show notes for me. I get up in the morning. I outline the show. I say these are all the things we're going to talk about. Here are all the links. And he organizes it for me, throws in some extra stuff he's seen.

And out goes the show notes.

And today was his personal Vietnam.

If you don't know what that quote comes from, I'll tell you.

But today was Phillips personal Vietnam.

He did the whole show notes and it all got

erased. Wasn't his fault. Server side problems. Wipe it all out. He had to start over, was left

scrambling and he did it. So I've got a friend of mine who refers to things as his personal

Vietnam and people who don't know tend to get offended with him.

Like he goes to the grocery store and there's no milk.

This is my personal Vietnam.

Or there's no parking spot.

It's his personal Vietnam and get offended by it.

What people forget is that this is actually a statement from Donald Trump back in 1997.

He was asked about not having served in Vietnam.

And he said, no, he didn't.
