Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One. My fellow Americans, welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here across the United States of America.

The phone number is 877-973-7--25, should you wish to be on the program. If you would like, you can text

Eric E-R-I-C-K to 33-7-77- Get the show notes, the live stream, the podcast, all that fantastic

stuff. Well, we got a lot of stuff to cover today. Constitutional crisis has

come to an end, I guess. Federal judges stopping Trump or allowing things to go forward.

We'll get to that. I decided to start here today because of a tweet that I got from some random progressive troll who is very, very upset that because of USAID cuts, Northern Thailand now has a doctor shortage and there are several villages in northern Thailand that do not have doctors.

It actually, for those of you laughing about this, it's actually not a good thing.

We don't talk enough about soft power.

Hard power is the military.

Soft power is American culture.

People want to come to the United States because our movies used to at least make this country seem awesome.

Now we got a Captain America who says America is not that great or something.

Movie sucks, by the way.
