Off Leash with Erik Prince Erik Prince

Erik traces the development of the Neocon establishment in Washington, starting with the collapse of the USSR and the need for new justifications to maintain the high defense spending that sustains the military-industrial complex. From an unnecessarily militant posture toward Russia that indirectly led to the present war in Ukraine to fomenting conflict and genocide in Africa, the Neocon legacy is one of death, destruction, and enormous profits.

Erik points out that private security firms have a track record of low-cost, highly-effective peacekeeping missions, yet are consistently blocked by Neocon administrations in Washington that prefer ineffective, high-cost military operations. The money wasted on arming and equipping these interventions has fueled the explosion of the U.S. national debt while lining the pockets of politicians, defense contractors, and political activist groups.

Emboldened by the appeasement of the Biden administration, Iran is more brazenly aggressive than ever before. Erik Prince offers his expert assessment of the recent exchanges of drone and missile attacks between Israel and Iran and answers the most pressing questions, including: Why didn’t the situation escalate to all-out war? What’s going to happen next? What does it mean for the U.S.? How is it going to affect the price of oil? What will Iran do next?

Erik breaks down America’s role in the conflict, Iran’s strategic decision-making, and Israel’s diplomatic constraints.

The political elites are once again manipulating public policy for their own gain while hanging American taxpayers out to dry, with Speaker Mike Johnson ramming through $95 billion in new foreign aid spending with the help of Democrat votes. Meanwhile, Congress has just renewed FISA, prolonging one of the greatest threats to the civil liberties of American citizens. Erik explains how the latest reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act should really be called DISA, because it functions more like a Domestic Intelligence Surveillance Act, complete with expanded definitions that allow the federal government to spy on Americans even more broadly. Not only do tech and communications companies have no choice but to do the government’s bidding, but they’re not even allowed to inform citizens when the government accesses our information.

The era of drone warfare has officially begun, and it’s revolutionizing the battlefield. America no longer has a monopoly on drone technology, and the U.S. Military needs to take notice. Russia recently launched the world’s first fully autonomous land-air drone attack using technology available to all of America’s enemies, including terrorist groups. Meanwhile, Israel has discovered the drawbacks of drones, which make it difficult to fully prevent civilian casualties.

As it was in the mid- to late-1970s, America is submissive to world energy markets once again. Prices were at $53 per barrel on Donald Trump’s last day in office and are rising fast to $90 or above. Economies around the world are roiled by energy prices and regimes such as Iran and Venezuela have expanding power as they sell oil without consequence under Joe Biden who has lifted sanctions on both countries. Watch Erik and Mark discuss the consequences for energy markets and raging conflicts around the world.
