Off Leash, with Erik Prince

Erik and Mark discuss Erik’s recent trip to El Salvador, where he saw firsthand what the government is doing to rid the country of its gang problem – and in the process, help the U.S. combat the spread of dangerous gangs like MS-13.

Three years after an ISIS suicide bomber killed 13 American service members and 170 Afghan civilians in the midst of America’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, not a single person in civilian or military leadership has been accountable. Mark and Erik recount the litany of failures throughout the botched withdrawal, including the Biden administration’s unrealistic assumptions, lack of vision, and refusal to change strategies or tactics. Mark and Erik discuss what should have been done differently, and Erik proposes a solution that would have kept the Taliban out of power for a fraction of the cost in lives and treasure.

Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro blatantly rigged the recent elections, which outside observers believe he lost in a landslide, with roughly 70% of Venezuelans voting to remove him from power. Erik outlines his proposal for getting rid of Maduro and his narco-gang without American intervention.

Jihadist rebels in Mali ambushed and killed dozens of Wagner mercenaries on their way to seize control of a gold mine. Was Ukraine involved in the attack? Why did Western militaries fail to restore order in the first place? What could the U.S. do differently in a second Trump administration to learn from and correct the failures of the past? Erik answers all these questions more in the latest episode of Off Leash.

Erik discusses the ongoing war in Gaza and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent visit to the U.S., during which pro-terrorist “Gays for Gaza” protested in D.C. and the Israeli leader met with Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Erik analyzes the current state of the Israel-Hamas War, which is nearing the one-year mark, explains the domestic politics behind Netanyahu’s visit, and calls attention to the ongoing threat to Israel from Iranian drones.

Blackwater founder and former Navy SEAL officer Erik Prince provides expert analysis on the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a rally in Western Pennsylvania.

Erik Prince shares an update on China’s aggressive moves against Taiwan. The People’s Liberation Army is gradually tightening the noose around Taiwan, while the Chinese Communist Party continues to bribe, provoke, and threaten Pacific nations – including U.S. allies like the Philippines, Japan, and Australia. Erik warns that the U.S. State Department has shown itself unequal to the task of containing China’s ambitions, and points out that America’s service members are the ones who will pay the price if China decides to exploit the U.S. President’s senility to make a military move against Taiwan.

Erik Prince was at his friend Steve Bannon’s side on the day the War Room host and former presidential advisor reported to prison to serve a four-month sentence for listening to advice of counsel and invoking executive privilege against the January 6 subcommittee. Erik talks about what it was like to be with Steve on that fateful day, and why the Biden administration was so determined to silence one of the most influential voices on the right.

Voters across Europe sent a powerful message to globalist elites in the latest European Union elections, giving anti-immigrant, pro-European parties a surprisingly large share of the vote while repudiating the parties in power. Erik breaks down the political trends and what they mean for the U.S. ahead of this year’s elections – unless the Democrats plan to flood the ballot boxes with votes from the flood of illegal immigrants Biden has allowed to cross the border since taking office.

Off Leash explores issues around the world. First, learn how the Houthis have expanded their reach by attacking ships headed for Israel in the Mediterranean Sea 1,300 miles away from Yemen! Then, Mark and Erik cover the way China pressured countries to stay away from a peace summit to provide cover for Russia. Previously, this summit served as a platform for talks between Russia and Ukraine, but in 2024 Zelensky flew solo since the CCP imposed its influence. Finally, Joe Biden lifts asylum claims on hundreds of thousands illegal immigrants he let cross the U.S. border. By fiat, just as he acted with student loan forgiveness, Biden told illegals “never mind” as they roam our country free and clear. ABOUT OUR SPONSOR The Unplugged Phone is here!

Erik offers his insights about the complex and daring raid conducted by IDF forces in central Gaza that resulted in the release of four hostages. Using the elements of surprise and deception, the daytime raid, which was planned weeks in advance, tragically resulted in the death of the commander of the operation. It was a much needed victory for Israel, and a reminder of the devilish ways in which Hamas uses citizens as human shield and residential areas as prisons for hostages.

America’s role as a guarantor of world peace is in doubt, and China is ramping up pressure on Taiwan, broadcasting an intention to retake the island by force, possibly through a military blockade. But Taiwan’s fate is not sealed. The U.S. Navy remains a powerful force in the Pacific, and Japan is rapidly arming up in response to Chinese aggression. Erik discusses what Taiwan’s new president should do to prepare the country for a possible Chinese invasion, such as establishing a Home Guard that could apply lessons learned from successful military operations of the past in which a smaller country has defeated a larger one.

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.

Erik Prince explains how the Neocon ideology and the military-industrial complex repeatedly thwarted efforts to implement an effective military strategy in Afghanistan. Instead of allowing a small number of NATO Special Forces soldiers to help the Afghan military keep the Taliban in check, the Pentagon insisted on a conventional military presence despite abundant evidence that their strategy was nothing more than an eye-wateringly expensive boondoggle.

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 About Our Sponsor The UP Phone by Unplugged is the first smartphone built from the ground up to put privacy first.

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.

Elites inside the country are working together with our enemies overseas to wage emotional and psychological warfare on America’s children. Just like Mao’s “Cultural Revolution” in China, the goal is to dumb down the young generation so they will be unable to resist the escalating onslaught against our Constitution, our society, and our founding ideals. On this special edition of “Off Leash,” Erik interviews Kimberly Fletcher, the founder and president of Moms For America. For the past 20 years, Moms For America has been on the front lines of the fight for America’s future. Erik and Kimberly discuss what’s happening and what we can do defend our country from this attack.

Erik Prince warns that Iran is using its Houthi allies in Yemen to perfect “long-range piracy” tactics that could eventually be employed to shut down shipping through the Panama Canal using Iranian-funded weapon systems that already exist in Venezuela. The threat to America will only continue to grow as long as the Biden administration lets Iran and its proxies threaten global peace and stability with impunity.

As gangs take over the island nation of Haiti, having blocked the return of the U.S.-installed Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, the country has devolved into chaos and indiscriminate killings –– akin to the movie franchise, “The Purge.” Erik explains how U.S. State Department official Brian Nichols, a career diplomat responsible for the Caribbean, blocked a plan by Haiti officials in 2023 to correct the exorbitant purchase price Haiti pays for fuel that generates their electricity to fund a national security force. The Biden solution to the depraved, gang-run port and streets of Port-au-Prince? Contracting a security force from Kenya, a deal that PM Henry was negotiating before his return to the country was blocked and he had to take refuge in Puerto Rico.

In PART TWO of the eye-opening tour of the world briefing that Erik delivered to national conservative leaders at CPAC 2024, Erik breaks some news about the source of a recent cyberattack that shut down major cell carriers and 911 service nationwide and warns about this rogue nation’s intent for Taiwan in the coming months. Erik also takes us to the War in Ukraine, where “an ugly peace is better than a hopeful, struggling war.” Russia will only have more wins this spring as war rages on firmer ground and the inevitable failure of U.S. policy will be realized. Mark and Erik then take aim at NATO for not paying their fair share following comments about NATO members from President Donald Trump that had corporate media clutching their pearls as usual.

As only he can do, Erik provides an update on the conflict in the Middle East as Israel continues to flush out Hamas from southern Gaza, the Houthis continue their piracy in the Red Sea, and Iran gets its wish to expand the conflict as attacks against U.S. positions in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Bahrain, and on the sea continue through their proxies.
