Erik Prince, America needs him, make a great Secretary of Defense!
I love listening to Eric. He is amazing
Basically what Erik is trying to say is that a very large percent of military spending goes to five CEO's who pay million dollar salaries to fundamentally useless people.
Basically bureaucracy in military industrial complex
I hope EP will get assigned to Trumps team in some manor.
Amen, my daughter will definitely be going to Hillsdale, And Erik is right, we our letting our sworn enemies into our country, I heard him call it Deerbornistan .
Our government severely lacks great and intelligent patriots like Erik.
I agree! This guy is one hell of a man. Very smart and he loves our country which makes him okay with me
@@caseyrayburn5887well the absolute bs he's just sprouted about South Africa doesn't reflect any intelligence. He's nothing more than a warmonger, whose profited heavily out of bringing mystery to millions. He has so much blood on his hands, this 'hell of a man' of yours!
@anthonybaiocchi3028 to each their own... I'd rather not idolize a "celebrity" or whoever is in the headlines and rather be thankful for a true patriot that loves his country and capitalism.. to each their own
He didn't make alot of money so he sold it. He and his employees did many good jobs.

… Protect these men at All Cost! 🇺🇸🗽
I'm a bit late to the party here, but just a quick comment commending you for an excellent, fascinating interview. Thank you!
I went looking for Erik Prince’s feedback and opinions regarding the conflict in Gaza and found this podcast…excellent info …made me wish he had his own history and government opinionated style podcast
He does: czcams.com/video/3m6lCghbcx4/video.html
It's called "off leash with Erik Prince"
Ironically he does have his own podcast it’s just very new. I think it’s called Erik Prince unleashed or something, but I’m sure you can find it
@@FRANKONATOR123Off Leash with Erik Prince
Great discussion! We could use more leadership like Eric in American today👏🇺🇸👏🇺🇸👏🙏👍👍
100%
Great interview gents...thank you Erik. I am encouraged by your tenacity and courage and hope that it becomes infectious. We've got a country to save!
I agree that the municipality and the State needs to take power back but the leaders are comfortable with taking Government dollars.
Unfortunately we have an army of people who feed at the public trough so they don,'t have to sack groceries at Kroger.,
Love this guy
HOA with teeth!
Great look into the views of a Seal and successful businessman who has been there and done that worldwide!
People really need to listen to this man.
Let's Gooooo!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Keep on keeping on brother
Erik took care of the family's of men that did not come home .
Excellent interview
I'm dying to know how you were able to have this discussion remotely at such high quality.
I'm sure Eric has a pretty nifty setup. But it looks to be a webcam and iPod earbuds. And it is Crystal clear with zero issues. It's very impressive.
We used Riverside--great experience. It records the conversation natively on both devices as you record and uploads after so you don't have any quality issues from bandwidth/streaming.
Respect 🫡🪖🇺🇸
This was a really superlative interview. Subscribed.
Eric one sharp team player👉🏻🧜
Allot of the IDF is volunteers and this surprise set them back and allot of the showed up as required and found out there was not enough helmets, ballistic vests, rifles etc. So, yes it took time to respond. The fact is our church provided thousands of vests and other equipment as well as set up food services. So you are right, the private sector reacted.
Excellent
44:30 Nice to see that he understands what constitutes civilization. However, his next comment on "trusts" ...could be interpreted one of two competing ways. I.e.: "Only the government can enforce a monopoly."
46:45 Outstanding comments. This interview is very interesting. I'd like to see a solid libertarian intellectual interview this guy. Checking to see if Stossel or ReasonTV interviews him...
Gary carried true spiritual Authority !!! 🙏
He started with a small loan of $1billion from his dad. Admirable
@@jose98937 being sarcastic lol
Even without it you can tell he would have done something great with his life as the drive in him. I come from no money and work a shit job that beats my body on the daily and I am happy that men like this guy are speaking and telling the truth about their findings in the government and thankful for his service
@BristolBerg lol not at all. We can't all be billionaires and have a pmc. There's too many cheifs and not enough Indians. Your a Indian.. sit down and stay in line
56:00 He's right about this.
Government not getting the job done, sounds right !
Pretty much sums it up. JJoburg vs Memphis are getting to be Similar.
He is real!
Corruptions main causes of poverty.
Not really.
Poverty has many many causes. But the biggest by far is the brutal inequality of human creative ability.
No matter which domain you look at. A tiny minority produces almost all of the output. A small amount produce a little. And like 90% produce zero.
Music, art, writing, acting, anything. A tiny minority do almost all of it.
But so many people stack up on zero. Which is why we do as a society need ways to funnel some of that wealth down to the people at the bottom. Otherwise when the inequality hits a certain level, people at the bottom. Usually the young men at least, say "fuck it" let's burn it all down and start again. Maybe then I will get to 1 or 2.
The tricky part is how to do that. You start in capatilist society's by diversifying the domains of competition. You can't be mozart, but maybe you are a great driving instructor.
The other thing that is important is that the rich don't fix the game! People can tolerate being at zero, if they can see the game isn't rigged and their kids can be a 3 or 4. That's been the American dream.
The corruption you are thinking about is not so much a cause of poverty as it is a consequence of the unfairness of the system. It's very easy for the people at the top to influence the game. The stock market for example. If you own enough of an interest in a company, then you really can only lose if you sell it. If the price tanks and you can keep buying more then the price rises again.
The people who have that power are playing a very delicate game. Because if 10 million people decide they want to cut your head off. All the billions in the world won't save you.
So you have to keep them preoccupied enough with life's struggle and other bullshit that they can't get enough of them to agree on who's head they want to cut off. Let alone where this person is and when to do it.
It's always been this way. Kings and Queens would look out of the castle walls and see the village folk fighting and hug each other. Because they know it's only when the town folk agree on something that they are at risk of them scaling the walls.
2:30 .... it's true ... my house , 14 foot electrified razor wire wall, motion sensors , cameras, burglar bars, armed security patrol , panic buttons , quick reaction force ... only $15 per month for armed security reaction service.
I like that.
I am curious if Eric knew James McCorrmack?
The title of this is biased. He started a company to offer services that the U.S. government didn't want to handle. Stop all the labeling.
"Affluenza" was coined in 1954

Look and learn.
Would Erik act as Security for the Lakota to protect them from the USA; if they could afford to pay him ?!.
What a coup (no pun intended)
Wouldn't want to be standing next to him on judgement day. Could get messy.
Does Erik think that they’ll ever find those missing Trillions from the Pentagon that Donald Rumsfeld told us about on the 10th September 2001 ?
Did you see Dejavu . Watch out.
Sorry Eric- I live in South Africa and whilst there are pockets of what you described it is not as prolific as what you suggested. You have more school shootings in the US than we will ever have.
1:10:10 😆😆
Does he think that there will ever be a Verdict handed down on Benjamin Netanyahu in his ongoing Criminal Corruption and Bribery Charges Court Case, or that he’ll keep the Wholly Oil War going to delay it and he Secures that Gaza Oil and Gas for BP ?!.

Can you imagine how strong and stable our country would be if this guy was a Secretary of State of secretary of defense! Maybe Trump will use him in his administration!!
I disagree with his comment about "affluenza." If this were true, how do you explain places like Singapore, Japan and Norway? Singapore, for example, has the highest concentration of average people with at least $1mil in assets. The mass population there has way more in the bank than your average American, but yet you go to Singapore and it's one of the safest and sanest cities in the world. Singaporeans are generally happy, healthy, and mentally stable. The real problem(s) the US suffers from is incivility, lack of common culture due to open borders, and now mental illness. Mass illegal migration has done more harm to our country than anyone can imagine and the worst is yet to come.
Singapore has 4 official national languages, has 3 major ethnicities, Chinese, Malaysian and Indian. Singapore is multicultural finance powered city state exactly like a NYC of SE Asia, not the cultural or ethnic homogeneity you envision. Japan's GDP hasn't grown in 30 years, the US has 2x GDP per capita compared to japan. Norway has a high GDP, but that's because of their oil which they've essentially nationalized, combined with socialist welfare policy, their GDP still hasn't recovered to the 2008 peak 15 years later.
@@hjc7429 I have no idea what your point is. Americans are POOR! They live off of credit and have under $1000 in the bank. All it takes is one health issue and they're bankrupt. Singapore is very multicultural (not just the main ethnicities you mention) and their bank statements would make most Americans feel very bad. To say Americans are "affluent" is laughable. A small percentage actually are, the rest are fake rich (living off credit). In addition, the American education system is HORRIBLE! You cannot call yourself "affluent" if you don't know basic math and can't read beyond the 5th grade like most Americans. America hasn't been affluent since the 1980s. Stop kidding yourself.
Those countries are each considered "high trust societies" that America used to be. Those countries haven't gone through a radical demographic shift that America has and as Erik Prince said "demographics are destiny."
Singapore is prosperous, but only because it imports a constant stream of high intelligence immigrants, who then have few/no children. It's a human capital shredder.
The US, on the other, is much less wealthy than it thinks itself to be. The majority of americans are less wealthy than their peers in other developed countries, but the american upper middle class, and especially upper class, are much *more* wealthy than their peers. This wealth gap largely rides on the fumes of empire and former industrial glory. It's ephemeral, only existing on spreadsheets. The real tangible capital has largely moved to china. There's no such thing as a post-industrial economy.
TL;dr on Singapore is that the IQ shredder economic model only works in a tiny micro-nation. You can't scale it up to a nation like USA, China, or Germany. You can borrow some obvious aspects like zero-tolerance for drugs and crime.
Come to Africa bra we need to restore order
Spoken like a true Boer
Unless I’m wrong
Hmm South Africa, sounds a lot like here, I'm sure the democrat or uni party here would live that.
He may eat a bowl of babies every morning but he is damn sensible.
He's terrible on the "Isrul" issue as he calls it, but otherwise an interesting man.
Erik, I agree with you concerning America needing to recolonize Africa. I believe this is true for several reason but the most important is that African governments are corrupt and are failing to provide basic infrastructure, security, and economic development for their own people. African countries have abundant resources but the leadership is pilfering away their resources and enriching themselves and destroying their own people.
This man wants Africa.
Richest continent
Hang on, hang on!!! You get booms, manned by security companies, at entrances to neighbourhoods. There are no electric fences, and constitutionally you can not stop the movement of people into those areas if they are on public roads. Vehicles are stopped and asked to sign in, and pedestrian traffic is monitored. You also get neighbourhoods built on private land, called 'complexes'. Like the one the 'Blade Gunner' lived in when he shot his girlfriend through the bathroom door. These residential complexes have high walls to protect the affluent residents, and the rules of entry are different. Another thing to bear in mind is that the Police in South Africa are paid really badly, and have heavily, 'thank God', been muzzled compared to their fascist white counterparts during the dark days of apartheid. So please Mr Prince stop talking shite about my country!
He built more than one private army. He did the same thing in communist china. Google his name and FSG.
He's a mercenary war lord. Makes a ton of money from unrest and violence. Violence begets Violence. Works for him, apparently.
"The Man Who Built A Private Army", for the vatican.
I say that as this traitor is a knight of malta which one of the oldest vatican armies. Along with the jesuits.
But dont take my word for it, do your own research...
War profiteer. These guys are a dime a dozen.
I like prince but his love of israel is concerning.
Oy vey!
Why a guy like this is not the president?
Racist with a colonial mind.
A true crusader
Evil genius, only interested in his own tiny minority. Tyranny for others - fine. Tyranny for me and my connected, resource-rich few - never.
Some good points, but hopelessly indifferent to what doesn’t concern _his_ financial aspirations, unfortunately. An adjusted moral compass would make him a good mentor though… 🤷♂️
Guys a big part of the elites scripted revolution, it’s all a huge grift that hurts the poor.
