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 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.

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.

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.

Elites inside the country are working together with our enemies overseas to wage emotional and psychological warfare on America's children.

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.
