Erik continues his conversation with Dr. Jack Wheeler, the “real-life Indiana Jones.” After hearing Ronald Reagan speak as a college student at UCLA in 1965, Wheeler immediately volunteered to help if Reagan ever ran for governor of California. This led to him becoming state chairman of Youth for Reagan and establishing lifelong friendships with people who would go on to serve in positions of power and influence in the Reagan White House. Through his world travels, Wheeler noticed an emerging trend of resistance to communist imperialism, and provided crucial intelligence to the Reagan administration that led to the development of the Reagan Doctrine that ultimately defeated the Soviet Union.

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.

ROUND THE WORLD UPDATES – HOUTHI ATTACKS, CHINA INFLUENCE ON UKRAINE WAR, BIDEN CLEARS ILLEGALS

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.

Israel Raid Frees Four 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.

How Taiwan Can DEFEAT China

Erik explains what we should have done differently in Afghanistan, outlining a plan that would have saved trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives while actually eliminating the Taliban. He also discusses his proposal to avert the Russian invasion of Ukraine for less than $1 billion by sending Ukraine obsolete American aircraft - including the A-10, which was designed to take on the very same tanks Russia used in its invasion.

The episode concludes with Erik's strategy for replacing the failed Neocon ideology with a common-sense approach to foreign policy: Make our enemies fear us, our friends love us, and our rivals respect us.

Losing on Purpose: The Neocon Strategy is Designed to Fail

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.
