Stephen K. Bannon and Eric Prince join host Stephen K. to discuss the latest in the war on terror, the release of the Yemenis, the Iran deal, and much, much more. Plus, the usual nonsense.
00:02:35.000Look, there's a, there's a, when you look at how the U.S. treated terrorism or even subversion from Nazis or Japanese,
00:02:46.000uh, or even Soviet agents during World War II, they were tried, they were executed.
00:02:52.000Um, I don't know that the military, I don't know why military tribunals can't get to that point.
00:02:57.000I mean, we're still holding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the admitted, um, mastermind of the entire 9-11 plot.
00:03:04.000And we just allowed him to plea, uh, to some, to some plea, which will take death penalty off the table.
00:03:11.000We need to have a, a, a much greater clarity and surety of what happens to our enemies when they, and when they endeavor to destroy or kill Americans.
00:03:22.000Okay. Um, well said, uh, the, the Zelensky Sunday night came out and said, just blunt, no peace negotiations are going to make sense.
00:03:37.000It didn't even make sense to sit down unless the Europeans and Zelensky's regime in Ukraine has an American security guarantee that they have an ironclad security guarantee from the United States of America.
00:03:51.340And they, they left it that open-ended, but that means to me, uh, unlimited amount of money we put up to do this.
00:03:57.780But more importantly, young American men and women in uniform, uh, as a security force, uh, in Ukraine essentially held hostage.
00:04:10.640Uh, first of all, the U.S. forces probably need to be redeployed to secure our Southern border from the illegal migrant and fentanyl invasion that we're under now.
00:04:19.560But here's the thing. Zelensky is not even a legitimate figure to be negotiating with anymore.
00:04:23.880The Russians don't even view him because Zelensky has canceled the last election that we're supposed to be last May.
00:04:30.380Uh, I don't think the Russians will even negotiate in good faith until they have a counterparty that can actually bind the Ukrainian state.
00:04:37.840So I'd say he is trying to position himself to prolong this thing forever.
00:04:43.840Uh, because when peace is obtained, Zelensky is gone and out of power.
00:04:48.180The fact is there's going to be another election.
00:04:51.000I understand it's scheduled, uh, in April or May of this year.
00:04:55.940Sadly, the slaughter will continue until then, but there will be a presidential election.
00:05:00.220Zelensky is positioning himself to be the only candidate, but there will be some other competent ones.
00:05:04.720And the other competent ones will actually run on a peep on a peace platform because the Ukrainian people by and large are done with the mindless slaughter.
00:05:13.640What is your recommendation of President Trump?
00:05:19.400You know, the, you know, the region, you know, the players, what's your recommendation of President Trump or how he should, because he's got to get drawn into that immediately.
00:05:26.440What should be his angle of attack on this, sir?
00:05:28.640Look, you can't show complete, um, uh, readiness to, to roll over for whatever the Russians want.
00:05:37.060But the fact is the Russians are tired.
00:05:40.600Uh, the, the Russian economy is not doing fantastic.
00:05:43.720Um, and it is in the interest, what is in the interest of the United States government is to pull Russia away from the orbit, from the, um, uh, the cozy relationship that they've been pushed into with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:06:28.140America is our concern and, and American, uh, security and, and, uh, survival is in our interest.
00:06:36.980You've been one of the architects of the America first, by the way, my production team here, just give me a heads up when the president works out.
00:06:43.180Um, you were awaiting the president of the United States.
00:06:46.720President Trump or the president elected to the United States, President Trump to come out, going to do a press conference from Mar-a-Lago, Brian Glenn, Real America's Voice for their live.
00:06:54.860Uh, since you're one of the architects of America first, you've got the Persians on their back foot because the IDF took down, uh, took a big slug of Hezbollah and sent them to the, through the, out of this veil of tears.
00:07:07.640The Persians are on their back foot, but they're expediting, getting, uh, plutonium grade, weapons grade material, uh, for a nuclear weapon.
00:07:16.240You've got, uh, Erdogan in the Muslim Brotherhood are, have seen an opening here with the collapse of Syria.
00:07:22.620Uh, they're trying to reestablish the Ottoman Empire and the Caliphate to eventually take over the two holy sites, uh, Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
00:07:31.500What is your recommendation of President Trump, uh, for the, for the, for the, the absolute mess we have in the Middle East and to avoid American combat troops, sir?
00:07:40.740Well, first of all, they need to make it very clear who are agents of Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood in and around Washington spreading Muslim Brotherhood propaganda.
00:07:52.040Um, B, um, any kind of massive external strike against Iran, uh, tends to actually strengthen the regime.
00:08:01.300People will group together, uh, the best way to take down the mullahs is internally.
00:08:07.500They are not, not popular in, at all in their own country.
00:08:11.440And so I would argue for what the, what the Catholic Church and the CIA did to the, uh, the Communist Party in Poland in the 80s, providing the means to communicate, to organize for all the alternate centers of power.
00:08:25.300The, the, the Baluch, the Akwazi, the Kurds, uh, the Azeris inside of Iran, uh, not to mention the students, the women's groups, the environmental groups, the labor groups, all those alternate centers of power that don't like the mullahs.
00:08:41.980That's how you, uh, put the mullahs even more on their back feet or preferably in the ground.
00:08:48.820The Qatar's money and influence with the Muslim Brotherhood in Washington is a pretty open secret, right?
00:08:54.600Nobody will shut it down, but it's open secret.
00:08:58.260Qatar is also now one of the financiers of Erdogan.
00:09:01.660Did they see that, does Qatar see, uh, not the Persians, but the Qatar see the Turks as the horse to ride here for the return of the caliphate, Eric?
00:09:11.960Uh, the fact is the Turks are the ones that sent troops to back up, um, uh, the Qatari government.
00:09:19.040There are Turkish troops guaranteeing that security.
00:09:21.540Um, yes, the Turkish economy is not great at all.
00:09:25.980Uh, there is actually a viable Turkish opposition.
00:09:29.360Uh, those folks should be reached out to and strengthened.
00:09:33.060Um, but yes, I don't think the, the Qataris are not going to ride the, the, the horse of the, uh, of the hidden imam and the, and the mullahs.
00:09:41.340Uh, they will definitely, uh, have definitely thrown in with the Turks and, and, and, and, you know, when you see what Erdogan has been saying, even for the last five, eight years, when he talks about the greater Ottoman Empire and he shows maps that show it, including Syria, Northern Iraq, even parts of Bulgaria, other parts of, um, uh, places that are clearly not, not, not part of Turkey.
00:10:08.080He, he is definitely has, uh, the appetite to, uh, to grow the Ottoman, uh, reach.
00:10:14.060Should the Muslim Brotherhood, we tried it in the first, uh, term.
00:10:17.240And I tell people of all the successes we had, my one absolute abject failure was trying to get the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist organization.
00:10:24.900Should President Trump do that in the first days of his second term, sir?
00:10:32.380There's a lot of, um, a lot of voices around him that will counsel against that.
00:10:36.280Um, but he should, uh, but there's a lot of other ways to, uh, to curtail their freedom of movement.
00:10:42.820And again, that's what having a properly run, uh, CIA and covert action would provide.
00:10:49.460Um, I hope that's the, I hope that's the team that he's assembled this time.
00:10:53.060Uh, Eric, uh, about CIA covert action, paramilitary operations, he is going to, we do know he's going to designate the Mexican cartels, the drug and human trafficking cartels, as terrorist organizations.
00:11:07.900How would that change our angle of attack, uh, against the cartels once they're designated as a terrorist organization, sir?
00:11:14.620Uh, look, the fact is the cartels are the significant power in the Mexican state.
00:11:21.460Now, um, they can pretty much dictate terms to Claudia Scheinbaum.
00:11:27.720Uh, but the best way to really hurt them, uh, not just to kill them, but to actually go after their money and, uh, seizing it, seizing the cash houses, um, taking the, uh, the big money out of, um, uh, when you look at the,
00:11:44.620at a kilo of Coke, uh, from where it's grown somewhere in South America to when it actually makes it, uh, to the streets, it's, uh, it's, uh, a hundred to a thousand times value accretion.
00:11:58.460Uh, but the people that make the most of that, uh, you know, cause the, what the Mexican cartels have really learned, they vertically integrated.
00:12:05.100They learned from what the Colombian cartels built on, uh, and the Mexican cartels have vertically integrated into the transportation and distribution of the entire value chain.
00:12:16.120And that's why they make so much money.
00:12:17.860So going after their money and actually delivering consequences to some of the cartel leaders will at least start to, um, uh, diminish.
00:12:25.700You're not going to ever, uh, remove their power.
00:12:28.200And that's always the, it's the catch 22 I've, I, you know, years ago, actually when Chuck Colson was alive, I visited death row in Texas.
00:12:35.960And I asked these guys who were locked up 24 hours a day in their cells, could they still get drugs and they can.
00:12:43.100So the fact is, as long as there's a demand in the United States, there's going to be a supply and elicit one.
00:12:49.720And I don't think legalizing drugs is the answer, but definitely, uh, curtailing the worst actors that are using actual terror on the Mexican society as part of their business plan.
00:13:01.140They have to be made to feel those consequences, uh, and to scale it back.
00:13:07.800Before I let you go, um, I want to, the Colombian example, yes, you've got to stop the money.
00:13:12.780And there's a lot of people in the U S a lot of political figures, uh, particularly down on the border areas, uh, judges that there's tremendous corruption.
00:13:24.300You got to go off to the big banks, but like in Columbia, is there a point in time that you actually have to have paramilitary interdiction to start taking parts of the operation down?
00:13:37.920Are we at that point that after we do the money and everything like that, since the federales in the Mexican government is compromised and people know this, we've got to start talking truth about this.
00:13:48.680Do you, Eric Prince recommend paramilitary interdiction into the nation of Mexico to take down the Mexican drug cartels?
00:13:58.140Any and all means to push back has to be on the table.
00:14:01.940And that would include, uh, lethal access.
00:14:31.440That's just the reality of it because that is the, that is the nature of humanity, putting somebody that earns $50,000, um, doing inspections.
00:14:43.040And now someone will offer them another $50,000 a month to look the other way.
00:14:47.460Of course, some of the people are going to take that deal.
00:14:49.320So, uh, I'll let you go just one more time back to Ukraine.
00:14:54.120If you're a hard no on American troops in a security detail to guarantee the security of Ukraine, what then would be your recommendation for President Trump as he tries to negotiate a peace?
00:15:33.040Uh, has IDF, has IDF cleaned out the combat brigades in Gaza and are they prepared to go clean them out, the combat brigades of the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas in Judea, Samaria, sir?
00:15:49.000Look, they still haven't finished the problem in Gaza.
00:15:55.140There's 100 hostages, 64 they think are alive.
00:15:59.620Uh, the rest, the, the Hamas is just holding the dead bodies.
00:16:03.040Um, so yeah, the, the whole Gaza thing is not, is far from resolved.
00:16:08.020I think they're hoping that a Trump administration with a bigger threat, with a threat of, of, of a bigger pushback will finally resolve that problem.
00:16:17.280But, uh, no, Gaza is not finished, nor is, um, is any other clean out of the other, uh, West Bank territories.
00:16:26.820Uh, Eric, you were going to be the, uh, what we called the viceroy for Afghanistan.
00:16:30.960You had a plan to get us out of Afghanistan starting in 2017.
00:16:34.800It wasn't executed because of McMaster's and the rest of the deep state.
00:16:38.460Are you prepared if President Trump asks you to go in and actually take an active role in the second, uh, second term?
00:16:46.260If the president asked for my help, I would certainly provide it.
00:16:51.480Eric Prince, how do people get to your podcast?
00:16:54.820The podcast is called Off Leash with Eric Prince, and it's on, um, X, uh, it, uh, you can also find me at real, I'm sorry, uh, real Eric D Prince on Twitter.
00:17:08.780And, um, you should also check out Unplugged, which is our new phone.
00:17:14.800Uh, we just sold through our first 10,000, thanks to the early adapters of the war room.
00:17:20.280Uh, we have, um, we just got our second 10,000 in and we'll be in Best Buy, uh, by the end of this month.
00:17:27.260So, yeah, the unplugged phones are going great.
00:17:29.440If people are sick of, uh, giving all their data to big tech, um, they can get an unplugged phone and have data sovereignty and privacy once again.
00:17:38.840Uh, where do they go to get the, uh, unplugged?
00:20:56.060They're recommending a special prosecutor or special counsel to be set up.
00:21:02.080And they're also, he and Boyle both saying something else quite profound that doesn't need to be attached to the Justice Department like Jack Smith was
00:21:10.860in kind of reporting to the Justice Department.
00:21:12.880Pam Bondi and Cash Patel are going to have their hands full.
00:21:17.080I mean, Cash particularly has to restructure the FBI.
00:21:21.620I'm of the strong belief, number one, it's so far off from its original course, but you have a law enforcement situation.
00:21:29.480Then you have a counterterrorism, counterintel, intelligence apparatus that they just don't normally fit.
00:21:35.940And I think that's got to be broken apart because you've got to get the counterintel and the counterterrorism.
00:21:52.560So given the Pam, and even with that fantastic team of lawyers who are very familiar with President Trump around her,
00:22:00.840the heavy lift they've got in the Justice Department is massive.
00:22:04.680And it's going to be fought every step of the way.
00:22:07.340Folks, this is one of the things we're trying to get sure that people understand that these are going to be fought every step of the way.
00:22:11.760And so it is incumbent, we think, that a special counsel, special prosecutor, be set up and be set up immediately in the first days of President Trump's second term.
00:22:22.300And if that has to be run by the White House counsel or report into the White House, so be it.
00:22:31.340Once again, to go back to this theory of the unified executive, this is different than when you had Dick Cheney and these guys.
00:22:40.860Theirs was more about the legislative branch and the judicial branch.
00:22:44.280Our theory, what we're trying to make sure is done now in President Trump's term, just deals with the executive branch.
00:22:52.740Now, obviously, it's how it interacts with particularly with the legislative.
00:22:56.660But when you say unified theory, it's just to make sure that we make the – not just make the case, but you execute upon the following idea out of the Constitution that the president, the opposite president, is the chief executive to the government, number one.
00:23:11.820And all executive matters go back to them and their appointees.
00:23:16.340That's why you have this confirmation process with the 1,000 confirmation that the Senate, as the Human Resources Department, independent, gets to sign off on or at least gives your – they give their advice and consent.
00:23:29.340Then you have the 3,000 that you just put in that need – basically need a security clearance and obviously other vetting.
00:23:37.480The second is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and this has to be sorted out.
00:23:41.960But President Trump – and that's why we've argued that General Milley has to be called to active duty in a military tribunal under USMJ.
00:23:50.000A court-martial has to take place for Milley.
00:23:52.960And I also believe Esper then has to be brought up probably not in a military court since he's a civilian.
00:23:58.680But we've got to get sorted what happened back in the summer and fall of 2020 and then after the election.
00:24:06.520When people say, we've got so much going on, how do you do that?
00:24:08.720Well, look, you know what? We're going to have to parallel process things.
00:24:11.220This has to be done. You can't look away from these things.
00:24:15.380So that's number two is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, to make sure the uniformed services understand that the office of the president, the commander-in-chief, President Trump,
00:24:24.580but I don't care if it's Bernie Sanders or AOC later on, that the way the Constitution is structured, they're the commander-in-chief.
00:24:31.420And that's why the American people have the ability to not vote them into office,
00:24:36.860and particularly when you make sure the American people understand exactly what their jobs are, like they're commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
00:24:44.420I think AOC will have a tough time reaching the White House if that's presented to the American people with their job.
00:24:49.240Number three, this gets back to Watergate.
00:24:52.420It gets back to the post-Watergate Justice Department, which has spun out of control and become an independent power.
00:25:52.180President Trump, you see right there on the screen, if you're viewing with us this morning on the streaming of Real America's Voice or Getter or Rumble, any of our different platforms.
00:26:01.660If you watch it in the TV version, you see right there.
00:26:04.460That's the famous store at Mar-a-Lago, I believe.
00:26:07.140Don't have my glasses on, so I'm kind of winging this.
00:26:09.200If you're listening to us, President Trump is going to give a press conference.
00:26:16.220He's going to come out and make a couple of statements.
00:26:17.720There's a lot going on and then answer some questions.
00:26:20.740One of the things most important, and I think we're winning this fight, giving advice to President Trump as we do, unexpurgated with the bark on.
00:26:29.100And we're very concerned about day one and going forward.
00:26:32.840He's got shock and awe executive order.
00:26:34.360He's got all these great things he's working on.
00:26:36.520One of the things on the legislative side, we're a huge advocate of the two bills, not one.
00:26:40.740If you get the two instruments of reconciliation that you can use to essentially avoid the filibuster.
00:29:18.120I think it's very important that we get a win, get a victory out of the box with a smaller, tighter, more succinct bill that focuses on the border, that focuses on immigration, that focuses on the deportations, that also talks about energy, unleashing energy, actually codify it.
00:30:06.780And I'm thrilled to announce today that DeMack will be investing at least $20 billion over a very short period of time into the United States.
00:30:18.860And they may go double or even somewhat more than double that amount of money.
00:32:54.320So, Hussein, we're going to work with you and make sure everything goes smoothly.
00:32:58.160We have powers that haven't really been used in terms of environmental.
00:33:02.520If you invest over a billion dollars in the United States, we're going to give expedited reviews to everybody
00:33:09.660because everyone's afraid they're going to come in and get caught in the quagmire, which is very prevalent in the United States, unfortunately.
00:33:17.460The quagmire of environmental and various other regulations and rules.
00:33:20.800And I made it a point of telling people if you invest a billion dollars or more, and we'll do this for people with far less, too.
00:33:54.520So I've been a victim of that myself over the years, and I think I know all the games and all the tricks that are played.
00:34:02.320And much of it is just done to stop progress.
00:34:06.440So we're going to be helping you and everybody else that comes to the United States and wants to invest their money,
00:34:12.280that you don't get tied up for the rest of your life and you can't do anything.
00:34:15.660This commitment further underscores that many of the greatest business leaders on Earth are seeing a very bright economic future for America.
00:34:24.520Since the election, as you know, a lot of positive things have happened.
00:34:31.560We are inheriting a difficult situation from the outgoing administration, and they're trying everything they can to make it more difficult.
00:34:42.000Inflation is continuing to rage, and interest rates are far too high.
00:34:47.160And I've been disappointed to see the Biden administration's attempt to block the reforms of the American people and that they voted for.
00:34:57.040They just — we had a landslide election.
