00:00:39.720It was a blowout for President Trump and all 13 Super Tuesday primary states and the two caucus states of Utah and Alaska.
00:00:48.560Republican voters across America making their voices heard.
00:00:52.440President Trump they want as our party nominee and they want him back as the 47th president.
00:00:58.880The Biden regime caught once again importing a few hundred thousand more illegals into the country and acknowledging at this time.
00:01:05.640The Marxist regime admitting yesterday they've flown 320,000 illegal immigrants secretly from their home countries to at least 43 airports in the United States.
00:02:24.700I'd love to begin with your worldview right now as all of us are watching, it seems, every region in the world in conflict of some sort.
00:02:33.320Yeah, you know, Lou, I'm generally an optimist, but I can't say I sound like an optimist now because we're now dealing with I think we're in a second Carter administration.
00:02:44.020And if you remember how bad it was from 77 to 81, we are we are in that now between the debacle that was the withdrawal from Afghanistan, our our rivals and our enemies see that and they smell the weakness and the temerity and the timidity.
00:03:06.840And whether you saw what Hamas did with Iranian backing and money and training in Gaza, what what the Iranians are doing now with the Houthis having shut off the the Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea traffic.
00:03:25.000They're now going to pose a significant threat to Egypt as a state.
00:03:32.060You know, there's about half the world's container traffic flows through the Red Sea.
00:03:36.920And that volume now is down by over 90 percent, which has caused the devaluation of even the Egyptian pound, the Egyptian currency, because their economy is about 40 percent dependent on Suez Canal traffic and the tolls from it.
00:03:57.200And so weakening Egypt, the 110 million people with a popular Muslim brotherhood there is very, very dangerous.
00:04:08.060The Muslim brotherhood would be in charge in Egypt right now if it if Sisi had not taken power a few years back.
00:04:14.840So that's another huge problem and any kind of conflict and state failure there.
00:04:21.640Remember, Egypt is four times the size of Syria.
00:04:24.180You had a big immigration migration problem into Europe and elsewhere.
00:04:27.700When Syria melted, Egypt is also at risk of doing that.
00:04:32.000You have Shia, the Iranians sponsoring nonsense in protests and subversion in Bahrain now because you have a Sunni king with with a Shia population.
00:04:46.040And I think you're well on the way to the Iranians driving the United States out of Iraq.
00:04:52.540There was 160, 170, 170 some attacks unleashed against U.S. forces, killing three Georgia reservists in Jordan, even, and largely unanswered by a very feeble, pathetic administration.
00:05:11.780So now, fast forward, well, and then you have Venezuela making trouble, flexing up on its small neighbor, Guyana, Guyana being the only English-speaking country in South America, former British colony.
00:05:30.800And they made one of the largest, Exxon made one of the largest new energy discoveries in the world there.
00:05:35.840Guyana is the fastest growing economy in the world, and now Venezuela has created or recreated a 150-year-old border dispute, claiming that they own 70% of Guyana, including the 70% that has all this oil.
00:05:53.300And so I can see them flexing up and taking bully style that country.
00:06:00.060And again, so the failure, the patheticness of no U.S. credibility and deterrence is bad, and I think it will kind of come to some culmination as soon as May or June of this year, when you have China will likely, because, you know, I say May or June, because that's really when China has the weather window.
00:06:22.460If you're going to do an amphibious invasion into Taiwan, that's kind of when you do it.
00:06:26.020Now, they maybe have more flexibility in the fall because of the Chinese Communist Party's control or at least influence over organized crime in Taiwan.
00:06:39.240There's a large port in the Northeast that would help them.
00:06:42.000But I cannot imagine the Chinese are not going to do some kind of provocation further to go about the retaking of Taiwan because they're never going to have as weak of a government in the United States as they do right now.
00:06:55.520I think they maybe smell or perceive that Trump could actually be elected.
00:07:01.160And so causing as many problems for the United States around the world and internally between now and November is their goal.
00:07:10.280Do you see a similar impetus in terms of Ukraine on the part of Russia and Eastern Europe relating to Trump's likely election?
00:07:22.500I don't see a huge appetite by, I don't think the Russians are going to go further than Ukraine.
00:07:32.360They definitely want to win in their, you know, Putin has to show some success.
00:07:42.020Certainly it hasn't gone as well as he wanted it to.
00:07:43.720But it has, he has to show success because if he doesn't, he has, you know, really what, one of the things that brought down the Soviet Union starting in 1990, 91, was the return of a lot of really pissed off Afghan war veterans.
00:08:00.580And he cannot, he has to show some kind of success to keep those people somewhat on side.
00:08:07.820You know, I think as you give us a tour over, over all of the flashpoints right now on the globe, there is a, obviously a focus on Iran.
00:08:21.320There is a focus on Russia, whether it be Ukraine and the entire region for Iran.
00:08:28.840Where do you think the Iranians are headed here and what is their ultimate motivation?
00:08:36.220And do you believe that the State Department, the national security team, the president holding this office right now, are they aware of the implications of their policies and the likely ramification of what looks to be the worst foreign policy in American history?
00:08:56.880I think, I would characterize them like a boxer that's overwhelmed in their corner, just getting pummeled in body blows and headshots.
00:09:07.740And they're just covering, trying to, trying to protect themselves.
00:09:13.360I think Iran's short to medium term goal would be to obtain nuclear weapons.
00:09:18.280And at that point, the game changes significantly because now they can hold true nuclear, you know, that nuclear pistol to pull when, if anyone threatens to strike back at them.
00:09:37.100That really lets their, that would let them allow their surrogates to really run wild.
00:09:40.660How confident are you, speaking of their nuclear capability, excuse me, or their efforts to achieve one, how confident are you that they already don't have plans to either complete the development of nuclear weapons or to buy nuclear weapons within the next, within the next 12 months?
00:10:02.380I would say their desire and ability to get nuclear weapons is quite high, between developing themselves or what they can buy from Pakistan, from AKU Khan, who's still alive, or even from the North Koreans.
00:10:21.920They, you know, they, you know, their drone technology has done well for the Russians, the Shahid-136.
00:10:28.460The Russians have used those with great effect to the point of building a factory to produce them in, in Russia.
00:10:36.460There's a factory that builds them in Venezuela, in Venezuela as well.
00:10:40.000So the other place you'll see problems flaring up is the same weapons that the Houthis have been using to shut off effectively the Red Sea.
00:10:50.140Those same weapons now sit in Venezuela, long-range anti-ship cruise missiles, long-range ballistic, anti-ship ballistic missiles, and Shahid-136 type attack drones, all of which can threaten traffic coming out of the Red Sea, out of the Panama Canal as well.
00:11:05.540So it is a complete collapse of the Monroe Doctrine and any kind of U.S. credibility, and unfortunately, that's not going to get resolved with diplomacy.
00:11:16.040That will be resolved with blood and iron, unfortunately.
00:11:22.160And the idea that there would be that level of conflict in this hemisphere would be, I think, to most Americans unthinkable.
00:11:33.760But at the same time, it appears that it's entirely within the scale of the trajectory that we've been witnessing here for some several years.
00:11:45.140That is, the movement of Venezuela to both China, to Iran, simultaneously.
00:11:51.640Panama, the Panama Canal is under the effective control of the CCP.
00:11:57.460And to this point, there hasn't been a pressure applied or advantage taken by the Chinese, but that is just one day away if they choose to do so.
00:12:10.660Your thoughts about the strategic vulnerability of the United States in its own hemisphere for the first time in memory?
00:12:18.120Yeah, the foreign policy experts have truly been asleep at the switch.
00:12:23.460The amount of malign influence being pushed by China and Russia and, yes, you said Iran in the Western Hemisphere has been significant.
00:12:31.900And look, the thing that's hitting, it killed 110,000 Americans last year, Lo, it was fentanyl.
00:12:40.820That is not some random illegal drug business.
00:12:43.740That is funded, organized, logistically supported by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:12:49.320The precursor chemicals for those are produced in the Wuhan area, shipped to Venezuela, from there moved to Mexico, where they are fabricated into very high-grade fentanyl.
00:12:59.860Now, normal drug business does not seek to kill their customers because dead customers don't pay.
00:13:07.140But the fact that this level of fentanyl is produced and smuggled in the United States to be attached into pot or other opium products or cocaine, where it's killing tens of thousands of Americans,
00:13:22.380it is an absolute, it is a program done by the communists of China to, almost as an answer to the opium wars 150 years ago, and it's done to undermine and destroy our society.
00:13:36.560And the fact that we have a foreign policy elite that allows this stuff to happen with no consequences is really disgusting, and it must be stopped.
00:13:46.680We're talking with Eric Prince, and we're taking, if you will, a tour of world hotspots, and we will bring this to the point of at least realization, we think, on the part of the Biden administration as we continue this discussion.
00:14:04.720Eric Prince and I will continue this talk in one moment.
00:14:11.480Folks, you know I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis, and when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war, or another disease.
00:14:24.480We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:14:29.700We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:14:35.120With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.
00:14:41.180And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.
00:14:46.840Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske, over at the Wellness Company, have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency kit.
00:14:56.480And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved ones.
00:15:02.140This emergency kit includes eight life-saving medications, including amoxicillin, Z-Pak, and ivermectin for you to keep on hand, along with a guidebook for safe use.
00:15:12.320From tick bites to biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered.
00:15:47.560We're talking about the worldview with Eric Prance, his worldview.
00:15:53.260And it's been a fascinating inspection of some of the various flashpoints in this world of ours.
00:16:02.120Conflict almost seems assured just on a statistical basis when you look at so many areas around the world.
00:16:08.220Eric, I'd like to turn to, again, China and its role in this hemisphere, because, as you point out, they're driving fentanyl into this country.
00:16:18.780They're working with the Mexican drug cartels.
00:16:21.220They produce the precursors, as you said.
00:16:23.520But they are also running, they own that southern border between Mexico and the United States.
00:16:31.760The Biden administration has turned it over.
00:16:34.460But the Chinese have gone one step further.
00:16:37.900They're sending in tens of thousands of Chinese nationals into the United States now.
00:16:42.460And as my friend Peter Swiser has written brilliantly in his new book, Blood Money, they have 300 grow farms in Maine, for crying out loud, fentanyl-laced marijuana, their principal product and distributed product.
00:17:02.360Your thoughts about how the United States should be countering what is clearly, if not an invasion and infiltration, I think it rises to the level of an invasion in this country that has, as you said, has been met by no response of any kind.
00:17:20.240You know, Lou, my view on foreign policy is that about 10% of things can be solved by diplomats, another 10%, maybe by the military, by the uniformed military, because really the job of the uniformed military is to be an amazing, strong, menacing deterrent sitting on the shelf, right?
00:17:42.360And the 80% of the middle is the intelligence world, where through covert action, through organizing the right pressure points in unusual places, can solve these things.
00:17:56.700And we have an intelligence community that's just not serious about its job anymore, that has been highly politicized and weakened.
00:18:04.600And so our enemies take significant advantage of us.
00:18:09.180You know, you've heard of the Havana syndrome.
00:18:12.360Where you had, now we've had hundreds of American diplomats and intelligence people that have been targeted by effectively a microwave type weapon that has caused them what were healthy people the day before, the day after this attack happens, have a documented on a brain scan, TBI, a traumatic brain injury caused by this.
00:18:43.880Yeah, that's the Russians that are doing that.
00:18:45.840And they're allowed to do that because there's never a pushback.
00:18:50.180And if you have Secretary Blinken that goes to China and has a meeting and says, well, it's really not, it's not a CCP funded thing.
00:19:02.320This is actually just some chemicals that got shipped to the wrong location and they just make excuses for it.
00:19:07.140I don't know if it's, is it intentionally that dumb or are they just completely overwhelmed and unqualified for the positions that they sit and now they're all behaving like the boxer that's just ducking and covering, hoping for nicer, kinder times.
00:19:25.040We have serious enemies that want to, to, to, to rearrange the Westphalian order.
00:19:33.800If you listen to the speeches that he's given, there was an excellent article in foreign policy written by Matt Pottinger, the former deputy national security advisor to Trump speaks fluent Mandarin.
00:19:46.740And it talks, and it talks, and she is talking about the job of the Chinese communist party is to overthrow and redo the Westphalian order.
00:19:57.500Now this is going way back to, to kind of the civilian citizens role within the state to reorganize that like the CCP.
00:20:07.680That is a serious threat to our way of life.
00:20:10.460And we have leaders that just can't seem, I mean, all the, all the administration now wants to do is talk to the, the Chinese about climate change, not them, not overthrowing the Westphalian order.
00:20:21.960This is, this is serious business and we don't have serious people in positions of responsibility.
00:20:27.400And it's really, it's really kind of scary.
00:20:29.440And, and the rest of the world is really scared about it as well, because big brother in the United States kind of has his head up its ass.
00:20:38.020You know, you mentioned this is the second term of Jimmy Carter.
00:20:43.480And there are those of us who believe it's also the third term of Barack Obama.
00:20:50.220Neither concept is comforting or assuring.
00:20:54.720As a matter of fact, it's downright frightening.
00:20:56.780We think of the level of competence and the utter ineptitude of these people.
00:21:02.420You mentioned again, we're talking about Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor, Tony Blinken, the secretary of state.
00:21:08.760It doesn't get much worse than that to promote a B team in the Obama administration to the A team later in what is the, is the Biden administration.
00:21:22.600A commander in chief who's impaired, compromised, beyond help.
00:21:27.760And obviously a puppet of Marxist and masters who have a plan that they're not sharing with the rest of the world.
00:21:35.280We can read the, the, read it directionally.
00:21:38.540But this is a, this is a country under, under full assault.
00:21:43.480As you say, the, the world order may be under assault as well, but it seems like if it is indeed under assault, it is with the purpose of creating a totalitarian one world government.
00:21:55.600Not one that will be the, the consequence of which would be freedom and liberty and justice for all.
00:22:03.520It will just simply be a totalitarian government because those are all of the impulses of every, every Marxist right now in the United States, directing both the Democratic Party, the Biden regime and the deep state.
00:22:18.680Yeah, look, who did they send to negotiate with Putin before the invasion of Ukraine?
00:22:25.940They sent Wendy Sherman, okay, the deputy secretary of state.
00:22:30.320Now what qualified her to be an intimidating, convincing threat to Putin?
00:22:37.420No, her previous job before she became a career bureaucrat, state department diplomat, is she was the social worker to, to oppose Putin and Gerasimov.
00:22:49.980You know, Putin is a career KGB officer from the old school that, you know, his enemies tend to fall out of windows.
00:22:58.260Wendy Sherman's enemies, they get a, a, a nastily written, you know, email.
00:23:05.300It's, it's, it's apples and oranges and we have a, an absolute, not even a JV team.
00:23:11.240We like, like a middle school, um, uh, a middle school pickup team versus, uh, professional level enemies.
00:23:19.620And, and they're feeding it to us, um, everywhere and with a goal really of not just re top of toppling the, the world global order, but the monetary order.
00:23:30.800That's what really, that's what's really at risk.
00:23:33.280If they can, if they can destroy the, the credibility of the dollar, then we will, then our society will really go through some wrenching change because a huge amount of our, uh, of our way of life and the affluence that we set, that we, that we enjoy in the United States comes from the dollar being the world's reserve currency.
00:23:53.980And the fact that our fed can, uh, write unlimited checks, um, and, and the world of Congress can just appropriate almost unlimited money.
00:24:07.480There's, there's a yin and yang to that though, because if America finally has to go on a diet and our government will have to be smaller at that point.
00:24:15.220And, uh, and we'll definitely have more Liberty because our government will inevitably be a lot smaller.
00:24:20.960And so, um, uh, I would rather that our leadership put America on the proper diet, um, by political leadership and not one be forced to us by austerity.
00:24:31.460I'm, I'm so heartened to see what melee, the new president of Argentina has done and, and, you know, to see him go through on his campaign trail, uh, and, and all these completely nonsense ministries that he just says out and he's done it and he's doing it.
00:24:49.400It's the equivalent of him cutting like $500 billion in spending in us terms is what he's done in the first three months of his administration.
00:24:57.120God bless the man, any man that campaigns with a chainsaw, I can identify with it.
00:25:01.460Because that's what we need to do is take a big chainsaw to the absolutely hyper bloated U S government and pair it back down to size.
00:25:11.340And Miller is, uh, he has embraced quite literally, uh, uh, president Trump's philosophies, uh, his policies.
00:25:19.620Uh, he gave president Trump a great big hug, but he was at CPAP.
00:25:24.740Uh, the man, uh, the man, uh, obviously adores president Trump, uh, and is, is making good on all of his promises to strip away the, the specious nonsense of both the Marxists, uh, uh, and the Keynesians, uh, in Argentina.
00:25:40.740Uh, it's, it's, it's gladdening to the heart.
00:25:44.700I want to take, I want to take a moment for domestic politics and get your thoughts about the prospects for president Trump, uh, and for writing this country and, uh, overcoming the many wrongs of the Biden, uh, the Biden administration.
00:26:00.420Again, we're talking with Eric Prince, great American.
00:26:45.280We're talking with Eric Prince now, and we're going to turn to Eric now to get his, his assessment of the body politic in the United States.
00:26:56.000What's going on and where we're headed.
00:27:11.940I was actually behind the stage when his vehicle pulled in, uh, his motorcade and he got out and immediately like 30 to 40 El Salvadoran kitchen workers came out of nowhere with handmade signs, just cheering and loving that man.
00:27:29.020It was absolutely beautiful to see because these are people that have been chased out of their homes by leftist criminal gang violence in El Salvador, which made El Salvador the murder capital of the Western hemisphere.
00:27:41.780And Bukele was elected on a camp on a platform of, we're going to lock it down.
00:27:47.580And then he was just reelected with like 85% of the vote.
00:27:51.020And these people were in love with him because he gave them their country back.
00:27:54.960And it is so analogous to why do, why do some people love Trump?
00:27:59.880Because he at least did what he said he was going to do, even though he was lorded in many cases by the deep state.
00:28:07.240And, uh, and it's why I think people are going to elect him again, uh, because the country is worth saving.
00:28:13.080I think, you know, black voters, Hispanic voters realize how good the economy was under Trump, um, and that, uh, he, they appreciate that.
00:28:23.000He knows that there's two genders, not a hundred and, and, and some of the basics, uh, and, and people are sick of seeing their country slip away into this, uh, this leftist pit of, of gang violence, crime, um, poverty and insanity.
00:28:41.240And so, uh, uh, I think he's got a very good shot at being elected.
00:28:46.320I think he needs to win with, with such a super majority that it's impossible for the Dems to steal it.
00:28:53.560And, uh, so he needs to put all those States in play.
00:28:57.240And then, uh, and then once he's, once he's in charge, he needs to really, uh, have a, a very well-made plan to fire and to gut huge parts of our government.
00:29:08.920And if we in control of the house and the Senate, then, then be the thalidomide plan, right?
00:29:16.260The, the, we need to cut off money to huge chunks of these federal agencies.
00:29:21.600There's, we have no obligation to keep funding all these places at the level they are and, and to enact reforms, uh, to actually fire unaccountable bureaucrats.
00:29:32.540I mean, the, you know, the, the runaway federal state really started in, I think in 1983 or four, when there was a Supreme court case and it started, was called the Chevron deference, which, which, because this, the Supreme court case was between Chevron and the national resources defense council.
00:29:50.860And it basically allowed rulemaking by the EPA, by those bureaucrats to have the force of law.
00:29:58.560And the federal bureaucrats took that inch and they've made it many, many miles now generating tens of thousands of pages, a year of new rules.
00:30:09.240With never having been voted on imposed on us by unelected bureaucrats, that's the real constitutional crisis we have, because we're supposed to have three branches of government.
00:30:17.660We have four in the fourth, being unelected, unaccountable, worse than, worse than anything King George of Britain ever did to the colonists.
00:30:25.220That must stop, and it must stop starting in 2025.
00:30:28.740And in two to three weeks, we're going to see, apparently, it appears, that we're going to see at least the possibility of a ruling by the Supreme court on that very issue,
00:30:39.860as to whether or not that rulemaking authority is based on constitutional law, or is absolutely shredding constitutional law.
00:30:48.780And personally, I'm very hopeful that they will come to the right conclusion, because as you say, it has become the fourth branch of this will-be-gone government that the deep state controls now, along with the Marxist Dems.
00:31:08.160So to the point that if he cannot be cheated at this election, that Donald Trump will be elected.
00:31:18.780It is very difficult to believe that there won't be a massive effort to cheat, because we have seen a massive effort through the 2016, the 2020, and now the 2024 effort by those very same intelligence agencies that you mentioned,
00:31:34.360every one of them involved in some fashion in the effort to subvert both the law and also the candidacy of Donald Trump, and then to overthrow his presidency.
00:31:46.400And now we're in the ninth year of his persecution by the Marxist Dems and the deep state.
00:31:53.600What gives you hope that indeed the Republicans are strong enough, that the country right now is strong enough to overcome that force that's been arraged for the past decade?
00:32:05.360I think I have no confidence in Republican leadership.
00:32:10.360I think they've been proven to be weak and ineffective, but I think I see a rising swell of the people that will demand better behavior, different behavior.
00:32:22.440There's a lot of new candidates coming out, a lot of veterans, people that have, you know, when you join the military, you're kind of writing a blank check payable to Uncle Sam, right?
00:32:32.640Because you're saying, I'm offering myself. And so veterans tend to take these things a bit more seriously.
00:32:39.380And the country is worth saving. We stand in the shoulders of giants.
00:32:44.740And I think the old, weak, pathetic, flaccid Republican Party is on the way out.
00:32:52.100Well, I certainly hope that they're on the way out very, very soon, because we need all of the moments remaining to us before November 5th to make certain that this country is once again strongly and well led.
00:33:08.100And there isn't a single Marxist Dem who has signed on to the national interest or this country achieving its destiny.
00:33:18.720Eric, we always give our guests the last word. Your concluding thoughts here today.
00:33:24.500Now is not the time to be passive citizens.
00:33:27.840You need to find 10 people that have not voted, that have given up on voting, whether it's your kids, your parents, your grandparents, your neighbor or coworkers.
00:33:38.380Get them registered, get them educated and get them voting for Republican-related candidates.
00:33:45.600People want to say, well, Civil War, that would be terrible. We must solve this within the scope of the Constitution.
00:33:52.280The Founding Fathers were brilliant, but it's not let them down. Don't let your kids down.
