Today I’m speaking with Erik Prince — former Navy SEAL, founder of Blackwater, and now creator of the Unplugged phone — about the chaos in the Middle East, the rise of private military forces, and what’s really driving conflict between Iran, Israel, and the West. We dig into the role of proxy wars, failed regime change, and the deeper forces behind U.S. foreign policy. But it’s not just about war — we explore how technology is shaping the future of governance, the danger of surveillance capitalism, and why Erik believes decentralization, competition, and faith are key to reclaiming freedom in a collapsing empire.

The reason I like this conversation is this is someone that understands from an advisory capacity, he's worked with the government, the military situation that's |
