This podcast has real potential, Only one thing for the love of god ( stop interrupting your guests ) Everyone enjoys joe rogan’s podcast because he gives the guests so much attention and he listens and rarely talk, please Bryan we know ur smart and know stuff, just let the guests outshine u and be curious it’ll make this pod so much better
I like Bryan but he just doesn’t have the timing & even as a frequent guest on Louder with Crowder it drove me crazy..Maybe he will learn to listen and when to talk and not talk but idk
I tell you that it grinds my gears that most people do NOT know we had other people from other countries who joined with us to fight in our American Revolutionary War! The people who are so adamant about tearing down America and what she stands for, do a TERRIBLE DISSERVICE to those brave men!! I am a huge ❤of Mr. Erik Prince BECAUSE of his command of United States and world history. He speaks with authority yet, humbly. We could stand to have MORE Erik Princes!!
The good fight is at our doorstep, As a time of cleansing and deliverance draws near, A crow told me as he stared into my eyes, As i came through the pass and down into the valley gazing at a beautiful sunset and 2 beautiful rainbows afterr a brief shower the first rainbow gave me a sense of dome and unbearable loss and grief and i cried uncontrollably, The second rainbow gave me a sanse of calm and rejoice and peace still crying giving thanks All the way home. TRUE STORY
I had the privilege to meet and have coffee with Erik's sister, Betsy DeVos, when she visited our coffee shop/roastery in WV while she was Secretary of Education. Her visit actually prompted a Cancel Culture event when our local Leftists got upset that we would dare serve her, let alone post on Facebook about it, lol. Well, as good business owners, we treat all our guests with honor and dignity regardless which party they belong to. Not to mention that we were (and are) enthusiastic supporters of Trump, his Administration and all the great things he did for our Country while President. Those was our best years in business. Now, we are struggling and barely treading water under the Biden economy. We need Trump back! Hey, Bryan. Could we work a deal for us to be a coffee sponsor on your Podcast? That would be an awesome opportunity for us! We've been fresh roasting and serving the best coffee in WV for 18 years. And we ship!
Erik Prince was on the Shawn Ryan show twice (episode 29, episode 76). He's a wealth of knowledge, and his ability to convey it to others is impeccable.
I say this every time I see Erik Prince interviewed, Prince would be the greatest SecDef this country ever had if a President had the balls to appoint him to that position.
E. Prince is doing shady bussines with Russians in Africa,that is why he tells fairytales about "russian fear of NATO",and conveniently lefting out the real reason why Russia invaded Ukraine. I am afraid USA is lost if you have choice between warmongers like Trump(war with Iran,Hesbollah,Hamas and Yemen),and woke morons like Biden&Democrats. You are screwed either way.
We were in Afghanistan fighting for 20 years and they couldn’t even hold a secure airport for a week as we were leaving. how much longer do we need to send our military guys over there and send them home dear or disabled before we decide to leave? We gave them 20 years and that is enough.
Well, we're no longer in afghanistan cause the poppy fields the US were guarding pre fentenyl explosion are now not nearly as profitable. So they cut bait faster than anything ive ever seen. Most US troops in the middle east are their because israel wants them there.
It wasn’t a secure airport. We left the secure airport in the middle of the night and forced our service members to face an unwinnable situation. Our military leaders and president own that.
Oh please don't get dramatic. It did NOT happen in one night and after 20 years they couldn't secure an airport? Sorry, but after 20 years I expect more and if they can't do it now they will never be able to do it and I don't care who the President is. . @@meatthenole5601
Prince says that Blackwater can't be used by some future bad guy... weren't they in Iraq? Doesn't he know that there were no weapons of mass destruction? Or am I thinking of a different organization?
‘People fail to grasp the reality that prominent families and big corporations who make their fortune from wars would like nothing else in this world but for wars to continue, if possible, until the end of times.’ - Definitely not Sun Tzu War is horrible but profitable enterprise. - 100% military-industrial complex
@@dananorth895 one things for certain, an oversized government can’t police any corp well. Thats what we’ve seen. Now corps have the power to police citizens in unconstitutional ways and the bloated gov’t is a collection of corrupted crooked weenies that are not at all concerned for the best of the country. Is WEF a corp?
I want it large enough to end the tyrannies of global corporations and warlords, yet small enough that free enterprise runs the economy...rather than Leviathan.
Erik Prince and Vivek Ramaswamy for 16 years of swapping places with each President and Vice President would be the best thing America has seen since the Bill of Rights
I second that, but do believe we owe Trump a vote. He has uncovered a ton for us all and has gone through 8 + years of hell. Just like Elon, he has sacrificed a lot to improve our republic. He was too new his first term and still did a good job. Term 2 will be much better, but yeah Vivek and Eric get on it.
@@slime8177that’s technically not exactly true. The reality is that everybody under Eric and is command were all vets who had served directly for the armed forces and then served again as official government contractor’s essentially doing a similar job to what they were already doing previously as under this perpetual contingency op that was the shit show in the Middle East. My cousin did this sort of work as well so when I think of mercs I think of something similar but would be completely open to working for a foreign state or essentially anybody willing to pay regardless of previous affiliation
I thought I was on the left most of my life, and I never would have thought I would agree so much with people like this. Big thank you to both of you. I hope we can clean up this big mess somehow
I find it so amusing when people talk about how horrible social media is and how it can “ruin your life”. I’m 43 years old and Iraq/ Afghanistan combat veteran with 7 deployments. I’ve been married 24 years with 2 sons 23 and 13 and I’ve never had tweeter or instachap or bookface and my life is awesome so apparently I’m one of the few that doesn’t feed the beast only to be consumed by a huge appetite
Thank you so much for your service. I know that's a big cliche but I'm a elderly grandmother with generations of military experience for this country and just want you to know we pray for you all.
One question: if someone order's you to do something you know or strongly suspect is wrong do you still do it or exercise your sovereignty and refuse? This is the question we all need to ask ourselves going forward.
I been noticing Tai Lopez's mentor Joel Salatin, a big farmer, increasingly on social media. Regardless what people think of Lopez, Salatin's a legitimate force of nature.
@@restoredaccessJoel is the Regenerative Farmer, not a big farmer! Polyface Farms does not do row cropping, as far as I know. I have studied his methods since 2010.
How many dirty deeds have been justified with "I was just doing my job?" That's not meant to pick on contractors, or even military men. It could apply to anyone.
I love when Mr Prince is on anything he has so much knowledge about current events but also history he is taught me so much and I think he would be a great presidential candidate The experience he has the connections the knowledge the common sense and he knows what works because he's a man of history and doesn't want history to repeat itself like it is nowadays and people are oblivious that it's happening. Great podcast keep it up Bryan I love that he said he's one of the most misunderstood men in America for Erik keep up the great work love this!
Sam was the only guy who stuck by Bryans side when he was cancelled. Now Sam has a professional duck watcher sitting in the seat next to him. Thanks a lot Bryan CaLLLLLLLLen. So many L’s he had to leave the show.
Erik epitomizes the warrior and American fighting spirit. BTW he neglected to mention that once Whittmore emptied his weapons he drew his sword and attacked until he was shot and subdued. Never quit, keep fighting the good fight.
Was glad a lot of my questions are now resolved. Knowing long before Trump was saying fake mews i knew better than to buy into any of the narrative mainstream news was painting about Blackwater or anything else for that matter.
Militias used to be important as well, before private contractors. But now, they are looked upon as Terrorists, meanwhile military contractors, with their own private army work hand in hand with the government and the secret three letter agencies
They are still terrorists and governments for using them and wasting tax monies and mis spenditure on complete evil that only benefits the elites.. Shocking this has not been in the media and plastered around the world.. Only the God fearing would never go to such low levels.. Keep far away from these people.. I would have zero dealings with anyone who deals with war and profits from war and should be illegal.
A comedian...this nobody has been around forever. Not ONCE has he ever made me laugh. I don't understand his longevity. I'd rather suffer through every season of Bojack Horseman than hear his grating voice.
I'm looking forward to listening to this. A multi trillion dollar industry that gets all its profits from the taxpayers,cannot and could not afford to let wars stop. Profit from war in any way,should be a crime against humanity.
Lol on the school of choice conversation. My liberal brother in law bashed school of choice fast forward a year after Devos took control he uses school of choice and no admittance of being wrong on the subject. Not a word
This is one of the most impressive humans in his field. Thats why the govt would never select him to a key position in the military. The grift must continue unabated
So when Trump bashes the military industrio complex and the nicky haley donors, he talks about erik prince and alikes. By the way erik is a donor for haley. So when he talks about oil and copper in Afghanistan and that american corporation should get it not the afghani people or Afghanistan no plainright say it it's ours and you wonder why nobody likes you. You're proud to bully a country get its ressources and enslave people😂😂😂😂
I agree with Prince 90% of the time but his omissions and distortions re Israel are disturbing. Saying that Qatar's financial support of Hamas is the reason behind campus backlash is ridiculous. When interviewed, students say their reason is that Israel is murdering thousands of Palestinians (true). The UN recently concluded that Israel is conducting genocide (true). If you want to look at a great example of "buying inflence the old-fashioned way" (Prince's words), go no further than the Israel lobby in the U.S., which he never mentions. 98% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their general election races in 2022. Joe Biden is by far their biggest recipient with over $5 million. Benjamin Netanyahu has bragged about his ability to easily control America. Qatari influence is a nothing in comparison.
Joining the military doesnt in itself make a person moral, it depends on the character of the country & its leaders but, the u.s. is NOT a moral country and, its leaders are even worse..... also, u.s. soldiers are not volunteers: they are paid professionals. In the words of Major General Smedly Butler, U.S.M.C. - " War is a racket, it always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." Here is how he describes his service- "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents"- Understand, this man was the most highly decorated soldier in his life time and i believe the most decorated combat soldier ever but he came to realise the truth: the u.s. is an empire, we steal whole countries and since just 1950 we have killed approx. 31,000,000 people around the world and none of them were a threat to us.
Ok so why didnt Betsy fix it? Taiwan is lots of money under democracy, free state. So why does China want to take over and cut that all off. Seems like he' s cutting off his toes. A lot of money was from Hong Kong , how is it doing now?
The reason you are called mercenary is because you are paid killers. Posing as US Military yet unfettered by its rules/laws. Your mercs also make 6fig on a 2mo mission.. meanwhile the US soldiers pay is beyond an insult. And I'd like to know if Mr. Pince accepts contracts from 'other' countries. If he's ever played both sides like his clients tend to do.
Bryan, been a fan since like the mid 2000's, and became a big fan around 2010 with JRE. Just have to say I love the new podcast and guests (shawn ryan show inspiration?) and I'm stoked your doing your own thing. Also, big ups to Erik, dudes a total stud and is an incredible human. dudes so generous and almost no one knows
Good God Bryan stop Hollywooding this guy, he doesn't need THAT much air up his ass! Just be nice and have a conversation. I'm 11 minutes in and its still just a compliment!
E. Prince is doing shady bussines with Russians in Africa,that is why he tells fairytales about "russian fear of NATO",and conveniently lefting out the real reason why Russia invaded Ukraine.

Today is July 5, 2024. Presidential candidate and former President Trump has come out and said he would be willing to broker a peace deal at any point before he is elected, but especially if he does get elected. Putin comes out and agrees that that is what he would be willing to listen to, and there is crickets from the media.
24 minute mark talking about putting Afghan's to work and using their resources wouldn't make any money for the contractors which the last 15 years of Afghanistan was about. The other problem was the State Department.
Pretty good interview, the thing people that are interviewing guests need to remember. Do not interrupt the guest when they are talking. Bad flow of an interview can ruin it if it becomes a distraction. Erik is one of those people that you can listen to all day.
You gotta Love an Intelligent person. Man or Woman who use Common Sense and Humility to Serve for the Betterment of Humanity. They have my support, love and prayers to bring Peace on Earth. ❤❤❤
Bryan seems to be fixated with war now.
I guess it's understandable for someone that was born during the Civil War.
He grew up in the middle east.
@@krazykarlI think you’d be surprised ….

Great interview 🤙🇺🇸
I wonder what Major General Smedley Butler would think of Prince.
No! by making money & control! Military Industrial Complex & US politicians
Afganistan has zero oil actually. But it's still nice to keep 'em busy. 🙄
Civilian Warriors is an excellent book by Erik Prince. His story in his words one of the best books I’ve ever read.
I had the privilege to meet and have coffee with Erik's sister, Betsy DeVos, when she visited our coffee shop/roastery in WV while she was Secretary of Education.

That's where I first heard him. Great episodes. Could listen to Eric all day.
Great at plundering
Thanks for the info, I want to watch more Mr Prince.
War is a racket

KaBoom😂
Well Prince should know.
The quote was originated by USMC general Smedley Butler.
WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

I say this every time I see Erik Prince interviewed, Prince would be the greatest SecDef this country ever had if a President had the balls to appoint him to that position.
100%
Only Trump has the balls to hire him
Amen. Bryan started off this interview the right way. Everyone has the wrong idea about this guy. He would do great things for this country.

Joining the military doesnt in itself make a person moral, it depends on the character of the country & its leaders but, the u.s. is NOT a moral country and, its leaders are even worse..... also, u.s. soldiers are not volunteers: they are paid professionals.
In the words of Major General Smedly Butler, U.S.M.C. -
" War is a racket, it always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives."
Here is how he describes his service-
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents"- Understand, this man was the most highly decorated soldier in his life time and i believe the most decorated combat soldier ever but he came to realise the truth: the u.s. is an empire, we steal whole countries and since just 1950 we have killed approx. 31,000,000 people around the world and none of them were a threat to us.
The final arch from Bryan into far right bootlicking. Oh how the mighty have fallen. To think I thought Bryan was a good dude…
Ok so why didnt Betsy fix it? Taiwan is lots of money under democracy, free state. So why does China want to take over and cut that all off. Seems like he' s cutting off his toes. A lot of money was from Hong Kong , how is it doing now?
Erik Prince for SecDef or SoCom
The reason you are called mercenary is because you are paid killers. Posing as US Military yet unfettered by its rules/laws. Your mercs also make 6fig on a 2mo mission.. meanwhile the US soldiers pay is beyond an insult. And I'd like to know if Mr. Pince accepts contracts from 'other' countries. If he's ever played both sides like his clients tend to do.
Incredible podcast with an outstanding guest.
Hey Bryan, great guest. First time listener. Wish you didn't cut off him off so much! Just an idea for next time. Could listen to him speak for hours
Bryan, been a fan since like the mid 2000's, and became a big fan around 2010 with JRE. Just have to say I love the new podcast and guests (shawn ryan show inspiration?) and I'm stoked your doing your own thing. Also, big ups to Erik, dudes a total stud and is an incredible human. dudes so generous and almost no one knows
Hasn't China slipped a few thousand fighting age men into the U.S.? The Taiwan scenario may be what's being prepared here as well. Food for thought.
Eric Prince, third interview. Twice on Shawn Ryan.
He’s the real deal, no joke.
Can definitely get the job done. God Bless America
💪🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
What does an invisible magic sky-daddy have to do with the world’s largest arms exporter?
Good God Bryan stop Hollywooding this guy, he doesn't need THAT much air up his ass! Just be nice and have a conversation. I'm 11 minutes in and its still just a compliment!
Please Trump make Erik a National Security Adviser.
Is he gonna make fun of troops and vets like him?
@@phettywappharmaceuticalsll8842 I don’t follow? Seems like no one in office now has read a history book or been out of this country.
E. Prince is doing shady bussines with Russians in Africa,that is why he tells fairytales about "russian fear of NATO",and conveniently lefting out the real reason why Russia invaded Ukraine. I am afraid USA is lost if you have choice between warmongers like Trump(war with Iran,Hesbollah,Hamas and Yemen),and woke morons like Biden&Democrats. You are screwed either way.
@@phettywappharmaceuticalsll8842 is that in reference to the stuff Biden was just saying because that was debunked as another Biden line
Today is July 5, 2024. Presidential candidate and former President Trump has come out and said he would be willing to broker a peace deal at any point before he is elected, but especially if he does get elected. Putin comes out and agrees that that is what he would be willing to listen to, and there is crickets from the media.
BRYAN CALLEN IS STEPPING UP HIS GAME TENFOLD HAVING ERIK PRINCE ON HIS SHOW!
Eric Prince would be one of the greatest War lords history has ever seen... if it all went to shit tomorrow
Erik is a very smart dude. This is a good conversation.
24 minute mark talking about putting Afghan's to work and using their resources wouldn't make any money for the contractors which the last 15 years of Afghanistan was about. The other problem was the State Department.
you will always be relevant to me Bryan, thanks for all the lessons and entertainment over the years.
Pretty good interview, the thing people that are interviewing guests need to remember. Do not interrupt the guest when they are talking. Bad flow of an interview can ruin it if it becomes a distraction. Erik is one of those people that you can listen to all day.
Erik Prince for President!!!
Stay out of other countries business.
Brian callen is the GRAPEST!! 😂
You should talk less in your podcasts. Your interruptions in this one could have prevented relevant information from being shared.
Bryan just needs to chill on the rambling monologues and let the guest talk more, I like tbis though
This man could be President.
You gotta Love an Intelligent person. Man or Woman who use Common Sense and Humility to Serve for the Betterment of Humanity. They have my support, love and prayers to bring Peace on Earth. ❤❤❤
Please do not give up doing these podcasts. Amazing episode!
Great interview but a trillion is not a billion millions. It's a million millions
Nope. One thousand billion = one trillion
Both are true lol. What do you think a million times a million equals
It didn't sound right when the said that. They both sounded so confident saying a billion millions.
Holly cow what a good guest😮
