oh i think the only thing this lone about eric prince is that he's a hostler but he's not alone in that regard. well he he was acting it seems pretty clear with the passage or even direct encouragement by the trumpet ministration i can't imagine that he would but i can imagine that he would try to make a buck by selling soldiers and weapons to whoever wanted to purchase them but in this instance the united states under converse and very conflicting messages of the formal institutions of government supporting the un backed. government in libya and then transcending these confusing signals with the u.a.e. and their difference i'd like to make one other quick though i think typically what happens with mercenaries and black operations and so on that become public is that it's that embarrassing people have a go on their faces as the spotlight is turned to them and some of these operations through the people who have been revealed and outed and will be shut down but. consequent legal consequences are far more problematic because you have in the un process the backing or protection or murky be

important to halliburton a group is part of the same nexus and that's something we need to highlight eric prince is not separate from batna group we shouldn't forget the city shall meeting him in 2017 where erik prince a very instrumental bring in the russians the trump campaign and as well as the u.a.e. together and in libya we see this unpack unfolding and you're absolutely right there is a problem me a normative problem because in many ways that the liberal values have been undermined by using contracting and obviously outsourcing warfighting to to to jews to mercenaries and we've given it the try ministration test and he has given approval to these sort of operations and it's a slippery slope that we're going down on. obviously a lot more has to be done but nobody seems to be interested as as. rightly said nobody has an interest in do this because both sides winning back the group is obviously been stigmatized because they're russia but let's not forget erik prince is working with the russians in directly there and the russian operation was bankrolled by the u.a.e. this is part of the same n

christian just remind us who eric prince is and how close he was to the former president. well very close indeed erik prince is a former navy seal and the former head of the military security contractor blackwater and our viewers may remember that blackwater had operations in iraq and became. well known for attacking and killing 17 civilians in iraq became really a symbol of all of the unfortunate excesses of private militia groups he also is the brother of betsy to vos who was president trump's education secretary and was very close it with the president a very prominent supporter of the president known to be close to some of his. key and controversial allies like steve bannon and roger stone so someone who's fairly well known in circles in washington d.c. the coltons of the report see the surface to be growth or explosive so if we assume the cold sense of the reporter as far as we assume they are how much trouble could he be in. right and at this stage we only have it confirmed through the new york times and one source at the united nations does tell us that the report is

i would look at eric prince's policy as the shadow foreign policy of not trump but particularly jarryd questioner because it's the nexus between jared questionnaire the emma roddy's particularly m.b. said and erik prince who made policy outside of the formal channels of the state department of defense department and that characterized trump policy towards many different conflicts biden is going to be keen just to revert to consensus policy done within our formal institutions the defense department in the state department and he's not going to want to prosecute all of the illegal actions that happened under his predecessor because there are many both in foreign and domestic policy what's fascinating is that the reporter that i just era has private access to as well as the new york times doesn't mention jarrett questioner and this is really a policy where prince was not acting on his own he was acting at the behest of kerik caution or who wanted to see an ember roddy ally emerge victorious and the muslim brotherhood suffered defeat this entire mercenary operation was a failure it may hav

public reasons and an obvious and legal reasons you can't be involved in complicit people like eric prince's currency go right up and the real aspect here as we've seen with russia and the bagnall group and how they've been deployed in several theaters including libya is that they offer a beautiful eerie and in fact disastrous kind of deniability to any government you can write refuse that you have any knowledge of what is going on you could refuse that you have any of the leaders but we know that erik prince has a relationship with donald trump we also know the his sister betsy the boats had a relationship with donald trump we know that you have been to preserve an inn in russia the head of the veil a group has a close relationship with villepin and he was put in chef we also know that they have very very close encounters and it worked at one time or over the last several years they've had meetings on behalf of their countries like like the united arab or. no i think there are 2 major questions they're being left behind so what degree the tramp helped facilitate this war alongside erik prin

you know really no i mean hey eric prince had been building and furnishing a base eastern libya at all had them for the united arab emirates and furnishing them with tractors and drones at the time so you know we've known about erik prince at least since 201617 at the earliest perhaps but i met eric actually shortly before the war in libya and i asked him what it what are you doing in debian and he seemed quite tense by the question but he said we're doing method backs to medical evacuations for the u.n. and i thought this is someone who doesn't really care about the truth he cares about how if any of this could be proven and i think at that stage i thought very little of this could be proven because of how sophisticated erik prince is infrastructure is and how many places he's gotten away with but i think in libya's case there were to many threads and believe half there is only dispute with princes things will imagine i imagine things will emerge in the next come coming weeks these are where things start to become a bit more testy this isn't just being his opponents that have really d

capacity and capability for them in western libya glenn we're talking about an operation where eric prince was provided message there is weapons sophisticated technology we're talking about an $80000000.00 operation that includes convincing bridges not players to support provide support a particular way of with with with with helicopters you are a former deputy national intelligence officer could this be the work of a lone wolf or do you think you need to have key players here who would facilitate such things for you. oh i think the only thing that's lone about erik prince is that he's a hostler but he's not a whole lot of that regard. well he he was acting it seems pretty clear with the passage or even direct. encouragement by the trumpet ministration i can't imagine that he would but i can imagine that he would try to make a buck by selling. soldiers and weapons to whoever wanted to purchase them but in this instance the united states under calm percent and very conflicting messages of the formal institutions of government supporting the u.n. backed. government in libya and then transcen

for example, he was met with eric trump -- erik prince just after the election to establish a back channelication between russia and the trump administration. his role in terms of developing or fine-tuning the science, he is the geopolitics. he is the internal politics, navigating it the complicated world of russian bureaucracy and political infighting and being the person who presents and tries to sell the vaccine on the world market. he is a salesman whose job might've gotten easier by the results announced today. he has very little to do with the science of the vaccine. he has very much to do with the vaccine's role as geopolitical instrument. juan: you have written that sputnik v is a vector vaccine. can you explain what that means and explain how it compares to the others that have already been approved? >> the vaccines been used now in the united states are mrna vaccines. they rely on a tech elegy called messenger rna. this is a way of inserting or providing the body with instructions in the form of mrna code that tells the body how to create antibodies against covid-19. it's like pr

eric: good to have you here this morning on the fox news channel. your reaction to the intelligence finding that implicates the crown prince and butchering of jamal khashoggi khashoggi very folks in saudi arabia who did this. however, the release of this report was r was political. it was aimed at harming a relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia through the use of intelligence in a way that the former cia director i never would have stood for. regret that they chose to do this. it was a political stunt. we know a lot about what happened there. our administration held those accountable that we knew of and i regret that because this ministration wants to develop a relationship with iran and destroy one with the kingdom of of saudi arabia they chose to use intelligence to do that. eric: as you know, you and your administration, the trump administration was accused of quote, covering it up by the democrats. how do you respond to that charge and when you say it's reckless what do you think the real motivation is? >> yet, so, we did not cover it up at all. we worked hard to impede and i worked hard and never will i have to make sure we understood precisel
