    Businessman and former Navy SEAL Erik Prince sat down with VladTV to discuss being the founder and former CEO of Blackwater, one of the largest private armies in the world. Prince traced his family's history and the path his father took to become a self-made billionaire. He explained his decision to join the Navy SEALs and later invest $5 million of his own money to establish Blackwater. Prince broke down how Blackwater rapidly grew to the point where the company was generating over $800 million in annual revenue and securing $2 billion in government security contracts during his tenure as CEO. Prince also addressed Blackwater's controversies and what led him to step down and sell Blackwater. Throughout the rest of the interview, Erik Prince discussed his involvement in foreign affairs, his relationship with Donald Trump, and much more.

      Exactly what I was thinking. Shawn Ryan did a great series on all the black water guys that got prosecuted. Very unsettling all around.

    Thank you for having Erik Prince on your great platform, Vlad! Thank you for always giving us both sides. I believe President Trump should put Mr. Prince in his cabinet as Secretary of Defense. Vote Trump/Vance!

    This interviewer is just obnoxious. Prince is a modern-day mercenary leader with a unique set of perspectives on military and geopolitics and half the questions are just the interviewer meandering on with these surface-level, shallow establishment media talking points about "muh insurrection" or some other such equally uninteresting mindrotting slop.
