I love how he interviews dumb rappers for like 3 hours but only spends an hour with a genius like this.

[@KipGuitar1]

Bruh it’s DJ Vlad not Dr Vlad this a hip hop show

[@BigJohn-w6s]

Exactly​@@KipGuitar1

[@paidstacks]

He only paid for an hour of his time.

[@Matteo-lr6ke]

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

[@thisisfightworld]

people like this dont have 3 hours to sit around and be interviewed.

[@kevindagame]

[@ljjackson7106]

Thank you for this interview! Sheds important and new light on a man who reeived a lot of negative press. Erik is a gem!!!

[@alannickels]

If i had a dollar for everytime Vlad said "I remember i interviewed..." i would have enough money to afford that Marlon Wayans interview

[@vladtv]

lol

[@realitynotfictionii563]

Do you believe the fake J6 stuff? Its all out...was fake ​@vladtv

[@Wolfie19o4]

[@rondoughhowell6442]

What at being a Gun for hire

[@justinclawson4840]

I'd say figuring out the Somali pirate issue. Saving innocent hostages being abused for up to a year at time.

[@lordhumongous4272]

He is a war criminal and you are a terrible person

[@agentrocco8042]

This man is a american tresure ,so impresive ,when i was younf we heard about blackwater being evil and all that bs im glad his side of the story has been told over the last cpuple years ,now a days i trust his words more than most

[@ChrstianTroy720]

Erik is as hung out to dry. True American patriot

[@h2ophilter]

vlad is fed and Prince is a mercenary. makes sense,

[@rickrudeproductions_]

king Leopold of Blackwater

[@BubbaChevy]

I can't wait 💯

[@donavan836]

Any Xtra juice Vlad tried to throw Erik was on it fast 😂😂

[@fosdboss]

Smart man that cares about the people

[@tragekavant]

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.

[@joeblack2809]

You’re obviously new to DJVlad interviews young padawan.

[@MetatronCain]

[@billymaltez8030]

Idk about anyone else, but this dude looks like n reminds me a lot of Jason Bateman. Even the way he sounds and describes things is on point to Marty Bird from Ozarks aka Jason Bateman

[@mentoheal1520]

[@matthewadams2979]

Our future Secretary of Defense. Trump '24

[@BrendanHeyUSA]

Brilliant idea by Mr. Prince. With that said, if you want to serve your country, join the military. None of this rogue mercenary stuff. Leave that to the tenured veterans that have prior SOF experience .

[@AdityaVerma-hj4eo]
