criticism of the kremlin s conduct of the ukraine war. jake. matthew chance for us in moscow, thank you so much. joining us to discuss former secretary of defense under president trump, secretary mark esper. there s a piece in the daily mail that says putin must have killed prigozhin and said i can t think of another uninhabited savagery in our life times. former president trump johnson reports this is the ultimate proof that there can never be negotiated peace with putin. what s your take? my take is the prime minister is stating the obvious. i think secretary esper has frozen up there, and we will take a quick break and bring him back. coming up, the kiss that could result in criminal charges and has sparked a global outcry.
back with me now, former secretary of defense under president trump mark esper. before the glitch, secretary esper, i asked you about your take on british prime minister boris johnson, former prime minister, suggesting that putin must have killed prigozhin and that suggests he cannot be trusted for any sort of se sett settlements, any sort of negotiation when it comes to his invasion of ukraine. your take? i think the prime minister is basically correct. voipd believes putin is behind it. the kremlin is the only one denying it. it s because he was behind the far right and far right military, there are tributes happening across russia for

in-flight incident before falling out. sky. u.s. officials tell cnn they believe whatever happened was deliberate and that one possibility being explored was an onboard explosion. the kremlin is saying it had nothing to do with the crash. it happened two months to the day after prigozhin and wagner staged their failed insurrection. the biggest challenge get to putin s authority during his rule. and coming up, former u.s. sea star reggie bush wants his heisman throe back and he is filing a suit against the ncaa to get it. laura coats breaks down that case next. tens of thousands of customers wrote about carvana being easy in their five star reviews, including eric. the whole process was really simple and easy, and this is my third time selling to carvana.
openly opposing him carries obviously fatal consequences. there s been an argument ever since the prigozhin mutiny two months ago that putin is badly wounded, on his way out and even today the killing of putin i m sorry, the killing of prigozhin indicates putin s weakness. i don t think. i don t see any other sign among his closest advisers that they broke with him. he surfaced some other opponents as a result of prigozhin s mutiny. they have been dismissed from the service. i don t think putin s back to where he was before the invasion in terms of russian domestic politics but i think having killed prigozhin, he is certainly stronger. we ll have much more on this later in the show. thank you, john bolton, for being with us tonight. well thanks for having me. and up next, so many defendants and so little time,
