things that we ve witnessed over the course of this incredible few days. all right, matthew chance from moscow. thanks, popsy, thanks, matthew chance, let s go ahead and talk about the key players in this weekend s rebellion. we want to talk to national security analyst chief of russia operations steve hall. steve, there are a lot of questions right now, a lot of confusion, a lot of people didn t think anything like this was possible. let s start with yevgeny prigozhin, who is he? sure. so, we ve got a good shot of yevgeny over there. the thing that strikes me about prigozhin is the most interesting thing, he is one of the few, if any, of these players we ve seen in moscow over the past couple of decades being able to make the jump from essentially an oligarch, basically the catering service for the kremlin, a bigger job than you might imagine but he was able to make the jump from being that kind of guy to basically a military war lord.
against congressman jason chaffetz who is leading in an investigation against him. it s pretty shocking and bad stuff. aman be running for speaker now. that s interesting. he is also on fns this weekend. winners and loser. winner of the week soleimani the military chief of the iranian revolutionary guards. the guy who went to moscow illegally he after the signing ever the nuclear deal between us and the iranians who was essentially in charge of iranian forces in iraq. and in syria he is essentially the military war lord of under russian protection. quite a statement considering he is a guy who had his hand in the killing of hundreds of americans in the afghanistan and iraqi wars. the loser of the week is ashton carter, secretary of defense, who gave one of the worst press conferences in the history of the press. in fact, he was so bumbling in explaining our position on syria, he made obama today look forceful and eloquent in his press
