brittney: i did., the pay gap is, it's pretty big, you know, from here to overseas and you know, just feeling value like that meant a lot to me. and then, just how they treated us, our safety, the way we flew, the way where we stayed at, i mean, we stayed at the best, best hotels. we flew on private jets and we really felt like professional athletes. >> the state department is aware of an arrest of an american citizen in moscow. >> russian customs officials claimed they detected cannabis oil in her luggage. amna: she returned to russia to rejoin her team and she was detained outside of moscow when vaped cartridges with less than a gram of hashish oil, illegal in russia, were found in her luggage. griner has a prescription for medical marijuana in the u.s., but forgot to remove the cartridges while packing in a rush. you almost didn't make that flight. you're running late. you lost your phone. u got held up. missed your connection. does any part of you look back on that day now and think gosh, if i'd o

in order to get to the end picture. >> let's talk about brittney griner. leading up to the hostage deal between brittney griner for a convicted arm smuggler -- you describe how you were the first presented the name of a second russian detainee who would would've been swept for paul whelan if you deliver that name to the deputy national security advisor and he says, why you? why did you get the name? i ask you, why do you get that name? >> it is sometimes awkward for people to understand why we were able to get some of these deals to us. and there was a lot of skepticism. when it came to brittney griner, when the russians also gave us two options, one for one and two for two. we told the russians we will not deliver the one-for-one option because we also work on paul whelan and so when i delivered that message to john, in that breakfast, it was a two for two message. unfortunately and i know he tried really hard to get that, just did not work. >> you describe three occasions were paul whelan was left behind. why do you think is still behind bars? >> first o

nick: let's talk about brittney griner.ding up to the hostage deal between brittney griner for convicted arms smuggler viktor bout, you describe how you, mickey bergman, were the first presented the name of a second russian detainee who would have been swapped for paul whelan. and you deliver that name to john finer, the deputy national security adviser, and he says, why are you, mickey? why did you get the name? so i ask you, why do you get that name? mickey: it is sometimes awkward for people in government to understand why we're able to actually get some of these deals articulated to us. and there's a lot of skepticism. when it came to brittney griner, when the russians also gave us two options, one for one or two for two, we actually told the russians we're not going to deliver the one for one option because we also work on paul whelan. when i delivered that message to john in that breakfast, it was a two for two message. unfortunately, and i know that he tried really, really hard to get that, just didn't work. nick: yo

so they took brittney griner, and suddenly we were negotiating.the other way as well. so intellectually, there's very little data. and one of the people that compiled that data was brianjenkins from rand. and he's...he did a study of 20 years of the data on this. complete ambiguity between the way that these issues are resolved and the number of americans being taken. that's the intellectual part of it. now, the...the moral bankruptcy of this is that if we want to build deterrents, we are the united states, or israel for that matter, if we're talking about october 7th. we're strong enough to build deterrents. we cannot do it on the backs of those who are being held. 0k. so... first, we need to make sure that they come back. then we can do deterrence. so you said that in the situation with the gaza hostages now, that president biden should consider working independently for the us hostages. are you seriously suggesting that that's the next step? not exactly, but in principle, yes. i want to suggest the fact the us president has a responsibility for

we didn't know brittney griner was already taken. >> bret: days before wnba player brittney griner arrested airport officials say they found cannabis oil in a legal substance there in her luggage. >> bret: bake breaking tonight. has secured the release of brittney griner from russia. price it's paying is drawing criticism. >> griner would be released viktor bout but the russians refusing to late whelan walk free. >> this was not a choice who to bring home. we brought home trevor reed when we had a chance earlier this year. sadly for totally illegitimate reasons russia is treating paul's case differently than whelan. >> bret: he has to be frustrated over time he has been overlooked. is there something that can shake the tree? >> unfortunately, we will have to wait until the elections here because president putin doesn't have any interest in making a deal that might make president biden look good. >> bret: beauty returned to russia and opened exhibition of artwork while imprisoned in the u.s. he now serves as member of regional legislature and maintains his u.s. imprisonment as griner says of

brittney came back in september. we failed with doing paul whelan and brittney griner. still sitting there. >> we hope he comes home soon. brittney griner is quoted as saying, mickey and governor richardson are big reasons why i'm home. they called on deep relationships and educated and communicated compassionately with my family and team, whatever it took to bring me home. that's brittney griner talking about this man. the new book "in the shadows," it's on sale now. mickey bergman, thanks for being here, and thanks for the work you do. >> thank you so much. >>> still ahead this morning, the latest from italy as president biden attends the g7 summit. the biggest issues world leaders are facing there. >>> plus, the senator of hawaii will be here to talk about expanding access to ivf under threat. >>> plus, he's a grammy and academy award winner. he is questlove. we'll speak with him about his new book "hip-hop is history." we're back in 90 seconds.

you played a key role in negotiating the release of brittney griner. can you can you just tell us some of the key aspects that went into that and why did that actually go through what was the success point that actually allow now that to happen? i think first of all, you're right. >> it's completely different notion of negotiations between commas in between the russians. and we live hamas on the side here for a second, focus on the russians. the russians are really their professional diplomats, old school diploma diplomacy with them. they, they have very clear intent to know exactly what they're going going for. very, very sharp. an early on when we started working on prisoners, it was paul whelan. there was no trevor retaken, there was no brittney griner taken, certainly not evan gershkovich and others that we have now and we figured out and we started talking to them, we realized that the russians are very big on reciprocity and symmetry and that is the big thing that drove. and if you look at the deals that were conducted, trevor read for constantin

there was no trevor reed taken, there was no brittney griner taken, certainly not evan gershkovich andthers that we have now and we figured out and we started talking to them, we realized that the russians are very big on reciprocity and symmetry that is the big thing that drove in if you look at the bills that were conducted, trevor reed for constantinian shanker, brittney griner for victor boot and there were opportunities to bring paul whelan. i actually discuss it in my book. i believe he was left behind four times on this he can still come home and we need to do it and i played it because i know that you've spoken in paul whelan multiple times, dozens, if about a dozen if i'm not mistaken, but one of the first time around when brittney griner was released and he was left behind in that sense, what has been the evolution of the conversations you've had from maybe from the first time you spoke to going to now well, that's been kind of a through line throughout the conversations omar, is this sense that he was left behind in a number of these prisoner exchanges. >> he didn't come hom

all while putting brittney griner on the team. the second game of the season with a tote fracture she might not even be playing again for another month. i think with the extreme controversy that she brings, the exclusion of clark, women's basketball has likely caused itself millions of viewers. arthel: let me jump and you said a lot there first of all you refer by the light caitlin clark just for the record. you said you mentioned and referred to caitlin as a rookie multiple times which she is. i'm not sure what you mean by the controversy brittney griner brings to the game. that is not fair to say without explanation. >> given everything that happened overseas, given she was put in jail. the controversy is certainly there whether we want it there or not. arthel: it would not her fault and wrongly accused let's be fair riley i like you a lot too. that is not right. she was wrongfully accused and that is not fair to bring that up but we are going to delete that you and i continue again i like you a lot. so the game was on today ind

amna: for those stations staying with us, my conversation with wnba star brittney griner two years afters first detained in russia. she showed me details about her time in prison and the fight to free her in her new book, "coming home." i met up with her at the wmc i actually -- the wmca of greater new york. >> for basketball superstar brittney griner, the court has always been a safe space. born and raised in houston, texas, she was a breakout star at baylor university, dunking her way to fame and a pro career with the phoenix mercury, six wnba all-star appearances, and two olympic gold medals, but standing tall at 6'8" meant standing out. you talk so openly, so honestly in your book about what it took to get you comfortable in your own skin. he wrote, when you are born in a body like mine, a part of you dies every day. every new comment and lingering stare. you are the biggest person in the room but you are also the lowliest. >> festival definitely helped. he gave me a purpose. it gave me an outlook -- an outlet when i'm frustrated. he gave me a place to go and channel that in a positi

andctually brittney's story is really the story of one woman on trial.the other two stories, the india story is an entire gang taki o men. and in syria, it's a it's it's the story of an entire militia. so the book progressively gets to bigger and bigger groups of women fighting in different ways. yeah, love that. and i think was one thing is that, you know, this book may sound heavy, but i didn't find it that heavy. maybe the britney story was a little heavy. but then as you keep reading, you, you know, you're finding chuck the this is a this is a person who was part of ypg militia. i mean, she said she used the word joy in kind of taking action against againstthere's a, angourie person in india who really does. people area unfair taking her land away and she fights back d und it uplifting and at times cathartic. did you how did you how did did you find it cathartic? i know you talked about your own trauma. how did you kind of deal with your own trauma in writing this book? yeah. so i had a lot of mental breakdown while writing this book. my body kind of

sharing sentiment that i've learned from my experience in working on the release of trevor read and brittneyriner and trying to get paul whelan, which we filled up to now, the russians believe in symmetry. they believe in reciprocity the deals that we have not always, we have to make deals, but when we do have to make deals, they've never good der, never fare but there's sometimes the only way to bring innocent americans home and you're working for a non-government organization. >> obviously, that would naturally cause tension. i would guess potentially with the actual government and their operations. how does that work with the biden administration? what's your experience been working with them in different channels to save goal. but maybe different methods. >> as you mentioned, we are not for profit organizations, so we work on behalf of families at their request at no cost to them. we raise our fans it's worth and it's true that there is friction by default between us and the government within the families and the government and that is mainly because this is not a simple issue. the gover

makes you feel any better because i don't recognize the names of anyone else on the team except for brittneyasketball so much as okay backpacking. [laughter] >> good job. >> greg: all right. charlie, you're gonna like this portly the year. there be a legit reason for this omission or is it political or social or cultural? >> is social. they're just jealous of caitlin clark and all the eyeballs she had on her. nobody cares about the wnba. there they care about caitlin clark but with that being said caitlin clark is able to bring somebody -- only eyeballs to the wnba, she would bring manual -- millions more viewers to the women's basketball games in the earth olympics carolyn -- it's really sad. caitlin clark certainly deserves to be the. it's not unheard her back by any stretch to have an exceptional rookie player neolithic team. >> greg: she's iraqi, that's why. >> it's not wise before a string to see what their excuse might be, you know what i'm saying? >> i think one of their season has been made was that she missed one of the workouts because she was in the championship tournament when sh

. >> women's basketball player brittney griner who was arrested on drug smuggling charges which she deniedmerchant victor. reports that putin wants to free gershkovich in return for a convicted russian assassins serving life in a german prison for killing a putin opponent in berlin. a sham trial and says the state department has declared that gershkovich has been wrongly detained. >> evan has done nothing wrong. he should never have been arrested in the first place. journalism is not a crime. the charges against him are false. the government knows they are false. he should be released immediately. >> he has been arrested since the cold -- if he is convicted at this trial, he could face up to 20 years in prison. >> john: he wants to swap a journalist for a convicted killer. no wonder he keeps taking americans. thank you. now this. >> for restaurant workers and hotel workers and caddies and car people, it is a lot. anybody receiving tips, no more attacks from temps. i think that's gonna be a great thing. >> sandra: reaching out to the service industry workers with this new push, eliminate ta

knows the only way to do it is a swap of the sort we saw with united states engineered the release of brittneyl player return for the merchant of death. >> here at fox news with core sd with evan who is with our corporate because in the wall street journal journalism is not a crime. we wish him the very best. they said they may not have a swap until after a verdict do you think that is part of putin's plan to try to get a verdict and then swap as you say? >> absolutely by the trial is a sham but is designed to dial up a rush as a leverage so if evan is in fact if he is convicted in this kangaroo russian court that would enable the russians to demand even more from us. they've got deep covid russian intelligence officers have been arrested in slovenia they've got military intelligence officer and brazil and they have got putin hired a hitman in germany who killed an ethnic chechen georgian citizen on the streets of berlin he is serving time there. those are some of putin's cronies he would like to get back. so far our best forever and we'll see what happens finally it's the eve of father's day

going on here is putin is trying to use evan gershkovich to do another high-level deal like the swap of brittneyoot to the arms dealer british sources say putin may have as i on a horrible old s spy/killer it was in jail in germany because he shot a chechen dissident and a park while riding his bicycle. this is an old ally of putin's i think putin is trying to craft this show trial of evan gershkovich to set up a high level swap. remember there are still several other americans detained in russia too. eric: let's talk about him for a moment you set an old spy ally of vladimir putin it's back in 2019 he shoots a russian opposition opponents in the park and the tear garden which is in berlin he's on a bicycle witnesses said they saw him shoot him and go and shoot him in the head several more times the tear garden is like new york central park this is in broad daylight we have a photo of the suspect. we have seen a russ russia lashd tried to assassinate opponents in england and elsewhere. >> varied much of putin's type of operation do not forget he was trained back in the fs to be the kgb successor

they are heavily favored to make it eight in paris with a stacked veteran team set to include brittneyld not comment on the roster, two unnamed u.s. basketball vets told "usa today" there was concern over how clark's millions of fans would react to what would likely be limited playing time. that revelation causing frustration online. >> they were worried that too many people would be watching their games. >> when we sat down in april, clark said it's been her goal to join team usa. >> what would it mean to you to represent the country in paris this summer? >> i think that would mean everything. that's one of my dreams growing up. >> the young star says she will embrace being a fan. >> i will be watching and cheering for them. it will be a lot of fun. >> stephanie gosk, thank you. >>> oregon, a terrifying incident at a rodeo this weekend was caught on camera. one of the bulls jumped a fence into a crowd of spectators. rodeo organizers say several people were injured. emily earth connect da has more. >> reporter: a terrifying scene in oregon over the weekend. it happened during the final

it took almost three months, but brittney griner's trial several years ago on drug charges lasted just over a month. we make it a sense of how urgent this is for the russian government equally, the sentencing will be very important. the maximum is 20 years, so we'll have to see how close to that they get given that an acquittal is not expected. but this is the first time or is it almost 40 years that a un american journalist has been charged with espionage in russia the last time in the cold war, didn't even make it to trial. so a big moment for evan gershkovich which would also a really a touchstone moment as we watch this precipitous decline of the media environment and russia all right, thanks to close a bastion for that live report from london. >> and earlier i spoke with be auto, so he is a friend of evan gershkovich and also a report on russian affairs 4, the guardian. >> he says he received a letter from gershkovich before russian authorities moved him for the trial. >> take a listen last week i received a letter from him which he said that it's trying to keep physically and men

if there were charter flights, brittney griner would not have ended up in a gulag.e not treated like the men are. how much of this do you think is the marketing potential of a caitlin clark? quite frankly, this is a league that is largely black women. it's largely lgbtq. she's a white heterosexual woman. so if you're trying to get white dads to go spend their money and buy season tickets, she seems like a marketing opportunity. how much of it is that? >> i don't know why people find that to be controversial to think about that. we know that marketing is about ability, talent, all those things. and nobody is saying that caitlin clark doesn't have those things. she's incredibly talented. she's broken records, she's playing a playing style that people love that is very representative of what we see today particularly on the men's side. but yes, it helps that she's white, straight, and from iowa in a league that has faced marketing challenges over the last three decades it's been in existence. it's faced marketing challenges because of the things you mention. because 70
