uh, brittany greiner, who was suppose a female woman basketball star. and the united states was, was bargained for much earlier after only several months or weeks even whereas she only stood $1010.00 weeks, i think, and in jail. whereas this particular gentleman, fogel has been in jail since i think 2021. and this to shows you that there is a certain double standard that i think it has to do with whether in fact the person meet certain criteria for outrage in the united states, which brittany griner did. and mr. fogel, mark folk well does not. so why do you think that the double standards, the why, why we're russian political figures, even though they have us citizenship favorite over ordinary american citizens with no political backgrounds like market photo, it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that this is an election year and, and they're trying to get in political points perhaps, you know, they're definitely trying to gain political points and they don't care about people that represent the main stream of american society. like a white male,

uh brittany greiner, who was suppose a female woman basketball star, and the united states was with the bargain for much earlier after only several months or weeks, even whereas she only stood 1010 weeks, i think, and in jail. whereas this particular gentleman, fogel, has been in jail since i think 2021. and this to shows you that there is a certain, um, double standard that i think it has to do with whether in fact the person meet certain criteria for outrage in the united states, which brittany griner did. and mr. fogel, mark focal does not. so why do you think that the double standards, the why, why were russian political figures, even though they have us citizenship favorite over ordinary american citizens with no political backgrounds like.

then they traded brittany greiner, an american basketball star who was in prison due to narcotic substances on the imprisoned arms dealer viktor but. and we knew that moscow and washington had entered into negotiations about evan hershkovich, about field vilen, two citizens of the united states, whom the united states officially are called wrongfully imprisoned. paul wheelen spent more than 5 years in a russian prison. this is an indicator that the exchange of prisoners is not an easy matter. it is not always easy to bring people back home. so we know that negotiations took place, we know that volodymyr. putin and other senior russian officials have hinted publicly that they are open to it, and vladimir putin has so far made it clear, without naming names, who russia wants back, vadim. krasikov, a russian agent who was serving a life sentence in germany for murder. now krasykov will be returned to russia. and i think that the kremlin will consider this a successful work, consider the mission accomplished and consider it a victory. and now there is information that putin has signed a decree

greiner who was jailed in russia, former soldier travis king who was jailed in north korea and formeramended by the taliban in afghanistan. i'm stilljoined afghanistan. i'm still joined by afghanistan. i'm stilljoined by my colleague will grant to was atjoint base andrews, we touched on there when i explained i would be happening to those americans who are freed, the trauma that they must be going through and they will need time to process what they've gone through because they've gone through because they've been detained for years in many cases. they've been detained for years in many cam-— in many cases. that's right. just to think _ in many cases. that's right. just to think through - in many cases. that's right. just to think through the . in many cases. that's right. i just to think through the sham trials to the arrest themselves into the sham trials into the sentencing, into the appeals they came up against kangaroo court, into the day in, day out inside harsh prison conditions and understands, weeks and months go by years in paul whelan with perhaps a gnawing sense that you'r

and that culminated in the trade of brittany greiner and viktor bout last year.ogue continued, both sides began to think about it. who they want to return, and as we now know, these were people who were not in us prisons, in europe, so i am sure that the white house is working with intelligence and security agencies, and the dialogue continues through very secure channels. putin fully believes that russia is at war with the us and the west, and he sees this exchange as an exchange of prisoners of war during the war, so the potential for improving russian-american relations... there is no, critics of president biden will say that he is trying to solve a problem that he himself created because american policy over the last few years has created the ground in which hostage taking is only a reward, this is an opportunity for russia and the united states to find a way forward, we already talk about this a lot, but there is hope that this will lead to something on the russian-ukrainian front. i, of course, doubt that this will happen; the key factor here will still be

for brittany griner, a lot of people looked at unbalance as much as you want to home because he had was there longer. >> no question, when brittany griner was released and obviously, look at, we went all americans home. we don't want anyone being illegally or wrongly detained or mistreated, but there was a lot of frustration obviously with respect to the paul whelan beginning to be held as part of that original agreement just a few years ago. so we are awaiting the details and i don't over speculate. >> brian: are you surprised you don't know more now? >> no, and to be fair this is obviously a sensitive negotiation and we want our folks to be released and obviously you are dealing with vladimir putin who is a dictator and a thug. you can't trust anything he says or does. >> ainsley: we interviewed the general counsel for the dow, the umbrella organization over all street journal and he was working tirelessly with washington to try to get him home. evans only 32 years old, and came here, his parents came here from soviet parents from russia in 1979, he grew up in new jersey, and then
