>> at long last, brittney griner is home. but republicans are slamming the deal that got it done at the same time attacking brittney griner herself. also tonight, the outrageous both sidism from the unpopular kyrsten sinema accusing democrats of catering. after voting 90% of the time with biden. plus, he just graduated high school and is moving into the mayor's office. jalen smith, who will be the youngest black mayor in america. he joins me tonight. what a way to end the week. bob the drag queen from hbo's "we're here" joined me to talk about their new season and the danger facing the lbgtq community because of policies and rhetoric from the right. we begin "the reidout" tonight with the arrival of brittney

griner on u.s. soil. that's right, brittney griner is home. here she is earlier today, arriving in san antonio, texas. after she was freed from a russian prison in exchange for victor boot. she was transferred in mid november to a penal colony. few things are more harrowing seeing a fellow american wrongly detained and held abroad, especially when that country is russia. this should be a reason to unify, to celebrate. instead, we're seeing not just mixed reactions, but more of the disturbing hateful rhetoric that defines the american right. the biden administration negotiated for the release of two americans. brittney griner and paul whelen, a marine who has been jailed in russia since december of 2018 on

espionage charges, which he and the u.s. government are denying. he's serving a 16-year sentence, and did not return home as did griner, because according to the white house, it was griner or no one at all. cue the outrage from republicans like scott perry from pennsylvania who tweeted -- >> the shot at griner smuggling drugs is false. by since when does truth matter to a man who contacted the white house for a presidential pardon for his role in january 6th. let that sink in.

then we have mccarthy who aid lobster under a south lawn temperature with the president's son, hunter. you know, the person he's sickly obsessed with investigating. you thought your holiday dinners were awkward. here's somewhat he had to say about swapping griner for victor boot using the russian nickname, the merchant of death. >> think about the exchange here. the merchant of death for a wnba star who was picked up for marijuana. >> here's the thing, these republicans criticizing griner's return, but they are leaving out an important fact. whelan was left behind, by donald trump. whelan was incarcerated in 2018 in russia during trump's presidency. he was, in fact, a trump supporter. according to pbs, whelan visited russia often. he had a profile on russia's equivalent of facebook.

in 2016, he wrote in russian, onward, president trump. and on inauguration day, he wrote, god save president trump. in 2019, the atlantic wrote a piece on whelan's sister. one goal in life was to get president trump to pay attention to her brother's case, noting that he used a court appearance in moscow in 2019 to beg for trump's assistance. tweet your intentions he pleaded. yet trump stayed silent. fast forward to thursday, when donald trump, jr. joined the pile-on, on twitter saying the biden administration was apparently worried that their dei score would go down if they freed an american marine. elena plot, the writer of that piece tweeted paul whelan begged your father for a tweet about him, adding that the trump white

house did not respond to her request for comment on her story. none of this stopped trump himself from ranting on saying -- >> are we really going to pretend that trump cares about members of the military, who called americans who died in war suckers, who ridiculed john mccain saying, i like people who weren't captured. who has mocked the military his entire life. we going to believe he cares about the military? you have to wonder if any of these people attacking biden even knew who paul whelan was. according to a 2020 new yorker piece, trump raised whelan's attention with putin along with trevor reed. before yesterday's truth social post, trump never mentioned paul

whelan publicly. but you know who does? joe biden. each and every time. and griner's wife, on the day that brittney griner flew back home. all that trump did was ignore him and leave the former marine behind. joining me now is congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas. brittney griner is from your district. she is from texas. talk to me a little bit about this. i know you've been if touch with the family trying to be involved and get her out. give her your reaction to her liberation and the right's hypocrisy regarding her liberation. >> joy, good to be with you this ooefg. sit an exciting two days. one for the announcement yesterday of her being freed. of course, in the wee hours of the morning as i was advised that she landed safely at san antonio and on to the brooke army medical center. i was involved with brittney griner the moment she was captured, some days after the

olympics, as well as somewhat before the invasion of russia. i was in lithuania at that time. and determining that this hometown girl had been taken wrongly, and destroying her potential life and success, having gone to russia to pray basketball, having done that for seven years. we got involved, pushing and pushing to get her determined to be a person wrongfully held. once the united states does that, which was done in mid spring, as everyone was trying to push that designation, then we became and did the strong fight. i never saw kevin mccarthy or congressman perry or anyone of that vintage or that persuasion or that view more consumed, of course, with january 6th, 2021,

and not consumed with trying to free brittney griner. i never saw any of them. and so they would not be aware or involved with what was actually happening. and when joe biden, who i applaud and his negotiating team, that i applaud and the state department, began in mid spring to ramp it up for how we could get brittney griner, trevor reed, and paul whelan home. many people should remember, trevor reed came home, sad and disappointed that he was not able to get brittney griner or paul whelan. it was one for one. trevor reed was a marine who had been held, as well. and he came home to a loving family. that loving family embraced brittney griner's family, as we have embraced paul whelan's family. and we have been fighting ever since. now, this story. donald trump, jr., as his father, always without facts.

election deniers, and probably thinking january 6th was a picnic. we tried to get both, even to the extent of having someone in the back pocket that it could be two for two. this is a desperate, vicious leader, killing people in ukraine, incarcerating and locking up russians who oppose the war. and we had start and stop. start and stop, start and stop. and everyone should know that vladamir putin asked for victor booth, who is a murderer, held in germany. let me say this. no one knows the story of paul -- of the weapons dealer, if you will. and as the facts would tell them. he was sentenced to 25 years, he served 11 to 16 years, i can't remember the exact number. but in actuality, his weapons

might have been used to kill americans. he has not killed americans. i'm not saying he's not a nasty, bad guy. but i will tell you that i believe that americans should know that the sovereignty of their nation will always be behind them and they will never be forgotten. brittney griner deserved this fight, so does paul whelan. and we will be introducing legislation when they -- it was putin who said, you take this deal, joy, or you get nothing. i wish these republicans, who are about to take leadership in the house, would begin to tell the truth to the american people. because maybe we might get one bipartisan action done if they would learn to tell the truth. >> trevor reed has been very critical of the republicans, because they didn't do anything to help him either. and i believe that victor boot had six more years left on his

sentence, she had nine. congresswoman, really appreciate you. if you are in touch with the family, we would love to have you come back on with a member of the family. it's bring in the executive director of the mccain institute and hopefully you were able to hear the congresswoman, evalyn. this victor boot piece of it, the republicans are pretending that they care about this case. according to reports, while he was incarcerated, he said this to the russian kremlin today, this is what he said -- >> he was in a sort of red part of illinois, and he found that the right wing fellow

incarcerated people liked russia and were on russia's side. talk to me about this fake outrage you're seeing on the right. >> yeah, joy, it's really upsetting, because at the end of the day, these are both americans, these american families are hurting. and the griner family should be allowed to enjoy, around we should -- no one should be politicizing this. i just want to say one thing. i have the few, of course, we won't know until we have the archives on the putin regime, you know, after it topples, and we open them up. but the reality is, it's very likely that vladamir putin was never going to trade paul whelan. that he always knew that he would trade brittney griner for viktor bout. he wanted this guy, because viktor bout is frankly closely associated with the russian intelligence community and he was an arm of the russian intelligence agency. and he was conducting these arms deals for the russian government. so the reality is that i think

that putin was just waiting for the right moment when he needed a boost in the public. that's what he needs now because of how bad the war is going in ukraine. i just wish people would allow the families to be happy, obviously the hostages have come home. and for the other family, you know, the whelan family and many others. that we all rally around and try to help get them out. >> the challenge for the right, of course, this is a black woman, she's lbgtq, she was for black lives matter. so they didn't care if she stayed there for the rest of her life. she's not a fellow american to them. this is the reaction we have seen if past cases.

donald trump said he took kim jong-un at his word about warmbier's torture. i go back to when north korea had two other women, g. gordon libby made a racist crack about these two reporters. he made a disgusting joke about them. rush limbaugh wanted to know if clinton hit on them when he was able to free them. they went on to have successful careers, laura ling to host a show and euna lee wrote a book. but this time, the right isn't just attacking just biden,

they're attacking her, brittney griner. what do you make of that? >> it's despicable. i think right now, unfortunately, people like this should not be used as pawns, and frankly, it's the far right agenda, which is essentially, you know, very white nationalistic, that is uniting with the russian autocratic, you know, racist and misogynistic and anti-lbgtq agenda. so i don't -- you know, our politicians should understand very clearly that when they side with the far right and they make these comments, in essence they are aiding and abetting our adversary in moscow. >> yeah, indeed. well, it's why they -- what did they tweet, elon, kanye, i don't remember the third person. that's who they're with. well, there you go.

evalyn farcus, thank you very much. up next on "the reidout" -- >> you won't answer my calls, you change your number. i'm not going to be ignored, dan. >> kyrsten sinema demands to remain the center of senate attention. she will not be ignored. criticized for enabling some of the worst republican impulses. she is now quitting the democratic party.

>> >> this has been a celebratory week for democrats. tuesday, the party defied the odds and held on to that georgia senate race, giving them a 51-seat majority and the perks that go with it, until senator kyrsten sinema woke up this morning and said hold my beer. she announced today that she's ditching the democratic party to be abindependent, saying that she never promised to be a guarantee vote for democrats, despite the fact she voted with joe biden 90% of the time. >> people like me just don't feel like we fit neatly into one party's box or the other. both parties have created this kind of requirement or a pull towards the edges that you unthinkingly support all of one party's viewpoints. it's made it difficult for folks to work together and solve problems. >> senate democrats appeared

rather unfazed. chuck schumer said, she's independent, that's how she's always been. i'm looking forward to a productive session in the new democratic majority senate. and the white house says they have every reason to suspect they'll work successfully with her. the arizona democratic party, on the other hand, blasted her saying she may be registered as an independent but she answers to corporations and billionaires, not arizonans. so what does this change about the current makeup of the senate? the answer is not that much, as long as she doesn't caucus with republicans. but it will make the 2024 senate race far more complicated if she runs for re-election. that's still an if. sinema would avoid a primary battle with independents, a move that could compromise democrats in 2024, and the arizona

republican party could put up kari lake or doug doosy. so let's dispense with the first thing here, curt. she's saying that she claims that both parties kater to the fringes, saying they've not demonstrated much tolerance of thought. she's from arizona, first of all, where kari lake and blake masters are. so she can't believe that. so she's just saying that because she thinks that sounds good. the idea that she would caucus with the republicans, she would be one of the minority party, she couldn't hold her gavel. she has to caucus with the democrats because that's the only way she gets gavels. >> obviously. this is the thing, listening to what she had to say, i didn't hear any specific policy differences with democrats. so i don't know what you're talking about. this is kind of the both sidism

at its worst when you say the extreme of both parties, and i'm sorry, but there's only one party in america that tried to overthrow its own government. that was the republican party. there's only one party in america that's trying to take away the votes of women in this country. that's the republican party. there's only one party in america that has an active effort to try to suppress voters, suppress communities, that's the democratic party. so one party is fighting to address climate change, to rein in gun violence, the other party is trying to stop all of those things. that's the line. that's the difference. so sinema is saying both sides are extreme, that's such bs. it's 100% performtive. >> first of all, she sounds like

elon musk, because she takes money from people like elon musk. she's like raking in money from big pharma and rich people. so she talks just like elon musk. but i want to go through some of the things she had said. this is in 2003, when joe lieberman did what she's doing and became an independent. she said -- >> she wasn't a democrat to begin with, she was a ralph naderite back in 2000. so she came in, she railed against capitalism's almighty dollar, but now welcomes contributions from groups, raising $3 million from lobbyists.

so she was a ralph nader person, who attacked other people who did what she's doing. and now she's -- i don't know what she is. isn't the reality here is that because she shifted her personality so much she can't get re-elected? ruben gellego is polling 74-16%. so she wants to do the same thing lieberman did to win as an independent. >> let's look for a second at the political environment. we're coming off an historic performance by the democrats. so why on earth would you pick now as to say, after watching the voters reject trumpism, maga extremism, i'm going to leave the democratic party, the party that just won a bunch of elections, especially in your own state of arizona, which is a

battle ground state that we saw democrats sweep those key races in the senate and mark kelly getting re-elected, and kari lake losing. why would you leave now unless you know as a democrat you don't stand a chance. you know in the primary, gallego would wipe the floor with you. and in the general, he would generate the younger latino vote in a way that no other candidate in arizona would be able to do so. this is obviously just a craven grab for political relevance and trying to extend your political lifeline, and i think it's going to backfire massively. >> and by the way, she refused to get involved in getting rid of the filibuster to pass voting rights. you can see why. if you pass solid voting rights legislation, that helps voters of colors. and in her state, that's will -- that's latinos. if she runs as an independent,

she thinks she can do what's happening in vermont and alaska, where you have an independent who can push one of the two parties to stand down. but democrats, they don't have to stand down. ruben could run and she and the republican would split that vote and he would be the next senator. >> i think you're right, joy. listen, the only pool of voters she can reliably pool from is the mccain voters. gallego can tap into a massive pool of voters, and that's advantage that will not be full nighed by whatever sinema does here. >> it's going to be a presidential year. she will be able to have her fun for a year, and in 2014, everybody get to know how to spell it, gallego.

thank you, curt. i appreciate you. coming up -- before we go, by the way, to talk a little karma, and karma is a boomerang, joseph harding, the sponsor of the state's infamous don't say gay law, he has resigned in disgrace after being indicted for wire fraud, money laundering and other charges for his alleged role in a covid relief fraud scam. oh, my gosh. still ahead, i spoke with two of the fabulous co-hosts about the recent rise of anti-lbgtq rhetoric and violence targeting drag shows. it will be great conversation. stay right there. hows it will be great conversation. stay right there kevin, where are you?! kevin?!?!?.... hey, what's going on? i'm right here! i was busy cashbacking for the holidays with chase freedom unlimited. you know i can't believe you lost another kevin. it's a holiday tradition! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited.

according to npr, state lawmakers introduced 306 bills targeting trans people. 86% focuses on trans youth. mean while, drag shows, a performtive art form that has roots in shakespeare, has become a popular target of conservative politicians, who have proposed banning children from drag events and criminally charging parents who take their kids to one. one show has emerged as a beacon of hope, light, and love for the lbgtq community. we're here with this series that follows bob the drag queen and shandula is back for the third season. and the queens are traveling deeper into conservative america to spread even more love and understanding about the lbgtq community through their vibrant art. this season, they have faced a

notable uptick in hostility. here is a taste of what they experienced in st. george, utah. >> they are behind your back. we got permission to do our drag show in the town square. we did everything right. we got the permits, and then we find out that they were entertaining the idea of pulling our permit. a city councilwoman talked about her concerns and hbo. of course, you know, social media is a huge force in getting people riled up by instilling fear, they're worried that we're going to convert the mormons to gays. we can't convert anyone to gay. if that was the case, we would be doing missions, too.

>> joining me now from hbo's "we're here." i want to shout out to your ika o'hara who couldn't be here today. when i -- as much as i love the show and i think i might have told you, i just watch the episodes and cry all my makeup off. it's such an uplifting show. but i was nervous when i heard you were going out for another season, given what's happening out there right now in the world. so i do want to go to you first, d.j., were you nervous about going back into red america, given the cultural and political climate that is targeting drag shows? >> first, i want to say, joy, i'm also a huge fan of yours, so thank you for having us. people ask me a lot, were you

afraid being a part of the show this season? because the show is very reflective of what the sentiment right now in a lot of these conservative spaces is in america. so we get that question a lot, were you nervous? i was not nervous. i grew up in a small, conservative town in paris, texas. i'm not unfamiliar with this kind of rhetoric, with this kind of lack of visibility for the lbgtq plus community. and so it felt like, you know, this is the life that i've lived before. i'm not afraid. i think that we are in a you nike position where we have the opportunity to go out and shed a light. so i wasn't afraid, but i was very grateful that i had my sisters ride alongside me. but this -- these experiences are not just unique to us. these are experiences that our kids have to go through every day in these conservative spaces. if they're not afraid, we

shouldn't be either. if they are, we're showing up to say you're not alone. >> bob, i know one of you was in orlando and was a pulse nightclub survivor, as is my friend, brandon walt. we talk all the time about what happened in colorado springs happened, we had him on. he was angry for a very good reason that we haven't fixed anything between what happened at pulse and in colorado springs. talk a little bit about that, of having somebody in your show and having that trauma layered on top of all this other trauma. >> you know, sometimes -- some people will take up arms and do it with violence, with gun violence, because they know how easy it is to have access to weapons and how easy it is to be in these spaces. and it's just to scare us from going out and prevent us from

being in the world. it was really emotional to have a close survivor in orlando. it was more than emotional, it was gut wrenching. a lot of us go to these clubs to feel safe, without feeling judged. the only place you can dance the way you want to dance, dress the way you want to dress, be who you want to be, love who you want to love, without fear of being judged. and then when these places start feeling unsafe, i think that's a real crime. more than just literally criminal, but it's a crime to humanity in general. >> yeah, and it is terrorism. you know, being able to talk about that, because florida is where they have a law that

prohibits teachers from just showing their picture of their loved one, if they happen to be lbgtq. and they're married to a same-sex partner. or talking about their own lives and experiences as teachers. i just wonder if -- for you, do you feel like we are sliding backwards when they take that and go to the next thing of saying, if you're just reading story books to kids in drag suddenly you're a danger, a threat in places like texas and florida and other red states. >> i would ask anyone listening to this show, do you feel like we're going backwards when you hear about books still being banned in children's libraries. do you feel we're going backwards, looking at the laws coming against women right now. do you feel we're going backwards in not being able to put your partner's photo up in your classroom and just allow

that -- hearing that part of your life like every other teacher, where we look to move towards equality, do you feel like we're going backwards? i know my answer is yes. that's why it's so important that we have a show like "we're here" but just in general that we are all trying to stand together as a community, stand up for what's right. stand up for the progress that we have made, to get to where we are, and looking at how we are under attack right now. i specifically work with in florida, one of my drag kids, jamie, who is a schoolteacher, who has a beautiful young trans daughter, that she is every day having to fight for, as most parents feel that you have to stand up for your children when they don't have a voice. i really want to live in a word that is about equality, and inclusion, and equal rights for everybody. and it's not like that. you see it right now with

legislature in florida and texas that are specifically targeting the lbgtq community. we have the right to marry, we have all of these freedoms that so many before us have worked to secure. they're all under attack right now. and that -- the show is important. that's why the work we're doing is important. but for every person listening, it's important that you understand that you have a voice and you've got to be heard. >> i can't wait to binge the series again. i'm going to do it after i take my make you have off for the night. i love you all. thank you for doing what you do. much, much, much love. thank you. we'll be watching "we're here" on hbo, binge it, binge it. you'll feel good. thank you. how fun was that? they were great. i want to introduce you to my new friend, the youngest black
