no surprise, brittney griner is a hostage. she's been a hostage to the putin government from the very beginning. unfortunately she's a valuable hostage. the more publicity and attention she gets, the more that it increases her value to vladimir putin. and 250 days is also the amount of time that the whole country of ukraine has been held hostage to a brutal war of extinction and attacks on civilians. think about the millions people impacted by this. brittney griner is a very advise able public example of the lengths to which the outlaw putin government will go. >> well said, susan. and also as we were just talking about, it is not just griner that the administration is trying to get out of russia of course. there is also the former u.s. marine paul whelan. former governor bill richardson who we all know has done a ton of work in gets hostages home. he told jake tapper a couple of weeks ago he believes they could be freed by the end of the year and he said it is never smart to be making these type of predictions. what would hav

i would say 100% brittney griner is a hostage of the putin regime right now. because of the exceptionally severe sentencing she has been given, the fact that the russian government is making demands for her release, those are characteristics of a hostage situation, not a legitimate criminal trial. kristen: let's talk about what the -- let's talk about those demands. what are they? >> one thing interesting about when a foreign government uses foreigners as hostages is that they do not often come out and make explicit demands for the prisoner release. we know based on reporting in state owned media by reports of what the russians are asking for behind-the-scenes, that they want a prisoner swap. they have asked the for the release of a notorious arms dealer who is imprisoned in the united states who was tried and convicted of participating in arms trades that hurt victims all around the world. it seems the russians also want more. the biden administration has made clear that they made an offer to trade victor boot for brittney griner and another american named pa

to discuss brittney griner? have you seen any movement on that front? >> not with putin. >> susan, what is this that he's trying to message here, do you think? >> first of all, i would say it's highly unlikely you'll see any meeting between vladimir putin and joe biden any time soon, even over a limited subject such as the release of another american hostage, which is what brittie greiner is. the reason is that putin is, right now, acting as a terrorist as i pointed out. america doesn't negotiate with terrorists. i think it will be hard for biden to directly engage with vladimir putin, given the weigh he sort of outraged the international order. i think it's important for bide been to be shown political as someone speaking up for an american citizen, who has essentially become a pawn in this super-power contest. i think the aggressive effort to negotiate unfortunatelily, this is a sign they're not get very far in their private effort. the way he responded, not with putin, i took as optimistic, because everyone w
