argue the trevor read deal is a reasonable deal once they know they get victor boot for brittany grinerow they're getting every incentive to hold folks like evan, like paul for longer until they get a deal. that's the problem with the strategy. to keep taking americans. but potentially what could have happily only be released if we swap them for somebody? it does appear in virtually every to the bite administration makes it clear they are willing to negotiate that price probably goes up. russians know, like the iranians do they have us over a barrel for just as the iranian set billions and billions of dollars from us to get the americans home, i think the russians are likely to extract an even higher price from us. eric: every time you come into the fox building, we sure this building and h or corporate cousins with the wall street journal and news corporation you see a huge photo of evan downstairs at the elevator with the # free evan. so we call on his release and we hope the american people stand by that. because journalism is not a crime. can't wait for that date when evan is return

before going after avenue after brittney griner was a basketball player.all about getting into the american psyche. it doesn't matter who it is he takes hostage he wanted to have impact. in this case he chose some it may be less because of the expertise about russia and more because he worked at the wall street journal which is known to report more of a conservative audience. i think he wants to get the conservative audience to be onside with him saying the u.s. needs to ease up and support for ukraine on pushback against russia in order to get him home. >> that result is the opposite effect and that americans have rallied around evan. everyone in journalism has rallied around him. politicians, officials speaking out from the white house on down against this unjust incarceration. >> putin is often a master at producing the opposite of the effect he intends. if you look at his invasion of ukraine he was trying to stamp out ukraine as a national identity, a language of people but all he is done is >> the ukrainian national identity. even the russian speakers
