marine veteran trevor reed. ry has been in a russian jail since 2019 when he was sentenced to nine years for endangering, the russian court said, the life and health of russian police officers in an altercation. reed and his family have denied those charges. u.s. ambassador to russia, john sullivan, called reed's trial, quote, theater of the absurd. now reed is speaking out in a letter that he sent to his family from the hospital while sick there with coronavirus. the letter dated june 7th, prison authorities forced him to write it in russian even though he doesn't speak it fluently. it says in part, we are quoting, "i have not received any other letters. i don't know whether you will receive this letter from me or not." he also notes he tested positive for covid again writing, "i've got pain in my lungs. also i suffer from cough from time to time. i have lost a futile grams in weight." he asks does the embassy and the state department in washington know about me? remarkable. reed's parents spoke exclusively wit

reed recently contracted covid-19 while in custody. with me now, joey and paula reed. with me. before we get to the political element and before we get to the president's conversation with vladimir putin, how is your son? what is the latest on his diagnosis and treatment? >> well, we got a quick phone call from him and he has been returned back to his jail. he said he is still having chest pain and he has requested a new covid test and x-ray, and it's -- he also said that while he was in the hospital jail that he did not receive any treatment, all he got was, like, vitamins. >> so you had a phone call with him. when was the call? >> monday morning -- >> i think it was tuesday. was it monday? >> the day before yesterday. >> paula, the last time we spoke at the end of our conversation you were breaking down just having not heard from him. what was it like to hear from your son, to hear his voice? >> obviously it was very exciting for us, and i could tell the phone rang and you could tell from the number on it it was trevor from overseas, and his sister was here and got t

paul woulhelan and trevor reed,e other u.s.ferent category than the serious criminals russians want exchanged. >> not a one for one. g matthew chance, thank you so much. matthew mentioned trevor reed, i spoke to his parents. he's a former u.s. marine. they say the assault charges on which he's been convicted are also fabricated. reed's mother told me last week why she hopes that president biden will take up her son's case with putin. >> when trevor was serving in the marine corps, he had to sign extra time on his term to do presidential guard. and he served during the obama administration when president obama and then vice president biden were at camp david. trevor was there, helping to protect them. we are begging and hoping and praying that president biden will do his best to bring our son home, because he protected him at camp david. >> reed's parents recently learned that he tested positive for covid-19. is now in isolation in prison. he's serving a nine-year sentence. >>> up next, was the kentucky derby winner medina spiri

that's a statement from paula and joey reed, the parents of trevor reed.t comes a few days after they received their last communication with him in the form of a letter. it was handwritten in russian because apparently according to the russian prison rules, you have to write letters in russian so the authorities can read it. here's sort of a translation of what he said. said his blood pressure was very high, telling his parents, i've got pain in my lungs, i suffer from a cough from time to time, i've lost several kilograms in weight. we aren't allowed to go for walks. he's saying that he hasn't had much access, either, to embassy officials, and he's concerned whether they even know about his case. look. this is one of the issues that the two presidents are going to speak on. i spoke with the kremlin a couple of days ago. they say, look, it's a sensitive issue, but it is likely to be on the agenda when the two presidents meet on wednesday. >> what is the president saying so far? >> reporter: in the case of trevor reed, the diplomats in moscow have been real

but barry and reed were both very cooperatively.they had very interesting perspectives on the family. gary is the oldest child. his family experience was very different from reed's. by the time reed had grown, was coming into adolescence, the family had begun to settle down. his parents ' marriage had result for some of the previous issues. his mother's drinking had been under control, should stop drinking. the experience that randy and gary had something different from the younger boys had. but they are pleased to know that there are still people that remember randy and still on his work. >> did he always want to be a journalist? and how early did that avenue of expression hit him? it was in high school? was it in college when did it happen? >> no, it was in college. he started out as an english major. and i think the combination of understanding that a lot of long writing a reading, but there were not a lot of jobs for english majors. but also, this idea that journalism could move people, could change people. he had a big ego -- h

here'sjim reed.e in england will, it looks like, have to wait longer until restrictions like this are finally lifted. ministers always said june the 21st was the earliest, that all social—distancing rules could be scrapped, allowing more than six people to meet inside again. a rise in infections music that is now very unlikely to happen. sadly, we are in the grip of the early stages of a third wave of the virus and it is this delta variant, the so—called indian variant, which has a very significant transmission advantage over the previous variant, the kent variant. covid cases are still well below the peak injanuary but covid cases are still well below the peak in january but they covid cases are still well below the peak injanuary but they have been going up driven by that delta variant. ministers say the data shows vaccines can still stock many of those cases turning into hospital admissions. we are not seeing by and large that pulled _ we are not seeing by and large that pulled through into hospit

reed has been now diagnosed with covid-19. other americans are also suffering these same injustices inflicted by the russian government. paul wheeling, first arrested on baseless charges in december, 2018. remains unjustly imprisoned and is serving a 16-year sentence. the imprisonment of american citizens in russia for political purposes likely in an attempt to force the united states to release convicted russian criminals and putin cronies in the united states is a despicable practice and an affront to human rights and the rule of law everywhere. i am grateful that president biden in his meeting with vladimir putin in geneva specifically demanded the release of trevor reed and paul wheeler and i'm pleased that we in congress are continuing to do the same with the consideration of this resolution. the kremlin must release trevor reed, paul wheeling and all others wrongfully detained in russia so they may finally return to their families. this is an important bill resolution. and i support it and i urge my colleagues to do the

that's highly unusual, despite what ralph reed says, and disturbing as well.oining us is political commentator and republican strategist alice stewart. also joining us is april ryan. alice, did you ever think you would see the day when mike pence would get called a traitor at christian conservative conference? >> never. he's truly a face for the faith and freedom, traitor is about someone who betraying their friend, their country and their principles. that is not mike pence. here's what he did on the day on january 6th. he told the president and the country, i cannot stand in the way of the certification of these election results, in his role as president of the senate. he is there to certify, not obstruct. he is there to overseed certification of the results. that's exactly what he did. rational republicans realize he was doing his job and upholding the constitution. >> april, you saw ralph reed downplaying this. >> you cannot downplay what happened to him, like you cannot downplay what happened on january 6th. this is a minor offshoot, you if you will, of wh

let me go to you first, professor gordon reed. i want to start with you as the historian here. as you heard from me at the top of the show and with his ifill, the politics of juneteenth recognition and certainly that path through congress are complex. but i also don't want to lose sight of the symbolic good that so many advocates and lawmakers have fought for and finally realized this week. so i wonder if you might explain less the symbolism of juneteenth, but more the symbolism of this now federal recognition, the line from 1865 to 2021, can you do that for me in 60 seconds? >> well, it gives everybody an opportunity to celebrate and advance in human rights. this is not just about black people. it's not just about texans. it's not just about the united states of america. slavery in texas was defeated by the military, and the military with black troops who went to galveston along with gordon granger and made this pronouncement. so i think that is something that is worth talking about and talking about the fact that african-american people worked to liberate themselves, not just

. >> i want to thank my friend ralph reed for those words. the introduction i prefer is a little bit shorter. >> joining us now is nbc news political correspondent ali vitale. ali, this is an early start to the primary. tell us what you collected yesterday in your reporting, including what happened on that stage a couple hours ago. >> reporter: very early start to our conversations about 2024, but i hope you'll allow me, as a fellow politico, because moving over all of this is the shadow of the former president donald trump. you saw it there in the clip you just showed, mike pence having a higher tightrope to walk really than any other republicans here because of the part he played in upholding the election results on january 6 in washington, d.c. we know that's something that's lingering with some in the trump base. clearly you heard it there, one woman in the crowd shouting "traitor." others around him, even though pence ignored the comment, were saying, no, no, and trying to get the woman to be quiet. that just goes to show the juggling ac

reed: let me welcome sec.linken and thank him for the service he has rendered today and for many years. the global engagement center at the state department has a responsibility to integrate, synchronize, coordinate efforts designed to upset this information efforts aimed at undermining the united states. do you have these structures and resources to do that? it is a whole of government operation. sec. blinken: thank you for putting a spotlight on that. i believe we do and i believe it is vitally important. the work it does to educate, expose, mitigate disinformation is increasingly important. the good news is the global engagement center has become the premier platform for not only exposing but sharing that information with countries around the world so we can act together. we have put in place a rapid response and is him -- response mechanism with other countries to go back at misinformation. we have asked for resources to make sure we can sustain the operations of the global engagement center, but welcome w

reed denies the charges and u.s. ambassador to russia john sullivan called the trial theater of the absurd, and now we're hearing from trevor reed in his own voice, at least in his own words in a letter he sent to his family from the hospital while sick with covid. it's dated june 7th. he was forced to write in russian even though he doesn't speak it fluently. he says i have a little pain in my lungs. also i suffer from cough from time to time. i have lost a few killograms in weight. he asked does the state department in washington know about me? joining us, trevor's parents. thank you both for being here. i want to talk to you about the letter which is rather heartbreaking in a moment, but first, russian leader vladimir putin was asked directly about your son in a tv news interview, and i want to play you, and i have to warn you, you're not going to like what he has to say here. it's not particularly gentle. listen to what he says. >> your guy, the marine, he's just a drunk and a troublemaker. as they say here, he g

. >> i want to thank my friend ralph reed for those overly -- >> i am a christian and a conservative and a republican in that ords. i am honored to stand before you today. >> well, we know why pence got the traitor treatment, right? because on january 6th and his role as vice president, he upheld the constitution and the will of the american people and did not bow to trump's insane demand to overturn joe biden's victory. for that, on january 6th, he was met with these chants. >> hang mike pence! hang mike pence! >> let me say it again, a gallow was brought to the capitol hill to hang the vice president of the united states. mike pence had to be safely evacuated from the house floor as rioters broke into the chamber. mike pence put country above trump's crazy requests to overturn the election so trump could remain in office. for that, he gets heckled by the same people who would be the first to lecture you or anyone about law and order and the constitution. he did something that should be deemed in any circle as patriotic. the twice impeached and one-term, sore-loser still gets a free

now we have former atlanta mayor kasim reed doing a comeback.o much more interesting. i live no atlanta's mayor races. i have covered several of them in my career. i covered mayor reed's first and second run for mayor. those were both very interesting. i covered the race for mayor bottoms in 2017, where, you know, mayor reed had hand-pitched keesha lance bottoms as his successor, rode for her hard, and really torched all of her challengers in a vitt vittry-- vitriolic race, so quite a change of tune for mayor reed in terms of mayor bottoms, and what he thinking of her performance, which is not unprecedented mayor jackson, the first black mayor of atlanta actually ran for a third term after he had served two consecutive terms. it's not unprecedented, but certainly mayor reed was mayor before he turned 40, was somebody who a lot of folks felt lie he kept the city safe. crime is a huge issue in atlanta, especially in the last year with this pandemic. so for folks who thought he did a good job on that, you know, you know, he is somebody that they ma

both are former marines, convicted on charges on the eve of the summit. 29-year-old trevor reed shared an audio message pleading for his release. there's no promise that reed will be allowed to return to his family in texas, but his parents are hopeful after biden brought up his name yesterday. >> i think it's huge. i do. i really think it's huge, and we have the last big final step for him to come home. >> this is really what our whole goal in life has been for the -- almost the last two years. >> biden found that he will follow through with questions about the detained americans. >>> returning to the pandemic. a former white house adviser says the delta variant of the p steroids. the variant first seen in india is more contagious than other strains and it's now spread to at least 37 states. the good news is the vaccines appear to work against it, but the biggest concern is for states with low vaccination rates where covid infections are up nearly 20% in the last two weeks. doctors say it's hard to tell if you come down with the delta variant because the symptoms are the same as the o

and i am honored to stand before you today. >> reporter: he mentioned ralph reed. he is the founder of the faith and freedom coalition. i got a chance to ask him about the booing. number one, he played down the number of people actually participating. i think i counted between something like a half dozen and a dozen. i can't tell you exactly how many people were engaged in that. the other thing ralph reed points out is that as far as he is concerned, the party is still a big tent and people have room to disagree. jim? >> and at the same conference, ted cruz made some outlandish comments about critical race theory being taught in schools. what more can you tell us about that? >> reporter: i absolutely lost count of the number of people who got on the stage and talked about critical race theory. senator cruz who showed up also yesterday really sort of took it to a completely different level. listen. >> critical race theory says every white person is a racist. critical race theory says america is fundamentally racist, irredeemably racist. it seeks to turn us against e

it's actually this this book here 10 and dome that tells the story about philip reed and his crucial importance in in casting the statue freedom. so it's very personal these these guidebooks tend to be very personal they're written at a time when very few people actually travel and so often it would just be somebody who travel to dc and wanted to talk about what he or she had seen so that the folks at home could have that experience as well. so for instance this book here by a guy named dr. john ellis. as far as i can tell he did not live anywhere in the area, but he just came down once and spent some time in washington and wrote that up ellis was kind of an odd character. i found very little information about him. the only other book that he wrote was sort of very very odd. it's sort of almost conspiracy theory type of book, but this is a pretty straightforward narration. the only thing that sort of fun about it is things he gets away with that you would not get away with today. so he talks about knowing into the wondering through the capital and going into the basement sub basement
