the case of trevor reed, the u.s.perhaps the worst period in u.s./russia relations in many decades. and the war in ukraine. does that give you hope that the u.s. and iran could perhaps negotiate your brother and father's release? >> my hope, of course, is renewed when i see what has happened. at the same time, my disappointment grows. i see what happens when we and other families are pushing, if the president takes decisive action, if he takes and makes difficult decisions and if he deploys the tools that he has under his power, we will seek immediate results as we did with the trevor reed family and that's exactly what will happen with my family as well as others, if the president can make those difficult and grave decisions today. many families including mine can be reunited almost immediately. >> do you feel that the biden administration and by the way, i know you've criticized previous administrations, the obama administration and trump administration during which your brother has been held there for having a fail

i think you're going to have a political issue. >> and that is where trevor reed's nightmare truly beganafter what would become by most accounts a year-long sham of a trial. trevor was sentenced to nine years in prison, a judgment usually reserved for those who have committed murder. it was then that trevor's focus shifted from being proven innocent to surviving. any prison is brutal. russian prisons are notoriously awful and tough. did you have a strategy for surviving? >> i did. i tried to kind of compartmentalize and focus not on being in prison, kind of, you know, distract myself and think about future plans, what university i was going to go, to you know, what plans i was going to have with my family. >> did you have confidence you were going to get out? >> no, i didn't, and a lot of people are not going to like what i'm going to say about this, but i kind of viewed their having hoping a being a weakness so i did not want to have that hope of like me being released somehow and then have that taken from me. >> you denied yourself hope? >> yeah. i denied myself that. i wouldn't let my

and that's when trevor reed's nightmare really began. revor said was a total sham, he was sentenced to nine years behind bars. i asked trevor about the statement he delivered to the court. >> this isn't my last word whenever i was being, you know, sentenced. i said i understand in this country that pleaded guilty may lead to you having a shorter sentence. but i think it would be unethical and immoral to plead guilty to a crime that i truly did not commit. and if i'm going to be given a prison sentence, i would rather stay in prison an honest man than walk away tomorrow a liar and a coward. >> a remarkable thing to tell a russian court. >> yeah. and that's truly what i believe. if i would have had to sit there for ten years, for 20 years, it doesn't matter how long or what the punishment would be. i was not going to compromise, you know, my morals. and plead guilty to a crime that i didn't commit. i think that's unethical. and to me, the consequences of doing that didn't matter. >> during his 985 days in russian captivity, a jail, prison,

the entire time trevor was detained, his family was appealing for his release. but the reedsith some people they said had the power to help trevor but did not. >> to a certain extent, there was a certain apathy that trevor described in the russian government with some of our elected officials because if it's not about them getting a vote, they're too busy to deal with it. this is an american issue, not trevor, but all the other americans in the situation. we used to go to war over these things. now it's like if we get news time about it. they need to start bringing all of our americans home who were taken lie trevor was. >> we had bipartisan resolutions in congress and senate, and still handfuls of people would not sign them, and they all got very strongly worded emails from me, but it's outrageous to think that there was anybody that we elected or put in these positions that would not be -- >> marjorie taylor greene is not our representative. the day before trevor's appeal hearing where they were going to give the decision, she called for every resolution and every bill in t

trevor reed was released from a russian prison last week.and trevor reed and his family are dedicated to trying to help other families in similar situations. do you have any sense why the u.s. was able to secure his release and not austin's? >> well, the point that the government will make is that trevor was acknowledged. you know, his father was able to visit him. they had access to him. and so it was truly just a matter of what it was going to take to get him out. with austin, we first have to have acknowledgment of him, and that's one thing the syrians are still withholding or, you know, they have throughout the years said they would help locate austin. and so we need that first step, so that's what makes austin more complicated. the fact that their embassy and consulare closed in the united states, our embassy is closed in damascus. those engagements are challenging because we don't have a channel for them. >> did president biden suggest he will try to re-engage with the syrian government to try to find out more? >> well, you know, presi
