there should search blacklists or the antithesis of free speech. what we all our founding principles. yes, there are ramifications. and sean, i think all these other ceos should take note of what elon musk has done in exposing this. thank goodness that he has purchased twitter. well said. all right, larry. thank you. pam bondi, thank you. now, also developing tonight, brittney griner with the wnba, the star of the wnba was locked up, as you know, in a russian gulag. serving a nine year prison sentence at a work camp. we have called for her release in the past, and this is after being convicted for breaking russian laws relating to weed possession. all right. we re grateful that brittany is going to be home back in the u.s. with her family safe and sound. this is a raw deal for a lot of reasons. first, in order to secure rayna s release, the biden administration actually ended up freeing a notorious international arms smuggler by the name of victor boot
the syrians, the taliban, the north koreans continue to take american after american hostage is eventually they hold onto him long enough, they dig in enough. we cave and we give them a better deal . how about this? how about we don t let putin dictate the terms? you re the white house press secretary saying, well, here was a choice the russians gave us . how about we dictate the terms? how about every terrorist group, every dictatorship out there in the world knows they touch a hair on an american s head and the costs are going to be so high, so painful, economically, diplomatically, even militarily, that they don t dare touch another american. but what he has done tonight may be a tactical win today, but is going to result in more and more and more americans being taken hostage down the line because they know the end of the day there s only upside for him.
despite the possibility that there might be an exchange without paul . our family still devastated. i can t even fathom how paul will feel when he learns this. now, a few years ago, obama s former defense secretary, robert gates, wrote joe biden has, quote, been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades. as president biden has proven gates right. afghanistan, the border weakness against china and inability to deter putin from invading its neighbors. because joe biden and our country, by the way, and the world now are less safe at any point since the height of the cold war. thank you, joe biden, very much. the american people, you deserve better. well, earlier today, our own peter doocy was asking why russia got such a good deal . take a listen. in this prisoner swap. why did russia get such a better deal ? look, you know, i ve talked about this and i ll say this again here, where our choices,
there s no downside whether it s putin, the iranian regime, you name it. and it s just my heart breaks for the wheelin family. my heart breaks for the americans being held around the world, and my heart breaks for future americans that are going to get snatched off the street the next time a dictatorship wants something. so danhof and you got the merchant of death, victor boot, one of the world s most notorious armed arms dealers. and you get brittney griner, who s only charged with while she was charged with a drug violation, a minor one . she got nine years in prison. but then you have a marine who d been held by the russians since 2018. why didn t he hold out for both before giving up the merchant of death? seems like a horrible deal for the u.s., even though i am very glad that that brittney griner is home. i , i had said many times that i hope we get her out of there . i think we can have both of those make both those
