All those little things combined really help a small channel like ours start to grow
0:41
The midterms are coming. We've got to get the conservative message out there
0:45
We got to get people to vote Republican on November 8th. Folks, it is you, it is us together to take this country back
0:54
So President Joe Biden spoke to Jake Tapper about the upcoming G20 summit
0:59
and he was asked if he would speak to President Vladimir Putin
1:04
The president responded that he would speak to the Russian president only as it pertains to Britney Griner and getting her back
1:11
Now when he was leaving on Marine One, he was asked by a bunch of reporters again
1:16
if there was any movement on the Britney Griner front to which he said none with Putin
1:22
Now this is troubling on many levels for Britney Griner and her family
1:27
and for those who love her. And whether you like her or not, as a player, as a person
1:32
whatever the case may be, she was caught with a very little bit of cannabis oil in Russia
1:37
and sentenced to nine and a half years in prison. That's excessive by any means and this is obviously
1:44
you know, being used for more than just punishment for cannabis oil in my opinion
1:49
That being said, when you go to foreign countries, it is very wise to obey said foreign countries laws
1:55
because you never know when something like this might happen. So, Griner's attorney in Russia said that her client, his client rather
2:04
is now very afraid that she's going to have to spend the entire nine and a half years in a Russian prison
2:11
Well, judging by the lack of movement from the Biden administration, starting to look like that might be the case
2:19
there have been prisoners in Russia, Paul Whelan springs to mind, Trevor Reed
2:23
who spent great deals of time there, Paul Whelan still there. Again, you go to foreign countries, you take this risk
2:30
and for Griner, I think maybe at first they thought this was going to be a quick
2:35
prisoner swap for the merchant of death, Alex Bout, who the United States very publicly offered
2:42
to get Whelan and Griner back. I think that a lot of people are thinking if President Trump were in
2:48
office, Griner would be home by now because as you remember, a bunch of basketball players were detained in North Korea, Trump got them
2:56
back within about a week and then they came back to the United States and trashed Trump
3:02
as well as their father trashed Trump. So, you know, it's people are going to be who they are
3:08
The point here is Griner is in a precarious situation and it looks like the administration to me
3:15
it looks like they don't really care all that much and Griner's family has
3:19
really been supporting the Biden administration through this and you have to wonder why
3:24
since he's really done absolutely nothing for them of any substance to get anything done that we know of
3:30
So again remains to be seen what happens but you know, I don't anticipate a Biden-Putin meeting over Brittany
3:37
Griner at the G20 and you shouldn't either. Hey folks, thank you for joining us here at Explain America today
