Folks, Brittany Griner got more bad news, as if the news couldn't get worse for her
0:35
She's already been sentenced to nine and a half years in a Russian prison
0:40
for a little bit of vape in a pen. A little bit of marijuana vape, I should say, in a pen
0:47
It's quite a harsh sentence, and a lot of people, of course, think it's political
0:51
It's gamesmanship between the Russians and the United States. The United States has offered a hardcore, arms-dealing terrorist in exchange for Brittany Griner
1:01
His name is Victor Bout, and he was known as the Merchant of Death
1:06
Very serious man, very dangerous person. The more bad news for Brittany comes in where a Russian official who's very close to Vladimir
1:16
Putin, he's actually one of his top advisors, was on a Moscow state-run television show
1:22
this weekend. And what he said was, it is not a priority for the Russians
1:27
It's not even on their radar, Brittany Griner. As far as they're concerned, she's sentenced, she's in prison, and she's going to stay there
1:34
for nine and a half years. Now, he also mentioned something very interesting, though, about Joe Biden
1:41
He said the only reason Joe Biden cares about it right now is because of the midterms
1:47
But he's also been distracted by the midterms in the United States, and therefore, he hasn't
1:52
been putting his best foot forward to try to get Griner home, to try to make that deal happen
1:57
It's very interesting because a lot of people have been banking on the Biden administration
2:02
to get her home. I contend, I contend that a lot of others have contended that if Donald Trump were still
2:09
the president of the United States, she'd be home ready. Now, you'll remember during Trump's time in office, a bunch of basketball players, American
2:18
basketball players were detained in North Korea, and he got them back inside of a week
2:23
Now, this is going on months with Brittany Griner, and there's no end really in sight
2:29
And no matter what you think of her or the fact that she didn't want to stand for the national anthem, I bet she'd love to hear it right now, it's a harsh sentence for a
2:36
little bit of marijuana and a vape pen. I think we can all agree to that. And the fact that the Biden administration has failed so spectacularly at getting her
2:46
back and getting Paul Whelan back, there's a number of people that we'd like to get back
2:50
The fact that they've failed so spectacularly on this and have not been called to task by
2:56
the media is kind of baffling. You're only going to hear about it on places like Facebook, where we're talking about it
3:03
because the mainstream media is completely shutting it out. And, you know, it doesn't seem to me that they want to talk about it
3:11
And I think if Trump were in office and this problem were happening, the people on the
3:17
mainstream media will be shouting, see, he's in bed with the Russians. That's why they feel like they can keep her
3:23
So it's this whole rigmarole thing. And to me, it's kind of crazy
3:28
And I think that Biden and the White House should be asked about this on a regular basis
3:32
as an American citizen being held for nine and a half years for a little bit of marijuana
3:36
